2 The Death of God

  Qingcheng Middle School.

The full name is Seijo University Affiliated Middle School.

As an affiliated high school of a top university in the Outer Ring Road, Qingfu High School is also one of the top key high schools in the Outer Ring Road. Students who can enroll here are basically worthy of the title of excellent.

"...After that, our Zhuxia administrative districts were replanned..."

The geography teacher at the podium was speaking while writing on the textbook.

Unlike Xue Jing's previous life, this planet called Earth, although the national power can be roughly matched, many things are very different.

The biggest difference is that at the end of the 19th century, an event occurred that affected the whole world and is now called the "Death of God".

It was also because of that event that the AD calendar, which used the birth of Jesus as the first year, officially ended, and was replaced by the 'New Era', which uses the year after God's death as the first year. The history before God's death is called the 'Old Era' or the 'Old Times'.

Today, it is the 267th year of the New Era.

Xue Jing twirled the pen flexibly in his hand and seemed to be looking at the podium intently, but in fact his mind was empty and he was basically not listening to the class.

He opened the skill window, and there was not a single skill related to studying.

As a student in an elite class at a key high school, he had excellent grades. Judging from the activation conditions of his other skills, it was impossible for him to fail to meet the most basic Lv1 activation conditions in terms of academics.

But in terms of appearance, there is none of the subjects, including Chinese, mathematics, physics, politics, and history.

'Perhaps... these courses themselves can only be considered "knowledge" and not "skills"?'

Xue Jing guessed.

The skills defined in the skill scope should refer to the ability to perform specific actions, while subjects such as Chinese, literature, and mathematics can only be regarded as knowledge stored in the brain and cannot be regarded as skills.

"If that's the case, then attending class is a waste of time..."

Xue Jing was spinning the ballpoint pen in his hand quickly. He was considering whether to pretend to be sick and skip class to go home to grind his skills, when he suddenly saw that the "Charm" on the boss's face was increasing experience again.

[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm Experience +1]

[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm Experience +1]

He remained calm, but suddenly turned his head to look around, and his eyes met with a female classmate wearing glasses who was secretly looking at him. She looked embarrassed, quickly looked away, and reached out to push her glasses up as if to cover up, with a blush on her cheeks.

Xue Jing felt helpless.

He had only activated the skill "Charm" in the last two days.

As the name suggests, it is the skill of improving one's own charm and attracting others.

The effect is that his behavior will become more charming, his expression management ability will be better, and even when the level is increased, his body will change, his figure will become more symmetrical and good-looking, and his appearance will also have subtle adjustments.

However, this skill... he doesn't need it.

He in this life can only be described in six words.

Congenital soft rice Eucharist.

There is no need for such things as charm. The moment he stood there, he was like a human aphrodisiac.

However, this skill that he least needs is also the skill that is easiest for him to improve.

Because one of the conditions for increasing experience is that someone has emotions such as "like" or "love" for him. The stronger the emotion, the more experience he gains.

Also, if he took the initiative to do something that would make others like him, his experience points would increase even more. For example, when he accepted the towel from a junior schoolmate during the physical examination at noon, his experience points increased by 45 points.

This is also the reason why he did not go out of his way to grind for "Charm", but still reached Lv2 in two days.

You can gain a lot of experience just by walking around the street, so your rank will naturally increase quickly.

"I wish the other skills were this simple..."

Xue Jing twirled his pen, thinking in boredom.

…

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang for the end of class.

Xue Jing packed up his things and was about to call Li Ge to go with him, but he saw a middle-aged man with a tall stature and a high hairline standing at the door of the classroom and waved at him.

That was their class teacher, Chinese teacher Du Shiwei.

Seeing this, Xue Jing and Li Ge made a gesture, signaling him to go first, then he put his schoolbag on one shoulder, walked in front of Du Shiwei, and asked in confusion:

"Teacher Du, are you looking for me?"

"Yeah." Du Shiwei nodded, glanced at Xue Jing, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

This student has excellent grades, after all, all students in the elite class are excellent. The main reason is that his appearance is really great.

Occasionally, when we need to find a few students to represent an event, we would pull him over and feel very proud.

I didn't expect that he is so good at sports.

"Xue Jing, this is what happened. I heard from Teacher Chen that your long-distance running results in this physical test were quite good. Isn't the school sports meet going to be held next month? Are you interested in participating and winning honor for our elite class?"

Du Shiwei patted Xue Jing on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Xue Jing subconsciously wanted to refuse. He had no intention of participating in the competition. But suddenly, he seemed to think of something. After thinking for a while, he nodded:

"Since the teacher said so, I will participate."

