4: Chapter 4: Did the onlookers become the spectacle itself?

Under the astonished gazes of all the girls in the class, she walked all the way over to Lin Qing's side.

Su Mengmeng's action could be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.

The gossip atmosphere that had just calmed down because of a word from Lin Qing instantly revived, and burned even more fiercely than before.

"Oh ho!"

"It's coming, it's coming! The main show is about to begin!"

"What is Mengmeng trying to do? Has she figured it out? Is she getting ready to sacrifice herself for art?"

"I told you so! A handsome man and a beautiful woman, perfectly matched talents, dry firewood and raging fire—if nothing happens between them, it wouldn't do justice to this world's malice!"

The girls' eyes shone one by one as they whispered to each other excitedly. Although their voices were deliberately lowered, that wave of excitement could be felt from eight hundred meters away.

Their gazes shuttled back and forth between Lin Qing and Su Mengmeng, and their ambiguous expressions could practically melt a person.

"Look at you guys, just look at how red Mengmeng's face is. She's definitely going to talk about that matter!"

"She's leaning in! She's leaning in!"

"And they're whispering? Are they going to discuss the action details of recruiting new players? Do they need us to provide technical guidance?"

One bold girl had already clenched her fists in excitement, wishing she could rush up right now and shove the two of them straight onto that luxurious large bed.

In the corner, Shen Zhiyi, who hadn't said much all along, also had a slightly blushing pretty face at this moment.

She looked at Lin Qing and Su Mengmeng, who were surrounded by the crowd, and felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.

On one hand, she felt that this group of people was too shameless, discussing such matters in broad daylight.

On the other hand, her gaze couldn't help but drift toward Lin Qing, and her mind involuntarily recalled that warm and soft touch from earlier, making her heartbeat skip half a beat.

As for Su Xixi, she was completely furious at this moment.

She viciously glared at Su Mengmeng's back, with a gaze that seemed as if she wanted to burn two holes through her body.

"I'm so furious!"

"This Su Mengmeng usually looks quite quiet and introverted, so why is she so proactive whenever she encounters this kind of thing?"

"That idiot Lin Qing, doesn't he even know how to dodge?"

Su Xixi was both angry and anxious inside, yet she didn't know what identity she should use to stop them.

She was just Lin Qing's "bro", not his girlfriend, so by what right could she manage him?

"Ah, is this the perspective of an impotently furious wife?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what wife!"

Monitor Bai Nian had completely given up on treatment.

She leaned against the desk with a face that spelled existential despair.

"As long as you guys are happy, whoever wants to be this monitor can be it, this lady isn't doing it anymore!"

At this moment, there were only two steps between Su Mengmeng and Lin Qing.

Feeling guilty, she glanced back at the group of girls who were so excited they were about to explode on the spot, and then, acting like a thief, quickly leaned into Lin Qing's ear.

A faint fragrance, like milk candy, accompanied by warm breath, gently brushed across Lin Qing's auricle.

It was very light, very fine, very soft, and tingled numbly.

It made the roots of Lin Qing's ears itch.

But what itched even more was his heart.

Su Mengmeng spoke quickly in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's hum:

"Lin Qing, um..."

Her voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling, clearly indicating she was extremely nervous.

"My... my talent isn't just what was mentioned earlier... I also concealed a part of it."

"This talent of mine can also... spread!"

Looking at the guilty-looking Su Mengmeng, Lin Qing subconsciously dug into his ear.

"What the heck?!"

He suspected whether he was experiencing auditory hallucinations because he had been blown by Su Mengmeng's breath too comfortably just now.

Before Lin Qing could open his mouth to ask, Su Mengmeng simply shared her talent panel directly and exclusively with Lin Qing.

[Blessing of Many Children: SSS-Rank (Unique)]

[Trait 1: Yin-Yang Great Dao.]

Every time you engage in Yin-Yang communion with the bound person, you will gain an unexpected harvest...

Sole Bound Opposite Sex: Lin Qing.

[Talent Trait 2: Generous Propagation.]

The talent is transmissible, and the recipient will share the ability of Trait 3.

Transmission Condition: Seven days after completing the first Yin-Yang communion, Trait 3 will be automatically transmitted to a random person of the same sex in the dormitory.

And so on, with seven as a cycle. (Restriction: Once, Unique.)

[Talent Trait 3: Offspring Kindling.]

The born offspring will inevitably possess innate talents, with a high probability of fusing the talents of both parents...

When seeing [Trait 1], Lin Qing only felt, hmm, it really was a perfect match for his own talent.

But when he saw [Trait 2], his eyes instantly widened like copper bells.

This SSS-rank talent [Blessing of Many Children].

This... this talent, can it... can it really spread?!

In other words, after the first time, it will automatically transmit to a random person of the same sex in the team after seven days?

And so on, a cycle every seven days?

Lin Qing's brain spun at high speed.

Meaning, Su Mengmeng is the first, and after seven days, this ability will be passed to another girl in the class?

