79: Chapter 79 Mage Turret

She met Fang Che's gaze.

Their eyes locked, and the air inside the blanket seemed to stagnate.

Scenes of last night's madness flashed repeatedly through her mind. Su Qingxue's cheeks instantly flushed red, and a hint of shyness dyed her ice-blue eyes.

To be honest, she was too embarrassed to look at him right now and hurriedly buried her head deep into Fang Che's chest.

Su Qingxue moved in his arms and muttered softly, "I... I really feel like I've become much stronger."

Her voice carried a hint of uncertainty, but more than that, it held an irrepressible joy.

Fang Che smiled.

"To tell you the truth, it's not just a feeling; it's the truth."

He could feel that the cold energy within Su Qingxue was countless times stronger than before. This indicated that her Talent: Heart of Frost had been completely activated and had been greatly enhanced along with her attribute increase.

"Let's get up, it's dawn," Fang Che said softly. "We still have things to do."

Su Qingxue gave a hum of acknowledgment before reluctantly crawling out of his arms.

The two of them began to get dressed.

Just then, movement came from the bed opposite them.

Teacher Qin Bing and Mu Waner sat up almost simultaneously.

"Oh my... it's dawn already, I slept so well." Teacher Qin Bing stretched lazily, intentionally yawning, her voice filled with a sense of affectation.

Truth be told, she had been tortured all night, and now, forcing herself to put on an appearance of calm and serenity, she was already bubbling with envy inside.

Mu Waner chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I slept really soundly last night; I didn't hear anything at all."

As she spoke, she stole glances at Fang Che and Su Qingxue from the corner of her eye.

Su Qingxue was thin-skinned. Being teased like this by them, her face turned so red it was almost dripping blood, and she kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone.

Fang Che, however, remained composed. He straightened his clothes and jumped off the bed to stretch his muscles.

Teacher Qin Bing and Mu Waner's gazes landed on him and quickly shifted away; their expressions were incredibly complex, almost as if they were melting.

Especially when they saw Su Qingxue, who was now dressed, both of them were stunned.

The girl before them had long, jet-black hair with tips frosted in a layer of crystalline white, her skin fair, faintly exuding a subtle chill.

What was most incredible were her eyes, which had turned a pure ice-blue. This changed her aura completely, transforming her from a cold school beauty into an aloof Ice Queen.

"Qingxue, you..." Teacher Qin Bing gaped, not knowing what to say.

Damn! She's practically been reborn? This attribute bonus is just too ridiculous!

She was calculating furiously in her mind, and her gaze toward Fang Che became even more eager.

This thigh, I must hold onto it tightly! This is a moving golden thigh; I must become an accessory to it!

"Let's head out and regroup with the others." Fang Che broke the awkward atmosphere in the dormitory.

When Fang Che led the three women out of Dorm 101, girls from other dormitories were also coming out one after another in the hallway.

A night of fear and anxiety had left everyone looking haggard and listless.

When they saw Su Qingxue following behind Fang Che, everyone was stunned, standing rooted to the spot.

"Is... is that Su Qingxue?"

"My god! What happened to her eyes and hair? She's so beautiful!"

Jiang Ning and Gu Nanzhi stood in the crowd, watching the reborn Su Qingxue, feeling extremely sour inside.

Of course, they knew exactly what this meant.

Last night, everyone had heard the system broadcast.

[Notification: Successfully completed the first Creation Agreement with Survivor Su Qingxue. All attributes for both parties permanently +5.]

[Absolute Critical Hit in progress... Critical Hit multiplier determined to be: ×8!]

[Final determination: Fang Che all attributes +40! Su Qingxue all attributes +40!]

A Critical Hit of forty points to all attributes at once! What does that mean? It's equivalent to leveling up several times out of thin air; she's completely taken off!

Fang Che scanned the crowd. "Everyone, get ready. We're going to the Infirmary."

"We got the ID card for the Infirmary yesterday, so let's go see if we can find any clues and scavenge for some medicine while we're at it."

The team reassembled and headed toward the building where the Infirmary was located.

Just as they stepped out of the dormitory building and onto the corridor connecting to the Teaching Building, the surrounding scene began to change in a bizarre way.

