As time ticked by, half of the new students in the class had already introduced themselves.
The templates used for introductions are all very similar, focusing on showcasing one's hobbies and strengths to see if they can attract the attention of the opposite sex.
However, one point is worth noting.
During the self-introductions, apart from the occasional mention of their college entrance examination scores, no one revealed their biology grade from beginning to end.
And all information related to strength.
He Xie was initially puzzled by this situation.
But he soon figured it out.
University is not high school.
Entering university is equivalent to entering society.
Personal abilities have become an extremely private matter.
Aside from necessary paperwork, this information is generally not disclosed to others.
Even the information in the files might be filled in randomly.
Concealing one's strength and hiding one's trump cards has become a consensus among everyone.
However, none of these challenges could faze He Xie.
He felt it was necessary to understand the abilities of each classmate.
After all, this is an all-around class, where the most talented people in the entire school are gathered.
So, he reluctantly used up more than thirty Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy cards to spy on everyone present.
In just two short minutes, he was able to have a clear understanding of the abilities of everyone present.
Among them, the highest biological level belongs to Zhang Weidong, the substitute senior brother, who is only one step away from evolving into a rare-level creature.
Next up was Luo Yu, the substitute senior sister standing next to Zhang Weidong, whose biological level was as high as the seventh rank of mutation.
As for the freshmen below the stage, apart from He Xie himself, none of them had reached the mutation level in terms of biological level.
The highest level was a boy named Chu Bei, whose biological level was as high as advanced level nine.
Further down are Qian Duole, Chen Qiaoyi, Zhang Feiyang, and others, whose biological level is as high as the eighth rank of advanced level.
The ones below that are mostly high-level fifth tier.
The lowest grader in the class was an old acquaintance of He Xie's, and also his only old acquaintance in the class—An Ruoli.
An Ruoli's biological level is currently only Advanced Tier 3, which is the lowest in the class.
The reason she was able to get into the all-around class was because her mental strength was too high, far exceeding that of her peers.
Mental strength is the most difficult attribute to improve, so she was admitted despite not meeting the usual requirements.
After observing for a while, He Xie felt something was off.
This looks like the University of Mountain and Sea Evolution, doesn't it?
How come there are only two locals from Shanhaiguan in the entire all-around class?
I'm numb!
No wonder people say that Shanhai City has the worst science education in the world.
This time it truly lives up to its name.
At this point, it was An Ruoli's turn to go on stage and introduce herself.
Apart from He Xie, everyone's eyes were on her and they didn't want to look away.
An Ruoli is so beautiful she looks like an ethereal fairy.
Both her appearance and her demeanor give the impression of a high and mighty fairy.
Like a flower growing on a cliff, it can be admired from afar but not touched.
"She's so beautiful, I really wish she could step on my head with her foot, wearing stockings."
"Fuck you! Can you please stop being so perverted?"
"I think the reason I've remained single since birth is so that I can save all my first times for her."
"I'm determined to pursue this girl!"
"What's so great about girls? Can they beat my potato chips and sugary drinks? Can they beat my anime waifu?"
"......"
When An Ruoli stood on the podium, facing the crowd below, almost all the boys got excited.
His face was full of excitement, just like a wild monkey courting in the mountains.
An Ruoli ignored the boys in the audience whose eyes were shining, and instead glanced at He Xie casually.
When she saw him looking down at his phone, not paying attention to her on stage, a fleeting look of disappointment flashed across her face, and she felt a pang of sadness.
"Student, you can introduce yourself now."
Seeing that An Ruoli had been up there for so long without saying a word, Luo Yu smiled and reminded her, but in her heart she was already cursing, "Heh, she's such a good actress."
An Ruoli withdrew her gaze from He Xie and introduced herself in a cool voice.
"Hello everyone, my name is An Ruoli, I come from Shanhai City, I love appreciating flowers, I like silence, and my ideal type of boy is He Xie, thank you."
After giving that brief speech, she left the podium and returned to her seat.
The audience was completely bewildered. So fast?
It's indeed very cold and indifferent.
Among them, the boys all looked puzzled. What was Xie's ideal type of boy?
What is He Xie?
What are the popular personas these days?
How come I've never heard of it?
The boys were completely baffled.
It wasn't until the self-introductions were almost over and it was He Xie's turn to go on stage that everyone suddenly realized what had happened.
"Hello everyone, my name is He Xie, and I come from Shanhai City. Apart from being a bit good-looking, I'm pretty useless, especially when it comes to ability. In short, I'm terrible. I hope you won't look down on me for dragging the class down in the future. Thank you."
