Chapter 1065: Chapter 929: Electronic Cricket Fighting

In dealing with the situation involving the H1 Department and Lu Xiang, the United Government finally demonstrated a proper level of secrecy, keeping any information from leaking while the two returned to the Seventeenth Region and took a connecting flight to the First Region.

Discussions about the Oasis incident remained fervent; the sudden outbreak of the pandemic and the week of reversed time had brought unusual changes to everyone’s lives, making them aware of a world beyond their understanding. The two individuals who dueled in Lute City’s square had clearly surpassed the category of Psychics as commonly perceived by the populace.

Having collected 149 shards and ascended to the upper world through his own power, "Corruption" became the most vicious and despair-inducing criminal in history. His ability could instantly sweep a plague across the entire Oasis, and during the square Ceremony, he even claimed he would usher in a new era to this world.

Just when everyone was unable to imagine how to defeat this formidable enemy who had completed the god-making Ceremony, "Corruption" was instantly killed in the following confrontation.

Therefore, the most active people on the internet these days were the power-level enthusiasts.

The theory that the Six Stars rescuer was the strongest in the world no longer held water. They believed that if an evenly matched battle had broken out in Lute City, "Corruption" should have demonstrated more incredible uses of his abilities. Meanwhile, the common perception of the Six Stars rescuers’ power was that at full strength, they could only destroy cities.

Even among the Six Stars rescuers capable of satisfying this condition, there were very few.

The only one who truly had a record of destroying a city was the military technology ace "Wild Bone." Although military technology never disclosed detailed information about "Wild Bone," it was common knowledge that the destruction of the Sixth Nation’s cities a few years ago had much to do with "Wild Bone."

And the large-scale Destruction "Wild Bone" caused relied on space-based weaponry, which in the eyes of the power-level enthusiasts, should be considered the power of technology.

The more they analyzed, the more it felt like ants crawling incessantly in their hearts.

With the end of the Oasis incident, the strength of "Corruption" fell completely into a Schrödinger’s cat-like state. How strong was he after completing the god-making Ceremony? Besides spreading the pandemic, what other applications of his abilities had he developed?

And all this gave rise to a new question.

How strong was Song Lan, who reversed the entire world’s time by a week and effortlessly ended the battle with "Corruption" in a matter of seconds?

Every post with this kind of title sparked discussions that reached hundreds or even thousands of comments.

This made Song Lan wonder if the United Government’s workers were not as busy as he imagined.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Xiang looked curiously at Song Lan’s tablet, "Zero Region Power Level Discussion Exchange? What’s this?"

"It’s a group I joined before, dedicated to discussing the power levels designated by the United Government."

This was also one of Song Lan’s hobbies; whenever he saw the talented individuals in the group passionately discussing and presenting rigorous data analysis, it felt to him like the pleasure of electronic insect fighting.

However, since he joined the group, he had always been lurking, never expressing any opinion.

Last night, the group admin updated the power ranking, introducing for the first time a new tier using "Corruption" as a standard measure of power.

This tier currently only includes "Corruption;" as for him, he was classified as "beyond ranking."

The so-called beyond ranking meant lacking substantiated discussion points; to avoid the discussions turning into a competition of wild hypothesis that wasted time, they were generally discouraged within the group.

"The intensity to destroy nations or even the world?"

Lu Xiang took a glance at the list and became interested as well.

"Some also doubted whether ’Corruption’s’ claim about spreading the pandemic across the world to bring a new era was just bluster, so conservatively, the intensity of this tier was set as national level. After all, besides him, no one else has been categorized within this class yet."

As a fan of watching electronic insect fights, Song Lan explained to Lu Xiang, "They started at 0:30 last night discussing whether ’Corruption’ could really destroy the world or not, and it lasted all night."

Ultimately, neither side could convince the other, and they settled for a vague definition.

"Hold on a second."

Lu Xiang’s expression changed, "Didn’t you claim you had to catch a flight today, and that you went to sleep at ten? Weren’t you secretly playing with your phone under the covers?"

"No," Song Lan’s expression stiffened, "I only scrolled through the chat history after boarding the plane."

This was one of the drawbacks of being a spectator of electronic insect fights.

The heated back-and-forth discussion and hiding under the covers with no light coming in made him lose track of time, and before he knew it, it was already daylight outside.

"Really?"

Lu Xiang did not press further; she never wasted words on matters that could not be proven.

The real course of action was to quietly take note of this, to spring a surprise check without warning in the future.

The criteria for judgment were simple.

She stealthily logged in with her work alias and requested to join the chat group.

This alias had been used for phishing online. At least three major illegal drug trafficking gangs in the Seventeenth Region had fallen prey to this alias, but it had been neglected for a while since she met Song Lan.
