Chapter 209 Mother
Jiang Xing narrowed his eyes.
She was quite confident in her skills.
Jiang Xingni went through all the people in the lower city—everyone who could capture her gaze—but in the end, she couldn't find any power that matched that gaze.
Jiang Xingni has lived here for so many years. If she had no understanding of the people in the lower city after all this time, then she would have truly lived in vain.
"What's wrong?" the system asked, completely bewildered.
It could detect Jiang Xingni's sudden surge of alertness, but the system didn't know exactly what Jiang Xingni had noticed.
Jiang Xingni simply shook his head.
The gaze had vanished before she could look back.
Jiang Xingni's vigilance suddenly rose to its maximum.
She raised her head, not looking around too conspicuously, but carefully concealing her vision with the help of her mask, and then cautiously peering through the glass and windows above the street—anywhere that could reflect light.
There was no one in sight.
Jiang Xing smiled.
Aside from being amused by the situation, it also stirred up my competitive spirit to some extent.
Jiang Xingni is certainly competitive.
It's just that it's rarely shown up normally.
If she didn't have a competitive spirit, she wouldn't have reacted by trying to ride on the popularity of the main characters and becoming the main character herself to replace Xiao Jiming the moment she was bound to the system.
The reasons that are rarely revealed are even more commonplace—there's no need for them.
Although the main characters can be called young geniuses, Jiang Xingni believes that they each have their own shortcomings, and there is no need for Jiang Xingni to suppress them.
If a war were to break out one day, Jiang Xingni would have a way to deal with them.
The only person who could make her feel any sense of crisis, Xie Yungui, was also dealt with by Jiang Xingni with a single sentence.
For Jiang Xingni, the title of "young genius" carries more weight because of his youth.
Because they are young, they naturally carry an indomitable spirit and a reckless courage, just waiting for the day they will suffer a crushing defeat. At the same time, they are also easily exposed and exposed.
Now, Jiang Xingni's competitive spirit has truly been ignited.
Beneath the mask, her eyes shone with a golden light, revealing the trajectory of her supernatural abilities to Jiang Xingni.
Following the traces of the supernatural power, Jiang Xingni's gaze, reflected in the windowpane, landed on a group of seemingly ordinary people.
Aside from the traces of a superhuman… Jiang Xingni narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, her gaze carrying a hint of something she didn’t quite understand.
If one were to search for a similar element among the people Jiang Xingni has met, it would probably be the blend of elements found between those from Taixu Academy and the official personnel he has encountered—police officers, military personnel, civil servants, and the like.
...People from official organizations?
Isn't Taixu Academy just an official institution?
Jiang Xingni raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.
Just now, a VOID appeared as the villain, and now what new, unknown organization is about to emerge?
Beneath the veil, the world of those with superpowers is undeniably more fascinating than it seems.
She kept this new organization in mind. Out of some curiosity, Jiang Xingni chuckled to herself and then secretly named the organization "Dragon Group" according to her own ideas.
How could such an indispensable organization in urban fantasy novels be left out?
It's okay if the screenwriter doesn't give an organization such a name; Jiang Xingni will come up with one himself.
*
She avoided the area that these people's supernatural abilities could detect.
Jiang Xingni initially thought they might be members of the supernatural world, but after observing them more closely, he became somewhat hesitant.
—There aren't many people with superpowers among this group.
There are certainly people with superpowers, but compared to another color—which Jiang Xingni arbitrarily named the organization's color—they are overshadowed.
Obvious.
Those with superpowers were only a minority among their group.
While avoiding the group's gaze, she hurried towards her home, and at the same time, she took the time to wash up and figure out how many people were in their group.
Five people.
Only two people are superhumans.
This proportion is pitifully small.
No formal team would arrange things this way behind the scenes.
It's true that ordinary people without superpowers will participate in the behind-the-scenes battles between superpowered individuals and monsters, but the majority of those involved are superpowered individuals.
Ordinary people are mostly just support or backup healers.
No team would want an ordinary person without superpowers to join them, not even the protagonist of the comic, not even Xiao Jiming and Jiang Xingni's own team.
Jiang Xingni had no doubt that if the screenwriter really arranged for such a person to join the team, he would only end up at the bottom of the popularity rankings.
They'll be criticized as a burden, a publicity stunt, and the screenwriter will need to put in more effort to create such a character.
Jiang Xingni had only been in contact with the veil for a little over a month, and this kind of discrimination was already commonplace.
And now, an organization's field team is using this arrangement.
People with superpowers are a minority; ordinary people make up the majority.
Jiang Xingni began to take an interest.
It can't be because they don't have many superhumans in their organization, right? That's impossible, this is a government-affiliated official organization.
Having won the contest on his own, Jiang Xingni, hidden beneath his cloak, moved with a noticeably lighter pace.
Self-importance and arrogance are common problems at this age, and Jiang Xingni fully admits this—she herself is not immune to such flaws.
She has always hated anyone who could surpass her; ever since school, she has hated anyone taking away her first place.
However, there weren't many people in the Fourth Middle School who Jiang Xingni took seriously and considered as true rivals.
There were such people in the competition, but now they've almost lost contact. After all, Jiang Xingni has long since gone down a completely different path, and she no longer sees those people as her competitors.
Jiang Xingni has always lived up to her reputation as a genius. People can only make her competitive and ambitious, but no one can make her willingly admit that she is inferior—except for her mother.
Her thoughts suddenly drifted away.
Jiang Xingni actually has very few memories of her mother.
However, Jiang Xingni still remembers that his mother was an absolute genius.
It wasn't about supernatural abilities—her mother was just an ordinary person—but rather about the realm of ordinary people.
Ji Hanzhang—Jiang Xingni's biological mother—entered university at the young age of fourteen and continued her studies until she became a national-level researcher at the age of twenty-six.
