Chapter 26
At the same time, the city H in "Nightmare World" was still burning in flames.
In the real world, countless people lying in bed and browsing their phones received the same push notification.
They clicked on the push notification in confusion and were surprised to find that it was actually a promotional PV for a holographic horror game. The black and red color scheme on the cover was scary, but it had an inexplicable appeal. They thought vaguely, since they were free anyway, they might as well click on it and take a look.
The video started playing, and the first thing that sounded was a soothing and delicate piano piece. The completely black screen suddenly lit up, and several scenes of energetic college students, a clean and tidy campus, and a harmonious classroom atmosphere flashed by quickly. Before people had time to react, suddenly, a "dong" sound of bass hit the audience's heart heavily. The soothing and bright melody took a sudden turn and suddenly became weird. At the same time, blood splattered on the screen, and male and female students fell to the ground one after another. A sad and melodious violin piece was inserted in it. The bloody scene was processed and became particularly tragic.
A heavy and old voice-over interrupted at this moment.
"I am powerless to protect my teachers, and I am powerless to protect my students."
"The only thing I can do is to die as a token of my guilt."
The camera suddenly glided down from a bird's-eye view, passed through the administrative building and went straight up. The huge white archway opened with a bang, and a bronze bell stood silently above the spiral staircase.
"But I did something wrong." The voice said painfully.
"I made a deal with the evil god."
Another heavy note fell, and the screen suddenly went black. The sound of drums fell one after another, like the sound of approaching footsteps. The picture lit up for a moment, and then suddenly went dark. In less than a second, it was enough for the audience to see several corpses with their backs to the audience.
"I know that nothing can be undone."
The scenes of countless players fighting bloody battles with monsters appear one after another, accompanied by tense and dense drum beats, which makes people's blood boil.
But soon, the flames engulfed the player's figure. Amidst the crazy and strange piano music, a silver ring flashing with cold light paused in the air for a moment and fell into the sea of fire.
"A new nightmare has arrived. Will you be the one to escape it?"
The flame burned out ashes, turning into a black and red fragment. The scene switched, and the fragment was embedded in the black curtain. Sparks spread, and the curtain began to burn.
Six strange characters appeared in blood from the ashes.
The day the nightmare came.
It took the audience a long time to recover from the shock after watching the film.
It's a bit scary, but it seems really exciting and fun?
I clicked on the game description and saw it was a holographic horror game that was about to be released in public beta. What? Pre-order the game and get a free gaming helmet? What kind of gaming company is this? Are they so arrogant?
Isn’t a free holographic helmet great? Now, even people who are not interested in horror games have signed up for the game just to get the holographic helmet for free.
Those who are looking for excitement are attracted by the game experience that is "infinitely close to reality" advertised by the game, and are happily planning to go in and experience it themselves.
The number of people who pre-ordered the game skyrocketed exponentially. After reading the game announcement, people found out that the public beta version of "Nightmare World" would be officially launched in a week.
Damn it, why does it take another week?
The reserve players were all a little impatient, but they didn't know that because of this game, the Heresy Monitoring Bureau was in chaos.
"Admin 01, was the promotional PV interception successful?"
"Failure, failure again! This is a direct message from Nightmare World. The driving force behind it is Nightmare World itself. I can't intercept it!"
"It's over! Only ten minutes have passed, and over a million people have already reserved spots for the public beta!"
At this time, someone walked in, grabbed one of the people who was anxiously working in front of the computer, pulled him aside, and took the seat in front of the computer himself.
In this Heretic Monitoring Bureau, there is no one else with black and white hair except Feng Jihan.
Feng Jihan opened the promotional PV, scrolled to the end, and skillfully took a screenshot of the black and red fragments at the end, restored the image quality, and enlarged it.
The others all gathered together, frowning as they stared at the irregularly shaped black and red fragment: "What is this?"
Feng Jihan tapped the computer screen: "This should be the key mentioned in the prophecy."
"I've seen the blood-red lines on it somewhere before."
Administrator 01 spun his chair around and faced Feng Jihan: "Sir, what do you think this key will do?"
