In a corner of the slum of Junk Star No. Z747, in a dilapidated shack, a little girl with a yellow face and a skinny face was lying on a bed made of several wooden boards.
She didn't know if she was having a nightmare, but the girl's brows were furrowed tightly, and cold sweat continued to break out on her forehead.
Countless scenes flashed through the dream, stopping at the final scene of cutting the throat.
Nan Qi woke up instantly. She sat up suddenly and gasped for air.
I don’t know why she always feels that the scene in the dream is very real, as if it has happened, but how is this possible? She has never seen the person who appears in the dream.
She picked up a worn-out optical computer beside her pillow and checked the time. She found that it was already late, so she quickly got up. After washing, she hurried out with a tube of inferior nutrient solution in her mouth.
Although today is nothing special for others, it is a big day for Nan Qi.
Children in the Alphas Empire can take a talent test after their tenth birthday. Once they are found to have a certain talent, it is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step, so those who have children in the empire are very concerned about this.
However, talented people are unique, and most people still remain in the ranks of ordinary people.
Nan Qi has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
The planet Z747 where she is located is a garbage star in a remote galaxy of the empire. Most of the people living on this planet are poor people at the bottom of the empire. They live in poverty and do not have enough to eat all year round.
Nan Qi has lived here alone since she can remember, and that dilapidated shack is her home.
The place where talents are tested is in the center of the city, but the slums are on the outermost edge of the city. Outside the slums are mountains of accumulated garbage.
Because today was a big day, she took the luxury of taking a public hovercar.
Interstellar's public hovercars are not very expensive, but Nan Qi's income is really low, and she would never be willing to do such a luxury.
The speed of the hover car is very fast, and it takes only half an hour to reach the place where the talent is tested.
The gate of the Talent Testing Office is very beautifully built and can be regarded as the most luxurious building on the entire planet.
There were several children queuing up in front of the door, while their parents were waiting aside.
Nan Qi walked over and lined up. When the other children saw her tattered clothes, they all subconsciously stayed a few steps away.
Although we are all children on the garbage planet, they have a father and a mother, which is different from the orphans who pick up garbage.
Nan Qi didn't care about this. After living here for so many years, she had seen this kind of vision many times. If she took everyone to heart, she would not be alive.
Now all her mind was focused on the test inside. She didn't know whether she had any talent. Her fists were clenched tightly and her palms were all sweaty.
Time passed by, and the team moved slowly. After a while, Nan Qi followed the team into the interior of the testing office.
The interior of the testing room is decorated very grandly, and the interior is simple and bright. In the middle is the service desk, with two beautiful ladies sitting inside.
Generally, people who can work in this kind of place have some connections behind them.
But this had nothing to do with Nan Qi. She was at the back of the queue, looking at the people who had tested in front of her, some with happy expressions, some with sad expressions, and she felt increasingly uneasy.
The Alphas Empire is a country where orcs and humans live together. The physique of orcs is inherently superior to humans, but the mental power of humans is superior to orcs, and the mental power of humans has a specific form. In this way, it is not inferior to orcs. What.
Nan Qi is a pure human. To be precise, the vast majority of people living in Z747 are humans, and there are also a small number of orcs with poor talents and weak constitutions.
The staff who tested it for everyone have long been familiar with this process, and they are even a little bored now.
There are really too few talented people on this planet. None of the people who come to the test every day have mental power above D level, and their mental power forms are also mediocre.
For example, the boy who is being tested now has only the lowest level E level of mental power, and his mental power form is not outstanding, he is just an ordinary cloud cat.
This thing is nothing but cute.
The staff member waved his hand in disappointment and asked him to leave. There were still people waiting for the test behind him.
Tears rolled in the boy's eyes, but he held back the tears and walked out. His back was full of loneliness, and Nan Qi could faintly see his shoulders shaking.
The staff just sighed. After working for so many years, they have long been used to this kind of situation. Not to mention others, their own talents are also very ordinary, otherwise they would not be a small person on this garbage planet. staff of.
The next person to test was a little girl. The staff asked her to put her hand on the machine in front of her, then close her eyes and feel it carefully.
After a while, red spiritual power floated out of her mind and gathered into a small red beast above her head.
Seeing this, the staff nodded with satisfaction. Finally, someone came to see her. Although her mental power was only the most ordinary D level, her mental power had fire attributes, which was pretty good in this junk planet.
"Yes, the fire-attribute Cloud Dog has an ordinary mental body, but it has attributes. It's pretty good. Go and register over there." The staff pointed to the registration office on the other side. Only after registration can you receive the subsidy issued by the empire. .
Although the little girl is a little disappointed that her spiritual body is ordinary, it is still good compared to others.
Although Nan Qi has been living in a slum, he still knows about talent testing, such as which talent is the best and which talent is the most common.
In the empire, the most common talents are the most common cats, dogs, flowers and plants. The best talents are naturally the golden dragons represented by the imperial royal family. As for other types of talents, Nan Qi has never heard of them. So she doesn't know yet.
After the little girl, there was no one who was particularly noteworthy. They were just talented people like flowers, plants, cats and dogs.
Soon everyone in front finished the test. Nan Qi stepped forward and stood in front of the talent testing machine, and put his hand on it according to the staff's instructions.
She closed her eyes, but after a while she felt something float out of her mind, and a large group of transparent and colorless spiritual power gathered above her head.
Compared to other people's small balls, Nan Qi's mental power ball was quite huge, and the staff on the side widened their eyes in surprise.
What's going on? This little girl's mental power is so big. Is her mental body something big?
But no matter what it is, her mental power level is at least much higher than others.
The two staff members looked at each other, and both saw excitement and shock in each other's eyes.
They test the children here. If there are high-talented people among them, they will be rewarded by the superiors. The higher the talent of the other party, the more rewards they will receive.
