Chapter 288: Chapter 287: Other ability users in the base

The cactus had only grown an inch bigger, but after it fully digested the information that it needed, it could grow very fast depending on its main ability.

Conscious plants would have different abilities, and it would also influence their growth speed.

If their main abilities needed them to grow bigger, then they would grow faster, but if their abilities wouldn’t need to rely on their size, then their growth speed would be slower.

After observing the cactus for a while, he brought out the other pots again and put them beside the cactus.

Luciel knew that the cactus would probably sleep for a few more days, so he didn’t pay attention to it any longer and just slumped on the sofa, planning to watch another movie.

"He watched movies until lunchtime. When he had lunch with the others, he asked Wes if he could go watch the training of those with superpowers in the base.

Wes didn’t give a definite answer, only saying that he would ask if Luciel was allowed to watch."

Of course, Luciel already knew that Wes couldn’t give him a definite answer.

He just asks it so that Wes and the others could go and ask Treyton’s uncles or whoever is in charge of the training of the base ability users.

After their lunch, Wes went out, and when he came back, he said that he could go and watch the training of those people with superpowers.

So, the next day, Luciel went with the others to where the people with superpowers were supposed to train.

Luciel wasn’t alone; he was with some of the members of the team because they said that they’re also interested in watching the training of the base ability users.

Well, they were probably not too interested in the training itself, but they’re more interested in the ability users of the base, just like him.

He only wanted to watch the training of the ability users to observe the different superpowers present at the base.

Since many ability users were expected to participate, Luciel hoped to spot individuals with unique or particularly strong abilities.

He was also curious to see if any familiar faces would be among the trainees.

In the book, Treyton had recruited team members after returning to the north base.

He had recruited some incompetent people, but he still recruited a lot of people with some talent.

Treyton also managed to recruit a few who had really outstanding ability.

So, Luciel wanted to see if they were really in the north base. And if they hadn’t found a group to join yet, maybe they could be invited to the team.

Myla and the others with him likely had similar thoughts, which was why they were more interested in watching others train rather than just staying in their villa and continuing training themselves.

Luciel had woken up early, so when they arrived at the training palace of the ability users, it was still around 8 am, so the training hadn’t begun yet.

When they arrived, they were led to the elevated area at the side where they could completely watch all the people training below.

Aside from them, there were also others watching the ability users below.

He saw Treyton’s grandfather and uncles sitting at the front, with a few others seated nearby.

Luciel began looking at the ability users below and estimated there were at least 3,000 of them.

His eyesight was excellent, so even though the crowd was large, he could still pick out some familiar faces.

For instance, he spotted Frey—the aspiring admirer of Treyton—whom he had just seen the day before.

He also recognized Treyton’s two former lovers, Lex and Ron, along with Ron’s sister, Vivi.

He looked around some more but didn’t spot any other familiar faces. However, he was still familiar with the soldiers standing on the right side of the training grounds.

Of course, Luciel doesn’t know their names aside from Treyton’s cousins, but he could say they were familiar because they were all the soldiers who had trained with Treyton and the others before they left the base 2 months ago.

Just after they sat down, the soldiers leading in front began to call all the ability users who were still scattered and talking to others to assemble properly.

When everyone assembled properly, the soldier in front said some introduction and also explained what the people would be doing for the whole month.

Afterwards, they also said the number of zombie crystals they had to pay in three months.

They told all the ability users that each of them should pay 200 zombie crystals.

When the soldier in front told them that they had to pay 250 zombie crystals each, some of the ability users began muttering something and talking to those beside them.

Most of those ability users might think that it was a lot based on their current ability.

Luciel already knew that when going out to do missions, most of the teams would avoid direct confrontation against zombies if they could, just like Dan and the others.

Only those who were trying to train themselves hard would directly confront zombies that they met while looking for supplies.

They don’t know that zombie crystals are very beneficial for them, so it was understandable that they avoided directly fighting zombies as much as possible.

At the beginning Treyton and the others also avoided most of the zombies because they weren’t aware of the use of the zombie crystals.

But after knowing the usefulness of the zombie crystals they would always kill most of the zombies on their way.

Most of the ability users might think that 250 zombie crystals is a lot but after going out to kill zombies they could surely gather those zombie crystals easily especially after improving their abilities.

So as long as they knew what they were doing and couldn’t just rush out of the base alone then gathering 250 zombie crystals for three months would be easy.

After stating the number of zombie crystals required for the one-month training and the methods for strengthening their abilities, the soldier asked the ability users once more if they wished to join the training. Those who didn’t want to participate were still free to leave.

They also gave the ability users five minutes to decide, and after five minutes, if they didn’t leave, it meant that they were willing to stay and pay the price afterwards.

Even though a lot of ability users were whispering to each other, after five minutes no one still left the training area.

No one left the training area, so they proceeded to the next step.

They divided the ability users according to their abilities to facilitate ease of guiding them afterwards.

When they were divided, the most common abilities observed were wind, water, earth, and fire—these four categories had the highest number of ability users.

In contrast, there were noticeably fewer people with rarer abilities like plant manipulation, metal, lightning, gravity, telekinesis, ice, poison, sound, erosion, and others.

They also demonstrated their powers to see how strong their abilities were before they began learning the methods to increase their strength.

They demonstrated their abilities, so Luciel indeed saw a lot of people with rare superpowers.

When they demonstrated their abilities, a lot of people were immediately paying attention to them.

The people who were watching at the sides were also talking about recruiting those people.

So, the competition for those people with rare abilities should be high. The military will also be hiring them, so if the offer is not enough or there is no friendly connection to them, then they’ll probably be hired by the military.

Luciel saw many rare abilities among the participants, but he was most interested in the person with sound-based powers and the one with the ability to turn things into sand.

Those two people were recruited into Treyton’s team in the book. He just doesn’t know if they would still be interested in joining the team.

In the book, those two people didn’t betray Treyton and stayed in Treyton’s group for a long time.

They managed to stay alive in Treyton’s team for a long time because their abilities were really useful and powerful.

The person with sound power has a very powerful group attack, which was very useful.

The person who can turn things to sand also has powerful group attacks in the future, but even though his strength isn’t that good yet, he could already turn a lot of things into sand.

Myla and the others beside him were also talking about the people with unique abilities and wanted to recruit some of them.

So, Luciel immediately pointed to the two people he was interested in and asked them to focus on recruiting them.

Myla and the others told him that they would certainly try to recruit them as soon as possible.

Treyton wasn’t with them, but he certainly wouldn’t refuse if they wanted to recruit a few who would be very useful later.
