"It's a panaja snake, an amphibious snake with strong venom! Get rid of the poison quickly! " Garon reacted immediately and recognized the snake. He hadn't spent all this time in this world filtering filter for nothing. He had memorized most of the common knowledge of this world. Plus, when he was young in the countryside, Garon had encountered this snake before, so he recognized it immediately.
After speaking, Garon kicked out a pebble.
Smack!
The pebble hit the side of the black snake, scaring it so much that it quickly swam back into the water. It quickly disappeared into the lake, leaving behind a faint ripple.
"How do I get rid of the poison!?" Fayne's cousin, Fiona, was the only girl who hadn't been bitten. She spoke with a sobbing tone.
"Wash it with water first, then find some poplar leaves, chew them up, and apply them!" Garon said loudly.
At this time, both boys and girls were at a loss. His composure as an adult was immediately apparent. He directed the boys to find poplar leaves, and the girls were responsible for cleaning the bitten girl's wound and squeezing out some of the poisoned blood. It was quickly done. The bitten girl looked like she wanted to cry, but she held it in.
Felicity stood up from the ground and combed her messy hair and skirt. She looked at Garon, who was calmly giving out orders, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "I'll remember this favor for my friend," she said calmly as she carefully supported her friend.
"It's just a small matter," Garon shrugged. With his mental age, he naturally wouldn't remember such a small thing. "Of course, if you really want to thank me, I like to admire old jewelry. If you have one, it would be best if you could lend it to me to admire …"
His gaze faintly fell on Felicity's white neck, where she wore a blue-black leather rope.
Just as he approached, the Potential Percentage at the bottom of his vision jumped again, and this time it jumped by two bars, from 89% to 92%. This made him certain that Felicity definitely had Potential Jewelry on her, and it might be of a much higher level than the Black Pearl.
"Jewelry?" Felicity frowned slightly.
Fayne also came over and explained with a bitter smile. "Garon loves to appreciate old jewelry the most. He didn't want to come this time. If I didn't say that I could show him the family jewels, this guy definitely wouldn't have come!"
"You want to be a jewelry appraiser?" Felicity asked. After some thought, she turned her hands around and untied the black rope around her neck.
Only then did everyone see what was hanging from the rope. It was a diamond-shaped light blue crystal. It was about the size of a fingernail, and it actually contained a small silver ring.
"This is an old piece of jewelry I found a while back. You're interested in this, right?" Felicity handed the crystal to Garon.
Garon took the crystal and glanced at it. This crystal was not a valuable item, but it looked very old. "Very beautiful …" Just as he held it in his hand, he felt a scorching heat surge out of the crystal and into his finger.
The potential at the bottom of his vision shot up like a rocket.
92%...98%....103%....132%.....177%...181%！
The potential percentage finally came to a stop at 181%.
Garon looked at the crystal in his hand. He felt as if something was slowly disappearing from the crystal, but there was no change in its appearance or anything else. Suppressing the joy in his heart, he carefully handed the crystal over. "It's a very nice crystal. If possible, can I hear the story behind this crystal?"
Felicity took it and was stunned. "You know about it?"
"Know about what? Does this thing have a history? " The others, who had finally finished treating their wounds, finally let out a sigh of relief. Now, seeing the two of them talking to each other, the red-haired girl who had just been bitten by the snake became interested and came over to ask.
"A little." Felicity nodded. "It's called the Ring of Misfortune. It's said that the owner who wears it will encounter all kinds of misfortune and eventually die an unnatural death. But I don't believe that this thing can kill people. And I'm especially interested in this, so I spent money to get my hands on it and try it on myself. But there are too many imitations of the Ring of Misfortune in this world. Mine might not be the real one. "
Garon nodded. There was indeed a very popular story behind this crystal. The two jewels that he had absorbed Potential from before also had stories behind them, both good and bad. This made him even more certain of his guess.
Only jewels with a story could absorb Potential.
"You're too daring. What if it's real?" "The previous owner died an unnatural death. Is it real or fake?" The two girls recovered and began to ask Felicity about the story of the crystal.
Garon absorbed the Potential. He walked to the side of the lake and pretended to wash his hands and face.
"I've already tested my strength last time. There's indeed a big change. So what attribute should I add it to this time?"
His gaze once again wandered over the four attributes.
"Physique is my weakness. But Physique, Strength, and Agility can all be trained. As for Intelligence, I don't know what to do."
He was silent for a while. His gaze focused on Strength, Intelligence, and Physique.
"Generally speaking, if I add too many points, I won't be able to achieve much. Only Specialization can give me the greatest advantage. Since I've already added one point to Strength, adding another is a path. But … if only I could add points separately … "He suddenly had this thought.
All of a sudden, the flow of energy in his mind split into three and entered his Strength, Vitality, and Intelligence attributes respectively.
Garon felt his whole body tremble. An inexplicable numbness spread from his head to the rest of his body.
In just a few seconds, his body returned to normal.
