Chapter 167: Chapter 145: In the Spotlight



"Have the other two not arrived yet?" Xiang Beifei inquired.

"They have arrived. They went to the Academic Affairs Office—they—" Li Zimu hesitated for a moment then said, "They went to give feedback on the dormitory allocation issue."

"Dormitory allocation?"

"Anyway, when they come back, you'll find out, so let's be honest, they don't want to share a dormitory with you," Li Zimu said.

Xiang Beifei simply nodded, not particularly surprised. For high-ranking Awakeners, sharing a dormitory with an N-level was quite embarrassing.

These two were quite sincere; they had directly gone to the Academic Affairs Office to report.

"What about you?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"I don't mind," Li Zimu smiled and said, "There's an old saying, 'Judging a horse misses its thinness, judging a scholar misses his poverty, similarly, judging a friend misses their syste. Treating people based on their system is unwise.'

It was rare for an SR-level Awakener to not be arrogant or dismissive, and still maintain polite mannerisms. Although his speech was old-fashioned, it made quite sense.

Reading more is indeed useful.

Xiang Beifei smiled, organizing his desk a bit.

However, Li Zimu, still curious, asked, "There are various rumors about you outside, did you really kill twenty Triangular Thunder Kraits alone in the outside desolate realm just by yourself?"

"How did it even turn into twenty?" Xiang Beifei said, feeling rather troubled.

The rumors were indeed getting more absurd.

"Is it not so?" Li Zimu asked.

"Just two Triangular Thunder Kraits, don't trust the internet rumors," Xiang Beifei said.

[Yuchi Shen looked at you for five seconds, attention value +5]

[Meng Yuekai looked at you for five seconds, attention value +5]

...

This [SR-level Spotlight System] computes in five-second intervals. If the gaze shifts away and then returns, it must be counted anew, but it still generates attention value!

This fellow not becoming a mega star is truly a waste of this system!

Although limited to within a hundred meters, and it seems a person can only give a maximum of fifteen attention points per day, if he were to become a singer and hold concerts, everyone would stare at him, undoubtedly strengthening him.

As long as he becomes the focus of the crowd, he could become extremely powerful.

This ability, apart from being looked at, has no other special traits; his combat power needs to be purchased from a marketplace and also needs time for cultivation. One ability he is currently cultivating is Vision Pressure, which is the pressure exerted by a gaze.

If he looks at a wall, he will convert attention value into immense pressure, and shatter that wall!

It is literally "seeing through" that wall!

The legendary laser eyes fall under the category of Vision Pressure, only his Vision Pressure is silent and colorless, without the flashy red lasers.

When laser eyes emit a red shockwave, others can react, but his Vision Pressure, being invisible and colorless, hits the target as soon as it is seen, making it hard to dodge!

Of course, what he can pierce depends on the level of cultivation. If his own cultivation isn't enough to pierce a target, he can use attention value to substitute.

For instance, his current cultivation is not enough to pierce a person's skin with Vision Pressure alone, but by expending fifty thousand attention value, he can achieve it. To pierce a wall, it costs two hundred thousand attention value!

When Long Guocheng uses Vision Pressure, it requires a huge consumption of attention value, and he currently has [564605] attention value. Depending on the intensity of the gaze pressure, the expenditure of attention value varies!

Using system values to execute Vision Pressure often leads to losses, because if the target is a person, one must also consider the other's level and defenses; sometimes, fifty thousand is far from sufficient.
