Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

Yuncheng College Square

After the principal's few words of declaration, the awakening ceremony, which was held in full view of everyone, began.

"Class 1, Grade 12, Lu Sanxian, Operator Skill: One."

The crystal ball used for awakening emitted a green light.

Immediately, a burst of pointing and commenting erupted from the audience.

"This kid is really lucky. I heard his family has been farmers for three generations. Now he can rely on the Beacon Fire Zone to change his fate. He can easily bring out a few gold coins, which is equivalent to several months' salary for an ordinary person."

"Tch, only one skill? That's too weak. I'll definitely be able to awaken two or more later."

"Alright, just don't cry and whine if you fail to awaken any of them later."

……

Some people envied them, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and some mocked them.

The students around him had different attitudes toward Lu Sanxian on stage.

The principal smiled with satisfaction at the good start. These were all his targets. If a student awakened four skills later, the title of best principal this year would be his.

Lu Sanxian, the person in question, stared blankly at the crystal ball in front of him for a long while before covering his mouth with a trembling hand, exclaiming, "I've successfully awakened! I've successfully awakened!"

Awakened crystal balls, as long as they don't emit white light, mean that the skill has been successfully awakened. Green represents one skill, yellow represents two skills, purple represents three skills, and gold... represents the legendary existence of four skills.

No one was surprised by his outburst; he was simply taken away in an organized manner.

In this world, the easiest way for ordinary people to defy fate is through an awakening ritual.

Once you awaken your skills, you'll be eligible to enter the War Zone.

Once you awaken two skills, you'll be eligible to join a club and be organized to enter the Beacon Zone to carry out search, attack, and withdrawal missions.

Once you awaken three skills, various clubs will actively extend offers, and there might even be a share of the profits.

If you awaken four skills, you'll be the most sought-after member of every club, with everyone vying to invite you to join. You'll have a voice within the club and the potential to become a Demon King candidate.

With Lu Sanxian's good start, the other students' emotions were stirred up, and they all entered a fantasy phase.

The instructors called out to one student after another, asking them to come up on stage for an awakening session.

Unfortunately, it seems that Lu Sanxian stole their luck, and more than a dozen people in a row failed to awaken their powers.

There was even a fat man who shouted about fate and bonds, but he ultimately failed to awaken. He kept struggling and shouting, "I don't accept this fate..." before being forcibly dragged away.

"Wow, the awakening probability is a bit low." Hao Ren squeezed next to Bai Kang and said nervously.

Bai Kang glanced at him slowly, finding it somewhat amusing. This fat guy had boasted before the competition that he could awaken some awesome skill, but after seeing the previous few people fail one after another, he immediately became deflated.

He thought for a moment and said:

"I guess I was just unlucky. I remember the official statistics showed that the ratio of people who could awaken skills was about 10:1."

Hao Ren pursed his lips, then his eyes hardened. "That's right, I have to believe in myself. Even if I don't believe in myself, I have to believe that I drew the best fortune slip yesterday. The host even said that I have an auspicious face."

Bai Kang's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Is it possible that the abbot of the temple uses the same rhetoric with every person who contributes incense?"

However, he didn't discourage the fat man; having a good thought in one's heart is always a good thing.

During their chat, more than a dozen people awakened their skills. This time, they were lucky, with three people successfully awakening their skills, but each of them only had one skill.

"Hao Ren".

Finally, the instructor called out Hao Ren's name.

Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said "Amitabha" before walking up.

The moment Hao Ren touched the crystal ball, it immediately reacted, emitting a green light.

This wasn't the end, because the green light quickly turned yellow.

"Hao Ren, two skills."

As the instructor announced, everyone fell silent for a moment, then burst into cheers.

"Damn, this fat guy has awakened two skills. He's so lucky. With some practice, he could even take the club's entrance exam."

"Give me a minute. I need to know everything about this fat man, including the color of the underwear he was wearing today."

……

Hao Ren, who was standing on the stage, also came to his senses at this moment. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he was overjoyed.

"Nice! The host was right, I have a lucky omen!"

"Congratulations." Even the instructor smiled at Hao Ren.

"Hehehe..." Hao Ren scratched his head, returning to Bai Kang's side from the stage amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

He smugly held up two fingers and waved them in front of Bai Kang.

"Two of them. From now on, follow me around, and I'll take you to eat until you're dizzy from hunger."

Bai Kang was genuinely happy that Hao Ren had awakened two skills, and said with a smile, "Great, great, I'll take care of the 'haha,' and you take care of the rampage."

"Fatty, you're really lucky. But as for Bai Kang... it's still uncertain whether he can awaken a skill."

Just as Hao Ren was getting excited, an annoying voice came from behind. Bai Kang frowned and turned around, and sure enough, it was Li Wei.

Li Wei is Bai Kang's rival at school. He comes from a very well-off family. In the first year of high school, Li Wei fell in love with a girl, but when that girl confessed her feelings to Bai Kang, Bai Kang rejected her.

At that time, Li Wei tried to take advantage of the situation, but the girl turned around and told him that he was no match for Bai Kang.

Because of this incident, Li Wei kept causing trouble for Bai Kang.

That's classic.

Bai Kang sighed, "Li Wei, as for whether I can awaken, you should pray that you can."

To everyone's surprise, this remark made Li Wei burst into laughter, revealing a defiant smile.

"How can someone like you from the bottom of society compare to me? Let me tell you the truth, my dad specially arranged for someone to help me awaken ahead of schedule within a week."

He held up three fingers. "I have three skills that you'll never be able to match in your entire life!"

Bai Kang's lips twitched. Indeed, powerful and wealthy people could secretly find someone to awaken them in advance, but he was just a poor guy, so naturally he couldn't have such means.

Li Wei felt helpless. If a girl doesn't like you, she just doesn't like you. Why is she taking her anger out on me? I'm innocent!

Under normal circumstances, if Li Wei really awakens three skills, it would be extremely easy to take him down.

But...

Bai Kang had his own ideas. When he first entered the school that morning, he was indeed thinking that it would be good to awaken a skill.

However, after seeing the news about "Mai Xiaowen's Lost Life," he had a different opinion.

If dreams are real, could I also...?

"Li Wei".

At that moment, the instructor called out Li Wei's name.

The latter laughed loudly, made a throat-slitting gesture at Bai Kang, and then walked up to him with an air of superiority.

As he placed his hand on the crystal ball

Suddenly, the crystal ball burst into green light, then turned yellow, and finally... froze at purple!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Excellent!" the principal laughed. "Purple, three skills! Very good!"

Li Wei also burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, I am destiny!"
