Chapter 32

After exchanging a spirit talisman in Baihe Town, Qi Feng settled down in the real world for several days, diligently attending classes, eating, and studying with his dorm mates to catch up on the progress he had missed over the past month. He even stopped practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art!

It must be said that the engineering students in Qi Feng’s department were quite miserable. Due to the broad scope of their major, they had to take almost all the public courses offered by the entire telecommunications division! In the morning, they studied advanced mathematics with everyone else, in the afternoon, they learned programming with the computer science department, at noon, they played with weak electricity with the electronics department, and in the evening, they studied signal systems with the communications engineering department.

Their textbooks each year were at least half as heavy as those of other students! So now, Qi Feng’s efforts to catch up were even more miserable.

Of course, there were some benefits. For example, a junior scholar like the dorm leader, Lao Feng, could take on the majority of the retake and proxy exam business for over 80% of the professional courses in the college as long as he excelled in his own major courses. During the exam season, Lao Feng’s business was always bustling.

However, this year, Lao Feng’s clients might have to find new partners. As the chairman of the 514 Dormitory Economic Cooperative, Lao Feng’s personal financial situation had significantly improved, and he no longer cared much about the small money from such side jobs. President Feng now focused on revitalizing the cooperative every day. Although he didn’t have a clear goal yet, he believed that accumulating more knowledge was always right, as the saying goes, "Knowledge changes destiny." Under Lao Feng’s leadership, the entire dormitory was highly motivated to study (of course, some were also forced), with the determination to become the model study dormitory.

Only Qi Feng, who had been busy with his穿越 (time-travel) business for the past two or three months, became the lagging student in the dormitory. Although Lao Feng and the others didn’t know what Qi Feng was up to, they knew he was very busy. Just seeing him always on the go, disappearing in a blink, and even skipping the yoga club where there were many girls, they suspected he was planning something big, though they didn’t know what.

So, when Qi Feng finally settled down to study these few days, his dorm mates took turns to cram his brain with various knowledge points and formulas in a duck-feeding style education. Despite his protective abilities, he found it hard to keep up with the five of them.

But that wasn’t all. Do you think engineering students only need to excel in math, physics, and chemistry to be fearless in the world? Think again! As Qi Feng was buried in a sea of books, Lao Feng casually threw a red "brick" onto his desk.

"What’s this?" Qi Feng grabbed it and saw "Oxford English-Chinese Advanced Dictionary"! "Do you really have to be this serious, Lao Feng? Is this because you think I have too much free time or do you want to kill me?"

Lao Feng had a solid reason, "Passing the CET-4 means you can exempt from college English. I see you’re so busy, so you might as well pass the CET-4 first. Don’t worry, after this, you’ll have a much easier time every year! If you pass the CET-6, you can even earn extra credits."

Lao Wu, who was nearby, patted Qi Feng’s shoulder, "Don’t be upset, we went through this for the past two months! Hehe, you had fun with the girls, and now it’s time to pay the price."

Qi Feng felt like crying but couldn’t. In the novels he read, when someone gained a special ability, no matter what kind, they could instantly transform from a slacker to a top student. But for him, despite practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and consuming the Golden Silkworm King, his physical strength had increased, but his intelligence hadn’t improved at all!

What! Is there a wisdom potion for sale? I want to buy it! I don’t care if you want gold, silver, or copper, just name your price, any god!

Feeling dizzy and confused, Qi Feng thought he was just torturing himself by joining the others for self-study. These guys must have been holding a grudge for being forced to study every day and were now taking it out on him!

Qi Feng even thought about taking a Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, but he resisted. This thing was expensive and only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. He really needed to find an intelligence upgrade potion. He felt his brain was clearly not enough these days.

Deciding to wash his face to clear his head, Qi Feng got up and headed to the bathroom. But as soon as he entered, he was immediately wide awake!

He was scared awake.

What the hell was this place?

It seemed to be the interior of a building, a not-so-narrow corridor with dim, blood-red lighting. In the distance, a cacophony of heavy metal rock mixed with the screams of many people could be heard.