"Honestly, I don't know." Feng Jihan magnified the fragment again and pondered, "But since it's a fragment, it means there must be other fragments. If they are all put together, maybe we can summon the Great Evil God who destroys heaven and earth?"
"The rest of the people were frightened by the jokes he told.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Sir, besides this, I think there is something else that is very strange!"
Feng Jihan retracted his thoughts: "What is it?"
The man pulled the progress bar back and froze the image on the falling silver ring. His eyes were determined and his tone was firm: "This! It must be some kind of prop too!"
Feng Jihan glanced at the screen and saw that the defense was broken in just a moment.
What the hell are the props!
That's his wife's wedding ring!
The others didn't notice Feng Jihan's collapse the moment he saw the ring. Some of them didn't understand Feng Jihan's expression and even brought up something irrelevant: "By the way, Commander, how did you fail in this mission?"
Feng Jihan's face darkened: "Dead."
"No way, is the principal really that powerful? Even your clone at 30% of its power can't defeat him?"
Feng Jihan took a deep breath: "It was my mistake."
During the internal testing phase, "Nightmare World" only allowed ordinary people to enter and was extremely exclusive to those with high-level psychics. The Heretic Bureau also mobilized several people with special psychics to complete a trick of replacing the status quo, successfully allowing Feng Jihan to obtain the identity of a certain player and reluctantly send his clone in.
But it is just a very small clone. Apart from the passive skills, it has no other abilities, and it cannot withstand too much power from the original body.
While Cen Xun was killing people in the dream world, Feng Jihan was not idle either. He used Zhang San's body to draw runes in H. After Zhang San went offline, he went online from the clone at home. After all, the clone at home was stronger and more durable.
With the rune array, the big clone can sneak into H University and obtain 30% of the power of the original body.
Feng Jihan originally wanted to use his big clone to deal with the principal directly and prevent the official public beta of "Nightmare World", but he had planned everything but never expected that Cen Xun would get him out early.
Feng Jihan felt very depressed, and his mood became even heavier when he thought of Cen Xun, whose life or death was unknown in the nightmare world.
"What about those ten thousand players?" Feng Jihan tried to distract attention: "Are they back?"
The others looked at each other, pursed their lips and said, "Not yet."
They tracked the players and found that they were all in a sleeping state. Their vital signs were still there, but they had not woken up.
So where did the consciousness of these players go?
Only Cen Xun knows the answer.
In the dimly lit principal's office, Cen Xun sat elegantly behind his desk with his legs crossed. He lowered his eyes to glance at the players on the ground, and smiled at them in the face of their surprised and frightened gazes.
"We meet again."
There were only six people gathered in the principal's office at this time.
They are: the five core members of the rich young gang and Rong Tianchang who was once controlled by Cen Xun.
Shen Wenshao, one of the group, was the first to speak up, asking sternly, "What do you want to do by bringing us here?"
Seeing Cen Xun smiling faintly and saying nothing, Shen Wenshao became even more excited. In his impression, Cen Xun was a saint with a good temper, a good old man who would never fight back no matter how he was scolded. And what Shen Wenshao was best at was bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"How dare you not answer me? Are you deaf?"
Rong Tianchang, who had experienced Cen Xun's terrifying side, knelt on the ground with his head lowered. He was terrified to hear such bold and reckless remarks.
How many fathers does this young master have? How dare he speak to Cen Xun like that?
He is dead!
The other rich young men knew how to read the expressions and when they realized something was not right, they wisely chose to keep silent.
So Shen Wenshao was the only one left cursing in the room.
As he cursed, Shen Wenshao finally noticed the silence around him and stopped talking suspiciously.
"Pah pah pah."
There was applause from behind the desk. Cen Xun smiled and said, "Not bad, very lively. Seeing you so energetic, the teacher is in a good mood too."
Shen Wenshao's face was ugly: "Don't pretend"
"I heard that you like to have others lick your shoes?" Cen Xun interrupted him, and leaned forward slightly as if he was very curious: "I have never seen it before. Can you please lick someone else's shoes for me once, Master Shen?"
Shen Wenshao's expression froze, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying. He asked in disbelief, "W-what?"