He Xie said with a smile.
Zhang Weidong, standing to the side, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth. Surviving multiple attacks from the Divine Plant Cult—and they call that weak? You little brat! Are you playing dumb to fool me?!
Luo Yu, standing to the side, stared at He Xie with shining eyes, and couldn't help but swallow. This junior brother's looks and physique were so unfair that she was drooling.
The same thing happened to the girls in the audience; they all looked at He Xie with such longing that their mouths were watering, and they could hardly stop drooling.
The boys in the audience looked at He Xie with strange expressions, then at An Ruoli, thinking that the He Xie that the ice queen was talking about was not a persona, but specifically referred to this handsome guy.
So, she's already taken?
What a pity.
Among them, several boys who weren't particularly good-looking looked utterly disgusted. Sure enough, women are all obsessed with looks!
The self-introduction session ended quickly.
Zhang Weidong, who was filling in as a substitute teacher, began to play the role of a class teacher and chatted with the freshmen below the stage.
He looked at the crowd below the stage and smiled, "Everyone here is a prodigy from their respective regions. You could have applied to any university in Kyushu. Why did you ultimately choose Shandong University?"
The answers varied. Some said they didn't want to be too far from home, some said the exotic flower and fruit market in Shanhai City was well-developed, and some bluntly said they were recruited by the school leaders.
Hearing everyone's answers, Zhang Weidong smiled and nodded, then looked at He Xie and asked with a smile, "Junior Brother He, what about you?"
All this was just his way of trying to strike up a conversation with He Xie and subtly guide the conversation to see if he could get any information out of him.
"What?" He Xie asked, somewhat puzzled.
He had been looking at his phone the whole time and hadn't noticed what Zhang Weidong was asking.
Zhang Weidong was very concerned and couldn't understand why He Xie kept looking at his phone.
He was thinking, wondering who He Xie was contacting? What was He Xie's true identity, coming from an orphanage?
He couldn't figure it out, so he tried to get information out of him. He looked at He Xie with a smile and said, "No, I'm just curious why Junior Brother He, who is so strong, didn't go to Peking University or Magic University, but instead enrolled in Shandong University."
"Senior Brother Zhang is overthinking it. How am I strong? I'm practically the weakest in the whole class, okay?"
He Xie waved his hand sheepishly and smiled.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart, "Damn substitute, don't just give me a strong persona. How am I supposed to create a sense of contrast and earn contrast points if this happens?"
Zhang Weidong had no idea what He Xie was thinking. He thought He Xie was trying to use humility to get others to say a few polite words to highlight how awesome he was.
Then he said with a smile, "Junior Brother He, you are too modest. I am the safety officer for the practical assessment of the college entrance examination in the Evolution Science Department of Shanhai City this year. I have personally witnessed your strength, and it is simply amazing."
"oh--"
Everyone in the classroom was somewhat surprised.
When He Xie introduced himself, he said that he was very weak, and they all believed him.
After all, the science education in Shanhai City has always been terrible, and the college entrance examination results are not publicly released, so everyone thinks He Xie is really weak.
But now that I've heard what the substitute senior said, it seems that this local student from Shanhai City is quite amazing.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
[The contrast values from the new students are: +9286 +8593 +7965 +8998 +9744...]
Damn it!
Seeing the contrast values popping up one after another in the depths of his mind, He Xie's face darkened. He even wanted to rush up and punch Zhang Weidong a couple of times, making him howl in pain, just for talking so much!
Now that Zhang Weidong has done this, he'll have fewer opportunities to earn the difference in value in the future.
It's a classic case of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Seeing that He Xie's face had darkened, Zhang Weidong was a little confused.
However, he soon realized that He Xie probably preferred to keep a low profile, and that his display of strength might have offended him.
Realizing this, he immediately took remedial measures to skip the topic, and looked at He Xie with a smile again, asking for the third time, "By the way, Junior Brother He, why did you apply to Shandong University?"
Is that even a question? Of course it's close to home!
He Xie thought to himself, and was about to reply when a long-forgotten doorbell suddenly rang in the depths of his mind.
[Ding-dong!]
[Task: Cultivate a persona of being straightforward and honest.]
You are an extremely straightforward person; simple-minded is your defining characteristic. You think very directly and speak bluntly, often leaving people speechless and embarrassed.
[Reward: One large pineapple from the desert.]
What kind of underworld character is this?
He Xie's lips twitched; he was speechless at the system's antics.
