3: Chapter 3 Careers

Inside the room.

Many girls had just run out following Shu Qianxue.

But some girls stayed behind, covering their eyes while peeking through the gaps between their fingers at Qi Yun's perfect physique and massive muscles.

Bai Yu was the sole exception.

Bai Yu walked slowly toward Qi Yun; being unarmored seemed to have no effect on her at all.

"Your behavior has a high emotional coefficient, but the risk-reward ratio is negative. If we lose you, our only adult male, the group's survival probability will drop directly by 39%."

"As the team captain, I hope you will make more prudent decisions in the future."

Bai Yu was a genius student admitted through a special recruitment program. Unlike the others, she had transferred into this class voluntarily, the reason being that it was easy to request leave from this class.

After all, internet celebrities, national-level female athletes, and the like would occasionally be busy with their own affairs.

The school tacitly accepted this situation of frequent absences from the classroom.

Bai Yu had always given off the impression of having a very unique way of thinking; back in that space earlier, she hadn't panicked or cried either.

Qi Yun looked at the girl hailed as a genius before him, momentarily unsure how to respond.

She was right; he had simply gambled and won.

Bai Yu looked at those suddenly tensed muscles, her tone remaining flat and emotionless:

"I understand this is a normal phenomenon. Is there any method to make it soften quickly?"

"I believe we need to establish our next course of action as soon as possible, and these tensed muscles of yours will cause most of the girls' thinking to become disorganized, making rational discussion impossible."

This girl really doesn't beat around the bush at all!

Qi Yun's face flushed, complaining inwardly.

I want to calm it down too, but with so many top-tier girls unarmored in front of me right now, I have absolutely no control over it.

Qi Yun coughed twice and said helplessly.

"Ahem, if I reach Ascension, it should probably calm down very quickly."

"But I'm exhausted right now. I suppose it'll only calm down once I get used to seeing it."

Hearing that Ascension could solve it quickly.

Without a hint of hesitation, Bai Yu immediately reached out her fair, tender hand toward the target.

"I have never done something like this before; I hope the difficulty isn't high."

"Time at the start is exceptionally precious. To improve the team's survival rate, every minute is valuable."

Holy crap! You're serious?! Qi Yun and the girls covering their eyes were all stunned.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Ke Yun, who had felt it was beneath a teacher's dignity to run out just now, returned to see this shocking scene and immediately shouted for them to stop.

Bai Yu, being stopped, appeared quite dissatisfied; Qi Yun could feel this from the pressure coming from her tender hand.

Bai Yu's tone carried a hint of anger.

"Please give me a rational explanation. I am very dissatisfied with this."

Does this even need an explanation?

Ke Yun had known for a long time that this genius girl's thought process was different from normal people and that she lacked common sense.

At this moment, she had an even clearer realization of it.

Nevertheless, Ke Yun took a deep breath and tried to explain in as calm a tone as possible.

"Student Bai Yu, in modern society, men and women cannot engage in this kind of behavior without having an established relationship."

Bai Yu looked at Ke Yun doubtfully. Judging by the pressure she was applying, she was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

"I cannot understand the logical relationship there. Why must a relationship be established before doing such a thing? Moreover, I don't think we are currently in modern society."

"If Qi Yun were unwilling, he would use words to stop me."

With that said, the two of them looked at Qi Yun.

At this moment, blood had rushed to Qi Yun's head, his eyes were dazed, and his brain had long since stopped thinking.

Seeing Qi Yun's dazed and foolish look, and recalling how he had just fought for the whole class, Ke Yun found it hard to say anything harsh.

"No means no."

Knowing that an explanation wouldn't work, Ke Yun simply threw caution to the wind and gave an order in a commanding tone.

"Ke Yun, every minute you stop me now is causing our probability of survival here to decrease."

"Every minute we seize now might mean one less person dying in the future."

"Your behavior is tantamount to killing."

The cold and realistic words stung deep into Ke Yun's heart.

