Matthew Atkinson
Oxford
The next day.
Matthew got up early, and after washing up, he rushed to the sunbathing experience center to bask in the sunlight before eating breakfast.
The clerk was a little surprised that Matthew came so early. After all, they just opened the door!
Generally speaking, there were basically no customers in the experience center in the mornings. Only in the afternoons or evenings would people come to experience sunbathing. Who would come here so early in the morning?
Matthew explained, "Oh, I haven't been feeling well lately. The doctor said I have too much dampness in my body and recommended that I get sunbathing treatment."
Actually, Matthew didn't need to explain; the clerk would receive him gladly anyway.
After all, if someone opened a business, would they chase customers away?
Moreover, the salary structure of these store clerks consisted of a baseline salary plus commissions. The more customers there were, the higher their income would be.
The reason for Matthew's explanation was that he didn't want to attract attention.
Next, led by the clerk, Matthew entered the room.
This was not his first time here, so he already had some experience. As soon as the clerk left, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and lie down in the machine.
[You absorb sunlight, Constitution +0.01, Mental +0.003, Strength +0.01, Agility +0.01...]
[You absorb sunlight, Constitution +0.01, Mental +0.003, Strength +0.01, Agility +0.01...]
[You absorb sunlight, Constitution +0.01, Mental +0.003, Strength +0.01, Agility +0.01...]
The familiar prompts finally appeared again.
Almost once per second!
Matthew couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and reveal a happy smile.
About twenty minutes later, the prompts stopped and no longer appeared.
Matthew thought about it, and his attribute panel appeared in his left eye.
.........
Race: Human
Constitution: 30 (↑10)
Mental: 17 (↑3)
Strength: 30 (↑10)
Agility: 30 (↑10)
Ability: Kryptonian Bloodline
Attribute Points: 0
.........
This was what his attributes looked like after he had sunbathed.
Just like yesterday, the three attributes of constitution, strength, and agility all increased by 10 points, while the mental attribute increased by 3 points.
Matthew was delighted.
When he emerged from the machine and felt the increased strength in his body, a look of joy spread across his face.
The feeling of becoming stronger was genuinely remarkable.
Judging from the attribute panel, his current physique and strength were three times that of a normal person.
And this was just the beginning!
A while later, Matthew left the experience center and returned to the hotel.
He first retrieved his suitcase, which he had stored in the hotel room, and then went to the University of Oxford to report.
The University of Oxford was built in a very majestic manner. The gate alone is more than 15 meters high. Above the gate, the words "University of Oxford" are written in a flamboyant style, showing its grandeur!
Going through the gate, there was a vast garden, and in the middle of the garden stood a colossal statue.
From the nearby stone tablet, Matthew learned that it was actually a statue of the first supernatural chancellor of the University of Oxford, who had died on the battlefield at the Frontline...
After reading the chancellor's life story, Matthew was filled with awe.
This was a hero's story. And the chancellor was a real Hero!
"Excuse me, are you a new student here to register?"
A voice came from the side, interrupting Matthew's thoughts. He turned around and saw a thin young man wearing glasses standing behind him. Like him, the young man also carried a suitcase.
"Yes!" Matthew responded: "Are you also a freshman?"
"Yes!" The young man smiled. "I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect you to be here earlier than me."
'I came last night!' Matthew said silently in his heart.
"My name is Elias Sharp." The young man asked again, "What's your name, mate?"
Elias Sharp looked thin and weak, but clearly, he was actually very outgoing.
"Matthew, Matthew Atkinson. Nice to meet you."
After the two introduced themselves to each other, they set off together.
They followed the main road, crossed the garden, and came to the schoolyard.
There were already quite a few people in the schoolyard at the moment, and there was a huge banner hanging with the words "Welcome New Students" written on it!
It seems that some people arrived even earlier than they did.
The two walked into the crowd, and immediately, a senior student approached them.
"Hello, are you new students?"
The senior student took the initiative to introduce herself: "I'm Liliana Marsh, a year older than you. I've just entered my sophomore year, and I'm one of the orientation staff responsible for welcoming new students this year."
This senior student had an ordinary appearance, but she possessed a fierce aura. What attracted everyone's attention the most was that she only had one arm...
Her left arm was not there…
As if noticing the gazes of the two junior students, Liliana said generously, "I wasn't born with a disability. I cut off this arm myself after being infected with corpse poison in the tenth level of the spiritual realm."
Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately showed a look of admiration.
The fact that she was able to survive by cutting off her own arm showed that this senior was definitely a person with extraordinary perseverance.
To put it bluntly, she was a ruthless person! Most people couldn't do what she did!
In addition, Liliana had passed the tenth level of the spiritual realm, which shows that the other party was quite powerful.
Thinking of this, Matthew and Elias did not dare to look down on this senior.
"Juniors, come here first to register your information."
The two nodded upon hearing this.
Elias took the lead and stepped forward, saying, "My name is Elias Sharp, and I'm from XxX City. This is my admission letter."
Upon hearing this, Liliana glanced at Elias's admission notice and uploaded his relevant information to the tablet.
Then, she looked at Matthew and said, "Junior, it's your turn."
Matthew then said, "My name is Matthew Atkinson, and I'm from London. This is my admission letter."
When Liliana heard Matthew's name, she was stunned.
"Matthew Atkinson, from London..."
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "You are that Matthew Atkinson? The one who even gave away the Flame-Flame Fruit?"
Her exclamation was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention of many people around her.
Everyone looked at Matthew, sizing him up with surprise and curiosity.
After the news spread overnight, almost every citizen in the country heard Matthew's story...
In an instant, Matthew was surrounded by onlookers.
Elias Sharp, who had been standing next to him, quietly moved a few steps away, trying to stay away from Matthew.
Matthew didn't care what Elias Sharp thought of him. He said helplessly, "Yes, I'm the biggest idiot they say on the internet, the super simp who uses the Flame-Flame Fruit to make a beautiful woman smile!"
In fact, he had anticipated facing such a situation after entering the school and had prepared himself mentally.
That was why he could speak so frankly.
After all, compared to the powerful Kryptonian Bloodline, the title of 'super simp' was nothing.
"I'm sorry, Junior Matthew."
Liliana seemed to realize her gaffe and quickly apologized: "I just saw the news about you this morning, and then I ran into you in person. I lost control of myself. It wasn't intentional..."
"Oh, that's okay." Matthew said, "Senior, please upload my information first!"
"OK."
