Chapter 166
At the same time, the voice of "comic consciousness" came to Su Bei's ears: "The King of Superpowers has been updated, please pay attention to it."
It seems that nothing has happened during this period of time when I am updating the comics now. Su Bei suppressed the doubts in his heart and focused his attention back on the present.
When Jiang Tianming stepped down, he attracted even more attention than Su Bei did at that time. All the students of "Alpha Superpower High School" were looking at him, looking at the genius who defeated Elvis.
They were not people who knew Jiang Tianming well, nor were they people who had fought against him, so they had no idea how Jiang Tianming had been able to control all the stones in the quarry at once. They just thought that he had a lot of mental power, and that he had enough energy to do these things after releasing two ice-type group attack abilities.
What does this prove? It proves that his mental strength is far superior to that of ordinary people!
The two most intuitive manifestations of the strength of a superpower are the superpower itself and the mental power. After today's match, it was already known that Jiang Tianming had two superpowers, and his mental power was mistakenly believed to be very strong. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone at "Alpha Superpower High School", he was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Tianming, he had already been recognized by a group of students as a genius even more powerful than Elvis.
Of course they had to celebrate their victory properly. After leaving the crowd, the four of them surrounded Jiang Tianming and left the crowd, preparing to find a small restaurant outside to have a good meal.
Watching them leave, Joseph complimented Meng Huai next to him, "The students your school has trained this time are all extraordinary. We thought we could be the best with Elvis, but now it seems that we were just daydreaming."
Hearing this, Meng Huai shook his head, not getting carried away by his compliment and losing his mind: "More than a quarter is enough time for Elvis of your academy to grow to a new level, and the performance of both sides in the team battle is still unknown."
This is not something I said deliberately to comfort him. It is a well-known fact that individual battles and team battles are not the same.
Team battles test coordination more. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. In previous years, the particularly powerful psychic teams were jointly designed by several weak psychics in team battles, and they often capsized in the end.
So even if each of them performs well, if they don't cooperate well in the team battle, they are likely to fail and be eliminated. It is meaningless to talk about the performance in the tournament.
Meng Huai thought that after the exchange activity was over, it was time for them to practice teamwork. He had a headache when he thought about it. These people were very powerful on their own, but when it came to teamwork... did they really have the awareness of cooperation?
He could only be thankful that among the students in Class S there was no one of the type that was most common in previous years, who believed that they were the undisputed strongest and could win the game without cooperating with anyone.
It was fun to teach a troublemaker a lesson, but he was just here to slack off this year. He had already been forced to return to Class S, and if he had to teach that kind of troublemaker again, he would resign on the spot to show Wu Di.
In the restaurant.
"Ah Jiang, you are really amazing this time!" Lan Subing's face flushed with excitement, "You can actually win against such a perverted supernatural power!"
She said so many words at once, and it was obvious that she really thought Jiang Tianming was amazing. But it was true, and even Su Bei admired him for being able to turn defeat into victory through planning when he was at a disadvantage in terms of superpowers.
Although Lan Subing also defeated Elvis, it was a trick after all, and she herself was not proud of it.
"The main reason is that he doesn't understand my abilities." Jiang Tianming said modestly, and told the truth again, "And he seems to have been fooled by my previous performance."
In fact, in the battle just now, if Elvis had performed a little more ruthlessly, not caring about consuming his physical and mental strength and attacking Jiang Tianming with all his strength, then he would have most likely eliminated Jiang Tianming before he completed his plan.
Su Bei also noticed this. With his supernatural powers, Elvis should not be able to keep Jiang Tianming occupied for too long, unless he lets him.
There are two possibilities for him to let Jiang Tianming win. One is that he underestimated Jiang Tianming's strength, so like a cat catching a mouse, he deliberately didn't kill him with one strike and solved the problem as quickly as possible. The other possibility is that he wanted to give Jiang Tianming a chance to see if he had any tricks up his sleeve.
But no matter which one it was, Jiang Tianming successfully seized the opportunity and laid the foundation for victory.
"It's a pity that 'Alpha Superpower High School' doesn't have an arena casting project." Su Bei said regretfully. If there was, he would 100% bet on Jiang Tianming to win, and would not even bet on a tie. He would definitely make a fortune by then.
Why is he so sure that Jiang Tianming will win? Because he is the protagonist! If the other characters lose or tie, the protagonist will most likely win. A tie is also possible, but wouldn't that make the protagonist less special?