The walls began to twist and flow, large patches of dark red stains seeped from the ceiling, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood and rot.

"Roar!"

In front of the corridor, a massive tear opened in space.

Students wearing tattered school uniforms, their faces featureless, poured out from within, roaring. They were densely packed, numbering at least several dozen!

The atmosphere of the school became even more manic and dangerous.

Fang Che's eyes narrowed as he gripped the fire axe in his hand, preparing to fight.

"Leave it to me, let me test my power!"

Before Fang Che could speak, Su Qingxue raised her right hand.

S-Rank Talent: Heart of Frost, activated at full power for the first time!

With a wave of her hand, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted!

The moisture visible in the air instantly froze.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A massive ice wall rose from the ground, over five meters wide and nearly half a meter thick, standing directly across the center of the corridor!

The dozen or so faceless students in the front didn't even react in time, slamming headfirst into the ice wall.

The extreme cold instantly froze them into ice sculptures, maintaining their forward-charging posture, looking incredibly lifelike.

There was no ripple in Su Qingxue's ice-blue eyes as she gently clenched her fair fingers.

"Explode!"

Boom!

The massive ice wall exploded with a roar!

Countless sharp shards of ice, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, rained down upon the cluster of monsters behind.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The sound of blades piercing flesh merged into one.

The faceless students that followed were instantly pierced by countless ice shards, falling in droves and dissipating into black smoke.

[Ding! Team member Su Qingxue killed Ordinary Wraith Students ×36!]

[Obtained Experience Points: 360 points.]

[Ding! SSS-Rank Talent: Absolute Critical Hit triggered successfully!]

[Determined Action: Team Experience Acquisition!]

[Critical Hit Multiplier: 6x!]

[Final Experience Points obtained: 2160 points!]

In the corridor, before the black smoke had completely dissipated, items stained with ash clattered to the ground, standing out clearly against the frost-covered floor.

A series of system notifications exploded in Fang Che's mind.

Fang Che raised an eyebrow slightly.

Good heavens. With this clearing, Su Qingxue gave me over two thousand experience points from a Critical Hit? On the surface, he remained as steady as an old dog, but inside, he was already blooming with joy.

This is what you call a real mage turret; it's just too awesome!

This is just too strong! It's absolutely amazing!

Mu Waner screamed frantically in her heart, her eyes turning red with envy.

This return rate is simply heaven-defying; she went from a pure support to a powerful mage in one night? This is a guaranteed profitable deal!

Fang Che stepped forward to pick up the items.

[Ding! SSS-Rank Talent: Absolute Critical Hit triggered successfully!]

[Determined Action: Monster Drop!]

[Critical Hit Multiplier: 6x!]

[Dropped Items: Student ID Tag ×36, Damaged School Uniform Button ×144, Blood-stained Class Notes ×1.]

After clearing the monsters, the group had no more obstacles and soon arrived at the entrance of the Infirmary.

The Infirmary door was locked tight, with a sign hanging on it that read: "Non-school staff and students prohibited from entering."

Fang Che took out the doctor's ID card for the Infirmary and stuck it directly onto the door.

The door lock made a soft click and automatically popped open.

Pushing the door open, a thick smell of disinfectant rushed to meet them.

The interior of the Infirmary was large, with rows of shelves stacked with various medical supplies.

Gauze, bandages, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs... everything was available.

"We've struck it rich!" Mu Waner's eyes were glowing green.

With these supplies, the team's survival guarantees had taken a huge step up.

Everyone excitedly prepared to go forward and scavenge for supplies.

Fang Che, however, reached out to stop them.

His gaze landed in front of the medicine cabinet at the very back of the Infirmary.

Standing there were two figures.

They were two nurses.

They were wearing identical white nurse uniforms, sporting identical ear-length short hair, and were completely identical in height, build, and appearance.

What was most eerie was that they wore identical smiles on their faces, standard to the point of being exact.

Sensing the arrival of the group, the two identical nurses slowly turned around, staring fixedly at Fang Che and the others at the door.

Their movements were uniform, and even the angle at which they turned their heads was exactly the same.

The two spoke in unison, their voices overlapping, exuding an indescribable sense of creepiness.

"Student, where are you feeling uncomfortable?"
