I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with President Zhao's indescribable look, President Jiang cleared his throat.

"Well, as for the equipment they want, we will definitely have it. I have great confidence in the strength of our research institute.

Now that we have all started to work hard, with so many task forces, there must be one that can produce results, right?

Alas, I have no choice. If we don’t recruit more people to the Operations Department, Mr. Fang will not move.”

President Zhao, I have nothing to say.

·······

President Jiang's live broadcast and the official website of the Psychic Association both clearly stated that every citizen of Xia Country has one free opportunity to awaken, but many people are talking about it but not many actually take action to do it, and everyone is in a wait-and-see state.

On the one hand, they may not know whether such new things are good or bad, especially operations that stimulate the brain, which are too risky for them.

On the other hand, there are people who lead the rhythm, spread rumors and slander the purpose of the association's doing so, and even link it to certain experiments, advocating panic and making people afraid to be the first to try new things.

"Just wait for others to try. There's no need to rush."

"There's nothing wrong with my current life. It doesn't matter whether I have spiritual power or not."

"After all that, they didn't say what the mental power is for. What about the other world? It's so dangerous. If you really awaken, the country will arrange for you to go to the other world to fight monsters. Would it be appropriate for you not to go?"

After the current situation was made clear, some people did find that there were areas in the city where they lived that were inexplicably cordoned off and blocked off. Those places that were originally disguised now clearly had signs of the Psychic Association posted.

But it is not easy for ordinary people to enter the secret realm. After all, even if the secret realm controlled by the Psychic Association is not dangerous, it must be provided to the action team to train their mental strength. Now resources must be drawn out for the awakening of the people. Psychic power is an indispensable and important resource.

After some time had passed.

Those who are willing to take the lead in trying to awaken and have successfully awakened for various reasons have started their new life and embarked on a different path.

Those who did not awaken did not feel any changes in their lives. Apart from hearing about psychic power on the Internet or in other people's discussions, the matter did not seem to have much to do with them, and their interest gradually faded.

Xu Xifeng, who had just graduated from college and was unemployed at home, was still in good spirits after watching videos all night. His mother knocked on the door and called him out for breakfast.

Father Xu sat at the table, reading the news on his phone. Mother Xu arranged the soy milk, fried dough sticks and steamed buns neatly, then sat next to her son who was also reading his phone, and suggested:

"Xiao Feng, how about we try that, that mental power?"

Xu Xifeng chewed a bun in his mouth, looked away from the phone screen and looked at his mother in surprise.

"Mom, hehe, you also understand mental power?"

Xu's mother glanced at her son with a serious face. "Why don't I understand? The news these days also said that people are talking about it everywhere. Why don't I understand?"

Xu Xifeng originally had this idea, and who knows how excited he was after watching the live broadcast. But he watched a lot of videos, and the mixed reviews of awakening by the anchors made him hesitate.

Mother Xu pushed Father Xu's arm and signaled him to speak with her eyes.

Father Xu put down his phone and looked at his son

"Your mom is right. You seemed very interested when you watched the live broadcast that day. If you are interested, go and give it a try. Your mom and I support you."

Father Xu thinks it’s okay to let his son do something that the country is taking the lead in doing. In any case, it’s better than him lying in bed and watching videos after eating every day!

Both the Xu couple have formal jobs, so their son will never lack food at home. However, their son's idle and muddled appearance really makes them, as parents, feel uncomfortable.

But they dared neither urge nor ask.

"And the news said that we have a branch in Fengyuan City. This is not available everywhere. It is also God's will."

Xu Xifeng gulped down the soy milk in the bowl and burped.

"Aren't you worried that I'll be forced by that association to work in some other world? And lose my life there?"

When Mr. Xu heard this, his face froze, but he said

"They have millions of soldiers and they don't need you. Haha, I'm not worried. They won't cause trouble for themselves."

"Don't worry, Mom won't worry."

Xu Xifeng "..."

Persuaded by his parents, Xu Xifeng went to the official website to queue up, and it is expected to be his turn the day after tomorrow afternoon.

Father Xu pushed his glasses and said, "Well, it's OK. We don't have to wait long..."

Xu Xifeng: "Many people on the Internet say that they are afraid of the immaturity of the technology, the side effects, and the restrictions on their freedom after awakening. In any case, many people dare not try it. Maybe when more people awaken in the future, everyone will not object."

Mother Xu curled her lips and said, "I think this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later."

Father Xu also nodded and said, "I think so too. If you move faster, you will be ahead of them. By the time those people have hesitated enough, you will have already walked ahead.

Let's take a step back and say that if we fail this time, we can still ask how others prepare, and we can follow their lead next time."

Xu Xifeng: “…!”

Once you have queued up, you can just wait patiently.

On that day, Xu's father and mother accompanied their son to the Fengyuan City branch.

There is a building more than ten stories high next to the government office area. The four large characters "Psychic Association" on the roof are very eye-catching.

After finding a place to park the car nearby, the family walked into the crowded first-floor lobby.

Xu Xifeng stared in astonishment, "Huh! You still say there are not enough people?"

Father Xu pushed him and said, "Go in quickly and don't miss your turn. Your mother and I will wait for you outside..."

Xu Xifeng squeezed in, and Xu's parents, who were originally a little worried, were no longer anxious because of this scene.

"I came here with my son early this morning. It's already noon, and I saw one successful one."

"Ah, what about your son? Hasn't he come out yet?"

"Yes, he went home on his own because he was in a bad mood."

"Why don't you go back and comfort her instead of chatting here?"

"Just do this for fun, I don't really expect it to succeed."

"You are such a thoughtful auntie."

"About a hundred people went in this morning, and only one succeeded. It's not surprising that my son didn't succeed. Hey, hey, what do you think of your daughter? Are you sure?"

"Who knows if this is certain? She's been in there for an hour and she hasn't come out yet..."

"Don't worry, the staff just said that the time required will vary depending on the individual's situation. Besides, you still have to queue up to get in."

"Alas! It's not easy for these kids to awaken, let alone those of us who are older."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with age. If my daughter fails this time, I'll give it a try too. It doesn't cost anything to try it once anyway."

"Hey, man, aren't you afraid of any sequelae?"

The man who was thinking of trying it out glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? If I were afraid of this, would I bring my daughter here?"

"Uh, yes, yes, yes, just ignore what I said."