He only felt that his body seemed to be stronger and heavier. His mind also seemed to have become clearer. Some of the things that he hadn't figured out in his studies before suddenly came rushing back. Some of them actually naturally made sense.
After getting used to it, Garon looked at the various attributes at the bottom of his vision again.
Strength 0.44, Agility 0.23, Physique 0.31, Intelligence 0.36. Potential 81%.
Strength increased by 0.03, Physique by 0.03, Intelligence by 0.04.
"It's an almost average way of adding points!" Garon was slightly stunned. "Then what's the use of Intelligence?" He started to carefully examine his body.
Shengying Academy was a standard aristocratic academy. It was also the so-called specialization of cultivating geniuses. As long as he was strong in one subject, it didn't matter if he was weak in the rest. Zhaoyang could directly enter the Shengying Academy. However, Garon didn't plan to go to Shengying Academy. That was a route for the rich and powerful who didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Most students were more focused on improving their overall results and getting into a real prestigious school.
And this required them to be good in all subjects.
*****
At night.
In a residential area in the south of Huaishan City, in a high-rise room of a red-roofed building.
The purple-haired and red-eyed Garon was sitting in front of his desk. Under the dim light of the yellow desk lamp, he was reading a book in front of him.
The delicate paper gently brushed against his fingers. It was smooth and soft. In front of him was a social history book.
Clang … Clang … Clang …
The dull sound of a clock tower faintly came from outside the window.
Garon looked out the window. The building opposite him was pitch black. There was no light at all. "It's already 12 o 'clock? Just in time to analyze the use of Intelligence … "
At this time, the sound of a light being turned off came from his sister's room.
Garon stood up and lay on his bed. He rested his head on his hands.
"My comprehensive memory has improved slightly. My logical analysis has also become clearer and faster. Most importantly, my short-term analysis and calculation ability has improved … I've also managed to get some basic knowledge of social history, which Garon hated the most. According to the game, at this level, my social history should be at the beginner level. There should be intermediate and advanced levels after that. I've completely mastered it. There are three levels. "
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the five attributes in front of his eyes flashed. There was an additional line of symbols. Garon was stunned.
"What the f * ck … You can do this?" He suddenly stood up from his bed and looked speechlessly at the new symbols that appeared.
The faint red symbols appeared clearly at the bottom of his vision.
Skills Mastered: (Social History: Beginner. Prerequisite: Intelligence above 0.34.)
Garon looked at this line of symbols repeatedly in shock. After more than ten minutes, he finally confirmed that this thing had really appeared at the bottom of his vision.
Just like the other attributes, there were only a few tiny symbols. If he did not pay attention, he would have missed it. Moreover, when he was not paying attention, these red symbols would automatically enter a semi-invisible state. It would not affect his vision at all.
Just as this new line of symbols appeared, Garon once again recalled all the content of the social history class. At least seventy to eighty percent of the content could be easily recalled. It was as if it had been deeply engraved in his mind.
"I've only carefully read through this class today, and now it's almost as if I have an eidetic memory … Looks like this is the benefit of adding points to Intelligence. It seems like different difficult subjects have different requirements for Intelligence. Moreover, different levels of mastery also have different requirements for Intelligence. "
After that, Garon did not feel sleepy at all. He turned around and looked for the textbooks for all the subjects.
He took them out one by one and tried them out.
Half an hour later …
"The prerequisite is that I have to read through the entire book before I can set up a project. In the past, Garon only mastered one subject in a year. Sinology … and it's still at the same beginner level."
Garon was completely speechless as he let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at the symbols in his vision.
Main subjects: (Mathematics: Beginner), (Sinology: Beginner), (Social History: Beginner), (Foreign Language: Beginner), (Physics: Beginner).
Mathematics, Sinology, History, Foreign Language, and Physics. These five subjects were the main subjects that all academies had to take. There were no exceptions because the National Entrance Examination was testing these five subjects.
Garon recalled the specific score comparison.
"In the past, Garon's score in the National Entrance Examination was between 60 and 70 out of 100 points in every exam. In other words, this range is at the beginner level. If I'm not wrong, then my history score should be between 60 and 70 points. With such a score, I'm definitely in the bottom ten in my class. "
"According to Shengying's results over the years, the key universities in the National Entrance Examination have to be at least in the top 100 to get a ticket to a key university. It's not too difficult to get into the top 100 in a class with thousands of students. " He thought about how Garon's parents worked overtime every day so that the siblings could afford the tuition and accommodation fees. They usually only had less than a day off on weekends. They had placed all their hopes on the siblings.
"If nothing goes wrong, the average score for the top 100 is at least between 70 and 80. It seems that if I can get an average score of intermediate or above in my main subject, I'll be able to get into a key university. But if I improve, so will others. If the questions are simple, it'll depend on who's careful enough. "
Garon slowly analyzed these problems. "If only I could absorb potential from Finn's family heirloom black crystal … I could almost add another point. He suddenly remembered what happened at Jadewave Lake and felt a little regretful.
