Volume 10 – Chapter 19: Combat Power (Part 2)

But not long after Sun Xiaosheng left, the black coal in the incinerator suddenly cracked open.

But a sturdy body came out of this huge coal, walking in flames, and finally came out unscathed.

His muscles were dense, outshining all bodybuilding champions in the world. It was just that such a fit body didn’t last long. It swelled, and soon it became full of fat again.

“Since I was burned in Chang’an that year, I haven’t been roasted by fire for a long time.”

He moved his neck. Just as when he was planning the next move, there was a sudden crack in the space around him. Oda, dressed in black and wearing a hat, frowned and walked out.

Dong Zhuo saw how damaged Oda’s clothes were. The weapon named Onikiri was gripped tightly in Oda’s hand. Dong Zhuo squinted and laughed, “It seems that you aren’t doing well, the Great Devil of the 6th Heaven.”

Oda frowned deeper, “It seems that our intelligence is faulty. In addition to the True Dragon of Divine Land, this city is guarded by a mysterious force. Unfortunately, I failed to retrieve the spirit vein.”

“My plan to guide Sun Xiaosheng into our group has to be put aside as well.” Dong Zhuo opened his eyes slightly, “Although this spiritual vein is useful, it is not something irreplaceable. Since it isn’t easy to acquire it, let it be. Eric, who I led into the group, said last time that there is a spokesperson of that place in this city. Most likely, the chain is his work.”

Oda snorted, still seemingly dissatisfied.

Dong Zhuo said calmly, “The Great Devil of the 6th Heaven, don’t be discouraged. If protecting this city involves the transaction of that place, even if we come out in full force, we won’t be able to stir up any trouble here. Not just us, everyone and everything is minute in the face of his existence.”

Oda frowned again, “Is there no way to go about it?”

Dong Zhuo spread his hands, “Nope.”

Oda said solemnly, “How can we achieve transcendence!?”

Dong Zhuo turned around and left, “Of course, it is to find the answer to this challenge.”

Oda groaned for a few seconds and finally let out a cold snort, “I will return to Aichi Prefecture [1]. So, I’m not heading back into the space gap. There is a guy with great potential over there, and I intend to guide him.”

“I’m going to look for food.”

…

The maid just bought some fresh ingredients from the supermarket, and the seafood was fresh. The maid did a pretty good job in processing the unique shrimps in the kitchen.

But at this moment, a crack appeared on the table. A chain slowly crawled out of the crack, like well-behaved as a pet. It finally climbed onto the maid’s hand and then wrapped around her wrist.

The chain hummed slightly.

The maid’s action of picking out the shrimp’s intestine did not stop. After a while, she said calmly, “Got it. Feel free to go back.”

The chain then slowly loosened from the maid’s wrist, retreated the same way it came, and disappeared.

“Do you need help?”

Boss Luo walked in with a small pot of mint. This was one of the potted plants planted in front of the lobby counter, growing at an unreasonable rate. After the mint leaves were harvested, they would grow back the next day. It was an everyday item that the boss and the maid used for bartending and cooking.

“Um… Master, can you heat the oil?”

“Are you going to make fried shrimp?”

“Right, do you like it?”

Boss Luo smiled and began to pour cooking oil into the pot.

You Ye whispered at this moment, “Master, there are Transcendeds attempting to take away that spiritual vein in your house.”

As for the result, Boss Luo didn’t care too much because it was an established fact that nothing could take away the spiritual vein.

Luo Qiu looked at the bubbles slowly emerging from the golden oil in the pot and suddenly joked, “The gap between two spaces – the transcended side and the scientific side. Speaking of which, the transcended side has varying strength levels and annotations. For example, the divine power system, the daoist circle, the levels distinguishing the demon beast race. But there seems to be no strict definition on the scientific side?”

You Ye blinked and said curiously, “Master, are you going to grade the scientific division? How?”

Boss Luo smiled and said, “When I was young, I liked a character called Super Electromagnetic Cannon [2]. How about levels? LV1, LV2, etc.?”

The maid asked, “What should be the benchmark?”

Boss Luo brainstormed, “How about we grade the scientific side based on power alone? But, there’s a distinction between genetic modification and other means to obtain the equivalent transcended power. For example, there’s Prometheus, a man-made species. In addition, people with superpowers like Mo Xiaofei who have developed their brain domain should fail in the science category. After all, the research development of the brain domain seems to have started since World War II.”

“So, should the armed forces also be counted?” You Ye began to extend the master’s new definition.

“Then, let’s grade the kinetic energy generated by the most basic handgun bullet as the benchmark for LV1. Then, we extend the threshold based on the comparison with those in similar power levels.”

“But there are too many types of superpowers. Also, there are those with pure auxiliary properties. For example, innate psychic power can only be used for hypnosis. How do we define it?”

Boss Luo smiled and said, “We can do it in a simple and straightforward manner. For the time being, let’s classify the scientific side with destructive power. That will be convenient. To say which is more excellent, it also depends on the circumstances. Let’s temporarily create this database first and then gradually grade them later. After all, we have a lot of time.”

Thinking of this, Boss Luo suddenly had an idea. Recalling some of his childhood thoughts, he smiled and said, “At the end, we can classify both Transcendence’s side and Science’s side into combat power. For example, the combat power of an ordinary person equipped with a hunting rifle can be defined as “5.” On the other hand, the common demon beast that has just entered adulthood has a combat power of ’50’ or something… En, the oil temperature is just fine now.”

“Let me do it.” The maid smiled slightly, submerged the peeled shrimp with powder, and put it in the sizzling oil.

…

When the bullet was shot from a very long distance and successfully penetrated the forehead of a graceful middle-aged woman in the next second, O’Neill quickly left the place where he was.

In an open-air cafe in the distance, Lluvia nodded towards Song Haoran at the same time.

Song Haoran, who was reading the newspaper, folded the newspaper and said, “With this, there is only one target left. Are you ready?”

Lluvia nodded and said, “I have got the ticket for the theater tonight.”

“Good job.” Song Haoran looked at the Lluvia’s hot body and smiled gracefully, “Beautiful Miss Lluvia, please let me choose a suitable evening dress for you?”

Ouch!

Lluvia smiled and nodded slightly.
