Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant

"Okay."

The staff showed no particular reaction to Ji Xinghuo's choice and immediately registered his application.

Ji Xinghuo wasn't worried about his application being rejected, as he had passed two tests with scores much higher than most people.

Even though Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand is a highly sought-after ability, its availability wasn't low. Even if he had to queue, the wait wouldn't be long.

He asked, "Does the service center have any Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand Alien Species in stock?"

The female staff hesitated.

She glanced down at Ji Xinghuo's test scores before replying, "There should be. A batch of Alien Species arrived the day before yesterday, and among them, there are several Thousand Spirit Skillful Hands. Once Mr. Ji's application is approved, he will be able to obtain the Alien Species immediately."

"Thank you."

Ji Xinghuo flashed her a pleased smile and sat down to wait, thinking, "If I can get the Alien Species today, that would be very smooth."

"Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand" is a Superior Ability.

The grading standard of abilities was initially released by the "Star Realm Defense Council," which from the lowest to the highest are: Basic, Quality, Superior, Transcendent.

In actuality, this standard is used not only by Earth's nations but also universally in the Star Realm; only the specific terminology might differ slightly.

Superior Ability is already a rare ability.

Even among Superior Abilities, Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand is one of the most sought-after, with a market value of around 1.6 million Ya Yuan.

Often, even if one has the money to buy it, there is a waiting period.

This is because the Thousand Spirit Skillful Hand is the core ability of the "Ranger" Professional Template.

A "Professional Template" can be understood as the evolution path of a Mutant's life.

Under normal circumstances, each Mutant can only fuse with one Alien Species at each life evolution, making the choice of Ability critically important in determining the strength of a Mutant.

However, Abilities are far too numerous!

Leaving Mutants to choose for themselves, they simply do not know which Abilities are the best solution.

Nearly two centuries since the Star Gate opened, the Abilities obtained on Earth, along with the collected ability information, most have been incorporated into the "Star Realm Defense Council's" Alien Species database, totaling over 12,000 Abilities.

Earth's nations, along with some organizations, groups, and individuals, have definitely concealed some ability information. If you count everything, there might be as many as 20,000 Abilities.

Of these more than 20,000 Abilities, over 90% are Basic Abilities, with similar effects, too low potency, or even useless waste Abilities.

The remaining 10% of Abilities are almost an impossible task to research thoroughly.

Many Abilities conflict with each other and cannot be fused at the same time.

Some Abilities are not suited for humans of Earth at all, whether due to genetic differences or other reasons, in any case, the Fusion Success Rate is zero.

Some Abilities, even when successfully fused, decrease in potency significantly, or even inexplicably fail.

And because it varies from person to person, it's quite complex.

Of course, there are also very positive examples, some Abilities, when mastered together with others, complement each other and can achieve effects far exceeding their normal potency.

So, Earth's nations started investing countless resources into researching Abilities since the 21st century, aiming to find out the best combination of Abilities, while also stealing knowledge from other civilizational races. After two centuries of accumulation, now the nations have a vast amount of data.

Analyzing ability information and carrying out practical experiments have led to a series of optimal ability combinations.

These combinations are "Professional Templates!"

Just like in virtual games, each Professional Template has a name, such as "Giant General," "Shadow Blade," "Martial Artist," "Gravity Warrior," "Mind Hacker," "Superconductor Mage," and so forth.

A Professional Template usually consists of five Abilities, but some have as many as seven or eight Abilities.

The greatest advantage of a Professional Template is stability, and the strength is guaranteed. The constituent Abilities are relatively common, conflict probability is low, Fusion Success Rate is high, and there's significant Potential. They enable quick formation of combat power and have mature methods for breaking through bottlenecks, hence they are the choice of most Mutants.

Although Professional Templates are fixed, the path of evolution is not.

As long as one doesn't fear conflict and succeeds in fusing with Abilities, Mutants can change their minds at any time and switch to other Professional Templates.

Of course, there are always those who want to forge a different path, abandoning Professional Templates to explore the path of evolution freely.

These people are known as "Template-less Mutants," and they are extremely rare.

Template-less Mutants are either geniuses or fools, or they have obtained extremely powerful Abilities that lack research information and are not covered by Professional Templates, making this choice out of necessity.

So the strength of Template-less Mutants is either exceptionally strong or exceptionally weak.

The upper limit is very high, but the lower limit is even lower.

The vast majority of Mutants still opt for stability, choosing Professional Templates.

Today, there are over forty mature Professional Templates suitable for humans globally. If you include incomplete Professional Templates and some unique ability combinations, the number would double or even triple.

Ji Xinghuo had no plans to become a Template-less Mutant. After careful consideration last night, he chose "Ranger."

Ranger is one of the most popular Professional Templates.

According to the data from the Star Realm Defense Council, Rangers make up 7% of the global Mutant population, ranking fifth in numbers!

The main combat style of Ranger is ranged attacks, but its melee strength is also exceptional. Agile and quick, with fast reflexes, it's considered a well-rounded Professional Template.

Moreover, Rangers are in great demand, never needing to worry about employment opportunities.

The root of this lies in the Star Realm.

The Star Realm exists between reality and fantasy, a parallel world of the material universe.
