The Competition

"Yes, its downside is that you have to spin it for 10 minutes every day while carrying this item, otherwise it will lose its effect. Note that when you spin with the top of the top, you will be mentally Pollution and will feel an irresistible urge to spin it, but it is relatively easy to control. As for its ability to replenish Life Energy, I think its effect is above average among ordinary supernatural items."

"How much?" Bai Yun asked.

"50 Purple Crystal Coin".

Hiss--

Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, he was inwardly gasping for breath.

Money is hard to earn. Someone here used Life Energy to exchange for Purple Crystal Coin Dusk, and he exchanged 5 for it. He didn't have many left, as he got them all from doing tasks during this period.

50 pieces? It'll take months to collect them all.

"I don't have enough money right now, I'll have to buy it later."

"I will keep it for you," Zhiyi'er promised.

The extraordinary items he had used before were still quite useful for these people with lower cultivation levels. Because of their previous conversation, he knew that Bai Yun had most likely already advanced, so he provided this item, which was quite effective.

However, the pressure on Bai Yun's side is much greater.

He was an ordinary person who became Transcendent only by the turn of the Dusk. Where would he get the money so quickly? Could the other party wait for several months?

"Maybe I can give it a try and contact some members of the Dusk Society to see if they'd pay me to do something for them." This thought crossed his mind.

Miss Cannon Fodder 26 read this guy's thoughts and thought it was such a coincidence.

So, controlling another body disguised as a man (actually a woman), she said, "There's a mission within the Dusk faction, and I wonder if anyone would be willing to help. Speaking of which, this mission is somewhat related to the Blood Cherry Society."

"Oh?" Zhiyi'er immediately became interested.

The other party actually said it was a mission from Dusk. Does this mean that, in addition to the gathering organized by Miss Dusk, there is also a society that worships Miss Dusk?

And the name of that society might also be Dusk.

Admittedly, his idea is very close to the truth.

Ye Qian, using a male alias, said calmly, "The Blood Cherry Society is currently cooperating with another organization called the Fading Lamp Society. Members of Dusk have clashed with them in some secluded corners, and we currently have a slight advantage. However, Dusk lacks sufficient strength in Lianwen, so we need some support to go there."

"Lianwen?" Miss Nona, who had been silent until now, suddenly remembered something. Wasn't the dangerous secret society that Mrs. Barn had mentioned before called the Fading Lamp Society?

And that person mentioned Lianwen, that can't be a coincidence, right?

Who would have thought... that Dusk would have a conflict with such an organization?

He glanced subconsciously in the direction of Miss Dusk.

Although we can't see her true appearance, based on her silhouette and the voices we've heard, we can imagine that this deity is an incredibly beautiful young woman.

Such a existence must be much safer than that indescribable kind, right?

She suddenly felt a little relieved; the incantation she had recited that day had not been directed at any more dangerous gods.

"Lianwen, this is indeed a bit far."

Upon hearing the name of the capital city of the neighboring province, Bai Yun hesitated slightly.

However, realizing he was indeed short of money and wanted that extraordinary item, he continued, "Could you tell me the details?"

"If you are a member of the Dusk Society, I am very confident in entrusting this mission to you. Of course, the reward will not be small. I don't know the specific situation of the Fading Lamp Society and the Blood Cherry Society, but they will definitely have several Transcendent on the other side. Therefore, when it comes to actually taking action, there will be other Transcendent cooperating with you. What I hope is that you can participate in the intelligence gathering mission and provide support in some operations."

Upon hearing this member's words, Bai Yun hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I will head to Lianwen City immediately."

Even without compensation, I probably wouldn't be able to refuse.

Miss Dusk was sitting over there watching.

Although she doesn't interfere, she is, after all, part of this organization. As a subordinate, if she only takes benefits and does nothing, this deity will definitely be unhappy.

Bai Yun was actually very grateful to Miss Dusk. Before attending the meeting, after experiencing the power of the Dragon of End, Miss Dusk gave him a feeling of being out of reach.

