Ronan walked out from the backstage, followed the staff's instructions, went to the waiting seat next to the podium, and sat down next to the host He Yueyin. Of course he heard the laughter in the venue, and He Yueyin also glanced at him. The meaning in his eyes should be that he understood the situation just now.
The most innocent and confused person was Zhai Gong, who subconsciously looked towards Ronan.
Ronan nodded to him and asked him to concentrate on reading the manuscript. Then he slightly adjusted his sitting posture and looked around the entire conference room in a relatively natural posture.
The venue for this primary training class is the circular conference room on the bottom floor of the Shangding Building, which also occupies the largest area. This luxurious venue, which can easily accommodate thousands of people, is rarely used. The most recent time was during the turmoil of the Human-Faced Spider.
According to reports, the situation at that time was very bad. Among the ability users attending the meeting, nearly ten people had been eroded physically and mentally by human-faced spiders. After they were identified, they launched an attack on all participants, although no other personnel were killed in the end. There were casualties, but all the infected died.
Even if President Ouyang and His Majesty Emperor Wu were present, they could not stop this tragic accident. Therefore, manpower is sometimes poor, which shows that the spiritual level is complex and elusive.
Today, there is no trace of the tragic accident more than two months ago in the venue. It is densely packed with people, and the number easily exceeds 1,500 people. There are not so many awakened people in the entire Xia City. In fact, awakened people do not make up the majority here, and many of them are "peripheral members" like Zhai Gong.
This is where this primary training class is different from the previous ones. Its training scope has been expanded, and it is no longer directed to those who have just started awakening, but also extends invitations to those who are expected to awaken but have not yet awakened, or those who have the ability to awaken and have the possibility of awakening.
There are 600,000 capable people in the world, and the only ones who can truly enter the main circle of the inner world are 70,000 awakened ones. There are eighty-eight large metropolitan areas, each with a population ranging from thousands to hundreds. The remaining more than 500,000 people are the outer circle. On average, there are five to six thousand people in each city. The vast majority of these five to six thousand people have certain abilities inexplicably, but do not have a complete system of practice. By virtue of their special abilities, a considerable number of them have become elites in all walks of life, but because they have failed to meet the standards of awakening, they cannot reach the edge of the main circle.
Some of these peripheral members are content with the status quo, but most still hope to go further. After all, when a "higher level" world is within reach, how can you be willing to not truly touch, get involved, and experience it?
Zhai Gong is a typical peripheral member, who has wasted many years for an "awakening". Now that he has finally crossed that obstacle, perhaps his status and authority in the secular society have not changed, and even his own strength has not been completely transformed, but under the standards of the other world, he and other people in the outer circle have already had some differences. Fundamentally different.
Don’t people just want to find value in differences?
Before Ronan arrived, the atmosphere in the conference room was actually quite warm, which could be seen from the applause they gave Zhai Gong. This was originally a good beginning, but because of the accident brought by Ronan, it was a bit spoiled.
Most of the peripheral members cannot enter the main circle of the inner world. They cannot use the advanced functions of Lingbo, and they do not have member accounts of the esper association. But there are always some bad guys in the main circle who will reveal some information within the circle through various channels.
For example, many people know about the "Two Thousandth Sister", and many people go around and watch Zhan Ji's live broadcast. This kind of directional diffusion of information is very rapid. In just a few seconds after Ronan entered and took his seat, the relevant intelligence information had covered at least one-third of the people at the venue, and with the undisguised smiles of those The sound continues to spread.
When Zhan Ji got rid of Zhang Yingying's murderous gaze and entered quietly, she encountered many people who greeted her, gave her a thumbs up, or gave her a cold look. Because of this, she quickly locked in the best broadcasting position with the help of a group of good people. Fully incorporate the podium and venue environment into the lens.
At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room has exceeded the 20,000 mark, approaching the peak of the last time His Majesty the Emperor Wu fought against Jin Tong.
Zhan Ji was extremely satisfied. The Xiacheng branch still wanted to face the situation, and their relatively flexible measures gave her the opportunity to further expand her influence. She sat comfortably in the center facing the lecture hall. This better position was surrounded by awakened people, and some of them took the initiative to extend their hands to greet her:
"Sister Zhan Ji, the live broadcast just now was very beautiful."
Zhan Ji turned her head, and next to her was a rather handsome Western-style man. Although he had half-long hair and a single earring, he was strong and masculine, and most importantly, he looked familiar.
"Who are you?"
"Long Qi. A hard-working observer."
"Observer? It's really not like..." Zhan Ji responded casually, but a certain area deep in her brain suddenly moved, and some memories were turned up. At the same time, the real-time information of her behind-the-scenes team was also updated. The combination of the two sides revealed information that made her slightly open her eyes:
"Hey, how did you get in?"
