Blue Star, Yanxia Federation, Lin'an City.
"Xiao Nan, this is the spirit beast meat specially prepared for you. Come, eat more."
Mo Nan looked at his mother with gray hair on her temples and said helplessly:
"Mom, I told you not to buy meat. Xiaobei's illness requires the fourth-grade Vitality Pill, and Dad's injury..."
"Today is your eighteenth birthday, and it's also the day you awaken your golden finger. Just consider it an early celebration." The father said with a forced smile.
Mo Nan looked at his parents and sighed.
I have traveled through time, but the pressure from life has not decreased at all, and it is still suffocating!
He clenched his fists. All the hopes of his family rested on him. Whether he could change his fate depended on today's awakening ceremony!
After finishing his meal, Mo Nan went to school with the encouragement of his parents
…
Lin'an Wudao No. 4 Middle School, Class 3, Grade 3.
As soon as he arrived in the classroom, Mo Nan encountered something that gave him a headache——
"Mo Nan, the first cup of milk tea in summer will bring you lots of good luck! Good luck with the awakening ceremony!"
School beauty Lin Qingya showed a sweet and charming smile. Her beautiful face stole all the glory from the surroundings. Her shallow dimples revealed a charming curve.
"No! My goddess! You are the number one beauty in Lin'an Wudao No. 4 Middle School. How can you like a loser like Mo Nan!?"
The wailing of the boys in the class suddenly became a chorus.
Squad leader Li Zheng's face was even gloomier, and his teeth were grinding.
Mo Nan was also helpless. Just half a month ago, Lin Qingya, the school beauty who had no connection with him at all, suddenly showed her affection to him.
But Mo Nan didn't want to have too much interaction with the other party.
It is said that Lin Qingya has an extremely extraordinary background and the two are not from the same world at all.
Just when he was about to make his words clear, he froze in place!
Above Lin Qingya's head, a line of words suddenly appeared
[Name: Lin Qingya]
[Gold Finger: Spare Tire Development System (Spirit Level)]
[Cultivation: Body Tempering Level 4]
[Current mission target: Mo Nan]
[Mission Reward: 1000 Spare Tire Points]
Damn it!
You are so good, Lin Qingya. I treat you as a classmate, but you actually want to keep me as your backup?
Well, that's not the point. The point is—
I can actually see Lin Qingya's golden finger! ?
You know, everyone's golden finger is their most core secret, and it is impossible for anyone else to know it.
Just as Mo Nan was about to test a few more people, the classroom door suddenly opened and the head teacher's loud voice rang out:
"Everyone who turned eighteen in the last week, follow me!"
Mo Nan stood up. Today was March 31st, Monday, and it was also his eighteenth birthday.
In this world, anyone who is eighteen years old or above has the opportunity to awaken his or her own golden finger, and he just meets the awakening conditions.
When passing by the school beauty Lin Qingya, his arm was grabbed by her. Lin Qingya said lovingly, "Brother Mo Nan, come on!"
Mo Nan rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Mo Nan, don't you know how old you are?"
…
There were already quite a few people standing on the playground, and the principal began his speech:
"Classmates, it's well known that those without the golden finger are not worthy of practicing martial arts. Only those who have awakened the golden finger are qualified to practice!"
"Qualifications, systems, talents, Grandpa Ring, mysterious items, martial spirits... No matter which kind of golden finger you awaken, it will change your destiny!
"No matter which level of golden finger you awaken, be it mortal, spiritual, Dao, or immortal, it will be your stepping stone to enter the Martial Arts University!"
"Without further ado, I wish you all good luck!"
The principal gives the same speech every week, and he speaks with great passion.
Mo Nan was speechless after hearing this. So those who don't cheat should just stand aside?
He stared at the principal quietly for a moment, and sure enough, a line of words appeared above his head:
[Name: Xu Zhong]
[Gold Finger: Ten Times the Training Speed (Extreme Spiritual Level)]
[Cultivation: Purple Mansion Realm]
The Purple Mansion Realm, the fifth realm of martial arts, is also known as the Martial Dan Grandmaster.
[Copy?]
What!?
Mo Nan was stunned for a moment, then roared in his heart with joy:
"Copy! Copy it for me quickly!"
The next moment, a blue light appeared in his sea of consciousness, continuously emitting faint light, washing his body.
Sure enough, the time traveler will not be disappointed! The ancients never lied to me! Mo Nan was extremely excited.
At this time, the awakening ceremony on the stage has begun.
Students lined up and entered a series of strangely shaped metal cabins, and then the surface of the metal cabins began to light up.
Mo Nan looked around and saw that most of them were ordinary-level gold fingers.
[Driving Mastery], [Flower Cultivation System], [Medical Skills Manual], [Unparalleled Charm], [Gourmet Expert]...
Most of them are life-related cheats. Of course, there are also some cultivation-related cheats, such as the person who just came out of a machine with dazzling white light -
[Name: Li Dongqiang]
[Gold Finger: Starvation System (Mortal Grade)]
[For every day of hunger, your cultivation speed will increase by 5% for the next three days]
Good boy! If I starve for twenty consecutive days, my cultivation speed will double, right?
But he is a bit useless. Mo Nan glanced at his [Ten Times Cultivation Speed] and observed a ten-second silence for this guy.
It is worth mentioning that hundreds of years ago, for unknown reasons, the major martial arts universities suddenly abolished the restrictions on the golden finger level of candidates and only examined each candidate's martial arts strength.
Since then, the awakening ceremony can choose whether to display the cheat level, and most people will choose to hide it.
For a few people who choose to display their level, the level information will appear on the machine.
There are also some people who do not see any light after entering, which means that their awakening has failed, and they can only struggle to survive at the bottom.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd. Mo Nan looked up and saw words appearing on one of the machines:
[Li Zheng, mid-level spiritual level]
At this time, squad leader Li Zheng also walked out of the awakening machine and looked at Mo Nan provocatively. Mo Nan stared at him:
[Name: Li Zheng]
[Gold Finger: Dog Licking System (Spirit Level)]
[Current Target: None]
[Note: Becoming the target person's licker will earn you licker points]
Mo Nan's mouth twitched. Are you sure this one is not produced by the same manufacturer as Lin Qingya's?
It is said that class monitor Li Zheng was originally a bootlicker of school beauty Lin Qingya. As expected, where there is a man, there must be a golden finger.
A mid-level spiritual grade golden finger is considered a very good one, and there is a great chance of being admitted to a key martial arts university. No wonder this guy would show it off in a high-profile manner.
But what's strange is that after looking around, the copy option was not triggered. I don't know why. Could it be that they don't like it?
The principal was talking to the teachers nearby. "There are quite a few promising students in the third term. I wonder if anyone from our Fourth Middle School can make it to the top four this year?"
The Four Wonders are the four peerless martial arts academies of the Yanxia Federation. Their reputations resound throughout the starry sky, and every graduate is a big figure who travels across the galaxy.
The Dean of Studies smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Principal, don't count on the Four Supremes. In the entire Lin'an, no one has passed the Four Supremes exam in more than ten years. We'd be lucky if our Fourth Middle School can send a few students to key universities this year."
The principal glared at the dean of studies. "You have to tell me? Are you saying that people can't have dreams?"
On the other hand, Mo Nan discovered a golden finger that was very useful to him!
