Chapter 171

"One of them must be useful to one of the five of you," Teacher John replied quickly. "The other is about elements. You can choose which element you want. As for the quality, it all depends on what we have in our warehouse."

What skill books they can get from the Knowledge Nightmare is not decided by them, not even by the Knowledge Nightmare itself. Therefore, except for extremely rare skill books, the rest are given away as they are available.

These are enough. After hearing his words, everyone was overjoyed. Although the quality of the skills cannot be guaranteed, the attributes can be guaranteed!

First of all, the first skill book promised was very impressive. You have to know that none of the five people present had simple superpowers. There was no weapon type, no element type, and it could be said that all of them were special types. It was not easy to find a skill book for them to use. Even Si Zhaohua only used one skill book.

The second promise allows one to choose the element, which is also good. They have already received a skill book for the fire element, and now they want one for the earth element. Wu Mingbai and Qi Huang can buy one each. If the skill is useful, they should not be stingy.

Wu Mingbai had made a lot of money during this period, and with the sponsorship of Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing, he had more than enough money to buy a skill book. In addition, his ability had been greatly improved in the last incident, so even if it was just an ordinary skill, it would definitely shine in his hands.

The five people had no objection and were about to put the book back when Maria suddenly thought of a question: "Hey, how did you get into my barrier?"

When Teacher John received the skill book just now, she remembered this problem. They came here to find the skill book. In order to prevent others from coming in, Maria deliberately set up a barrier.

So how did Jiang Tianming and his team get in so quickly?

As soon as this was said, the other members of Team A also realized this problem. And they also realized another problem, that is, the purpose of their coming here must also be for those skill books.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became a little tense, but the captain of Team A was the first to take a step back: "Everyone should go their own way and not interfere with each other. Although you saved us, I'm sorry, we can't give up this skill book. However, all our gains except the skill book can be given to you in the future."

Unlike other resources, skill books are hard to come by, so if possible, they want to get them no matter what.

"Okay, then let's go look for it on our own and don't disturb each other." The five people who had already found the skill book naturally had no objection. After agreeing to the other party's request, they quickly left the manor under the pretext of going downstairs to look for it.

"Let's have dinner first." After finding a house to stay temporarily, Jiang Tianming guessed that everyone must be very hungry, so he took out the nightmare beast meat that had not been eaten before and prepared dinner.

While he was cooking, Si Zhaohua summarized his gains: "We got five skill books this time, three from the manor and two from the teacher. In addition, our mental strength increased significantly. Plus the Cuicui fruit and rubber energy alloy we got at the beginning, we got so much on the first day, which is considered a great harvest."

That's true, everyone is very satisfied. These things are not so easy to get outside, and they have earned a lot of money on the first day. No wonder the students of "Alpha Superpower High School" are so angry at these people who are taking advantage of them. With such rich resource points, how can they not worry about others coming to snatch them?

"I haven't encountered many nightmare beasts here during the day, which feels a bit strange." After they finished talking, Jiang Tianming expressed his doubts. It is true that this is a resource-rich space that has been mastered, but since it was created to train students, nightmare beasts should be an indispensable existence.

Si Zhaohua also thought so: "Let's arrange a vigil. Who wants to be the first one?"

"Me, me, me." Ai Baozhu raised her hand immediately, "I'll be the first one. If I get up in the middle, I won't be able to sleep later."

No one had any objection. This kind of thing was originally a matter of mutual accommodation. The final order was Ai Baozhu, Su Bei, Si Zhaohua, Jiang Tianming, and Lan Subing. After arranging the order of the night watch and finishing dinner, everyone said good night to each other and fell asleep.

Soon the first person's time was up, and Ai Baozhu woke up Su Bei. When Su Bei woke up, he was really shocked. The five of them were in a pink protective shield, surrounded by dark bat-like nightmare beasts.

Those nightmare beasts were densely packed on the protective shield. If someone with trypophobia saw them, they would probably faint.

He was a light sleeper to begin with, and seeing this scene woke him up completely.

Noticing his look, Ai Baozhu shrugged helplessly: "It seems that most of the nightmare beasts in this alien space only come out at night. Not long after you fell asleep just now, a bat nightmare beast flew in. There is a hole in our house, and the wall can't block the nightmare beasts. After I killed a few, I found that more and more nightmare beasts came, so I opened the [Gorgeous Realm]."

Su Bei didn't care much about that. He was concerned about another question: "Can the [Gorgeous Realm] still be opened after you fall asleep?"

