Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Talent: You've Gone Bald, But Haven't Gotten Stronger?

Withdraw voluntarily? Good for everyone?Su Xing sneered inwardly, probably only good for your performance as a class advisor, right?

As Su Xing's class advisor, Liu Xiaodong naturally must be responsible for the students' assessment standards and post-graduation employment rates.

At the moment, Su Xing was far from meeting the Gold tier's criteria, and it seemed that Liu Xiaodong harbored intentions of kicking Su Xing out of school.

Of course, being expelled sounded terrible.

But if a student voluntarily withdrew due to special circumstances, that was a different story!

Would Su Xing comply with his wishes? Of course not!

Su Xing shook his head and said,

"Teacher Liu, I have no thoughts of withdrawing. After all, the school's environment is quite beneficial for me!"

Liu Xiaodong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he continued,

"Su Xing, I know things are not easy for you right now. As long as you're willing to withdraw voluntarily, I am prepared to offer you compensation on behalf of the school: five hundred thousand Great Xia Coins. What do you think?"

"In addition, I'm willing to help you find a job! There's a vacancy for a security guard in the teachers' residential area, and with your strength, you could give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xing's face also darkened.

A measly five hundred thousand to get rid of him?

And kindly offering to help him find a job as a security guard? That was clearly an insult to him!

Su Xing stared intently at Liu Xiaodong in front of him, recalling how three years ago, he had begged abjectly for Su Xing to become his student.

Even then, this man had promised an annual scholarship of three million.

Of course, he hadn't paid a single cent to date.

Su Xing took a deep breath and said with certainty,

"Teacher Liu, I don't have any plans to drop out. I find the atmosphere at Kyoto Vocational quite good, suitable for cultivation!"

Hearing Su Xing's words, Teacher Liu stopped putting on an act and sneered,

"Su Xing! Have you still not recognized the situation? You are no longer the genius you were three years ago!"

"Here in our school, you're at the bottom, a total drag!"

"Kyoto Vocational is a prestigious school with hundreds of years of history. Are we supposed to let someone like you, a parasite, tarnish our school's reputation? Does your conscience allow that?"

Liu Xiaodong slammed the desk, making it clang loudly, and then mocked,

"If you withdraw voluntarily now, you can save some face. Otherwise, being expelled will get you laughed at by the entire school!"

After hearing Liu Xiaodong's words, Su Xing was even more disdainful.

Kyoto Vocational is the top educational institution in the country and wouldn't care about whether he graduated or not; even if he didn't graduate, it wouldn't necessarily tarnish the school's reputation.

And Liu Xiaodong, at the end of the day, was only interested in making his own performance evaluations look better.

Thus, Su Xing paid him no mind, saying indifferently,

"Is there anything else, Teacher Liu? If not, I'll be going!"

Without giving him any face, Su Xing turned around and left.

Liu Xiaodong was left fuming, hopping mad in his office.

Su Xing had simulated the future and knew that Kyoto Vocational had no intention of forcing him out right now.

Even if he were to withdraw, that was a matter for five years later.

In the meantime, he naturally chose to stay in the school.

After all, the outside world was very dangerous, but Kyoto Vocational was filled with masters, making it a safer place for Su Xing.

Moreover, the resources provided by the school could help him quickly acquire the energy needed for his simulations.

After leaving the office, Su Xing spent all his savings, including the five million Great Xia Coins Fatty Yu had lent him.

With that money, Su Xing bought nearly four thousand pieces of white-grade equipment.

He then converted all those equipments into energy.

As a result, Su Xing's energy reached an astonishing 22,040 points!

A whole twenty thousand points of energy was definitely a huge sum for Su Xing.

In the following week, Su Xing continued training others in dungeon leveling, as usual.

Occasionally, he would check on his junior, Wang Qingxuan.

Finally, the day when the simulator usage refreshed came.

Su Xing, in his dorm room, chose to simulate without any hesitation.

"Whether I can set foot on the path of cultivation depends on this time!"

"Begin simulation!"

[500 energy points consumed, 21,540 energy points remaining, no remaining simulation attempts.]

[Simulation starts!]

[Drawing a White Talent costs 100 energy points, drawing a Green Talent costs 1,000 energy points, proceed with the draw?]

"Draw a White Talent!"

Although Su Xing now had enough energy to draw a Green Talent, he only needed a White Talent this time because his goal was to bring out Spirit Stones.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the White Talent: You're going bald, but not getting stronger.]

[You're going bald, but not getting stronger]: White Talent, your hair falls out earlier than your peers, making you more prone to hair loss, but your bald appearance resembles a high monk from a temple, making it easier for you to gain the trust and favor of others.]

Su Xing: ???

What kind of ridiculous Talent is this!

Su Xing glanced at his hair, relieved that it was still thick.

[You run your hands through your hair, and a dozen strands come out.]

[Sensing something amiss, you hastily bought Regaine shampoo and Minoxidil from a certain treasure site, hoping it could cure your hair loss.]

[As usual, you continued to guide newcomers through leveling, and every session was quite profitable.]

[Half a year passed, your hair grew thinner, but your wallet got fatter.]

[The thinning hair affected your looks, and you missed many opportunities to interact deeply with new female students.]

[But Wang Qingxuan didn't mind at all and remained enthusiastic towards you.]

[Another half a year went by, your hair grew increasingly scarce, and you decided to shave it all off, going completely bald.]

[For some reason, being bald made you prefer to crush monsters in the dungeons with your fists, and since your physique was strong, you often killed the monsters with a single strike.]

[Your approachable appearance led more newcomers in school to seek you out for training services, and you amassed a fortune of thirty million in just one year.]

[You had a bit of a name for yourself in Kyoto Polytechnic, known colloquially as: One Punch Man.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you and told you about the mysterious organization.]

Su Xing unconsciously touched his hair as he read this, deep in thought.

To be honest, he had already acquired the first half of the Changchun Technique and wasn't very keen on getting further involved with that organization.

But the problem was, he only had the first half of the Changchun Technique; Su Xing had to pave the way for the future.

And the Changchun Technique originated from that mysterious organization; perhaps they held the second half!

Su Xing took a deep breath and continued with the simulation.

[You feel that Wang Qingxuan joining the mysterious organization might be more beneficial to you, so you stick with the plan and continue to persuade her not to join.]

[The next morning, you are the only one left on the hotel bed, and Wang Qingxuan has dropped out again.]

[You know that Wang Qingxuan has joined the organization again, so you aren't too worried.]

Su Xing frowned slightly as he read this, an idea gradually forming.

"Could it be that my thoughts in reality can instantly reflect in the simulator?"
