Chapter 2 The Death of God
Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School.
The full name is Qingcheng University Affiliated Middle School.
As an affiliated middle school of the top university in the outer ring, Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School is also a key high school ranked among the top in the outer ring. Students who can come here to study are basically worthy of being called excellent.
"... After that, the administrative districts of our Zhuxia were replanned..."
The geography teacher on the podium said while writing on the teaching board.
Unlike Xue Jing's previous life, this planet called Earth Star, although the national power can be roughly found to correspond, many things are very different.
The biggest difference is that at the end of the 19th century, an event that affected the world and is now called the "Death of God" occurred.
It was also because of that event that the AD calendar with the birth of Jesus as the first year officially ended, and the "New Era" with the year after the death of God as the first year was used as the new calendar. The history before the death of God is called the "Old Era" and the "Old Times".
Today, it is the 267th year of the New Era.
Xue Jing twirled the pen in his hand flexibly, seemingly looking at the podium intently, but in fact his mind was empty and he was basically not listening to the class.
He opened the skill panel, and there was no skill related to reading on it.
As a student in the elite class of a key high school, his grades were quite excellent. Judging from the activation conditions of other skills, it was impossible for him to fail to meet the most basic Lv1 activation conditions in terms of academics.
But on the panel, Chinese, mathematics, physics, politics, history... none of them.
'Maybe... these courses themselves can only be regarded as "knowledge" and not "skills"? '
Xue Jing guessed.
The skills recognized by the skill panel should refer to the ability to have specific behaviors, and subjects such as Chinese and mathematics can only be regarded as knowledge stored in the brain, not skills.
'If this is the case, attending class is a bit of a waste of time...'
Xue Jing twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand quickly, and was considering whether to pretend to be sick and skip class to go home to grind skills, when he suddenly saw that the "Charm" on the panel was gaining experience again.
[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm experience +1]
[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm experience +1]
He remained calm, and suddenly turned his head to look around, and his eyes met with a female classmate wearing glasses who was secretly looking at him. The other party looked embarrassed, and quickly looked away, and pushed her glasses as if to cover up, and her cheeks flushed.
Xue Jing was a little helpless.
He had only activated the skill "Charm" in the past two days.
As the name suggests, it is a skill to improve one's own charm and attract others.
The effect is that his behavior will be more charming, his expression management ability will be better, and even when the level is increased, his body will change, his figure will be more symmetrical and beautiful, and his appearance will be slightly adjusted.
However, this skill... he doesn't need it.
In this life, he can only be described in six words.
Innate soft rice holy body.
There is no need for such things as charm. When he stands there, he is a human aphrodisiac.
However, this skill that he least needed was the one that he could improve most easily.
Because one of the conditions for gaining experience is that someone has emotions such as "like" or "favor" him. The stronger the emotion, the more experience he will gain.
And if he takes the initiative to do something that makes people feel good, the experience will increase even more, such as when he accepted the towel from a junior schoolmate during the physical test at noon, he directly increased his experience by 45 points.
This is also the reason why he did not deliberately work on "Charm", but still reached Lv2 in two days.
Just strolling around the street can gain a lot of experience, so it is natural to upgrade quickly.
"If only other skills were so simple..."
Xue Jing turned his pen and thought boredly.
...
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang.
Xue Jing packed up his things and was about to call Li Ge to go together, but he saw a middle-aged man with a slightly taller figure and a slightly higher hairline standing at the door of the classroom and waved at him.
That was their class teacher, Chinese teacher Du Shiwei.
Seeing this, Xue Jing and Li Ge made a gesture, signaling him to go first, then he put his schoolbag on one shoulder, walked to Du Shiwei, and asked in confusion:
"Teacher Du, you are looking for me?"
"Yes." Du Shiwei nodded, looked at Xue Jing, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
This student, not only has excellent grades, after all, there is no poor student in the elite class, but mainly because of his good appearance.
Occasionally, when there are activities that need to find a few students to fill the door, it is very face-saving to pull him over.
I didn't expect that his sports ability is so good.
"Xue Jing, it's like this. I heard from Teacher Chen that your long-distance running results in this physical test are quite good. Isn't the school sports meeting going to be held next month? Are you interested in participating and winning an honor for our elite class?"
Du Shiwei patted Xue Jing on the shoulder and smiled.
Xue Jing subconsciously wanted to refuse. He had no intention of participating in the competition. But suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He pondered for a while and then nodded:
"Since the teacher said so, I will join."