"Just you," Cen Xun snapped his fingers, his eyes darting around the room before finally choosing Rong Tianchang: "Lick his shoes clean."
Shen Wenshao and Rong Tianchang were both stunned.
Rong Tianchang raised his head and looked at Cen Xun in great surprise.
Cen Xun nodded at him: "Student Rong, please stand up."
Rong Tianchang stood up uncontrollably. On the other side, Shen Wenshao cursed: "Are you crazy? I'm the third young master of the Shen family. Do you know what will happen if you offend me?"
He just cursed and suddenly fell silent in horror, because he suddenly found that he could not control his body!
He walked straight towards Rong Tianchang, knelt down without hesitation, and lowered his head.
"No, no!" Shen Wenshao screamed in fear, but his head kept going down, down.
Rong Tianchang stared at Cen Xun blankly, somewhat at a loss: "Teacher Cen, no, Principal Cen, what are you doing..."
Cen Xun clasped his hands together and looked at him with a smile. "I've seen from your memory, Rong, that you are actually an excellent technical talent, but your boss tramples on your dignity and ignores your efforts."
Cen Xun sighed and said with sympathy, "How blind you are, Rong. You deserve a better future."
Rong Tianchang felt his heart beating violently, and said with difficulty: "Principal, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"I mean, do you want to come work for me?" Cen Xun said calmly, "You're an excellent programmer. Nightmare University needs people like you."
Rong Tianchang asked awkwardly, "But I'm not in the game. What can I do for you?"
Cen Xun calmly dropped a bombshell: "I plan to set up a company of my own outside of gaming."
"What!" Rong Tianchang was shocked, and the other four rich young men also looked shocked.
An NPC in the game actually thought of setting up a company outside the game!?
Are they crazy or is this game crazy!!
Cen Xun seemed oblivious to their worldview's collapse and asked him with a smile, "How about it, do you accept it?"
Rong Tianchang barely recovered from his shock and asked haltingly, "But what kind of company do you want to set up?"
"Cultural media company." Cen Xun said calmly, "In the future, I want to make Nightmare University the biggest IP in Nightmare World. I want all players to know Nightmare University first, and then know Nightmare World."
What an arrogant tone! Rong Tianchang should have thought that the principal was dreaming, but inexplicably, he was almost bewitched and felt that this thing might really succeed!
"I can give you power, status, and wealth." Cen Xun glanced at Shen Wenshao, who was licking his shoes and crying, and smiled. "I can also make those who once looked down on you regret offending you for the rest of their lives."
Rong Tianchang's chest heaved violently. He looked at Shen Wenshao who was kneeling beside him and knew that what Cen Xun said was true!
"I, I am willing!" Rong Tianchang bowed sharply to Cen Xun and said excitedly, "Principal Cen, I am willing to serve you!"
"very good."
An admission letter suddenly appeared in front of Rong Tianchang. Cen Xun smiled and said, "Since you are proficient in computers, you should enroll in the Computer College. The major is suitable for you, and the supernatural power you will obtain will most likely enhance your computer skills."
Rong Tianchang took the admission letter and looked up in surprise: "I... I can get superpowers!?"
Hearing the word "superpower", the remaining four rich young men immediately pricked up their ears.
Cen Xun was casually playing with a pen, seemingly oblivious to the bombshell he had just dropped. "Yes, superpowers. After joining the academy, students will automatically awaken superpowers related to their majors."
Rong Tianchang couldn't hold it in any longer and asked impatiently while holding the notice: "Can I go and apply for admission right now?"
The wealthy young men could no longer remain silent. They stepped forward and asked in a polite and humble tone, "Principal Cen, may we enroll you?"
Cen Xun looked at them calmly: "Student Rong can bring me technology, what about you? What can you bring to me?"
The young masters were silent for a while. At this time, Qin Shiyuan stepped forward and said calmly: "Principal Cen, starting a company requires start-up capital. I can provide the start-up capital."
When he said this, the other young masters immediately realized that they were right! They didn't have anything else, but they had money and power!
So they immediately rushed forward and started promoting themselves.