He felt an indescribable sense of pride and honor to be able to participate in such a meeting.

"As for the reward, I will give it to you directly by offering a sacrifice to Lord Dragon of End. You should know about Dragon of End, right?" the man Ye Qian was impersonating asked.

"I know."

"The Dragon of End?" Nona felt utterly defeated; she knew nothing about it.

But... I do know the word "sacrifice".

Generally, sacrifices are involved, such as the sacrificial ceremonies of the Light Prayer Church, which involve offering something to the God of Light Prayer through a grand event.

Without a doubt, sacrifice is definitely related to the existence of gods and is a representative of religious rituals.

"Does this mysterious gathering organization receive feedback from the gods when its members offer sacrifices?"

It was less of a sacrifice and more of a plea for divine power to accomplish something incredible.

Nona's body trembled slightly.

This is truly unbelievable.

She had never imagined that an organization could be this sophisticated, far surpassing any gathering she had ever attended in the past. She felt a little dazed, as if everything she was experiencing was an illusion.

Meanwhile, Zhiyi'er was also a bit confused.

"A sacrifice?"

So this is how the offline transactions he had heard about were conducted?

He realized he had misunderstood.

As a member of the Light Prayer Church, this was the first time I had ever witnessed such a situation. Even the high-ranking Archbishop had never heard of anyone being able to casually offer sacrifices and receive a reward from the God of Light Prayer.

The significance of this gathering is probably far more complex than I thought.

The people inside could not have joined randomly; each person's selection must have been guided by the profound meaning of the deity, Miss Dusk.

He's conflicted now, unsure if his actions constitute a betrayal of the Holy See.

But whether it counts or not, we can't reveal the situation; let's keep everything from the party to ourselves.

If possible, we could even make better use of the power here. After all, most of the communication takes place under the interference of this deity, and the Holy See's limited surveillance capabilities certainly won't detect any problems.

The party ended completely not long after, and Miss Dusk announced the time for the next party.

It took a little longer.

She chooses times that are generally during everyone's free time outside of work, so unless there are special circumstances, it's impossible for her not to come.

Moreover, even if they actually encounter a work situation, it doesn't matter. This gathering is essentially a dream. When dreaming, the real body can "sleepwalk." With the help of the Mystic Thread, a slight stimulation to their brains is enough. As long as these guys don't resist, maintaining a short period of sleepwalking in reality is not a problem at all.

Back to reality, Bai Yun immediately ran to tell her younger sister what had happened.

Knowing that her brother was going out on business, the obedient younger sister did not stop him.

He bought a train ticket to Lianwen.

In reality, Ye Qian No. 2 returned to the school of Transcendent after wandering around outside the school for a while.

The school uniforms have been distributed.

The school uniform skirts are predominantly black, with a slightly aristocratic feel. The skirts are quite short, but the school provides thick black tights, which perfectly accentuate the girls' figures while also ensuring their privacy.

"But the designer is too knowledgeable."

Upon seeing herself in this school uniform, Ye Qian felt her phantom limbs harden... cough cough cough.

Aisha's roommate, looked over and stared wide-eyed.

"Oh no, what an amazing beauty my roommate is! Standing next to you, I feel like I'm just an extra."

She gestured with her hands and realized that this girl had an amazing figure.

Wearing the same school uniform skirt, Aisha was actually quite pretty, but compared to Ye Qian, she felt that she was no different from ordinary people.

"It's alright, it's really just like that." Ye Qian smiled awkwardly.

Now that she's at the school, she has an idea: to secretly investigate the extent of the Fading Lamp Society's infiltration of the school.

Of course, it can't be too obvious; it can only be done secretly using Mystic Thread.

"Class is about to start, let's go together."

After putting on her black boots and looking at her own figure, Aisha glanced at Ye Qian.

"Good."

Ye Qian didn't know what the course on the theoretical foundations of attributes would teach, so she decided to go and learn along with it.

