Lin Yan recalled what had happened in the laboratory and her face paled. “This is too cruel!”
Pei Yucheng narrowed his eyes. “That’s right. Experiments that transform ordinary people into evolved beings are cruel and painful. They are dangerous and inhumane. Institutions like the Hunter’s Guild maintain the order of evolved beings. They punish illegal experiments and arrest postnatal evolved beings.”
Lin Yan was enlightened. “No wonder the people from the Hunter’s Guild keep coming to cause me trouble… Is it because I’m an illegal evolved being?”
Pei Yucheng glanced at the girl. “The Hunter’s Guild wouldn’t arrest a postnatal evolved being who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m afraid there are deeper reasons behind their actions, so you have to be careful.”
“Oh… Okay…” Lin Yan nodded obediently.
Her case was indeed a little strange. Those people had not come to cause her trouble only because she was an evolved being, but also because she looked like someone…
Lin Yan rarely had the means to understand such things. Thus, she couldn’t help but ask, “How are the classes and abilities of evolved beings differentiated?”
“In the beginning, there was no difference between the classes of evolved beings. Now that we have gathered the wisdom and experience of several generations, the approximate class of every evolved being has been determined.”
Upon hearing Pei Yucheng’s explanation, Lin Yan had a rough idea.
Pei Yucheng’s explanation was rather simple.
One could roughly understand that there were nine classes in total.
SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F.
The probability of an ordinary person becoming an evolved being was extremely low. Even if they were Class F, it would already be extremely difficult. Class E and Class D were considered very high classes.
Apart from the upper echelons of the Hunter’s Guild, there hadn’t been any evolved beings above Class B in the entire imperial capital in 10 years.
Of course, the so-called hierarchy had nothing to do with the strength of evolved beings. It was only related to the evolution switch of the brain.
Class F evolved beings had extremely weak control over their evolutionary abilities. Class E evolved beings’ evolutionary control was several times that of Class F evolved beings, and so on.
Even if there was a difference of one class, the difference in abilities would be like heaven and earth.
Apart from the class system, this also depended on evolutionary ability. If one’s evolutionary ability was weak, then no matter how high the evolutionary class was, one might not be a match for a low-level evolved being.
This reminded Lin Yan of the man who could control animals.
Lin Yan had fought with him before and knew that he was weak. If he had not had the help of a beast, Lin Yan believed that she could have killed him with a few punches.
Besides, the evolutionary abilities of evolved beings mutually complemented and countered each other. This was extremely complicated.
Of course, Pei Yucheng had merely explained some of his knowledge on evolved beings. As for the most profound knowledge, Pei Yucheng hadn’t explained it with words.
“Mr. Pei, are evolved beings related to science?” Lin Yan glanced at Pei Yucheng curiously.
According to Lin Yan’s analysis, they should be related. The evolution of the brain was theoretically possible. However, Lin Yan was astonished by its ability.
The man who could control animals was a good example of this.
Pei Yucheng chuckled softly as he glanced at Lin Yan. “What is science? If science can explain this, then it must be related to science. If science can’t explain it, then it must be because science hasn’t discovered the truth. Otherwise, science wouldn’t exist.”
Lin Yan fell into deep thought.