"It's a bit of a pity." Lan Subing nodded affirmatively. Although before that game, they didn't think Jiang Tianming could win, but this did not prevent them from definitely defeating Jiang Tianming.
Ai Baozhu waved her hands in disinterest: "Even if we open a ring, the bets are nothing more than credits. But the credits of 'Alpha Supernatural High School' are of no use to us. They don't even allow the buying and selling of credits."
Hearing this, the others immediately lost interest. For them, the credits here are just a tool for making a living. Of course, "Alpha Superpower High School" also has something similar to a points mall, but it is definitely not open to exchange students, so the credits are really useless.
After returning to the dormitory, Su Bei immediately opened his phone to check the updated comics. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that something happened that he didn't know about, but it turned out that this chapter was just a bit ordinary.
The three comics in the three locations are all relatively daily content. It seems that because the plot of the last updated chapter was relatively large, some daily content was deliberately drawn to slow down the pace.
However, this "daily life" is only unilaterally considered by Su Bei. In his eyes, anything that does not involve the main plot is called daily life. In the eyes of other readers, the content of this update is still very exciting.
The next day, when classes started, the campus life that had originally returned to normal became lively again. Many people's enthusiasm for the exchange students was ignited by Jiang Tianming's victory yesterday, and they occasionally glanced at them.
Of course, the one being peeped at was mainly Jiang Tianming. It can be said that he received unprecedented enthusiasm, some asked him how to cultivate his supernatural powers, some asked him if he had a girlfriend (boyfriend is also fine), some asked him if he was willing to transfer schools...
In short, the area was full of people after class.
Although he attracted most of the firepower, Su Bei and Elvis were not very comfortable. Most of those who came to Su Bei were probably because they failed to get close to Jiang Tianming and wanted to save Zhao from Wei.
What a joke! Jiang Tianming ignored them. How could he
Su Bei saw that they had forgotten the warning he had given them when he first arrived, so he had to make up for it quickly. So without hesitation, he adjusted the luck of the three people who came to him to the worst. It was relatively easy for him to adjust the little finger needles of the three people. If there were more, he would have to change to another method.
Soon, bad things happened to these three people one by one. One of them fell down suddenly, or a pile of bird shit fell on his head while he was looking at the scenery, or a cup of water was knocked over, soaking the books on the table...
What is the common feature of these three people? Everyone looked at Su Bei at the same time. Many people who had just wanted to find Su Bei to learn about Jiang Tianming like those three people, but did not dare to act, could not help but secretly rejoice in their hearts.
Fortunately, they were frightened, otherwise they would be the ones in trouble now. Su Bei's ability is hard to defend against, so it's better for them not to provoke him.
Elvis, on his part, encountered some blind people who provoked him. There were always some people who thought that since he could be defeated by others, he could also be defeated by themselves, so they enthusiastically invited him to a ring match.
Elvis accepted all these little idiots and agreed to all of them. Although fighting with them was boring, it was a waste not to beat the punching bags that came to him.
He didn't even have to wait until school was over. He quickly dealt with all of them during lunch time. Thanks to their provocation, Elvis had a good opportunity to shock the thugs.
After this incident, I'm sure no one will challenge him for a while. Elvis actually likes fighting, but he prefers to fight the strong rather than wasting time with the weak.
After they solved their own problems, they could concentrate on watching Jiang Tianming have fun. Jiang Tianming really didn't have any good way to get rid of these people around him. First, they were well-intentioned and he couldn't be cruel. Second, he didn't have the ability to solve all of them in one go like Su Bei.
Seeing that Su Bei was still watching the excitement, Jiang Tianming directly chose to use his previous method to divert the trouble to others: "Don't ask me, ask Su Bei. We are good friends, and his answer is my answer."
At that time, Su Bei was standing next to him. Hearing this undisguised criticism, he glanced at Jiang Tianming with a smile, then looked at the people around him who were ready to make a move, and rubbed his wrist nonchalantly: "What's the matter with you standing in front of me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Control Department Class 1 seemed to be threatened and quickly shook their heads: "No, no."
After saying that, they quickly stepped back and made way for them. They didn't want to experience the feeling of diarrhea again. This guy's method was not even possible to counter. What else could they do?
After leaving the class, Jiang Tianming couldn't help but sigh: "You are still the most intimidating person."
