Hmph, go to hell with your strength!
Chen Ran watched Ye Mingqiu's departing figure, and an overwhelming sense of sadness and loneliness rose in his heart. We clearly agreed to slack off together, so why are you suddenly taking off?
Oh, right, this guy has been acting strange lately. Even though he says he's an orphan with no financial support, with the Support System's resources, he shouldn't be living this poorly. He must have either spent the money on something or saved it up.
Initially, I thought he was saving it, but now it seems different. He definitely planned this, spending money to break through the Grand Line, finding a new way, and turning the tables to latch onto a wealthy woman.
How despicable!
Absolutely detestable!
I must swindle him for a couple of drinks!
....
In front of the director's office
Ye Mingqiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mental state... He couldn't possibly go see the director with a pale face, right? That would be a bad idea.
After a brief pause, he looked slightly better and gently knocked on the office door.
"Knock knock knock."
"Come in."
"Click!"
Ye Mingqiu opened the office door and was met with the sight of Director Zheng sitting behind the desk, hands intertwined under his nose, smiling.
"Hello, Ye Mingqiu."
He said with an elegant demeanor.
"Hello, Director Zheng."
Ye Mingqiu replied politely, thinking to himself: As expected of a director-level powerhouse, the pressure is indeed extraordinary, much stronger than the homeroom teacher Old Li. Just sitting there, he seemed like an imposing mountain.
The next moment, Director Zheng pushed a contract on the table forward and said, "This is the contract to join the college entrance exam preparation team. Once you sign it, you will officially join the team."
"Thank you for your guidance, Director."
Ye Mingqiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the contract and carefully examined it.
Manners are manners, but you must read the contract. If the school pulls a fast one, it would be disastrous, even though nothing like that has happened before. It's always better to be careful, and the director wouldn't say anything about him reading the contract.
His actions caught Zheng Xuejun's attention, whose eyes narrowed and smiled, raising his assessment of Ye Mingqiu.
Maintaining caution at all times is a virtue for a Spiritualist. In the Spirit Realm, no one knows what could happen next, and cautious people always achieve more.
Watching Ye Mingqiu meticulously read the contract, the director asked, "Ye Mingqiu, do you know why I chose you?"
"Because my Basic Attributes are low and highly moldable, my Talent significantly boosts my Abilities, making it easier to obtain a Hero Level profession," Ye Mingqiu answered.
After participating in the Spirit Realm trials, the obtainable Professional Levels are mainly divided into five levels: Internship, Ordinary, Elite, Lord, and Hero.
The higher the level, the stronger the profession. The Hero Level is the most powerful.
For the Support System, having more than ten points in Mental Attributes is one of the prerequisites for obtaining a Hero Level profession. However, almost no one completes a Hero Level profession trial with a Spirit of 10, so Hero Level Support System individuals are exceptionally rare.
"Indeed,"
Zheng Xuejun nodded with a smile and continued, "As of now, only one student in the twelfth-grade Support System has officially become a Spiritualist. She is your system's number one, Xia Qingxue. Do you know what profession she obtained?"
"I don't know."
"Prayer, an Elite Level profession. But this profession is quite strong among elites, somewhat overpowered, and is called a reinforced elite, although the Spirit Realm doesn't have this concept."
"Only Elite Level?"
Ye Mingqiu widened his eyes, somewhat surprised.
"Is Elite Level weak?"
Zheng Xuejun sneered and continued, "I guess Tang Ruobing might have said something to you, leading you to misunderstand the strength of professions and have unrealistic expectations. So I must clarify what level ordinary people can reach and how high the ceiling is."
"At this stage, Elite Level is the limit for most Support System members. To advance to Lord Level requires more Specialty accumulation, spending more time and money to stack Skills and Specialties, and having stronger Abilities."
"Given your Talent, you might reach the threshold of Lord Level once your Attributes meet the standards. However, obtaining a Hero Level profession is probably unrealistic. But even a Lord Level Support is still worth our investment. Being Lord Level is already very powerful, even in the late stage of the college entrance exams, Lord Level is quite impressive."
Ye Mingqiu gradually fell silent. Actually, the textbooks and classroom teachings are even harsher than the director's words. They said that even reaching Ordinary Level is sufficient for Support System members since their numbers are few. Even if the Professional Level is lower, they are still in demand when forming teams.
Looking at the plus sign on his panel and his three talents, he said earnestly, "Although it's difficult, I will persevere and work hard to reach my ideal Other Shore."
The director was slightly moved.
"Director, in this brief life, I clearly feel the limitations of Talent. The more I want to surpass them, the more I'm constrained, like being wrapped in an invisible net, losing power, unable to fight back... But even so, I still want to use my meager Talent and unwavering belief, unyielding Will to seek out the future that only exists in dreams."
With determination, Ye Mingqiu said, "I want to see the view from higher up."
"Then go for it,"
Zheng Xuejun simply added with a smile, "Oh, if your final Professional Level is below Elite Level, you'll need to pay twenty million in breach of contract fees to the school."
"No way."
Ye Mingqiu replied confidently, signing his name on the contract. Just kidding, if he can't even reach Elite Level, he might as well just drop dead on the spot.
"By the way, do you have a conflict with Tang Ruobing?" Zheng Xuejun suddenly asked.
"Uh? What's the matter?"
Ye Mingqiu's heart skipped a beat, thinking this was not good.
But he quickly recovered because he was sure that the junior Broken Ice Sugar was not the type to report him behind his back. Even if she did, he wouldn't be signing this contract so easily.
"Well..."
The director awkwardly smiled and said, "She's engraved your face on all the fixed targets in her personal training room and hits them hard every time she trains."
"Oh, it's nothing, just throwing a little tantrum."
Ye Mingqiu said with relief.
"Did you know each other before?"
Ye Mingqiu thought for a moment and answered, "We played the same game, so I guess we know each other."
"Oh,"
the director nodded slightly and said, "Next, let me introduce the basic benefits of joining the college entrance exam preparation team."
