Regardless of whether or not they had misunderstood the Goddess's message, the meeting finally selected more than ten qualified people. Lucia's path to become an Extraordinary would begin today.
"It's a blessing for the country. No matter what background these people have, find out their internal relationship …"
Although Lucia's technological level was slightly inferior, it was only when compared to the top level. These fourteen people would be thoroughly investigated by Lucia from their family history to the ancestral origin in their genes.
Between any two things, as long as one was willing to put in the effort to search, one would definitely be able to find a faintly discernible connection.
Not to mention these fourteen people, if one wanted to, one would be able to pull out hundreds of love and hate stories from the ancestors of these fourteen people.
For Mizuno, whether it was these fourteen people or the others who had not been selected, at the moment, it didn't seem like they could quickly upgrade their Ice Escape. If one were to talk about the people who had the most affinity with ice and were in contact with it in daily life, apart from the scientific personnel of the two poles, it would be the employees working in the cold storage.
However, with the power of the whole country and the attention of the whole world, the speed of upgrading was naturally a different matter. Moreover, with such an Extraordinary in her hands, Lucia's mind should be more active.
The attention of the central authorities of the various countries would shift to what they should 'pay attention to', the life and death struggle between the exposure of one's identity and the improvement of one's strength.
"Find the first tool to go into battle, the other thirteen will be backup." Mizuno decided on the arrangement of the tools in an instant.
He was like a lazy farmer who buried the seeds in the ground and then did not care about them, relying on the weather to make a living.
In any case, the fertilization and care would be carried out by the government, so he only needed to provide some external help at the right time.
The fourteen people did not know that their future would be decided so easily, but even if they knew, they would still attribute it to the Ice Goddess's unfathomable will of God.
Wasn't it normal for Gods to decide the fate of mortals at will?
Different from the others who had only been given cold medicine, these fourteen people were immediately arranged to be sent to the best hospital, enjoying the best medical resources.
Although they had been selected by the Ice Goddess and should not be attacked by low temperatures, they had not truly become Extraordinary yet, and it would not be good if they suffered unnecessary damage due to negligence.
"Your body temperature is normal. Do you need some lunch?"
In the ward, a young nurse accompanied Yevgenia's bed. Her expression was attentive and her tone was gentle. She did not look like a woman from a fighting race, but more like a canary from Southeastern Europe.
"No, thank you."
Yevgenia lay on the white bed, enjoying the comfortable warmth in the room.
This was countless times more comfortable than the heating pipes in the sewers. The semi-underground pipes could only provide basic heating … Or rather, they had to maintain a certain safe distance, or else their lives would be in danger if they were too close. Many children had been burned by the pipes in their sleep, and there was no such thing as a precise temperature control in a ward.
He had only been chosen and had yet to become a true Transcendent, but he was already receiving such treatment.
She felt like she was in a dream. Her past life was a dream, and now it was also a dream. The double dream squeezed and tore her apart, causing her to lose herself in the magical reality.
If he did not persevere at the last moment and fell, the opportunity would have slipped away. Moreover, he was afraid that there would not be another opportunity like the Selection of the Snow Goddess to change his fate …
Fortunately, everything was over. She was no longer Yevgenia, but Yevgenia.
She did not know what difficulties and obstacles were waiting for her, and she was not the only one who was chosen to be admitted to the hospital. Yevgenia's heart was pounding. If only one lucky person was chosen, would she be knocked down from the top of the clouds and have to wander again?
No, she could definitely do it.
It was not determined by family background, nor was it favored by wealth. The Selection of the Snow Goddess was the fairest opportunity in the world to change one's fate.
Most people were ecstatic because they were chosen, only one father was frowning.
"Dad, why are you unhappy?" Young Liza was lying on the bed, with a plush doll sent from the hospital in her arms.
Not to mention plush dolls, even if a chosen person wanted a bear to accompany them, the city government of the Top Thousand City would directly pull a tame bear from the zoo to force them to open the store.
It was just a bear, and Lucia did not lack it.
"Am I unhappy?
Liza, Dad is very happy. "
The burly spy's father put on a long face. His eyebrows, eyes, and beard were definitely not happy. His sadness was almost condensing into a whistling north wind. "Of course, I'm very happy that you've been chosen. Lisa will soon become a real Ice Princess."
"Snow Princess …" Liza's big eyes showed a vision of the future. "I'm going to become the Snow Princess."
She felt that she was the most beloved child in the world. Liza was too young to know what a lottery ticket was, otherwise she would definitely know how lucky she was.
But the bearded father felt that he was now an abandoned baby by God. He did not know why his daughter was so resistant to the cold.
