Entering the church, Su Changxing sat down alone in an inconspicuous spot, not wanting to do anything else, just to enjoy this moment of peace.

Even so, he still held a trace of guilt in his heart.

People who are always tense want to relax, while those who are always calm want something more exciting.

This could also be a flaw in human nature, that they become weary of routine matters, yet unconsciously adapt to them, unable to break free.

Before long.

A young female priest walked straight toward him, her demeanor lively, her skin like snow, and said:

"Sir, may I take a moment of your time?"

Su Changxing froze for a moment, then asked: "Hmm? What is it?"

The female priest gently and calmly said: "Sir, I am Yafina, and I see you have great talent. Would you be interested in joining us, embracing the Lord?"

This refers to the extraordinary, doesn’t it?

She didn’t see that Su Changxing was an extraordinary, but sensed his talent for becoming one. An extraordinary must have the talent to become extraordinary.

Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked: "What exactly do you mean?"

Yafina gave a sweet smile and said: "Sir, you may be well-suited to join the Spirit Awakening Class; your talents are excellent."

Excellent?

Su Changxing stared at her, shook his head, and said:

"No, I may not want to join any Spirit Awakening Class right now. I just want to manage my farm; that’s what I need to do most."

Joining any Spirit Awakening Class would definitely expose him, so refusal was necessary, even though Su Changxing was curious to find out what the Spirit Awakening Class was all about.

Yafina didn’t expect Su Changxing to refuse so decisively, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "Sorry to have disturbed you, sir."

With the beginning of the prayer, the priest first delivered a sermon at the front, followed by self-prayer among the faithful.

This process appeared quiet, dignified, and orderly.

Su Changxing blended into it completely, pretending to pray, even though he was thoroughly faithless.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

After finishing the prayer, he followed the crowd outside, not expecting that the female priest would follow again, saying:

"Sir, I hope you reconsider, at least give it a try. It would certainly be a different world."

Su Changxing looked at her, smiled, and said: "Priest Yafina, I understand, but I have more important matters at the moment, sorry."

A polite and tactful refusal.

Yafina showed a disappointed expression, inadvertently exuding a unique feminine charm.

"Of course, if you are buying pork, you are always welcome."

Su Changxing added, then turned to leave, heading towards Henry’s restaurant. As a coarse butcher, he didn’t need to be overly polite.

Henry’s daughter is with the Imperial Police, probably having information about the Duke’s third son. If he intended to assassinate the Duke’s third son, he needed to gather more information.

That was necessary.

Without sufficient power, he needed to use enough means and strategies as a foundation.

Old Henry sat with the cigarette in his mouth, leaning back on a bench at the restaurant entrance. Inside, only a few guests occasionally drank coffee and read the morning paper.

They were all people on business trips from the city.

"Here early, praying again? Shouldn’t you be busy these days?"

Henry looked at Su Changxing and said.

Su Changxing sat down nearby, yawned, and said: "Just checking in, complaining a bit, your daughter kept me busy all night yesterday."

Henry’s face twitched as he said: "Could you use more elegant words? It wasn’t me who sent her to protect you. That place of yours is quite remote and somewhat dangerous... I still advise you to move here, it’s safer."

"Is that so?"

Su Changxing nodded thoughtfully and said casually: "I noticed there’s a big deal over at Mo’an Manor. Is some important person coming to visit us?"

Henry thought for a moment and said: "No idea, the whereabouts of these important people are usually kept secret. How would I know?"

Immediately after.

He glanced at Su Changxing with a grin and said: "Hmm? Why are you, kid, so concerned about this, trying to climb up?"

Su Changxing showed a slight smile and said frankly: "Well, there’s some thought, but it’s almost impossible, a commoner is bound to remain a commoner."

This world’s class structure was extremely rigid. While having modernist ideas, the powers of the great nobles were unimaginably vast, completely controlling the nation’s economic lifelines and government from behind the scenes.

Henry nodded in agreement with Klein’s reasoning and said:

"That’s right, most commoners will only be commoners for their entire lives, and this is almost unchangeable. I was like you when I was younger, trying to make a change..."

Saying this, his eyes glowed with a captivating light, slowly saying: "Succeeded yet failed, I feel weary, but there’s one thing you must have."

Su Changxing’s expression shifted slightly, already having an answer in his heart, yet he cooperated by asking: "What specifically are you referring to?"

"First, you need to possess extraordinary power!"

Old Henry held up one finger and said affirmatively:

"Actually, many ordinary people speculate about this, but they tend to subconsciously avoid it as they lack similar talents."

Is there such a thing?

Su Changxing hadn’t detected that ordinary people would subconsciously avoid the extraordinary, likely because their world’s order was utterly broken.

He paused, blinked, and said: "Could you elaborate on what you mean?"

Old Henry gave a slight sneer and said:

"Are you pretending to be naive? Extraordinary power is the basis on which those great nobles rule this world, yet most people remain in the dark."

Aren’t you afraid others will hear... Su Changxing glanced around, noticing nobody looking their way.

"As I told you, ordinary people subconsciously avoid issues regarding the extraordinary. Other than you, a general person wouldn’t engage with me on such topics."

Old Henry looked at Su Changxing meaningfully.

Is this the distinction between high-level NPCs and low-level NPCs?

Common people are like low-level NPCs, while extraodinaries are like high-level NPCs, which isn’t too difficult to comprehend.

Su Changxing seemed slightly surprised and puzzled: "So, Henry, are you an extraordinary? If so, why are you here as a restaurant owner?"

"Somewhat."

Henry smiled and lazily said: "Being a restaurant owner isn’t bad; at least I can leisurely bask in the sun here, chatting with you."

"You know what I implied just now, don’t you? Either you have the talent to become an extraordinary, or you already are one!"

Su Changxing widened his eyes, looking very interested: "Are you saying I have a chance of becoming an extraordinary?"

The Deceiver’s position granted him impeccable acting skills, far exceeding those of any best actor.

Extracting the necessary elements from perfect imitation for portrayal, this was the essence of the Deceiver,
