Dragon Girl

June 6th, the second semester of senior year.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the day before the college entrance examination.

That day, the school did not hold any classes, allowing students to rest and relax on their own so they could be in the best possible condition for the college entrance examination.

On the school road.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan strolled aimlessly, looking around as they walked, chatting and laughing.

Shen Qinghan held a cup of milk tea, took a small sip, and said:

"Xiao Chen, the college entrance exam is tomorrow. Are you a little nervous?"

"You're Elite Class student, with grades among the best in the school, what's there to be nervous about?"

Lin Zichen smiled and said.

Compared to when she first entered high school, Shen Qinghan's grades have improved significantly.

He has climbed from last place to 28th in the class.

This score ranked second among all the girls in the class, higher than several boys.

Looking at the entire senior year, he could easily rank in the top 40, definitely a top student.

"I'm afraid I'll pee during the exam..."

Shen Qinghan pursed her thin lips, which tasted of milk tea, her face full of worry.

Lin Zichen dismissed it, saying, "You're worrying a bit too much. In the past six months, the frequency of your urinary urgency has greatly decreased, and your body is almost back to normal. You wouldn't urinate so easily."

"Even if you're so nervous you wet yourself, there are still diapers, right?"

"Try to relax and don't be nervous."

Since turning 18 last October, Shen Qinghan's health has started to improve, and she no longer experiences frequent urination urges as she used to.

The specific reason is currently unknown.

However, Lin Zichen guessed that Shen Qinghan's body had become more stable after she became an adult, and the relevant parts were not so easily penetrated by water.

"Xiao Chen, you said that water often seeps through parts of my body. What could be the reason for this?"

Shen Qinghan really wanted to know the answer, but after nearly three years of research and hundreds of examinations of her body by Lin Zichen, she still couldn't find the cause.

This made her feel very frustrated.

Seeing her troubled expression, Lin Zichen gently comforted her, "This is a good thing. The less we can find the reason, the more ancient, mysterious, and powerful this superpower is."

The saying that the older something is, the more powerful it is, is somewhat biased towards the past and dismissive of the present.

If this happened in my past life, I would have been absolutely roasted.

However, in this Mutated Earth with its Exotic Beast, extraordinary abilities, and ancient Ruins, this statement is, to a certain extent, true.

Many scholars speculate that the Exotic Beast that suddenly appeared on Earth hundreds of years ago may not have been alien species, but rather ancient creatures that originally existed on Earth.

This conjecture has many flaws and is absurd, yet it still gained considerable acceptance.

Because the other guesses are even more absurd.

Furthermore, the sudden appearance of the Exotic Beast is absurd in itself, and when combined with even more absurd speculations, it seems reasonable.

Does greater antiquity and mystery equate to greater power?

Shen Qinghan gave a wry smile and said pessimistically, "If only it were true. I'm afraid it's not a superpower at all, but just a simple physical defect."

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you have a physical defect, I won't look down on you."

Hearing this, Shen Qinghan felt a warm glow in her heart, a sweet feeling washing over her.

She then stopped, reached out and grabbed Lin Zichen's sleeve, her eyes filled with a humble pleading tone:

"Xiao Chen, please, please don't ever dislike me again, okay?"

"I won't dislike you."

Looking into Shen Qinghan's bright, watery eyes, Lin Zichen said with a humorous but very serious tone, "If I dared to dislike you, my mom would be the first to come after me."

Night.

After dinner, Lin Zichen glanced at the royalties in his bank account and realized he had saved up 2 million, enough to unlock the Void Eel Album.

Without wasting any time, I immediately went out to the mall to buy meat and devour it.

Upon arriving at the mall, I went straight to the top floor to buy meat myself.

Now that he's eighteen, he no longer needs a personal shopper.

Soon, 100 jin of Void Eel meat was in hand.

Find a secluded spot, and with a single thought, begin to devour.

[You have devoured a large amount of the Life Origin of the "Void Eel"]

[Void Eel Album: 100%]

The moment the text message appeared, a jet-black eel materialized in the Void.

This eel has an extremely strong sense of danger; whenever a predator appears within a certain range, it will immediately flee.

As the image in the Void dissipated, two new text messages appeared.

