Chapter 135
Happy times are always short-lived, even though the last two days were not that happy. It was time for them to start school, and Su Bei, who no longer had the "Dream Bubble" debuff, took a taxi to the college.
Before he even entered the classroom, Su Bei heard the noisy sounds inside. There was no doubt that Mo Xiaotian had arrived. When he came in, he was chatting in front of the wooden iron man's table.
Many people also had a small gift box on their tables.
When he saw Su Bei coming in, Mo Xiaotian's eyes lit up. He went back to his seat, took out a gift box from the hole in the table, and then ran to Su Bei: "Brother Bei, this is for you!"
Su Bei raised his eyebrows: "This is..."
"Grandpa said you worked hard to take care of me last semester, so he asked me to bring you a small gift." Mo Xiaotian put the gift on Su Bei's desk and said happily, "I picked this especially for you! Everyone can use it!"
"No merit, no reward." Su Bei looked at the gift, "I don't think I did anything to help you."
After hearing this, Mo Xiaotian suddenly became serious. But he had a baby face, and when he was serious, he looked more like a child pretending to be an adult: "How can you say that you have helped me a lot! Let's not talk about anything else, just the midterm exam, I should have prepared a gift for each of you."
That's true. During the midterm exam, each of them worked hard to help Mo Xiaotian pass the exam, so he really deserves this gift.
But the problem is, when will Mo Xiaotian be able to say such a well-reasoned statement?
Abnormality means there is a problem. Su Bei looked at the gift again. He wondered if there would be problems after opening it, or if there would be problems as long as he accepted it.
As for the problem only after using it, that is also possible. After all, Mo Xiaotian has just said that it is a gift that everyone can use. Since it can be used, it is possible that the problem will only occur after using it.
However, Su Bei still thinks that this is unlikely. After all, not everyone will use a gift immediately after receiving it. Many people will just treat the gift as a collection, a symbol of friendship and hang it up high.
After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Then put it here."
He didn't say to accept the gift, but just let him leave it here. He won't open it next time. If he still falls into the trap after all this, then Su Bei will be helpless.
He can only avoid risks based on some foresight, but if it is an inevitable danger, Su Bei will be powerless.
After hearing what he said, Mo Xiaotian didn't say anything. He happily went to the door to greet the next person.
This at least proves that the trigger for this prop to be activated does not require him to accept the gift, but it is not good news for Su Bei, because the most dangerous possibility has not been ruled out, and now it becomes a choice between two.
Zhou Renjie arrived not long after. He obviously hadn't forgotten what Su Bei had told him. He quickly walked to his desk and took out a stack of photos from his bag. "These are the ones I've seen. They're renovated one-bedroom apartments with better conditions near our college. Take a look and see if you see anything you want."
Since it is only used for emergency purposes near the college, it is natural to choose a house that has already been renovated and is ready for move-in.
Su Bei looked at the photos carefully and had to say that Zhou Renjie was very attentive. The house he picked looked good in the photos. Su Bei preferred a simple decoration style, so he directly chose a house with mostly black and white furniture.
After the selection, he directly transferred the money to Zhou Renjie. Knowing his family background, he didn't have to worry about him cheating him. However, this payment directly wiped out all his previous savings.
But Su Bei was not worried. He had saved most of the money for the house in the last semester alone. This was even though they had not been to the alien space for a while and were only studying in college.
Su Bei believed that he would be able to earn the money back quickly in the next semester. He did not ask for too much. He would stop as long as he could earn enough to open a hardware store and some money for his retirement.
If you can't save the world, then there's no point in saving money for retirement.
Others did not have such a God's perspective as him, so they naturally opened the gift sent by Mo Xiaotian without any scruples. Su Bei watched Zhao Xiaoyu, who had just come in, open the gift he sent after asking Mo Xiaotian.
It turned out to be something that everyone could use—a U-shaped pillow.
The color of the pillow was chosen according to the color of everyone's hair, and it looked very comfortable. Zhao Xiaoyu put the pillow behind her neck and said with a smile: "Thank you, it feels quite comfortable."
"It has been given a permanent supernatural power, which is said to help people sleep well!" Mo Xiaotian was obviously very happy with Zhao Xiaoyu's praise.
However, Su Bei was not happy. He had already guessed what the problem was with this item. If it didn't make people fall into a deep sleep, then it would cause trouble in people's dreams.
Such a gift should be used to drag you into a dream or make you sleep forever. But again, not everyone will use a U-shaped pillow. For example, Su Bei himself does not have this habit.
