Chapter 47 – A Flash of Light
Chapter 47 A Flash of Light
The invigilator on the podium froze for a moment when he heard Lu Yuan’s answer.
His face quickly cooled down.
“Alright, the test paper is on the table, you can go.”
Lu Yuan picked up his stationery and left the exam room with a calm pace.
“Students nowadays.”
Looking at Lu Yuan’s back as he left, the invigilator gently shook his head, not knowing whether he felt disappointed or amused.
He carelessly walked towards Lu Yuan’s examination seat.
Casually picking up the paper on the table, his eyes were stunned in the next second.
What he saw in front of his eyes was not the expected large blank space, but instead a neatly written answer sheet that was filled to the brim.
The line of sight fell on the test paper, accompanied by the downward movement of one question after another.
The expression on the invigilator’s face also quickly changed from initial disdain to shock, and finally incredulity, disbelief .
“It’s Class 3’s Lu Yuan, he handed in his paper early again!”
“It’s only been fifteen minutes since the exam started, I haven’t even finished the multiple choice questions! Why did he just hand in his paper?”
“This is the first exam he’s done this for! I think he’s writing all over the paper.”
“What a pervert.”
“Someone copy the blanks for me.”
“Quiet!”
The invigilator had a stern face and silenced the buzzing sound resounding in the classroom, turning his head to look at the test paper in his hand again.
Lightly wiped the sweat on his forehead, already full of complexity unable to say a word.
Lu Yuan walked alone on the campus road.
On both sides of the road is a tall ginkgo tree, dense green leaves shading the hot midday sun, falling mottled light and shadow at the foot.
Cicadas are chirping incessantly.
[You went through an exam, professional experience +7]
[Your skill history has received a boost, experience value +5]
Lu Yuan checked the message prompts that popped up on the panel as he walked, his eyes fluctuating without a fluctuation.
“Even a big test like the final exam, a test can only add so much experience to me, the knowledge at the high school stage is really a bit shallow for me right now.”
Calling up the occupation panel, what was displayed on it was-
[Occupation: Student lv4 (788/800)]
[Occupation Basic Skills: Language lv5 (133/1600)
Math lv5 (245/1600)
Physics lv4 (580/800)
Chemistry lv4 (434/800)
Biology lv4 (362/800)
History lv4 (377/800)
Geography lv4 (589/800)
Information Technology lv4 (32/800)]
All this time he’s been chewing on advanced math in his college courses and teaching himself a minor language.
But it was only after brushing up the two languages and math to lv5 that he realized that the full level of the basic skills under the [Student] profession was not level five at all.
Originally intended to use the [Student] panel to quickly brush attribute points of the idea immediately fell through, can only slowly come.
It was just the last of the final exams, and Lu Yuan handed in his papers almost an hour or so early.
Without a class to return to, he simply went out of the school gate, and was too lazy to wait for the bus, directly walking home.
“Get me a lemonade, extra large.”
After walking for twenty minutes under the scorching sun, when there were still a few blocks away from home, he finally couldn’t resist the heat, and spent eight dollars on a cup of milk tea at a roadside milk tea store.
The lemonade with ice cubes brought a silky cool feeling when held in the hand.
Straw inserted, “gulp gulp” in one gulp the whole cup of lemonade.
Then I tore off the sealing paper on the glass, poured the remaining lemon slices and ice cubes into my mouth, and chewed.
Sour and cold stimulation finally let him a little slowly back to the feeling of blood.
Three or two times finished the milk tea, the empty cup casually thrown into the trash can on the side of the road.
Only then did Lu Yuan return his attention to the career panel in front of him.
[Occupation Core Skill: Absolute Focus lv3 (Active)]
In addition to this, there was also a new skill that had just been lit up not long ago – [Aura Flicker lv1 (Passive)].
What Lu Yuan was mainly looking at was also this skill.
[Flash of Aura lv1] (Passive) Effect: There is a lower probability of triggering the appearance of inspiration of wisdom, thoughts, and ideas under higher intelligence.
This second core skill unlocked under the [Student] profession was something that Lu Yuan hadn’t understood even after studying it for a few days.
