Chapter 0002: Forward, Academic Deity!
Magic: Spirit Cultivation Technique Level 0 Ordinary, Wood God Technique Level 0 Beginner, Flying Vine Technique Level 1 Beginner, Flower God Technique Level 1 Beginner
Swiping the card to enter, Su Heng took a familiar route straight to the third floor, where the books and classics of the Spirit Wood Department were stored
Is he no longer powerless and helpless as he used to be
As Su Heng sat up, Luo Shaofei curiously spoke, "Feel free to say anything. We have been living together and sleeping under the same roof for nearly a year, so please don't hold back."
Within each academic or magical level, there are three stages: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Due to the vast and complex nature of the knowledge involved in magical arts and theories, the system has introduced a comprehensive evaluation.
... ...
In his previous life, he was a soulless technological side of Earth. He had read numerous novels and understood the concept of systems, but this is a parallel world
During the graduate stage, achieving Level 2 signifies being an elite in the relevant field within a city or region. Attaining Level 3 indicates the capability to serve as a lecturer at a prestigious university. Level 5 represents a prominent figure in the relevant field on a national scale, while Level 6 denotes a nationally recognized expert.
The new Earth is vast, yet a day still consists of 12 hours or 24 hours. The East is surrounded by the realm of the Ming Empire, all of which is recorded according to the Ming calendar, with time measured in hours. The Lighthouse Empire, on the other hand, follows the Gregorian calendar and measures time in 24 hours.
Uncertain how much time had passed, Su Heng awoke to a sharp pain in his right hand. As he murmured and opened his eyes, a surprised inquiry rang out from nearby, "Old Su, what happened to you? Why did you faint in the restroom? Your palm is injured? What occurred?"
By the way, I went to the infirmary and got some medicine for you to apply. That little injury will heal in a few hours at most. What happened to you? You took a leave of absence and went home for half a month, and yet you come back like this
Recalling his mother crying on the phone, pleading with him not to do anything foolish, Su Heng felt the urge to cry once more; he truly could not bear the weight of a single plea from his mother
The first disaster powerhouse of humanity was Emperor Chongzhen, who lived several hundred years ago. It is said that after revitalizing the mountains and rivers, he left Earth to explore the mysteries of the universe and the starry sky, and has not returned for several hundred years. Currently, the one presiding over the Ming Empire is the 79th son of Emperor Chongzhen, a powerful figure at the Star Master level
Botanical Improvement Science Level 0 Ordinary
This is a massive building that is more than ten stories high, with each floor covering an area of several thousand square meters
Super Scholar System: Host Su Heng
The Super Scholar System has been successfully activated. May I ask if the host wishes to enable the system
Comprehensive evaluation: Academic theory level 0 score 89, Practical ability level 0 score 57 (Note: Full score is 100 points)
Su Heng walked to a row of bookshelves, selected a copy of "Fundamentals of Soil Science Summary," and sat down in a window-side seat to read
After a few seconds, the system sound resumed, and he uncertainly questioned in his mind, "System?"
Su Heng still found it hard to believe that he actually had a system at his disposal
However, after the Ming Dynasty aligned itself with international standards, the division of time within the Ming territory was still based on traditional time periods, but it also adopted minutes and seconds. This was a reform initiative by Emperor Chongzhen.
The injury to his right hand has healed quickly with the aid of elixirs, but as always, the most painful aspect for him is his heart, the emotional wounds are almost unbearable
Here, technology is equally powerful, yet there exist countless cultivators who rely on the system's cultivation theories. Humans draw spiritual energy into their bodies to refine themselves, which is divided into five realms and twenty-five levels: Spiritual Transformation, Transcendence, Divine Powers, Star Master, and Cataclysm, with each realm further divided into five levels
Is this data about oneself? Su Heng was somewhat at a loss for words; after all, he was a top student from Jiangzhou University, a second-tier institution, yet his knowledge in all subjects was at level 0
Su Heng once again refused. It was only after Luo Shaofei left the dormitory in frustration that he sat by the hammock, holding his head in a daze
With this in mind, Su Heng hurriedly grabbed his student card and made his way to the library
The evolutionary direction of the Spirit Wood system
The Xu family, a prestigious old family that was nearly driven to collapse by the Su family, is not only wealthy and influential, but also has more than one extraordinary figure within its ranks, making it a prominent force that dominates the county.
Level 7 represents a world-class expert, while Level 8? This is the legendary level. Throughout the history of Earth, the Level 8 great individuals can be compared to the likes of Einstein from the previous technological era and Professor Yuan in his respective field.