The two girls left the dormitory and walked for quite a while before finally arriving at the classroom they had booked.

Once inside, I found that there were already about 20 people sitting there.

Wow, beautiful!

"Oh my god, the one on the right is so beautiful!"

Some of the boys exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Qian was already used to this kind of gaze, so she sat down with Aisha in the middle seat against the wall.

Not long after, a female teacher carrying books came in.

"It's time, freshmen. Welcome to your first class of the year." She smiled at the students. "I am your attribute foundation course teacher. The main content I will teach is developing your extraordinary potential."

Chapter 129 Competition

As she spoke, the female teacher looked around the room and said, "Well then, before we officially begin the course, I need to test your attributes."

She took out something that looked like a Crystal Ball from her person and placed it on the table.

"In the distant Second Era, Mage used Crystal Ball to test a person's magical talent. By placing their hand on the ball, different potential attributes would emit different lights. Now, the Crystal Ball has become a tool in the field of divination. Although divination is very expensive, if one can know a person's potential attributes and thus predict their future development by simply borrowing a little of a similar power, it is not a bad choice."

"It's so complicated." Ye Qian, who has Player System and Proliferation System, never expected that ordinary people in reality could only find out their attributes in this way.

"Teacher, are you going to give us a test?" a boy asked.

"No, testing is generally something you have to do yourself. I'm just teaching you the method. But before that..."

Her gaze swept around the crowd, landing on several people, especially Ye Qian and a seemingly composed boy, who received extra attention.

"Seven students in our class got promoted this year based on recommendation letters? Looks like we have a chance to be selected as an A-class class."

"Class A? Holy crap, are there that many strong people in our class?" One of the boys blurted out a curse on the spot.

Not far from Ye Qian, another slightly gloomy-looking boy whispered, "Seven people?"

"Seven?" Ye Qian was also taken aback.

Damn, I never thought that Transcendent would be so worthless.

The Insect Blood Society Luo Chen by its name alone, so how did it become so weak in the blink of an eye? Is this what it feels like to change maps?

Remote, impoverished county towns are truly different from large provincial capitals.

Of course, these academies for Transcendent have some background, allowing them to access extraordinary items earlier than ordinary people, and advancing to the Black Iron Rank is not too difficult.

As for the level above Black Iron, that's really difficult. Most people will spend many times more time on this upgrade process than before, not to mention the dangerous breakthrough process that follows.

"Our class started at grade D. In the past few years, students from ordinary families or those with average circumstances were usually assigned here. Due to this inherent problem, students in lower grades are likely to lag behind those in higher grades. For example, in the last year, not a single student in my class was promoted when we enrolled. By graduation, only one person had successfully promoted, and the three who failed survived but suffered lifelong consequences."

The female teacher spoke in a low voice, "This is the path to the extraordinary, which is inherently dangerous. In addition, everyone's starting point and talent are different. Therefore, our strategy for classes below C is not to require you to achieve anything. Safety comes first."

When he finished speaking, many students in the class had mixed feelings.

Because there were 7 promoted students when they enrolled.

Undoubtedly, these students who are promoted early will be ahead of others from the very beginning in these ordinary classes, and will far surpass others by graduation.

Many students who lack a foundation are already under pressure at this point.

"At the beginning of the school year, the school holds a competition where each class can send its strongest student. The final rankings are then used to re-determine the class's grade. That's why I said our class was able to get promoted to an A. The whole school will eventually select one S class and three A classes. If we are promoted, it means that others will be demoted. So, starting next year, those who are promoted to A will get better students. You could say it's a competition between students, and also a competition between teachers."

After hearing this, a girl below asked, "If we get promoted to an A, what will happen to students like us who don't have a foundation?"

"There won't be any difference, but better classes will get more resources. And naturally, the more students improve, the more resources they will receive. So... let the classes move up. The last student in Class A might end up receiving more resources than an average student in Class D."

"This is really cruel, with such a competitive system," Aisha couldn't help but complain.
