When Zhan Yan logged onto the chaofan forum again, he realized his private inbox had been stuffed full by Administrator Lingyu.

The other party was frantically asking what was going on with his network-type ability.

Hmm? He remembered he only asked how network-type superpowered individuals utilized their supernatural power; he didn’t say he could use network-type supernatural power. How did Administrator Lingyu know?

He scrolled through the gossip threads. Oh, it turned out that when he was experimenting with the information stream, Nie Yu happened to be hanging around the forum using her ability, and she saw him.

After Nie Yu discovered this, she was extremely shocked. She went to find their Deputy Bureau Chief, Ning Xi, while also contacting Approaching Science. However, Zhan Yan was attracted by the gossip threads about Ghost King Lin Yuan and Deep Shadow, and hadn’t come online.

Ning Xi listened to the siblings Nie Ling and Nie Yu finish explaining the whole process, and started flipping through materials.

“The network-type is a branch of the information-type. There have been cases before where several branch supernatural powers under one major category awakened. However, supernatural powers awakened this way are usually relatively weak.”

“There have also been cases of secondary awakening of supernatural powers. One is receiving irregular extreme stimulation, which easily causes irreversible future troubles. The other is when the primary supernatural power reaches a certain level, stimulating the awakening of a secondary supernatural power. The secondary supernatural power awakened this way will also be relatively weak when it first awakens.”

Nie Yu’s eyes were wide and round as she uncontrollably started firing off like a machine gun: “Approaching Science’s network ability isn’t weak at all! He shuttles through the network like it’s play. I’ve never seen any network-type dare to let information flood into their consciousness like that. It’s simply unbelievable that his brain didn’t explode… Wait, he still hasn’t come online yet, could something have happened to him?!”

“He’s fine,” Ning Xi said. After knowing that Approaching Science had manifested a second supernatural power, he had found someone to confirm it through supernatural means. “Based on this process, it doesn’t seem like a newly awakened secondary supernatural power. It’s more like he already had the network-type ability all along, but only just discovered it now.”

Nie Yu was numb.

Originally, she thought Approaching Science and she weren’t on the same track. He could be as strong as he wanted, she wasn’t playing with him anyway. But as it turned out, he had merged into her lane now!

His information-type ability was super strong, almost unaffected by information pollution, and now he could freely enter the network world!

She felt her abilities were completely overshadowed.

Nie Yu was despondent.

Wuwuwu, how could there be someone hacking like this!

Ning Xi rubbed his chin thoughtfully: “Nie Yu, are you interested in being a teacher for Approaching Science?”

Nie Yu: “Huh?”

Ning Xi: “Approaching Science has just developed network-type abilities and his application is very unskilled; it’s exactly the time when he needs someone’s guidance. Take him as an apprentice, and from now on you’ll be his teacher.”

Nie Yu was tempted.

Hehe, Approaching Science becoming her apprentice… teaching an apprentice who was stronger than herself wouldn’t be bad either!

Nie Yu went to find Approaching Science with great anticipation.

Nie Ling watched helplessly as the Deputy Bureau Chief sweet-talked his sister into working with just a few words.

Approaching Science had just developed his network-type abilities and severely lacked experience. His sister was one of the top network-type superpowered individuals in the world, had undergone systematic learning at the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, and accumulated a massive amount of experience. Finding a teacher better than her was almost impossible.

Approaching Science had always cooperated pleasantly with them, so there was a high probability he would accept Nie Yu’s guidance. Wouldn’t this bring their relationship even closer?

Nie Ling still had some questions he wanted to ask the Deputy Bureau Chief. He was a research-oriented information-type, so his understanding of supernatural powers was a bit deeper than his sister Nie Yu’s. Therefore, he more keenly perceived some things that weren’t quite right.

“Deputy Bureau Chief, is there something strange about Approaching Science’s supernatural power?”

Ning Xi tapped his index finger lightly on the desk, a strand of un-tied white hair hanging before his eyes: “It’s not quite normal, but it might be a good thing.”

Nie Ling wanted to ask more, but Ning Xi smiled at him: “Alright, no need to worry about this. Go get busy.”

Nie Ling had no choice but to leave. Thinking of the Deputy Bureau Chief’s strange smile before he left, he felt even more puzzled.

He couldn’t help but feel the Deputy Bureau Chief was hiding some wicked intentions!

On the other end, the moment Zhan Yan came online on the forum, Nie Yu discovered him. She started rapidly firing off messages to Approaching Science again.

Administrator Lingyu: [How is it? You’re still unskilled with your newly developed network-type ability, right?]

