Three months before the graduation ceremony, most of the students had already begun to pursue their careers.
Zhang Qi did not leave school, but instead of going to the teaching building, he spent his days moving between the dormitory, the playground, and the cafeteria, exercising under the pretext of preparing for his future farming career. He was not the only one; many students did the same. After all, leaving school meant settling for the worst jobs, with little hope for the future, so it was better to stay and make the most of their time there.
Zhang Qi also noticed that these students seemed relatively safe, and few had been replaced by the “*Tianchang Fox.” This suggested that the “*Tianchang Fox” targeted either students with great potential or those in key departments like the patrol team. The rest were not considered a significant threat and were, therefore, a lower priority for the “Tianchang Fox.”
(PR: Tianchang fox translates to omnipresent celestial fox)
For example, Zhang Qi himself was a summoner who could not obtain a summoning beast. He was destined to be a farmer, and as he posed no danger, the “Tianchang Fox” did not immediately attack him. In contrast, Luo Shiyu, who had awakened an extremely powerful ability two years ago, had likely been targeted by the “Tianchang Fox” ever since she was identified as gifted.
Zhang Qi could feel himself improving daily, with his physical fitness increasing steadily. If not for the limitations of his physical and mental strength, he would have devoured contract gems like candy.
Unfortunately, in the past few days, he had not awakened any new talents; only his potential had been continuously improving.
The most obvious sign of this improvement was that he could now do a thousand consecutive push-ups within just a few tens of days. Moreover, after finishing, his physical strength recovered quickly, and he no longer lay on the ground, exhausted and unable to move, like before.
Night had fallen. Zhang Qi sat cross-legged on his bed and glanced out the window at the night sky. He then condensed another contract gem and held it in his mouth, chewing it slightly before swallowing.
This time, he suddenly felt as if the entire world had fallen silent, as if all sound had disappeared. It took a while for him to emerge from the silence, and only then did the sounds of crickets and frogs resume.
He immediately cast an appraisal spell on himself.
[Appraisal Successful]
[Summoner: Zhang Qi]
[Master: Zhang Qi]
[Race: Human]
[Potential: ????]
[Lifespan: 89]
[Talents]
[Contract Gem: Can consume physical strength and mental strength to condense a contract gem. Once the target voluntarily accepts the contract gem, their life, soul, and consciousness will be controlled by the summoner, but they will also gain the summoner’s potential and luck bonus. After the first consumption, subsequent consumptions will slightly improve the target’s potential and have a 1% chance of awakening a new talent. Note: The talent ability obtained by the summoner Zhang Qi by overdrawing his IQ, potential, and luck is very powerful, but it also has some huge flaws. Having too much ambition may not be a good thing.]
[Absolute Order: You have absolute control over the summoner, and your orders will never be disobeyed.]
[Absolute Obedience: You absolutely obey the orders of the summoner and will faithfully carry out their commands.]
[Unstable Appraisal Technique: You can appraise the target with a very small probability of obtaining their information. The smaller the difference in strength between the two parties, the higher the probability of successfully obtaining information. The first appraisal is successful, and subsequent appraisals of the same target will have a greatly increased success rate. Note: This talent ability is born from the desire for knowledge of both the summoner Zhang Qi and the summoned creature Zhang Qi.]
[Night Walker: Gain night vision, greatly reduce your presence at night, greatly increase movement speed, slightly reduce physical strength, and become completely invisible in shadows.]
Zhang Qi had actually gained another talent ability! He didn’t need to appraise himself to know that his body had changed; he could feel it.
After all, it was night, and the improvements to his vision and physical strength were obvious. He got out of bed to test his new abilities and found that his body felt much lighter. With a gentle jump, he could touch the ceiling, and he landed almost silently.