"I own an office building in a great location. I can give it to Principal Cen to start a company!"
"I have 20 million in pocket money, which can also be used as the company's start-up capital!"
"I know a lot of people and have connections!"
Cen Xun listened to the numerous benefits, but he wasn't as kind to them as he was to Rong Tianchang. His expression was cold, seemingly unmoved. He relaxed against the wide back of his chair, indifferently scanning the four faces with varying expressions. He raised the corner of his lips meaningfully, "It's indeed a good advantage. Unfortunately, in my opinion, your background and social connections are far less clean than Rong Tianchang's. I don't want my company to be targeted by the family behind you right after it was established."
The young masters never expected that Cen Xun would reject the conditions they proposed, and they were all stunned.
Actually refused?
With neither money nor connections, could this programmer he hired actually create a company out of thin air?
After a brief moment of shock, Qin Shiyuan stepped forward and said earnestly, "Principal Cen, please reconsider. With our help, you will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when starting your company."
Yu Yimo's thoughts shifted, and he followed suit, "Principal Cen, to be honest, I don't have any special abilities, so I'm practically invisible in the family. Besides money, I don't have much else, so no one would keep an eye on me. If you're worried about being targeted, I can operate in secret to ensure that no one can detect any unusual fund flows in my account."
The remaining rich young men also racked their brains to try to persuade Cen Xun.
In their past lives, they rarely encountered situations where they had to negotiate in person. Therefore, these young masters did not understand that they needed to take the initiative in negotiations. Cen Xun could easily lead them by the nose by simply throwing out the bait.
When they tried their best to beg Cen Xun to give them superpowers, it meant that they had completely lost the qualifications to sit at the negotiation table and were destined to be badly cheated by Cen Xun.
Rong Tianchang stood by without saying a word. As a social animal who had been in the workplace for many years, how could he not understand what Cen Xun was playing? Seeing the young masters who used to be high and mighty were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads, and were frantically promoting themselves in order to get a place in the school, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
You idiot with lots of money, just wait to be used as an ATM.
Sure enough, after the young masters had finished arguing for a while, Cen Xun finally spoke slowly, "That sounds good, but what can we do? The number of places for the first semester is limited. At most, I can only admit one more student from among you. The rest will only be given temporary status."
The young masters looked at each other in confusion: "What does temporary student status mean?"
Cen Xun said slowly, "Temporary student status has a time limit. After a certain period of time, the temporary student status will expire. If the student does not become a regular student before the temporary student status expires, then the student will lose his or her status as a student at Nightmare University."
"Of course, the supernatural powers he obtained at Nightmare University will also be taken back."
Cen Xun glanced at the shocked young man and smiled faintly, "How about this? Each of the four of you give me a self-recommendation letter, stating your respective strengths. I will pick the most suitable candidate based on the content of the self-recommendation letter and give him the only official student status."
Rich kids: "What? Isn't it enough to just pay the money? Why do I have to write a letter of recommendation? Why do I have to compete for admission?"
Rong Tianchang: Poof
This capitalist has a happy face!
Cen Xun had already ordered everyone to leave: "Alright, start writing now. I want to see your self-recommendation letters before noon tomorrow."
"Student Rong, go and apply for admission first."
Rong Tianchang said "Oh" happily and went out with great enthusiasm. The four young masters also left in a hurry with anxious faces. They occasionally looked at each other, and the hostility in their eyes could not be concealed.
The only one left was Shen Wenshao kneeling on the ground.
Shen Wenshao's body was shaking, because of humiliation and fear.
A shadow enveloped him, and the devil uttered a terrifying voice: "Do you know why I left you alone?"
"No, I don't know." The arrogant young master finally felt fear, his shoulders hunched together, not daring to look up: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words just now."
"I know I've apologized. It seems the teacher's teaching method is very effective." Cen Xun circled around him and said arrogantly, "Now, beg me, beg me to forgive you."
Shen Wenshao could barely contain his trembling voice: "Please, please forgive me."
Cen Xun nonchalantly played with the puppet strings at his fingertips and chuckled, "Unfortunately, I don't accept it."