She wanted to argue, but there was no counterargument.

Seeing that Ke Yun didn't reply, Bai Yu said thoughtfully.

"If you have more experience than I do, perhaps you could use this action to make up for the time we've lost."

Ke Yun's face instantly turned beet red.

...

A few minutes later, Ke Yun walked out the door with a complex expression.

"Students, we're having a brief meeting now. Everyone, come inside the house."

The female students who had just gone out had found some massive leaves nearby and distributed them to everyone.

Shu Qianxue's face still showed some lingering flush, but her mood had calmed down a lot.

The moment she entered, her peripheral vision caught those muscles that were no longer tensed.

Her mood improved slightly; as expected, once she left, there was no body left to get Qi Bao excited.

She walked up to Qi Yun, looking down at him, trying her best to put on her usual brotherly attitude, her tone endearingly stubborn.

"I forgive you. As brothers, it's only natural to be understanding of each other."

"Having a brother like me who's willing to let you have your fun is a blessing you've earned over eight lifetimes. Hurry up and say thank you."

Shu Qianxue, who had already covered her body with a leaf, had returned to her usual carefree self.

"Thank you."

Having entered a state of clarity, Qi Yun's tone was now full of peace.

"That's more like it."

Shu Qianxue nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the leaf the girl handed over, Bai Yu shook her head in refusal.

To her, the only function of this leaf would be to hinder her movements.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Qi Yun began to voice his thoughts.

"On my panel, upgrading our base requires wood and stone. I hope everyone can work together now to gather materials."

"The faster our house is upgraded, the safer we will be."

Hearing that it was physical labor, although everyone felt a bit dejected inside, they also knew these were extraordinary times and they had to work together.

"But we don't have tools. What are we going to use to chop trees?"

Xia Jin voiced her concern.

At that moment, a girl raised her hand.

"I have an axe. I just opened my panel and saw that my class is Material Collector. Then an axe appeared in my storage slot."

Only then did everyone remember that the rabbit had said everyone would have their own class. The girls' eyes gradually lit up.

This kind of excitement, similar to opening a blind box, made every girl full of anticipation.

With excited hearts, everyone opened their class panels.

"Oh yeah, we have classes! I want to be able to make the most delicious food!"

"Is the primordial power sealed within my body finally about to awaken?"

"Please let it be a combat type, so I can tear apart those mouths that spoke so rudely to us before!"

Shu Qianxue pumped her fist excitedly: "I want to be a Battle Healer! The kind that saves people while crushing monsters!"

This kind of excitement, similar to opening a blind box, made every girl full of anticipation.

With excited hearts, everyone opened their class panels.

"My class is Supporter. Currently, I only have one skill called Experience Gain Boost, which can increase the experience gained by a designated target by 30%."

Ke Yun brushed back a stray hair by her ear, her mature face seriously looking at the skill description before her.

Qi Yun snapped his gaze toward Teacher Ke, that young homeroom teacher who always tried to maintain a teacher's composure and had quite a high beauty score.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were slightly widened as she looked at her panel, somewhat at a loss.

She didn't seem to fully understand what this talent meant yet.

But Qi Yun understood.

Experience was directly linked to combat power and skills.

What did an experience boost mean?

This was by no means a simple support; this was a growth accelerator!

"Ke Yun..." Qi Yun's voice was a bit dry as he took a step forward and grabbed Ke Yun's hand.

"Confirm it once more. How exactly is the skill described?"

Ke Yun was startled by his rare action, and the heat from his wrist made her cheeks flush slightly.

Sensing the clear information emerging in her mind, she said slowly:

"An increase in experience points gained. Currently, I can only choose 2 targets to receive an additional percentage of experience bonus when they gain experience."

"It can only last for 2 hours for now. The cooldown is 10 hours."

The light in Qi Yun's eyes burned even more intensely!

The experience gained would be 30% more than normal!

The speed at which I become stronger will be a notch faster than everyone else!

