The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Long Ao didn't take it seriously: "Among the people in Taipei, apart from Guan Jinyue, there's not much else who's capable. If we join forces, suppressing her shouldn't be difficult."

"No, Long Ao, you should have received Ross's message too." An Changqing showed his Green Bubble chat history, where Ross from Zero Academy had contacted him.

Since there are no restrictions on the academy for forming a team, it is natural that the stronger the teammates, the better. Ross's idea is simple: the four strongest teams will naturally be the strongest squad.

His idea is fine, but only if you can actually agree to it.

An Changqing naturally rejected him. Long Ao looked at the chat history and then belatedly opened his Green Bubble. Sure enough, he saw Ross's message. However, his Green Bubble account was always 99+, so he rarely paid attention to messages from people who didn't have his name saved.

He paid more attention to the messages sent from the college's terminal than to that.

"If Guan Jinyue agrees, she and Ross alone will be troublesome enough. Moreover, if he invites strong individuals like Kamishiro Chizuru from Kamiya Academy, it will be very troublesome."

Long Ao snorted coldly: "Who cares about her? We can't control her anyway. Let's just beat her to a pulp."

Chen Guan nodded silently. The comments had spoiled that Guan Jinyue was related to Baal, and he also felt that, given Guan Jinyue's usual behavior, he would most likely create a "Demon Descends" event. Team battles and secret realm competitions would indeed be good opportunities to cause trouble.

After a brief discussion, the four of them went their separate ways to prepare.

Chen Guan returned to his room, opened his control panel, and prepared to spend some money to buy a new superpower.

The first thing you see is the remaining popularity score.

Popularity: 35743

The defeat against Ross did not significantly affect the increase in popularity. The previous ambiguous interactions with the original, the fierce battles in the arena, the earth-shattering final showdown, and the discussion surrounding the mystery of Guan Jinyue's identity brought continuous gains.

Its popularity reached an unprecedented peak.

"Over 35,000 points... that's enough to exchange for a new superpower." Chen Guan's gaze swept over the dazzling list of superpower exchanges.

In order to quickly build up combat power, he chose the illusionist ability, which suited his high mental attributes, and the effect was remarkable.

However, illusionists tend to focus on control, and their limitations begin to surface when facing opponents like Ross, who can directly see through the essence of matter, or Guan Jinyue, who involves spatial rules.

He needs a more direct, destructive, and unique ability to complement the illusionist.

[Mythological Ability: Echo (Blue - Incomplete)]

[Price: 35000 popularity points]

Upon seeing that Chen Guan wanted to buy it, Tongzi was shocked: "Host, think twice! This is an incomplete version! This ability is so unlucky, it could ruin you!"

This is a gambling-themed ability that was just added to the shop.

Chen Guan originally disliked these kinds of gambling skills that relied on luck, but unfortunately, it was a mythological skill.

That's a mythology-themed one.

Just look at An Changqing to know how terrifying the mythology system is. Which of the legitimate mythology system members in the system isn't astronomical in number?

He'd been eyeing the mythological system, which had hundreds of thousands of popularity points per person, for so long. Now that he finally had a cheap superpower, the system still insisted that it was incomplete. Did he not know whether the superpower was incomplete or not?

As for it potentially ruining oneself...

High risk, high reward.

Besides, the alternate account won't die. Are you threatening me with something I don't have?

Chen Guan thought of his original body inside the Xuan Tie Coffin, and of the terrifying things revealed in the comments, such as Baal and the Guiyuan Group. He was determined to buy the mythological system!

"Fortune favors the bold, Master." Chen Guan's eyes narrowed. "Exchange for [Mythological System - Echo (Blue - Incomplete)]."

"After deducting 35000 popularity points, the remaining popularity points are 743."

hum...

Unlike the pure knowledge he gained when exchanging skills and abilities before, this time, Chen Guan felt as if his consciousness had been thrown into a vast and boundless river of time, composed of countless fragmented lights and shadows and chaotic whispers.

He witnessed the birth and fall of stars, saw giants walking on the earth, heard ancient sacrificial songs and laments, felt the formation and betrayal of contracts, and touched the weaving and collapse of rules... Countless chaotic, complex, and ancient fragments of information, beyond comprehension, washed over his consciousness.

This is not learning; it is listening to countless whispers.

He witnessed countless trials and tribulations, seemingly in an instant or a thousand years.

As Chen Guan's consciousness returned, his head throbbed with pain, and the gray mist in his mental world churned violently, seemingly containing something indescribable, yet also seemingly unchanged.

He realized what he had gained.

[Mythological Ability: Echo (Blue - Incomplete)]

[Effect: Passively increases sensitivity to ancient auras, mythological remnants, and fluctuations in rules. When actively activated, it consumes a large amount of mental energy. It allows you to try to listen to and trigger reverberations related to mythology, history, and concepts that you have encountered in the surrounding environment or yourself, and obtain random effects.]

The duration and intensity of the effect depend on the strength of the echo itself, the mental energy consumed, and the degree of resonance. It has a long cooldown time, and there is a certain probability of attracting unknown attention or being affected by residual effects after use.

[Currently recorded reverberations: None]

It really is a superpower that depends entirely on looks.

There's no fixed skill tree, the effects are random, and you have to acquire them yourself. If it attracts some chaotic evil faction, it might just be lost. It's basically a gambling ability.

But Chen Guan was not disappointed. The passively enhanced perception was still quite useful, and the active ability... although unstable, could definitely create miracles at crucial moments.

It's not difficult to obtain reverberation; An Changqing's ability and Baal himself should fall within the scope of reverberation.

However, the former is probably well-intentioned, while the latter is likely deadly. But if used properly, it could also be used as a self-destruct device, though you'd have to exchange for a distance limit and put yourself further away before using it.

He tried to fine-tune his mental power and sense his supernatural abilities. In his mental world, some extremely dim points of light vaguely appeared at the edge of the gray mist, like imperceptible dust in the starry sky. They represented the echoes that could be recorded, but they were all out of reach and he could not determine what they were.

Sure enough, he can no longer elicit any echoes; his skills have to be captured by himself, just like capturing Pokémon.

After trying it, Chen Guan finally gave up completely and looked at his current panel again.