The puppet thread broke through the wind and pierced Shen Wenshao's solar plexus. Shen Wenshao screamed violently and fell to the ground, rolling around in a mess.
Cen Xun was delighted to admire the young master's ugly appearance, and his fingers moved slightly: "Let me see what kind of medicine your Shen family sells."
Cen Xun saved Shen Wenshao from the old principal purely because he was attracted by the medical industry controlled by the Shen family.
The anesthetic in Feng Jihan's hand is a huge threat to Cen Xun, so Cen Xun must find out the source of the drug.
And it just so happened that Zhang San appeared as Shen Wenshao's bodyguard, and the Shen family behind Shen Wenshao happened to run the pharmaceutical industry.
With this connection, it was hard for Cen Xun not to suspect that Feng Jihan obtained the medicine from the Shen family.
So Cen Xun spared Shen Wenshao's life, hoping to find out from Shen Wenshao's memory what kind of potion the Shen family was making.
But unfortunately, Cen Xun failed.
Because a layer of shackles was planted in Shen Wenshao's memory, all the family secrets were blocked by the shackles.
Cen Xun pulled back the puppet thread and sighed. The defense was so tight that it was certain that the Shen family must have made some kind of shady potion.
Shen Wenshao was still howling in pain on the ground. Cen Xun waited for a while. After he recovered, he asked him directly about the specific content of his family business, wanting to see if Shen Wenshao could describe it orally.
Shen Wenshao didn't dare not answer, and fell to the ground, sobbing. "I don't know. I'm sorry, I don't have any special abilities, so I'm not qualified to interfere in the family business. I only know that my family's genetic special abilities are healing, and I think there's also transfer and grafting. I really don't know anything else. Please forgive me."
"Useless waste." Cen Xun paced around him. "I thought you were some noble young master, but I didn't expect you to be just a name with no substance. You can't even get involved in the family business. What kind of young master of the Shen family are you?"
Every word pierced the most painful part of his heart. Shen Wenshao clenched the carpet with his fingers in humiliation, unable to suppress his painful sobs, and was scolded to tears.
The leather shoes suddenly stopped in front of him, and a gloomy voice fell: "How can you enter the family business? Do you only need to have supernatural powers?"
What did this mean? Was it what he thought? Shen Wenshao was stunned for a moment, then, with a hint of eagerness, he said cautiously, "Yes, I can't say I can enter the laboratory, but at least, at least I can gain experience in the company."
"But I don't think you can accomplish anything, nor do I think you are obedient and useful enough." Cen Xun said coldly.
Shen Wenshao lay on the ground, his hair soaked with cold sweat. In order to obtain the supernatural power he had always dreamed of, he pleaded humbly, "Please give me a chance. I can be obedient and useful."
After the last tremolo sounded, the dim office was silent for a long time, so quiet that Shen Wenshao became more and more anxious.
He didn't know how long it was before he heard the devil's voice again. This time, there was a hint of malice and amusement in the voice: "Okay, then I'll give you a chance."
Before Shen Wenshao could feel any joy, the devil's voice came again: "Then for the next few days, you will be a dog for my followers."
Shen Wenshao suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Nightmare University is in a state of disrepair and in need of manpower," Cen Xun said lazily, "You can go run errands for my faculty and students, and they will grade you. If your scores are acceptable, I will consider hiring you."
""
"If you don't want to, then things will be much simpler." Cen Xun squatted down in front of Shen Wenshao and patted his head gently. His movements were gentle, but his words were extremely cruel: "I will feed you to my dean and use your flesh and blood to build my university."
Shen Wenshao was so frightened that tears kept streaming down his face, but he didn't even dare to sob. He trembled and said, "I, I, I am willing to be a dog!"
"Not bad, you're starting to act like a good kid." Cen Xun stood up, wiped his hands casually, and said without raising his eyelids: "Climb out."
Shen Wenshao really crawled out in a panic, as terrified as if there was a ghost chasing him.
Rong Tianchang was standing at the door of the principal's office hesitating when he saw Shen Wenshao crawling out in a mess. After being surprised, he carefully appreciated the scene and felt very happy.
