Chapter 46: Passive Skills

“Anyone who understands knows the value and strength of a combatant from a Battle Royale Copy,” another admissions teacher, Zhang Da, couldn’t help but boast before Lu Dezong could even start.

“He fought alone the entire time, without needing to team up with anyone, and held the top spot on the kill list from the very first day, personally eliminating over ten thousand examinees. In the end, he even secured the top boss damage output. I haven’t seen such a promising talent in many years!”

“Do you know what his final college entrance examination score was?” Zhang Da glanced at Lu Dezong with a smug expression, “53,178 points! You’ve never seen such a high college entrance examination score, have you?!”

“Oh,” Lu Dezong said with an expression that conveyed, “Is that all?”

Zhang Da: ?

“Old Lu, you old rascal, have you gotten too big for your britches? You don’t even care about an examinee with 53,178 points. Come on, tell me, what was your promising talent’s college entrance examination score?” Zhang Da said, unconvinced.

Lu Dezong picked up his teacup, blew on the floating tea leaves, and after taking a sip, slowly said, “Not much, just 631,244,142 points.”

“How much?” Zhang Da suspected his ears were malfunctioning, wondering if he had mistaken a communication number or something for an examinee’s score.

“631,244,142 points,” Lu Dezong repeated triumphantly.

“How is that possible?!” Although he knew Lu Dezong wouldn’t play a trick on him with something like this, especially since all the scores from the college entrance examination game copies would be publicly released to the world soon, this score was simply too outrageous. Zhang Da genuinely found it hard to believe.

“You went to the Magic Farm Game Copy, right? I remember the highest score for that game copy in previous years was only a little over 30,000. How did a score of over 600 million suddenly appear this time? What exactly did that examinee you’re talking about do?”

Lu Dezong slowly took another sip of tea, accidentally swallowing some tea leaves. To maintain his cool demeanor, he stubbornly didn’t spit them out, but chewed and swallowed them.

“Didn’t do much, just eliminated over 300,000 examinees alone, took all the farms in the copy for herself, and finally, single-handedly defeated the boss within three hours, and by the way, completed a small hidden achievement,” Lu Dezong said, feigning indifference.

Zhang Da: ???

“Holy cow, that fierce???” In his shock, Zhang Da couldn’t help but blurt out a curse.

No wonder she could get over 600 million points; she single-handedly took all the points in the entire copy.

Compared to the promising talent Lu Dezong recruited, his own promising talent indeed seemed quite inferior.

“Old Lu, you’ve done a great service this time. This alone probably completed ten years’ worth of recruitment KPIs,” Zhang Da said with an envious expression.

With that score, she was undoubtedly the national college entrance examination top scorer, and she achieved it with an overwhelming advantage, setting a new historical high score. She was truly an unparalleled genius.

No wonder Old Lu was so happy.

Which teacher wouldn’t be curious about such an outstanding student?

“What’s the name of this promising talent you recruited?”

“Wen Xiangjie. When the total college entrance examination results are out, everyone will know her name!”

Wen Xiangjie walked around her small villa.

The villa was divided into two floors. The second floor was the living area, with bedrooms, bathrooms, walk-in closets, and other amenities. Besides the living room and kitchen, the first floor also had an extra-large training room equipped with various state-of-the-art testing instruments, allowing students residing there to test their combat power and skills in real-time.

If students needed anything, they could order it through the Butler Robot, and it would be delivered within minutes. All daily necessities were free of charge, which was a benefit for students of First Military Academy.

Wen Xiangjie ordered some clothes in her size, as well as fruits, vegetables, and daily necessities like facial cleanser, and set the Butler Robot to receive them.

After shopping, Wen Xiangjie went to the training room on the first floor. She was very interested in her newly acquired skill and wanted to test it out.

She brought the Elf Queen into the training room. While the Elf Queen curiously flapped her little wings and flew around, touching and looking at various testing instruments, Wen Xiangjie first took out the Thorn Wealth Rhythm from her bracelet.

Wen Xiangjie took off her jacket and placed the Thorn Wealth Rhythm over her heart. A few seconds later, the Thorn Wealth Rhythm seemed to come alive, actively pressing its entire body against Wen Xiangjie’s body, and then slowly merged into Wen Xiangjie’s body.

The integration of the Thorn Wealth Rhythm did not cause Wen Xiangjie any discomfort. With the Thorn Wealth Rhythm, Wen Xiangjie now had a second life starting from this moment.

After merging the Thorn Wealth Rhythm, Wen Xiangjie went to the combat zone.

Upon reaching Level 10, Wen Xiangjie gained her first skill slot. She used her acquired skill points to activate the passive skill Thorns of Wealth Rhythm. To gain new skills, Wen Xiangjie would need to level up to Level 20 to unlock the second skill slot.

Wen Xiangjie set the combat simulation robot’s data to a Level 10 warrior, then initiated combat training.

As the battle began, the simulation robot, holding a materialized light sword, attacked Wen Xiangjie.

“Lingling, shield!” Wen Xiangjie shouted.

A small magic staff appeared in the Elf Queen’s hand. She waved it, and a light green transparent protective shield enveloped Wen Xiangjie.

The simulation robot’s attack landed on the protective shield. Wen Xiangjie currently had no offensive skills, but she had completed countless missions in different worlds, making her proficient in swordplay, gunplay, and boxing. She directly used her staff as a spear and heavily thrust it towards the simulation robot’s weak point.

When Wen Xiangjie’s staff landed on the simulation robot, the information bar above the combat arena showed that the simulation robot’s health bar dropped by 10 points and its mana bar also dropped by 10 points. Although Wen Xiangjie’s health and mana bars above her head were still full, the information in parentheses indicated that Wen Xiangjie’s mana and health bars both increased by 100 points.

The effect of this passive skill could simply be described as defying the heavens!

Even if Wen Xiangjie’s opponent took a slap from her, they would lose health and mana, while Wen Xiangjie would receive a hundredfold recovery.

To further test the effect of this passive skill, Wen Xiangjie simultaneously activated three combat simulation robots.

Attacking all three simulation robots at once, all three robots’ health and mana bars dropped by 10 points, while Wen Xiangjie’s health and mana bars instantly increased by 300 points.

This meant that the passive skill Thorns of Wealth Rhythm could be triggered simultaneously on different targets. The already heaven-defying skill effect made Wen Xiangjie even more inhuman.

With the passive skill Thorns of Wealth Rhythm, those who tried to gang up on Wen Xiangjie and engage in group battles were in luck; the more people there were, the stronger Wen Xiangjie’s recovery became. She was truly a humanoid boss.