His special ability occasionally went out of control, and this must be a new map! Qi Feng was somewhat familiar with his ability. If everything went as expected, this was definitely a game plane, and it was likely the store section. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember ever seeing this scene in a game.

This pace of opening new maps was a bit too fast.

Qi Feng touched the wall beside him, which felt cold and hard. Tapping it with his knuckles, it made a light clinking sound, giving it a metallic feel. The specific material was unknown, but the architectural style was clearly from a time beyond Qi Feng’s era.

"Still a future world... hmm, no impression at all." Qi Feng tried to recall but eventually gave up. He decided to explore further. This place didn’t seem like a store.

Qi Feng followed the corridor and stairs, feeling a bit nervous. "I hope it’s a high-tech plane! Just don’t let it be some post-apocalyptic wasteland!"

After climbing two floors, he finally reached a more open space. Seeing a few figures ahead, he called out from a distance, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

Taking a few steps forward, the figures turned around. Despite his reinforced worldview, Qi Feng couldn’t help but take a step back and break out in a cold sweat!

This... this... this... Alien!?

The three "people" turned around, and Qi Feng could see them more clearly. One word to describe them: ugly! Well, maybe they thought he looked just as bad.

The "aliens" had a standard human shape, but their entire bodies looked like they had no skin, with clearly visible blood vessels and muscles. Their faces resembled vampires, with eye sockets three times the size of a human’s, but the eyeballs were similar in size, though deep red! The most peculiar feature was the three holes on their foreheads, which looked like ventilation ports! Their narrow, pointed chins and mouths, which seemed to have no lips and were filled with long, sharp teeth, made their heads look like inverted triangles.

"...Ha... Earthling..." one of them spoke, the voice sounding like it came from an old radio.

What... what’s going on? Qi Feng was initially startled by the sudden appearance of a humanoid non-human, but hearing the "alien" speak Chinese deeply shocked him!

Look, how mighty our great nation is! Even though now, Chinese college students can’t graduate without passing the CET-4, a few hundred years later, the CET-4 in Chinese has spread to aliens! How about your English?

After a closer look, Qi Feng felt these three were not good-natured. They wore only triangular shorts, with a few twisted belts hanging from their bodies, likely containing clips or grenades, and metal shoulder guards.

"...Hey... new kid!... Hand over everything valuable you have!" the three aliens surrounded him.

Just as Qi Feng had suspected, the moral decay in the future world was a popular setting! He shook his head, unsure of the aliens’ combat strength, and decided to avoid them if possible.

"Look! A flying saucer!" Qi Feng suddenly pointed behind them!

The three aliens turned to look.

Heaven, what kind of intelligence does this race have? Qi Feng was speechless. He was about to make a run for it, but seeing their large, unprotected heads, he couldn’t resist giving each a solid hit.

However, the technology of this era might have long since replaced bricks, so he had to do it himself. Qi Feng mustered all his strength, clenched his fists, and swung them around, landing three heavy blows, each with a crisp sound.

He didn’t know the combat strength of this alien race, but their health bars were definitely much longer than humans! With Qi Feng’s strength, at least a few hundred pounds, a direct hit to the back of the head would be fatal. But these three just rolled on the ground, holding their heads, without even passing out!

Just as Qi Feng was undecided about whether to follow up with more attacks, one of the aliens shook his head and stood up, holding a gun!

So, this is what guns look like in the space age. This thought flashed through Qi Feng’s mind as his body already leaped to the back corner to hide.

Swoosh, swoosh, a pale blue light flashed, leaving two large holes in the metal wall.

"So brutal?" Qi Feng quickly rolled to the back, "Weapons in the space age are indeed impressive! Where’s the store? I need to get a couple too!"

Qi Feng peeked out and saw the three aliens advancing in a line, guns raised.

"Damn, let’s try, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll run!" After all, if he ran back down, he could return to the real world, so he wasn’t too afraid. He grabbed a few talismans from his item list.

Qi Feng channeled his energy, and as he held the talismans, he felt a bit of his true qi being drawn out, causing the talismans to glow with a spiritual light! Without even thinking, the talismans naturally flew out of his hands!

Qi Feng roared, "Monsters, take this! Talisman Art of the Celestial Master!"
