Chapter 1 Beauty at Hand

  Cockroaches are humans cockroaches, humans are the earths cockroaches... Of course, this is just to praise their powerful vitality.

  Evolution, a word that has been yearned for by humans, from hundreds of millions of years ago, humans have been constantly evolving and developing to adapt to the ever-changing environment. Dinosaurs, those powerful creatures that once roamed the ancient continent, became extinct because they were unable to evolve in response to sudden changes in their environment.

  And yet, this seemingly weak human being has gone through countless storms and still enjoys life, in a certain sense, even better.

  Survival of the fittest, natural selection, survival of the strongest, and extinction of the weakest!

  For nearly six thousand years, humans seem to have been able to control their own direction of development. Highly developed technology has given humans unparalleled confidence, and the pressure brought by nature is getting smaller and smaller. But has evolution stopped here?

  The answer is definite, the pace of evolution will never stop, and it has always been selective. Just as not all deer become giraffes, and not all apes become modern humans, a group of people have quietly begun to change, they are higher forms of life than the original human beings, calling themselves "New Humans"!

  The world is still the same world, but the elements inside have changed.

  In the year 2010, ten years after Qian Xi, life was still proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Earth was still revolving around the Sun in a repetitive cycle. However, nothing remains unchanged, and even the Earth is moving in a translational motion through the universe along with the solar system. Of course, time and space are meaningless to it.

  The commotion of the small creatures above her was as insignificant to her as dust, and the "apocalypse" that people had imagined was already an old joke that no one wanted to mention.

  But some things have indeed changed, in most peoples unawareness...

  Ten years, neither long nor short, but for some people, it can be a lot of preparation, if they can still be called "human" at that time.

  Life is really boring, to be exact, high school life is too boring. The third year of high school is like a nightmare. Quality education? I feel like my quality is constantly decreasing.

  After lunch, I didnt want to take a nap, so I picked up my books and headed towards the classroom. These were my only two options: going back to the dorm to eat and sleep or studying. Of course, Im not some diligent student who loves learning. One physics book, one chemistry book... in between them was a fantasy novel "The Dragons Crossing". Ah, if only I could be as carefree as the protagonist, it would be great! Not to mention all those beautiful women, just having one person pay attention to me would make life feel like heaven. Theyre ancient martial arts masters, while Im just an ordinary person, and so are the people around me.

  Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Rui, a third-year high school student from Penglai No. 1 Middle School. You must have heard of Penglai, right? A long, long time ago, eight bird-like people flew away from the sea, and to this day, its still being researched what kind of flying tools they used. Nevertheless, Id like to thank those eight predecessors for making our small city famous. When I was young, I would often search mountains and rivers, hoping to find some magical medicine or elixir left behind by them for me, their junior. However, the narrow-mindedness of immortals is well-known, so I naturally returned disappointed.

  Our school is also a key university, but this is not the most famous place. The most famous thing is that the boys dormitory of our school is just opposite to the girls dormitory of the Municipal Art Academy!

  This is absolutely a gospel for high school students in their third year who are struggling, after all, if you cant eat the "grapes", looking at them is also good!

  Its scorching hot at noon, but there are still people making noise in the classroom. Whats even more annoying is that our class teacher is so perverted, organizing a democratic anonymous vote to write down "unfair things" in the class on small pieces of paper. And whats even more ridiculous is that I dont know who I offended, but someone actually reported my "fantasy" to the teacher. You say, isnt it courting death for a third-year high school student to get caught? The "old monkey" who had high hopes for me was furious, no wonder my grades have been slipping.

  However, upon entering, I found that the situation wasnt as bad as I had imagined. It was our two class flowers. Do you know why I never go to watch those coquettish women from the art school across the street? Its because the two girls sitting in front of me are much prettier than those women!

  Yan Yan, 18 years old, is not only the beauty of our class but also the school flower. Using the term "school flower" might be a bit vulgar, her stunning looks are renowned throughout the entire high school community. Even those guys from Second High School and Third Middle School know about her existence. Moreover, the principal of Art School No. 1, an old lecher, specifically visited her and her parents to persuade her to develop a career in the entertainment industry, which would undoubtedly be promising. Unfortunately, she wants to be a professional woman who values both intelligence and beauty, and doesnt want to rely on her looks to make a living.

  I heard her mom is a doctor, but being a doctor isnt anything special, and please dont associate it with plastic surgery or anything like that, because thats not popular in China. What Im trying to say is that her mom really knows how to take care of her daughter - her skin and figure are absolutely unlike those of an eighteen-year-old girl, and combined with her heavenly looks, shes truly stunning, sigh, Im stunned too.