Just one sentence can easily solve their dilemma, which feels more effective than the teacher coming forward. Of course, Jiang Tianming, who has always been in the first class of the control department, also knows why he is so intimidating. It is because of the two previous demonstrations.
The reason why he just diverted the trouble to the east was not because he really thought they would have the courage to ask Su Bei those questions, but just to use this as an introduction to let Su Bei take action to persuade them to withdraw.
"Just punch the person who was closest to you in the face. His intimidation is greater than mine." Su Bei said calmly.
Jiang Tianming: “…”
He looked at Su Bei's expression, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.
Finally, there were no outsiders around, so the two took out their phones. As soon as they opened them, they saw a message from Meng Huai: "Come to the door of the faculty and staff dormitory to find me."
After checking the time when the message was sent, it was exactly when they were leaving school. The two looked at each other and walked towards the staff teaching building together.
Because they were delayed by their classmates, they were the last to arrive. When they arrived, everyone else had already arrived, including Meng Huai.
Seeing the two of them coming, Meng Huai praised Jiang Tianming a few times. His fight with Elvis today was indeed remarkable and it also saved face for the school. It would be wrong not to praise him.
But he wasn't one to brag, so after a few simple words he got down to business: "I called you here today to talk about the resource alien space. Let's go outside the school and talk. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
They went to a high-end western restaurant outside the school. While waiting for their meals in a private room, Meng Huai continued to talk about what happened before: "The resource space will be opened next week. You haven't learned much about this type of space before, so I will give you a refresher."
The five people began to receive knowledge under his explanation. The so-called resource space is different from other spaces. It is actually part of the mainland. It can be said that they have another common name - "Lost Continent".
When there are no humans in this area and nightmare beasts are everywhere, this area will be hidden by gods and become a different dimension. Because there are many resources left by humans and existing resources in it, it is called a resource different dimension.
The renewable resource space is divided into two types. One is the mineral resources in a space that can be renewed, but those man-made resources, such as skill books, cannot be renewed.
The other is that there is a rare high-level nightmare beast in the alien space, called the "knowledge nightmare beast". This kind of nightmare beast must live in a place with books or human knowledge. They are weak in attack, but have strong self-protection ability, and have a very special ability, which is to find and summon similar knowledge.
For example, if you place them in a room full of skill books, they will summon a new batch of skill books after a period of time. The same goes for other knowledge.
When this nightmare beast was first discovered, many large families would try their best to catch one and put it in their own library so that the collection in the library would become richer and richer.
However, they are not vegetarians. I have mentioned before that high-level nightmare beasts share vision. Knowledge nightmare beasts are also a very special existence among high-level nightmare beasts. In order to prevent humans from becoming stronger and stronger, once this kind of nightmare beast is caught, there will be a massive attack of nightmare beasts immediately. At that time, many families were destroyed for this reason.
Now that the nightmare beasts have come out, of course they can't just kill one family. Usually an entire group of humans will be wiped out, and this place will naturally become a resource alien space.
The resource space in "Alpha Supernatural High School" is of this type. There is a knowledge nightmare beast in it, so even resources such as skill books can be regenerated.
After briefly introducing the situation in this resource space, Meng Huai gave them an order: "Your main task this time is to get the skill book. If you can use it, use it yourself. If you can't use it, you can go back to the academy to exchange it for points."
The "Endless Ability Academy" also has other resources, except for skill books, which are in short supply everywhere and are what all the psychics are eager to get.
Su Bei blinked and suddenly took out a map from his storage ring: "Come to think of it, I just happened to get a map of a skill book resource point in this resource space."
Everyone: ""
"You can't get everything like this." Lan Subing looked incredulous. She could say that the previous intelligence was obtained by Su Bei through his supernatural powers, but she couldn't say that anymore.
Meng Huai opened the map and looked at it for a while, then looked at Su Bei sharply: "This map was given to you by the teacher of 'Alpha Supernatural High School'. What did you trade with them?"
He could tell at a glance that this map was an official one of "Alpha Supernatural High School", with the school emblem and some traces of protective supernatural powers on it.
It is impossible for Su Bei to steal something like this. He must have done something to make the teacher of "Alpha Superpower High School" give him the map voluntarily.
The map of skill book resource points was so valuable that even just one of the resource points was worth a lot. Meng Huai was afraid that Su Bei had directly promised to transfer to another school because the other party had given him this map.