Even if she was resistant to the cold, why would the Snow Goddess choose her out of a large group of people who persisted until the end? The probability was so small, but it happened to him. If this was not God's punishment, it would not be long … No, now his identity as a spy might be exposed.
In the next second, there would be a secret agent in a combat uniform pointing a gun at the back of his head!
It's over, it's over.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. His eyes seemed to be able to see his own corpse.
The nurse beside him did not know why the father's expression was so serious, but to her, it was a great thing.
Now that she thought about it, she was a little regretful. Even a little girl like this could be chosen. If she had participated, she might also have a chance of being chosen. It was all her fault for not being confident enough to let the opportunity slip away!
Why was the father frowning when such a good thing fell into his hands?
But only the omniscient and omnipotent Holy Lord and the Snow Goddess knew what the mortals were thinking. As a nurse, she should not get involved.
When she got home, it was time to put up the statue of the Snow Goddess. She believed in it more or less, there was no harm in it.
"Liza, wait here for a while. Dad will go out for a bit."
Tilting her head and looking at her father, Liza, who was still excited, nodded obediently. "Okay, Dad."
The bearded man opened the door to the ward and looked at the soldiers guarding outside. He sighed. Once upon a time, he had also served in the army.
"I want to see your chief officer. There are some things I want to tell them."
The atmosphere in the fourteen rooms could only be weirder, but not the weirdest.
In Alexei's ward, the nurse looked at the booklet in her hand again and again. Thanks to her excellent professionalism, she did not show too much surprise.
The person on the bed who was prettier than her … was actually a boy?
Although the Lucians were somewhat unreliable, the doctors would not be careless when it came to matters of the right and wrong. Usually, there would not be any problems with something as simple as checking the gender.
This was too strange. A man dressed as a woman was selected. Was it because the Snow Goddess did not see through the disguise, or was the government's standard wrong?
After all, wasn't it clearly written in the newspaper that the participants had to be female? This Alexei was too bold, and most importantly, he had succeeded.
The nurse was more inclined to the latter. After all, how could a god make such a low-level mistake!
If she had known that a man dressed as a woman could participate, she would have let her brother squeeze in as well!
Alexei's face was red, but it was unclear whether it was from frostbite or excitement.
Alexei's father, Ivan, was dumbfounded. He had secretly come with his son and did not sign up. He had only squeezed into the crowd to increase the sense of participation, but he had actually been selected?
This was only one of the reasons. The other was that, after more than ten years, he did not realize that his son had a hobby of dressing as a woman.
When he saw his son walk out of the room with a set of feminine clothes, Ivan's head was still in a fog.
"Selected … Alexei …" Ivan looked at his … offspring. "Are you my son or daughter now?"
He had raised this son for more than ten years, and he was counting on Alexei to carry on the family line.
Alexei was very much in the mood of being selected. With the endorsement of the goddess, he no longer had to be secretive. "Everything is according to the goddess. If she wants me to be your son, then I will be your son. If I want to be your daughter, then I will be your daughter."
In Lucia, there was no one who had a stronger background than the goddess.
If one day the goddess announced that men could become extraordinary after castrating themselves, Lucia would have no shortage of men who would castrate themselves.
"Then, do you like women, or do you like … hmm?" Ivan trembled all over, not daring to say the other option.
"Everything is according to the goddess's arrangement."
"That's … crazy."
Ignoring his father, who was still in a daze, Alexei closed his eyes and put on the appearance of a fraud.
The young nurse next to him was stunned. This selection from the goddess was too powerful. It could change a person's temperament in such a short time.
After Alexei said this, the temperature in the ward became cold.
"Ah!"
It really did drop!
Because the temperature dropped so fast, even the water in the glass made a special sound.
The temperature in the warm room suddenly dropped. The thermometer on the wall suddenly dropped from the twenties to single digits, and it was still dropping!
"It's, it's an extraordinary phenomenon."
The nurse shuddered and pressed the alarm with a panicked expression.
Footsteps sounded in the corridor of the hospital, and the central system that had just relaxed tensed up again.
…
Thousands of miles away, Mizuno covered his forehead, his face full of question marks.
"Did I make a mistake?
It's a man? "
"The Lucian government is probably confused too, but the request in the newspaper was their own speculation. It has nothing to do with me, Mizuno."
He looked left and right, but he could not see any masculine features in Alexei's face. He could only sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature. However, whether Alexei was a man or a woman would not affect the gift of Ice Escape.
It was just a small mistake, and the Lucian government would gather experts to fill in the gaps.
It would be a shame for Lucia's scientific community if they did not make good use of so many smart people.
