NOVPUBWu Bin opened the system shop and found that, as usual, three skills had been refreshed.
Wu Bin turned his attention to the first skill.
[Catastrophe Body (Passive): When someone around the host falls ill because of the host, the host receives one Catastrophe Point. Catastrophe Points can be used to exchange for exclusive skills, exchange price: 100 Life Coins]
After seeing this skill, Wu Bin fell into silence.
This skill... has something special.
Others suffer while I get rich?
It’s a pity that there are restrictions; it only works if the illness is caused by myself.
Otherwise, if I stayed in the hospital for a few days, I could probably max out those Catastrophe Points.
Since Wu Bin’s Catastrophe Points were at 0, he couldn’t unlock the Catastrophe Shop, so he didn’t know what exclusive skills could be exchanged.
But with such a domineering name, it must be that the skills available for exchange wouldn’t be too shabby.
Wu Bin then shifted his gaze to the second skill.
[Immortal Grasp (Passive): When the skill is activated, every physical contact with an opponent will permanently steal their strength, lasting one minute, with a cooldown of one day. Exchange price: 100 Life Coins]
Hissss!
Upon seeing this skill, Wu Bin couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.
This passive is awesome!
Permanently steal the opponent’s strength!
Permanently!
Does that mean I just need to find some unlucky person to touch for a minute every day, and I can stack up strength?
Wu Bin looked carefully at the system’s explanation of strength values, becoming even more excited.
The system’s concept of strength value is a holistic reflection.
It includes one’s vitality, energy, spirit, and even intelligence and emotional quotient.
Generally, a person’s strength has a limit.
That’s why people feel energetic and full of life upon waking but feel exhausted by evening, needing sleep to replenish their strength.
So the stealing mentioned here by the system is actually the theft of the target’s current strength.
It will make the person feel weak for a short time, but a good sleep can make them recover.
But for Wu Bin, it’s different.
The strength he steals is directly converted into permanent attributes, which Wu Bin retains.
It can be understood that as he steals more and more strength, Wu Bin’s health bar will become thicker, and aspects like vitality, energy, spirit, intelligence, emotional quotient, immunity, and the like will be comprehensively enhanced!
Wu Bin couldn’t stop smiling.
Doesn’t this mean that as long as I persist in using Immortal Grasp every day, I might become immortal?
Damn system, you’ve finally done something right!
While Wu Bin was reflecting, he turned his gaze to the third skill.
[Supreme Command (Active): Designate a target, and when the skill is activated, it will provide the host with options for the illness to strike based on the target’s health condition, with a cooldown of one day. Exchange price: 100 Life Coins]
Seeing this skill, Wu Bin’s eyes lit up.
Isn’t this the skill I’ve been looking for?
But what does it mean by providing illness strike options based on the target’s health condition?
As Wu Bin pondered this, Song Bing on the side spoke up, "Old Wu, look quick, it’s Wang Xin’s turn to go on stage."
It must be said that the children of the wealthy truly have a grasp on bearing.
With the background music starting, Wang Xin walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of the public.
After getting on stage, Wang Xin waved to the crowd below, prompting a chorus of screams from his female fans.
Wu Bin was somewhat surprised.
"Does this Wang Xin have so many female fans?"
Song Bing curled his lip disdainfully and said, "After all, having money at home, these women all want to marry into a wealthy family, so naturally he has more fans."
"Changing girlfriends every week, and yet there are still women lining up for him."
Song Bing’s tone was dripping with sarcasm as he spoke.
One girlfriend a week!
They had been studying at the Agricultural University for almost a semester, and they didn’t even have girlfriends.
The most heart-wrenching thing was that if they found girlfriends at the Agricultural University, it was possible that the girl had dated Wang Xin before, which was terribly upsetting.
After Wang Xin took the stage, he greeted the students below with poised elegance.
The host also gave him a lot of face, smiling as he introduced him.
"I believe all the students are familiar with him. This is our Agricultural University’s senior, Wang Xin, and he is also a regular guest at our annual Oath-taking Ceremony."
"For some of the new students, let me introduce. Wang Xin is not only an outstanding student at our Agricultural University but also an honorary graduate student of the Agricultural University’s Research Institute. It’s safe to say that senior Wang Xin is a role model for many of our juniors and sisters. This time, the Oath-taking Ceremony will be led by senior Wang Xin in reciting the oath, which I believe will greatly inspire all of us."
Xue Qiang curled his lip.
"This host really knows how to suck up. Who knows how much the Wang Family gave him."
"The PR department of the Agricultural University," Song Bing hummed from the side. "That department’s biggest boss is the Wang Family, the equivalent of Wang Xin being their young master. How could they not lavish praise on him?"
"But don’t be nervous, Old Wu. When it’s your turn up there later, you can give yourself an introduction, titles like the image spokesperson or something. Just go for it."
"Out in the world, face is something you give yourself. You must not be shy."
Wu Bin smiled faintly, but didn’t speak.
At that moment, all his attention was on Wang Xin.
After a few humble words from Wang Xin, the official oath began.
The host stepped aside, letting Wang Xin stand in the center of the stage.
At the same time, several cameras began to take close-up shots of Wang Xin from different angles.
Such filming had been rehearsed many times in advance.
After all, in this era where traffic is king, Wang Xin needed to build his popularity if he wanted to take over the Wang Family’s mantle.
And this Oath-taking Ceremony was the Wang Family’s trial balloon to promote Wang Xin to the whole internet.
The Wang Family not only hired the best operational team to manage the event but also spent a lot of money to bring in famous journalists and internet celebrities to live stream the event.
Before Wang Xin even opened his mouth to speak, the number of people watching the live broadcast online had already surpassed three hundred thousand.
Under everyone’s gaze, Wang Xin held the microphone in one hand and raised his fist with the other, shouting loudly, "Students of Modu, all rise!"
At Wang Xin’s shout, Wu Bin and the others were shocked.
It was just an oath, brother, was there a need to be so agitated?
Then Wang Xin quickly got into the groove.
His eyes were resolute as he continued to shout:
"On a silver saddle and a white horse, we chase the dreams of our youth!"
"All soldiers, raise your right fists and take the oath with me!"
Wu Bin listened and became more and more confused.
All soldiers?
No, big brother, this is a high school oath-taking ceremony, not a military deployment.
"All soldiers" what nonsense!
Wu Bin suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Thinking that he would have to follow up after Wang Xin finished, Wu Bin felt even more social death looming.
It was at this moment that Wang Xin began to chant slogans.
"Set clear goals, embrace your dreams!"
"Seize today, strengthen your faith!"
