System: Card drawing in progress

Xi Lishen was the product of a marriage between two families. His father and mother were not outstanding in the family, nor were they capable of inheriting the family business.

Both families are wealthy and powerful, so it is not difficult to support them. They can also be used for marriage alliances. The family business needs the blood of the same clan to maintain it, so it is also good for them to reproduce offspring.

There is no love between the two people. Before they got married, they were playboys and their family controlled them strictly. After they got married, there were also requirements. They had to give birth to a child with special powers, and after the child was born, they could play with him as they pleased.

This kind of marriage relationship is taboo to have illegitimate children, regardless of gender, this is a basic requirement.

Although the two were rather useless and played very wildly, they were not prepared to cause trouble for the tribe members.

Xi Lishen was their first child. After he was born, he was thrown into the hands of the housekeeper. At that time, the housekeeper was still an old man, and Xi Lishen called him Uncle Liu.

It’s not that young Xi Lishen doesn’t long for his parents’ love. He sees others being picked up and loved by their parents, but he can only play alone in the house. He has only seen his parents a few times, so he doesn’t understand it very well.

The kindergarten teacher clearly said that parents love their children, but his parents are different. Children are very sensitive to adults' likes and dislikes, and he can feel his parents' indifference to him.

He was ignorant and cried and made a fuss, but it was all in vain and only caused disgust.

I studied hard and got the top spot in the grade, just because the teacher said that parents would like children with good grades.

Repeated losses, repeated sadness, and repeated cold violence made Xi Lishen completely disappointed.

Fortunately, he still has an old butler, who has almost watched Xi Lishen grow up and is full of pity for this child. People are all made of flesh and blood. He watched Xi Lishen grow from a tiny baby to a half-grown teenager with his own eyes, and accompanied him throughout the first half of his life.

He was very kind to him, so kind that he treated him as his own grandson, which made up for the family affection he longed for and prevented him from going astray.

But later, Liu Bo died. He was old and should have been enjoying his retirement. However, because he was worried about Xi Lishen, he did not resign and worked until the end of his life.

……

Shi Nianyi has returned home and was reading a book intently. This is how it looked to outsiders, but in fact, she was reading about Xi Lishen's experiences from childhood to adulthood.

She triggered the mission.

This task was very strange, and it was the first time she encountered it.

She felt that she had too little experience. She only drew one card and completed one task. This was the second card and the second task. This task was related to Xi Lishen.

The more cards you draw in the future, the more you will learn.

No more surprises.

She thought that the reason for triggering the mission was probably because she looked at Xi Lishen for one more second in the crowd!

She opened the panel again and looked at the task carefully. After confirming that she was not mistaken, Shi Nianyi nodded. This task was quite suitable for her profession.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest, teaching Xi Lishen, do you accept it? ]

She accepted it immediately at that time. She remembered what the reward she got after completing the first mission was. It was a talent card and a new superpower!

The panel changes again.

[Ding! The host has accepted the side quest. Due to the requirements and difficulty of this quest, this reward will be issued in advance. ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent card - Finishing Touch. (Note: If the task is not completed, this reward will be taken back)]

The system also gave her information about Xi Lishen, and the most important thing was that Xi Lishen actually had superpowers, but his powers were sealed.

Seeing this, Shi Nianyi stopped flipping through the book and prepared to take a closer look. She had previously read it hastily, just glancing at it and skipping over it, and might have missed a lot of important information.

After opening it again, she couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"The Xi family also looks down on warriors. We are all people who protect our country. Who is nobler than who?"

Just looking at their requirements, you can tell that they want to give birth to a person with special abilities, and they didn't mention a warrior at all.

The awakening of a superpower is a probability, and not everyone can become a superpower. She said this in advance. She also said that everyone can become a warrior.

The reason why there are still ordinary people is due to various factors.

The constant influx of monsters puts a lot of pressure on humans to keep them under control, and China is no exception.

Moreover, there are only a limited number of people with special abilities, and if one dies, there will be one less. They have no shortage of high-end combat power, but they lack middle and low-level combat power, and warriors fill this gap.

In addition to people with special abilities, China's army also includes warriors who work together to protect the country behind them.

They are all brothers who have risked their lives for each other. They don't care about the contempt chain. As long as they survive, it's fine. But the people in the rear are different. They eat and drink well, are not in danger, and have a lot of free time, so they create a contempt chain.

This is what their teacher said in school, and she remembered it very clearly.

Then look down:

"Fortunately, at least there was a butler who treated him sincerely and died of old age. He lived his life as usual the day before his death and did not suffer."

Fortunately, she didn't want to teach a demon with a beastly heart. His life would be unstable and he would cause trouble, making things worse. It would be difficult for him in the future.

Then, when he was sixteen, it was time for Xi Lishen to test his superpowers. She looked very carefully, but found nothing unusual. The only abnormality was that he did not detect any superpowers.

The unified awakening age set by China is eighteen years old. At this time, young people's development is complete, their bodies are basically stable, and it is also the best time for awakening superpowers.

The reason why Xi Lishen took the test at the age of sixteen was because of his family.

The Xi family is rich!

Rich and well-connected families will buy spiritual fruits, potions, and monster meat for their children; these are all things that can enhance the human body and are harmless to humans.

On the contrary, eating it has benefits.

After such training, they can test their awakened superpowers at the age of sixteen.

The unified awakening power of China is provided free of charge. As long as you are old enough, you can take the test. There is only one chance.

It costs a lot of money to conduct early testing on people like the Xi family. This money can be used to make up for part of the cost of unified materials for awakening superpowers, so that the country will not suffer too much loss.

Shi Nianyi was aware of this matter, it was no secret. Perhaps some people were as dissatisfied as the ungrateful person. Two years of training was not a short time, and it would be difficult for people with mediocre abilities to catch up.

She won't, the country doesn't owe them anything.

First there is compulsory education, then there is unified free awakening, and there are various subsidies for orphans, which is already very good.

No other country can achieve this.

After sighing in my heart, I continued reading.

Xi Lishen, who had not awakened his supernatural powers, was met with even more disregard and abuse.

They blamed him for disturbing them and called him a waste.

Afterwards, they chose to return to the home where they occasionally stayed once or twice to prepare for pregnancy.