I promised not to tell anyone about this before, and even now Su Bei will not break his promise. But now I can't say nothing, after all, after learning about this matter, Meng Huai will definitely not be at ease without knowing the whole story.
Fortunately, since Su Bei was willing to take out the map, he must have thought of a solution: "I have been practicing privately with Elvis every day recently."
After hearing this, everyone understood. Elvis's identity was no secret, and everyone knew that he was the principal's personal disciple. The principal of "Alpha Supernatural High School" must have seen his shortcomings in the previous match between him and Su Bei, so he used resources to exchange for Su Bei to be a sparring partner.
Meng Huai frowned and looked at Su Bei. He always felt that something was wrong, but it seemed that Su Bei was not lying.
Su Bei was indeed not lying, he did practice with Elvis every night. However, they were not practicing fighting or supernatural powers, but games. This map was certainly not a reward for playing games with Elvis, but he did not express this in his words just now.
He didn't lie, it's just that others misunderstood his meaning, it's not his fault
Meng Huai didn't see what the problem was with Su Bei, so he didn't dwell on it. Anyway, as long as he didn't transfer schools, there wouldn't be a big problem. So he asked directly: "What do you want to do by taking out this map?"
It goes without saying that Su Bei would not give the map to everyone for nothing, and it must be profitable to give it out now.
Sure enough, Su Bei smiled very standardly and said, "I got something good and of course I want to give it to the school. I don't think the school will let me suffer a loss."
When the time comes to go to the resource space, we must act as a group. He can't go alone with this map, so he might as well take it out now and exchange it with the teacher for some benefits.
This is a high-sounding statement, but who doesn't know the meaning? Meng Huai is too lazy to argue with him: "Is one thousand points enough?"
"It's not easy for me to get this..." Su Bei looked embarrassed.
"Two thousand." Meng Huai rolled his eyes. "If it's more, you can keep the map for yourself."
"That's enough." Su Bei smiled brightly. 2,000 points, plus his original points, could be exchanged for a lot of invisibility charms. In addition to invisibility charms, he could also exchange for some other useful props. Things exchanged from the school could be taken out openly, and were much more useful than those taken from the private vault of the "Destiny" organization.
He handed the map to Meng Huai, who then gave it to Jiang Tianming. In Meng Huai's mind, Jiang Tianming was still relatively reliable: "Then this will be considered as the map given to you by the school. Half of what you get from this map must be handed in to the school, and the rest can be solved by yourselves."
Everyone has no objection to this. After all, this picture has nothing to do with them, and they earned half of it for free.
"But you have to be careful." After sending the map out, Meng Huai reminded them with great teacher ethics, "There must be more than one copy of this map. As far as I know, they had an event before you came, and the rewards were some maps. Since this map was given to you, he should also give it to others. He didn't promise you that he would only give it to you, right?"
Su Bei nodded. He naturally knew this. Skill book resource points were already very valuable. If he asked the teacher to give the map to only him, he would have to exchange resources.
There was a choice between an exclusive common resource point and a contested skill book resource point. Su Bei chose the latter.
The teachers of "Alpha Supernatural High School" would never be so shameless as to give this map to so many people, so it is likely that a few elite teams are competing with them for resources.
Compared with ordinary resource points, skill book resource points are more attractive to him. If there is competition, there will be competition. Are they afraid of competition? They are the protagonists!
After dinner, Meng Huai left to take care of his own business. Jiang Tianming and others gathered together to look at the map that Su Bei took out.
Probably to avoid revealing any information in advance, the map was very crudely drawn. In the middle was a clock tower-like symbol, and then the straight line that stretched out from the clock tower represented the path they were going to take.
There is a scale next to it, telling you the specific distances these lines represent.
That is to say, after entering the alien space, they must first find the clock tower on the map, and then follow the map to find the resource points.
"This clock tower should be the landmark building inside." Lan Subing speculated, "It should not be difficult to find."
Jiang Tianming holds a different view: "What if there is more than one bell tower on the map? Given the simplicity of this icon, we probably can't tell which bell tower is the one indicated on the map."
"Generally speaking, at most one bell tower is built in one place. If there are really several, we'll talk about it later." Si Zhaohua replied. Before entering the alien space, there was no point in discussing the map.
Su Bei thought the same, but he thought he could ask his classmates about the details of this resource space. During class the next day, he took the time to ask Elvis: "What is the map of the resource space in your school?"
