There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#476 - Chapter 474: The Abilities of the Girls in the Zhayin Dormitory

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

The eight members of Qi Jing's and Tan Zuoyin's dormitories gathered in the gazebo in the small park downstairs from the girls' dormitory building.

This was something they had agreed on long ago: to have a meal together at the start of the semester and catch up.

As for who initiated it, it was, of course, Yan Cheng's wingman, Wu Tianxin.

"Have you leveled up?"

Qi Jing had been thinking about leveling up all winter vacation but hadn't, so he was now very concerned about the level issue.

Yan Cheng pursed his lips:

"It's just the start of the semester, let's not talk about such unpleasant things."

Clearly, he was still at level one.

From the moment he awakened his ability until now, there hadn't been a day he hadn't stopped drawing, yet there were still no signs of leveling up.

He was even starting to think he was one of the few legendary ability users without a level.

Bai Xiaoxiao said in a calm tone:

"Don't worry, generally speaking, the average level for the entire junior year is only 1.6. You're already at level two, which is ahead of many people."

"That's true."

Qi Jing nodded.

He seemed to be getting a little anxious too.

Compared to Song Jiang and Miao Kui, who used their abilities all day long, and Yan Cheng, who never stopped drawing, he used his ability too little. Reaching level two was already exceptionally lucky, and he shouldn't be greedy.

"Xiaoxiao, didn't you level up? Tell them about the new ability you got."

Wu Tianxin nudged Bai Xiaoxiao with her shoulder, looking mischievous, as if she was about to watch something fun.

"Um, maybe we shouldn't talk about it yet."

Bai Xiaoxiao rarely revealed a shy expression.

In other people's eyes, she usually had a serious demeanor, never too enthusiastic or too cold to anyone.

Anyone who saw her would say she was a reliable person with her own opinions, knew how to advance and retreat, was composed and calm, and didn't show her emotions.

But she actually showed this expression, which greatly surprised Qi Jing.

What ability did she get when she leveled up this time?

Qi Jing looked around at the others and found that the three girls from the girls' dormitory were all suppressing laughter, indicating that they already knew her new ability.

Miao Kui and Song Jiang were confused, just like him.

Only Yan Cheng had an unchanging expression.

This kid was acting strange; he definitely already knew!

He said he went to Bai Xiaoxiao's hometown for vacation this winter; there must have been some progress.

He wouldn't admit it in the group no matter what! Something was up!

"Well, my ability is called 'Paper Magic,' right? At level one, I could control the movement and hardness of paper, etc. Leveling up to level two only gave me one ability."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoxiao paused.

She glanced at Qi Jing and the others who were listening quietly to her, and then secretly glanced at Yan Cheng.

"That is, I can summon paper guardians, like clones."

"Oh, so it's clones."

Qi Jing nodded slightly.

But why would clones make her shy?

Just as Bai Xiaoxiao's face was getting redder and redder, Xia Tao quickly raised her right hand to help her out of the situation:

"I also leveled up to level two. Before, 'Free Loot' could randomly steal one item from the opponent within five meters, but now I can steal from further away."

Xia Tao's voice didn't tremble when she said this, and it was very loud, indicating that she no longer had the shyness and timidity she had at the beginning of the semester.

However, the bit of red on the tip of her ears still betrayed her feelings.

She was probably quite nervous now.

Just like a pure boy would blush when talking to a girl, she would be the same when talking to a boy.

Qi Jing remembered that he also had a similar ability to her, called "Theft," which stole a random item from the opponent within ten meters, with the success rate depending on the strength of both sides.

However, Xia Tao's "Free Loot" didn't have a success rate. It only depended on the strength of the item and her source power. As long as her source power was sufficient, she could steal anything.

Increasing the distance was a good evolution.

But the reason why Bai Xiaoxiao was shy was more attractive.

Could it be related to Yan Cheng, that dog?

Seeing that everyone still hadn't shifted their attention away, Xia Tao reached out her small hand and tugged at Wu Tianxin's sleeve, wanting her to say a few words too.

Wu Tianxin understood instantly. She cleared her throat and said:

"I didn't level up, but I can transform into more birds now."