Forget it, I just need to put the things away from me when I get back. If I still get caught, then it's an inevitable plot point.
While he was thinking, Feng Lan came in. He looked around and walked up to the podium when he saw that everyone was there. He talked about the follow-up of the previous incident: "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for helping me get through the difficulties last time. All the undercovers in our family have been caught. The antidote for red wine is still under research, but there has been progress."
After explaining the follow-up, it was time to talk about compensation: "Regarding this mistake, as a thank you to our class, each person will receive 20 million, plus a five-day spiritual practice trip to the Weixi Holy Land for the entire class."
The 20 million yuan compensation in the beginning only shocked a small number of people, and the rest of the people who had money or were not short of money did not care much about the compensation. But the phrase "Visiting the Holy Land for spiritual practice" in the end surprised them.
"What is the 'Weixi Holy Land'?" Mu Tieren asked in confusion. He had never heard of this place. Not only him, but also Su Bei, Jiang Tianming, Zhao Xiaoyu and others had never heard of it.
There are still knowledgeable people in their class. In order to show his wide knowledge, Zhou Renjie helped to explain: "It is a holy place for people with special abilities. Everyone in that area can awaken special abilities, and their innate spiritual power is very high. However, the city has been closed for a long time and has become an independent country. Only a small number of people can enter every year, and it costs a lot of money."
"What will happen after we go in?" Wu Mingbai asked curiously.
Seeing that it was him who asked the question, Zhou Renjie snorted coldly: "Huh, you didn't even think of that? Of course there are many opportunities in a place like this. People who come out can at least improve their mental strength. If they really encounter an opportunity, they can gain even more."
Qi Huang, who was not far away, was not used to his showing off his little knowledge, so he glanced at him and took the initiative to explain: "Let me give you an example so you can understand. There was a psychic who had been in a bottleneck for a long time. He spent all his wealth to enter the 'Weixi Holy Land' for a week, and when he came out, he successfully broke through the bottleneck. That person was Principal Wu Di. He became the strongest psychic less than a year after he came out."
This example was convincing enough that everyone could not help but show a look of yearning. Although they knew that the "Weixi Holy Land" was not the main reason why Wu Bi could become the strongest esper, it was definitely a great help.
He must have been very strong before that, but the "Weixi Holy Land" still allowed him to improve greatly. His ceiling was clearly revealed.
After saying that, she looked at Feng Lan and asked with curiosity and envy: "How did you get such a high position?"
You have to know that with such a high reputation, the value is definitely not to be underestimated. In Qi Huang's opinion, it is probably enough to offset the total income of several Feng family open days.
And the most important thing is that this quota is in short supply. The number is small, and everyone is rushing to get it. People who can get this quota are generally not short of money, and most likely they will not sell it, so it is even more difficult to get all 15 quotas.
Feng Lan replied casually: "My family has always cooperated with the 'Weixi Holy Land'."
After hearing this answer, everyone understood immediately. A holy place like this must be afraid of something happening to it, so it is normal for it to have long-term cooperation with the prophecy family. With the prophecy in hand, one can predict in advance whether one will encounter danger, so that even if something really happens, one can avoid it in advance.
This is also the reason why Feng Lan's family, although they have no offensive power, can still stand firm and have power.
No matter which force needs them, they will naturally prosper as they are in a neutral position.
After Zhou Renjie and Qi Huang finished their introductions, Zhao Xiaoyu raised his hand impatiently and asked, "When are we going? Summer vacation?"
Just from the fact that only the rich people in the class knew about this place, she knew that the "Weixi Holy Land" was definitely an extraordinary place. Apart from anything else, the fact that it could improve her mental strength was something Zhao Xiaoyu needed very much.
Although Meng Huai had signed her up for the college's funding program after she awakened her new powers, those grants need to be repaid, and there is no such thing as a free benefit.
Of course, she didn't mean to be dissatisfied with the college's funding. In fact, Zhao Xiaoyu felt that she got a great deal. The funding contract given to her by the teacher was that the college was responsible for using resources to train her, and Zhao Xiaoyu would need to work at the "Endless Ability College" for at least 20 years in the future.
It looked like a mandatory employment contract, but it was exactly what she wanted. Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't think of anything better than becoming stronger and solving her work problems.
Although her ability is very powerful against nightmare beasts, and she is very popular in the three academies, the supernatural government, and other families. But relatively speaking, the academy that cultivates her is definitely more trustworthy.
Besides, her original plan for the future was to become a teacher, and now she has finally achieved her goal.