When Rong Tianchang was controlled by Cen Xun's puppet threads, he retained some consciousness.
He still remembered that this arrogant young master once asked "Rong Tianchang" to lick his shoes. Although it was Cen Xun who controlled Rong Tianchang at that time, the humiliation of being forced by power still deeply shattered Rong Tianchang's self-esteem.
Because he was wearing old clothes, Shen Wenshao looked down on him and ordered him to kneel down and lick his shoes.
Why?
Shen Wenshao was already embarrassed, how could he tolerate being stared at by Rong Tianchang and watching the fun? The young master's temper immediately flared up again. He really didn't dare to offend Cen Xun again, but couldn't he pinch a soft persimmon like Rong Tianchang?
"What are you looking at, you damned lowlife!" Shen Wenshao's eyes blazed with anger: "When I get out of here, I'll definitely dig out your eyes!"
Rong Tianchang swallowed his anger and stared at Shen Wenshao's departing back without saying a word, with resentment suppressed in his eyes.
Through Shen Wenshao, he could see the miniatures of the millions of "superior races" who oppressed ordinary people. They were the exploiters and vested interests in this deformed society. They were the mountains that weighed on ordinary people and that they could never get rid of forever.
Taking a deep breath, Rong Tianchang turned around and knocked on the principal's office door.
"Enter."
Rong Tianchang walked in and saw Cen Xun standing in front of the French window, gazing into the distance. His delicate profile was expressionless. "Why are you back?"
Rong Tianchang coughed lightly. Speaking of this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and hesitantly said, "Principal, I just went to the Academic Affairs Office and found that there was no one in the office."
Cen Xun slowly turned his head and looked at Rong Tianchang.
Rong Tianchang gently reminded: "It seems that the other offices are empty too."
""
Cen Xun then remembered that when he was having a showdown with the old principal, the old principal called together all the faculty and staff to beat him up, so he simply fired all the faculty and staff.
In other words, he is now a real commander without troops.
Cen Xun took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I'll go hire them all back later."
As long as he could be hired back, Rong Tianchang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Cen Xun. Just as he was about to leave the office, Cen Xun suddenly called out to him, "Wait, there's one more thing I need to tell you."
Rong Tianchang stopped and looked at Cen Xun in confusion.
Cen Xun said casually, "Make an assessment form for Shen Wenshao and distribute it to each faculty member. You can also take a copy."
Rong Tianchang's pupils trembled. He didn't know whether he should be shocked by the down-to-earth assessment form or by Cen Xun's methods. He asked with difficulty, "Assessment form? What exactly is the assessment content?"
Cen Xun thought for a moment and said, "He's too foul-mouthed. If he swears, we'll deduct ten points from him. If he doesn't do his job well, we'll also deduct points as appropriate. If he gets angry, we'll deduct points. If he cries, we'll deduct points. If he refuses to be exploited, we'll deduct points. If he faints, we'll deduct points. That's about it. Just make it up."
"" Rong Tianchang was completely speechless. After a long while, he said in embarrassment: "But Principal, he might be deducted a negative number on the first day."
Cen Xun smiled: "You can make up for it by getting slapped. One slap adds one point."
"As for Cen Xun, Rong Tianchang had nothing to say except the word 'awesome'.
Rong Tianchang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Cen Xun turned around and smiled at him, "Nightmare University treats all students equally. You are a student of Nightmare University, and an extremely outstanding student at that. If you are bullied again in the future, don't endure it. Tell me directly."
Treating everyone equally was a light and airy word, but it was something Rong Tianchang had been pursuing for half his life. The tip of his nose couldn't help but feel sore, and Rong Tianchang felt his soul warm and light. He nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
How could Rong Tianchang have such a great reputation that he could have met such a good mentor at the lowest point in his life?
With a boss like this, what else could I ask for in life!
Rong Tianchang's blood suddenly boiled, and his heart was filled with the firm determination to sacrifice his life for Nightmare University. After saying goodbye to the principal, Rong Tianchang rushed out, shouting in his heart about bonds and the future.
