Chapter 3 (1/2)

The normal visual range suddenly stretched very far.

In the zero field of view, Lia and the items in the room had shrunk in an instant, as if they were standing hundreds of meters away from each other.

Naturally, this was not the case. Zero was still sitting in his original position. It was just that the distance between him and his field of view had changed.

He was a little taken aback, and subconsciously tried to make sure of Lia.

As this thought appeared in his mind, the field of vision suddenly drew closer.

Leah's figure filled the view of zero, so clearly that it could even be seen through the collar of Nagase's shirt to the snowy peaks of Leah's mountain range.

Perhaps he didn't know that at the same time his vision changed, the Silver Beast pupil in the Golden Eye also changed.

When the animal pupil is vertical, the visual field is far away.

When the beast eyes were round, the vision would be brought closer.

However, the free change of the visual field is limited to the right eye of zero.

His left eye was completely normal, so the two different fields of vision made him dizzy.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, but in his mind, a voice kept asking, ”What's wrong with me?”

Lia saw the change in the Golden Eye and asked happily, ”How is it? Do you feel something strange?”

Zero opened his eyes. The silver beast eyes in his left eye had disappeared, turning into countless hair-thin silver threads that filled the edges of his pupils.

He shook his head and said, ”I've let you down. Everything is normal.”

Even he didn't know why there was such a change in the field of view, so he decided to keep it a secret, including from Leah.

”Forget it, you only have a rather pretty eye.”

Lia was a little disappointed, but very soon, the young girl regained her vigor.

She finished her meal and said, ”You take a rest. I'll go prepare the identification device.”

Zero nodded and watched her push the door open and leave.

He knew that the identification device had something to do with what Old Jack had described as ”ability appraisal.” Leah had mentioned ”Adept” and ”Evolution Point,” which was a new term for zeros.

At least in his memory, there was no such thing.

His brain was like a high-precision computer that was quickly operating. He analyzed and classified all the information he received after waking up, and finally came to a conclusion.

”Is it evolution?”

Zero muttered softly to himself. He had a rudimentary conception of the world from what he had seen and heard.

After what they call the Cataclysm, the genes of life have changed dramatically.

Some of these genes are so mutated that they produce all sorts of monsters.

A small percentage of the genes, however, showed signs of evolution, and so there were the Adepts and the Evolved Points.

Adepts were supposed to be the new humans. However, due to the lack of information, it was impossible to figure out where they were coming from.

Now, Old Jack had asked Lea to do a competency check on him.

In other words, Old Jack suspected he was an Adept.

The basis of his suspicions should be related to his right eye.

With that thought in mind, Zero stood up, using the bottom of the aluminum plate as a mirror, and raised it in front of his face.

The dark black pupil was completely different from the gold pupil. This caused Zero himself to be slightly stunned.

Then he smiled wryly. It was no wonder that Old Jack had such an elegant imagination.

No matter who it was, they couldn't be related to normal people.

Zero thought.

”The instrument is ready. You can come over here. What are you doing?”

Leah pushed the door open and came in. She was curious as to what Zero was doing with the plate.

Zero put down the plate and shook his head.

Leah didn't pursue the matter. She waved Zero into the next room.

It was a laboratory like room.

All sorts of test tubes and utensils were placed in the room. There was even an operating table.

There were bloodstains on the operating table, and he didn't know what had been lying there.

In one corner of the lab, a machine similar to an old magnetic resonance device was being powered on.

Leah worked at the machine in a way that no one could understand, but it was easy to see that the machine was an appraiser.

”Even though grandpa didn't know where I got the old model identification device, the only thing that can be appraised is the ability below the Third Order and the basic body comprehensive index.”

But I think it should be enough for you.

No matter what, you don't look like a powerhouse of the third step or above, right? ”

Her hands flying, Leigh worked at the console.

Lingcun was lost in thought. This pair of hands shouldn't be manipulating an ability appraisal instrument, but rather playing intoxicating piano music on the big stage.

”Hey, come over here.”

Leah's voice broke the illusion of zero, and the girl pointed to the platform at the entrance of the instrument. ”Here, you lie on top of this.”

Zero nodded and went over to lie down.

Old Jack came in, too, and stood beside Leah. He gave her a cold look, but said nothing.
