Ling Yi's gaze was quickly drawn to the so-called Awakening Stone.
It is spherical, silvery-white cesium, with a metallic luster and a smooth surface.
Isn't this just a shot put? You guys call this Awakening Stone?
Sure enough, this world has gone awry; they're using a shot put as Awakening Stone!
Just as Ling Yi was mentally ranting, he suddenly heard a voice rushing from ahead.
The sound was so low that it was almost inaudible unless you listened very carefully.
"No way, is this for real? Are you all hopeless lunatics? Okay, okay, you call this Awakening Stone, right?"
Oh my god? This Lin Shu, this Lin Shu, he he he...
"Since I can't beat Laozi, I'll just join them. Like I'm crazy, using a shot put as Awakening Stone? What the hell, am I going to pick up a clod of dirt and it turns into a giant mushroom?"
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. Although he was happy to find a "kindred spirit," he was even happier that this "kindred spirit" had the idea of joining if they couldn't beat someone.
The reason I reject it is because...
"Why am I so resistant? Just because I'm a normal person? Normal people also need to eat, buy houses, and buy cars!"
Ling Yi:??? Aren't these all my words?
Sure enough, those "like-minded" are all in the same boat, even their complaints are pretty much the same, the main difference being that one keeps it to themselves while the other says it out loud.
"Starting with this awakening, I'll see what a shot put can do to Laozi!"
Ling Yi nodded. "Alright, let's start with this awakening."
However, Ling Yi then thought of his cheat ability.
Low-Profile System!
If you were to suddenly find yourself in a circle of immature, adolescent behavior, how could you keep a low profile? That's the question.
"From now on, I'm going to brainwash myself. I'm a lunatic, I'm a lunatic..." Lin Shu started chanting like a mantra!
Ling Yi shook his head. That's just chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), not mental illness. There's a difference, okay?
But let's forget about brainwashing ourselves.
I've only stepped into the world of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but I'm not actually chuunibyou; the key is in the acting skills.
Know when to be low-key, and when to be assertive.
"By the way, after I've finished awakening, which profession should I choose to make things easier to fool?" Lin Shu asked again.
Ling Yi was also pondering this question.
"Archer, I guess. I can just make my own bow and shoot arrows from a distance. I'm pretty good at archery and crafting. Okay, then I'll choose archer."
Lin Shu chose an archer? But in Ling Yi's opinion, an archer wasn't a very good choice.
Ling Yi knew very well just how terrifying these chuunibyou patients could be when they went into a fit.
Archers are still too easy to give themselves away.
Ling Yi is preparing to choose a priest.
"Actually, a priest would be the best choice, but unfortunately, I don't know any real Healing Technique. I can't just make random gestures, can I? So, I can only choose an archer!" Lin Shu continued chanting.
Ling Yi nodded. That makes sense.
However, Lin Shu doesn't know Healing Technique, but Ling Yi does!
These chuunibyou's Combat Skills are fake, but my Healing Technique can be real.
The Low-Profile Points Shop not only offers Healing Technique, but also Resurrection Technique.
A Healing Technique costs 1000 Low-Profile Points, Resurrection Technique Low-Profile Points —I can't afford those.
With this in mind, Ling Yi immediately felt reassured.
Hmm, should we talk to Lin Shu?
Forget it, let's not. Keeping a low profile is the best approach. We still need to earn some "Low-Profile Points."
Moreover, Lin Shu's personality is too unconventional; if you really get involved with him, it will be difficult to keep a low profile.
One by one, the students stepped forward and awakened.
The awakening method is very simple; just place your hand on the shot put for three seconds.
Then Director Li will reveal the other party's talent level and chosen profession.
The awakening process is not only about awakening your talents, but also about choosing a profession. This opportunity won't come again once it's gone.
Fortunately, Luo Yuhai had already discussed this with his classmates, so everyone had already made up their minds about which career to choose.
According to professionals, those with high talent rank generally choose Combat- related professions.
From Ninth Pin to Seventh Pin, choose a priest; from Sixth Pin to Fourth Pin, choose a warrior or archer; from Third Pin to First Pin, choose Mage.
In the hearts of these chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), the Mage is the most Divine, the most powerful, and the coolest profession.
Of course, this isn't always the case.
If you insist on choosing the Mage despite Ninth Pin talent, then nobody will care.
Many people, once they reach the Fifth Pin or Fifth Pin, will choose to become Mage.
" Liu Wenwen, Sixth Pin talent, professional Mage!" Director Li suddenly shouted from the front.
Meanwhile, a professional from the Awakening Bureau working alongside him will record the information on Computer.
Look at this, someone got all hot-headed and chose the Mage class with Sixth Pin talent!
Most students have a talent level between the Seventh Pin and Fifth Pin.
Ling Yi's class has a total of 60 students.
More than half of the time has passed, yet not a single talent of Fourth Pin or above has been discovered.
Of course, that's not important. What Ling Yi is really curious about is how Director Li managed to discern someone's awakened talent from a shot put.
How did those awakened students choose their careers, and how did Director Li discover their choices?
Ling Yi always felt that these chuunibyou patients were connected by something like synchronized brainwaves, forming a network.
