Chapter 31 : Analyst
Yan Mingyu and Chen Sui agreed to meet at the school team building.
When Chen Sui entered, all four confirmed members of the school team were sitting formally on one side, creating an almost confrontational atmosphere with Yan Mingyu.
But when she walked in, that tension suddenly relaxed.
"Sit down," Yan Mingyu made room for Chen Sui.
The conference hall in the school team building was generally used for reviews.
The spacious interior had just a huge round table in the center, surrounded by soft sofas. Currently, people were sitting on the sofas arranged in a circle.
Yan Mingyu placed Chen Sui's information on the central afternoon tea table.
"I've seen your system transfer application and your application to join the school team. Student Chen Sui, your awakening and spiritual threshold value are indeed a pleasant surprise for the school team, but may I ask where your confidence to join the school team a year early comes from?"
Chen Sui had anticipated such a question, so she presented all the records she had organized in class.
"Teacher Yan, I understand everyone's concerns, but I hope the school team understands that this isn't an impulsive decision or me getting carried away. Since enrollment, I've been self-studying analyst courses. Although I haven't compared myself with those in the analyst system, if the school team has doubts about my abilities, I accept any assessment method."
Chen Sui wasn't very skilled at negotiation. She presented all her preparations, thinking that if the school team was still worried she was a half-baked novice, they could simply have a match.
Since school team selection was based on merit, she would accept any selection process.
Words mean less than a fight.
Chen Sui thought quite simply and bluntly, but her inner determination was unprecedented. She was absolutely going to enter Flower Cloud Dream.
—No matter what level that energy body was, it had destroyed her spear, pierced her eye, and then disguised itself as human.
—She would definitely kill it!
Yan Mingyu hadn't expected her answer. After hearing Chen Sui's response, she looked at Chen Sui's study records, then passed them to Xie Chunshi. They circulated within the school team.
When it reached Zhou Chen's hands, he laughed: "How long have you been studying? You're so confident already?"
Chen Sui nodded, answering sincerely: "Yes, because in the end, I will be the winner."
Zhou Chen's mouth twitched: "You're really good at boasting."
"Average, not as good as you," Chen Sui looked at him innocently.
Zhou Chen choked, taking a deep breath.
Xie Chunshi's gaze lingered on Chen Sui's information, pausing on the spiritual threshold value. Chen Sui could even see the blurred numbers in his black pupils.
"If we give you three months, what level can you reach by the end?"
Chen Sui answered with certainty: "The best."
"The best? That's too abstract," Zhou Chen didn't understand.
Chen Sui explained: "I will be the best analyst among all the teams."
Zhou Chen mocked: "Ha, do you even know who the analysts in this league competition are, and you claim to be the best?"
"Let me give you an example. First Academy's analyst He Lanqi, born into an analyst family, has been learning how to become a top analyst since birth. You can show her any part of an energy body, and she can recognize the prototype and locate the energy field. Energy level assessment is as simple as breathing for her. Energy crystal modification and editing have been her toys since childhood," Zhou Chen glanced at Gu Qinxue, "And you haven't even started practical training yet. Oh, He Lanqi is your good friend. Are you saying you can be better than He Lanqi?"
Gu Qinxue nodded without hesitation: "Of course she can."
She coldly glanced at Zhou Chen, not even blinking, as she started stabbing her old friend in the back: "What's so special about He Lanqi? The number one of the young analyst generation? Is she worthy of that title?"
Zhou Chen laughed in anger.
After hearing Zhou Chen's example, Chen Sui spread her hands: "Oh, and then?"
"She is indeed very impressive. Are you scared?"
Chen Sui's round eyes looked down at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen smiled with his face but not his eyes: "I'm not scared. I'm afraid you won't be good enough."
Chen Sui lowered her eyes, her smile fading as she looked at Yan Mingyu and Xie Chunshi: "I'll say it again, in three months, I will be the best."
Xie Chunshi said in a deep voice: "One week, positioning in an actual energy field."
Yan Mingyu nodded: "Perfect. In one week, the awakening mode team battle in the holographic battlefield will officially open."
Xie Chunshi nodded.
Chen Sui stood up, nodding to them: "No problem. See you in a week."
As the meeting between the school team and Chen Sui ended, a picture of her entering and exiting the school team building was uploaded to the forum.
[Pre-determined new school team analyst right after initial awakening? Is determining the champion based solely on spiritual threshold value reasonable?]