Her ability, "Bird Transformation," allowed her to transform into any bird she had seen, so the stronger the bird she saw, the stronger her strength would be.

But she hadn't obtained a level one pass yet, so she couldn't go to the zoo in the other world, and therefore couldn't transform into stronger birds.

So she could only visit various zoos to greatly increase the types of birds she could transform into. However, the birds on Earth were far inferior to the ability users, so this couldn't directly improve her strength.

The only two birds she could transform into that had combat power were the spiky gull in cafeteria C and Tan Zuoyin's Jile.

That's right, it was Jile, but she couldn't transform into Jile's ability, "Paradise," she could only possess Jile's basic abilities.

Transforming into a pipa, having a beautiful voice, launching musical notes, amplifying sound wave attacks...

"But I still haven't learned the Lion's Roar that Zuoyin gave me. It's so difficult~"

Wu Tianxin was lying on the Go table in the middle of the small pavilion, looking dejected.

The mental energy consumed by the ability transmission jade slip was too much. Her little brain couldn't handle it at all. She hadn't even finished the breathing steps of the Lion's Roar before her mind went blank.

"Zuoyin, I have failed your ability transmission jade slip, ah~~~"

Could it be that she could only be Tan Zuoyin's exclusive weapon (secondary)?

As for turning into a silly bird that headbutts others, she would never do that in her life.

"Don't be discouraged. The ability transmission jade slip was originally set for fourth-year courses. Of course, you can't handle it now."

Tan Zuoyin had just had a whim to let Wu Tianxin try it. She didn't have much hope that she would learn this move.

If Qi Jing, the "author," wasn't here, the ability transmission jade slip probably wouldn't have reached the hands of first-year students like them.

Wu Tianxin's upper body suddenly straightened up from the table:

"But I'll be saved soon. There will definitely be high-level bird pets in the team battles, or people who can transform into birds! By then, I'll be able to steal all their birds! Hahahaha!"

That was the logic, but why did it sound so wrong?

Qi Jing asked:

"Can you transform into birds that others transform into using their abilities?"

Jile's ability couldn't be copied, so there was a high probability that birds that others transformed into using their abilities couldn't be copied either.

"I don't know, I haven't tried it, but 'an ability is a bird' and 'a bird's ability' should be two different things. I think I can!"

Wu Tianxin was relatively optimistic by nature. As long as there was still hope, she wouldn't worry in advance.

She'd deal with it if she really couldn't transform.

"Hopefully."

Qi Jing thought about adding the three of them to the team anyway. He'd equip them with battle suits, and getting a pass would be easy.

But he glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, who had returned to normal, and gave up the idea again.

Last time, when he said this, Bai Xiaoxiao took the lead in rejecting him, saying that she wasn't worthy of Qi Jing's team. Wu Tianxin and Xia Tao also rejected him along with her.

It would probably be the same result if he said it this time.

Unless Yan Cheng successfully conquered Bai Xiaoxiao, the strong-willed class monitor.

Just as Qi Jing looked at Yan Cheng, he seemed to sense something, slapped the table, and stood up:

"It's getting dark. Let's go eat!"

Wait, can you read minds?

Then he'd ask him about the situation when they got back. The sky was big, the earth was big, but eating was the biggest:

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to a restaurant!"

Yan Cheng refused: "No, we want to eat what you make."

"What? I cooked all morning, you guys know that."

Although cooking wasn't tiring and was very interesting, Qi Jing didn't want to cook a second time in one day.

"We'll help you."

Yan Cheng secretly signaled to him with his eyes.

That look, did he want to wash vegetables with Bai Xiaoxiao?

You dog, you want to use me (my cooking skills) to climb up?

Qi Jing pretended not to understand:

"But we don't have a place to cook?"

Who knew Yan Cheng would point to the ground:

"Isn't this a place? Hurry up and take out the complete set of kitchen utensils from your space, Chef Qi."

Looking at him continuing to wink frantically, Qi Jing suddenly realized with kindness.

Should he fulfill his wish?

But this place was too conspicuous.

Qi Jing looked around at the others and found that there was no objection in their eyes, only eagerness and anticipation.

Damn it, you all want to have a picnic in the school?

"Okay, then you guys do it. I'll just be responsible for talking."

"No problem." × 7
