Talent: "Eye of Analysis" "Nature's Darling"
"Wow, what a huge and beautiful estate. Is this what aristocratic luxury living looks like?"
As Lu Fei gazed upon the magnificent estate before him, he couldn't help but marvel.
In his previous life, such sights were unimaginable to him.
Walls built of gleaming limestone cliffs, gates crafted from unknown metals.
Though aesthetically pleasing, it also conveyed a sense of weightiness and solemnity to Lu Fei.
His expression, reminiscent of a country bumpkin entering a grand estate, reflected in Lori's eyes, bringing her some amusement.
Initially, she had found the architecture here too rigid, but now it seemed rather nice.
As they wandered around, Lu Fei encountered many things he had never seen before, greatly satisfying his curiosity.
Unconsciously, Lu Fei had already followed Lori and the others to a grand hall.
Walls and floors made of golden bricks and white jade, illuminated brightly as if entering a sacred temple.
Yet, there were no idols around, only a massive crystal placed on a pedestal.
Transparent and clear, devoid of any impurities.
Even the sunlight shining from above couldn't refract any colors on it.
Completely beyond Lu Fei's knowledge, indeed the world was full of surprises.
Even Newton would deem it impossible.
Gazing in awe at the crystal before him, Lori's voice reached Lu Fei's ears.
"Lu Fei, step forward and touch it with both hands."
"Huh? Me?" Lu Fei turned back, pointing to himself.
Seeing Lori nod, Lu Fei realized he hadn't misheard.
Could she somehow read his mind, knowing he wanted to touch it?
With that thought, Lu Fei approached, slowly extending his hands.
What would it feel like to touch such a large crystal? He couldn't help but feel excited.
As he made contact, it was icy cold but not piercing, and surprisingly not as hard as expected; rather, it felt like touching gelatin.
Before Lu Fei could ponder further, a soft glow emanated from the crystal, gradually intensifying.
At its peak, Lu Fei couldn't see anything anymore, engulfed in a blinding white light.
As his vision slowly returned, the crystal before him had transformed into a dazzling display of colors.
Various hues of light filled it, shimmering and dancing like lively spirits.
Lu Fei didn't fully comprehend what was happening, but it didn't stop him from being captivated by the magnificent scene before him.
While he was lost in admiration, those behind him were astonished.
Compared to Lu Fei's ignorance, Lori and her companions understood the significance of the scene.
This crystal was an extremely precious magical crystal called the "Spirit-testing Crystal," compressed from immense elemental forces.
Its internal elemental power was exceptionally stable, with hardly any elemental activity.
Thus, despite containing vast elemental energy, mages couldn't absorb or release it.
Initially deemed useless, its purpose was later discovered: to awaken talents and test for aptitude.
Being entirely composed of elements, it easily triggered fluctuations within a person's elemental affinity, manifesting in various lights.
The initial light represented the strength of attraction, typically testing one's elemental affinity.
The subsequent colors represented the elements attracted, indicating the elemental attributes within the person.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, ice, poison, light, darkness, void, time...
The array of vibrant colors symbolized the presence of all elemental attributes within Lu Fei.
In this world, possessing elemental attributes was crucial for a mage.
Without them, one couldn't become a mage at all.
Normally, a mage would only possess one elemental attribute.
Those with dual attributes were already extremely rare, often being the focus of various factions' attention.
Those with three or more attributes were almost unheard of, treated as secret weapons.
In a typical kingdom with a population of three to four million, having one or two was considered lucky.
Even in the Red Dragon Empire, with a population exceeding a billion, there were currently no more than twenty mages with three attributes or more.
Half of them belonged to the Veranika family.
Not to mention someone with all attributes; such a person was beyond human capabilities.
Before "her," such an existence had never appeared in the world.
Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but turn to Lori.
The only person possessing all elemental attributes was Lori Veranika, the empire's most talented mage.
In Anna's mind, no one could surpass her mistress in magical talent.
She even believed her mistress was the reincarnation of the goddess of magic.
But now, there appeared another person with comparable talent.
Not only did he possess all elemental attributes, but the initial dazzling light also indicated Lu Fei had exceptional elemental affinity.
He could manipulate various elements in nature more effectively, whether casting spells or enhancing hi
s own magical power, far surpassing ordinary mages, akin to the difference between fluorescent and moonlight.
Anna had expected her mistress to be as shocked and incredulous as she was.
