"Oh, Team Leader Zhang, hello. I have indeed awakened and even have several superpowers. I came here today to wait for you guys. I want to talk to you about some things." Mo Chen didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
"Oh? What is it?" Although the middle-aged man really wanted to ask Mo Chen about his superpowers, he held back out of politeness.
"I previously posted a few things online, all about awakening, but you've blocked them all. I hope you can restore them," Mo Chen said calmly.
"Did you post that?"
"Yes, I posted it."
"What I want to ask is, how do you know about the method of awakening, the method of seizing the power of dark energy particles, and the star maps and such?" Team Leader Zhang bombarded him with a barrage of questions. He desperately wanted to know.
"I cannot disclose that," Mo Chen replied.
"Okay…" Zhang Hongguo thought for a moment and then asked, "Then… are those things you mentioned in your post, like authority and star charts, real?" Since Mo Chen didn't want to reveal the source, he didn't intend to press the matter. Mo Chen was the only one who could explain these things clearly, and he dared not antagonize him.
"Of course it's true." Mo Chen nodded and said, "I hope you can unblock that post so that people all over the country can learn from it…"
"Impossible!" Zhang Hongguo interrupted Mo Chen, saying, "If that were the case, things would be completely chaotic. Of the ten awakened individuals we've identified so far, one is dead, one is crippled, and seven are seriously injured. If the entire nation were to awaken, what would become of us?"
"Team Leader Zhang, did you even read my post carefully? Once you've seized all the power, things won't go wrong so easily," Mo Chen explained.
"That won't work either. If everyone had superpowers like you, wouldn't it be complete chaos?" Zhang Hongguo shook his head violently, as if he were seeing a terrifying scene. This is a matter of principle.
"Team Leader Zhang, times have changed. The Three-Seven Breathing Method isn't anything special. There are many people in this world who can guess it correctly, and many more will awaken eventually. You can't stop them…"
"That's for later, but right now we need to buy time. May I ask you why you want to go public?" Zhang Hongguo asked, puzzled. He couldn't understand why Mo Chen was doing this. Is it not good to be the only one with superpowers? Why bother with this whole 'national awakening' thing? It's utterly absurd.
"Team Leader Zhang, I have already published the awakening method on foreign websites. The awakening period is only 24 hours. By then, when there are so many superpowered people abroad and awakening is everywhere, there will still be very few people awakening in our country. We will fall behind." Mo Chen spoke off the cuff; of course, he hadn't made it public overseas yet. He was just making a snide remark to Zhang Hongguo.
"You! How could you do this?" Zhang Hongguo's face turned red as he glared at Mo Chen. If there were a feasible plan to capture him, he would have arrested him right now.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited. To express my love for my country, I've decided to offer you some paid assistance." Mo Chen quickly reassured them. He didn't want to ruin things, and he was still hoping for official help with publicity.
"What kind of help?" Zhang Hongguo, true to his old ways, took a deep breath and calmed himself down before asking.
"Ten million. Give me ten million, and I can let your Awakened Ones directly learn a law. What do you think?" Mo Chen dropped a bombshell, confident that the other party would agree.
"What did you say?" Not only was Zhang Hongguo excited, but even the young woman next to him was extremely excited, her hands trembling. Mo Chen glanced at the excited woman and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
Huh? Is this the Weibo celebrity "Lingmeng Zhidie"? So it turns out they recruited her through the Beijing Guoan team! That's incredibly efficient.
"You really can make an awakened person instantly learn superpowers?" Zhang Hongguo's angry face disappeared, and he instantly put on an amiable smile again.
"Yes!" Mo Chen nodded.
"Was it your ability to transform into flowers just now?" asked "Lingmeng Zhidie." Mo Chen could tell that this woman named Lingmeng Zhidie was quite interested in the flower-changing technique. Unfortunately, the phrase "Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers" had already been used.
Mo Chen shook his head. "It's new, but I don't know exactly what it is."
"Xiao Zhuang, don't speak yet…" Zhang Hongguo said, then looked at Mo Chen. "You… how did you manage to awaken superpowers in someone?" We are all awakened beings, so why do you have this privilege? Are you God's favorite son?
Zhuang Lingmeng obediently shut up.
"I've already said I can't tell you these things. You just need to know that I can do it. Think about it."
"Okay, let me think about it." Zhang Hongguo took out his phone, walked to the side, made a call, and began to report.
"Hey, you… what other superpowers do you have besides turning into flowers?" Zhuang Lingmeng saw her boss make a phone call and started trying to get closer to Mo Chen. She was very interested in him.
"Yeah, brother, that's amazing! How did you do that?" the young man who hadn't spoken until now asked excitedly. All those who awakened were either dead, crippled, or seriously injured. Someone like Mo Chen, who knew everything and possessed superpowers, was simply a treasure.
"Maybe I'm a genius." Mo Chen adopted the aloof and superior air of a hermit. It's basically just installing AC.
Zhuang Lingmeng: "…". I'm so angry, I really want to hit someone, but what he said seems to be true…
At this moment, Zhang Hongguo returned after finishing his report.
"Our leader has agreed. Give me a bank account number, and we'll transfer the money to you right away," Zhang Hongguo said with a smile.
"Heh!" Mo Chen pointed at himself. "Do I look like an idiot to you?"
"Hehe, how could you be a fool, brother? Just because you're the first to awaken superpowers, you're a genius among geniuses. I'll bring you the money right away, just a moment." Zhang Hongguo chuckled and quickly flattered him. He had initially thought the other party might carelessly give a bank account number so they could trace it back. Surprisingly, the other person was still quite intelligent.
"Hmm." Mo Chen was too lazy to argue with them.
