Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

"Haha, don't be nervous. You and the Explorers Guild have a connection."

He walked up to Sean, reached out his hand and patted Sean on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "My dear Sean, your grandfather was once one of us."

Malone's words shocked Sean. He had never thought that his grandfather, who worked hard on the farm, was actually a member of the Explorers Guild.

Although in his memory, his grandfather always kept his mouth shut and rarely talked about his past, Sean had tried to ask his grandfather about his experiences when he was young many times, but he was always evaded with various excuses.

"My grandpa? Then why?" Sean tried to organize his words.

"He quit voluntarily. Your grandfather was tired of his life as an explorer, so he voluntarily erased his memory and became a farmer again. It's a pity to waste such a brilliant genius." Malone said with a nostalgic look on his face, as if he knew Sean's doubts.

"Everyone has his own choice. We respect the decision made by Old Oak. His standard equipment is still in the storage room. If you can join us, you will inherit it."

Malone gave Sean a moment to digest the information, then said, "Come on, follow me."

As he spoke, Malone led Sean out of the hall and came to the martial arts arena in the backyard of the guild.

In the martial arts arena, more than a dozen children aged eleven or twelve were doing horse stance. They looked at Sean with curious eyes, as if they were guessing his identity and origin.

President Malone led Sean aside and stood still.

With a slight exertion of strength, a stream of white energy flew out of his hand and instantly shattered the target in the distance.

"This~this..." Sean pretended to be shocked as he looked at the scene, his mouth wide open.

President Malone explained: "As you can see, there are supernatural phenomena in this world that are different from the scientific side. The source of all this can be traced back to the war a hundred years ago. It was a war between two worlds. The world of technology and the world of magic intersected, collided and rubbed, and the conflict broke out."

"Plane War?" Sean appropriately addressed the topic.

"Yes! The Plane War, the Plane War that brought together all the countries in the world. In the end, we won! After using nuclear bombs, we successfully repelled them. The nuclear bombs destroyed the plane channel, and the pace of plane fusion also stopped."

"When we were cleaning up the battlefield, we found that the areas where the planes were originally blended were divided into different spaces that existed attached to the main world we were in."

"This should be the different dimension that the sacred tree took me through." Sean thought, nodding on the surface and listening carefully.

"So, is it that an alien space has appeared in the blocked area over in the coal mine forest?" Sean asked his question.

"That's right. The area over there in the blocked coal mine forest is a sign of unusual movements in another space. Our Explorers Guild has been monitoring and studying these other spaces, trying to find their connection and patterns with the main world. These other spaces contain all kinds of resources and opportunities, but they are also full of unknowns and dangers," President Malone explained.

"It's just that the passage created by the spatial crack in the coal mine forest is not stable. The passage leading to the different space is full of void strong winds, and no living creature can pass through it."

"No wonder I didn't see any trace of Explorers Guild members in that alien space. So that's why." Sean thought to himself.

"So there is an alien space with a stable channel to our world? Then the blockade of the coal mine forest will continue like this." Sean drew inferences from one example.

"For a channel like this where the unstable overflow of alien space energy tears the space barrier with the real world, we usually block the surrounding area, erase the memories of irrelevant people, and wait for the space energy to run out, and it will heal automatically." Malone continued to explain.

"These are usually left to newcomers. If you join us, although it's a waste of your talent to do this kind of thing, you still have to go through the process. Only after you have enough qualifications can you enter the alien space with us to explore. That's the romance of a man!" Malone laughed.

"Judging from the seniority, this department is subject to strict regulations and supervision. It's not just a one-man show. Also, no government organization would feel at ease with a department that possesses supernatural powers," Sean analyzed in his mind.

"Explore into another dimension? Why? Will it be dangerous?" Sean asked like a newbie.

"Before answering this question, let's do something first." Malone took out something similar to a thermometer from his pocket. "Hold this device, close your eyes, concentrate, feel the flow of Qi in your body, and control it to flow toward your hands."

Sean did as he was told. A warm current that flowed through his body during the first sacrifice appeared in Sean's consciousness, and Sean controlled it to move towards the device in his hand.

A bright white light lit up, and the mercury-like liquid inside the device slowly rose, and finally slowly stopped at the top of the third scale, less than the level of the fourth scale.

"Peak of D-level." Malone smiled with satisfaction.

"What is this?" Sean asked the question in his mind.

"As you can see, this is a small device that measures the comprehensive strength of people with special abilities. I believe you have also seen the levels of monster strength just now, and we have also divided the ability levels accordingly."

"So I'm D-rank? What about the president?"

"I'm old, and I've just reached the B-level." Ma Long said in a somewhat Versailles manner.

Sean immediately gave Malone an admiring look, which made him smile.

"The strength of a branch president has just reached B-level, so the legendary S-level should not exist in human society." Sean made calculations.

"Do you know how to improve your abilities?"

This put Sean in a difficult position. After all, all his strength was obtained through the gift of the sacred tree, and innate awakening was just an excuse.

Sean pretended not to understand and shook his head with a frown.

"This is why I want you to take the test. Have you ever thought about the source of your abilities? Except for those who are born with this awakening, where the body senses the magic factor by chance and awakens the ability on its own, the magic in our bodies is acquired later. All of this is thanks to the magic organs of the monsters in the alien space. This is why we want to explore the alien space."

"First, it is for the cultivation resources there. Second, it is to explore the spirit of scientific research and find out the reason why the alien space was formed. Third, it is also to check for hidden dangers in advance and prevent creatures from the alien space from invading the world. Fourth, it is also to regulate the behavior of people with special abilities. Every person with special abilities must be registered with the Explorers Guild. They are not allowed to take the initiative to attack ordinary people, and they are not allowed to disclose the secrets of supernatural phenomena."

"Magic organ? Cultivation resources?..." There was too much information at once, and all kinds of questions hit Sean's head.

"Yes, after the Plane War ended, when we explored these alien spaces, we discovered that the laws of the two different planes in the alien space blended together. The chemical elements in reality and a particle we call 'magic factor' in the magic plane are indistinguishable from each other, and the chemical reaction here is greatly reduced. The larger the alien space, the more severe the suppression of chemical reactions. Ordinary creatures cannot stay here for long."

"I understand. This is the reason why the match went out and the flashlight dimmed when we were exploring the alien space that day. That layer of white light turned into a protective film to help me adapt to the environment of the alien space? No wonder there is a cooling time for exploration." Sean got the answer to the doubts he encountered in the previous exploration.

Malone continued, "The creatures that remain here have adapted to this change in the environment. The magic organs in their bodies are not like those of the magical beasts in the magic plane. They cannot be absorbed and utilized by humans here. The group of people who discovered this secret became the first group of people with special abilities."

"In order to prevent this group of people with special abilities from getting out of control, our Explorers Guild was born. To be honest, this was the original goal of our organization."

"Then why don't you reveal this secret to the public? Instead of eliminating all signs of the existence of supernatural phenomena, isn't it good for everyone to practice it?" Sean asked, pretending to be a young man with a strong sense of justice.

"Kid, things are not as simple as you think. The word 'interest' is the most touching." Ma Long sighed and stopped explaining.

"It seems there is something unspeakable here." Sean took note of it silently.