If I become strong quickly, it will allow us to challenge more powerful targets and obtain more resources.

Enter more dangerous areas, thereby gaining even more experience!

This is a positive feedback loop that snowballs faster and faster!

It's truly a bug.

Seeing Qi Yun so excited, Ke Yun smiled with relief; she seemed to have been of some use.

"I'm a Material Collector too? How is that possible? Is it because I played too much Minecraft? Wuwu."

"I'm a Chef, hahahahaha."

"I'm a Physician! I can use some materials to make medicine. Yay!!"

Amidst the chaotic voices, Qi Yun organized everyone's classes.

Most of those who awakened had common classes.

But Qi Yun was not disappointed.

After all, as long as they established a Life Connection with him, they could all be transformed into rare classes.

10 Material Collectors could take out various tools at any time to collect materials, and 5 Farmers had bonuses for farming, which served as the foundation for the Tribe's development.

Among the 3 Physicians, Xiao Xue was one of them, and there were also 2 Chefs.

5 Basic Warriors, 1 Blacksmith, and 1 Disassembler.

Besides Ke Yun's Supporter as a special class, Xia Jin had also awakened as a Berserker.

Out of 29 people, there were only two special classes, showing the rarity of special classes.

"Qi Yun, what class did you awaken?"

"Yeah, Qi Bao. Show us your class."

Under everyone's urging, Qi Yun opened his panel.

[Name: Qi Yun]

[Class: Space Controller (Unique Class)]

[Level: lv1]

[(Class Passive) Space Perception: Perception of space is increased, able to sense any changes within 100 meters.]

[(Initial Skill) Space Imprint: You can place a Space Imprint on any object and instantly teleport to the location of the imprint.]

Qi Yun was stunned, a hot, almost trembling sense of excitement surging up from his spine.

Space Imprint—isn't this exactly the same as the Flying Thunder God?

An absolute god-tier skill that integrated attack, reconnaissance, escape, and support into one.

And this was only the initial skill; it would be useful in both the early and late stages.

And Space Perception brought him an equally deep shock; it was a sixth sense distinct from the five senses.

At this moment, the sounds of the outside world, the girls' breathing, and the swaying of the wild grass outside the door were all captured by that cold and vast "perception" that had just awakened within him.

It wasn't sight or hearing; it was a brand new sense that acted directly on the world's "way of existence."

He "saw" it.

"Stop keeping us in suspense, Clan Leader!"

"Qi Bao, hurry up and say it, or I'll tickle you."

Under everyone's expectant gazes, Qi Yun smiled slightly. Having awakened such a powerful skill, he couldn't suppress his emotions either.

"Space Controller."

To modern young people who had been exposed to anime and novels, the word "Space" meant power.

"Waaah, I'm so envious."

"Can you exchange with me, Qi Bao?"

"Qi Bao, do you need a girlfriend? I want to sign up. Wait, do you need a female simp?"

The girls chirped away, sincerely happy for Qi Yun. The emergence of a strong person in this collective meant an extra glimmer of hope for their survival.

"Alright, alright, let Qi Bao rest. He's been running all day and hasn't had a good rest yet."

Shu Qianxue waved her hand to disperse everyone, wanting Qi Yun to rest well and recover his strength.

"There's still an hour before the sun sets. Students with the Material Collector class, let's go collect materials first. Make sure not to go too far from our room."

Ke Yun also suggested.

A moment later, only Qi Yun was left in the room to recover his strength. The other girls had all gone outside, some gathering materials, others familiarizing themselves with their classes.

Starting tomorrow, what awaited them would be a chaotic society without order or law.

As for the matter of the Clan Leader's Blessing and having many children for many blessings, Qi Yun planned to wait until evening to explain it to everyone together.

Using the current time to gather materials was the optimal solution.

This thatched hut not only leaked wind but was also completely unable to keep out the rain.

It had to be upgraded as soon as possible.