“It feels like the low probability of triggering is simply outrageous, eight exams in the final exams, and surprisingly, I haven’t triggered it once.
Instead, it seems like it triggered once or twice while practicing martial arts .”
Actually, Lu Yuan wasn’t too sure if those two times were considered successful triggers or not.
Once was when practicing the Crane Pile.
Without entering the lv3 unconscious instinctive state of [Absolute Concentration], Lu Yuan had been stuck at the sixteenth movement and had been unable to do it.
However, during one of his practice sessions, he suddenly had a “buzz” for no reason.
It was as if a switch in his brain was suddenly turned on, and a large number of images about the practice of the Crane Pile came rushing out.
The body was instructed by an inexplicable command to complete the sixteenth movement naturally, as if it had opened up.
The second time it appeared was during the actual combat sparring session with Lin Zhiqin.
It was a similar experience.
His brain switched on, his body responded, and he threw an extremely “beautiful” kick, even forcing Lin Zhiqin to take half a step back, his face showing a moment of emotion.
“It’s like the blitz setting in an online game.
The [Flash of Light] allows me to have a certain probability of hitting a Godly Strike that far exceeds my usual state while studying or in battle!
It’s a pity that my current ‘Strike Rate’ is too low.
Isn’t the probability of triggering it related to another factor besides relying heavily on human luck?”
Lu Yuan’s 11-point intelligence brain was running at high speed, constantly analyzing.
He suddenly quickened his pace, ducking from the blazing hot light into the cover of a shadow, and his eyes flickered at the same time.
One word popped up in his mind-
Stress!
“Dad, you’re home so early today?”
Lu Yuan returned home just in time to see his dad, Lu Xinghua, walking out of his small store carrying a sack.
The sack did not know what was in it, and it looked heavy.
“Well, your grandfather will be discharged from the hospital in two more days.”
Lu Xinghua carried the sack straight toward the trash can placed on the roadside in front of the store, Lu Yuan curiously went over to look.
But was mom Zheng Qiuling a shout called back.
“What’s there to see, it’s all dead rats!”
Dead rats?
Lu Yuan’s heart thumped, instantly recalling the super giant rat that attacked him that he encountered at the entrance of the alley when he returned home at night a few days ago.
“Are there a lot of rats in the store these two days?”
Lu Yuan pretended to ask carelessly, but his eyes quickly searched the ceiling and other corners of the small store.
“Who knows where they suddenly appeared from.”
Zheng Qiuling’s expression also became a bit ugly, and lowered her voice: “There was another one this morning that all ran up to the back of my feet, luckily there were no guests in the store at the time, the storehouse.”
“Okay, talk less, still think things are not enough is it.”
Lu Xinghua walked over and impatiently interrupted.
Zheng Qiuling closed her mouth.
Lu Xinghua turned to instruct Lu Yuan again, ”You don’t go out and talk nonsense either.
Who owns a grain and oil store doesn’t have a few rats in their house.
I’ve already gotten someone to come and take care of them.
Vacation is long overdue, hurry up and go up to read and review, don’t blindly wander around all day and night, it’s disturbing to watch.”
Lu Yuan responded “Oh”, not daring to say that he had just finished his exams and was already on summer vacation.
Dad Lu Xinghua has lost a circle of weight during this period of time, more than a month ago, he still had the heart to help Lu Yuan enroll in martial arts classes, and asked him about his studies from time to time.
Now he doesn’t even care if he is taking the final exam.
The pressures and trivialities of life had overwhelmed the man in front of him, exhausted and irritated.
“The house is haunted by rats, proving that the giant rat must not have gotten far and is hiding nearby.”
Lu Yuan analyzed in his head as he went upstairs.
This conclusion caused a few moments of uneasiness to well up underneath his heart.
The last time he encountered the giant rat, the beast’s swiftness and ferocity had left an extremely deep impression on him.
It was hard for him to imagine what would happen to an ordinary person if they were to accidentally encounter it.
But on the contrary, he didn’t have any good ways to deal with it, even the police could only let people pay more attention to themselves, he couldn’t just drill into the sewers in the middle of summer to look for it.
