Chapter 7 The Meaning of Talent

The first night I worked in the "Yinjie" bar was not very pleasant. It was not that the working environment here was not good, but Ai Xue frequently gave me her eyes without hesitation, which led to many men not looking at me friendly. I was wondering if this was in school, would someone leave me a note for me to go to the back of the bathroom and wait?

Ai Xue seemed to have time and patience, and she sat at the bar with a glass of wine until the bar closed. In the middle, countless men and boys frequently came forward to meet him, but they were all stimulated away lukewarmly. Ai Xue's reaction to the man's chat made me even more sure that this girl definitely didn't look so cheerful and lively, but I felt that she was full of scheming.

"Hey, why do you know each other?" Fang Wenxiu, who stood in the corner with his hair covering one eye, asked softly beside me.

Gossip is truly a natural nature for women.

"I've met twice." My answer was more like talking to myself, "It seemed that there was no you here that night, and you were new here too?"

"I have been asking for leave in the past few days." Fang Wenxiu seemed to have a good impression of me and whispered, "It's so enviable for such a beautiful girl."

"Beauty is always a short-lived thing." I pretended to be noble and then flattered, "Actually, you are also very beautiful, don't you think?"

The one-eyed dragon girl smiled and shook her head: "I envy beautiful people, but I don't need to be beautiful myself. What I like is women."

I looked at the girl beside me in surprise, and finally said nothing. In this society, as long as other people's thoughts and actions will not cause harm to me, I should respect it.

The guests at the "Yinjie" bar at night were very quiet and there was no need to worry about greeting. It was not until after get off work that Ai Xue took out the money and pressed it under the wine glass, turned around and said to me, "Are you off work? Can you take me home?"

Before I could answer, I could hear the giggles from Fang Dingkun and two female colleagues behind me. Only Wu Tianming's face was still not very good. How could I disagree when I saw the expressions of these people?

"Let's go." I ran to the back and changed my clothes. I opened the door for Ai Xue and waved my hand like a demonstration at several colleagues.

There were almost no people on the street near two o'clock in the morning. After the neon lights of the bar were wiped out, there was almost no light in the alley behind Changsheng Street that could shine on us. Ai Xue and I walked slowly one after another, and suddenly we heard a vomiting sound behind us.

There is only one bar near the "Singing Realm". Drinking in the bar until you vomit is considered a skill. I didn't care much, but suddenly I heard Elsia say two words in my mind.

"careful."

Almost as Elsia issued a warning, a bottle of wine exploded beside me. Several young men with bad looks stood in the alley, blocking the road that was about to pass directly in front of me.

I turned my head and looked at Ai Xue, and she looked panicked.

"What do you mean?" Seeing that there were as many as six people on the other side, I pulled Ai Xue back a few steps - Ai Xue's arms were very slippery.

——Day! When is it? Why am I still like this pervert?

"It's not interesting. Go away, leave this sister..." A bald head with half a poisonous snake on his face smiled at me. I'm sure he smiled better than me.

I looked back at Ai Xue again. I had met Ai Xue several times, and I always thought she was a smart girl. At this time, Ai Xue's face was full of begging: "Cen, no, don't..."

For some reason, Ai Xue's expression was like a rock, hitting my already dead heart.

I closed my eyes and remembered the determination when Yingying left me.

When you are needed, girls are always the weakest and most adorable creature. When they are not needed?

Don’t think about it anymore, just need it!

Ai Xue and I met by chance, but we didn't know each other, and she hadn't done anything for me.

But I admire her smile very much, what should I do?

With my eyes closed, Elsia's figure flashed past me.

Opening my eyes, I did not gain any divine power about the goddess, but instead confidence and determination surged out!

Stepping forward, I stood between Ai Xue and the bald tattooed faces.

"Sorry, I didn't understand what you mean!"

The bald man with tattoos almost spit on my face.

"Fuck, this kid is looking for death! Brothers, please do him!"

Yes, I usually don’t dare to fight, but this does not mean I can’t fight. Seeing a group of people rushing over with their arms and kicking their legs, I hesitated without hesitation. I rushed towards the bald tattooed face closest to me, and hugged him by the neck!

The fists and feet fell on me like raindrops, and I didn't care and hit the bridge of my tattooed nose!

I don’t know how many hands pulled my hair and back, but the few people put together a huge force to pull me away almost leaving my hand holding my tattooed face.

I didn't care about this and still hit the tattooed nose!

I was frightened by my toughness, and my bald tattooed face was hit by me twice, and blood dripping from my face.

At this time, the power behind me was finally greater than my will. I was pulled back a few steps. I don’t know who kicked me in the waist behind me. In the severe pain, I staggered to the ground.

There will be no chance to get up next, and countless feet are stepping on my head and back. The pain echoes around my body again and again. At this time, I can only try my best to protect my head, and at the same time I do not forget to remind Ai Xue loudly.

"Silly girl... run! run!..."

There was constant trampling from behind me, interrupting me. At this time, there was no hero coming from the sky, and even a goddess was useless in my body.

This is the world, and reality is cruel.

Just as he thought of the goddess, Elsia's voice suddenly rang.

"Human, if you die, I will occupy your body."

What kind of fuck is this?! I'm more familiar with playing tricks on the wrong side...

A detail I have paid attention to has failed to make Elsia's vision come true.

Just when I was kicked so hard that I couldn't help rolling on the ground and was about to be dragged up and continued to beat me, Ai Xue, who was supposed to be crying and running away, suddenly stepped into the air and gently pushed out a palm in the air.