[You have successfully unlocked the Void Eel Atlas and gained the Biological Attribute - Danger Perception]

[Danger Perception: Within a certain range, you can clearly sense hostility from other creatures and are more sensitive to the aura emanating from them, making it easier to determine the target's Biological Rank.]

After reading the text message, Lin Zichen quickly began to experience the effects of this Biological Attribute.

Looking around, I didn't sense any hostility, but I could feel waves of biological pressure.

Based on the strength of the oppressive aura, the Biological Rank of everyone around could be roughly determined.

Most of them are at the ordinary Tier 1, a few with strong bodies can reach the ordinary Tier 2, but you can't see any higher than that.

It can only be said that most people in this world are ordinary people.

Gene Fusionist and Mechanical Cyborg are extremely rare.

Otherwise, their social status wouldn't be so high.

Before leaving, Lin Zichen strolled around the mall, looking for a type of Exotic Beast Meat to devour.

Ultimately, he chose the meat of the "Living Dead Slug".

The price is 100,000 yuan per kilogram.

The most expensive item in the entire venue, bar none.

However, he remained steadfast in his decision to buy Living Dead Slug meat.

This is because the Living Dead Slug is an Exotic Beast extremely strong self-healing abilities, which can be up to a hundred times stronger than those of an ordinary slug.

As long as one doesn't die on the spot and has a sufficient energy supply, any injury, no matter how severe, can heal itself.

If one could acquire its self-healing ability, even just one-tenth of its effect, one's life would be harder than a diamond.

"At 100,000 yuan per kilogram, 100 kilograms would be 10 million yuan. Relying solely on a monthly writing fee of 100,000 yuan, it would take more than eight years to save that much. That's too long. It seems I need to increase my income after the college entrance examination."

Looking at the pieces of pink, tender, Living Dead Slug meat in the freezer, Lin Zichen thought to himself.

Nanjiang Province, Provincial Education Headquarters.

Minister's Office.

A man nearly two meters tall was using a projector to report on the teaching situation in Nanjiang Province this year to a woman sitting in an office chair.

"The overall educational performance of cities in Nanjiang Province this year is roughly the same as last year."

Qianzhen City remains in the lead, followed by Changzhou City, then Nanguan City, then Shanhai City, Daoshan City... and finally Haiyuan City.

"It is worth mentioning that Shanhai City's academic performance this year has improved significantly compared to last year. This is due to both the improvement in its own educational level and the recruitment of a large number of high-quality students from other cities."

"Besides..."

"At last..."

"..."

About an hour later.

After the man finished reporting the data, he said respectfully to the woman, "Principal Yuan, this concludes the report on the education situation in various cities across the province this year."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Sitting in the office chair, a woman wearing a light green cheongsam, with long, flowing hair and a pair of dragon horns on her head, took a sip of tea and nodded.

The woman's name was Yuan Dongzhi. She looked to be in her early forties, but was actually nearly a hundred years old.

He is one of the Vice Principal of Shanhai University, the director of the Nanjiang Provincial Education Headquarters, and also a powerful Gene Fusionist.

Everyone usually calls her Principal Yuan, never Director Yuan.

In this world, universities that offer Evolution Academy and Mechanical Academy represent the most powerful forces and the pinnacle of power.

The principal inside was, of course, the local ruler.

Therefore, in terms of status and power, even the Vice Principal of a provincial university far surpasses the minister of the Provincial Education Headquarters.

Typically, the head of the local academic headquarters is concurrently held by one of the Vice Principal of the strongest university in the area.

"Principal Yuan, what's the situation inside Source Land No. 36 now?"

The man hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking the question.

Yuan Dongzhi put down her teacup and said calmly, "Things have basically stabilized, otherwise I wouldn't have had the time to oversee this year's provincial college entrance examination."

Hearing this, the man finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Source Land No. 36 is still in turmoil, then the Shanhai City, and even the entire Nanjiang Province, will be in danger.

Those who live on it will all suffer.

The man left shortly after.

Yuan Dongzhi rose from her office chair, walked slowly to the front floor-to-ceiling window, stopped, gazed at the distant sea, and murmured to herself:

"Unbeknownst to me, it's been many years since I've taken on any disciples. I wonder if this year's college entrance exam will produce a promising student that I'm satisfied with."
