Ye Mingqiu sat on the infirmary bed, feeling the surge of life force within him, with an urge to go out and train himself to improve his attributes.
Unlike those rich kids, ordinary students like him hardly have any means to quickly enhance their attributes. Encountering one such opportunity is a huge blessing; not using it would be a grand waste.
However, he was a Support System Spiritual Specialist, and if he messed up his basic attributes, he'd have to compensate the school with a hefty breach fee. Such is the cost of enjoying the benefits of the Support System.
Could he just enjoy the benefits of the Support System and then leave at will to switch systems? Is that possible?
Ye Mingqiu opened the panel again and looked at the plus sign on the Talent Panel, feeling conflicted. In the end, he made a brave decision.
Add points!
Use the remaining life force in his body to awaken his talent!
[Third Talent Awakening in Progress...]
In an instant, the residual life force in Ye Mingqiu's body began to pour out rapidly, transforming into a surging awakening power that integrated into his body, and the feeling of awakening a talent resurfaced instantly.
But it wasn't long before the life force within him used for the awakening was completely consumed. Next, the power within his own body was consumed, and at an exceptionally rapid rate. Fortunately, the overflowing life force had provided most of the energy for the awakening, allowing Ye Mingqiu to successfully awaken without falling into a weakened state again.
Talent: Spiritual Power - Enchantment (B)
Effect: Once activated, it consumes a small amount of spiritual energy to enchant a designated target. The more spiritual energy consumed, the stronger the enchantment effect. After activation, a tiny amount of spiritual energy can be used to enchant continuously, but if the energy supply stops, the enchantment effect will gradually fade within ten seconds.
Another B-Level talent, and it's an offensive talent that actively consumes spiritual energy, perfectly complementing the previous two talents, taking him to new heights.
Thank the mage!
Truly grateful!
Filled with joy, Ye Mingqiu didn't forget to ask the beautiful doctor in the infirmary, "Um, I wanted to ask what kind of supplement you gave me earlier. The effect was really impressive."
"Of course, it's impressive. That was a Basic Life Supplement costing fifty thousand yuan each. It can replenish the life force equivalent to 10 to 15 points of constitution, and the overflowing life force is relatively mild, with no side effects on the body."
"So expensive?"
Ye Mingqiu's smile froze. He initially wanted to buy more supplements to awaken more talents, but now it seemed... he'd better forget it, being poor.
However, a new question emerged in his mind, and he asked, "Didn't you say I just need rest to recover? Why use such an expensive supplement?"
"Huh?"
The doctor looked at him as if he was an idiot, casually replying, "There's a commission, after all, she's already a spiritualist, this amount of money is nothing to her. I earn performance, you recover faster, she earns merit, isn't that great?"
Ye Mingqiu fell silent, realizing that perhaps it's not baseless rumors that 80% of the school's income is closely related to mage consumption.
...
Classroom of Senior Year Class 9
After recovering, Ye Mingqiu returned to the classroom to continue with the lesson on "Support System's Profession and Skills Planning." The lesson mainly covered what kind of support professions are strong, why they are strong, how to plan skills, and which teammates they fit well with.
His desk mate, Chen Ran, leaned over quickly, staring intently at the teacher, barely moving his mouth but clearly speaking.
"Heard you've hooked up with a rich woman?"
"No, where did that rumor come from."
"Rumor? Your photo being carried to the infirmary by a mage rich woman has gone viral in the group. The whole class knows you've been bought by a rich woman now!"
"!"
"We've been classmates for three years; people still wouldn't recognize whether the person in the photo is you? You were fine when you brought up switching systems before, and not long after, you collapsed on a bench looking drained. Coincidentally, a rich mage woman came to carry you off. You say it's a rumor, who'd believe it?"
"...But it really is just a rumor; she just happened to pass by and kindly saved me."
"Then tell me, how did you end up weak and collapsed on the bench?" Chen Ran questioned.
That was the side effect of awakening a talent...
Ye Mingqiu wanted to say, but the problem is, can he really say these things? If people found out he had awakened three talents, he'd probably be dissected the next day.
Everyone knows that talent awakening is something most people experience only once in a lifetime, and most people don't even have a talent. Just having a talent is a rare event, let alone having three talents; that's practically a divine miracle.
From Chen Ran's perspective, Ye Mingqiu's difficulty turned into an unsolvable situation, and he sighed, comforting him, "It's okay; I think that rich woman looks pretty good, you aren't losing out, just doing more physical work in the future."
Damn, I'd love to do some physical work, but is that the truth? It's purely a rumor!
"I'm really envious of you, seeing how quickly you connected with the second-ranking person on the Forbes Rankings. She's a strong competitor for the top position in the college entrance exams. I heard she became a spiritualist last year." Chen Ran sighed.
"It was the year before."
"Oh, so it was the year bef—"
Chen Ran's voice halted as he turned his head and exclaimed in surprise, "You know this, yet you claim it's a rumor!"
But as soon as he spoke, he felt a wave of fear deep inside his core. It was simple; his 'distracted in class chatting technique' had failed, and at that moment, the teacher was staring coldly at him from the podium.
"Go stand in the hallway for punishment!"
Crap!
Chen Ran was filled with despair, reluctantly getting up, giving Ye Mingqiu a deep glance, and then quietly leaving the classroom.
"Ye Mingqiu, what are the main types of traditional support abilities?" the career planning teacher asked.
Ye Mingqiu stood up and answered, "Four main types: Recovery, Buff, Debuff, and Control. Apart from that, there are some rare special abilities like enhancing combat gains in the Spirit Realm, providing temporary shelter, etc., which can bring decent benefits to a team."
"Which type of ability is most popular in the early stages, and why?" the career planning teacher continued to ask.
"Recovery abilities are most popular in the early stages. At that stage, various professions have fewer skills overall, and most of the main damage-dealing and tanking professions prioritize learning skills that enhance combat capabilities. Therefore, teams generally lack sustainability, and having or not having recovery abilities greatly influences the overall strength of the team."
"With recovery abilities available, teams have a high tolerance for errors, allowing them to engage in frequent combats, thus gaining more Spirit Realm benefits. However, without recovery abilities, teams have to worry about losses and the time needed to recover." Ye Mingqiu answered.
"Your answer is decent; sit down," the career planning teacher said.
The teacher knocked on the blackboard seriously, saying, "Spirit Realm trials are not something that ends in one or two battles. It's about being in a specific environment and making choices. Only with strong enough judgment can you find the best options for yourself in the trial."
