Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 12 Cooperation Achieved

This time, she clearly felt the detailed images in her mind, as if she were seeing them on a television screen.

I could clearly feel my mental energy being drawn together by another energy, entangled and flowing along my arm to the hand holding the metal block.

Then, she found herself in a new "perspective".

From this perspective, she seemed to see the entire piece of metal.

When one's mental energy combines with that energy, it's like an invisible hand that can easily grasp this piece of metal.

With a mere thought, one can "exert force" to change the shape of the stressed part of the metal.

It's like kneading a lump of clay.

"Is this what he meant by 'feeling'?"

After having this thought for a moment, she believed Wu Ou's words even more.

In his mind, the dagger looked as real as if it were real.

As she 'thought' about transforming the metal in her hand into the same form, the entire piece of metal began to change.

It was as if her thoughts had pressed the 'button' of shaping, and the rest was left to that power to complete on its own.

When she came to her senses, the metal block in her hand had completely transformed into the dagger in her mind.

"This..." She looked at Wu Ou, only to find that Wu Ou smiled and nodded.

"This is what you did. Congratulations on successfully using your abilities."

I call it the Source Energy Shaper, but you can call it something else too.

"Source energy? Isn't that mental energy?" Leng Yue asked subconsciously.

"You should have clearly sensed it by now! What you're using isn't just mental power, but also a kind of energy. This is the fundamental power that humans, animals, plants, and even some special life forms have in this evolution: source energy."

It's like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in cultivation novels.

Leng Yue nodded. "I understand now that you put it that way." She then looked at the dagger in her hand and brandished it.

"I never imagined that this ability would be so amazing."

By the way, you mentioned before that people who evolve towards spiritual power all possess this ability?

"Yes! But what you're doing now is just a very basic application. Its real function lies in..."

"It's about quickly creating some complex structural items, right!" The enhanced mental strength, which brought about increased thinking speed and memory, made Leng Yue immediately think of this.

clap clap clap!

Wu Ou nodded. "Not bad! With stronger mental power, you can also project your energy to see inside things that are difficult to see with the naked eye. So, you can understand the structure of many items through mental scanning, and then—manufacture them quickly!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the production line and then turned to point to the cars parked outside.

Leng Yue opened her mouth slightly and swallowed in surprise.

"Really? Could I possibly—"

"Clap your hands together and whatever you wish for will come true? You'd probably need to improve your strength a lot to do that, but even if you had enough time and resources right now, you could make these things." Wu Ou made a gesture of clasping his hands together and joked a little.

But in Leng Yue's opinion, what he said was probably true!

However, after taking a deep breath, she quickly calmed down.

She realized why Wu Ou was willing to give her that source crystal, choosing only a very "disadvantaged" distribution method.

"Speak! What kind of cooperation do you want with me? What do you want me to do for you with this ability?" Leng Yue looked at Wu Ou seriously.

"Our target is the northern base."

Most of the people in our team believe in the country and that they can have a stable and peaceful living environment there.

Ideally, we should be able to restore the conditions to what they were before the disaster.

But I think you can now understand how difficult it is to simply restore productivity and ensure people's basic living needs!

Hearing Wu Ou's words, Leng Yue nodded.

"So what? You should understand that if I can figure these things out, I can naturally understand the purpose of your actions yesterday."

I appreciate your kindness, but you can't expect me to do anything excessive!

Seeing her determined gaze, Wu Ou nodded. "Of course! I want to cooperate with you and get an opportunity to join the base's management."

"What?" Leng Yue was stunned for a moment, and there was even a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"The information sent out by the Northern Base stated that individuals with special abilities can be specially recruited after verification and review, for..."

Before she finished speaking, Wu Ou waved her hand and said, "We are different."

"Once your abilities are exposed and the country finds out, do you really think your treatment and career development will be the same as someone like me who's just good at fighting?"

That's exactly what he was worried about.

Initially, the country was in a decision-making phase regarding the appropriate absorption of individuals with first-level strength.

Some of them even became important figures such as team leaders.

However, many technologies found in the ruins were discovered, analyzed, and absorbed by the Blue Star civilization, and then became reality. Only those people who passed through layers of trials were able to be preserved.

Most of them are separated out through various means, becoming the country's "outsourced" forces, and are also subject to restrictions.

He only returned to management after the first person with level two strength appeared.

Once they reached space, after several twists and turns, the highly skilled group gradually integrated into the management team, but in reality, they were absorbed rather than joined.

He didn't want to get entangled in such unpleasant things during the exploration of the ruins, so he wanted to reach a cooperation agreement with Leng Yue to ensure safety.

"To put it bluntly, you're just afraid the government will abandon you after you've served your purpose?" Leng Yue raised an eyebrow and even chuckled.

It seems that Wu Ou's idea is somewhat 'naive'.

Wu Ou shrugged. "I used to be just an ordinary citizen. I had a great opportunity to join the management team, and I didn't want to be kicked out so easily, especially when my value wasn't high and I wasn't irreplaceable."

"Want to be a paycheck thief?" Leng Yue even rolled her eyes at him jokingly this time.

Seeing Wu Ou's "confirmed" expression, she smiled and said, "If it's just this, then there's no problem!"

Wu Ou walked up to her. "So, it's a deal?"

Snapped!

Leng Yue clasped his right hand. "It's a deal!"

After almost everyone got up, some people, especially the members of Leng Yue's team, showed surprise when they saw the two of them walk out together.

"I talked with Captain Wu about our upcoming trip to the northern base."

Our two teams traveled together, cooperating to ensure everyone's safety.

Once we're inside the northern base, everyone can make their own choices.

"Everyone, is there any other question?" Wu Ou looked at Sun Xin and the others.

"Wasn't this agreed upon from the beginning? We have no problem!" Hu Meng was the first to respond.

Subsequently, Sun Xin and the others nodded in agreement.

The two exchanged a glance, and Leng Yue smiled as she spoke.

"Well then, we're all acquaintances now. Let's set off together after breakfast!"
