After walking out of the meeting room, everyone said goodbye at the elevator entrance. Yue Xingwen went to the Library’s Database on the -1st floor and found the library system tutor, he asked, “Is the tutor here? I want to upgrade the dictionary.”
A familiar female mechanical voice rang in his ears, “Chinese Department’s skill book, <Modern Idiom Dictionary>, 300 points are needed to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, is it confirmed?”
Yue Xingwen: “Confirm.”
He lifted his hand, and the familiar Modern Idiom Dictionary appeared in his hand, which floated to the center of the hall as if summoned, and then a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared around the dictionary!
After a moment, there was a ‘ding’ sound followed by: “The dictionary is successfully upgraded.”
The dictionary took the initiative to float back to Yue Xingwen’s hand, and he quickly opened it to take a look——
[Modern Idiom Dictionary]
Publisher: Library
Skill Book Limitation : Chinese Language and Literature students
Skill Book Level : Level 2 (Can be upgraded with points)
The following idioms have been unlocked——
[To Prostrate Oneself in Admiration] [Seven up Eight down], the descriptions of these two idioms had not changed.
[Golden Cicada Shell]
When being controlled, or surrounded, immediately release the control and move to a designated location 10 meters away.
Cooldown 24 hours.
Skill Upgraded ↑ : Effective on all members of the Research Group, allows all team members to release the control and move to designated location 20 meters away, cooldown 24 hours.
Yue Xingwen’s eyes lit up.
Golden Cicada Shell changed from releasing control and teleporting one person to a whole Research Group’s members and the distance of teleportation was longer, the enhancement’s effect was fairly significant.
He flipped back excitedly, and to new idioms appeared——
[Fast as Lightning]
Describe as doing action very quickly.
After using this skill, the movement speed of all Research Group’s members was increased by 500 for 5 minutes.
Cooldown 1 hour.
[Torrential Rain]
The torrential rain seems to pour down from the sky.
A torrential rain immediately draws a square area of 10×10.
The torrential rain can’t hurt people directly, but it can be used as a medium——
Example 1: Combining it with the Physics Department’s electricity skill, a thunderstorm can be formed where the rain can conduct electricity and deal a wide range of lightning damage.
Example 2: Combining it with the Chemistry Department’s acid skill, it will form a highly corrosive acid rain that instantly melts all creatures within the rain’s range.
Please explore the other usages on your own.
Yue Xingwen: “……”

Especially this ‘Torrential Rain’ skill, which was considered as a jack of all trades kind of Godly group skill. It could strengthen other skills from Physics and Chemistry Department, and maybe it could even work well with senior brother Liu’s scalpel to pour a direct rain of knives?
Then, Yue Xingwen flipped back, and there was a black space with a familiar character appeared: “More idioms can be unlocked after the skill book is upgraded.”
With 300 points, the skill book upgraded the ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ and gained two more skills. This harvest was not bad.
Yue Xingwen closed the dictionary and left the Library’s Database.
He was pleasantly surprised by this upgrade, and it seemed that his ‘magic dictionary’ had a lot of potential and was worth upgrading further. He had originally planned to get another book if the dictionary’s skill did not suit him after upgrading it to level 2. Now, it seemed that using 1,000 points for another skill book was not as cost effective as 300 points to just upgrade the dictionary.
After coming out of the Library’s Database, Yue Xingwen sent a message to the Research Group, “Everyone, I’ll wait for you on the -2nd floor.”
Jiang Pingce said: “I’ve arrived.”
Liu Zhaoqing quickly sent a message: “I have just finished exchanging a new medical prop. I will go right away.”
When they met at the Research Group Center, senior sister Lin Manluo was waiting for them in the meeting room just now. When she saw that everyone arrived, she consumed 10 points to open a ‘Research Group’s Training Room’.
Everyone entered the training room.
It was very much like an indoor stadium, with a very broad area. There were many basketballs, badminton and table tennis balls, and different sized balls at the side for the students to practice various skills.
Lin Manluo smiled and said, “Let us begin. Zhuo Feng, will you give the demonstration first?”
Zhuo Feng nodded and lifted his right hand up, only to see a golden electric current crackling and wrapping around the few badminton he was pointing at, and in less than 3 seconds, those badminton were burnt to black char by the electric current!
Zhuo Feng withdrew his hand and said, “I took a high-voltage electricity, and currently I raise it to level 2. In level 3, I should be able to learn to connect circuits in series and parallel, allowing electric currents to flow over a wide area, or to produce a parallel splash damage.”
Yue Xingwen was amazed. “It’s amazing!”
In the <Cardiovascular Ward> before, he had seen the two skills of ‘Ball of Light’ and ‘Magnet’ from the Physics Department, but the most powerful attack skill of the Physics Department was actually ‘High-Voltage Electricity’. The high-voltage electricity that senior brother Zhuo Feng got was really strong, no wonder his results in the <Escape from the Laboratory> course ranked in the top five. The monkeys were estimated to become charred by him?
“Look at my skill.” Lin Manluo followed and raised her right hand, then they saw a green vine that sprang out like a spiritual snake. Those vines grew so fast that they wrapped a basketball tightly and strangled it into pieces in an instant!
With a ‘bang’, and fragments of the basketball scattered everywhere, startling the crowd.
Lin Manly calmly withdrew her hand and said, “The Environmental Department’s first level skill is related to strange green plants, and I can only control vines at the moment.”
Ke Shaobin’s eyes widened as he asked curiously, “Senior sister, is there no limit for your vine? Can it bind a person to death?”