"Oh, Sister Zhan Ji knows me?"
"You seem to be..." Zhan Ji hesitated and failed to go down immediately.
Long Qi was very curious and asked: "What is it?"
If you die, I won't be polite!
Zhan Ji raised her eyebrows: "You are an experimenter on a cooperative project between the Association and Quantum Company, right? A person with abilities who actively awakened, but voluntarily accepted the transformation to become a Burner. At that time, I wanted to do a special issue about you, but my boss turned me back. ”
Long Qi was still smiling: "Thank you boss for me, otherwise I might not be able to sit so comfortably now."
"But you are now... from Quantum Company." Zhan Ji's voice lowered a little in the second half of the sentence, but it didn't make any sense. Because the conversation between her and Long Qi was being watched simultaneously by more than 20,000 ability users.
There were already many nymphos licking the screen in the live broadcast room before. Of course, more people are condemning this bastard who took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
As soon as Zhan Ji's final words came out, "666666" appeared all over the screen, which was regarded as the final praise and accompanying wreath for this observer who had entered Longtan alone.
"Report, report, I want to report."
"I've contacted security."
"Friends around the seventh row directly in front of the lecture hall, please evacuate quickly."
"Damn, I saw him, he was only two rows away!"
There seems to be a bloody storm in the live broadcast room, but in reality, except for some people's curious glances, nothing else has happened yet.
In response, Long Qi smiled calmly: "We are all observers. Of course we have reported to the Xiacheng branch beforehand. And I also have membership of the association."
"Someone's smile really deserves a beating."
"The water is so deep here."
"Mom, I saw the conspiracy."
"What is the Xiacheng branch doing? This situation should be criticized!"
In a sense, beauties and handsome men are both troubles, especially when they have the gift of hatred.
Things have changed a bit. Not only in the live broadcast room, but also in the venue, there are some strange buzzing sounds. Now many people know that Quantum Company actually sent so-called observers deep into the hinterland to the circular conference room of Shang Ding Building... to watch the joke openly!
This is so unbearable!
Some die-hard members of the Xiacheng branch were already gearing up, ready to stand up and beat the fair-faced guy named Long Qi into a pig's head, and then kick him like a ball.
There was some chaos in the venue, so much so that He Yueyin, who was presiding over the meeting, coughed lightly, temporarily interrupted Zhai Gong's speech, and regained control of the venue: "The personnel participating in the training in the venue have been carefully considered and evaluated by the branch. An invitation has been sent. I hope everyone will abide by the order of the venue and respect the lecturers and speakers. Thank you."
He Yueyin's pointed words suppressed the atmosphere that was almost out of control, but made the discussion below even louder.
Long Qi seemed completely unaware that he had become the trigger, and still chatted with Zhan Ji, speaking freely: "Your live broadcast has given Chief He a headache. It is not easy for her to arrange for so many people to attend classes today."
It's great to have a guy who wants to die...
Zhan Ji keenly discovered an opportunity. If she could form a tacit understanding with this so-called observer and become a temporary partner, she might be able to dig out more hot spots. So she immediately cooperated:
"how?"
"Just like what Chief He just said, everyone in the venue has been carefully selected. Not to mention the gifts and so on, many people have considerable influence in Xia City. If our boss Luo can make a big impact, it will be very convenient in the future. If it's less, the shock power will increase. But now that it's like this, it seems that you have directly put him into hell mode... Do you need me to escort you out of Xia City later?"
"Haha, don't dare bother me."
Zhan Ji replied with a dry smile, but Zhan Ji understood something. Limited by tradition and the fear of the secular world, the inner world is generally a relatively closed circle, and many influences on the secular world require peripheral members to exert their influence.
In view of this situation, He Yueyin's plan is not wrong. But now these peripheral members, influenced by the live broadcast and other awakened people, already have preconceived ideas about Ronan. And from the perspective of Zhan Ji's aesthetics, Ronan's age and appearance are really not impressive.
Indeed, she adjusted the difficulty of the game to a very high level for the young man who was about to take the podium... How could he leave Xia City later?
Coincidentally, Zhan Ji happened to meet Ronan's gaze as he scanned the venue. Under the influence of the lighting, it was impossible to tell for a moment whether those eyes were empty, panicked, or confused.
"The patterns of light spots and vortexes in the spiritual world tend to be unified, and are generally negative, but have not yet formed a meaningful structure."
Ronan didn't pay much attention to certain key figures in the venue, but only determined the pattern of the spiritual world in the venue. After that, he ignored the changes in the outside world for the time being and concentrated on the lesson plan that was completely rejected by His Majesty Emperor Wu.