  Our beautiful Yanda, apart from studying is exercising, not too interested in romance between men and women, maybe no man has caught her eye yet, usually very gentle, as long as you dont show your tail!

  Fortunately, I have self-awareness. Women like that are troublesome, and I dont have the ability to deal with them. Unlike some people who always like to fly into the fire, you say flying insects are fine, at least they enjoy the moment when they fly into the fire, and their wishes are also fulfilled. Unfortunately, those brave men are more miserable, being beaten by "Old Monkey". Old Monkey is our "respected" head teacher, actually shes a female teacher, just looks ugly and has a bad temper, so theres such a classic nickname. However, you have to admit that shes a responsible good teacher!

  Dont get any wrong ideas, this little girl is a martial arts expert, whether its wushu, karate or taekwondo Im not quite sure, but in any case, several idle men (referring to middle school boys) can only lie down and admit defeat. However, for fear of affecting her figure, she isnt particularly focused on this either, just using it as a means of exercise and self-defense.

  Ye Rut, although surnamed Ye, has no blood relation with me or my brother. I wish we had such a relative, haha, blood relations are not the issue. Another beauty in our class, though not as stunning as Yan Yan, has a figure that can topple cities and is almost flawless. This beauty is also quite outgoing and doesnt mind you joking around with her, but if you think she has a crush on you, youre dead wrong. At least I personally think shes the type of woman who plays with men, and its hard to take advantage of her. It seems like she doesnt even have a boyfriend, this kind of woman is not someone ordinary men can handle!

  As for beauty, I really havent seen anyone more beautiful than Yan Yan, but Ye Rus strong point lies in her figure and she pays more attention to dressing up than Yan Yan. She wants to be beautiful, but also cant let the old monkey look at her with disapproval, so she has to put in some thought!

  I heard that this womans family is very wealthy, her father is a real estate investor, and he rushed into our city some time ago. Her mother is also a fashion designer, they are all big shots!

  These two women are the focus of attention, one gentle and one charming. You say, these two beauties sitting in front of you on a hot summer day, how can this day be spent?

  Theres one thing that must be declared, these two beauties also transferred to our school in the third year of high school. Why they transferred to the same class, sat at the same desk and ended up in front of me can only be attributed to fate. If everyone insists on saying my charm is limitless, Ill humbly accept it.

  If theres a flaw to beautiful girls, its their academic performance. Yan Yan is okay, just average, but Ye Ru is much worse, below average, fortunately not at the bottom!

  It seems that a womans appearance and exam ability are inversely proportional, but why are some of the dinosaur sisters in our class not doing well either?

  But this is also good, if they are excellent in every way, wouldnt that be overwhelming? Its not fair to the vast number of male compatriots either!

  "Beautiful ladies, good afternoon! Rarely see two of you working so hard!" Summer is great, wonderful youth!

  I think this Yan Yan is comparable to Xue Er, but unfortunately her family situation seems ordinary. A rich man who ranks among the top in the country would not stay in a small place like this.

  "Cut it out, youre just inexperienced, but we sisters are actually very diligent!"

  "Alas, unfortunately someones grades just arent improving!" I teased her in a sarcastic tone, anyway Im not pursuing them, so I dont have to be so careful!

  "Alright, you stinky Ye Lui, how dare you expose me! Lets fight!" Perhaps because of our familiar relationship with the front and rear seats, our relationship is still pretty good, especially Ye Ru, who doesnt even take care of someone with the same surname as me, such as being my girlfriend.

  Even if shes a beauty, I wont take a beating for nothing, Ill fight back!

  But maybe its because of the heat, and with only the two of them in the classroom, the two beauties were dressed very casually, through the gaps in their clothes, I caught a glimpse of a snowy white patch, wow, what great eyesight!

  "Alright, alright, Yezi, hes sneaking a peek at you!" Yanyan jiejie was indeed sharp-eyed.

  "What? So all crows under the sun are black after all! Look, Ill let you take a good look!"

  Seeing Ye Rus angry face and Yan Yans giggling to the point of breathlessness, I hastily waved my hand. "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, and since the forces are equal, lets just call it a draw."

  "What?" Ye Ru couldnt believe her ears!

  "Yaner, did you hear that? He actually said to call it quits! Are we going to teach him a lesson or not?" As she spoke, Ye Rus eyes flashed with a strange light. Seeing this, Yan Yans face changed and she suddenly laughed, "Alright, alright, it wasnt intentional. Lets just punish him by making him help us with our homework."

