Lin Xu frowned and glanced at Wang Lei, feeling that paying attention to this guy was a waste of time.
He simply nodded slightly to Teacher Li, and then put on the black helmet next to him.
This is an instrument used to measure his mineral talent.
He needed to figure out what that strange feeling in his head was. He was certain that his talent was definitely not weak, but he didn't know in which area he was good at.
Teacher Li frowned slightly at Lin Xu's attitude.
He was different from other teachers and deans of students. He voluntarily "condescended" to become a teacher of ordinary people in order to study their lives.
So although he usually considers himself approachable and down-to-earth, he still harbors a hint of arrogance deep down.
Lin Xu was just an ordinary person after all, but now he has become the island owner, no longer just a student.
When faced with powerful clans, every commoner island lord should naturally bow down and be subservient. Those who have not made outstanding contributions have no right to treat powerful clans as equals.
But Lin Xu clearly didn't follow these rules, and Teacher Li couldn't help but feel offended.
Teacher Li thought to herself:
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to remind this student. Lin Xu is quite capable, and he's not some clueless fool. Making him pay attention to the etiquette commoners show to the powerful will also help his future."
With that in mind, Teacher Li watched as Lin Xu continued testing his talent for mining.
Meanwhile, Wang Lei and the other island lords looked at Lin Xu with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.
They hoped Lin Xu's mineral vein talent data was terrible so they could continue to mock him, utterly despise this former top student, and say that they and Lin Xu were from two different worlds.
But they were also a little worried that Lin Xu's second talent was too good.
In this way, they not only won't embarrass Lin Xu, but they might even have to try to please him.
After all, this top student's abilities are definitely not weak. If he also has advanced island lord talents, then his future will be quite extraordinary. Even if these people don't like it, they still have to try to get close to him.
At that moment, as everyone looked at the testing equipment with complicated expressions, the test results came out.
[Ore vein talent detection complete.]
Overall Quality: 0
[Potential: 0]
Areas of expertise: None
[Recommendation: Even if you've consumed a miraculous item, it's still advisable to eat more, otherwise you're destined to waste time on the journey through the mines...]
The first shop assistant next to them looked extremely shocked.
Lin Xu's face darkened as well.
Although the spirit plant's talent was poor, it still had at least 1 point of potential left.
How come his talent is 0 when he comes to the mine?
Does this mean that if he used mineral vein seeds, the seeds would still fail to survive and the planting would fail?
Lin Xu felt that this situation was unlikely to occur, but if he wanted to develop the island's potential and allow it to develop through mineral vein transformation, he needed to avoid taking matters into his own hands, otherwise it might cause some unnecessary losses.
As for the others, they stared wide-eyed at their talent numbers, speechless for a moment.
This number 0 is truly an excellent evaluation!
Combined with the previous talent test on spiritual plants, this is truly unprecedented!
Historically, aside from ordinary people who are unable to awaken their island's potential, no island lord has ever had such poor talent.
For a moment, some people began to doubt whether Lin Xu was actually from this world, otherwise how could he have such poor data?
"Pfft... Hahaha!"
"0! It's actually 0!"
While Lin Xu, the shop assistant, and Teacher Li were experiencing mixed feelings, Wang Lei and the other island owners couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I thought Lin was a genius! Even a pig could get 10 or 20 points by testing the island's talents, but Lin is extraordinary. He actually got a 1 and a 0. This is simply a record-breaking achievement!"
"Hahaha, that's right. Don't say that people in the past couldn't achieve this kind of points, and maybe no one in the future will be able to do it either."
"Young Master Lin, I advise you not to test the third talent. The book says that the island lord's talent data is mostly evenly distributed, with only one sub-item occasionally standing out. Your first two talents are at most 1 point, so the third one can't possibly exceed 10 points. Testing it would be a waste of time!"
"That's right! I think with Lin's unprecedented talent, the third test will most likely be a score of 0 or 1. If the three talents combined don't exceed 2, that would truly be a record-breaking achievement!"
Wang Lei and the others mocked him without hesitation, their contempt written all over their faces.
Some of the new island owners sneered.
Some just burst into wild laughter.
Wang Lei pointed at Lin Xu's nose and sneered maliciously, as if Lin Xu were his enemy, and now he had finally gotten his revenge.
"Hmph, when I first heard that Lin Xu had awakened an island 100 meters long and wide, I thought I misheard. Now it seems that a small fry destined for greatness is destined to never amount to anything, no matter how well he does simple tasks!"
"Exactly! A good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing. Even if he's good at studying, handsome, has good character, and a good reputation, so what? With that kind of talent and island data, and having rejected recruitment from big companies, he'll definitely just be an ordinary person in the future, destined to be trampled underfoot!"
"Heh, the number one talent, what a tragic end!"
At this moment, the shop assistant who had been there initially also understood Lin Xu's situation.
He suddenly realized that Lin Xu was not some powerful figure with a deep background; otherwise, these students, who looked like ordinary island lords, would never have dared to mock him like that.
However, the shop assistant had always felt that Lin Xu was quite courteous; despite being the island owner, he didn't act condescendingly towards an ordinary person like him. At this moment, she couldn't help but speak up, wanting to save face for Lin Xu:
"Student, are you not feeling well today? How about we stop the test today and do the last item another day?"
As soon as these words were spoken, before Lin Xu could reply, Wang Lei and the others' faces darkened:
"Who do you think you are? Just an ordinary shop assistant, how dare you interfere in the affairs of the great scholar Lin?"
"That's right, a mere shop clerk. Be careful, or I might buy your contract from your shop owner and make you a mining slave for me!"
The shop assistant's expression changed slightly, but he didn't seem afraid.
After all, those who can open shops in downtown areas, even if they are not high-end shops, have a background that is far superior to that of ordinary island owners.
But the shop assistants could no longer speak up for Lin Xu.
Because that would be deliberately offending the customer, the shop owner would punish him even if he didn't sell the contract.
At this moment, Teacher Li also spoke up:
"Lin Xu, what Wang Lei and the others said was harsh, but it wasn't entirely unreasonable. The three talents of an island lord are indeed interconnected. If the first two are not good, it's almost impossible to make a comeback in the third. I think your talents are not suitable for being an island lord. Why don't you go to my family's company and become a manager?"
