Hearing this from Xu Xiaotian, Guan Tong asked curiously, "Shouldn't the academy's students be a top priority for government protection?"
"But they can't protect that many people. The government sent some people with special abilities and items to help, but there weren't nearly enough to go around. In the end, it came down to a lottery. I got lucky and won the right to use an item, and that's how I survived."
Guan Tong replied, "Didn't you try to whip up some Instant Noodles with a new ability on the spot? Like, developing a kind that makes you 'lose your sense of touch'?"
"It's not that easy," Xu Xiaotian said helplessly. "Developing Instant Noodles with special abilities consumes a massive amount of Psychic Power, and it takes many days to get right. If I'd known the rule's details a few months in advance, I might have given it a shot."
"I see."