  Wow, Im here to watch!

  "Beautiful ladies, it should be break time at noon. Why dont you take a rest and Ill take a rest too." I pointed to what was in my hand.

  "Youre really bold, and you never learn from your mistakes. Be careful or the teacher will catch you." Yanyan said with a smile.

  "Alas, a dull senior high school life needs some fun, others are in pairs enjoying their two-person world, I can only enjoy the spiritual world."

  "Ah, then you go find one too."

  "Alright, alright, chasing after girls is too much trouble, Im not capable of that."

  "Is that so? I see youre quite skilled at talking your way out of things, and taking advantage of others too!" Yeh Ru retorted sharply from the side.

  "Unexpectedly, purely coincidental, and if theres any similarity, its just a coincidence."

  "You, you want to come again!" Ye Dabaos beauty stood with her hands on her hips, but this made her full chest more prominent, which was a treat for my eyes. Moreover, the beautys anger had a unique flavor to it.

  "Alright, thats enough, you two cant stop talking once you meet. Yezi, stop messing around, these assignments are due this afternoon!" Only then did Yeru let me off the hook.

  The two girls started discussing again, dizzy, no need to be so serious, just find a finished copy and copy it, you cant say, we just rely on listening in class, we can mix up the top three, mens brains are good at using, especially science.

  They watch theirs, I watch mine. The male lead in the show is really something. If I had half his skills, the first thing Id do is take care of the two women in front of me. That way, Ill have a "Xue Er" and a "Xiang Zi". Then, Ill go to kindergarten and reserve two little girls for future preparations. Hehe, its absolutely delightful.

  I was so absorbed that I completely forgot about everything around me, but at this time, the surroundings of Yan Yan and Ye Ru were a bit strange, and even on a hot day, it was a bit chilly.

  The eyes of the two people both had a captivating flavor, looking at me and then at each other, and after a while, they returned to normal, and the air around them seemed to flow again.

  Achoo! Which beauty is thinking of me, anyway, Im too lazy to care now, its at a critical moment... nothing, fainted, why did it end like that, whats next?!

  "Ugh, I should have rented it together with you. This is the opposite effect of being too hasty. Its better to take it slow. Looking at the time, theres still more than an hour before class. Im not interested in reading books anyway. Looking outside, that terrifying sun is shining crazily, and my idea of going back home has disappeared. Looking at those two beauties in front of me, I suddenly think this isnt so bad after all."

  To be honest, although Ive been sitting at the same table as them for half a year now and were all familiar with each other, this is still the first time weve hung out just the three of us. As someone who values face, Im actually quite particular about it - to the point where I wouldnt dare to pursue a girl even if I wanted to. Seeing so many people fail before me made me lose my courage too. But ever since those two appeared, my standards have risen and Ive become more discerning - ordinary girls just dont cut it for me anymore. So thats how I ended up spending another half year in this state of limbo, one of the few single guys during the best time to fall in love in our third year of high school.

  The voices of two beautiful women sound really good.

  I deliberately snapped a photo of Fei Yan, and the beauty turned her head to look at me, "Whats wrong, why dont you continue watching yours?"

  "Ah, this... after finishing reading, I wanted to ask if you have any extracurricular books." I tried my best to suppress my voice, not letting it tremble, because the tactile sensation from earlier told me that her skin was extremely soft, simply top-notch, but in this weather, its actually so cool!!!

  "Hmph, you think were like you, slacking off every day? Dont think that just because youre smart, you can get away with not putting in effort. This young lady will surpass you sooner or later!" Ye Ru glared at me fiercely, her eyes cold and icy.

  At this time, I completely didnt have the heart to appreciate such beauty, my bones were chilled to the core. I associated it with some vampire-like things, and all I had in mind was one thought: get out of here as fast as possible!

  "This, this, Ill go rent another one." Before I could finish speaking, I dashed out like crazy. If measured, Im sure I would have broken my 100-meter dash record. The sun outside suddenly felt so warm and lovely.

  As soon as I disappeared, the two girls burst out laughing. "Yezi, youre so bad! Why did you scare him on purpose? Hes just an ordinary person!"

  "Hmph, who let this kid take advantage of us? Besides, we were discussing things nicely, but he suddenly stirred up trouble. How can we not teach him a lesson?"

  "Youre too mischievous."

  "Yaner, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know. This foolish kid will go back and probably think its just an illusion."

  "Could he possibly...?" Yanyans words suddenly made the atmosphere quiet down.

  "Dont think about it anymore, his 18th birthday was over half a month ago and he didnt react at all. If he were really one of us, he would have awakened by now!"

