Chapter 8

“I am a representative of Ericsson Mobil.”

“I’m from IBM.”

“I represent the local company SANY Heavy Industry. May I ask if you have any interest in joining our company?”

“I am a representative from Microsoft. If your ability is related to intelligence, you must remember to visit our company. Even if it’s not, that’s fine—we are willing to cooperate with you in all other fields.”

“Sir, I am a representative from Deloitte. If you need a financial professional to serve you, our company is willing to serve you wholeheartedly, free of charge.”

“IBM! Microsoft! Mobil!” Brian Carter was almost overwhelmed by the sudden happiness.

These industry giants are usually the top companies, always high and mighty. Now, these companies are actually lowering themselves to beg him to work for them. Is this a dream?

Overnight, the bicycle courier Brian Carter became a hot commodity in the eyes of these super enterprises. It was like a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

What is most lacking in the twenty-first century?

Talent!

Especially talent who has unlocked the seventh brain region!

That’s even more valuable than gold!

“All right, everyone!” A male staff member came out and said loudly, “Let’s discuss your matters later. Now I need to take this gentleman for a test.”

The representatives of the multinational companies reluctantly stepped aside.

“Hello, my name is Benjamin Clark. Please come with me.”

Benjamin Clark led Brian Carter into a very bright room, where several uniformed staff members were already waiting, all with bright smiles on their faces.

An elderly man with short golden hair, looking very energetic, walked over.

Beside him was a short woman, about thirty years old, wearing glasses.

The golden-haired old man smiled at Brian Carter and said, “Dear Federation citizen, congratulations on successfully unlocking the mysterious seventh brain region. May I ask what kind of ability you have gained?”

“Speed,” Brian Carter replied bluntly.

“Uh, you can understand my Ukrainian?” The old man was quite surprised. The woman beside him had been preparing to translate for Brian Carter, but unexpectedly, Brian Carter spoke even more fluently than she did.

Brian Carter scratched his head embarrassedly. “A little, just a little.”

The reason Brian Carter could converse in Ukrainian was all thanks to the translation chip he carried.

The translation chip is a magical thing. It can translate the vast majority of languages in the universe, and it’s an intelligent translation—no need to preset any database.

Affected by the translation chip, when Brian Carter heard Ukrainian, what came out of his mouth naturally was also Ukrainian.

“What a talented young man. Hello, my name is Brodie Scott, Director of the Earth Federation A-Class Citizen Administration, Beijing Branch.” Brodie Scott said with an appreciative expression.

These days, people who can unlock the seventh brain region are highly valued by the Federation government. Plus, Brian Carter could speak fluent Ukrainian, which made Brodie Scott, far from home, feel especially close.

“My name is Brian Carter, I’m Chinese,” Brian Carter said.

Brodie Scott smiled, “You should say you’re a citizen of the Earth Federation.”

Brian Carter scratched his head a little embarrassedly. “Hehe, I’m used to saying it that way. It’s hard to change all of a sudden.”

The two conversed fluently, and the woman with glasses had to perk up her ears to listen carefully, often unable to keep up with their pace. Admiration for Brian Carter showed on her face.

“To speak Ukrainian so well—Ukrainian is a very difficult and obscure language. I’ve studied it for more than ten years and this is as far as I’ve gotten. Could it be that this Brian Carter is a language genius?” the woman with glasses wondered to herself.

“Oh my! An average speed of twenty-three meters per second! Maximum limit, twenty-seven meters per second!” Holding the test sheet, Brodie Scott exclaimed, “Brian Carter! You’ve already reached the standard for this level. You are a Starlight-level beginner ability user!”

Benjamin Clark and the woman with glasses both showed looks of disbelief.

Ability users are divided into many levels.

From the lowest Starlight level, to Constellation level, Starfield level, and even Galaxy level.

The higher the level, the more attention ability users receive in the universe. After all, the universe is a place where strength is respected.

Each level is further divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Brian Carter’s level had already surpassed Starlight beginner, and he was not far from Starlight intermediate.

“Brian Carter, let me ask you, when did you unlock the seventh brain region? Was it through natural cultivation?” Brodie Scott asked.

“It was through natural cultivation. The time was yesterday—more precisely, last night.” Brian Carter deliberately avoided mentioning the use of the gene optimization fluid. It wasn’t that he was intentionally hiding it, but he felt that talking about being caught and sent to prison on Blue Ocean Star would be troublesome. The less said, the better.

Shock!

Extreme shock!
