Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Periodic Table of Talent Sequences (Please Subscribe, Favorite, and Vote for Monthly Ticket)

This book isn’t some kind of professional textbook; it’s more like a compilation of urban legends and strange tales.

At the very beginning of the book, it seems to look like someone’s manuscript or fragments of a diary. Most of the content is made up of independent paragraphs, with an obvious sense of jump between them.

The sentence that He Ao had just seen came from this part.

He flipped through the pages, his eyes scanning the text within.

[Furious Man can be promoted to Bull, and Bull can be promoted to Thug. There is a clear sequence of progression among the three, but if a Furious Man ingests the Talent of a Mercenary, he can’t be promoted and may even immediately descend into madness or death. What are the intrinsic rules among these Talents?]

······

[No, this arrangement won’t work; is my approach flawed? No, the approach should be fine. But perhaps we have too little data on Talents at the moment. There are many Talents yet to be discovered by us, so it’s impossible to identify a clear pattern among them; maybe I should change my approach.]

······

[Based on the data we have, F-rank Talents only include Student, Farmer, Citizen, Reader, Furious Man, (text missing here), and Audience—nine in total. Each Talent is shared by many people, and all known exotic beasts possess these nine Talents. If we assume that F-rank truly only comprises these nine Talents, which are the easiest to obtain and the most basic,

— does this mean that all Talents can be promoted from one of these nine Talents?]

······

[Our data is still too scarce to trace every Talent back to those nine basic Talents. There are too many missing links. However, the data I have now strongly supports my theory. I need to find a way to secure more resources.]

······

[There is a kind of progressive relationship among these nine Talents! The relationship is subtle, but I have discovered it; I truly am a genius, hahaha!

If this is the case, their sequence should be Farmer, Student, Reader, (text missing here), Notary, Audience—these are the nine; yes, they are the beginning of it all. According to this order, they should represent Talents 1-9.

I have a premonition that I am writing history... Well, now, who isn’t writing history?]

······

[Just how many E-rank Talents are there? From what I know, there are already far more than nine. It seems one base Talent can have several different promotion directions. This is truly like a great tree, one trunk branching out into many limbs. It’s a pity that the number of Transcendents is like a pyramid—the higher the level, the fewer the people.]

······

[I can’t be certain that my data is accurate. I can only try to categorize them tentatively. E-rank should have only 27 Talents. So, what about D-rank? To this day, I haven’t discovered any alternative Talents for promoting from E to D-rank. All known pathways from E to D-rank are one-to-one and not like F to E, which has multiple choices.

Then, I can boldly speculate that there may be only one choice for promotion from E to D-rank, meaning there should also be only 27 Talents in D-rank.]

······

[Perhaps I should name my discovery? Ellenska suggested calling it the "Talent Sequences Periodic Table," and I think that’s a good name. That guy rarely says something bearable.

When viewed vertically, the many Talents that are promoted from the same base Talent, are like the trunk and branches of a great tree, bearing some form of resemblance. These Talents could be said to be in the same ’family.’ Meanwhile, horizontally, from the ’Farmer’ of the first family to the ’Audience’ of the ninth family, all Talents are arranged in sequence, cycling continuously, forming a periodic system.

I am a genius indeed, hahaha!]

······

[Perfect! The facts have proven my periodic table correct, although there is a small part of the sequence that is wrong, which can be adjusted easily. Although I have only reached the D cycle, mastering this pattern, we will be able to save more lives.]

······

[My research is stuck on the C cycle. Damn it, the transition from D to C has returned to a one-to-many state, and they seem to be without pattern. Why would God play dice in such a random game? Damn it, no, I need to calm down. I must find the intrinsic rules between these Talents. It would be great if the Eye of the World were here.]

······

He Ao briefly skimmed through the rest—this book’s useful content ends here. Most of the remainder is about urban legends concerning Talent Sequences and various myths and ghost stories; some were even horror stories.

Of course, the fragmented paragraphs in the first part also look like some kind of strange tale, but He Ao thought this content should have some degree of truthfulness. At least, the person who wrote this had a definite understanding of Talent Sequences.

For instance, the ’Furious Man’ and ’Audience’ mentioned inside probably correspond to ’Talent Sequence 5: Furious Man,’ ’Talent Sequence 9: Audience.’

He Ao pondered for a moment, then took out his wristband and searched for ’Ellenska’ in the search engine.

Soon enough, an encyclopedia entry popped up.

[Ellenska:

One of the founders of the Federation, the first Mayor of Dawn City, a great pioneer and builder of civilization, buried in Dumel National Cemetery after his demise.]

He Ao briefly reviewed the entry, which was mostly a simple recount of Ellenska’s life: how he landed from the sea, established Dawn, expanded the city, and built the Federation—mostly official and canned language, without delving into any Transcendent information.

The Federation’s internet seems to have everything, yet it’s like a sieve that screens out all ’unwanted’ information.

Direct searches of Talent Sequences yield no information.

The information seen by many people is actually carefully filtered by the Conglomerate’s AI systems, presented deliberately to viewers.

People who like buying clothes will see more articles or videos recommending clothes, while those who enjoy traveling will find more recommendations for picturesque spots.

And these targeted recommendations eventually drive people to place orders on corresponding websites, transforming into profits for the Conglomerates.

Even if most people might not need these things temporarily, under the relentless bombardment of information, people are often induced to make impulsive purchases.

The taxi slowed to a stop.

He Ao closed the book and paid the fare with his wristband. After getting out of the car, he circled a few streets to ensure no one was following him before returning to his apartment.

By this time, he had completely mastered the ’Onlooker’ Talent.

He Ao pressed his hand against the mirror in the bathroom, opening the door to a secret chamber, and slowly approached the remaining vial of green Secret Medicine.
