...
Dongjiang City Fourth High School, Awakening Square.
The restless energy of thousands of students filled the sweltering air.
In the center of the square, a massive blue magic circle pulsed like a heart; each flicker of light held the fate of countless people.
"Class 3-2, Shen Qingni, S-rank Talent [Frost Empress]!"
The instructor's voice instantly rose an octave, cracking at the end.
In the center of the magic circle, ice crystals exploded out of thin air, and the temperature plummeted.
A cold-faced girl stood in the middle of the wind and snow, looking down like a deity upon mortals.
"Holy crap! S-rank!"
"She's taking off! This is the rhythm of being fast-tracked into Jingwu University!"
"I heard they've already prepared her SSS-rank dossier; she's a true national-level seed!"
The crowd instantly erupted, and countless gazes of envy, jealousy, and hatred almost drowned the girl.
In a corner, Jiang Feng stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly watching everything.
Having transmigrated to this high-martial Blue Star three years ago, he knew the rules of this world all too well.
Strength is truth; talent is class.
S-rank means being a cut above the rest.
"Next, Class 3-4, Jiang Feng!"
Hearing his name, Jiang Feng took a deep breath, pushed through the crowd, and walked onto the high platform.
Having lived two lives, although he was nervous, his mindset was relatively stable.
As long as it wasn't an F-rank lifestyle talent, whether it was fighting monsters or doing business, he could always survive.
Stand still, close eyes, sense.
Hum!
There was no S-rank golden light filling the sky, nor was there the A-rank purple aura from the east.
An unremarkable blue light lit up within the magic circle.
The instructor glanced at the panel, and his eyes, which had been hoping to discover a genius, instantly became dull: "Jiang Feng, awakening successful. Talent Rating: B-rank."
B-rank.
It was mediocre, but after Shen Qingni's dazzling S-rank, this result was as bland as plain water.
The instructor read mechanically: "Talent Name: [Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Talent]. Effect: Gain an extra 25% experience points for killing monsters."
The entire field went silent for a second.
Immediately after, sparse discussions spread, tinged with a bit of mockery.
"Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Talent? This name is just perfect."
"Isn't this just a pure tool-man talent? Besides leveling up a bit faster, it's useless; the combat power bonus is zero."
"It's fine. In the future, he can go to a guild to be a full-time power-leveler, specifically carrying bosses' alt accounts. A top choice for 'grinders,' he won't starve."
There were no vicious curses, but this kind of pity that labeled someone as a 'high-level laborer' was often more heart-stabbing.
A top student with full marks in theory classes ended up awakening a 'power-leveling' talent; it really was a blow to the psyche.
Jiang Feng's expression didn't change.
Because at the moment the instructor announced the result, a cold mechanical voice that only he could hear boomed in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Abnormal host identity detected, powerful soul found, "Pangu Heavenly God" system being forcibly bound...]
[Permission override beginning, your B-rank talent "Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Talent" has been stack-promoted!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the unique hidden talent: Infinite Grade: Pangu Plunder!]
Infinite Grade?
Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Normally, talent levels are divided from F-rank to SSS-rank, totaling nine major grades.
As for what talents lay beyond that, Jiang Feng wasn't sure.
But judging by the talent grade, Jiang Feng felt it was extremely powerful!
Subsequently...
He quickly pulled up the system panel that only he could see.
[Talent: Pangu Plunder (Infinite Grade)]
[Disguised Display: Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Talent (B-rank)]
[True Effect: Breaks the restrictions of laws. Every time you kill any hostile unit (monsters, NPCs, players, etc.), based on a comprehensive assessment of the target's level, attributes, and strength, you forcibly plunder a corresponding number of free attribute points.]
[Note: Killing monsters makes you stronger! The stronger the target, the more attribute points plundered; there is no upper limit on attribute distribution!]
After reading the introduction, Jiang Feng almost lost control of his facial expression.
In this world, every time an ordinary professional levels up, they only get 5 free attribute points after working themselves to death.
Even for an S-rank genius, relying on talent bonuses, the maximum is no more than twenty or thirty points.
But this talent of his... gives attribute points just for killing monsters?
If killing one monster gives 1 point, killing ten thousand monsters gives ten thousand points!
What kind of concept is that?
