Du Wei was still a rather magnanimous man. Once he removed Qin Guan from the chat group, he added him back to the group half an hour later.
‘Forget it. The Parapsychology Association is short of hands right now. I shouldn’t act so pettily with a kid…’ he comforted himself.
Qin Guan had a vague understanding now. While people like Du Wei had high levels and stats, they did not have any sort of advantages when it came to the trials and increasing their ranks.
In the trial, all the people’s physical attributes were the same. None of the additional stats could be brought into the game.
Of course, investigators like Du Wei still had an advantage over normal people. However, they could not compare against the top 500 of the world.
If his talent had been that great, would he still be a normal investigator in the Parapsychology Association now?
The meeting was postponed for another two days before it was finally held.
Qin Guan ha a guess about it. Du Wei would probably rveal some information regarding the Parapsychology Association and how to use spirit power to fight during the class meeting. Why else would he ask for the class to complete the third trial?
Once he completed the third trial, Qin Guan had noticed that he had become different.
If he spoke in terms of the system’s data plane, it only allowed the players to receive the rewards and add the free stat points after completing the three trials, which was similar to guiding the players and filtering the good from the bad. Now, they were on the right track.
From his personal standpoint, Qin Guan noticed that his senses had become sharper while using the body of the Transcended Gamer. He could even notice the slightest bits of spirit.
It was similar to air, but its presence was stronger. Still, he could only sense a little of it when he focused his attention.
The spirit was scattered all around him. There was also a little spirit in him. However, he could not sense it clearly.
Qin Guan looked forward to Du Wei giving a clear explanation on what exactly this spirit was and how he was supposed to use it. If he did so, Qin Guan could increase his fighting power.
Right then, he felt like an assault rifle that had been tuned to perfection. Everything about him was great, but he did not have any bullets.
Su Xiaoyu also managed to clear If You’re a Man, Last for Five Seconds, even though she was not a man.
She could be considered very fast with such an achievement, and she even managed to secure a place on the ranking board—she was ranked in the 400s.
However, she mentioned that she could not sense the spirits. She could not sense them in the slightest.
Qin Guan pondered about it for a while before deciding that this was probably related to his SS.
Based on the attribute descriptions, SS represented perception, and it definitely involved the ability to see spirit.
Su Xiaoyu cleared the trials with the student character. She said that her STR, SPR, and SS were, respectively, 6, 6, and 3. She had not allocated the free status points she received later either.
With the difference between her SS points and Qin Guan’s so great, there was definitely a difference between their perception.
However, this should not be too much of a problem. Everyone’s total at the start was the same; it was just that the distribution was different. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
Once they received their free status points, they could use them however they wanted and make up for their disadvantages.
Qin Guan originally wanted to give Su Xiaoyu one of his Necklaces of Distress, but she had already received one. She had cleared Jump!! in Hard Mode a long time ago.
Furthermore, Qin Guan found out that he could not give her the item even if he wanted. If Su Xiaoyu wore the necklace Qin Guan gave her, it would not have any special effects. It would just be an accessory.
Based on Strong Boy’s explanation, the systems currently did not support trade between players. Giving others items was considered a form of trading, so it could not be done.
Hence, even if Qin Guan wanted to share, he could not do anything about it for the time being.
…
Before Qin Guan went to the meeting, he learned from the chat group that up to that moment, only a pitiful seven people in the official class had cleared all three trials and truly gained the status of Transcended Gamer
But if there were already seven people who managed to clear the trial in one class of one university, there would surely be many real Transcended Gamers in the world. Based on the statistics though, they would still be considered as rare.
Judging by the looks of it, the Spirit Association originally wanted to wait until all the people in the official class had cleared the third trial before they held the meeting, but a slight divergence had appeared in their plan.
If they truly continued waiting, then the meeting might be postponed for another month or even a few…
That was why they decided to hold the meeting anyway. They could not help it if there were only a few people from each class that could attend. With that being the case, they could only gather all the people who cleared the third trial into one class.
There were only seven or eight real Transcended Gamers in each year among the undergraduates. When all the undergraduates, Master’s students, and Ph.D. students were added together, there were only around fifty-sixty students who had cleared the third trial.
This was a selection that involved the whole university, but after a few more selections, only one class was left. It truly felt as lonely as hell.
The Parapsychology Association was probably also troubled. They originally thought that they would get many talents, but why did they get fewer and fewer people as they continued filtering the students?
Fortunately, the system did not launch a fourth trial, or else there would truly be only a few people left among the young talents.
This time, they had decided to hold the meeting in a small classroom. The meeting was still held at night, but the difference was that the investigators who were originally in charge of providing the explanations now stood outside the classroom on guard duty.
The glory to provide the explanation landed on Du Wei’s shoulders, though no one knew whether this was because his rank was high or low…
Two members of the Parapsychology Association stood at the entrance and discussed things quietly among themselves.
“Do you think there’s someone among the top 500 in there?”
“I think so, but I can’t really tell. There are so many people in the world, and it’s really difficult to be among the top 500 while you have to contend with billions of people in the world. You’ll need to have crazy talent to do so.”
“Indeed, but these students are really making us feel bad. Many of us haven’t even cleared the third trial yet…”
“I can only say that ever since the mobile AI systems appeared, the world has been moving in a different direction…”
The members of the Parapsychology Association were a rather sad bunch. They were originally an organization with only a few people that shouldered a great task to maintain peace in the world.
Perhaps it was not at the scale of world peace, but they did at least maintain the peace in the country.
However, once the AIs appeared, plenty of normal people could clear the trials and gain control of spirit power. But what aggravated them the most was that most high school students and university students could stand superior to them in terms of talent…
But talent was just talent. If they were to talk about real fighting power, these members were definitely still stronger than the students. In fact, they were much stronger.
When Qin Guan entered through the door, he saw Xiao Qiang’s sleazy face.
‘Excuse me?!
‘There’s something wrong with this. We’ve already reached the third trial, so why are you still hanging around like a cockroach?
‘Aren’t you too good at being a cockroach? Am I the one who’s cheating, or are you the one who’s cheating?!’
Qin Guan sat down beside Xiao Qiang with an expression of disbelief. “No, wait, I don’t understand something. How did a noob like you manage to clear the third trial?”
Xiao Qiang put on an indignant expression. “Come on. I’m also very good at games, you know? When I play games and troll all of you, I’m just increasing the difficulty for you to do some… weight training. I did this so you could improve your gaming skills… Ahem. Hello, senior sister.”
When Xiao Qiang saw Su Xiaoyu sit down beside Qin Guan, he immediately put on a serious face.
Each year only had from seven to eight students who had cleared the trial. Hence, there was no need to divide the classes further. They could sit wherever they wanted.
This time, Qin Guan sat at the second row. Even though he still felt rather uncomfortable, since Du Wei was the one on the podium, he did not feel scared.
At that moment, he felt several pairs of eyes trained on his back.
Once he had officially become a Transcended Gamers, his senses had become even sharper. He could even vaguely feel intangible things such as gazes.
The boys who sat a few rows behind him sized him up.
“That’s Su Xiaoyu’s older brother? He doesn’t seem like anything special.”
“When I see the Goddess sit beside another boy, I always feel a little unhappy!”
“Don’t look down on him. All those who can enter this class are not ordinary people.”
“We aren’t ordinary people as well!”
