Nuclear radiation, deformed children.

If God doesn't give it to you, you must have the talent for magic.

The point is not about "God's refusal" and "deformed children".

The point is nuclear radiation!

Li Guanqi looked at the crying baby girl in his arms who was born without a left arm, and was completely sure of this matter.

Before this, Lin Xianbai once mentioned to him that in reality, he had tried experiments on ordinary people who were born with disabilities, but the result was that those people had no aptitude for spells.

In other words, the spell qualifications of 100 million extraordinary people are actually just rewards from the strange world.

Those with disabilities, regardless of congenital or acquired, were given corresponding spell qualifications after entering the strange world.

As for those without disabilities, if they can pass the first level of Wei Mo's two bowls of curse insects test, they can also obtain lower spell qualifications.

But in reality, those with congenital disabilities who are not selected to become one of the 100 million extraordinary beings will not actually have the aptitude for spells at all.

But...this is a phenomenon before the end of the world.

After an extraordinary 20 years of nuclear war, intense nuclear radiation spread all over the world, turning the sky into a gray cloud.

The horrific nuclear radiation has caused genetic mutations in some unborn babies while they are still in their mothers' wombs.

This also makes some human beings, who do not have Lin Xianbai's spiritual roots, find another way and obtain the talent of sensing and controlling spiritual power in another way.

Nuclear radiation?

No, it's more than that.

In today's wasteland world, besides nuclear radiation, what else is there?

Different blood virus!

It is very likely that the combination of nuclear radiation and the thin alien blood virus in the air gave some babies the gift of sensing and controlling spiritual power, and they also acquired a kind of innate ability.

A special ability similar to a superpower.

That is...the magic organ, the so-called natural magic organ!

The magic organ of the magician is the product of nuclear radiation after the nuclear war. It is a mutated organ only possessed by the new humans in the wasteland. It is the "new spiritual root" in the era of nuclear radiation!

But the price of excessive nuclear radiation is physical deformities and lesions.

One less hand is actually very good.

More serious deformities should be more like monsters... However, such people and such spell geniuses are already very rare in the strange world of the New Age.

"Mr. Strong!"

At this time, Zhang Shang walked up to Li Guanqi and solemnly stretched out his right hand, "Please return this ominous baby to us. We need to bury it near the tribe!"

"..."

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

He looked at Feng Yao beside him, frowned and said, "You said that the Flower Tribe is a big tribe, so how do you deal with such things?"

"Send to be burned on the altar."

Feng Yao said matter-of-factly, "It is normal to give birth to deformed children. There can be two or three out of ten. We usually burn them to death directly, because deformed children cannot become qualified laborers, and for ordinary wasteland

For a family, it is completely unworthy and unaffordable to raise a person who cannot become a qualified labor force."

"really."

Li Guanqi can understand, after all, ordinary families in the wasteland have to live.

But understanding this doesn't mean that he will do the same thing.

"Go back."

Li Guanqi looked at Zhang Shang coldly, "I'm taking this child away. This is not a discussion, but a notification."

"But... uh?!"

Zhang Shang subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a huge ice pick appeared in front of his mouth out of thin air.

It seemed that if he dared to say one more word, the ice pick would be inserted directly into his head.

"Feng Yao, let's go."

Li Guanqi held the baby girl in his arms and turned to leave.

…

…

After some time.

Above the wilderness where countless zombies roamed, under the gray sky, a green storm swept past, flying into the distance at an alarming speed.

In the center of the eye of the storm was Li Guanqi, dressed in black, holding a gray animal skin swaddling bag in his arms.

Feng Yao was standing next to him. Due to Li Guanqi's exquisite spell control, Feng Yao didn't feel like he was being carried by the strong wind at all.

Standing on the air current feels no different from standing on land.

On the outskirts of the area where the Ziye tribe was located, the zombie army that Feng Yao had previously regarded as a barrier to the abyss was meaningless in front of Li Guanqi. He flew over with a wind control technique, and the countless zombies below could only stare at him.

"Wow..."

Amidst the howling wind, the baby's cry was extremely clear.

"Hey, if you cry again, I'm going to hypnotize you."

Li Guanqi lowered his head and looked at the baby girl in his arms, feeling quite helpless.

"Woo...hehe!"

Interestingly, when Li Guanqi looked at her like this, the baby girl stopped crying. Instead, she blinked her big and lively eyes, laughed playfully, and wanted to reach out and touch Li Guanqi's face.

But she only has a fleshy right hand, and only a short fleshy arm at her left shoulder, which is moving slightly.

"If God doesn't give it, it will give it to you."

Li Guanqi held the baby girl curled up in the animal skin swaddling clothes with his left hand, stretched out the index finger of his right hand, gently teased her little hand, and smiled softly:

"You don't have a left hand, but it doesn't matter. You also have something that ordinary people don't have, which is the ability to perceive spiritual power and control spiritual power... You will come into contact with another world, the world of conjurers."

"Boss, what are you muttering about?"

At this time, Feng Yao next to him hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Also, boss, you have just returned to this world, so you may not be clear yet.

The world now has become a wasteland, with nuclear radiation everywhere, and the survival rate of babies is very low.

If you want to raise her, what if she dies later, and you have to give up your feelings for nothing, and you will be sad when the time comes, how uncomfortable will it be?"

"Feng Yao?"

Li Guanqi was still teasing the baby girl in his arms, smiling without looking back.

"Um?"

Feng Yao looked at him curiously.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are really bad at talking?" Li Guanqi's smile remained unchanged.

However, Feng Yao's expression froze, and a few drops of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He suddenly remembered that in the cave before, he was still saying that Li Guanqi, the man of the Evil Phoenix Queen, was not a man... As it turned out, the Li Guanqi in the poem's story was actually beside him.

Feng Yao lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore, for fear that he would not die in the monster's mouth, but die from his own words.

"I don't want to raise her."

Li Guanqi looked at the baby girl in his arms with soft eyes, "Actually, you are right. She is indeed a burden to me. I am going to Guanmeng Shelter, and it is impossible to take a baby with me on the way."

"Huh? Then why..."

Feng Yao was confused, "Boss, I don't understand what you want to do."

"She is a burden to me, but to this wasteland world, she is not."

Li Guanqi looked at the disabled baby girl with only her right arm and said seriously: "She is the key, which will open up another extraordinary path for this world, an extraordinary power that all different-blooded superhumans have to face up to. That is magic."

The power of law.”

Feng Yao was stunned.

Li Guanqi held the baby girl with calm eyes.

In one extraordinary year, 100 million extraordinary people disappeared, the apocalypse has not yet come, the world does not have nuclear radiation and different blood viruses, in reality no one can mutate magic organs, and no one has the qualifications for magic.

That means there are no magicians.

Coupled with the 80 years of life in the wasteland after the apocalypse of Extraordinary Year 20, much of the previous knowledge has been lost. Those spellcasters who only appeared in Extraordinary Year 1 first became legends, and over time were forgotten.

.

In this wasteland era, people... at least, most of the middle- and lower-class people don't know that disability represents aptitude for spells. Instead, they think it is a bad omen.

Li Guanqi will change this perception.
