As Zhang Xiaoman spoke, his words echoed like heavenly music in the ears of the Wencheen brothers.
They widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at the man before them as if they were still unsure about what they had just heard.
Zhang Xiaoman maintained a smile, quietly observing the two.
However, he was somewhat speechless inside.
What was wrong with them?
Why were they just standing there, dazed?
This is really awkward for me.
Zhang Xiaoman’s mouth twitched involuntarily, but fortunately, his Spirit Detection Technique helped disguise it well, as the silvery glow in his eyes served as an effective mask at that moment.
After a considerable pause, the Wencheen brothers came to their senses.
From initial disappointment to disbelief and now to excitement, their emotions had changed rapidly in less than a minute, making them feel as if they were on a space shuttle.
"Sir, are you serious? Can we... really join?"
Dane’s voice, full of anticipation, immediately rang out, and by comparison, Sam seemed much less anxious.
While he too craved these Extraordinary Powers, he wasn’t as eager as Dane.
The reason the two brothers reacted so differently was actually related to their upbringing.
Sam had always dreamed of becoming a lawyer, so the sudden appearance of the Extraordinary World had a huge impact on his worldview and was even overwhelming for him initially.
Dane, on the other hand, had been the exact opposite, following his father from a young age in the pursuit of criminals and exploring the supernatural.
Although his lifelong wish for revenge for his parents was fulfilled, how could he not be thrilled to truly enter the Extraordinary Domain he had sought for so many years?
However, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t care about their reasons; his goal was simple: to unearth benefits that would aid the development of the Star Alliance.
Indeed, the benefits he had discovered seemed to be within this estate.
So, before that, he needed to coax the estate’s two owners into willingly contributing these resources.
Thinking thus, Zhang Xiaoman turned his gaze to Dane: "You shouldn’t be too happy just yet. Although I’ve already acknowledged that you’ve passed the test, whether you can truly join the Star Alliance isn’t quite that simple."
He then briefly explained some background about the Star Alliance and the issues related to Alien Species invasions to the two brothers.
During the conversation, he specifically mentioned the risks and responsibilities required of Star Alliance members.
In other words, to become an Awakener and control Extraordinary Power, there’s a price to pay.
Dane readily agreed to these terms, whereas Sam hesitated for a long while before finally nodding.
It was unclear whether he shared his brother’s thirst for the supernatural or feared the impending Great Fusion.
But Zhang Xiaoman didn’t care about their reasons; he only needed a result.
As long as it didn’t affect his plan to develop the Star Alliance, it was acceptable.
Since these matters had been smoothly resolved, his attention naturally shifted to the gains from this visit.
Holding the dry Xiao Hua in his hand and reassessing it, since it wasn’t an item from the System, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t see its attributes, so its detailed information remained unknown for now.
He then shifted his focus and picked up a very old piece of paper from the table.
The moment he picked up the paper, Zhang Xiaoman slightly narrowed his eyes as the content...
completely baffled him.
Yes, it was a note written entirely in English, incomprehensible to his academically challenged mind.
Although he couldn’t understand the content, he recognized some numbers and words, and from the format of the note and the size of the digits, it seemed somewhat familiar.
"216, 210, 203... Are these numbers part of a Dark Energy Sequence? Could this be a note containing a Dark Energy Formula?" he speculated internally.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at a few words he recognized on the paper, then sorted through some of the information and murmured, "It appears to record a medicine formulation."
He thought for a moment, then corrected himself, "No, more accurately, this should be a formula for a medicine."
The Wencheen brothers were immediately captivated by what he said.
Why did that sound so much like some mysterious Extraordinary Item concocted by a wizard, almost as if those legends about Alchemists were true?
"But this medicine’s name..." Zhang Xiaoman looked at the few words noted at the top of the paper, uncertainly adding, "why does it sound like it’s related to talents and intuition..."
As he spoke, he handed the paper to Dane, asking him to help read out the content.
After examining the note, Dane showed a puzzled look, but still recited followingly:
"Medicine: inspiration... Stage: Enlightenment... Dark Energy Particle Transformation: Sequence 216, Sequence 210, Sequence 203, Sequence 202, Sequence 201... What does all this mean?"
He said this, then looked up at Zhang Xiaoman, completely baffled.
The latter furrowed his brows slightly. Thanks to the Communication Skill, he had understood the content of the other party’s words — the name of the medicine was "inspiration".
