Zhang Zhi stopped writing, raised his head, and said solemnly to her, "Class Advisor Liu, thank you!"

Class Advisor Liu saw Zhang Zhi looking at her with such seriousness and waved her hand grandly. "What are you thanking me for? You have the highest potential in the class right now. In the future, whenever the class has group activities, help your classmates out a little. Consider it your thanks to me."

Zhang Zhi nodded. "I will!"

Then he remembered something and asked, "By the way, Class Advisor, does my Special Enrollment Student subsidy need to go through you?"

Class Advisor Liu glanced at him. "You still remember your subsidy? Don't worry. I filled out the application and submitted it for you yesterday."

"Honestly, you're the first person I've ever met who pays so little attention to his own affairs."

Zhang Zhi gave an embarrassed laugh and hurriedly changed the subject. "Um, Class Advisor, over at the Student Activity Center, I saw that someone was actually selling World Seeds."

"Aren't World Seeds imbued with Mental Marks, meaning only people with matching marks can use them?"

"That person also said that some people can use two World Seeds. What's that about? Do you know?"

Class Advisor Liu nodded. "Oh, I actually know about that."

"I wasn't originally supposed to be the one telling you this, but since you asked, there's no harm in explaining it to you."

"Under normal circumstances, World Seeds bear the user's Mental Power Mark. This is mainly to prevent World Seeds from being misappropriated."

"Actually, the most primitive World Seeds didn't have Mental Power Marks, and they were quite expensive—roughly the price of five or six Green Cards."

Zhang Zhi nodded when he heard that, thinking that he might have misunderstood that person earlier.

Class Advisor Liu continued, "As for what he said about some people being able to use two World Seeds, that isn't wrong either."

"Such cases are extremely rare, but they do exist. Usually, when twins are still in the womb, one of them absorbs—or, more accurately, devours—the other due to some disturbance during pregnancy or another reason."

"During the process of absorption or devouring, the two don't completely fuse together. After being born, such people have a high chance of possessing two kinds of soul fluctuations, or two kinds of Mental Power Marks."

"Such people can open up two Small Worlds at the same time!"

"There aren't many people like that, but the Multiverse is infinitely vast, so the absolute number is still considerable."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi's heart stirred. He had transmigrated here, and he should have transmigrated into his mother's womb, right? Could that mean he counted as having two soul fluctuations?

Perhaps I can give it a try?

Class Advisor Liu seemed to see what Zhang Zhi was thinking. "Are you planning to try it? I think you should hold off for now."

"Even if you can open up two worlds, I personally recommend that you develop one first. After all, the resources you can obtain are limited."

Zhang Zhi smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, Class Advisor Liu. I've only just come into contact with this information, so I'm merely a little curious!"

Yet his desire to try grew even firmer.

After all, Mental Power was his Golden Finger.

If he could open up another Small World, then with his current abilities, integrating a Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card, a Tier 1 Magic Card, or something similar would be effortless.

To put it simply, the moment this Small World was opened, it would already start out as a Medium Small World!

Besides, he had his Golden Finger, so he had no need to worry about running short of Basic Cards!

After staying in the classroom for a while and becoming more familiar with his classmates, Zhang Zhi saw that dusk was falling. He said goodbye to Class Advisor Liu and got up to leave.

After leaving the classroom, the next place he naturally headed for was the library.

After dinner, he searched the library for a long time. At last, Zhang Zhi found information related to those patterns.

However, he only found information about one of the patterns.

In the book commonly abbreviated as "Thousand and Thousand Overview," whose full title was "An Overview of Thousand World Traits and Thousand World Paths," he found a pattern identical to the second pattern on his World Bead.

The trait represented by that pattern was Abundance of Treasures.

In simpler terms, it meant that the probability of all kinds of Heaven Material, Earthly Treasures and rare natural treasures forming within the Small World would be much higher. The probability of various treasures from the chaos falling into the Small World would also be much higher, as would the probability of ordinary creatures breaking through and becoming Heavenly Material, Earthly Treasures.

To sum it up, once a Small World possessed this trait, it would be filled with treasures. Before one knew it, some treasure might emerge into the world.

After reading about this World Trait, Zhang Zhi rubbed his chin and thought rather smugly that this trait didn't seem to be of much use to him.

It even seemed inferior to the Wisdom trait that His Excellency Li Qianjun had mentioned.

But perhaps, with this trait, the Flat Peach Tree in the Mortal Transformation Realm within his Small World might be able to break through to the Extraordinary Realm?

After considering for a while what Abundance of Treasures could do for his Small World and how he should make use of this trait, he continued searching through the library.

He still hadn't found the trait corresponding to the first pattern on his World Bead.

What puzzled him was that he later searched through countless books in the library related to Small World Traits, yet he still couldn't find any information related to the first pattern on his World Bead.

Looking at the first pattern on his World Bead, he muttered self-deprecatingly, "The pattern behind you represents the Abundance of Treasures trait. Could you be Outstanding People, Spiritual Land?"

Although he hadn't found any information related to the first pattern, his time hadn't been wasted. He had discovered quite a bit of other useful information.

For example, he had always found it strange that humans could be considered the strongest path at present. Why, then, did so many people choose other paths?

After looking through the relevant materials, he more or less understood the reason.

First, humanity was currently favored by the Multiverse. If a Small World was primarily based on the human race, and a problem arose within it that caused large numbers of humans to die, the Realm Lord would lose a great deal of providence. If things became even more serious, the Small World might even be directly stripped away by the Multiverse Consciousness.

Second, there was a reason somewhat similar to "rank" and "providence."

The total amount of "providence" and rank possessed by the entire Multiverse was not fixed, but its growth was extremely slow.

If, within the Small Worlds opened by the Masters of the World, one more foreign-race creature achieved godhood, then the corresponding number of ranks available for that foreign race to achieve godhood would decrease by one. The providence belonging to that rank would also be transferred to humanity.

That was why there were so many Realm Lords who followed foreign-race paths. With each additional Realm Lord who followed a foreign-race path, the foreign races' power would be reduced by a little. As one side waned, the other waxed. No wonder His Excellency Li Qianjun had said yesterday that many foreign races' Main Worlds had joined forces to deal with the Realm Lord's Main World.

If things continued this way, those foreign races would sooner or later be devoured completely by the Realm Lord's World.