However, she didn't see these emotions on her mistress's face. Though her eyes held a hint of surprise, her expression seemed anticipatory.
"Miss!"
Anna couldn't contain her astonishment and called out involuntarily.
Looking at the still dazzling Spirit-testing Crystal, Lori's lips curled into a smile.
"Anna, now you understand why I had to buy him!"
Her tone carried evident joy and satisfaction.
Before Anna could respond, an unexpected change occurred.
Lu Fei had intended to retract his hands. While the crystal felt comfortable to touch, he couldn't keep them there indefinitely, especially with others watching.
However, when he attempted to pull back, he found he couldn't. It was as if his hands were magnetically attracted to the crystal, resisting all his efforts to move them.
Moreover, as time passed, Lu Fei's eyes began to feel warm, as if something was seeping into them.
Initially, it felt like a gentle stream, but soon it turned into a rushing torrent. Even a dam couldn't contain the surging flood as it poured into Lu Fei's eyes.
The Spirit-testing Crystal seemed to go out of control, emitting a radiant light. Unfathomable amounts of energy surged from it, causing turmoil in the hall's elements and unsettling the ground.
Lori couldn't control her expression, her demeanor becoming flustered.
"What's gone wrong, and why is this happening?"
"Can the Spirit-testing Crystal be manipulated by someone to produce magical reactions?"
"What a joke!"
Just as it's impossible for a sturdy diamond to turn into a bomb, how could a substance change its properties?
But now wasn't the time to ponder such matters. The priority was to rescue Lu Fei.
Otherwise, with his frail frame, he wouldn't survive under such energy turmoil.
Creating a protective layer around herself, Lori quickly approached Lu Fei, but as soon as she touched him, her magical power was swiftly absorbed, and the magical shield on her body shattered due to insufficient magic.
Lori instinctively withdrew her hand.
Just as she was about to reach out again, she suddenly realized that Lu Fei didn't seem to have any injuries or danger.
"This... was all caused by him?"
He's absorbing the energy inside the crystal!" A bizarre scene unfolded before Lori, leaving her somewhat bewildered and dazed.
At that moment, Lu Fei resembled a black hole, unrestrictedly absorbing energy.
Despite containing immense energy, the fluctuations within the Spirit-testing Crystal didn't dissipate much; almost all of it was absorbed into Lu Fei's body.
Before long, the fluctuations within the Spirit-testing Crystal gradually disappeared, and the chaotic airflow around also began to calm down.
Eventually, the Spirit-testing Crystal completely restrained itself, emitting no colors, and the grand hall returned to silence once again.
Due to the impact of the energy, Lu Fei directly collapsed to the ground.
Seeing Lu Fei lying on the ground, Lori squatted down, checked his body, and found his breathing steady, everything normal, as if everything just now was an illusion, and the enormous energy was nowhere to be found.
As if it had disappeared into Lu Fei's body.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Lori subconsciously reached out towards the Spirit-testing Crystal.
As her palm touched it, the originally intact and sturdy crystal directly shattered, bursting into a starry light like fireworks before dissipating into the air.
Anna walked up to Lori and asked blankly: "Miss, was this what you expected?"
Her words left Lori momentarily speechless, feeling as though her mind had been crushed by thousands of chariots.
This was an item she had brought from home, very precious, extremely precious!
Or rather, it was invaluable, one of a kind in the world.
The Spirit-testing Crystal couldn't be cut or pieced together artificially; its natural form determined its size.
So, while Spirit-testing Crystals elsewhere might be the size of an egg at most, in more powerful places, they might be the size of a palm.
Although the size of the Spirit-testing Crystal didn't affect its function, its 'size' itself represented its value.
In a way, it symbolized the strength of a faction.
But now, it had shattered directly, gone!
At this moment, Lori's heart felt the same.
Looking at Lu Fei, her gaze turned fierce.
All of this was caused by him!
Now, how was she going to explain to her mother...
Feeling a bit bitter in her heart, but with Anna by her side, she could only pretend to remain calm and say, "Although there was a slight deviation, it's still within expectations."
"Ah, I see."
Anna responded dazedly. So much had happened in this short span of time, constantly challenging her worldview and psyche, leaving her feeling confused~
Lu Fei woke up from his slumber.
He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above.
"I passed out again."
Since coming to this world, he had awakened to unfamiliar scenes multiple times.