After Rong Tianchang left eagerly, the principal's office fell silent.
Cen Xun, who had casually toyed with several players, sat back in his swivel chair and sighed comfortably.
Sure enough, being an evil villain suits him better.
After pulling out the system panel, Cen Xun finally had time to carefully check the new special identity and special props.
[Monster Name: Cen Xun]
[Faction: Nightmare Faction]
[Monster Level: ? ? (The monster is in a semi-awakened state, so its overall level cannot be determined!)]
[Points earned: 13,256,520]
[Acquired Faith Value: 20,000 (You are the worthy president of Nightmare University. Please annex more strange domains and continue to expand your group of believers!)]
[Unlocked special identity: Folklorist (Orange Level)]
[Unlocked special identity: Nightmare Principal (Red Level)]
Among the two skills of the "Folklorist", "Nightmare Puppet Show" has been upgraded to the orange level, and "Paper Makes Reality" has been upgraded to the green level. In addition, there is an additional special skill "Talismans Create All Things".
[Exclusive Skill 3: All-Seeing Talisman (Purple Level)]
[Special Skill Introduction: The sky is round and the earth is square, the laws are nine chapters long. I write now, and all the ghosts hide!]
[Unlocked Talisman: Bad Luck Talisman]
Seeing this, a question mark slowly appeared in Cen Xun's head: "?"
Your special skill description is so impressive, but the talisman you unlock is a bad luck talisman. How can this be justified? Ugh!
What's the use of him having a bad luck charm? Is it to make himself unlucky?
Cen Xun slid through this new stunt with mixed feelings.
No, maybe it will bring bad luck to others.
Cen Xun focused on the new identity of "Nightmare Principal".
[Special Identity: Nightmare Principal (Red Level)]
[Special Skill 1 for this Identity: Absolute Domain (Red Level)]
[Special Skill Introduction: Within the territory you rule, you have absolute control over everything within it. You can set rules for your territory, and those who do not comply will be punished accordingly. (Note: Since the monster is in a semi-awakened state, using this skill outside the weird domain will increase the awakening progress)]
[Current awakening progress: 28%]
[Special Skill 2 for this Identity: Among Three People, One Must Be My Teacher (Qingyi Level)]
[Special Skill Introduction: When traveling with three people, you have a chance to randomly learn new skills from the other two. The higher the level of the learned skill, the shorter the usage time limit (Note: This restriction does not apply to your followers)]
[Special Skill 3 for this Identity: Teaching and Educating (Purple Level)]
[Special Skill Introduction: Useful knowledge should be shared. You can temporarily share your skills with your followers, and your followers can also share their skills with subordinate followers. (Note: Only transfers from high-level followers to low-level followers are allowed.)]
After reading the special skills of the special identity of [Nightmare Principal], Cen Xun fell into deep thought for a while.
The first skill is "Absolute Domain". Cen Xun has just tested it on Shen Wenshao and Rong Tianchang. Nightmare University is Cen Xun's domain. For ordinary people like Shen Wenshao who have no special abilities, Cen Xun can order him to do anything and he cannot resist.
According to the introduction, this skill seems to be able to set rules outside the school, but using this skill will increase the "awakening progress". In other words, the more you use it, the faster you die. There are disadvantages, but they are not a big problem.
As for the statement that "you can awaken corresponding skills by joining the academy", it is based on the third special skill "Teaching and Educating".
The reason why players can awaken the so-called superpowers is because Cen Xun shared the corresponding dean's abilities with the players, which created the effect of "awakening superpowers."
But this also means that once players drop out of school, their special abilities will disappear immediately. So after players enroll, apart from dropping out, their only option is to work for Nightmare University for the rest of their lives.
The skill of "When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher" is also very interesting. Cen Xun can randomly learn skills from the other two people, which means that Cen Xun can often have new skills to play with.
Moreover, the restrictions of this skill are not valid for followers. Doesn't this mean that if Cen Xun can find a high-level monster, sign a labor contract with it, and turn it into his follower, Cen Xun can always share the skills of that high-level monster?
Good, good, this skill is really good!
The only question is, where should Cen Xun go to dig out high-level monsters to bring into the school?
