Chapter 370: 016. Aid Study Society

Under the enhancement of his overpowering Charm, Li Aozi’s words, like chisels, were firmly carved into Vick’s heart.

Compared to the aggression in Li Aozi’s words, Vick was more afraid of Li Aozi’s imposing figure and his fierce demeanor.

In his previous life, not to mention, in this life, Li Aozi had emerged from the mountains of corpses and the seas of blood in Azure Star. Even his casually swung fists seemed to carry a malevolent aura with the wind pressure they stirred.

"It seems that you want to be thrown off the Flying Carpet from a height of 70 meters, fall onto the ground without a Magic protection net, watch your intestines and brain matter turn into a mushy mess, and then watch as stray dogs pass by, eat it, digest it, and excrete it out, turning it into filthy filth—you think everything is meaningless, so even this is acceptable to you, right?"

Li Aozi spoke lightly. Vick immediately could not maintain his composure:

"I didn’t say that..."

"Then shut up, you brain-dead, disloyal person, you wouldn’t be welcomed anywhere. Keep babbling, and you might as well go home and mooch off your parents! Snake skin!"

Li Aozi spoke very euphemistically, considering the other party’s young age. It was better to avoid involving family members, so he didn’t even curse Vick’s ancestors.

With such a friendly appeasement, Vick dared not to argue back, shrinking into a corner by himself. Yet Li Aozi still heard him cursing behind his back:

"A bunch of chives, just wait, you all will be squeezed dry one by one."

Li Aozi did not know where this man’s malice came from, nor did he pay much attention to it.

The atmosphere returned to calm. Due to Li Aozi’s performance, he gained significant attention among this group of examinees. Moreover, with his unique appearance and aura, exceptionally charismatic, everyone was willing to gather around Li Aozi.

As the saying goes, "The more followers on the Pathway, the fewer when off the path," among these students, who knows which one could be a future fellow student—it’s still very cost-effective to maintain good relationships.

For the people of the Tanas Clan, they have been immersed in full-time studies for a long time, their nature pure, ignorant of adult social interactions in Society.

Actually, Li Aozi was not articulate and was not good at socializing, but unfortunately, his Charm was too high. After chatting for a while, a female examinee named Miti Lya suddenly proposed:

"I have an idea—since everyone is going to take exams in Orlan City, why don’t we form an Aid Study Society, gather together, and help each other out?"

The exams at the Crystal Tower were very interesting. Due to the massive amount of questions every time—3500 objective questions, 600 subjective questions, 12 experimental questions, plus a 10,000-word essay—the Population of examinees was too large. Therefore, the department of education decided that the exams would be divided into five days, each day lasting up to 12 hours, and examinees could decide the number of questions they wanted to take each day—the questions were randomly generated by magic intelligences, so there was no worry about leaking questions or cheating.

The exam lasted 5 days, not to mention the myriad of questions, the back and forth between the exam site and accommodations, as well as meals and living arrangements, made it very difficult to manage without care in such a pressured environment.

If they banded together, it wouldn’t be a bad choice.

Cadfy’s eyes lit up: "Sure, sure, we all know each other, looking after each other can also reduce a lot of inconveniences."

"I’ve been to Orlan City twice now; I know which hotel is suitable there."

"But with a bunch of people, isn’t it easy to get into a mess? With both men and women, it’s not suitable to stay in the same big room..."

"I have no objections. But how should we fund this? We have to rent Flying Carpets back and forth to the exam site, book the hotel, and arrange for meals, and all these cost money."

Although their intentions were good, they still encountered many doubts in implementation.

However, Cadfy and Miti weren’t in a hurry. As the two main proponents of this plan, they both turned their gaze to Li Aozi.

Li Aozi was initially uninterested, but suddenly, a thought struck him. He remembered that the Spellcasters of the Tanas Clan had a very interesting Specialty they could upgrade.

"And that Specialty is also a ’Perpetual’ Specialty of the growth type, just like the [Perpetual Love Hunting]."

With his current situation, the knowledge learned by his split entity, his main body would also grasp, and if the split entity mastered a Specialty, his main body could gain it as well.

Although promoting his main body to Gamma Rank was somewhat distant, it didn’t mean he couldn’t boost his main body’s combat capabilities.

If his main body could obtain that Perpetual Specialization... Li Aozi could have directly gone to complete the task for the "Star Realm Echoer," leveraging the optimizing effect of the job change to forcibly elevate himself to Gamma.

— No.

Not just that.

The increase in [Intelligence] enabled Li Aozi to clearly recall those trivial details that were once drowned in the sea of information.

He remembered: during the [Echoer] task, there was a chance to obtain a "Class Promotion Voucher"— disregarding conditions and level limits, forcibly advancing one tier.

That meant, if he got that specialization, he was essentially on a steady path to Delta Rank.

Specializations, knowledge, arcane energy, equipment—these things could all be supplemented with a clone.

"Damn... How could I not have thought of such a simple truth before? How stupid was I before?"

Logically, with an 8.4 in [Intelligence], he should have been at the level of a college graduate, but there were some key things and memories he just couldn’t recall.

"The [Intelligence] attribute is too damn convenient. If it weren’t for the fact that I still have to deal with societal enemies, I’d really like to stack up a few hundred points of [Intelligence] and then talk, it’s so thrilling; my brain incessantly provides all sorts of messages. It’s great, great..."

The most powerful effect of the Perpetual series of specializations is that one specialization can work like two and generally possess immense growth abilities. Furthermore, as soon as the Perpetual effect is triggered, it can be directly converted into combat power.

For example, his "Perpetual Love Hunting" specialization, one of the most fitting specializations for a Mutant on Azure Star, not only adds +1 to the growth value of the main attribute but also increases the yield by 30%, enabling his attributes to swell instantly, overcoming difficulties, and the values inflate more as time goes by.

Most Perpetual specializations are useful for Li Aozi, after all, pathways for "Meteor Fall Master," "Magician," "Architect," and "Biochemist" have much in common.

"This [Intelligence] attribute wasn’t added in vain. I feel like I can recall even more details; they are like inspiration, sometimes bursting out unexpectedly."

Li Aozi held his forehead, carefully recalling the steps to obtain that Perpetual specialization.

The challenge for this specialization was triggered in the form of a task.

His high intelligence made his mind relaxed, and ideas agile, soon constructing his speech.

"Pretty good," said Li Aozi, "I think this idea is not bad. But we have so many people, already 27—wouldn’t it be better to give our mutual aid group a name?"

"How about calling it a study group?"

"They’re all over the place, who can tell them apart? Let’s just call it the Shore Reach Society, wishing that we definitely can make it ashore."

"Fun fact: generally, what’s lacking in the name is what people think of filling in..."

"Then let’s call it the One Heart Society! We all aim to join the army, with one heart and utmost loyalty and sincerity!"

"Why does it sound like a gang—right, since it was you, Li Aozi, who suggested it, you should finalize the name yourself."

"Me?"

Li Aozi fell into thought.

"Yeah, your taste should be decent, right?"

He reviewed the various skill names he had created thus far.

"Phoenix Bomb", "Heavenly Pull Fire", "Ghostly Slash", "Sword of Severing Firmament of Morphederia"... the scent of chuunibyou was overwhelming.

"Aid Study Society." Li Aozi answered promptly.