OP: As the title suggests, I have a question. Why are Commanders, outputs, and infantry all selected through selection matches in each system, but analysts are determined just by looking at the spiritual threshold value?
1l: ? Isn't this normal? Spiritual threshold value determines an analyst's upper limit. Would a low-threshold analyst enter a high-level energy field just to be useless?
5l: I think the original poster's point is reasonable. Why don't analysts need to be selected? I just don't accept it. Besides the spiritual threshold value not being qualified, what exactly is wrong with Liao Ruyi?
13l: Liao Ruyi's fans, don't come barking here. Isn't it a fact that Liao Ruyi lost to Tong Wei in the selection match?
15l: Thank you for your concern, but Sister Liao didn't lose. The energy monitoring equipment was given to Tong Wei by Sister Liao. Tong Wei said so herself.
17l: The problem is, if Liao Ruyi hadn't given it to Tong Wei, she wouldn't have figured out where to place it, right?
21l: Could Tong Wei figure it out? I heard in the school team training match, a certain analyst made a wrong decision, causing the infantry to be hospitalized.
OP: Don't go off-topic. I just want to know why the newcomer is predetermined to be the school team analyst!!
30l: OP, do you hate this that much? Do you have a grudge against this analyst? The school team hasn't confirmed the position yet, and you're making decisions for them?
38l: As infantry, I don't understand you analysts much, but Chen Sui is indeed very impressive. Everyone in the infantry system knows this.
42l: Infantry, don't come here embarrassing yourselves. Weren't you the first to mock Chen Sui after her spiritual awakening?
43l: Don't generalize all infantry because of some idiots, thank you. I've always liked Sister Sui, wishing her continued brilliance in the analyst system.
OP: Chen Sui shouldn't go to the analyst system; she should go to the biology department. I see she's good at raising dogs.
45l: From the biology department, does anyone know where Chen Sui is now? I need to find her for something important!
50l: What's important? You're not really asking her to raise dogs, are you? Bro, have you lost your mind? The OP is obviously being sour.
57l: I'm 45l. It's like this: our senior He Lan bought some seeds that seem to have mutated. Currently, we suspect it's due to Student Chen Sui's influence. We'd like her to cooperate with my research. Please, save me! If this seedling dies, I'll fail my mid-term exam.
50l: I heard there's a living plant fairy here. Can you save me too? I'm desperate. My seedling was growing fine, how did it die? I'm crying. It withered, and I'm withering with it.
OP: Those going off-topic, get out and start your own thread. Don't go crazy in my thread.
72l: Although, OP, are you speaking up for Liao Ruyi? As far as I know, Liao Ruyi herself hasn't said she wants to join the school team. I don't know why, but recently many people have been speaking up for her. What's your real purpose? Those who know, know.
OP: Yes, I'm upset. Why can a single spiritual threshold value determine everything? Chen Sui doesn't study hard, doesn't listen in class, and I even suspect her assignments are done by someone else on the forum. Why can she join the school team just because of a high value?
Hemo'er saw this post just as he read the OP's new reply. He was so angry he spilled his nutrient solution, immediately opening his light brain to reply.
78l: Are you an idiot? She doesn't study hard, doesn't listen in class, gets others to do her assignments? You saw all this? Did you install monitors in her artificial eyes?
79l: I agree. Chen Sui just joined your system today, right? (
sweat
) On the same day, two different majors creating threads about her. I don't know much about your sister, but her ability to stir up trouble is undeniable.
80l: Just say you're jealous. Why spread such dirt? Did you see Chen Sui studying until midnight? Did you see each of her assignments becoming a professional example? You don't really think someone can become the infantry champion just by being good at fighting, do you?
87l: Agreed. Normally she's Sister Sui, but when she explains assignments to me, she's Emperor Sui.
19l: Brother 87, be careful, the Kamanna Empire has fallen! With such remarks, be careful of dreaming about Gold Master whipping you!
95l: What! Dream of Gold Master! Is there such a good thing?
80l: 87 is hopeless, drag him away.
100l: I am Liao Ruyi. When I saw this thread, I didn't expect it would involve me. But since it has been mentioned, this thread has been officially handed over to the academy forum administration. Regarding recent forum topics about me, I make the following response:
103l: First, I did participate in the selection match, and I did lose to classmate Tong Wei in the selection match.
