Ling Qing moved a small stool to the platform before the door, leaned his back against the rough wall beside it, and closed his eyes to enjoy the sunlight shining on him.
The feeling from earlier—of his mind reflecting heaven and earth, sensing the vast and the minute, the distant and the near—had faded considerably, leaving only a faint aftertaste and an elusive sensation.
But that feeling, along with the Acorn he could clearly sense within his chest, told him this was not a dream.
When people were young, they all had dreams of being heroes, imagining themselves possessing extraordinary abilities and attracting the attention of countless people.
But cold reality gradually wore those fantasies away, and they could only flare up again in the virtual world of the internet.
Yet in the end, they still lost to reality.
At that moment, sunlight filtered through his eyelids, turning the world before Ling Qing's eyes a bright orange-yellow, while a clear information panel still hovered before him.
As he looked at it, an indescribable emotion surged endlessly from the depths of his heart, as though urging him to do something.
But more than twenty years of blows from reality gradually calmed him down, and he began testing it repeatedly, trying to make this somewhat unreal change feel more tangible.
With a thought, he repeatedly summoned and dismissed it.
Through his earlier tests, Ling Qing discovered that the information before his eyes was not a virtual panel projected into his vision, nor did it obstruct his sight.
Rather, it was a direct representation created by the Acorn he had named the Heart of the Druid, combining the Druid class inheritance he had received with his own information and understanding.
Even without these panels, he could still understand his own condition. They merely made it easier for him to comprehend.
As someone who often read novels, he had always fantasized about obtaining a system. Now, he had finally gotten a taste of it.
After playing with it for a while, summoning and dismissing it over and over until he was satisfied, Ling Qing finally began studying the panel seriously.
First, his class had been locked as Druid.
Well, something represented by an Acorn probably would not give him the class of a mage. If it had been a book, though, that might have been possible.
It also stipulated that his level could not fall below Level 1.
Though he did not know what would happen if it did, since the prompt had said so, he would simply follow it.
There was no need to say much about health. It was easy enough to understand.
Only the way the percentage was calculated would need to be tested through practice later. Ling Qing had no intention of abusing himself right now.
If his health never decreased by even the slightest amount for the rest of his life, then it would not matter if he never figured it out.
As for his attributes, the inheritance information showed that an ordinary person's attributes were all 10. He had no particularly outstanding strengths or glaring weaknesses.
Even his relatively impressive Perception had only increased after becoming a Druid and receiving the inheritance.
The three class skills he had acquired were also only to be expected.
The only somewhat unusual thing was the general skill [Five Animal Frolics]. Ling Qing's grandfather had taught it to him when he was little.
Back then, a qigong craze had swept across the country. Ling Qing's grandfather had learned this set of Five Animal Frolics from someone during that time and practiced it diligently without interruption.
He had also made Ling Qing practice alongside him, urging him on from time to time.
Although that craze eventually died down without amounting to anything, and Ling Qing's grandfather had not cultivated anything remarkable from it either,
he still stubbornly believed it was real, only that he lacked the talent for cultivation.
This led him to pour all his efforts into Ling Qing. He gave Ling Qing the secret manual his master had passed down to him and supervised his practice every day.
Yet his wish was never fulfilled. After the millennium, his elderly grandfather quietly passed away one morning.
Ling Qing then entered middle school and began living on campus. Though he still practiced from time to time, he saw no changes for a long time and gradually cast it aside.
He had never expected it to be recognized by the panel. That truly surprised him.
However, he had kept that secret manual, and martial arts training was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.
What mattered more now was figuring out the abilities of his Druid class skills while he had the day off.
His current job gave him one day off after every six days of work, meaning he only had one rest day each week.
To be cautious, Ling Qing had no plans to resign. He intended to wait a few days first.
Once he confirmed that this was not merely a dream he had made up, and that he had truly gained extraordinary abilities, it would not be too late to make plans.
Besides, resigning was not something he could do whenever he pleased. He might as well use this time to seriously consider what he should do in the future.
With that in mind, he turned around and locked the door. As he passed through the corridor, he casually unplugged the charger and placed it beneath his seat.
"Boss, two fried dough sticks and a bowl of porridge."
Ling Qing came to a breakfast stall at the mouth of the alley and found an empty seat. As he pulled a pair of chopsticks from the holder and casually wiped them off, he called out to the owner.
