Chapter 2: Awakening Talent

The Eighth Lord Academy of Snowfield City.

The Grand Hall.

A thousand junior lord students had gathered here, undergoing the awakening of their initial talents.

The dean and chief instructors stood at the front.

No one stopped the students' noisy discussion.

After all, it was natural to get worked up and unable to resist chatting when awakening one's initial talent.

"Which of the 3 awakened talents did you pick?"

"I picked the E-rank talent 【Beastfolk Scholar】. When strengthening beastfolk, it boosts the effect by 20%."

"Not bad, very versatile. I picked D-rank 【Brute Force】, which adds 1 point of Strength."

"Awesome! Strength is a basic attribute, super useful! I picked E-rank 【Spiritual Power Beyond Ordinary】, which boosts spiritual power by 3 points. Too bad it's a sub-attribute."

"I'm E-rank 【Shuru Sect】, which adds 5 points to Swordsmanship skill."

"How are your talents all so good? All 3 of mine were trash, so I could only pick E-rank 【Goblin Scholar】. I've always hated goblins, but this time I have to pick the goblin race. Damn it."

"Goblins aren't bad either—you can win by numbers. And successfully awakening a talent is already great. Look at those gloomy faces over there—they probably failed to awaken."

Some students nearby said nothing, unable to hide their disappointment.

They had all failed to awaken.

Without an awakened talent, their territory's development speed would surely be at a disadvantage.

If you fell behind at the very first step, catching up later would be extremely difficult.

Fall behind one step, fall behind every step.

【Zhao Chi】 also said nothing.

But he wasn't disappointed—he was astonished.

Three awakened talents appeared before him, and he had not yet chosen.

But one talent had awakened on its own.

〖Talent〗 Transplanting Flowers into Jade

〖Rank〗 S+ Hidden

〖Effect〗 Can transfer certain data

A hidden talent?

Zhao Chi stared at the system in astonishment.

And it's S+ rank? Isn't the highest rank S?

This was the first time he had ever seen one.

The font this talent used in the system was also different.

Not ordinary black, but a glowing gold!

This dazzling effect… truly worthy of S+ rank.

But the description of this "Transplanting Flowers into Jade" talent was far too vague.

Only 9 characters: Can transfer certain data.

Which data? How to transfer?

He knew nothing, and there were no notes or explanations either.

Zhao Chi was completely baffled.

But he knew his luck was about to change.

He had transmigrated to this world 2 years ago.

He had only fallen asleep for no apparent reason, and then arrived at the prefecture-level city 【Snowfield City】 in this world.

He lived cautiously every day.

After all, this world was completely different from his original one.

It was like a game world.

And a game world that seemed to be a blend of xianxia, xuanhuan, and fantasy.

There were martial arts that consumed stamina, and spiritual techniques that consumed spiritual power.

Medicines could be crafted by oneself.

Weapons could be forged by oneself.

The most important subjects in school weren't language and math either.

Instead, they were forging, sewing, combat, spiritual technique basics, racial traits, characteristic knowledge, item functions, territory management… and so on.

Here, everyone had a system and could see all kinds of information.

Besides that.

There were even outfits here!

Maid outfits, nurse outfits, school uniforms, and so on.

All of them could provide extra attributes.

But as expected, this world was very dangerous.

The outside was overrun with magical beasts.

Only human cities were safe.

…Relatively safe.

Magical beasts had unstable temperaments and often attacked cities.

Once a city was breached, it would be an absolute catastrophe.

Apart from magical beasts.

There were also many races possessing high intelligence.
