Yecheng University.
"Linnai, we need to have a serious talk."
The young female counselor called Linna to her office alone, her expression icy.
“…” Lin Nai stood in front of her, looking helpless.
He looks like the kind of problem student that every school and every class has—a student who doesn't study hard, is at the bottom of the class, and spends all his time in bars and playing games.
He knew he was going to get a lecture from the counselor again.
Counselor Yang Xin took out a file from her desk drawer: "This is the list of our class's achievements in successfully awakening their career sequence last month."
"Of the 35 students in the class, 13 had already completed their formal Sequence Awakening before entering university, and the remaining 21 all completed their job transitions last month."
"Squad leader Liang Wei even reached level 1.9 last month, just one step away from becoming a level 2 superhuman."
"As a rare lightning mage, his ability sequence is 179, which is within the top 200. With his talent and hard work, he will surely have a bright future."
"You're the only one who hasn't made any progress yet, and your soul power level is still stuck at level 0.5 when you first enrolled."
"Tell me what you've been doing all day? You don't even put in the effort in your cultivation, your classmates are very hostile towards you, you're always disrupting class unity, and you always act so carefree and irresponsible. Don't you ever think about reflecting on your behavior?"
"..." Lin Nai touched his nose, pretending to be nonchalant, and remained silent.
It's not that he's not hardworking.
He secretly worked hard every day when he got home without letting anyone know.
But it's truly shameful to try and still make no progress...
In this world of advanced martial arts, talent determines everything.
Those who cannot awaken their sequence abilities are destined to be inferior to others.
Linnaeus's talent is the lowest level in this world, E-grade.
Even ordinary superhumans with poor aptitude generally have D-level talent, while E-level talent is rare among students with poor aptitude.
In this world, it's almost equivalent to being born disabled or having a congenital defect.
When Lin Nai took the physical exam upon entering university, the school doctor frowned upon seeing his medical report, bluntly stating that Lin Nai might not be able to break through the 1.0 level of soul power until graduation.
Even if he manages to barely break through level 1 and meet the standards for job advancement and awakening, the job sequence he can ultimately awaken will definitely be outside the top 1000, most likely a useless job...
His classmates also treated him as an oddball, and were very dissatisfied and repulsed by this burden on the class.
The reason is quite simple.
The awakened college students mostly operate in groups, usually within their classes.
Whenever the school assigns a task, the whole class must work together to complete it; only by cooperating can they have a chance to survive after entering the instance.
Linnai was of no help whatsoever, yet he still had to split their mission rewards.
Of course, this will cause rejection from classmates.
"The school has already made a decision regarding your situation."
Looking at Lin Nai's expression, Yang Xin snorted and continued, "The vice principal believes that continuing to train you is a waste of resources, so your share of the cultivation resource subsidies that the school distributes to the class will be temporarily suspended."
"The school hopes that you can use this time to catch up with the other students."
"At the same time, I also hope you will do some self-reflection and find your own problems! Even if you don't have talent in cultivation, you can always build good relationships with your classmates, right? Look around, which classmate is willing to take you on a mission these days?"
Lin Nai didn't refute anything throughout, nor did she want to argue with the counselor. In the end, she simply said, "I understand," and then turned and left the office.
...
After school, Lin Nai left the school listlessly with her hands in her pockets and went to eat at a small shop on the street.
He wasn't actually from this world, but a transmigrator who had been here for eighteen years.
This is a world of high martial arts. Three hundred years ago, many places in this world had interdimensional portals that caused a revival of spiritual energy, and people gained the ability to cultivate martial arts, superpowers, magic, ghost control and other extraordinary powers.
At the same time, after the appearance of the interdimensional portal, many ferocious and terrifying monsters and beasts often invaded the human world through that portal.
Humanity began to systematically cultivate extraordinary individuals, with technology and extraordinary abilities developing side by side, as they fought against these monsters from another world.
People can also use portals in various locations to explore different worlds and obtain abundant resources.
Lin Nai remembered that in her previous life, many novels fantasized about the revival of spiritual energy, entering a world of high martial arts, and acquiring various superpowers to become a strong person.
But after experiencing it, you realize that such a world is not fun at all, but rather extremely cruel.
Not only are they constantly at risk of invasion by terrifying monsters, but social order is also almost completely pathological.
The strong can set all the rules and look down on everyone.
People are divided into different classes, and the lowest class may live a life worse than a dog.
Human civilization has indeed reached unprecedented heights.
However, the competitive pressure has also reached an unprecedented level.
Linna went to a roadside shop and ate a plate of fried noodles by herself.
The fast food restaurant was crowded, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry.
Life in Yecheng moves at a fast pace; most people eat dinner quickly and then rush off to start a new job.
Office workers and students are the same.
The only one who seemed idle and unhurried was probably Linnaeus.
Lin Nai recalled her university life in her previous life. At night, the night market near the university would still be very lively, bustling with people, eating skewers, drinking, and eating at food stalls. Many people would put their arms around each other, laugh heartily, and talk about interesting things happening around them.