Administrator Lingyu: [Do you need me to give you some pointers~]

Administrator Lingyu: [Let me tell you, in this network-type field, it’s impossible for you to find a better teacher than me!]

Administrator Lingyu: [As long as you’re willing to call me Master, I’ll teach you for free, how about it, how about it~]

Approaching Science: [Actually, my relationship with Wan Shitong is pretty good.]

Zhan Yan felt he wasn’t spouting nonsense either.

Although he and Wan Shitong had never directly contacted each other, they were both familiar with Deep Shadow! Based on his relationship with Deep Shadow, asking him for a favor to contact Wan Shitong wouldn’t be a big deal, right?

After contacting Wan Shitong, in exchange for keeping the secret of a certain game NPC for him, having him teach the application of network-type supernatural power wouldn’t be a big problem, right?

Nie Yu: …

How did Approaching Science also have connections with Wan Shitong!

Among network-type superpowered individuals, she was confident that those who could match her numbered no more than the fingers on one hand, and as it happened, Wan Shitong was one of them.

Ah! No, no, no!

She couldn’t let a potential stock like Approaching Science run off to someone else!

Administrator Lingyu: [Wan Shitong?]

Administrator Lingyu: [He is quite impressive, but he’s not suitable for teaching.]

Administrator Lingyu: [I’ve seen his style; it’s very wild. You can tell at a glance it’s a style forged from Infinite.]

Administrator Lingyu: [That kind of wild path purely tempered through danger makes it very hard to take on apprentices. He wouldn’t teach well, and it’s easily dangerous.]

Administrator Lingyu: [Unlike me, I hold the accumulated experience of countless seniors in the Bureau.]

Administrator Lingyu: [Learning from me means standing on the shoulders of giants!]

Approaching Science: [Uh-huh.]

Administrator Lingyu: [So did you understand or not?]

Administrator Lingyu: [I am much more suitable than him.]

Administrator Lingyu: [His strength isn’t any greater than mine either.]

Approaching Science: [Uh-huh.]

After wasting her breath for ages, Approaching Science just gave her an “Uh-huh”.

Nie Yu: …

Why was Approaching Science so impenetrable?

Nie Yu gritted her teeth.

Administrator Lingyu: [Actually, you don’t have to call me Master.]

Approaching Science: [Thank you so much!]

Approaching Science: [When do we start?]

Approaching Science: [I can do it right now.]

Nie Yu: …

Hmph!

She knew Approaching Science just didn’t want to call her Master!

Forget it, forget it.

Even without a nominal master-apprentice title, having a de facto one was fine too.

Administrator Lingyu: [[File] [File] [File]]

Administrator Lingyu: [Before your consciousness enters the network world, finish reading these first.]

Administrator Lingyu: [Especially the safety rules!]

Administrator Lingyu: [You’re not allowed to enter the network until you’ve memorized them all!]

Administrator Lingyu: [Your last operation could literally be compiled into a manual of incorrect case demonstrations.]

Administrator Lingyu: [Every action was very dangerous!]

Administrator Lingyu: [How is your condition after getting off the network? Do you feel any discomfort?]

Administrator Lingyu: [If your condition is bad, you must speak up. I know some methods to alleviate the aftereffects.]

Administrator Lingyu: [This is a very serious matter. Do you know how many network-types have accidentally fried their brains?]

Zhan Yan was flipping through the safety rules. Probably afraid that readers wouldn’t take the rules seriously, the person who compiled this manual attached cases of severe consequences for failing to follow each rule. Zhan Yan saw two cases of people turning into vegetables from information impact, and others who were impacted into fools.

…This really scared him.

Although his father was the Chongming Demon King and his mother was the Tianshi, neither of these two big shots were network-types. The amulets placed on him might not necessarily have the ability to fish a person’s consciousness out of the network.

If he accidentally got impacted into a fool… even if the healing-type big shots his parents knew could treat him, it was hard to say how much he could recover.

Seeing Nie Yu ask about his condition after logging off, Zhan Yan quickly provided it.

Approaching Science: [I felt like my brain was stuffed with a bunch of information, finding it a bit hard to turn its gears.]

Approaching Science: [Later, after I finished organizing those messages one by one, I finally felt better.]

Administrator Lingyu: [How long did you spend organizing the messages?]

Approaching Science: [About half an hour.]

Administrator Lingyu: [And then?]

Approaching Science: [And then what?]

Administrator Lingyu: [Nothing else?]

Approaching Science: [Nothing.]

Nie Yu: …

Ahhh, so jealous, so jealous! What kind of talent was this!

Not only was his endurance against the impact of information super strong, but he had also comprehended the best processing method by himself! And he finished organizing it in just half an hour!

