Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao also stopped bickering and looked at Li Xiaoyin in surprise.
“Don’t you believe me?” Li Xiaoyin raised her eyebrows.
Xu Lingyun pondered for a few seconds before raising his hand to touch Li Xiaoyin’s forehead. “Do you have a fever?”
“Go touch your balls.” Li Xiaoyin slapped his hand away angrily.
Zhang Xiao was shocked. “Well, this news is too sudden. I wasn’t prepared at all…”
Zhou Jing scratched his forehead. “I’m a little surprised… but I believe it.”
Li Xiaoyin immediately beamed with joy and slammed the table.
“It’s still my Jingjing who trusts me the most!”
“Don’t always call me that. It feels strange…”
Zhou Jing was helpless.
This news indeed shocked him, but it was not to the extent that he did not believe it. After all, something even more magical had technically happened to him.
Therefore, Zhou Jing’s acceptance of such matters was unprecedentedly strong. Even if the Interstellar Joint Government were to announce its dissolution tomorrow, he felt that he would still be able to take it with the calm eyes of a dead fish.
However, he had to ask in detail what was going on…
Before the three of them could ask, Li Xiaoyin openly explained everything.
“I don’t remember the date, but a few days ago, I woke up early in the morning and inexplicably obtained superpowers. I almost blew up the house and attracted the people from the Supers Bureau. They said that I had awakened and lost control. Then, they dragged me to do a test and asked me to register as a Super. It was only yesterday that I got my official ID… Let me show you.”
Li Xiaoyin took out a tattered wallet covered in cute stickers from her pocket. There was a photo of four people within, and they all had childish looks.
She took out a black card with silver words on it from her wallet and slapped it on the table. Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao leaned over to take a look curiously.
Zhou Jing also took a look and compared it to the Super ID he had found online.
Hmm… this looks like a very legitimate form of identification. There’s a name, date of birth, registration time, and a photo with the logo of the Supers Bureau in the background.
It was not a fake identification.
The Supers Bureau was officially known as the “Superpower Management and Control Bureau.” It was the direct agency of the Interstellar Joint Government. Its responsibility was to manage the Supers of the entire civilization and resolve the problems of losing control of the various superpowers.
Be it awakening or mutation, registering in this organization would officially certify Supers. They would then get different treatment, rights, subsidies, and so on.
In the various member states, there were branches of the Supers Bureau to facilitate the management of Supers of various nationalities.
In this current era, Supers were not rare. Ordinary people could see them displaying their might in the Super League or follow them on social media as they shared their lives online. However, there were very few opportunities to come into contact with them personally in life. Supers were a relatively closed ecological circle.
To commoners, the world of Supers was separated by a layer of gauze. They could see it vaguely, but it was difficult to touch. When Supers did not appear in the public eye, it was difficult for ordinary people to know what they were doing.
The information I’ve learned about Supers so far is all gathered from the Internet. I can’t find some deep-level things. Perhaps I can ask Xiaoyin…
Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat.
Only those who had personally experienced the social ecology of the Supers would be able to completely understand it. He originally never had the means to find out, but now, there was someone who knew about it besides him… Although she was still a newbie at the moment.
Speaking of which, he was still working hard to become a Super, but Li Xiaoyin had naturally awakened and directly became a Super… But Zhou Jing did not have any other emotions and was calm.
He already had Astral Travel with unfathomable potential, so he didn’t need to be jealous.
Besides, he was also happy for his childhood friend.
Among the four of them, Zhang Xiao’s family background was the best. His family owned a company. Although he was not very popular with his family and was typically marginalized, he did not lack anything.
On the other hand, although Xu Lingyun’s background was bumpy, in terms of misery, Li Xiaoyin was the true heavyweight.
Li Xiaoyin was a real orphan who had no parents. She grew up in the orphanage, and when she reached the age of admission, she entered the school in a daze. However, there were always ignorant brats who formed groups to bully her.
They even mocked her for having no parents and usually hid her school bag between classes, throwing it into the men’s toilet and even tearing up her textbooks that were filled with learning notes.
However, even though she had a miserable background and had to face all kinds of difficulties, Li Xiaoyin was not affected. She faced everything with a smile and developed a forthright and cheerful personality.
… After all, there was nothing to be depressed about after beating up all the people who bullied her.
Especially the boy who tore her textbook. During class, Li Xiaoyin kicked the door open and barged into the classroom, dragging him all the way from his seat to the female bathroom. Amidst the boy’s heart-wrenching cries, she gave him a “friendly lecture,” making him reflect on his mistakes and feel so ashamed that he did not return to school for half a month.
Li Xiaoyin grew up in this way. She had always lived alone and was not financially well-off as well.
Now that she had become a Super, she no longer had to worry about her livelihood in the future. Just the allowance from the Supers Bureau was enough for her to live comfortably. It was many times better than now. She had changed her fate. Zhou Jing was indeed happy for her.
At this moment, Xu Lingyun suddenly pointed at a column on the document and asked curiously.
“Eh? How come this says that you’re only a Preparatory Super?”
“That’s right. I haven’t taken the test yet. Of course I’m considered as Preparatory.”
