Everyone's eyes were fixed straight ahead. It wasn't because some beauty or hunk was attracting this group of teenagers, who were likely overflowing with puberty-driven hormones, but because a pale blue light screen had appeared before them, displaying many things that caught their attention.
Yin Kuang was the same, his eyes wide as he stared at the blue screen that appeared after he silently thought, "Personal Attributes."
The screen was not large, but it was divided into eight sections arranged in an umbrella shape, displaying Yin Kuang's comprehensive data in great detail. At the center of the umbrella was a holographic miniature "Yin Kuang," and rotating clockwise, they were:
I: Information—
Name: Yin Kuang. Gender: Male. Age: 19. Profile: A youth from a mysterious mountain village; beneath a simple exterior hides the ferocity of a beast, and he is deeply filial.

Additionally, he has at least 20 other relatives, including a Second Great-Uncle, Seventh Great-Uncle, uncles, and various aunts. Has been admitted to "North Xia University."

Health: 15 points (Tip: If health reaches zero, you die).
Energy: 11 points (Tip: A collective term for True Qi, blood energy, magic, primordial energy, etc. When you possess a specific type of energy, "Energy" will change to the corresponding type. For example, if you cultivate internal martial arts, the energy value will convert to True Qi).

VI: Title: Rookie Student. Title Effect: You have the right to make reasonable requests to your instructor, and they cannot refuse. (Yin Kuang thought to himself, no wonder the Red Queen was so swift and decisive, leaving as soon as she finished speaking; it turns out she was afraid we would make some messy requests or questions that she couldn't refuse.) When applying for healing, "Study Points" are halved. Your first exchange will enjoy an 80% discount. Comment: Immature little birds are always prone to making mistakes; tolerance and generosity are virtues.

Kitchen God Amulet: An amulet sewn for you by your mother. It contains your birth date, a peach pit, copper coins, and a red string; it was obtained through your mother's three kowtows and nine bows. It not only contains the faint divine power of the Kitchen God but is also filled with the purest maternal love in the world. Effect: Hidden attribute Luck +3. Possesses a faint deterrent effect against ghosts and spirits. Can be equipped immediately. Comment: Who says the heart of a blade of grass can repay the warmth of the spring sun?
Of the eight sections, seven displayed dense text and data, while the last section was completely blank, showing nothing, as if it were reserved for later.
As such, it took Yin Kuang a full ten minutes to finish reading all his information. After finishing, Yin Kuang felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Especially when he saw the "Kitchen God Amulet" in the "Items" column, Yin Kuang couldn't help but feel a soreness in his nose, even ignoring his short lifespan of only 34 years. He immediately equipped it. The "Kitchen God Amulet" in the item column moved to the "Equipment" column, showing the following attributes:
Accessory: Kitchen God's Amulet.
Profile: An amulet containing selfless maternal love and the faint divine power of the Kitchen God.
Rating: Exclusive special equipment.
Condition: Only usable by Yin Kuang himself.
Effect: Hidden attribute Luck +3. Possesses a faint deterrent effect against spirits.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Li Shuangmu, who was on the side, saw that Yin Kuang's state was poor and couldn't help but ask.
Yin Kuang shook his head, not wanting to say much, and said, "Nothing."
Li Shuangmu looked at him, nodded, and then sighed, "It seems we have really come to a very, very magical place."
"Ha! Who's to say otherwise?" Wei Ming suddenly leaned over and lowered his voice, but he was still very excited, "I actually have a lifespan of 105 years! It turns out I can live so long. Also, my Strength attribute is the highest, at 8 points. How about you guys?"
Yin Kuang smiled and said, "It's alright." Yin Kuang felt that Wei Ming's "Intelligence" attribute must not be high, otherwise he would never ask such an idiotic question. Who would be willing to reveal the secrets of their attributes?
Li Shuangmu chuckled and said, "So you're the long-lived one. I can't compare to you, but I have a lifespan of 94 years, which is not bad. I don't have any other specialties. I do have a special skill called 'Clear Heart and Calm Mind,' which has a 20% chance to immunize against mental ability damage; I think that should be pretty good."
"Special skill? I have one too," Wang Ning turned around and said, "It's a skill called 'Low-Profile Way.' The effect is a 30% chance to evade perception. Of course, the perceiver's perception cannot exceed mine by 5 points. I really don't know how I got this skill; I don't feel like I'm low-profile at all."
Upon hearing this, Yin Kuang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If he hadn't spoken, I would have truly and unconsciously ignored his existence. What a formidable skill. If he really wanted to do me harm, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to react.
Li Shuangmu also commented, "This skill is not bad; it's very practical. Low profile is indeed the way to go."
"Heh heh." Wang Ning gave a smug smile. "Hey, big guy, what about yours? Do you have any special skills?"
"I... mine..." Wei Ming stammered.
"Don't be such a drag. If you don't want to say it, forget it," Wang Ning said.
"It's not that... it's just, don't laugh when I tell you."
"What's there to laugh about? Although I don't know what these special skills are actually for, they seem very important. I have a feeling we've arrived in a world similar to an online game. There are stats, skills, equipment, and so on; maybe a quest will pop up later. I think we should be well-prepared." Wang Ning said seriously, "The Red Queen said that instead of asking irrelevant questions, it's better to listen more, think more, and do more. No matter what we do, we must always rely on ourselves and friends we can trust."