Back to the matter of the "Weixi Holy Land", Feng Lan directly gave a time after hearing Zhao Xiaoyu's question: "No, it's after the midterm exam. That's right after Easter. According to the past practice of the "Endless Ability Academy", there will be a full week of rest time."
After answering, seeing that no one had any questions, he added: "If anyone cannot accept this compensation for personal reasons, you can tell me and I will find a different compensation for you."
Feng Lan walked out of the podium and bowed slightly to everyone: "Thank you again for your help! I hope this compensation will satisfy you."
Satisfied, how could I not be satisfied? They didn't ask for anything when they helped me, and it was a complete surprise to get such a big reward afterwards.
Although Su Bei had never heard of the "Weixi Holy Land", from the performance of Zhou Renjie and the others, we can know that this place is definitely of great benefit to people with special abilities.
Especially the improvement of mental power, which made Su Bei very excited. Although he already had a high-level spirit, his ability really consumed mental power.
Su Bei couldn't even imagine how powerless he would be facing so many abilities if he hadn't immediately used comics to increase his mental strength.
Not to mention anything else, just take his simplest ability of adjusting the little finger needle. If he does not obtain advanced mental power, it will directly consume three quarters of his mental power at a time.
Not to mention the others, if you want to use it, just use vitality as the base.
For a high-level spiritual power possessor like him, even a little bit of spiritual power would be a huge improvement.
As for the opportunities they mentioned later, Su Bei knew that the protagonists would definitely encounter them, but he didn't know if he could. Opportunities are often personal, like the last time they went to the mine, they were all in the mine, but he didn't get any benefits.
He also asked about the benefit of that incident, which was the improvement of mental strength. All those who faced the explosion directly had their mental strength improved to varying degrees, and the closer they were to it, the more it improved.
To be honest, when Su Bei heard the news, he was heartbroken. He also wanted to improve his spiritual power! No one wanted to improve his spiritual power more than him. God knows how much damage it would do to his young mind if he missed such an opportunity.
Apart from that one time, he never encountered an opportunity to improve his spiritual power. The spiritual crystal did not count, as that item could only replenish spiritual power, and it was not very compatible with Su Bei.
This is what Su Bei discovered in practice. When he used the invisibility charm, he could become invisible, but the spirit crystal could not. Once he took it out, he would be exposed immediately.
Although humans cannot smell the information of the spirit crystal, it is still very obvious to those detection instruments. Once there is any instrument that detects mental fluctuations or supernatural fluctuations at the place where it is used, it will be discovered at that time.
This was totally incompatible with Su Bei who liked to use the invisibility talisman. He had no choice but to sell most of the large amount of spiritual crystals he had on hand and only keep a small part in his own hands for emergency use.
However, it was this sale of the Spirit Crystal that successfully allowed him to save enough money to buy a house near the school. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have a house but not enough money.
Su Bei thought that he had gone bankrupt recently and would have to live frugally for a while. But Feng Lan's timely help of 20 million yuan made him a well-off family again.
While the class teacher was not here yet, Su Bei took out his phone and searched for this "Weixi Holy Land". Of course, it was not on Baidu Encyclopedia, but the official website of the superpowers should have a lot of relevant content.
Su Bei quickly found what he wanted. As expected, there was an introduction to the "Weixi Holy Land" on its official website.
This is an independent island located in the sea. It does not belong to any country, but it has not established an independent country either. The island is rich in supernatural resources, and only a small number of supernatural people can enter the island for further study every year.
It can be seen that the island has done a good job of keeping secrets. There is only this much information on the official website, and the rest is just some nonsense literature that keeps repeating itself.
Just as I finished reading, the bell rang. Meng Huai entered the classroom on time and asked everyone to hand in their homework. He also emphasized: "The most important thing is the feeling of the different space. Everyone has to hand it in. There are only 15 people in the class. I will still do it according to the number of people. Don't think about getting away with it."
But he was obviously worrying too much, and everyone was aware of this. Everyone handed in their homework honestly, and even Mo Xiaotian, who had the worst grades, miraculously completed all of it.
Meng Huai even praised Mo Xiaotian a few times. After all, he was well aware of Mo Xiaotian's academic performance, and it was already very good that he could finish his homework.
Seeing Mo Xiaotian handing in his homework, Su Bei couldn't help but look at the wooden iron man. At this time, the wooden iron man's eyes were dark blue, as if he was cosplaying as a giant panda. He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he looked very listless.
