Chapter 109: Super Transformation! Is Bai Ping Digging a Pit?
Having said that, Li Er flickered a few times like a virtual silhouette, then transformed into a black bracelet and automatically fastened itself onto Zhou Chu's left wrist.
Zhou Chu looked at the bracelet on his wrist and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, recalling what Li Er had just said.
Could it be that she wasn't limited to only turning into a bracelet? That she could transform into other forms?
So, Zhou Chu hurriedly asked another question: "Li Er, do you mean that you can also transform into other forms?"
A moment later, Li Er's voice appeared in Zhou Chu's mind: "Yes, Star Radiance can help me collect things I have seen. Li Er can transform into any item that has been collected."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Chu saw his wrist flash, and Li Er had actually turned into a suitcase.
Immediately after, she successively transformed into several items present in the dormitory, and finally changed back into a bracelet to return to Zhou Chu's wrist.
"Father, Li Er is a little tired, can I stop transforming now?" At this moment, Li Er's slightly weary voice came through again.
Zhou Chu was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly said: "That's fine, that's fine."
At this time, Zhou Chu saw that Li Er's special function entry had actually been updated.
【Special Function: Super Transformation—Through the observation of various items in the surrounding environment and the analysis and collection of the Star Radiance Intelligent Core, precisely simulate and transform into their forms. Each transformation consumes a certain amount of energy; excessive transformation may lead to energy depletion and falling into a short state of dormancy.】
In other words, Li Er's true form was actually a bracelet.
Although she could scan and collect items through the Star Core and transform into the desired form, it would all consume a certain amount of energy.
For Li Er, who was only at level one, frequent transformations would cause her to deplete energy faster.
Therefore, unless it was for certain special occasions, it was more cost-effective to let Li Er remain a bracelet.
Because after becoming a bracelet, Zhou Chu discovered that not only could the energy Li Er consumed be slowly recovered, but more importantly, in the bracelet form, Zhou Chu's four-dimensional attributes could also be doubled.
After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of dinner, Zhou Chu left the dormitory and, with the starry sky overhead, walked toward the Teaching Area.
The Teaching Area in Shenxia University, besides the regular Martial Arts Arena and Training Pavilion, led further back to various Copies and Secret Realms.
Except for the regular Martial Arts Arena which was open to all students all day without restriction, those Copies and Secret Realms were guarded by designated personnel on weekdays.
Only at specific times, or upon meeting specific conditions, or after obtaining corresponding credits, could students enter them for exploration and training.
These Copies contained various resources and were extremely important opportunities for students to improve their strength, but they were also accompanied by huge risks.
At this time, in the Teaching Area, there were still many senior students coming and going; most were going to the Martial Arts Arena to train, and some students would choose to go to certain Dungeon Secret Realms.
Of course, the Training Pavilion was free, but wanting to enter a Copy required credits.
Every Copy and Secret Realm required a certain amount of credits to enter.
Currently, Zhou Chu's Student Card had 880 credits.
For most Shenxia students, after struggling hard for a year, the most ordinary ones could only obtain about 1000 credits.
Yet Zhou Chu, relying on his results in the Peak Secret Realm, possessed 880 credits before even attending a single day of class.
If the senior students knew about this, they would certainly be astonished, and it would inevitably invite envy and jealousy.
After all, at Shenxia University, credits were not so easily obtained.
They often represented the results a student achieved in various assessments, tasks, and training, and were one of the important indicators for measuring a student's comprehensive strength.
Because Bai Ping had not given Zhou Chu a specific meeting place beforehand, Zhou Chu could only wander around the Teaching Area.
Just then, Bai Ping walked out from the Dungeon Area behind and waved at Zhou Chu.
Seeing this, Zhou Chu hurriedly walked over with quick steps.
"Teacher Bai, what is the matter that you are looking for me so late?" Zhou Chu asked with some confusion.
Bai Ping didn't say a word, grabbed him and entered the Dungeon Area, then said: "Follow me, I will arrange a task for you in a moment."
"A task? A Copy task?"
Zhou Chu was even more confused. While following Bai Ping's rapid pace, he couldn't help but ponder to himself.
The further inside the Dungeon Area one went, the higher the required credits for the Copies; he didn't know if his meager credits were enough.
Very quickly, Bai Ping brought Zhou Chu to a place that looked like ruins.
The entire ruin, shrouded in the night, looked eerie and mysterious, exuding an aura that made one's hair stand on end.
Zhou Chu saw a decaying signpost on the side, indicating that this was the Hidden Dungeon Area.
Looking at the broken walls and ruins before him, one could vaguely tell that this was once an ancient town or some kind of architectural complex, appearing as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
At this time, two guards stationed outside these ruins directly stopped the two of them.
"This is the Hidden Dungeon Lost Land. All non-Combat Department faculty and staff are strictly prohibited from entering. Students who want to enter the Copy must have 850 credits or more, otherwise, they are not allowed to enter!"
Seeing the two fully armed Copy guards, Zhou Chu couldn't help but sigh that the requirements for a Hidden Dungeon were indeed harsh.
Fortunately, his credits had already reached over 750, otherwise, he would have let down Teacher Bai Ping's painstaking efforts.
Clearly, Bai Ping, being from the Dormitory Management Department, was not a Combat Department faculty member. However, although he could not enter this Hidden Dungeon, he had made preparations in advance, so he secretly handed a card to Zhou Chu.
"This Student Card is one I secretly borrowed. There are exactly 751 credits inside. Take it and swipe it for this Copy."
"With your strength, you should be able to clear the Normal Difficulty by tomorrow noon."
Bai Ping had actually borrowed a Student Card from another student just to let Zhou Chu swipe into this Hidden Dungeon.
To be honest, Zhou Chu didn't even know what to say.
So this teacher really had come to give him special treatment.
But the two were merely casual acquaintances; why the other party would go to such great lengths to help him was something Zhou Chu truly couldn't understand.
Could there really be such a good thing as a free lunch falling from the sky?
And Zhou Chu also understood that what fell from the sky might not be a pie, but very likely a trap.
But for a teacher to go to such great lengths to dig a pit for him, and to take such a big risk, what exactly was he after?
However, Zhou Chu knew that if he took this card, it would be equivalent to entering the Copy under a false identity. If discovered, the trouble would be huge.
At that time, not only would he be disciplined by the school, but in serious cases, he might even be directly expelled.
Zhou Chu was no fool, and he certainly wouldn't use this card to swipe into the Copy.
If Bai Ping wanted to use this method to specifically dig a pit for him, then his brain seemed to have some problems.
After all, this kind of thing is as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head; he surely wouldn't think that he knew nothing about it.
"Teacher Bai, this... isn't very good, if we get caught, we will be punished by the school..." Zhou Chu demurred.
Bai Ping's expression was tangled and hesitant, as if he were undergoing an intense psychological struggle in his heart.
However, after glancing at Zhou Chu a few times, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Passing a Copy is a mandatory subject every year; as long as you clear it, you can obtain the corresponding academic credits!"
"Since you were able to defeat Lei Jianting, who possesses Third Turn strength, on the arena stage, I presume a normal-difficulty Copy won't be able to stump you!"