"No." A Baozhu smiled apologetically, "But you can't bear to see my lovely little girl lose her good sleep, right?"

No, he was very reluctant. Su Bei gave a fake smile, but didn't say anything else. He stood up and prepared to change shifts. The order of the night watch was discussed before. If he couldn't complete his job, it would be his incompetence.

Since he was about to stand up, Ai Baozhu understood his intention: "Can you?"

"I can't. Are you still sleeping?" Su Bei asked back. If she answered that she was not going to sleep, he would immediately say "No".

"Sleep." Ai Baozhu answered firmly. Nothing could disturb her beauty sleep.

Hearing this, Su Bei glanced at her unhappily and threw a blanket from the storage space at her: "Go to sleep."

Seeing that Su Bei was clearly confident, Ai Baozhu became a little curious. If there was no support from the [Gorgeous Realm], she couldn't think of any way to quickly kill so many nightmare beasts and ensure that the others would not be disturbed. But since Su Bei was confident that he could do it, she had no reason not to believe it.

The time was beyond the normal sleeping time for A Baozhu, and she was already very sleepy. However, driven by curiosity, she did not fall asleep immediately, but forced herself to stay awake: "My [Gorgeous Domain] is going to be withdrawn."

"Let's retreat." Su Bei was ready.

Since he figured out how to affect multiple people, he has gained the ability to attack in groups. Although this ability is usually difficult to use, it can be used in this situation.

The fate pointers of these bat nightmare beasts are almost identical. There were a few that were very different just now, but he adjusted them all to be the same. Now the pointers of the nightmare beasts are all in the same direction.

At the moment when [Gorgeous Domain] was removed, Su Bei adjusted a large pointer of a nightmare beast and moved the pointer to the lower half of the compass.

The next second, there was a sudden thunder in the sky. The sky was full of lightning, and the room was instantly bright as if it were daytime.

The moment they came into contact with the light, all the bat nightmare beasts let out a terrible scream, and then all turned into black smoke and disappeared.

No wonder they don't come out during the day, it turns out they are afraid of light.

Ai Baozhu, who was awake, was stunned. Her eyes widened as she felt like she was awakened by the shock. "Isn't your ability a bit outrageous? Was it you who made the thunder just now?"

"I guess so." Su Bei nodded. The thunder came down because he adjusted the fate of the nightmare beast to death. It could be said that he had invited it in disguise.

The lightning just now probably destroyed most of the bat beasts in the entire alien space, and we should be able to have some peace and quiet from now on. Not bad, this ability is well used.

The second after Su Bei had this thought, a strong feeling of fatigue surged into his heart. Then came an uncontrollable feeling of physical and mental exhaustion. Although his mental and physical strength had not been consumed, he was just exhausted.

Su Bei's face turned pale, he groaned, his eyes full of confusion.

What's going on? Why is he suddenly like this?

If he hadn't been attacked, then his change at this moment must have been related to the use of his supernatural power just now. But what Su Bei didn't understand was that, in theory, his use of supernatural power would only consume his mental power. The way he used it just now showed that it didn't even consume much mental power. How could he suddenly suffer such a strong backlash?

Suddenly, Su Bei thought of the cause and effect Feng Lan mentioned before. He changed the fate of so many nightmare beasts at once, and it was not a small prank like before, but to kill them.

At the same time, the students who were supposed to be fighting these nightmare beasts were able to rest peacefully for a night because of his actions. It would be reasonable if he was responsible for such a big change.

However, this discovery still surprised Su Bei. Although Feng Lan had told him about this before, he didn't take it seriously because he had never been back. [Destiny] and [prophecy] are different.

But now it seems that the two are still similar. When he really changes a lot of fate, he will also suffer backlash. But at present, it seems that he can still accept the consequences of the backlash, which makes Su Bei feel a little relieved.

But he also knew that the reason why the current consequences were acceptable was because he had not made much change. Those bat nightmare beasts were not difficult to kill, and even if he did not use that method, spent more time, or called others, he could still easily solve the problem.

The same thing happened to other students. At most, one or two of them would be eliminated, which was no big deal.

But if he were to use the power of destiny on a large scale to destroy nightmare beasts in a real battle, he would probably suffer a terrible backlash.

"No, I'm so sleepy. I really need to sleep." Despite the abnormal vibration, Ai Baozhu couldn't hold on any longer. She closed her eyes drowsily, but didn't forget to raise her thumbs, and finally added, "Awesome!"