A young man was pushed out several meters and fell into the corner and fainted.

A hint of inspiration flashed through my mind, almost dazzled. When I saw Ai Xue for the first time, I noticed that her fingers seemed a little rough...

Ai Xue's steps were light, and she flashed several times among the many young people who were attracted by her. Her little hand squeezed into a hollow fist and kept hitting it out lightly.

None of the people she hit flew out again, and they knelt on the ground and started to scream in pain.

I shook my head, completely confused.

In the Democratic Republic of Hanzhong, which advocates civilization and progress, those with such skills are definitely not ordinary people. It is said that as early as after the World War, governments of various countries have signed agreements to make ordinary people the dominant world in today's world. Except for the top-notch people like the Wanderer, everyone is ordinary people with nothing.

Could it be that Ai Xue is a voluntary?

This thought made me forget the pain of my constant jumping. Seeing the girl flashing left and right in the night alley and quickly dropping down a few young people, I felt like I was being played with.

——While clearly have such ability, why do you want me to be a hero?

It has to be admitted that Ai Xue's skills are really amazing. I have never seen any big world and have no chance to get in touch with voluntary masters and world fighting champions. However, judging from the situations I have come into contact with in various media, it is probably Ai Xue's level.

Elsia's cold voice sounded inappropriately in my mind again.

"She has the talent of 'war art' and is considered a rare human."

Since Ai Xue can get the situation alone, I simply chatted with Alcia for a few words.

"What is 'war art'?"

"The existence beyond 'capacity' is the ability given to the heroes of the human world by the gods in the kingdom of gods." Elsia was patient in every question I asked, and was willing to explain in detail.

"...It's so complicated. Let's talk to me carefully if you have time."

I touched my burnt back and arms, and limped towards Ai Xue, who had already finished the battle.

He kept stepping on the stone floor lightly, and Ai Xue, who was flying left and right like a night elf, calmed down and still had a cute expression that looked harmless. Unfortunately, I was no longer confused by this expression at this time, and shook my head firmly and resolutely.

"I think I'd better go back first. I'm overestimating myself."

When Ai Xue saw my unhappy expression, she naturally knew what the consequences of her deception would have.

I waved my hand, and without letting Ai Xue explain, I turned my head and walked away slowly in the direction of my home.

Although I could feel the girl behind me was watching me, I never looked back. Alcia, who almost had a omnipotent perspective on me, should have looked at the girl for a long time and suddenly said, "Human, you are as arrogant as the gods."

"Forget it, let's talk about the topic of 'talent'." I muttered while rubbing blood on myself, "The only thing I'm interested in now is money. Tell me about 'talent'. I want to change my current situation."

Elsia was silent for a moment before whispering: "Humans, the path of God-Transporters among you humans is very difficult."

I rolled my eyes to Elsia: "My life is already very difficult now."

“…”

In the night, except for the long shadows dragged out by the street lights, there was only a desolate goddess who was silently accompanying me. The pain on my body made me suddenly have the urge to speak.

"Actually, I'm a little unwilling to give up." I didn't know whether to say to Elsia or to myself, "Life has only been a few decades. Our lifespan is so small and so unremarkable than your gods. But just now, I saw the power and confidence that Ai Xue burst out, and I think it's all life. Why is this world so unfair? Are the gods' decisions correct? How do you manage this world? I don't care, I want to have more!"

My silent shouts crossed the long streets of night, echoing in Elsia and myself. I said that as I grew up and changed in the environment, all kinds of pain in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Do people grow up like this?

Elsia didn't know what she was thinking, and she waited until I walked halfway through the street before she started talking to me about the topic of "talent".

"Humans, having 'talent' does not mean having skills." Elsia's cold voice sounded like she had just gone to the far north. "Don't think that since you have 'talent', you can master skills in an instant."

"I know that the learning process is very important. I heard that some gods have learned for a long time before they have enviable powerful powers."

“‘Talent’ represents the most important category of human souls.” Elsia continued to explain to me, “About everything, there may be ‘Talent’. At a certain historical period of humanity, some talents evolved into abilities that humans should not have.”

"Age of Magic?"

"No, it's the supernatural era." Elsia still said as a script, "Human power has been formulated by the gods since it was originally. With its own learning and exploration, humans finally broke through the limitations of their own abilities in a certain era and reached the level of having many divine abilities."

"Oh? Who were the gods who initially formulated human abilities? Or are there more gods in your kingdoms?"

"All the Lord Gods who are concerned about the world are collectively involved in the formulation of the Code of Human Capabilities."

"What a big gossip..." I sighed, "Continue, since the classification of 'capacity' is so trivial, I'll make it clear that I'll choose the main one."

Elsia's tone was still calm. It seemed that she had lived long enough and had developed quite patience.

"To give a simple example, if a person has the highest level of 'musical talent', it already includes all 'instrumental talent' and 'singing talent' - but this is rare."

I probably understood what Elsia meant: "That is, if you have the 'limbing talent', then this person is also likely to be suitable for acting?"

"That's it." Elsia's tone became less stiff because I could understand her words. "The talents most people in the world have are very small, so you are already an excellent human being."

"...Why do I still feel like I'm praising people?"

Although Elsia still looks down on humans, I still look down on this simple and silly goddess. On such a night, it is very happy that someone can talk to me after being injured. I didn’t ask Elsia about more “talents” topics. After this road, I was still Cen Mengwu, and Elsia is still the goddess in charge of the future. We can have conversations because we are standing on the same suspension bridge.

As for what talents I have, I still haven't asked Elsia.