Approaching Science was still urging her for the methods to alleviate aftereffects.

Administrator Lingyu: [There are none.]

Administrator Lingyu: [You comprehended it yourself.]

Administrator Lingyu: [You comprehended it very well, very correctly.]

Zhan Yan wasn’t too reassured.

Approaching Science: [You’re not saying the opposite on purpose, right?]

Administrator Lingyu: [It’s in “Exercise Methods for Self-Alleviation and Treatment of Network-Types After Sustaining Trauma”, Chapter 3, page 45.]

Administrator Lingyu: [Read the books yourself first. Come find me when you’re done.]

Administrator Lingyu: [I’m logging off.]

Nie Yu logged off to go bite her handkerchief.

Zhan Yan seriously started reading the books.

Of the three books, one was the safety rules, one was for recovery exercises, and the other taught how to act within the network world.

Zhan Yan planned to memorize these three books before Nie Yu led him into the network to practice.

Although the system’s backup function allowed him to flip through a book once and then re-read it in his mind anytime, anywhere, if he didn’t make the content his own, he definitely wouldn’t be able to react in time when he needed to apply it.

He had to admit, having someone give pointers was great. After practicing a few times with Nie Yu, Zhan Yan improved rapidly.

Because he was addicted to surfing the network, when Administrator Luo Wang came looking for him for a task, Zhan Yan saw that the task difficulty wasn’t high, so he turned around and recommended other information-types from the gossip group to Luo Wang.

Administrator Luo Wang: [He refused.]

Chongming Demon King: [Why?]

This task was posted by Zhan Yunkai. The task difficulty wasn’t high, but the Wan Yao Alliance had been busy recently, and there were already few demons in the alliance skilled in information-types; at this moment, none of them could spare any time. Zhan Yunkai then thought of Approaching Science.

Approaching Science had never refused his tasks before!

Zhan Yunkai and Luo Wang both thought in a certain direction.

Luo Wang ran over to ask Administrator Lingyu.

Administrator Lingyu: [Approaching Science? Yeah, he’s been helping me out lately and doesn’t really have time for other things.]

Hehe, there was no way she would say Approaching Science gained network-type abilities. Let the Wan Yao Alliance think Approaching Science favored them!

Luo Wang explained this situation to Zhan Yunkai.

Zhan Yunkai was annoyed.

In the past, Approaching Science always took the initiative to come over and volunteer his help for free. What did the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau have to be smug about?!

Zhan Yunkai decided to connect emotionally with his little fan.

After Zhan Yan received the private message his dad sent using his Chongming Demon King persona, he went on the Gossip System to search and realized that the previous task was posted by his dad.

Aiya, if he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have slacked off.

Even while wearing a persona, his dad was very gentle to him, asking if his recent busyness was due to some difficulties, and saying he could ask for help if needed. As they chatted, the topic drifted to the Tianshi.

Zhan Yan’s spirits were instantly lifted. This was an opportunity to increase the favorability between his parents’ personas!

So, he praised the Tianshi extensively.

Zhan Yunkai’s train of thought was very clear. Previously, the little fan obviously had a higher favorability towards their Wan Yao Alliance; the sudden shift halfway to getting close to the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau started from when he became a fan of the Tianshi.

He needed to probe the enemy’s situation!

The enemy’s situation wasn’t very wonderful. Zhan Yunkai looked at Approaching Science’s extensive praise for the Tianshi and grew annoyed.

The Tianshi was very impressive, but was she as perfect as he said? Blowing it up like she was peerless in heaven and earth, was he himself not good? He felt like his status in his little fan’s heart had been outshone!

Chongming Demon King: [The Tianshi cultivates thunder techniques.]

Approaching Science: [Right! Very impressive thunder techniques!]

Chongming Demon King: [Thunder techniques belong to the resolute and upright.]

Approaching Science: [Right! The Tianshi is also a very resolute and upright person!]

Chongming Demon King: [Therefore, those who cultivate thunder techniques are usually not very easy to approach.]

Zhan Yan: ?

He slowly began to realize something was wrong.

Chongming Demon King: [Look at those who cultivate thunder techniques. They often have surplus majesty but lack amiability, are extremely demanding of others, and mostly take on the role of managing punishments in their sects, making them prone to being overly harsh and leaning towards inflexibility.]

Chongming Demon King: [Although the Tianshi wears a mask year-round, hiding her appearance, I fear she is also a stern-looking person.]

Zhan Yan: ???

Dad! Quickly retract it, quickly retract it!

I will give you one more chance to rephrase that!