Su Bei laughed, and sat against the wall with legs bent, half-closing his eyes to recover his spirit, occasionally ejecting a gear to kill the bat nightmare beast that came in from the hole.

Because the previous thunder destroyed many nightmare beasts, their number is not as large as before and they can be easily destroyed.

When the time came, Su Bei took over the shift with the next person, Si Zhaohua. After explaining the situation, he closed his eyes.

Although he was physically exhausted, he was not sleepy. Unable to fall asleep for a while, Su Bei thought about what the Black Flash organization was going to do with him today. He had not thought about it before, but now that he had recalled it, he found something very interesting: Why did they remove the surveillance camera on the clock tower?

What is the clock tower used for? Anyone with a map knows that every time they use a new map, they need to go back to the starting point of the clock tower and start finding the way all over again.

It is undoubtedly a wise idea to do something in the clock tower, because there are often a large number of students gathered here. If the surveillance here is removed, it will be a one-time solution to do anything here, and it will be easy to attack the students in the long sequence.

But these students definitely do not include the five from northern Jiangsu.

Only a very few people knew that they had the map before the event started. There was no problem with the five of them, there was no problem with Meng Huai, and there was a high probability that there was no problem with the teacher who gave him the map. After all, he didn't have much of a plot and had not appeared in the previous comic updates.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Black Flash organization to know in advance that they have obtained the map and try to trap them in the clock tower. Moreover, even if they knew, they would only know that they have obtained one map, which means that they will only go to the clock tower once, and that must be at the beginning of the activity.

There was one at the end of the event, but they started arranging the tasks so early, aren't they afraid of being discovered in advance? Su Bei guessed that the actual time of their action might not be a fixed time, but when the target person enters the clock tower, that's when they'll start to act.

The Black Flash organization contacted Su Bei in the afternoon, and Su Bei and his team might not return to the clock tower in the middle of the day. Therefore, the Black Flash curse wanted to cause trouble in the clock tower not against Su Bei and his group of exchange students, but against the students of Alpha Supernatural High School!

Realizing this, Su Bei frowned.

There are three schools for supernatural powers in their country. If they want to cause trouble, why do they have to come abroad? From the mission they entrusted to me, it can be seen that the "Black Flash" organization does not have a deep grasp of the "Alpha Supernatural High School" and is far from having the same strength as it does abroad.

The reason why they came all the way here to cause trouble can only be that there is something special about these first-year students of "Alpha Superpower High School" that particularly attracts them.

But most of them are ordinary psychics, no different from those in the country. Excluding the exchange students from the "Endless Psychics Academy"... Su Bei could only think of one possibility, that they wanted to attack Elvis.

No, it's not worth all the fuss just for Elvis, maybe Ian and the others as well.

When they were together before, Su Bei discovered something in common between the two of them. They both had the ability to make people immortal. Maybe there were more than just the two of them in the entire "Alpha Superpower High School" who had this ability. Who knows what kind of talented people there were in Jiang Tianming's class.

He had only been there for a short time, and because he had accumulated too much prestige before, others did not dare to approach him, and naturally there was no chance of them getting to know each other.

As far as Su Bei knew, there were three people in Elvis' team, one of whom was Ian, and the other was a girl. The girl was from the control department, and she looked as pretty as a doll. She had long wavy golden hair hanging down her head, red lips, white teeth, and a pair of dark red pupils that gave people a cold and seductive feeling.

It was just that she didn't like to talk much and had a cold look. Other classmates seemed to be particularly wary of her. In Su Bei's impression, she always acted alone, so Su Bei didn't know her at all.

But now that I think about it, this girl is probably not simple. It is amazing that Elvis is willing to team up with her, even if it is due to the number of people limit. And this girl happens to be a member of the control department class where Jiang Tianming is. Su Bei can't help but wonder if she also has the ability to prolong life.

Let's ask Jiang Tianming tomorrow. If it's true, then everything will be clear. Thinking of this, Su Bei gradually couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, they woke up at eight in the morning. They went to bed early yesterday, so everyone was almost awake at this time. After a simple breakfast, Jiang Tianming took out the remaining two maps and said, "I don't know what resource points they are on either map. Just go to any map and see if the items are still there."

Although it is possible that someone else went to this resource point yesterday, that is only a possibility. There is also a 50% chance that no one went there, or that they did not find the resource even if they went there.

