"Have the other two not arrived yet?" Xiang Beifei inquired.
"They have arrived. They went to the Academic Affairs Office—they—" Li Zimu hesitated for a moment then said, "They went to give feedback on the dormitory allocation issue."
"Dormitory allocation?"
"Anyway, when they come back, you'll find out, so let's be honest, they don't want to share a dormitory with you," Li Zimu said.
Xiang Beifei simply nodded, not particularly surprised. For high-ranking Awakeners, sharing a dormitory with an N-level was quite embarrassing.
These two were quite sincere; they had directly gone to the Academic Affairs Office to report.
"What about you?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"I don't mind," Li Zimu smiled and said, "There's an old saying, 'Judging a horse misses its thinness, judging a scholar misses his poverty, similarly, judging a friend misses their syste. Treating people based on their system is unwise.'
It was rare for an SR-level Awakener to not be arrogant or dismissive, and still maintain polite mannerisms. Although his speech was old-fashioned, it made quite sense.
Reading more is indeed useful.
Xiang Beifei smiled, organizing his desk a bit.
However, Li Zimu, still curious, asked, "There are various rumors about you outside, did you really kill twenty Triangular Thunder Kraits alone in the outside desolate realm just by yourself?"
"How did it even turn into twenty?" Xiang Beifei said, feeling rather troubled.
The rumors were indeed getting more absurd.
"Is it not so?" Li Zimu asked.
"Just two Triangular Thunder Kraits, don't trust the internet rumors," Xiang Beifei said.
"That's still very impressive!"
Li Zimu exclaimed, pulling out a book titled "Desolate Beast Cognition and Anatomy." He flipped to the section about the Triangular Thunder Kraits and showed it to Xiang Beifei, saying:
"I specifically read about the Triangular Thunder Kraits. This type of desolate beast is almost unbeatable at the Qi-Controlling stage; impervious to blades and bullets, its only weakness is its eyes. But, if you try to poke its eyes, it will close them defensively!"
"One must strike when it fires lightning, but the lightning can destroy anything. You only have a fleeting moment to dodge the lightning, and it is hard to seize the opportunity. Managing to do this, you cannot be just an ordinary person!"
Although he possessed the power of Poetic Kill, he admitted that he had no countermeasures when facing the Triangular Thunder Kraits. Therefore, he believed Xiang Beifei could not possibly be a mere N-level Awakener.
"Just lucky," Xiang Beifei still said simply.
"Hmph, relying on luck! Getting by on luck in a prestigious university isn't that easy,"
Just then, a cold voice came from the dormitory entrance.
It was a male student dressed in a stylish suit, his clothes were exquisite, and he was handsome.
[Host: Long Guocheng]
[SR, Spotlight System]
[Stage: Mid Qi-Controlling]
Long Guocheng, that was the other SR-level Awakener in this dormitory.
"That's not entirely true, sometimes luck is also part of the strength," Li Zimu said.
"If he wasn't an Awakener of the Luck System, then that statement would be meaningless for him," Long Guocheng said, looking at Xiang Beifei with arrogant eyes.
Xiang Beifei was seriously examining the other's system—
[Spotlight System: Gains strength from the attention of all within a hundred meters. Whether it's a desolate beast or a human, anyone who looks at you for five seconds will make you stronger! The longer they look, the more attention value they generate!]
[Yuchi Shen looked at you for five seconds, attention value +5]
[Meng Yuekai looked at you for five seconds, attention value +5]
This [SR-level Spotlight System] computes in five-second intervals. If the gaze shifts away and then returns, it must be counted anew, but it still generates attention value!
This fellow not becoming a mega star is truly a waste of this system!
Although limited to within a hundred meters, and it seems a person can only give a maximum of fifteen attention points per day, if he were to become a singer and hold concerts, everyone would stare at him, undoubtedly strengthening him.
As long as he becomes the focus of the crowd, he could become extremely powerful.
This ability, apart from being looked at, has no other special traits; his combat power needs to be purchased from a marketplace and also needs time for cultivation. One ability he is currently cultivating is Vision Pressure, which is the pressure exerted by a gaze.
If he looks at a wall, he will convert attention value into immense pressure, and shatter that wall!
It is literally "seeing through" that wall!
The legendary laser eyes fall under the category of Vision Pressure, only his Vision Pressure is silent and colorless, without the flashy red lasers.
When laser eyes emit a red shockwave, others can react, but his Vision Pressure, being invisible and colorless, hits the target as soon as it is seen, making it hard to dodge!
Of course, what he can pierce depends on the level of cultivation. If his own cultivation isn't enough to pierce a target, he can use attention value to substitute.
For instance, his current cultivation is not enough to pierce a person's skin with Vision Pressure alone, but by expending fifty thousand attention value, he can achieve it. To pierce a wall, it costs two hundred thousand attention value!
When Long Guocheng uses Vision Pressure, it requires a huge consumption of attention value, and he currently has [564605] attention value. Depending on the intensity of the gaze pressure, the expenditure of attention value varies!
Using system values to execute Vision Pressure often leads to losses, because if the target is a person, one must also consider the other's level and defenses; sometimes, fifty thousand is far from sufficient.
