Li Wei thought that his actions would remain unnoticed.
But he did not expect.
That at this moment, most of Sun Hailan's attention was focused on him.
Funny to say, but although this girl was beautiful, and many considered her a goddess, her ice-cold character and temperament repelled many guys. Throughout the time she was growing up, there were only a few guys who really dared to court her and show affection toward her.
Li Wei, who had given Sun Hailan the Essence Crystal of Flame right away — something that could be called the rarest treasure — truly shocked this girl!
Had she fallen in love with Li Wei? Of course not.
However, now Li Wei occupied a completely different place in the girl's heart than others.
Besides, Sun Hailan was not an ungrateful person. Having received such a priceless Essence Crystal of Flame, even out of simple gratitude she could not ignore Li Wei.
Therefore.
When she discovered that Li Wei was secretly merging with the Star Guardian legacy card, the girl was shocked.
"Li Wei! What are you doing?"
Sun Hailan cried out, and the flame in her palm extinguished by itself.
Hearing this, everyone looked toward Li Wei and saw that this guy had already completed the merger with the Star Guardian legacy card.
At the moment the merger was completed, a phantom image of a majestic figure in silver-white armor, surrounded by faint starlight, appeared behind Li Wei...
This was a normal phenomenon.
When merging with any ancient legacy, such a phantom image would appear.
Everyone was already used to it.
It was just that this time Li Wei's actions in merging shocked everyone even more than Sun Hailan's demonstration of the flame ability!
Because, in the opinion of most people, this guy Li Wei, although he called it an exchange, had actually simply given the goddess the Essence Crystal of Flame — a typical act of a simp.
After all, after the Star Guardian legacy card was recognized as a trash talent, only an idiot would want to merge with it!
And who would have thought that this guy Li Wei would actually decide to secretly merge with it?
The phantom image looked imposing, but, according to general opinion, it was completely useless!
"Damn! Has this guy... completely lost his mind?"
"Definitely, otherwise what normal person would do such a stupid thing?"
"He merged with the useless Star Guardian legacy, what is he planning to do? Voluntarily go to a supernatural place to die?"
"I get it, he probably didn't want Sun Hailan to feel guilty, so he did this, voluntarily seeking death... Not even caring about his own life, simps are really scary creatures."
"Holy shit, this is just insane! Such a simp — probably the coolest simp in the world? The King of Simps, he deserves this title!"
"I'm shocked, today I really saw a lot."
. . .
The hall became noisy.
Hearing the whispers below, Sun Hailan looked at Li Wei, her beautiful eyes wide open.
Could this young man really love her to such an extent?
To not burden her with guilt, he was willing to merge with a useless talent and go to certain death?
She couldn't believe it!
But the facts were right in front of her, and she had to believe them.
Apart from this reason, she couldn't think of any other that would make Li Wei act so unreasonably.
"Li Wei, you... I, I am not worth you doing this..."
Stammering, Sun Hailan said.
This "love" was so strong that she didn't know what to do.
And what about Li Wei!
He didn't even turn around.
And simply ran away...
Li Wei had no interest in standing on the stage and playing the clown. Since the goal had been achieved, everything that was happening at school no longer mattered to him.
Therefore he ran out of the school.
Right now he couldn't wait to test his newly acquired "Star Guardian legacy"...
However, in the eyes of those around him, his escape looked like a panicked flight after his intentions had been exposed!
"Look! I told you! I knew what this guy was thinking."
"Bro, you really get it! Are you perhaps a simp too?"
"Damn, I thought that if I could get a decent Essence Crystal in the Sacred Land, I would muster up the courage to court Goddess Sun, but now I bow down to this brother surnamed Li!"
"Yeah! I couldn't do that, giving such an extremely rare and valuable natural-type Essence Crystal to a girl."
"Hey! Look at senior student Sun, she seems to be touched too?"
On the stage.
Sun Hailan stared at Li Wei's "pitiful fleeing" figure and couldn't come to her senses for a long time...
. . .
After leaving the school, Li Wei immediately called a driverless taxi and headed into the city.
The taxi drove along the road, and through the window one could see countless skyscrapers on both sides. From time to time flying vehicles passed in the sky.
From this it could be concluded that the technology of this world far surpassed that of Earth.
However, at this moment Li Wei was not in the mood to admire it.
Sitting in the taxi, he mentally activated the attribute panel, which looked like a hologram and appeared in his left eye.
[Race: Human]
[Physique: 10]
[Spirit: 11]
[Strength: 10]
[Agility: 10]
[Talent: Star Guardian Legacy]
[Spiritual Energy Points: 0]
. . .
This was Li Wei's current attribute panel, very simple.
He was quite satisfied with the attributes of this body.
Because for a normal adult male, all attributes fluctuate around 10-12 points.
The fact that he, who had just reached adulthood, had such attributes meant that he was very healthy.
The attribute panel was not Li Wei's personal cheat.
In fact, every person would have an attribute panel appear in their left eye after using a supernatural ability.
The panel was mainly used to record the current attributes of a superhuman and to adjust the direction of development.
After all, the supernatural abilities in the Sacred Land were different: some focused on strength, and one mainly needed to develop the strength attribute. For some a strong spirit was required, and the spirit attribute needed to be significantly increased. There were also other abilities that could focus on speed, physique, and so on...
Besides, each person's attribute panel could only be seen by themselves.
When Li Wei saw the talent line "Star Guardian Legacy" in his attribute panel, his eyes lit up.
"I bet everything on you, you must not let me down!"
He said quietly.
More than ten minutes later.
The taxi successfully arrived at the destination.
Li Wei paid, the door automatically opened, he got out of the car and raised his head.
In front of him was quite a luxurious establishment.
The store's design was done in a futuristic techno style, and the name of the store was also interesting: "Stellar Bath"!
In fact, this was a specialized salon offering "star baths" — sessions of absorbing pure stellar energy through special high-concentration Stellar Crystals.
Although people had long been accustomed to life without bright sunlight, far-sighted high-ranking officials and scientists, fearing that one day the star would completely go out, constantly studied stellar energy.
Moreover, the Sacred Land would occasionally provide high-tech artifacts, which greatly advanced research in the field of stellar radiation.
At present, scientists could already create Stellar Crystals of pure energy with very high concentration.
It was just that this technology was still immature and could not be applied on a large scale.
Such "Stellar Bath" salons were created by the state to profit from research projects and at the same time to help those who needed stellar energy.
It was precisely knowing this that Li Wei dared to exchange the Essence Crystal of Flame for the Star Guardian legacy!
He understood that ordinary possessors of this legacy could hardly use such crystals effectively. Their bodies were simply not adapted to absorbing energy under the weak background of the Star.
But for him — a transmigrator from the Blue Star — everything was different.
His cells had been accustomed since birth to squeezing every bit of stellar energy from an almost empty sky. They had become hungry, insatiable. Therefore, when he held a real Stellar Crystal of pure energy in his hands, his body would be able to absorb it with incredible efficiency — almost without loss.
This was his real advantage.
Li Wei smiled slightly, entered the building and headed to the registration counter.
Today he would finally check how much his "Star Guardian legacy" differed from all the others.
