At the Mystic Radiance Academy, the top-ranking students from wealthy families, such as Luosi, who comes from a wealthy background and has high potential, have a dedicated team of private coaches and battlefield Analysis to serve them. From the moment they enroll, they are preparing them for the various competitions they will face.

After the dinner party, Wen Jing returned to her dormitory. With a thought, a thin bronze piece fell into her palm.

She held the bronze bronze and examined it carefully.

The thin sheet had no text or patterns on it, only a slight inward curve, but it didn't look particularly Sharpness, and the edges still had some thickness.

"The dean said he developed it himself, so it seems the Wilderness Weapon itself doesn't come with any skills... But its size is enough to serve as a vehicle for my Wilderness Body."

Wen Jing used energy to control the bronze sheet, attempting to make it fly and move in the air.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

She familiarized herself with the newly acquired Wilderness Weapon and gradually increased her speed. In any case, its design was clearly not for a handheld weapon, but rather could be developed in the direction of bullets. She just didn't know how strong the Wilderness Weapon itself was.

With a sudden shift in thought, the bronze shard lost control of its speed and accidentally sliced into the white desk in the dormitory.

"Click--"

The desk, made of a special polymer material, was split open, leaving a semi-circular cut.

"Beep beep beep!"

The alarm went off immediately because public property in the free dormitory had been damaged.

Amidst the alarm, Wen Jing noticed some bluish marks remaining at the cut of the desk, and immediately pulled back the bronze slab to examine it closely.

This is Wilderness Weapon! I hope it's not going to be damaged like this.

Thinking this to himself, Wen Jing was shocked to discover that... a little bit of green had indeed fallen off the surface of the thin slice!

This patch of green is very small, hardly a sign of serious damage, but Wen Jing, who had observed it carefully before, was certain that it had indeed lost a patch of green about half the size of a grain of rice.

Wait, are Wilderness Weapon really that fragile? Can they be repaired?

Wen Jing quickly turned his head and peered at the cut on the desk.

Spots of greenish-blue stains seeped into the cut edges of the white desk, at first glance resembling paint chipped off a thin bronze sheet due to a collision with the desk.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these marks do not originate from the surface, but rather from within the cut itself.

Hmm? Is this change an effect of the Wilderness Weapon itself?

Wen Jing began to have a guess.

She thought for a moment. Although Dean Bai seemed carefree, he was actually very reliable. If it were an unsafe Wilderness Weapon, he probably wouldn't use it as a competition reward. So she reached out and tried to pry the area stained with green.

It was less like breaking it and more like bumping into it.

Before Wen Jing could exert much force, the area stained with green crumbled into pieces of varying sizes, like dry chalk, and fell to the ground.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

This directly altered the molecular structure of the desk?!

Don't let the unassuming white desk fool you; as furniture used in the dormitories of Awakened, it is actually extremely hard and tough, and ordinary people would never be able to damage it without tools.

Wen Jing reached out again to pry off the less stained part, and then pried off the unstained white part of the desk.

Sure enough, the former crumbled along the greenish-blue mark with just a little force, while the latter, as before, could not be destroyed without considerable force.

However, the cost is that the Wilderness Weapon itself will also lose some of its material...

If this were used to attack Wilderness Beast or enemies, would it have the same effect?

"Knock knock knock!"

As Wen Jing was lost in thought, he was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.

Chapter 61

The knocking interrupted Wen Jing's thoughts. She glanced at the damaged desk, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.

Sure enough, after opening the door, I saw the dormitory manager standing in front of it.

The dormitory supervisor works on a rotating basis, and this month it's the same supervisor Wen Jing met when she first moved in.

Moreover, the moment the door opened, Wen Jing clearly felt the other person observing her with a tense expression, secretly preparing to strike.

This scene made Wen Jing tense up as well. While secretly being vigilant, he asked, "What's wrong?"

After observing her condition, the dormitory supervisor actually relaxed.

"What did you do in the dorm...? Hmm? Was it you?"

Halfway through the conversation, the dormitory manager clearly recognized Wen Jing.

This was the first time the college had introduced a virtual reality-based grade ranking competition. Such a grand event was watched even by staff members who weren't in the venue, using their smart devices.

Anyone who watched this competition will recognize Wen Jing.

"Didn't we already say we can't vandalize public property?"

"Uh, I accidentally..."

Wen Jing stepped aside and quickly understood why the dormitory manager had been so wary from the start.

The items in the communal dormitory are made of special materials that cannot be destroyed unless Awakened deliberately uses their energy. Under normal circumstances, an Awakened would not inexplicably cause damage to their own residence.

