Chapter 64: Portable Dimensional Space
A moment later, Zhao Yi looked at Lu Yu’s identification, glanced at the security guards' credentials, and then at the search results displayed on the computer screen before him, feeling his head buzz with confusion.
Me, Zhao Yi!
The proud son of heaven!
The protagonist of an urban supernatural web novel!
A few days ago, I happened to encounter a rainbow and subsequently awakened a spatial superpower!
How could this experience look any less than that of a protagonist in an urban supernatural novel?
I haven't even embarked on my protagonist journey yet, so why have I run into people from the relevant authorities? What kind of plot development is this?
Something must be wrong!
With this thought, Zhao Yi closed his eyes, took a long moment to calm down, and when he opened them again, he found that everything was real.
"Ahem, I haven't broken the law, have I?"
"After gaining my superpower, I haven't done anything illegal or disorderly. I haven't stolen from supermarkets, I haven't gambled in casinos, and I certainly haven't used my extraordinary abilities to commit crimes. You guys can't do anything to me, right?"
As he spoke, Zhao Yi's confidence began to waver.
"Are you really sure you haven't broken the law? Think carefully. You're a top student from a top-tier university. If you keep talking like that, I'm going to start questioning your intelligence!"
Zhao Yi shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Uh, I might have broken the law just a tiny bit, but at the same time, I haven't. When I performed the shell game, people guessed voluntarily—it was purely a matter of willing buyer and willing seller, and the nature of it wasn't malicious at all!"
"Breaking the law is breaking the law, and not breaking the law is not breaking the law. What's this? You can't even figure out whether you've broken the law or not?" Lu Yu frowned and said.
"Then what do you plan to do? I want a lawyer, I want to call my second uncle, I want to notify my family! You people need to abide by reason and the law!"
"Of course we reason things out. That's why you're sitting here talking to me right now instead of being handcuffed in a precinct interrogation room filling out a case report."
A moment later, a sudden realization dawned on Zhao Yi. "Oh, you mean that extraordinary individuals are still strictly classified secrets right now and cannot be casually leaked? There are specialized departments to manage them, and I'll have to sign a confidentiality agreement, go to a secret base, and undergo training, right?"
"You can also choose to remain an ordinary person, as long as you keep the secret well and refrain from displaying your abilities in public from now on."

"We don't use coercion or force. As for what I said earlier about fraud, it was just a joke. In reality, all you need to do is write a statement of assurance, sign the relevant confidentiality agreements, and promise never to use your talent in public again. After that, you can go right back to living the life of an ordinary person."
"Is the supernatural really real? Is there true Qi? Are there martial artists? Immortals? Can we attain eternal youth? Can we live forever? Can we turn back time and manipulate creation?"
At that instant, Zhao Yi didn't rush to make a choice. Instead, he couldn't help but bombard them with questions. This was the supernatural—the true supernatural!
"Think carefully about whether you really want to ask these questions. Once you know certain things, you can no longer disentangle yourself from them, and you will never again be able to live the quiet life of an ordinary person!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yi shook his head decisively. "I know. I know everything, you can't fool me, I've thought about all of this over the past few days!"
"The sudden appearance of stars in broad daylight represents the recovery of spiritual energy, and the rainbows appearing all over the country are simply the result of spiritual energy liquefying and reflecting off dust particles in the atmosphere."
"Since the recovery of spiritual energy has already begun, a magnificent and turbulent era is bound to arrive in the future. Since the supernatural era has already come, burying my head in the sand like an ostrich and pretending nothing has happened is completely useless."
"The great trends of the world roll forward unstoppably; those who follow them prosper, and those who oppose them perish. I've read history books, you know. Even though I'm a science student, I'm quite familiar with history."
"At this juncture, just as the supernatural era is about to arrive, whoever seizes the initiative will become wealthy first. I want to get rich first too, and I even want to attain immortality!"
"Therefore, I am willing to join you!"
"Very well!"
Lu Yu directly opened the briefcase he was carrying and pulled out a stack of documents. "You can slowly study these on the way. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. It won't be too late to sign after we arrive at our destination."
Shortly after, Zhao Yi boarded Lu Yu's dedicated vehicle. Gazing at the guards who looked thoroughly professional, Zhao Yi fell into deep thought.
When Zhao Yi finished signing the documents in the car, Lu Yu formally shook his hand. "Welcome to the new world!"
...
"My talent should be related to space. I can directly store anything I touch or see into my personal dimensional space."
"Ever since I encountered that rainbow, I've been able to sense this space, as if it were naturally a part of my own body."
"Therefore, I can freely manipulate this personal space, including putting external objects into it and taking things out."
"This space is different from ordinary ones. I used to think that a space should be a three-dimensional volume with length, width, and height, but my personal space is variable."
"Its volume is fixed, but its size can be adjusted freely. The length, width, height, and even its external shape can be altered."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan spoke up. "Then, how large is its volume? And what is the cost of using it?"
"The volume isn't very large right now, only about five cubic meters. As for the cost, it depends on the size of the object and the range of use."
"When I performed the shell game, putting a small ball into the space took almost no effort at all. But if I try to store something over a hundred meters away into the space, it might instantly leave me with a sore back, aching limbs, and physical exhaustion."
"As for even greater distances, I can actually perceive them as well. Perhaps this is the effect of spatial force. Even with my eyes closed, I can clearly sense the path where the spatial force passes, and I can clearly 'see' the external situation in my mind."
"What is the maximum distance you can perceive?" Chu Xuan asked with curiosity.
"Within five hundred meters, I can perceive things effortlessly. At most, I'll just feel physically depleted, and a good meal will completely recover me. Last time, I tried to perceive something a thousand meters away, and as a result, while I did perceive it, I collapsed straight to the ground and had a nosebleed. It scared me so much that I rushed to the hospital for a full-body checkup. The doctor said nothing was wrong, but I was still too scared to do that again."
"That's completely normal. Since you haven't undergone formal cultivation yet, you can't be considered a true extraordinary being just yet—at best, you're merely an esper."
"Therefore, the energy consumed when you unleash your talent is borne entirely by your physical body, which is why you experienced such obvious discomfort."
"Once you achieve success in your cultivation, you will be able to substitute your consumption with true Qi, vital blood, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth," Xiong Yan said seriously.
"Oh, I see. Then Director, Minister, why did I awaken a spatial talent in the first place? Was it random?" Zhao Yi asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xiong Yan blinked. "There are many reasons. It's possible that you inadvertently formed a connection with a certain treasure that transformed from illusory to real, and the treasure entered a symbiotic state with you, granting you a spatial talent."
"It's also possible that the bloodline of Emperor Jiang from the myths and legends flows within your body, and upon encountering spiritual energy, your bloodline awakened."
"Emperor Jiang? The Twelve Ancestral Witches?"
...
"When you have free time, read more about mythology and history, and read fewer web novels. Emperor Jiang was one of the many titles of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan. Alternatively, it could have been the title held by the leaders of the human tribes during a certain period in antiquity, or perhaps a hereditary title passed down through generations by the chieftain of a certain human tribe in primeval times."
"In short, regardless of which scenario it is, Emperor Jiang is a legitimate ancestor of ours. Understand?"
