Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 32 Part 3

Therefore, most organizations do not encourage ability users with Chaos tendency to upgrade. It’s not discrimination, but mainly for the mental and physical health of the individuals concerned and others.

— Compared to “Chaos”, “Order” is exactly the opposite. This is the source of power for humanity’s greatest weapon, “rules”, and also the only ability tendency for which all organizations are intensively cultivating high-level talents.

Mid to high-level “Order” ability users can define areas, write rules, and maintain order. They strive for the maximum survival gaps and space for resistance for humans.

Currently, the containment of abominations also largely relies on the power of Order ability users. They are the assault forces in the struggle between ability users and abominations, and also the cornerstone that supports the internal operation of the entire ability user organization.

“It’s just that there are still too few Order ability users that can be found now. You could say it’s a case of too many monks and not enough porridge.” Su Sui’er had been talking non-stop, talking until her mouth was dry, and gulped down a big glass of water, “Ah, but it’s not to say that other ability tendencies are not important. Although there are distinctions between ability tendencies, the specific skills manifested in individuals are all different. And tendency is not the only criterion for judging a person’s strength…”

“I don’t know about other organizations, but for Renxin Institute, they still value comprehensive quality more.”

Xu Turan, who was drinking water: “…”

Very good, this advertisement placement could be said to be quite hard.

Moreover, comprehensive quality…?

She recalled the trembling young man she had seen on the 15th floor not long ago. That guy seemed to be from Renxin Institute, right? What was his name again, Xiao Zhang?

Xu Turan thought for a moment, politely didn’t question Su Sui’er’s words, but instead took the opportunity to throw out another question she was particularly concerned about.

“You’ve been talking about upgrading… What exactly is the process of upgrading? What does ‘cultivation’ mean? Does it mean the organization will have someone help with upgrading?”

“Help… you could say that.” Su Sui’er scratched her cheek, “But I actually don’t know much about this.”

Xu Turan: “?”

“I upgraded on my own by instinct. And my ability tendency is ‘War’, it’s not good to upgrade too high.” Su Sui’er said honestly.

She was the type who would actively give up upgrading for self-preservation, and now she was only at “Candle” level.

“By instinct?” Xu Turan became interested, pulled over a chair, and moved closer to her, “Can you explain in more detail?”

Su Sui’er was startled by her movement, then chuckled lightly: “This… I don’t know how to explain it. It was just one night, I suddenly had a dream, in the dream there were two doors. I pushed open one of them and walked in, inside… ouch.”

She rubbed her temple, her brows slightly furrowed: “What was inside again? I can’t remember. Anyway, it was a place, with a lot of people. I followed the crowd forward in a daze, and when I woke up, I had upgraded to Candle level.”

Xu Turan: “…?”

How nice. I wish I could have a share of such a daze.

However, Su Sui’er’s words did verify some of her thoughts.

It seems that the two doors she had dreamed of before were indeed related to ability tendency upgrading… but why did Su Sui’er also see two doors?

Xu Turan had always thought that because her “Mad Rabbit” had dual tendencies, and she had obtained entry tickets that could be used for both tendencies, that’s why she saw two doors at once. But according to Su Sui’er’s explanation, she only had one “War” tendency…

“Do you know what was behind the other door that you didn’t open at that time?” she couldn’t help but ask.

“I don’t know. I couldn’t even enter that door.” Su Sui’er shook her head, then seemed to realize something and looked at Xu Turan thoughtfully, “Why, have you also dreamed of something similar?”

Xu Turan’s eyes flickered, and she nodded: “Mm, I dreamed of it.”

“But I don’t know what’s behind those doors, so I didn’t dare to push them open. After that, I never dreamed of it again,” she added, “Did I miss something?”

“That’s normal.”

A faint voice came from the side. Xu Turan turned her head, her gaze falling on Weiwei sitting at the table.

Weiwei didn’t talk much, and had been silent since entering the room. Now she suddenly spoke, her tone very certain:

“Don’t rush, this is normal.”

“…Is that so?” Xu Turan glanced at her, although she didn’t know the reason, she felt a bit better, “Can you tell me why?”

“The reason…” Weiwei tilted her head, “You can understand it as the network not being good.”

Xu Turan: “…”

Huh?

“Didn’t you just ask what’s behind the door?” Weiwei continued unhurriedly, suddenly changing the topic, “I once heard an Omniscience ability user in the Institute say. Behind that door is a ‘server’.”

Xu Turan: “…???”

“Similar to… like a website?” she tried to follow Weiwei’s description.

Weiwei nodded: “Mm, a game server. Behind each door is a separate server for an ability tendency… That’s why Su Sui’er said there were many ‘people’ there.”

Those people are not all “people” — some are ability users, some are monsters.

To be precise, those are actually beings who have the same ability tendency as her and logged into that server at the same time.

“In the ‘server’, people’s consciousness is hazy. They can’t identify others or remember themselves. The only thing they can do is move forward — the further forward they go, the fewer people there are. The deeper they go, the higher their level.”

Weiwei took a small bite of the cookie in her hand: “At least that’s the description I heard.”

Xu Turan pondered: “Then when you said earlier that my network wasn’t good, you meant…”

“Server congestion.” Weiwei said seriously, “If your signal is poor, you can’t squeeze in.”

Xu Turan: …

She opened her mouth, then silently closed it. There were too many issues with this explanation, she didn’t know where to start criticizing.

“So what can I do?” She exhaled, “Should I… pull another network cable?”

Or use a VPN? Or buy a VIP subscription?

“If you’re in an organization, you can apply to take specific drugs. To help you enter.” Weiwei said unhurriedly, “Coming into contact with abominations of the same tendency can also increase the probability of entry. Some people encounter this during missions, but it’s very dangerous. Nine deaths out of ten.”

“Mm… so some people also buy contained and suppressed abominations, though there are risks too…”

The kind of people she was talking about were naturally the target customers of Old Jiang’s Taobao store.

But Xu Turan’s focus wasn’t on this right now.

“…Wait.” She paused for a moment, suddenly raising her hand to stop, “Excuse me, what did you just say?”

Weiwei: “?”

She blinked and thought for a moment, then said slowly: “There are risks too.”

“No, no, no, not that, it’s what you said before…”

Before Weiwei could repeat, Xu Turan remembered herself.

Right, she had said “missions” and “nine deaths out of ten”.

…Xu Turan quickly locked onto the key words.

She felt like a light bulb suddenly lit up above her head.

To be honest, she had noticed the purpose behind Su Sui’er and Weiwei’s eager visits to her. Weiwei aside, Su Sui’er’s mode of inserting advertisements at every opportunity was just short of having “Join Renxin Institute now and get a 999 new member gift package” carved on her forehead.

But until now, Xu Turan had always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this, and even had some hidden resistance.