Therefore, if this happens, we need to be wary of the possibility that the student is experiencing Genetic Collapse.

Perhaps the main reason why the communal dormitory needs to have an Awakened on duty is this...

The dormitory supervisor glanced at the white desk that Wen Jing had smashed, and remembering that she had won Wilderness Weapon as a reward in the competition today, she immediately understood why.

"You need to pay for the damage to public property. The bill has already been sent to your terminal. If you don't pay within three days, it will be automatically deducted." She looked at Wen Jing's embarrassed expression, a smile appearing in her eyes.

"The academy has dedicated training rooms; applicants with a compatibility score of 10% or higher can apply to use them."

"Okay, okay," Wen Jing replied repeatedly.

The dormitory manager notified the logistics department via the smart terminal, saying, "It's alright, a robot will bring a new table soon, and the broken one will be recycled."

Wen Jing glanced at the broken table and quickly said, "Can I fix this broken one myself?"

Thinking about the special properties of this Wilderness Weapon, she decided to ask Dean Bai again later.

"Sure." The dormitory manager was only slightly surprised, but did not refuse.

The dorm supervisor, having finished explaining, was about to leave when he suddenly turned back halfway through his turn. "Forget it, you might as well just move out."

"Um?"

Wen Jing was completely bewildered. Hadn't everything been resolved? The 500 credits bill for the desk had already been paid off instantly!

The dorm supervisor laughed and said, "It's past midnight."

At twelve o'clock... Wen Jing's smart terminal received the golden letter on time.

Moreover, compared to the usual class settlements, this time the envelopes were noticeably larger and brighter, and even the sound effects were louder.

Wen Jing:

You ranked first in your grade this season! You are awarded the title ' First in the Grade ' and the right to live in Villa No. 4, Area A, Fenghua Residential Complex.

I hope you maintain your peak performance and break through your own limits!

--Red Earth Academy Academic Affairs Department

Looking at the villa living rights behind him, Wen Jing recalled the information he had learned when he enrolled: the top ten students in the grade could live in a large villa awarded by the academy!

Having gotten used to living in free apartments, she had almost forgotten about this.

At the same time, she also received a message called 'Villa Smart Butler'.

"Hello Master, I am your smart butler. I am happy to serve you for the next three months. All the basic furniture in the villa has been replaced. You are welcome to move in at any time. If you need anything else, please let me know and I will prepare it."

Wow, this villa is something else! We never had this kind of luxury back in our School District Planet.

"Okay, I'll move right away." Wen Jing to the dormitory manager, then looked back and realized she didn't have much luggage to pack—with the self-cleaning academy uniform, her old clothes were no longer needed.

Not only her, but most of the other students in the academy also wear school uniforms. The academy only gives each Awakened one school uniform. Technology also iterates, and there may be other combat uniforms on the market that are more outstanding in one aspect, but the school uniform is definitely the most balanced in all aspects.

As for other daily necessities, the villa obviously has everything.

So Wen Jing went into the house and carried the broken desk away.

"What's the big deal? It's such a big fuss that you're going to have to move out."

The commotion in front of Wen Jing Dormitory also attracted the attention of other students living nearby. Most students would stay up all night to wait for the monthly rankings to be finalized.

Many people opened their doors and came out to see what was going on.

Just then, Wen Jing came out of the apartment carrying a broken desk...

"Ugh--!"

Among those who opened the door to watch the commotion, all the first-graders immediately turned their faces away or covered their eyes.

In that fleeting glance, they couldn't make out Wen Jing's appearance at all, nor could they even see the dormitory supervisor at the entrance. On this night, where the natural night and the Ancient Wilderness Night overlapped, it felt as if a small sun had risen on the 20th floor, shining brightly.

Now everyone knew who was about to move out.

In the darkness, Wen Jing carried the broken table and ran to the new dormitory following the navigation.

Wherever it went, any first-year university student inevitably suffered from severe light pollution.

In the previous season's grade rankings, the first place only exceeded the grade average by 100 credits, while Wen Jing now exceeds the grade average by 300 points, which is dazzlingly bright.

The grade-level results are out.

"My God, it's so bright! Just how high are Wen Jing's credits?!"

"Running around outside so late at night, are you trying to show off?"

"This isn't normal. If it were me, I'd run three laps around the academy!"

Along the way, he naturally attracted many envious glances, as everyone thought that Wen Jing wanted to show off after winning First in the Grade.

Her frugality in saving money on taxi fares is destined to be misunderstood by everyone...

*

Half an hour later, following the signs, Wen Jing arrived at Fenghua Residential Complex exclusively for top students.