Du Shiwei smiled: "Okay, okay, I will sign up for you. Do you want to run the 800-meter event or the 1,500-meter event?"
Xue Jing asked: "Teacher, how many events are there in running?"
"For pure running, there are 50-meter run, 100-meter run... 400-meter run, 800-meter run, 1,500-meter run... and a relay run." Du Shiwei counted them one by one on his fingers.
Xue Jing thought for a while and said: "Can I participate in all events?"
Du Shiwei was stunned, "You want to dominate all events, you have ambition."
"Well... you can, but there are several events on the same day. Can you hold on physically?"
Du Shiwei looked worried.
Xue Jing nodded: "Teacher, don't worry, I probably can."
Even if I can't do it now... I will definitely be able to do it next month.
Xue Jing glanced at the two skills "Running" and "Fitness" on the panel.
"Okay, then the teacher believes in you." Du Shiwei patted his shoulder again.
"Then let's do this first. I'll go and sign you up. If you really get first place, the teacher will also be proud of you."
After saying that, Du Shiwei turned around and left with brisk steps.
After he left, Li Ge, who had been staying not far away, came over and asked, "What does Lao Du want to talk to you about?"
Xue Jing picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the teaching building with him, and replied, "He wants me to participate in the long-distance running event at the school sports meeting next month."
"Did you agree?" Li Ge asked.
Xue Jing nodded.
"Something's wrong, ten or even nine points wrong." Li Ge fell into deep thought.
He and Xue Jing have been classmates and close friends for many years, and he knows Xue Jing very well.
Because he is a person who easily attracts attention and does not lack attention at all, he has basically no interest in such things that are exposed. This has been the case for three years in high school, and he has never participated in any activities that can be avoided.
This time, they actually had to participate in the school sports meet. Li Ge seemed to have already seen the love in the eyes of the junior girls when Xue Jing crossed the finish line and won first place.
He did not doubt whether Xue Jing could be first. As for the result Xue Jing ran at noon, no one in the school could compete with him.
"Not only long-distance running, but all running-related events, I will participate." Xue Jing added.
Li Ge paused: "How dare you! Old Xue, do you really want to dominate the hearts of all the junior girls? I think you have already found a way to die!"
Xue Jing patted his head and laughed: "Don't come on, you have a girlfriend, and you worry about the allocation of junior girls?"
"That can't be said. After all, I am also the former president of the student union. I must have a sense of the overall situation that always considers my classmates..."
The two walked to the school gate, chatting and laughing all the way.
"Aren't you planning to take the entrance exam to Xingda? How are you preparing?"
Xue Jing asked on the way.
Li Ge shook his head and sighed, "There is little hope. It is ridiculously difficult for people from the outer ring to enter the inner ring universities. I tried with the papers from previous years, and I was a long way from the admission line. Do these inner ring universities really plan to recruit students from the outer ring? It feels like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, which can be seen but not eaten."
Xing University, the full name of which is Xingcheng University, is a municipal higher education institution in Xingcheng.
There are nine "urban circles" in Zhuxia, and the cities in the urban circles are divided into "inner ring", "outer ring" and "edge".
Xingcheng and Qingcheng are both cities in the "fifth urban circle", but Qingcheng belongs to the outer ring city, while Xingcheng is an inner ring city.
The inner ring cities are extremely developed. Even Qingcheng, a city with good development in the outer ring, can only be regarded as a "countryside place" compared with the inner ring cities.
If you can be admitted to Xingcheng University as an outer ring person, it is a literal leap over the dragon gate.
Xue Jing patted Li Ge on the shoulder: "Come on."
"What about you? What are your plans?" Li Ge asked back.
"There is still one semester before graduation. Do you want to go directly to Qing University? Or do you want to try your best like me?"
Xue Jing shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."
His overall score is a little worse than Li Ge's. Even Li Ge has no hope of getting into an inner-ring university, let alone him.
Even if he is admitted, he needs to pay a high tuition fee to the school as an outer-ring person. This tuition fee is very exaggerated. It is called tuition fee, but it is actually the "household registration fee" for outer-ring people to become inner-ring people. It can often make a small wealthy family go bankrupt.
Of course, even so, there are still countless people flocking to it, because it is a real class leap.
"Maybe... I will practice martial arts."
Li Ge frowned, not quite agreeing: "Practice martial arts? You want to be a martial artist? This track is not easy to walk, the competition is too fierce, and it is very dangerous. You don't even have the basics, are you going to deliver food?"
"Not necessarily."
"Maybe I am a rare genius."
Xue Jing stared at the skill panel and said softly.
