Chapter 146: Chapter 96: Filing, Code Name: Cultivator!
"Comprehensive assessment, rating: D-level!"
"D-level?"
Lin Beichen looked confused.
He didn’t understand what the D-level represented, so he turned to Song Xiangdong and asked, "Chief Song, what is the destructive power of D-level?"
"It’s about the destructive power of a small firearm like a handgun."
"I see."
Lin Beichen nodded thoughtfully and then asked, "Chief Song, what level does D-level fall within all the ratings?"
"Lower middle level."
Song Xiangdong explained, "The ratings are sorted from low to high as F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, nine ratings in total. For instance, F-level is roughly the destructive power of blunt weapons like baseball bats; E-level is about the destructive power of sharp blades like controlled knives; C-level is similar to large firearms such as rifles and submachine guns. Above that are large military equipment and various missile destructive power ratings."
Upon hearing the detailed rating categories,
Lin Beichen felt his comprehensive rating was quite reasonable. After all, his current limit was just about to withstand a handgun.
For a moment, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but think, if he successfully enhanced Gold Attribute and Fire Attribute, and ultimately understood Thunder Skill to the extent of invoking thunder and lightning, what would his rating be?
S-level?
SS-level?
Even...
SSS-level?
Or surpassing the existing human weapon ratings?
While he was pondering,
Song Xiangdong said to him, "Student Lin Beichen, there’s something I need to inform you about. We need to file your rating later."
"File it?"
Lin Beichen felt he had heard many unfamiliar terms today.
Song Xiangdong explained, "It’s a normal procedure. All rated items will be filed, which means entered into the rating database and conveyed to various police systems for reference."
At this point, he added, "However, due to your special nature, I’ve decided to encrypt part of your file. Only those with high enough permissions can view your information. Those without sufficient permissions will only see your code name and rating."
Lin Beichen nodded understandably, realizing what was going on.
Before he could think further,
Song Xiangdong continued, "You think of a code name first. When the information is almost entered, you can fill in your code name on the file."
"Okay."
Lin Beichen agreed, his mind already racing. Code name? What code name should he choose?
Not long after,
A leader from the safety bureau came over with a computer and said to him, "Student Lin Beichen, take a look. This is your file. If you think there’s no problem, enter your code name and click upload."
"Thanks."
Lin Beichen politely thanked him, then picked up the computer and began to read.
[Name: Lin Beichen]
[Code name: ——]
[Age: 18]
[Occupation: Student]
[Test results: Body strength, spiritual power, endurance, reflexes, etc., are all higher than the average person but within the normal human range; Thunder Skill full-force hit shows value—900...]
[Comprehensive rating: D-level]
He glanced over it.
No problem.
Then he filled in the code name he had just thought of: "Code name... Cultivator."
Nice!
Lin Beichen reviewed his file again, satisfied, and clicked upload.
As he uploaded,
The rating database received its first human-rated entry.
Almost simultaneously,
All police department network systems received a completely identical message notification.
[Rating database update:]
[Cultivator, Rating: D-level!]
Upon seeing this update message, all officers felt puzzled and curious because generally, the updated files have detailed records, such as photos of the rated items and their characteristics. This type of entry with only a code name and rating... was the first time they had seen it.
What’s going on?
With doubts,
They tried to click on the update to see if there would be more detailed information, but the feedback was...
Uniformly: "Insufficient permissions. To view, please submit a request to your superior for permission!"
Why do we need permissions?
And it’s just a D-level rating...
Yet it requires such high permissions to view?
For a moment, they were dumbfounded, thinking: What weapon is this Cultivator product?
So mysterious!
Could it be some newly-developed firearm?
But for D-level firearms, there’s only handgun types, right?
This name is quite pretentious though...
Which weapon research institute came up with this?
...
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen, code-named Cultivator, had no idea that he was already considered a mysterious weapon by the police of Great Xia.
At this time, he was bidding farewell to Song Xiangdong.
"Chief Song, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first. My parents are still in the hospital, and I need to check on them."
"Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to take you there."
"Thank you, Chief Song."
Thinking about where this place is, Lin Beichen felt that it would be difficult to get a taxi after leaving the safety bureau, so he didn’t decline Song Xiangdong’s offer.
At this moment,
He suddenly remembered something and frowned, "Chief Song, there’s something I forgot to tell you."
"What is it?"
"At the time of rescuing my parents, I heard these people mention capturing the children for some kind of experiment and that they were aiming to capture me alive to take to their headquarters for experimentation."
Lin Beichen explained what he knew and then analyzed, "That means, the people we saw now are just the tip of the iceberg. As long as this organization exists, the little girl Tang Ru, who was lured into the cave, will still be at risk of being abducted again. My parents, and even I, are not safe."