105l: Second, regarding the OP's statement: Chen Sui joining the school team analyst position without a selection match, I do have objections to this and will communicate with Chen Sui soon.
108l: Third, I know many of you feel regret for me. Spiritual threshold value is indeed a manifestation of an analyst's talent.
But currently, I don't believe my spiritual threshold value will limit my development. Although high-level energy fields are beyond what my spiritual threshold value can handle, and the school team has concerns about this, I completely understand.
For Zhu Jing Fu, the Star League Competition is a path to determine resources, status, and influence, which should be treated with the utmost caution.
I indeed cannot bear such a responsibility.
If Student Chen Sui can prove she has the ability to participate in the league competition, I will express my sincere congratulations.
Additionally, I ask all friends not to post a series of unsatisfied threads in my name. Perhaps the Star League Competition is not the path I should take, but I will still find my own way. High threshold values have their responsibilities, and low threshold values have their futures. I hope everyone can approach this rationally.
Liao Ruyi's statement immediately ignited the thread.
At this moment, heavy curtains blocked the midday sun. In the dim room, only the light brain was lit, illuminating the bloodshot eyes of a thin boy, his glasses reflecting the blue light from the light brain.
"Why?"
He painfully tore at his hair.
Looking at Liao Ruyi's statement on the screen, his heart was filled with anger.
"Why me? Why me?"
He cried out in pain, then thinking of Liao Ruyi saying she had reported it to the administration, he suddenly felt afraid and began searching for the delete button on the screen.
However, the thread had been locked by the academic backend, and no matter how he searched, he couldn't find it.
At this moment, Chen Sui, just waking from sleep, received a message from a stranger.
[From Academy: Hello, I am Liao Ruyi. May we talk?]
Below this message, friends whose names she could mention—Hemo'er, Tong Can, Zhang You, Tong Wei, Cheng Wei—had all sent messages.
Chen Sui was confused for a second.
The life steward issued a voice message at this time: "Student Chen Sui, Gu Qinxue (Student ID: 4709173) requests a visit."
The visit request must have been sent while she was sleeping. Chen Sui quickly agreed, opened the door, and saw Gu Qinxue in the living room.
"What's wrong? What happened? I wake up and feel like the whole world is looking for me."
Chen Sui hadn't even had time to check the messages on her light brain.
"It's not a big problem. There's a thread on the forum, basically not a good thread, questioning whether your spiritual threshold value alone is enough to qualify for the school team analyst position."
Chen Sui asked in confusion: "Didn't Commander Xie say after the holographic training in a week, they'd decide based on the situation? Have you already announced it?"
Gu Qinxue shook her head: "Someone took a photo and uploaded it to the forum, using very provocative wording. It also dragged in Tong Wei and Liao Ruyi, but later Liao Ruyi made a public statement. She'll probably contact you later."
Chen Sui saw the stranger's message and approved her list request.
The other side quickly sent a message.
[Liao Ruyi: Hello, I'm Liao Ruyi. Have you seen the forum thread?]
[Chen Sui: Just seeing it, give me a moment]
Chen Sui clicked into that thread, reading from top to bottom.
Gu Qinxue glanced at her: "Didn't you just join the analyst system? What's going on?"
Chen Sui was also confused: "I don't know, I just attended one class."
The original poster was indeed malicious, and clearly targeting not high spiritual threshold value groups but Chen Sui personally.
"What does Liao Ruyi want with me?"
Chen Sui casually mentioned.
Gu Qinxue was silent for a second: "She previously participated in the school team analyst selection match and lost to Tong Wei, but Tong Wei's psychological quality isn't good, she's emotionally fragile, not suitable for being the school team analyst."
"Maybe she feels some regret? After all, if they can't find a suitable analyst, they might eventually have Liao Ruyi fill in."
"She's a decent person, clear about love and hate, very straightforward."
With Gu Qinxue giving such a positive evaluation, Chen Sui chatted with Liao Ruyi.
The other person was indeed very straightforward, getting right to the point.
[Liao Ruyi: Hello classmate, has the school team analyst position been confirmed for you?]
[Chen Sui: Not yet, the Team Leader and Teacher Yan said there will be a holographic event trial training]
[Liao Ruyi: Phew, that's good. If the school team didn't look at anything else and just determined based on spiritual threshold value, I would really be angry.]
[Chen Sui: A high spiritual threshold value doesn't mean suitable]
[Liao Ruyi: I wanted to ask if you have time, could we arrange an energy field session?]