Looking at the harmonious scene of "Teacher's kindness breeds filial piety" on Mo Xiaotian's side, Su Bei couldn't help shaking his head. There is no such thing as a peaceful time in this world. It's just that someone is carrying the burden and moving forward.
After collecting the homework, Meng Huai did not look at it immediately, or rather, he had no intention of looking at it at all. He decisively put the homework aside, as if he was going to sell it as garbage. After all, who wants to read a group of children's winter vacation diaries? Isn't that just a waste of time?
He briefly talked about the work arrangement for this semester: "The second semester is the same as the first semester. The three more important exams are the first monthly exam, the midterm exam, and the final exam. If your grades are average at other times, I won't care, but everyone must get good grades in these three exams..."
At this point he glanced at Mo Xiaotian and said, "The basic requirement to stay in our class is to pass the cultural examination."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Xiaotian's face suddenly turned tearful. He really hated cultural subjects. With such an optimistic personality, he hated cultural subjects so much, which was enough to show how bad he was at it.
He was very happy to become a superpower, thinking that he would not have to take the college entrance examination and no longer have to study those annoying cultural subjects. But who would have thought that after coming to the superpower academy, he would still have to study mathematics, physics and chemistry. Isn't this going to kill him?
However, Su Bei, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom, felt that he didn't need to be so worried. Judging from his guess about the pace of the plot, Mo Xiaotian might not be able to stay safely in Class S for the entire semester.
In fact, Su Bei was surprised that his undercover identity was not exposed last semester. Su Bei expressed doubts about whether he could last another semester.
Meng Huai continued his speech on the stage: "This semester will continue the teaching mode of the second half of the last semester. You will go to different spaces for more training. In addition, you also need to take on more tasks. As for school training, the methods that can help you improve your mental strength in the last semester have been taught almost completely. You can improve by practicing privately. This semester, we will start physical training."
Because of the difference in teaching speed, he specifically said to Su Bei and others who were doing physical training last semester: "As for you guys, some different arrangements are also needed. First of all, Zhao Xiaoyu, you should make up for the mental training class you took last semester this semester."
Since her ability changed, improving her mental strength was the first thing Zhao Xiaoyu needed to do. She knew this herself, and nodded seriously, with a bit of anticipation in her eyes. The school had said before that they would focus on training her, and it should start with training her mental strength.
"Wooden Iron Man, you should continue to practice physical skills and improve your basic strength to the level you will reach in the final exam, then you will pass." Meng Huai was referring to the appearance of Wooden Iron Man's super transformation when he saved people. The teachers who saw this scene were very surprised.
However, they accepted the subsequent explanation of the wooden iron man, after all, they could not think of any other possibility.
Mutieren smiled bitterly. It was not easy to achieve such a physical condition. But he did not argue. Mutieren was a good student who was not good at arguing with his teacher, even if the request was a little difficult for him: "Teacher, I will try my best."
Finally, Meng Huai looked at Su Bei. To be honest, sometimes even he felt troubled by this student. His mental strength was top-notch, and his physical skills were excellent enough. It was difficult for the school to teach such a student anything, and at most it could only provide him with some practical combat opportunities.
However, the "Infinite Power Academy" has a solid foundation, and many talented students have emerged during its time. It still has its own set of methods for educating them.
"As for you, Su Bei, our initial decision is to give you refined training in mental power control. The ultimate effect of this training should be to enable you to finely control every bit of mental power and use them to the best effect." This is the training program given by the school, and it is something that every high-level mental power user should learn.
Of course, it doesn't mean that ordinary psychics don't need to learn it, but it is an advanced course for them, while it is a basic course for those with advanced mental powers.
But Meng Huai was not sure whether Su Bei needed this, so he added: "If you think you have done a good job in controlling your mental strength, we can also change a training plan for you after the assessment."
However, this is what Su Bei really needs to learn now. After all, his mental power is completely improved by wild methods, and it is a wild method that cannot be replicated. It really needs systematic training.
He had also tried to refine his mental power before, but it was through the method of using it, not the mental power itself. Now the academy took the initiative to help him cultivate it, which was exactly what Su Bei wanted.
He shook his head slightly: "No, this is fine."
After finishing what he needed to say, seeing that the class was about to end, Meng Huai finally talked about the class schedule for tomorrow: "Because everyone has already come into contact with high-level nightmare beasts, there will be a special high-level nightmare beast introduction class tomorrow. The school has captured a new high-level nightmare beast for you to study. If you are worried about safety, don't forget to prepare your own protective gear."
