"Are you sure? The benefits are pretty good."
Tang Ruobing asked suspiciously.
"I can't repay kindness with ingratitude, can I?"
Ye Mingqiu spread his hands and said.
"It's not that bad. There are only 27 people in the senior year Support System, only 8 successfully awakened their talents, and only 3 of those talents have practical use. You're one of them, of course, also the only one whose talent became almost useless after getting skills." Tang Ruobing said.
"Actually... it's not completely useless."
Ye Mingqiu awkwardly defended himself.
Tang Ruobing smiled politely and continued, "Currently, there's only one person in our school's senior year Support System who successfully became a Spiritualist, and she has long been successfully recruited by another college prep team."
"Normally, I could choose one of the two remaining people, but due to some special reasons, the director didn't give me that opportunity and directly appointed you to me... hmph! It must be that guy deliberately messing with me!"
"That guy is really bad!" Ye Mingqiu didn't know who it was but echoed along.
Tang Ruobing rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Actually, what the profession teacher just said wasn't too wrong, you do have a significant advantage."
"I really have potential? Can I really pass the Spirit Realm trial in the shortest time?"
Ye Mingqiu was extremely surprised. He had thought the teacher was lying just to mess with her, but it turned out there was a reason behind it.
"Yeah, you really can."
"Can you explain why?"
"Your Basic Attributes are low, so you're very malleable, and your talent has extra boosts to Power and Agility, which allows more attributes to be allocated to the Support's most needed Spirit. Once your Spirit reaches 10 points, you might get Hero Level professions that ordinary Supports can't get. In terms of malleability, you indeed have significant potential."
"However!"
Tang Ruobing changed her tone, staring intently at Ye Mingqiu, continuing, "To fully unleash your current potential and reach the theoretical maximum, you must spend a massive amount of resources to stack Mental Attributes, while also raising the levels of all practical specialties as high as possible, which is quite costly."
"What if I raise it on a budget?"
Ye Mingqiu asked.
Tang Ruobing was silent for a moment, looking at Ye Mingqiu, who only had a Total Attributes of 12 in his senior year, sighed, and said helplessly, "There are some things I don't want to spell out, but you need to have some awareness in your heart."
With only a Total Attributes of 12 in senior year, whether he can naturally grow to the college exam's prerequisite of 20 Total Attributes for the Spirit Realm trial is a problem, let alone learning skills and improving strength.
Support subsidies are many, and all sorts of benefits add up to twenty or thirty thousand a month. With so many resources, if even the attributes can't be improved, it can only be said the talent is extremely poor.
"Can you reimburse it for me?"
"No, you buy the stuff yourself. At most, I can help you plan."
"Alright then."
Ye Mingqiu took out his Communication Device and said, "Let's exchange contact information then. Should I scan you or you scan me?"
"Scan me."
Tang Ruobing displayed her QR code.
"Ding!"
Scan successful.
But the moment it succeeded, Ye Mingqiu's expression froze, because the avatar and signature in the Communication Device were very familiar, and the content below was not a request to add to the address book, but sending a message and a voice video call.
He trembled as he clicked to open the messages, only to see yesterday's chat record.
Ye Mingqiu: (poke)
Broken Ice Sugar: Jiang Jiang!
Broken Ice Sugar: ٩(๑•̀ω•́๑)۶
Broken Ice Sugar: Why do you suddenly have time to find me today, senior?
Ye Mingqiu: I just saw a cat video, and suddenly remembered you said before that you wanted to raise a Night Nether Cat (share link).
Broken Ice Sugar: Aaaa!
Broken Ice Sugar: So cute!!
Broken Ice Sugar: (♡⌂♡)
Broken Ice Sugar: This kitty's paws look like little clouds! ˃ʍ˂ But mom said I have to be in the top ten for the monthly exam before I'm allowed to have a cat qwq...
Ye Mingqiu: No problem, I'll teach you. Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory, I just skimmed a few pages and understood it all; it's too easy!
Broken Ice Sugar: Wow, senior, you're amazing!
Broken Ice Sugar: Even though you're from the Warrior System, you learn the Magic System knowledge so quickly too, are you the legendary one in a million genius? Simply amazing!
Broken Ice Sugar: Senior, do you have any extra Magic Staffs when you're on adventures in the Spirit Realm? If so, save some for me, hehe!
Ye Mingqiu: Hmm.
Ye Mingqiu: Haven't had any drops recently, bad luck.
Broken Ice Sugar: It's okay!
.....
He glanced at the chat record, then turned to look at the cold Tang Ruobing across, and then quietly clicked to exit, scanning her QR code again, but the user that came up was still "Broken Ice Sugar," exactly the same as before.
Tang Ruobing looked puzzled and asked, "Why aren't you adding me, is your internet lagging?"
"I want a moment of silence."
"Hmm?"
Tang Ruobing frowned, feeling that Ye Mingqiu's expression was quite off, especially the way he looked at her — shock, doubt, disbelief made her quite uncomfortable.
Thus, she directly snapped her fingers, using Spiritual Telekinesis to turn Ye Mingqiu's Communication Device towards her, bringing the display into her view.
The chat history in the Communication Device appeared in front of Tang Ruobing, her expression froze for a moment. She stared blankly at Ye Mingqiu, looked at the chat log, exited, and checked the user's interface to confirm the other party's identity.
!
Tang Ruobing looked at the messages she sent, her face blushing all the way to her ears, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became unbearably awkward.
She clenched her fists, her chest heaving, finally couldn't hold back, and shouted, "Are you crazy? Why pretend to be a graduated senior?"
Being told this, Ye Mingqiu also got angry. He lifted his head and stared at Tang Ruobing, yelling, "You dare accuse me? Pretending to be a freshman little sister is fun? Huh? Tricking me into studying Linear Algebra and Matrix Space is fun? Do you know how much effort I've put into studying math before? Do you?"
"Are you out of your mind? I thought you were a Mage pretending to be a Warrior, but you turned out to be a Support pretending to be a Warrior, giving me Magic System problems. Why the hell don't you just study the Magic System directly?"
"I have no money!"
"Where's the money from the Support System benefits?"
"Spent on games with you!"
"...unbelievable."
Tang Ruobing really couldn't hold it anymore. She initially thought this guy had terrible talent, couldn't raise attributes, and was bad at studying; but the fundamental reason was that this guy was studying Magic System content all the time and even spent the Support System benefit money to play games.
Insane! Insane! Simply insane!
How could there be such a defiant person!
Aaaah!
I actually called this guy 'senior' so many times, I hate it! Aaah!