Cen Xun thought for a while and decided to put this question aside for the time being and go look for information about the special item [Nightmare Ruler].
He vaguely remembered that this item was of "Chen Star Level", but what level was "Chen Star Level"?
Could it be the realm above the red clothes?
[Special Item: Nightmare Ruler (Shen Star Level)]
【Unlocked props function:
1. Daytime Awakening: When the bound person is affected by strange confusion, the Nightmare Ruler will actively help the bound person wake up.
2. Level shock: Nightmare Ruler will have a certain chaotic effect on props below the sinking star.
3. Supreme Majesty: Use the Nightmare Ruler to attack, and the attacked object will respect you and be intimidated by your teacher's majesty.
Kind tips:
1. Using star-level items across levels will speed up the awakening process and bring unknown negative effects. Please use the items with caution.
2. If you have collected enough Faith in a specific situation, you can offset some of the negative effects of using the skill "Supreme Majesty".
After reading it, Cen Xun fell into silence: ""
He summarized it, that is to say, whether it is the Red-level skill [Absolute Domain] or the Shen-star item [Nightmare Ruler], using them will increase his awakening progress.
Cen Xun now understood the reason behind this: once he used strength that exceeded his body's load limit, his body would begin to collapse and his awakening progress would increase.
Cen Xun was quite accepting of this result.
As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. How can you have such a good thing if you want to be powerful and stay awake at the same time?
After realizing this, Cen Xun closed the system panel, stood up and walked out the door.
Running Nightmare University requires manpower, and he has to recruit back all the dismissed faculty and staff.
As if unaffected by last night's meteor shower, the sun rises as usual on a new day.
After experiencing destruction, H City is once again bathed in false sunshine.
Cen Xun sat on the highest point of the bell tower and looked into the distance. With his eyesight, he could clearly see the scenery outside the school.
The ruins of buildings and the chaotic streets were shrouded in thick black fog. Occasionally, the figure of some unknown creature flashed by in the black fog, which was obviously not a good thing.
The black fog has spread outside the school, but is blocked by the invisible barrier outside Nightmare University and cannot go any further.
This is the advantage of having a strange domain. It is a space of its own and is not easily invaded by foreign enemies.
But there is no guarantee that Nightmare University will never be hacked.
Whether they are low-level weird students or professors and deans of slightly higher ranks, they are now all Cen Xun's followers.
Although they are dependent on Cen Xun and obey his orders completely, they are also monsters and have the need to devour energy.
Negative emotions and flesh and blood are their sources of energy. If they cannot obtain energy from the outside, they can only obtain energy from Cen Xun.
If Cen Xun cannot get Nightmare University up and running and earn enough points, his huge number of followers will soon drain him dry.
Cen Xun sighed to the Nightmare Ruler, "It seems like starting a university isn't easy."
"But I just like challenges," Cen Xun curved his lips, "otherwise it would be too boring."
Facing the wind, Cen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "There are not many people available in the management team right now. I have to go outside to find some help."
"It's best if you can bring money to school."
But the question remains, where is he going to dig out the monsters and bring them into the school?
When fraudsters first start committing crimes, most of them start with acquaintances, and Cen Xun is no exception.
After thinking for a minute, Cen Xun happily found a suitable candidate.
In H City, Cen Xun happened to have an acquaintance.
This person's name is Tong Ming. He was one of the children who were captured and taken to the small mountain village as a sacrifice. Cen Xun has kept in touch with him over the years.
During their previous contacts, Cen Xun learned that Tong Ming had realized his dream and successfully joined the TV station, becoming a reporter who could spy on other people's privacy at any time.
Last night, H City was destroyed in a meteor shower. All the monsters that should have awakened in the city should have already awakened. If that person had not died, he should have awakened into a monster as well.
The signal in the ghost domain still exists, so it should be no problem to call the ghost in another ghost domain. Cen Xun took out his mobile phone, found the number and dialed it.
If that person turned into a monster, Cen Xun hoped that he still had the consciousness to answer his call.
There are ruins everywhere outside now, so it’s not easy to find ghosts.
