As everyone else was adjusting the World Boat, Teacher Li somehow managed to produce a device from his hand. The device looked like a large satellite antenna, and nobody knew when it had appeared. Pointing the satellite antenna at them, Teacher Li said, "Excellent, twenty-two of you are supposed to be here, and twenty-three of you have actually come. We didn’t lose anyone, which pleases me greatly." Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s face darkened. ’What does he mean by ’twenty-two’ people? Does he not consider me a person?’ Although he was the last to arrive, he was an Awakener just like everyone else. But Teacher Li held a unique status with an unparalleled background, so Lin Feng didn’t dare to protest. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 Over the past few days, Lin Feng had thoroughly investigated the situations in the school. He realized that without an intimidating teacher to rein in the domineering students, he would just have to bear with it all. He was well aware of his low ranking. But what could he do? It was not his fault that he was an ordinary Semi-Awakened at first. This was all due to certain people. Full of resentment, Lin Feng shot a glance at Du You and his crew. In reply, Du You seemed lost in thought as he looked back at Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng didn’t budge, and thus, when Lao Er looked, he saw the two of them glaring at each other. Lao Er was not as highly perceptive as Du You, but he could read people’s actions and behavior. With a sigh, Du You hoped that nothing unpredictable would occur in the upcoming activities. At that moment, the large cauldron suddenly emitted a bright light, scanning every individual. All of them began to glow before a number one appeared above their heads. "Good, none of you have leveled up. This indicates that none of you have entered the Derived World on your own, and your teacher is very relieved." So, this was a test after all. Du You thought to himself, feeling relieved. If he had absorbed another crystal coin, he would’ve certainly leveled up to level two. Then, it would’ve been impossible to conceal. He breathed a sigh of relief. Violating rules isn’t always beneficial. More often than not, you have to face serious consequences. Having scraped by in the corporate world in his previous life, Du You was well aware of this. "You’ve done the right thing. The Derived World isn’t as safe as it seems. If a newly awakened individual were to enter the Derived World alone, their mortality rates would be as high as 90%. Especially for people like you who have received no training or are unadapted," said Teacher Li. ’Is the death rate really that high?’ Du You pondered. But on second thought, it seemed reasonable. When he entered, he had two occupations, resulting in more magic power and better physique. He also had the exceptional pet, Purple Lightning Golden Eagle, which offered superior combat capabilities. Even on his own, he was as good as a small team comprising three or four Awakeners. If he didn’t have the Purple Lightning Golden Eagle or the added benefits from his two occupations, he would at best be able to take on a single goblin. If there were two, it’d be challenging. If there were three, he’d have to run for his life. There’s no way he could’ve defeated a team of six goblins when he first encountered them. Thinking about it, Teacher Li was right. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to complete their missions. They’d either die in the forest or fail to complete the storyline in seven days, resulting in their assimilation into other worlds. And once that happens, there’s no going back. But, wasn’t it due to these same advantages that he dared to explore the Derived World? Luckily, he found an Otherworld and was able to change his profession to a unique hidden occupation. At this point, Teacher Li put the device away and continued, "But, you have all deeply disappointed me. You don’t even dare to take risks. If you had survived through your adventures, you would’ve definitely leveled up past level one by now." "What? What do you mean, Teacher?" a student asked loudly. "Oh, it’s nothing. Just pointing out your lack of adventure. Do you know, every great existence had to be adventurous at some point. Yes, the death rate is higher, but those who survive are the elites." "If you don’t even dare to try, your achievements will be extremely limited. Achieving good results in the college entrance examination requires more than just your current abilities; you also need a certain level of experience." Teacher Li didn’t say much, but his disappointment was evident. But what was he disappointed about? Was it because all of them had returned? Surely, he wasn’t hoping for a few to not return. However, given Teacher Li’s wicked character, it seemed possible. Many students began to regret their decisions. As Awakeners, they considered themselves the pride of the heavens and believed they were different. Many complained that they should not have followed the school’s arrangements if they knew this would happen. Some seemed eager to venture into the Derived World alone on their return. Of course, there were also those who remained grateful for the high mortality rate. Seeing their reactions, Teacher Li seemed pleased, displaying a strange smile as he said, "Enough, stop worrying about things that don’t matter. Let’s prepare for the upcoming activity." "This time, you’ll officially enter the Derived World. So, check your personal belongings. Do not carry prohibited items. Bringing these will not lower your grades this time; instead, they will be crushed and destroyed when you exit." As he was speaking, Teacher Li glanced at Lin Feng, who had brought a cellphone into the Derived World last time. If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have remained a Semi-Awakened. Noticing Teacher Li’s gaze, Lin Feng’s resentment deepened. He was well aware of his current situation. However, even with a low star rating and limited potential, Lin Feng was confident that he could still become a powerful Awakener. He learned from his brother that the Derived World contained items that could increase one’s star rating and compensate for talent inadequacies. He was determined to find these items.