This time wasn't bad; the surface beneath him was soft and comfortable, the ceiling above was beautiful with intricate designs he liked, and the crystal chandelier was exquisite and gorgeous, albeit a bit dazzling.
Lu Fei instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.
Closing his eyes slightly and opening them again, he found that the things his eyes saw had changed.
A string of text data appeared in Lu Fei's vision.
[Item: Chandelier]
[Rarity: None]
[Description: A chandelier crafted from exquisite crystal, possessing certain ornamental value.]
"What's this?"
Could this be my transmigration perk?
Lu Fei felt exhilarated. As a slave for so many days, he keenly felt his own weakness.
He could only lower his dignity and resort to pleasing others with his looks.
Now, his cheat code had finally appeared.
Looking around, he examined his surroundings.
[Item: Red Nanmu Table]
...
[...]
"I can see the information about items, but what about myself?"
Lu Fei extended his hand to look, and indeed, a set of information appeared.
[Name: Lu Fei]
[Age: 18]
[Gender: Male]
[Species: Half-elf]
[Status: Slave]
[Rank: None]
[Strength: 3 (Average for ordinary people: 5)]
[Spirit: 9 (Average for ordinary people: 5)]
[Agility: 2 (Average for ordinary people: 5)]
[Charisma: 18 (Average for ordinary people: 5, 20 is the limit for mortals)]
[Intelligence: 14 (Average for ordinary people: 5, 20 is the limit for mortals)]
[Talents: Eye of Analysis, Nature's Darling (Possesses all elemental attributes, extremely high elemental affinity)]
The information was comprehensive, even indicating his current status as a slave.
"Age 18, that's right."
"Male, can't be wrong."
"Half-elf? Then what's the other half?" Lu Fei was puzzled but continued reading.
"Status? Hmm, that checks out. Next..." When he saw this, a black line appeared on Lu Fei's forehead.
"Rank? What's that?"
"Strength 3 points? Are you kidding me?"
Lu Fei couldn't believe it, staring at the number. He was a campus heartthrob; exercising was essential, and he dared to say that he could handle two opponents at once, if not ten.
But he only had three points of strength, not even meeting the standard for ordinary people.
"Is this what an alternate world looks like?"
"Spirit 9 points, this should be related to magic, right?"
Although I don't understand how magic is practiced, it should be closely linked to the spirit.
"Heh, 2 points!"
Looking at this glaring number, Lu Fei couldn't even be bothered to make a facial expression.
There was still some relief in his heart; fortunately, he didn't resist when he first arrived in this world, or else he might not even be able to beat a cooking aunt.
"A plane full of monsters!"
Continuing to read, Lu Fei regained some confidence.
"Charisma 18 points! Hah, not even a perfect score."
Although he said so, he couldn't help feeling secretly pleased.
Perhaps only gods could rival his beauty.
Thinking of this, two figures appeared in Lu Fei's mind.
Buying him by the wealthy Lori was quite beautiful, and being taken care of by Windsor was also lovely.
There was also the maid beside the wealthy Lori...
The quality of this alternate world was indeed too high.
It was probably just his luck to encounter such a situation, with the average for ordinary people being 5 points.
The image of a big gold tooth appeared; that should be the norm.
"Intelligence 14, a bit lacking," Lu Fei said softly; he believed himself to be extremely intelligent.
"[Eye of Analysis], I can see the attributes of things, it should be derived from this talent."
Lu Fei muttered to himself, then looked at the talent behind it.
"[Nature's Darling]..."
It seemed that the crystal he saw when he first arrived should be an item similar to testing magical talents.
Why did Lori bring him there, and why did the crystal emit colorful light?
Originally not understanding, now that he saw his own talent, everything became clear.
Lori probably bought him partly because of his talent.
At this moment, Lu Fei thought that all elves would have the talent [Nature's Darling].
Then Lu Fei thought of where the energy rushing into his body had gone.
He was knocked unconscious by that energy.
He reached for his eyes, wondering if it all went there.
He remembered his eyes feeling warm, with something constantly drilling into them.
If that was the case, everything would make sense.
When he tested his talent, he happened to activate the Eye of Analysis, and awakening the Eye of Analysis requires a large amount of energy, so he absorbed the energy from the crystal.

Snapped!
"Indeed, most of the time I'm pretty clever."
Lu Fei happily clapped his hands, saying with some confidence.
But before he could be too happy, the door suddenly swung open, startling him so much that his s
miling face froze in place.
