Returning to the classroom from the school infirmary, Feng Qi seemed a bit distracted.

His Bloodline Strength value had inexplicably increased, and he couldn't find the reason, only guessing it might be related to the strange dream.

"Feeling unwell again!" Noticing Feng Qi's distraction, Mo Fei, who was sitting beside him listening attentively to the lecture, turned his head curiously and asked.

"It's nothing, maybe I haven't fully recovered yet!" As he spoke, Feng Qi suddenly thought of something and asked,

"Do you know the new school doctor in the infirmary? How come I didn't know!"

Facing the question, Mo Fei seemed a bit embarrassed:

"She's my sister. She was originally a medic in a Domain Battle Group. Because she was ambushed by a domain monster while exploring a domain, her Dantian Qi Sea was injured, causing it to be unable to store Spiritual Energy anymore, so she retired and came back. She couldn't stay idle at home, so she applied to be a school doctor and only recently passed the school's review to officially take up the position."

"Biological sister?"

"Not biological."

"Then it's not a big problem!" Feng Qi nodded decisively and gave Mo Fei an encouraging look.

"It's a big problem. Although she's not my biological sister, she's my mom's goddaughter. My mom already warned me, saying I'm not good enough for Yuzu Jie and told me not to mess with her goddaughter, or she'd break my legs!"

"Are you sure you're her biological child?"

"Not sure, maybe I was a bonus for topping up her phone bill!"

After a brief chat, Feng Qi and Mo Fei began to listen attentively to the lecture.

The graduation exam was approaching, and grades were crucial. Good grades meant many options: joining Cultivation Method or spell research institutes to become human elites, or joining Domain Battle Groups to become Domain Warriors, or going to higher academies to become well-paid teachers.

If their grades were poor, the situation would be completely opposite, with very few options and a high probability of facing the harsh realities of society.

Therefore, the upcoming graduation exam was a turning point in their lives, and Feng Qi dared not be negligent, seizing the last bit of time to study hard.

Mo Fei, on the other hand, had a different ideal. The book he was flipping through was "History of Technological Weapons Development," because his ideal was to become a weapons engineer or a technology researcher, not to enter Cultivation Method or spell research institutes like him, or join Domain Battle Groups and live a life on the edge.

Although technology had limited use in fighting domain creatures, humanity had never stopped technological research.

Because the convenience brought by technology could also accelerate the progress of human civilization.

The academy graduation exam in half a month, besides the mandatory history exam, had corresponding exam content for different majors.

His ideal choice was Galaxy Academy, a higher academy specializing in "Cultivation Method Research." After graduation, he would have the opportunity to join the Galaxy Research Institute within the academy, so the books he was reading were all related to Cultivation Method research theories.

Mo Fei's choice was a technology research institute, so he was reading content related to technology.

After the afternoon classes ended, Feng Qi and Mo Fei sprinted towards the cafeteria.

If they ran slowly, they might have to queue for a long time in the cafeteria.

With the graduation exam approaching, they preferred to spend the queuing time on studying and reviewing.

Entering the cafeteria, they quickly finished dinner, and Feng Qi and Mo Fei went straight back to the dormitory.

The dormitory was a two-person room, occupied only by him and Mo Fei. Although it was a male dormitory, the items inside were very neatly arranged, and the floor was also very clean.

It wasn't that he and Mo Fei were particularly fond of cleanliness.

It was because the dormitory was inspected every few days, and the teachers responsible for the inspection would also score each dormitory. If they didn't meet the standard, a series of troubles would follow.

So he and Mo Fei cleaned every day to keep the room tidy.

"Crazy, hurry up and review. If you're not feeling well today, go to bed early." Sitting down at his desk, Mo Fei turned to look at Feng Qi and said.

Hearing this, Feng Qi nodded, then also came to his desk and sat down, took out his books, and began to review.

Time flowed by, and Feng Qi was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, unable to extricate himself, willingly falling into depravity, with no turning back.

Hours later, sleepiness struck.

Shaking his head, he closed his book and went to the bed. Feng Qi decided to sleep for a while and then memorize the remaining knowledge points later.

He didn't take off his clothes and just lay straight down on the bed.

Dark clouds hung low, and piles of withered bones formed mountains on the ground.

Opening his eyes, everything before him was so familiar.

With a light sniff, the familiar stench lingered at the tip of his nose, refusing to dissipate... Gag.

Well, well, well, he was back again!

Slowly standing up from the pile of withered bones, Feng Qi looked around.

The world in the dream was different from reality. The moon hanging high in the sky emitted a red halo, appearing very strange.

The world illuminated by the moonlight was even more filled with magical colors.

To the west of his location, a thick mist enveloped the area. To the east, a large number of Living Dead stood. To the south was a black river, and to the north was a road covered with broken bones, lined with bare locust trees, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Just as Feng Qi was observing his surroundings, a low growl attracted his attention.

Turning his head, it was the familiar Living Dead, slowly standing up at this moment, opening its mouth at him... and then doing a split and sitting down on the spot.

Feng Qi: ...

Everything in the dream has been reset?

[You are currently confused, not understanding why you have appeared here again. Therefore, you decide to first eliminate this little scoundrel, then head east, killing everything in your path, absorbing bloodline power to strengthen your Bloodline Strength value and prefix title!]

Feng Qi: ...

"I don't want to!"

[No, you do!]

Feng Qi: ...

Although unwilling, in order to understand the truth of the dream, he still casually picked up a leg bone and smashed it towards the approaching Living Dead.

One hit, two hits, three hits...

When the fleshy mass in the Living Dead's head was smashed, he waited with anticipation for the reward to appear.

But the expected bloody light spot did not emerge from the Living Dead.

The status in the attribute panel also did not change.

[Weak Living Dead: Feng Qi]

Strength Level: Unranked

Prefix Title: Weak (Body Strength reduced by 30%)

Bloodline: Human (Primary)

Bloodline Evolution Points: 1/1000 points

Prefix Title Milestones:

Weak (Upgradeable): Stage 1 (3%)

Prefix Title First Milestone: Kill Living Dead to gain title evolution points and increase evolution percentage.

After killing the Living Dead, he was surprised to find that the Bloodline Evolution Points in the attribute panel were still 1/1000, with no change.

Regarding this, two conjectures formed in his mind.

One, he cannot gain Bloodline Evolution Points from the same Living Dead that has been repeatedly killed.

Two, what is gained in the dream is similar to a recorded milestone. Only by breaking this record can he gain new rewards again. For example, in the previous dream, he gained 1 Bloodline Evolution Point, so this time he must kill two Living Dead to refresh this record and gain the second Bloodline Evolution Point. If he cannot surpass his own record, the data is saved.

Feng Qi did not dwell on which conjecture was correct.

Because practice is the best answer.

Holding the leg bone, Feng Qi strode towards the east where there were more Living Dead.

This time he was smarter and no longer rashly approached areas where Living Dead were clustered.

In the previous dream, he discovered a characteristic of the Living Dead: they had no sight or hearing. Last time he threw a bone to try and attract the Living Dead, but they ignored it, and the sound of the bone hitting the ground did not startle them.

But when he got close, all the Living Dead turned and pounced like cats smelling fish.

So he guessed that the Living Dead should have a sensing range.

If he entered the sensing range, the Living Dead would be activated and attack the creature that entered the range.

To verify his conjecture, Feng Qi's steps forward were very small, trying to find the sensing range of the Living Dead to prevent repeating the mistake of being surrounded and beaten to death.