  "But its also possible to wake up after the age of 18!" Yan Yan still refused to give up her last hope, they had been waiting for half a year, but in vain, she didnt want to accept!

  "The probability of awakening after the age of 18 is very low, and even if one does awaken, they will only possess inferior abilities, which are of no help to us." Yeru said this with determination, but also with a tone of great regret.

  "We wasted more than half a year here, but still failed, I really cant accept it!"

  At this time, Ye Ru looked at Yan Yan with a serious face and said: "Yaner, you wont have fallen in love with that silly Ye Lei, will you? This is impossible!"

  "Its none of your business, if anyone has a relationship with him, it would be you." Yanyan retorted immediately.

  "Hmph, Im not interested in ordinary people!" Ye Rus tone wasnt strong enough.

  "Is that so? With your personality, if someone dared to take advantage of you like that, theyd probably have been frozen out by you a long time ago."

  "Whats she looking at? Thats Ben, and hes in a good mood today, plus theyre classmates, so she wont bother with him!" Yurus eyes were slightly dazed.

  "Yexi, why dont we give him another chance tonight and see if he can wake up!" Yanyan seemed to have made a very big decision.

  "Yaner, you didnt fall in love with that idiot hero who saved the beauty just because of what happened that day, did you?" Ye Ru looked her partner up and down, an elite among the new humans, yet she actually liked a regular human.

  Since the year 2000, some humans have undergone mutations, allowing their spiritual plane to connect with subspace. They can mobilize energy from that space and bring it to this plane for use. The shape and abilities of these energies vary depending on the individuals body. These energy bodies are collectively known as "Messengers." This group of people calls themselves the New Humans. Her messenger is the "Ice Queen," who can manipulate cold air. She awakened at 16 years old. Its said that those who awaken earlier have stronger powers. Generally, awakening occurs before the age of 18, especially in the month leading up to their 18th birthday. Those who awaken after turning 18 have much weaker powers and hold a lower status within the community, although this is not absolute.

  Yan Yan was awakened at the age of ten, from confusion to continuous searching. Through the internet, she learned some information that seemed magical to others, but it was actually a message from her own kind. She began her search journey, but for a student, this was not an easy thing to do, and she couldnt escape social existence.

  Just as Ye Ru was bewildered by her own powers, Yan Yan suddenly appeared. Her arrival gave herself a direction, and it turned out that they were not monsters, but new humans evolved from them. No one knew why this would happen.

  Although there are already many such organizations, it is a common rule among the new humans that they do not want ordinary humans to know of their existence for the time being, and ordinary humans cannot see the messengers of the new humans. The two of them began searching for other companions. Half a year ago, they discovered that there was an overwhelmingly powerful aura here, and immediately found a way to move here. Exploration is one of the special abilities of the Holy Girl, but so far it has been unsuccessful, and that aura also disappeared some time ago.

  As for Ye Wei, they originally thought he was the target because Yan Yan sometimes felt a strong and terrifying energy on him. However, an accident made them lose confidence, and this guy was indeed as brave as imagined... but he was knocked unconscious by those thugs in just a few moves, and in the end, it was up to them to resolve the fight. As a result, Ye Wei thought Yan Yan was some kind of Taekwondo master or something, and fainted.

  "Yezi, you dont know, when he hugged me and blocked others fists for me, that warmth is really unforgettable!" Yan Yans eyes sparkled again, and she fell into the memories of that time. Although they were new humans, they were extremely curious and cautious about the opposite sex at this age. Once they broke through this defense line, they would open their hearts to that person, becoming the most eager to be moved and also the easiest to be moved girls.

  "Cut, I only remember him being beaten like a pigs head, without even getting a single punch or kick back, if he does this heroic act several times, hell definitely be done for!" Ye Ru said with a tough tone on her mouth, but in her heart, she still had some nostalgia. She didnt expect that when facing so many thugs, he would actually stand up for her, but why didnt he hug her? Thinking of this, Ye Ru couldnt help but pout.

  "So, even if its just to repay his feelings, Ive decided to help him out once and let him see the power of our messengers!"

  "This, its not good for ordinary people to see."

  "Ye Zi, dont you want him to be our companion? I think there are many people with such abilities, and we must increase our companions to protect ourselves!" Yan Yan woke up early and after various investigations and observations, found that many strange phenomena around the world were caused by new humans, including evil ones.

  "Alright, alright, my big sister, geez!"

  After the two girls made up their minds, they continued with their painful studies. Well, new humans also need to take university entrance exams, and ordinary peoples lives still have to go on.
