You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 177 - 171: Transcendent

"Fireworks in March, off to Yangzhou," Shen Mochen leaned against the car window, smiling as he watched the beautiful scenery outside.

"What did you say?" Du Ziqi asked.

"Nothing much, where are we heading now? Directly to the station?"

"No, no, no, we won’t take you directly to the station. Instead, we will first take you to the rest stop. Someone will come to pick you up there."

"What’s a rest stop?"

"You can think of it as a free hotel, of course, only available to active Buque, those retired within five years, the injured retired, and graduates. When you’re on vacation, you can also stay for free with your Buque Certificate. It’s built to the standards of a star-rated hotel, not only is the accommodation free, but so are the three meals a day."

Shen Mochen nodded, thinking to himself that this was quite a nice perk. However, the fact that ordinary Buque could only enjoy it for five more years after retirement seemed a bit stingy. He had heard that in Huaqi and Roman, even ordinary retirees had the benefit of life-long care in sanatoriums.

Of course, those were superpowers after all; you couldn’t really compare.

Du Ziqi handed Shen Mochen a small box, "This is for you, keep it safe. Of course, you can also take a look at it in the car."

Shen Mochen opened it, finding a Buque entry manual and a card inside.

The card’s front featured the Buque military emblem, a hand mending the sky. On the back was Shen Mochen’s photo and his personal information: name, military rank, and squad number.

"Is this my Buque Certificate?" Shen Mochen examined the card.

"Yes," Du Ziqi said, "this is your ID. In the future, you can ride buses, subways, and trains for free with this certificate, and you also enjoy the privilege of priority handling in various affairs and entering public places. So please keep it safe. If you lose it, report the loss immediately to prevent criminals from using it. In that case, you’ll only need to pay twenty yuan for a replacement."

Shen Mochen looked over his Buque Certificate. In the squad column, there were four numbers: 0819.

"Are the squads usually three-digit numbers?" Shen Mochen asked.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, they are," replied Du Ziqi, answering willingly.

"So, what does Squad 0003 mean?" Shen Mochen inquired further.

Du Ziqi looked at Shen Mochen with a complex gaze, "Are you talking about General Yin?"

Shen Mochen pocketed the Buque Certificate, "Yes, I saw her number is 0003. Is she impressive?"

"I don’t really know, but they should all be Transcendents."

"Transcendents? Like those super ability users?"

Du Ziqi nodded, "That’s one term for them, but that’s mostly used by outsiders who don’t know the real situation. Within the Buque Official, they are generally referred to as Transcendents. They’re not only extraordinarily powerful in their superpowers but more importantly, they can break free from the physical constraints of the flesh. They can fly and tunnel through the earth at will and possess defensive power comparable to top-tier monsters."

Shen Mochen clicked his tongue, "Such dangerous beings, and you’ve always kept them a secret from outsiders!"

"It’s also to avoid unnecessary panic among the public; I hope you can understand. Generally speaking, even ordinary superpower users aren’t told about the existence of Transcendents."

"That you’re telling me now, does that mean I’m not ordinary?"

"Since you already know, there’s no need to hide it. Besides, you’re family to General Yin."

"Yin Caiyu... what’s her strength like? I heard she’s the captain, is she that impressive?"

"Extremely impressive. In Yupi Country, she could rank in the top three. Of course, top Transcendents don’t engage in private fights. This is just judged from her daily performances against monsters. It’s possible that she could be ranked first."

Shen Mochen exhaled softly, laughed, and a cryptic smile flickered in his eyes, "That girl is the most useless, at home, cooking, laundry, and all the chores are done by Lian and me. Yet, after awakening her superpower, she turns out to be so formidable... and she never told me."

Du Ziqi was silent at first then couldn’t help but say, "That’s also normal. After all, Transcendents are, in a sense, not the same species as humans. She probably didn’t want you to think of her as a monster... However, fortunately, even Transcendents’ powers wane with age; otherwise, it would really be a disaster for humanity."

"With age comes weakening..." Shen Mochen smiled vaguely and whispered, "Truly an inviolable natural law."

Du Ziqi felt some sarcasm in Shen Mochen’s words, but she didn’t know what it meant. Maybe it was just a casual remark on his part.

"I have a few more questions. How is the Extraordinary State awakened? Is it awakened together with superpowers? Do males also have the Extraordinary State?"

"I don’t think I mentioned the Extraordinary State earlier," Du Ziqi gave Shen Mochen a look.

"A friend of mine, she seems to be a Transcendent too, but she’s already twenty, and lately, she’s been complaining that she can’t maintain that state anymore."

"Then you can ask her. In fact, Transcendents are quite mysterious; I don’t really understand their awakening process. But as far as I know, at least General Yin wasn’t a Transcendent when she first awakened. As for males... I’m sorry, I have never heard of a male Transcendent."

Shen Mochen leaned back in the car seat, sighed helplessly, "I would like to ask, but I don’t have her contact information... The only person who could contact her seems not to want to interact with me lately."

Du Ziqi’s mouth twitched slightly, "Is it a girl?"

Shen Mochen glanced at her, "Didn’t you just say there are no male superpower users?"

Du Ziqi pursed her lips, "I meant the person who can contact your Transcendent friend."

Shen Mochen gently touched the Cross on his neck, expressionless, "You guessed wrong, it’s a male, the one that Transcendent is infatuated with."

Du Ziqi looked surprised, "That Transcendent isn’t infatuated with you but with your male friend?"

"I’m not perfume or lipstick; I can’t make every girl like me."

Shen Mochen gazed out the window at the receding scenery and the topic of Transcendents lost its appeal to him.

Ordinary superpower users have weak defenses; a touch from a monster can lead to injury or death. Yet even so, the mortality rate over two years isn’t very high, which proves that ordinary superpower users have the ability to crush ordinary monsters.

Given that ordinary superpower users are already so strong, what kind of monsters do Transcendents fight against every day?

He was somewhat curious but not in a hurry to know. Having grown up in a slum, he had always felt that if the sky fell, it would fall on the tall people. As an ordinary superpower user, worrying about these things was useless.

For the rest of the time, he didn’t chat idly anymore but flipped through the Buque entry manual. However, this manual was as thick as a brick; after flipping through it for a while, he lost interest, even though he knew that the more he learned about it, the safer he would be.