After sitting in the dormitory for half an hour and having an in-depth conversation with the system, a glimmer of unprecedented brightness suddenly appeared in his eyes, which were originally filled with despair and indignation.
This parallel world Earth is vast, with the Ming Dynasty version of the rooster map spanning from the northern frontier to the South China Sea, covering hundreds of thousands of miles. With one mile equaling five hundred meters, the immense area supports an endless reproduction of humanity, and the generational population base has fostered a continuous emergence of talented groups.
In the past, Su Heng was always confident and delighted by his identity as an outstanding student from a prestigious university, filled with hope for the future. However, after a disaster, he suddenly realized that all of that meant nothing. Even if he became a second-tier wood element cultivator, in the eyes of those noble families, he was merely an ant that could be easily crushed with a wave of their hand
After a brief communication with the system, Su Heng suddenly realized that Level 1 is already an excellent level among college students in evolutionary universities, and this refers to the proficiency expected by the time of graduation in the fourth year.
This is his only roommate, Luo Shaofei, from Jiangzhou City in the provincial capital. The two have maintained a good relationship for nearly a year in the same dormitory.
Proficiency in Auxiliary Spiritual Studies Level 0
Suddenly startled by a voice in his mind, the sorrowful Su Heng looked around in confusion and then used the Wood Spirit Technique to scan his body internally
Soil science grade 0 is ordinary
Skill: Wood God Technique (Grade 3)
Su Heng's theoretical knowledge score of 89 is not considered poor, but his practical ability score of 57 is failing
The interior of the library is not a scene rendered with the lifeless furniture or lighting of the 21st century, but rather a collection of plants that have naturally grown into the shapes of tables and chairs, arranged in rows. Surrounding the desks and seats are various green leaves and vibrant flowers, with many plants emitting their own light, creating a magnificent and enchanting atmosphere akin to a paradise on earth
Mastery of Botany Level 0
The system sound rang for the third time, and Su Heng remained silent for a few seconds before choosing to activate it. In the next moment, a transparent floating frame appeared before him, suspended in mid-air. Su Heng could see it with his naked eye, but when he tried to sense it with his spiritual power, he found only a void in front of him; his cultivation's sensing ability was completely unable to detect the existence of the floating frame.
Spiritual transformation is the beginning of cultivation, and the extraordinary can rely on personal strength to soar into the sky and traverse the earth. The Star Master possesses nearly the power to annihilate a continent. A disaster transformation is equivalent to a moon-sized meteorite from outer space naturally impacting the Earth, representing the level of catastrophe associated with the end of the world.
Level 0 Mastery of Botany Cultivation
The two poles of the Earth are the Great Ming Empire and the Lighthouse Empire, both of which are presided over by the Star Lords.
Newcomer Starter Pack Task: Spend over 10 hours in the library nurturing the spirit garden within one day, and continue this for a week. The reward is a random spell or doctrine of one level.
"Ha, you young man, something seems off with you, but it’s nothing. Come on, I’ll take you to the Flower God Pavilion; let’s go admire some beauties. Just looking at beautiful women will lift your spirits." Luo Shaofei stepped forward and pulled Su Heng along.
Cultivation Level: Second Stage of Spiritual Transformation
In his previous life, Su Heng lived on a very ordinary Earth, where technology was advanced but there were no extraordinary powers. After dying in a car accident and being reborn, he initially thought he had been reincarnated on the original Earth. However, as he grew older, he began to realize the differences in this world, which is also called Earth.
Su Heng's parents are ordinary people and did not meet the standards for cultivation. However, at the age of 15, Su Heng experienced a turning point in life, impacting the crucial high school entrance examination that would affect him for a lifetime. With a combination of innate talent and hard work, he was admitted to a cultivation-oriented high school. After three years of diligent effort, he entered a higher evolution academy for further studies after the college entrance examination. Jiangzhou University of Technology is a second-tier institution, but such universities are undoubtedly the only pathway for ordinary people among the billions of humans on Earth to completely change their fate.
Is it really nothing? Luo Shaofei did not believe it, while Su Heng insisted that it was nothing. He knew that Luo Shaofei came from an ordinary family, and some matters would only bring him harm if involved.
Ding, as a scholarly genius, the host should not waste their life. Move forward, scholarly genius; the library and the nurturing garden are your best battlegrounds
Su Heng glanced at his roommate before silently shaking his head, "It's nothing."
The system? Even if it is unclear whether this super academic system is as powerful as the systems depicted in the novels from his previous life, this is still an opportunity for him; why not give it a try? If it proves useful, then perhaps the Xu family, who have been oppressed to the point of self-harm to vent their inner pain, might find relief
