"Creation..." Yang Yuan was stirred.
"Yes, creation."
Chen Xianzhi sighed, "Conceptual Superpowers are the most mysterious, the most unreasonable, and almost completely unrelated to science, even transcending rules. Because the abilities of this system nearly all involve various data appearing in the mind, and the Awakened can manifest that data."
"How exactly do they manifest it?" Yang Yuan asked curiously.
Behind him, Zhao Jiayan couldn't help but glance at his back.
Chen Xianzhi, the advisor, sharply noticed Zhao Jiayan's small gesture and calmly said, "I once saw a Conceptual Superpower User who could conjure a virtual blueprint, and by placing materials into it, a high-tech item could be easily manufactured."
"Is there more?" Yang Yuan asked, eager to know what other Conceptual Superpower Users were like.
Director Jia Weixin, who had been left aside, watched the two's 'chatter' expressionlessly. Although he didn't interrupt, he was already anxious because the Safe Zone couldn't remain leaderless for long.
However—
Now hearing Yang Yuan inquiring about Conceptual Superpowers, he couldn't help but have a guess.
This guess made his heart beat slightly faster.
The reason his thirteenth team wasn't particularly valued by the alliance was the lack of exceptionally important talent, making it difficult to get support when asking for help.
If a Conceptual Superpower User were to appear in his thirteenth team, the alliance might send real experts for support, right?
Could this guy in front of him really be a Conceptual Superpower User?
Jia Weixin tried to remain calm, suppressing his anxiety, and patiently waited.
"There's another example."
Chen Xianzhi continued, "I once saw another Conceptual Superpower User; her ability was to create a 3D Printer. By inputting game blueprints into it, and providing materials, she could print any game item, all with the same effects as in the game, although the power was limited by her own level."
Yang Yuan's eyes lit up; this ability was quite interesting.
He already wanted to see those Conceptual Superpower Users for himself.
At the same time, the so-called 3D Printer ability gave him a flash of inspiration.
"Mr. Yang Yuan, I've answered your questions; now can you tell us about your ability?" Chen Xianzhi asked.
Both Jia Weixin and Leader Chen looked expectantly at Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I believe the three of you have already guessed. My ability belongs to the Conceptual System. As for the specifics, allow me to keep it a secret for now."
Instantly, the eyes of the three in front of him brightened.
Conceptual System!
As expected!
The person before them was truly a Conceptual Superpower User!
Before coming here, they had thought Yang Yuan was a 'Magnifying Glass' from the Rule System.
Conceptual Superpower Users are so rare that it hadn't even crossed their minds.
After all—
Out of three billion Awakened, there are only about ten Conceptual System users; one can imagine how rare this ability is.
Yang Yuan continued, "I know the three demands I mentioned before were somewhat excessive, but I believe I have the right to make such demands. Because I can create what the thirteenth team needs most."
He looked at Jia Weixin, "For example, Director Jia, could you tell me what the Safe Zone needs most right now? I can see if I can manufacture something useful for the current situation."
Upon hearing this, Jia Weixin unhesitatingly said, "Water is scarce. We have a Marvel that can lower the temperature at the cost of water, but it consumes a lot, and the underground here can't be dug through. The mysterious forces from the Ancient Ruins prevent us from accessing groundwater."
He stared intently at Yang Yuan and said, "If you can solve this problem, I can agree to your demands. However, the preceding terms also need adjustment. You can still source materials from the thirteenth team, and any material will be prioritized for you at cost price. But the finished products you create, we want to purchase at one percent of the current value. I know the cost of items made by conceptual systems is very low; you won't lose out. In this way, we can offer you relative absolute freedom: aside from emergencies, you can refuse orders without reason at any time."
One percent of the value of the finished product?
Zhao Jiayan frowned; wasn't this price a bit too much?
However, Yang Yuan remained calm.
He glanced at the large Firepower Flying Disc above him. What was one percent of its current value?
What if it were raised to level ten or even level eleven?
And how much was the prototype Firepower Flying Disc worth?
After just two seconds of thought, he nodded and said, "Then let me state my demands too..."
"You have more demands?" Jia Weixin frowned.
"Director Jia, please listen to me first."
Yang Yuan said, "I know there's a shortage of talent in the Safe Zone; my arms factory doesn't need to hire workers. I only need the thirteenth team to arrange people to help when I'm manufacturing items. I won't pay them wages; you'll have to figure that out yourselves."
Director Jia slightly frowned. After all, in some measure, workers are also a form of attachment, especially at this time. Workers can easily be used as subordinates.
If the other side doesn't even want this kind of attachment, it means they truly could leave at any time.
However, after thinking it over, he still nodded, "Okay."
To bind a powerful Superpower User, it takes more than just attachment; it includes rights, women, and more.
Yang Yuan continued, "These workers include all those who can be mobilized within the thirteenth team, excluding you, Director Jia—anyone including Leader Chen and military Superpower Users must prioritize helping me manufacture items when I need help."
Leader Chen couldn't help but give Yang Yuan a deep look; this guy had quite the ambition—to want to be his boss?
Director Jia nodded slightly, "Okay, but only for orders from the arms factory, and there can be no danger involved."
"Of course, I wouldn't have them do anything dangerous," Yang Yuan nodded with a smile.
"Old Chen, prepare the contract," Jia Weixin said. He sighed inwardly—plans can never keep up with changes. Almost none of the schemes he had in mind before coming here were used.
But this wasn't his fault; he never dared to think the other party might be a Conceptual Superpower User.
"Okay, Director," Chen Xianzhi was about to return to the aircraft to prepare the contract.
"No need," Yang Yuan said, "Right now, the contract probably wouldn't be binding, would it? Also, I'm wary of signing something like that casually, so please understand."
He didn't want to slip up due to carelessness.
After all, the strange abilities in this world are overwhelming.
Chen Xianzhi looked to Director Jia.
Jia Weixin slightly frowned, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "That's acceptable. I hope you will keep your promises and fulfill everything you've said."
"As long as you keep your promises, I will keep mine."
Yang Yuan smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Jiayan.
Zhao Jiayan hesitated but quickly realized what Yang Yuan meant, hurriedly turning into the Safe House to retrieve the box containing the level 10 cooling device.
Yang Yuan took the box and opened it.
Immediately, a gust of cold air spread out, enveloping everyone present.
"Hiss..."
"Why has the temperature dropped again?"
"What's inside?"
Jia Weixin and the other three were surprised, looking at the box in Yang Yuan's hand.
The eight bodyguards outside also felt the drop in temperature and couldn't help showing surprise.
Such a cool environment made them feel like they were dreaming because even in the Safe Zone, temperatures were in the fifties and sixties—still considered high.
But here, the temperature dropped to the teens; if they weren't strong Superpower Users, they would definitely feel cold.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yang Yuan smiled and took out the level 10 cooling device from the box.
