I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 15

Chapter 15: I Didn’t Expect There Would Really Be Someone Who…

Zhou Zhengyang and the other teachers were puzzled. Could it be that Li Feng’s reputation for being addicted to games had spread throughout the school, causing the school to lose face, and the principal had come to personally address the matter?

The students below also quieted down. Since Principal Ye had spoken, the rankings for the Summer Dungeon Hunt were set.

However, some students were still indignant. “This ranking is ridiculous. The most hateful thing is that Li Feng had such good luck. He just played games casually and still got first place.”

This was the thought of most students. Yang Wei being a rich second generation was one thing, but why could Li Feng also get first place?

“It’s just luck. But no matter how lucky you are, if you don’t have the ability, you’ll eventually suffer a great misfortune,” Jiang Sheng said lightly, as if he had let go of his grudge.

Lin Ling’er pursed her lips and said nothing. Xu Luo and Chen Dali both looked unconvinced.

………

On the bus, Li Feng was focused on leveling up his Assassin character, completely unaware of the students’ thoughts outside. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

Ye Buzhou boarded the bus and immediately saw Li Feng sitting there playing games. He smiled, walked over, and sat down beside Li Feng. “Young man, you really like playing games.”

“I don’t,” Li Feng replied without looking up.

Ye Buzhou’s mouth twitched. He reluctantly smiled, “Hehe, if you don’t like it, why are you always addicted to playing games?”

He felt like cursing. Everyone in the school knew he loved playing games.

“You don’t understand!” Li Feng’s answer was concise and powerful. If the game couldn’t extract skills, he wouldn’t be addicted to it.

Ye Buzhou took a deep breath, resisting the urge to get up and leave. “How can I understand if you don’t tell me?”

“Those who understand me don’t need an explanation. Those who don’t understand me, why should I explain?”

“I #@!.” At this moment, Ye Buzhou’s mind was filled with curse words. He wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start. He could only stare at Li Feng with a gloomy gaze.

Sitting in his seat, Li Feng suddenly shivered, as if a powerful malice had targeted him. He quickly put away his phone and saw an unfamiliar old man sitting beside him. He put on a well-behaved appearance and said, “Hello, old sir. What’s wrong? Do you need help? I’m happy to assist you.”

He was cursing inwardly. This old guy is so old, yet he’s still trying to scare me.

Ye Buzhou sneered inwardly. It seemed that force was still the best method. He said, “Young man, I think highly of you. With the Gaokao approaching, I want to ask, do you have a university in mind? Perhaps I can recommend one to you.”

“Hmm!”

Li Feng looked at the old man in surprise, not expecting him to ask such a question. However, after comparing their strength, he answered honestly, “Beihai Academy is close, although it’s a bit of a stretch. I still like it. Fengdu Academy is also okay, but it’s farther away. As for Yanhua Academy in the capital, it looks good, but the cost of living there is higher.”

Although Li Feng seemed indifferent to the Gaokao, he actually had a certain understanding of it. These three schools were his targets.

“Beihai Academy is a stretch, Fengdu Academy is also okay, Yanhua Academy is not bad.” Ye Buzhou silently repeated to himself to calm down. He felt like he had jinxed himself today by talking to this student who was showing off. It took him several minutes to suppress the urge to curse. “The three universities you mentioned are the top three universities in our Great Xia Nation. Are you confident you can get in?” If he didn’t know about Li Feng’s hidden strength, Ye Buzhou would have already started scolding him.

◈◈◈

Li Feng nodded seriously and said, “Yes, that’s right. What’s wrong?”

“Don’t you think your goals are a little bit too high?” Ye Buzhou said lightly, “Although your Beginner skill is very powerful, it’s still very difficult to get into these three universities. I recommend you go to Jianye Academy. This academy is not inferior to the three major universities.”

Towards the end, Ye Buzhou raised his confidence a little, glancing sideways at Li Feng, as if saying, “I know about your hidden Beginner skill. Don’t show off your little bit of strength in front of me.”

“There’s still a month before the Gaokao. I’m confident,” Li Feng said lightly. He didn’t know how this old man knew about his Beginner skill. Perhaps it was leaked from the Thunderbolt Gobzan dungeon. But even if people knew, it didn’t matter. A month was enough time for him to extract another powerful skill. By then, his strength would have changed drastically.

Thinking of this, he added, “I won’t go to the academy you mentioned. It’s full of rich and powerful second-generation kids. The atmosphere is too bad.”

Li Feng had also learned about Jianye Academy. It was a gathering place for the children of wealthy families. However, the reason he wouldn’t go was not because he couldn’t get in, but because he was poor.

“Why?” Ye Buzhou didn’t believe the bad atmosphere excuse and pressed on.

Li Feng gave him a blank look and didn’t want to talk. But under the threat in the other’s eyes, he honestly said, “Because I’m poor.”

Ye Buzhou twitched his beard. He didn’t expect this reason. This word was too distant for him. He said with some emotion, “I didn’t expect there would really be someone who couldn’t attend an academy because they didn’t have money.”

Li Feng silently turned away and took out his phone again, the meaning clear: I don’t want to talk to you anymore. It was always others who were so angry they didn’t want to talk to him. He didn’t expect to be on the receiving end of it one day.

Could this be what is often said, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who has the heavens spared?

“Ahem!” Ye Buzhou coughed lightly. “I can discuss this issue with Jianye Academy. Perhaps they can waive your four years of tuition and fees because of your talent.”

“Really? There’s such a good thing?”

Li Feng’s eyes widened, with little stars flickering in them. He excitedly grabbed Ye Buzhou’s hands. “Are you serious?”

His parents were dead, and he could barely afford high school tuition. Going to university was even more of a pipe dream. He didn’t expect someone to offer help now.

“Of course, but you have to show your powerful talent. At least for now, your talent is not enough. Those who can enter Jianye Academy are either rich or noble. There are probably quite a few who have mastered Beginner skills,” Ye Buzhou said truthfully.

He was very open-minded. Although he valued Li Feng’s talent, relying on just one skill was probably not enough.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll just casually get the top score in the Gaokao. That should be enough to prove my qualifications, right?” Li Feng patted his chest and assured him.

Ye Buzhou really couldn’t take it anymore this time. He stood up and snorted, “If you can get the top score in the Gaokao, I promise to pay for your four years of tuition and fees at Jianye.”