After all, from the fact that the team that followed them yesterday was able to produce three maps at once, it can be seen that these teams probably have several maps each. They also have to make choices, and when making choices, they may bump into other people's positions and then have conflicts, wasting most of the day like them.

Therefore, it is not the case that every resource point has been collected now, otherwise why would the school give three days for them?

"Wait." Su Bei didn't want to waste time, so he adjusted Lan Subing's luck, who was already very good, to the best. "Lan Subing, you choose which map to use."

As the protagonists, one of the two maps must be a place where no one has been or where there are still resources, so just choose the right one. If you choose the wrong one, it's no big deal, but you will have to walk a little further.

Knowing his abilities, Lan Subing immediately chose a map according to her intuition, and the five of them headed back towards the clock tower.

On the way, Su Bei recalled his thoughts before going to bed yesterday and asked Jiang Tianming: "Do you know the girl in your class who teamed up with Elvis?"

"Yes." Jiang Tianming did not expect Su Bei to suddenly ask about her. He nodded in surprise and then asked, "What's wrong?"

There was no reason to lie, so Su Bei asked directly: "I'm a little curious, what is her special ability?"

Jiang Tianming was also unambiguous: "Her name is Tiffany. She has awakened the blood power passed down from her family. The power is the [blood race], just like the vampires in literary works. The function of the power is similar. Her own physical qualities are particularly strong, and she can fly. After possessing someone for the first time, she can make the other person her own subordinate. There are two ways of possessing for the first time: temporary possession and permanent possession. She used the former, but... you know."

Hearing this, everyone showed an understanding expression. Just like Jiang Tianming's superpower, the innocent man is guilty of possessing the treasure. Some superpowers are naturally jealous of others. Even if the owner has never used it to do bad things, everyone will inevitably think of how terrible the killing power will be if this superpower is used to do bad things. Therefore, they will subconsciously resist and reject this superpower.

Jiang Tianming could empathize with Tiffany because his own abilities were of the same type. And because of his attitude of not shying away from her, even though she had only been in class for a few weeks, he had a better relationship with Tiffany than any other student in the class.

Otherwise, when Su Bei asked him, he wouldn't be able to explain it so clearly.

Vampires, immortality, that's a match, right? Su Bei really had to smile bitterly. This immortal trio, don't they think they stand out when they get together?

There is no need to think about it now, the goal of the "Black Flash" organization is clear at a glance. And the protagonists will definitely not escape this mess, and you don't need to think about it to know that the author will definitely let them get involved.

"Why do you suddenly ask this question?" Jiang Tianming asked curiously. As far as he knew, Su Bei and Tiffany had no intersection, and he was not such a curious person.

If he was really curious about the other person's identity, he could have asked Elvis and Ian at the time. These two people had a good relationship with him. Why ask himself now?

"I found some interesting things." Su Bei didn't want to say more. Although he was thinking about something, it didn't show on his face. It was just a perfunctory answer.

Hearing that he didn't want to talk more, Jiang Tianming didn't ask any more questions. But he always had a bad feeling in his heart, that the person Su Bei inexplicably mentioned didn't seem to have had any good things happen to him.

Everyone came to the clock tower again, and this time they could no longer disguise themselves like last time. News in the alien space spread quickly, and with the spread of the tracking team, most students knew that they had a map, and more than one.

As soon as they saw them, everyone was staring at them. The exchange students were strong, but they were in numbers. People didn't believe that they could not defeat just five people with their concerted efforts.

However, who should take the lead was a big problem. Although they felt justified in their hearts, it was not honorable to snatch the map from others, especially from students from other schools. The first person to take the lead would definitely be criticized, so for a while, no one acted rashly.

"Let's go inside the tower first. Standing high up, we can see which of the two roads has been used by someone." Su Bei suddenly spoke up. He had to go inside the tower to see if the surveillance stickers were still there. If they were, it would be fine. If not, he would have to be careful now.

Everyone has no objection. If we leave now, there will probably be a lot of people following us. It’s better to wait for a while and see what happens.

Seeing that they entered the clock tower instead of following the map, the people outside breathed a sigh of relief and started to discuss what to do next.

When he reached the top floor, Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the stickers were still there. Although he knew that the Black Flash organization's plan would definitely succeed, he wanted to delay it for a while so that he could find a way to escape safely.

Su Bei tried his best to stay away from dangerous things like this. He didn't have the aura of a protagonist. What if he died accidentally?