[Liao Ruyi: You know, I was dropped before, partly because of the spiritual threshold value factor. I still want to know, compared to a high-threshold analyst, besides the value, where else am I lacking? I guess I'm a bit unwilling to accept it.]
[Liao Ruyi: I won't waste your time. I heard from Hemo'er that you've self-studied analyst courses before. If you have any questions, maybe I can help you too. Although my threshold isn't high, I think I've learned pretty well!]
Chen Sui found Gu Qinxue's evaluation to be quite accurate.
Liao Ruyi was indeed an excessively straightforward person, making it difficult to refuse.
[Chen Sui: That's fine, just set a time. My class schedule, all the empty slots work for me.]
To make time for practice, Chen Sui had already changed her substitute teaching group note to "not accepting orders," so all times without classes could be used for training.
[Liao Ruyi: I'll check and contact you later. By the way, I've submitted that forum thread to the school, but the school thinks it's difficult to handle. They've currently banned further replies and privately warned the poster. I'm sorry, maybe because I lost the selection match, I was emotionally upset and cried to friends a few times. My friends felt indignant for me, and then the forum started stirring things up, so------]
[Chen Sui: It's okay, it's not your fault. They're coming after me.]
Chen Sui replied directly. Although she didn't know who the poster was, the tone clearly showed that whether it was Liao Ruyi or Tong Wei, they were just being used to drag her down, to step on her.
Liao Ruyi still felt very apologetic.
[Liao Ruyi: I was indeed unhappy when I lost the selection, but later, after visiting a few high-level energy fields, I understood the reason. Spiritual threshold values are indeed innate. My threshold determines that I can only do things at this level, but doing well at this level can still be remarkable.]
Chen Sui couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Liao Ruyi's words seemed particularly open-minded.
Chen Sui thought, if one knew from the beginning that their future had been sentenced to death, how could they truly accept it?
This reconciliation process was bound to be long.
She was just extremely lucky among countless people.
"Strange," Chen Sui could understand receiving messages from others, but why had He Lanxi and a group labeled as "Biology Department So-and-So" sent her so many messages? "What does He Lanxi want with me?"
Gu Qinxue, who had spent the entire noon eating her roommate's forum "melon" (gossip), was holding a fruit cultivated by the biology department. The taste of the food was much more delicious than nutrient solution.
"Oh, he seemed to want me to pass a message to you."
Gu Qinxue tilted her head back, her snow-white hair sliding down the sofa. Sunlight fell on her face, making her snow-white skin almost transparent, the tiny down hair swaying. Then she said in a somewhat cold voice: "But I forgot."
Chen Sui reached out and grabbed another fruit from her hand, tossing it into her own mouth.
Gu Qinxue's eyes widened, looking at her in surprise: "You've learned bad habits. You weren't like this before."
Chen Sui honestly replied: "Before, you were too cold, I didn't dare provoke you."
Gu Qinxue's mouth corners drooped: "Am I very warm now?"
Chen Sui nodded.
Gu Qinxue glared at her, "For the sake of my warmth, work hard and try to design a summoned body for me in the league competition."
A summoned body is a species created by analysts through energy crystals, editing to add attributes and forms to spiritual bodies, allowing spiritual bodies to transform between their true form and summoned form.
Chen Sui was currently just at the entry level, still in the practical stage of sensing energy levels.
But she nodded very seriously, with a flat tone and familiar arrogance: "Rest assured, no one but me."
Gu Qinxue liked her habitual swagger.
Chen Sui replied to He Lanxi with a question mark.
The other side immediately popped out a message.
He Lanxi: Classmate, let's do a business deal worth ten thousand star coins
He Lanxi: I heard you have a wood-type spiritual body
Chen Sui: ?
He Lanxi: Let's meet in person, I'm afraid you won't believe me
Chen Sui: ?
She said goodbye to Gu Qinxue: "He's being mysterious, asking me to meet at the biology department's experimental garden. I'll go first."
Gu Qinxue waved her hand, watching her leave, then opened her own light brain.
On the screen appeared another section of the StarNet forum [League Communication]
Looking at the obvious paid hot post at the top, Gu Qinxue could barely contain her mockery.
[Gu Family's main system heir enters the Star League Competition, First Ring Fourth Academy may change military direct school seats, Zhu Jing Fu in danger!]
