Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Rank Division

TL: Etude

Zhang Tiansheng looked at the crowd and continued to speak.

“The identities of the two people who passed out by the seaside have been confirmed; they are from the EL organization!

Last night’s situation was extremely bizarre.

The spaceship carrying the ET appeared by the sea, but the ET itself was nowhere to be found.

Only the battle traces were left on the scene, along with the two unconscious men and the huge footprints of the monster.

Through some methods, we managed to extract some information.”

Li Ye, who was sitting on the other side, spoke seriously at this moment.

Everyone’s eyes turned towards Li Ye.

“They were here to receive the ET that was about to land. This particular ET was a level 4 warrior. A level 4 warrior!?”

Upon hearing his words, some people looked puzzled, but Zhang Tiansheng, Luo Zhendong, and Luo Yue’s expressions grew solemn.

“From the extensive data we’ve collected, we can ascertain that these ETs are all referred to as warriors.”

Moreover, they have their own ranking system.

The weakest is level 1, and the strongest we’ve seen so far is level 5.

They, like us, have fully integrated with the virus, but they are of a different species.” Zhang Tiansheng’s gaze swept over the crowd as he slowly explained.

“I see.” Some people who hadn’t heard this information before now nodded in sudden realization.

“The global alliance has now established a rank chart. Those of us who have started training are all referred to as warriors, just like those ETs, ranging from level 1 to level 9. The same rank system applies to the mutant creatures.” As Zhang Tiansheng spoke, he pressed a button on a remote control.

Soon, a projection screen in front of them displayed a chart.

The chart categorized humans, ETs, and mutant creatures, all divided into nine levels.

“We base our division on combat power.

A level 1 warrior is defined as someone who has integrated the virus and has a combat power of less than 200.

Level 2 ranges from 200 to 299 combat power, level 3 from 300 to 399 combat power.

And level 4 ranges from 400 to 999 combat power.

1000 to 2000 is level 5.

……”

Everyone listened to Zhang Tiansheng while staring at the images displayed on the projection screen.

A brand-new rank division!

Previously, they had only used simple terms to describe their strength and that of the mutant creatures.

But this time, there was a unified global ranking system.

“This power classification is not something we came up with casually; it was compiled from information obtained from the ancient ruins of civilization.” Zhang Tiansheng continued speaking.

With this new rank division, it became much clearer to understand the approximate strength range of various mutant creatures.

“But how exactly is combat power measured?” a man couldn’t help but ask at this moment.

The curious eyes of the others also turned towards Zhang Tiansheng.

“The so-called combat power is actually overall combat power.

For example, when I wear the Type 2 Battle Suit, my combat power can reach 668, but without the suit, relying purely on my physical strength, it’s only 260.

And mutant creatures don’t have any armor; their combat power is purely based on their physical strength.

The method of measuring combat power is through the use of special smart goggles.”

As Zhang Tiansheng spoke, he snapped his fingers.

At this moment, several people carrying silver-white boxes walked in from outside.

“People from headquarters!?”

Luo Xue saw these individuals and was also surprised.

It turned out there were people from headquarters present today.

“Through the collaborative research of our global scientists, although we haven’t been able to develop the method to manufacture battle suits, we have made some progress.

These goggles feature transparent screen technology and are equipped with thermal imaging tracking and intelligent combat power calculation functions.

They represent the latest global research achievement!”

As he said this, Zhang Tiansheng’s face showed excitement.

Since the discovery of the ancient ruins, countless researchers around the world had been trying to study these technologies.

Especially the battle suit technology; if mass production of these suits could be achieved, it would significantly enhance the combat capabilities of humanity worldwide.

However, the technology proved elusive!

Currently, the battle suits could only be obtained through special trials in the ancient ruins.

As for the ETs’ spaceships, although intact ones had been acquired, making any meaningful technological breakthroughs remained very challenging.

The level of their technology was simply not on the same plane as Earth’s.

However, over the years, it wasn’t as if no progress had been made at all. The newly developed goggles were one such recent success.

“Try them out first,” Zhang Tiansheng said, taking a deep breath to calm himself before smiling slightly.

Soon, those people started placing the boxes on the tables and opened them one by one.

The crowd peered into the boxes and saw transparent goggles with a futuristic design.

“After putting them on, just press this button to activate them,” Zhang Tiansheng said, picking up a pair of goggles and putting them on, then pressing a small button on the side to activate them.

Luo Xue also picked up a pair, put them on, and activated them immediately.

“The screen has eye-tracking and finger recognition functions. You can use hand gestures along with eye movements to operate the features inside.”

Following Zhang Tiansheng’s instructions, Luo Xue began to operate the goggles.

Soon, she could clearly see through the goggles that thermal imaging tracking was activated, and upon locking onto a target, the combat power calculation began.

“Over 200.”

Without using the Type 2 Battle Suit, Zhang Tiansheng’s combat power was indeed just over 200, as he had said.

Looking at the others, lock-on icons and combat power calculations appeared as well.

“It really works! Mr. Zhang, this is a revolutionary product! In the past, those ETs also wore similar goggles!” Luo Zhendong was also excited at this moment.

With this device, it would be much easier to estimate the strength of mutant creatures when dealing with them!

“Alright, continue with what you were saying. After they received that ET, what exactly happened?”

As everyone was trying out the latest goggles, Zhang Tiansheng spoke to the man who had just been explaining.

“Alright. After they successfully received the ET, a giant mutant creature emerged from the sea.” As the man said this, his expression became serious.

“What did they see!?”

“A dragon!”