A shared, albeit somewhat juvenile, system.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so uniformly immature.
From this perspective, it's quite a remarkable thing.
Take this " Awakening Stone " for example. It's clearly a lead ball, but everyone except him and Lin Shu thinks it's Awakening Stone.
That's awesome.
Ling Yi felt that he should investigate what happened fifty years ago, before the nationwide outbreak of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
There's definitely something wrong with this.
" White Moon, Second Pin talent, professional Mage!" Director Li suddenly shouted excitedly!
The whole class gasped in surprise.
Second Pin talent is an extremely high level of talent. Not to mention Baihai City No. 3 High School, the entire Baihai City hasn't seen a professional with a talent of Third Pin or higher for several years.
Is my deskmate really that amazing?
At this moment, White Moon's face was flushed with excitement.
Class teacher Luo Yuhai patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, stay by my side for now, and come with me to see the principal later."
"Okay, okay!"
Director Li laughed heartily and said, " Teacher Luo, congratulations! Our Baihai City has produced such a genius; we're all benefiting from it!"
Congratulations! Congratulations! Karmic Luck!
The other students in the class were incredibly envious and started discussing it enthusiastically.
"Wow, Second Pin! That means you're guaranteed admission to a professional training school, right?"
" Second Pin talent, Mage class, White Moon is about to rise!"
"Sigh, why is that? White Moon usually doesn't show off, how did she become Second Pin?"
"What are you saying? Why can't it be Second Pin? Stop with your Yin and Yang, what kind of nonsense is this!"
"No, I was just making a comment, how did that become Yin and Yang?"
"Alright, what's all the noise about? Quiet down and continue the awakening. Next up, Gao Yan!" Luo Yuhai slammed his hand on the table and shouted.
The students immediately quieted down when the homeroom teacher called out.
However, everyone's eyes were drawn to the beautiful figure walking towards the podium.
Gao Yan School Belle of Baihai City, but in Ling Yi's opinion, she really doesn't deserve the title of School Belle.
His appearance was somewhat sharp and acerbic.
However, compared to other girls, she developed earlier, her headlights were brighter, she knew how to dress up a bit, and there were traces of makeup on her face.
In reality, when it comes to looks, White Moon's potential is far greater than hers.
For Ling Yi, who had seen countless electronic beauties in his previous life, Gao Yan was simply...649.
Gao Yan, with an aloof demeanor, glanced at White Moon before placing her hand on the lead ball—or rather, the Awakening Stone.
" Gao Yan, Third Pin- grade talent, professional Mage!" Director Li's eyes lit up. Although Third Pin is not as good as Second Pin, she is still a good prospect.
" Teacher Luo, your excellent teacher rating this year is practically guaranteed!"
"It's all thanks to the students' own hard work!" Luo Yuhai grinned, his back teeth practically showing.
" Gao Yan, come here to me!"
"Yes, teacher!" Gao Yan nodded respectfully.
However, his expression was not pleasant, especially the way he looked at White Moon, which was filled with obvious jealousy.
"That woman is no good!" Lin Shu was in front of Ling Yi, muttered.
Regardless of whether she's a good or bad person, that little expression, that little look in her eyes, she really has the air of a vicious female villain.
After that, he never displayed any outstanding talent again.
In the end, only Lin Shu and Ling Yi remained.
Ling Yi was quite curious about what kind of talent Lin Shu, as a "kindred spirit," would awaken.
Second Pin, or First Pin?
The key question is, how should I choose a career?
Other people with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) all share the same chuunibyou system, so the images they see are probably different from those of normal people.
But in the eyes of Lin Shu and Ling Yi...
This Awakening Stone is like a shot put; how are you supposed to choose a class when you're holding down a shot put?
" Lin Shu, Ninth Pin talent, professional archer!" Director Li revealed Lin Shu's talent and profession.
Ling Yi frowned. Only Ninth Pin talent? That shouldn't be!
But the other students in the class thought it was normal.
This guy who's always at the bottom of the class is truly unacceptable if he didn't have Ninth Pin talent.
"So all you have to do is think about what kind of job you want? This is making me quite nervous," Lin Shu muttered to himself as he walked back.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to say to Lin Shu, "Thank you for being there, Warmth the four seasons."
" Ling Yi, you're the last one left, hurry up!" Luo Yuhai frowned and shouted when he saw Ling Yi staring blankly.
"Ahem, no rush, no rush!" Director Li quickly said.
Others might not know Ling Yi, but how could he not? This was at least a level 100 Big Shot, a terrifying being who could unleash his power and render him immobile with just his aura.
If Ling Yi hadn't intervened a year ago, not only Feng Town, but the entire Dafeng City would probably have been ravaged by those three Hell Demon Hound.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, instantly killed two and severely injured one with a single earth-based magic spell.
He's definitely a hidden Big Shot.
If Ling Yi hadn't just wanted to live a low-key life, he would have loved to bring Ling Yi to the Awakening Bureau and treat him like royalty.
With such a hidden Big Shot in charge, the Dafeng City Awakening Bureau can take off immediately.
What a pity, what a pity!
I guess the Big Shot will keep a low profile today, so I need to cooperate well!
Ling Yi walked to the front of the classroom and placed his hand on the shot put...