Then that girl experiences the "first time", and after another seven days, it gets passed to the third girl...

There are fifteen girls in our class in total!

Oh wait, Lin Yawei, who has malicious intentions, doesn't count.

Therefore, fourteen girls.

This means that as long as operated properly, theoretically, all of them can possess the ability of [Offspring Kindling]?

And all of them can give birth to offspring with heaven-defying talents?

And his [Origin of Life] cooldown time happens to be seven days as well!

Every seven days, he can complete one "Origin of Life" and obtain a heaven-defying reward.

And every seven days, there will be one more girl in the class with the [Offspring Kindling] ability...

Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

Not that wretched kind of bright.

Rather, it was the excitement belonging to a player after seeing an entire developmental route.

Good, good, good.

Can it even be played like this?

His Origin of Life was never simply about cheating for himself alone.

And Su Mengmeng's Blessing of Many Children was the gospel of the team.

Stacking these two talents together was the core engine that could forge the entire dormitory into a future forbidden zone.

Of course.

The premise was that they volunteered.

This kind of matter could not be forced upon anyone.

Lin Qing glanced at Su Mengmeng.

The little girl lowered her head, her ears extremely red, so nervous she was almost forgetting how to breathe.

Willing to tell him her talent was already a tremendous sign of trust.

Lin Qing was not joking.

He put away the slight unseriousness on his face, lowering his voice.

"Keep this matter confidential for now."

Su Mengmeng looked up at him, her gaze a bit panicked.

Lin Qing said earnestly, "It's not that I don't trust them."

"It's just that this ability is too important. If it spreads out, it's easy for trouble to happen."

"Especially Lin Yawei."

Su Mengmeng nodded gently.

"I thought so too."

Lin Qing looked at her, his tone rare in its seriousness.

"Also. In the future, no matter how the talents are arranged, your own wishes are the most important."

"No one can force you."

"Including me."

Su Mengmeng was stunned for a moment.

Her originally tense heart suddenly relaxed a little.

Her face was still red.

But there was a bit more peace of mind in her eyes.

The girls in the distance couldn't see the panel, they could only see the two standing very close together and whispering.

Thus the atmosphere became even stranger.

"What are they talking about?"

"Why is Mengmeng's face even redder?"

"Lin Qing's expression suddenly turned serious, oh no, he wouldn't really have agreed, right?"

Su Xixi was almost unable to hold back from rushing over.

She gritted her teeth, her gaze dangerous.

Bai Nian, however, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Lin Qing's expression didn't look like he was joking.

Su Mengmeng didn't look like she was just shy either.

Between them, they must have exchanged some important information just now.

Bai Nian just wanted to open her mouth to ask.

Right at this moment.

The black electronic screen directly in front of Dormitory 9001 suddenly lit up.

Bzz—bzz—

A harsh buzzing sound of electric current rang out.

Everyone's laughter, discussions, and teasing voices were all suppressed.

On the black screen, a line of blood-red text slowly emerged.

[This player talent awakening is complete, dormitory leader comprehensive score calculation complete...]

[Dormitory 9001 comprehensive score highest person: Lin Qing. Automatically promoted to dormitory leader.]

[Dormitory leader permissions unlocked.]

[Permission 1: Dormitory upgrade.]

[Permission 2: Member management.]

[Permission 3: Expulsion permission.]

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Qing also raised his head to look at the screen.

Dormitory leader?

It really fell onto his head.

The next second.

The handwriting on the screen changed once again.

This time, the blood color was deeper than before.

[Warning!]

[The first monster door-breaching event is about to begin.]

[Countdown: 10 minutes.]

[This door-breaching monster: Unknown.]

[Monster quantity: Unknown.]

[Monster level: Unknown.]

Ten minutes.

Monsters breaching the door.

The dormitory, which was just filled with ambiguity and laughter, turned cold.

The smiles on the girls' faces disappeared bit by bit.

Replaced by genuine fear.

The survival world gave them no time to adapt.

The Shura field had just begun, and death was already knocking on the door.

Bai Nian was the first to look at Lin Qing.

Su Xixi also looked at Lin Qing.

Shen Zhiyi, Su Mengmeng, An Muxi, Yang Yating...

Everyone's gazes all fell upon Lin Qing.

Lin Qing stared at the countdown on the screen.

Ten minutes.

He raised his hand and put away that overly conspicuous large bed.

Then he swept a glance across the entire dormitory.

The slick, slacking demeanor from just now dissipated.

His voice wasn't loud, yet it allowed everyone to hear clearly.

"From now on."

"Everyone listen to my arrangements."

"Bai Nian, you are in charge of the Combat Group."

"Yang Yating, try to foresee this crisis."

"Su Xixi, take a few people to dismantle all the desks and chairs."

"An Muxi, use your talent later to craft some simple weapons and armor out of the desks and chairs they dismantle."

"Everyone else, don't run around, don't scream."