Du Shiwei smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll sign you up. Do you want to run the 800-meter event or the 1,500-meter event?"

Xue Jing asked: "Teacher, how many events are there in running?"

"If it's just running, there are 50-meter run, 100-meter run... 400-meter run, 800-meter run, 1,500-meter run... and a relay race." Du Shiwei counted them one by one on his fingers.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "Can I participate in all the projects?"

Du Shiwei was stunned for a moment, "You want to dominate all projects, you have great ambition."

"Well... it's possible, but several of these events are on the same day. Can you handle it physically?"

Du Shiwei looked worried.

Xue Jing nodded: "Teacher, don't worry, I probably can."

Even if I can't do it now...I will definitely be able to do it next month.

Xue Jing glanced at the two skills "Running" and "Fitness" on the boss's face.

"Okay, then the teacher believes in you." Du Shiwei patted his shoulder again.

"That's it for now. I'll go register for you. If you really get first place in all the competitions, your teacher will be proud of you."

After saying this, Du Shiwei turned around and left with brisk steps.

After he left, Li Ge, who had been standing not far away, came over and asked, "What does Lao Du want to talk to you about?"

Xue Jing picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the teaching building with him, saying, "He wants me to participate in the long-distance running event at the school sports meet next month."

"Did you agree?" Li Ge asked.

Xue Jing nodded.

"It's not right. It's 100% or even 90% wrong." Li Ge fell into deep thought.

He and Xue Jing had been classmates and close friends for many years, and he knew Xue Jing very well.

Because he is a person who easily attracts attention and has no shortage of attention, he has basically no interest in this kind of publicity. This has been the case for the three years of high school and he has never participated in any activities that can be avoided.

This time they were going to participate in the school sports meet. Li Ge seemed to have already imagined the look of love in the eyes of the schoolmates when Xue Jing crossed the finish line and took first place.

He did not doubt whether Xue Jing could get first place. Based on the result Xue Jing achieved at noon, no one in the school could compete with him.

"Not only long-distance running, I will participate in all events related to running," Xue Jing added.

Li Ge paused, "How dare you! Old thief Xue, do you really want to monopolize the hearts of all the school girls? I think you have already found a way to die!"

Xue Jing patted his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the assignment of schoolmates when you have a girlfriend?"

"That's not right. I am the former student union president after all. I should always consider the overall situation of my classmates..."

The two walked towards the school gate, chatting and laughing all the way.

"Aren't you planning to take the entrance exam to Xingda University? How are your preparations going?"

On the way, Xue Jing asked.

Li Ge shook his head and sighed, "The hope is slim. It is ridiculously difficult for people from the outer ring to enter inner ring universities. I took the test papers from previous years and tried it, but I was far from the admission line. Do these inner ring universities really plan to recruit students from the outer ring? It feels like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, you can see it but you can't eat it."

Xingda, whose full name is Xingcheng University, is a municipal institution of higher learning in Xingcheng.

There are nine "urban circles" in Zhuxia, and the cities within the urban circles are divided into "inner ring", "outer ring" and "periphery".

Both Xingcheng and Qingcheng are cities belonging to the "Fifth Metropolitan Circle", but Qingcheng belongs to the outer ring city while Xingcheng is the inner ring city.

The inner ring cities are extremely developed. Even a well-developed city like Qingcheng in the outer ring can only be regarded as a "countryside area" compared with the inner ring cities.

If you can get into Star City University as an outsider, it would literally be like a fish leaping into the dragon's gate.

Xue Jing patted Li Ge on the shoulder and said, "Come on."

"What about you? What are your plans?" Li Ge asked back.

"You'll graduate in one semester. Do you want to go straight to Qing University? Or you should try your best like me."

Xue Jing shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

His overall performance was slightly worse than Li Ge's. Even Li Ge had no hope of being admitted to an inner-ring university, let alone him.

Even if they pass the entrance exam, people from the outer ring still need to pay a high tuition fee to the school. This tuition fee is extremely exaggerated. It is called tuition fee, but in fact it is the "relocation fee" for people from the outer ring to become people from the inner ring, which can often make a wealthy family go bankrupt.

Of course, even so, there are still countless people flocking to it, which is why it is a true class leap.

"Maybe... I will practice martial arts."

Li Ge frowned, not quite agreeing: "Practicing martial arts? You want to be a martial artist? This road is not easy to walk, the competition is too fierce and dangerous. You don't even have the basics, are you going to deliver food?"

"uncertain."

"Maybe I am a one-in-a-million genius."

Xue Jing stared at the skill screen and spoke softly.