This isn't "Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Talent"; this is clearly "taking a shortcut"!
"Jiang Feng,Don't be stunned., go over there and choose a class."
Seeing him not moving, the instructor gave an impatient urge, "With your talent, I suggest choosing a Knight or a Priest. They're tanky enough to withstand monsters and can heal; it'll be easier to leech experience."
Jiang Feng snapped back to reality, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Knight?
Priest?
His vision was too small.
Since killing monsters could grant attribute points, the core logic was only one thing: efficiency!
Only by killing fast enough would attribute points come in large enough quantities.
As long as there are enough attribute points, if I put a hundred million points into Constitution and Wisdom respectively, even a Mage can tank a World Boss!
He walked to the class registration desk, grabbed the Guidance Crystal, and spoke very quickly:
"Class change, Mage."
"Huh?"
The registrar's hand shook, and he looked at him like he was an idiot. "Student, I understand you, but please don't be impulsive! You only have a B-rank support talent. Mage equipment is expensive, they're fragile, and have high mana consumption. They have no damage in the early stage. Choosing this class is purely for a laugh."
Mages were recognized as a pay-to-win class and also a "rich man's class."
Without money, background, or a powerful combat talent, choosing a Mage was just making a fool of oneself.
"I'm sure."
Jiang Feng's tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable firmness.
"Fine, student, I respect your choice."
The registrar shook his head helplessly and added, "Don't forget, I did warn you! Sigh, young people these days are really stubborn."
Light descended, and a warm current surged.
[Class Change Successful! Class: Mage]
[Learned Skill: Fireball (Lv1)]
After the successful class change, Jiang Feng turned and headed straight for the portal entrance in the center of the square.
This was the gateway to the "Magic Realm" world, and he didn't want to waste a single moment.
"Jiang Feng!"
A cold voice called out to him.
The school beauty, Shen Qingni, pushed aside the circle of "simps" surrounding her and walked straight up to Jiang Feng.
Her brow furrowed slightly, her eyes carrying a high-and-mighty "concern" typical of top students: "Why did you choose a Mage? It's hard for Mages to survive in the early stage. We're going to grind at the 'Grey Wolf Plains' and need a bait to lure monsters. Do you want to come? I'll give you ten percent of the experience."
The percentage of experience and drops can be adjusted for the team.
Giving Jiang Feng a ten percent cut was actually considered quite good.
Sure enough...
The boys around them instantly turned red with envy, looking at Jiang Feng as if he were their father's killer.
This was an S-rank school beauty's team!
Even as cannon fodder bait, it was an opportunity many could only dream of!
Jiang Feng paused and looked at the favored daughter of heaven before him.
Bait for luring monsters?
It sounded nice, but it was actually just being a human shield.
Moreover, teaming up meant splitting experience and loot.
Most importantly, Jiang Feng disliked being a simp for others; he prioritized self-improvement and letting strength speak for itself.
"No need."
Jiang Feng didn't even give her a second look. Dropping those two words, he walked toward that pitch-black Tower of Heaven without looking back.
Shen Qingni froze on the spot, her expression one of bewilderment.
I was actually rejected?
Rejected by a trash with a B-rank talent?
"Holy cow! Who do you think you're fooling?!"
A lackey nearby immediately jumped out to protect his mistress. "You ungrateful thing! A piece of trash who can only share experience, what more do you want? I bet you can't even beat a single chicken!"
"Exactly, a fusion of a noob and trash!"
"Hilarious, does he really think he's some hidden big shot?"
The mocking voices behind him didn't cause Jiang Feng's steps to falter in the slightest.
He stood before the massive teleportation vortex of the Magic Tower, his body scanned by light, and his permissions were granted.
A row of blood-red warnings popped up on his retina:
[Warning: Solo mode detected!]
[Novices are strongly advised to team up! Dying solo will result in a 100% loss of current experience and a 12-hour weakened state! (All attributes reduced by 60%)]
[Do you wish to continue courting death?]
Jiang Feng gripped the novice broken wooden staff in his hand, his eyes shining with a persistent light.
He only needed to kill one.
Even if it was just the weakest chicken, he could verify just how insane this talent really was.
[Target: Mutated Chicken Farm (Lv1)]
"Enter dungeon."