Lin Manluo smiled and teased him. “That’s right. Xiao Ke, do you want to try it?”
Ke Shaobin hurriedly waved his hand with a red face, “No need, no need!” The image of him being tied and strangled into pieces by the vines instantly sent a shiver down his spine. It was no wonder that any skills were not allowed in the dormitory area. Wouldn’t this kill people in a minute if the students got into a fight?
Yue Xingwen looked at Xu Yishen and asked, “What about senior brother Xu? What skill did you get from the Faculty of Biological Science?”
Xu Yishen smiled lightly and rubbed his nose. “My skill is rather strange.”
As soon as the words fell, a streak of shadow flickered in front of everyone’s gazes, and immediately after that, four identical-looking Xu Yishen appeared in the east, west, south, and north directions of the training room!
All four of them had smiles on their faces, and they could not even see the difference even at the strands of their hair. Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, only to see four Xu Yishen spoke at the same time, saying, “The mitosis of the Faculty of Biological Science. Do you know which is my main body?”
Everyone: “……”
He was splitting into quadruplets in an instant, who could recognize that?!
A moment later, three of them disappeared, and Xu Yishen, who was standing behind Yue Xingwen, smiled and said, “This skill doesn’t have any attack power, but it’s convenient for escape, or cooperating with teammates. My main body can be switched with the split at any time, and now the skill level is at 2, I can split into 4 shadows, and I can split into 7 shadows in level 3. I’m going to level it up to level 3 and stop, I can’t control too many split shadows.”
“Awesome!” Yue Xingwen gave a thumbs up.
Suppose that Xu Yishen was holding a knife in his hand just now, and suddenly split up behind Yue Xingwen and assassinated him, that was really unpreventable. At the same time, if Xu Yishen wanted to escape, no one would be able to catch him, after all, he had so many split bodies and his main body could not be guessed.
This mitosis skill was not offensive by itself and would be very flexible to use.
Lin Manluo looked at the four other people and said, “It’s your turn. Senior brother Liu wants to come first?”
Liu Zhaoqing took out his scalpel and showed everyone his ‘flying knife skill’, poking several basketballs in a row, his flying knife hit rate was higher than before. Seeing him fly out and retract the knife, the bright scalpel dazzled the crowd, Zhuo Feng could not help but say, “Xiao Liu’s Flying Daggers, never misses its target ah?”
Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, “There is another one.”
He retracted his scalpel and made a bloody cut on his arm, a self-inflicted act that startled everyone! But the next moment, he suddenly turned out a strip of gauze and wrapped it around the wound, and within 3 seconds, that wound actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone: “…”
Liu Zhaoqing explained, “I just went to the -1st floor to exchange for this medical gauze, so I can heal everyone’s wounds. As long as you don’t die, and the wound is bandaged with gauze, it will heal.”
“A violent doctor who can fight and heal at the same time?” Unexpectedly, the Medicine Department’s teammate that Yue Xingwen had pulled in was so strong. Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo looked at each other, both was a little excited.
Liu Zhaoqing laughed and said, “I’m flattered. I still hope that you guys don’t get hurt, and it’s better for my gauze not to be used.”
Lin Manluo looked at Ke Shaobin and asked, “Xiao Ke, what about you? The Computer Department shouldn’t be a code attack, right?”
Ke Shaobin’s ears were red and whispered, “I have a robot… Xiao Tu, Xiao Tu, sing a song.”
Then, a cute intelligent robot with a blue light on its head appeared on the ground. The robot had grown a size larger than when they first saw it, and had learned a new song. “Looking, looking, and looking for a friend. Then I find a good friend. Salute and shake hands. Now you are my good friend!”
Everyone: “……”
Ke Shaobin’s ears were red as he explained in a low voice, “I’ve upgraded my Xiao Tu to level 2, and this song can quickly locate the position of the teammates in the Research Group.”
Zhuo Feng held his forehead helplessly and said, “You Computer Department is quite creative ah.”
Ke Shaobin could not laugh or cry, what could he do? He also wanted to learn cool skills like everyone else, and as a result, the Computer Department sent him a robot that sang nursery rhymes.
Yue Xingwen stroked Xiao Tu’s head and said, “It’s quite good, Xiao Tu will be our group favorite from now on. Xiao Tu has two songs, <Two Tiger> to lure away the enemy and <Looking for a Friend> to find a teammate, which is quite comprehensive.”
Ke Shaobin coughed lightly and put Xiao Tu away.
Everyone then looked at Yue Xingwen and asked, “Xingwen, what about you?”
Yue Xingwen summoned a thick dictionary. He tried to test the Golden Cicada Shell, and the crowd collectively teleported 20 meters.
Lin Manluo’s eyes widened slightly and asked, “Group teleportation?”
Yue Xingwen said, “It can also release the control. For example, when senior sister Manluo uses the vines to tie me up, I can immediately escape with this Golden Cicada Shell.”
Lin Manluo gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, “This is good! With this Golden Cicada Shell, there’s no need to be afraid of any type of control skills.”
Yue Xingwen immediately followed by using the acceleration of the ‘Fast as Lightning’, and everyone’s soles of feet seemed to step on the wind-and-fire wheels, their movements speed were 5 times faster than usual, and Ke Shaobin almost could not control it and fell.
After opening the ‘Torrential Rain’, the room suddenly had a heavy rain pouring within 10 square meters, and the description of this skill was particularly interesting, so Liu Zhaoqing tried to throw his scalpel into the rain——
And it actually rained out the knives?!
Zhuo Feng threw the electricity into the rain, and a large amount of lightning actually appeared in the rain area. One lightning bolt after another broke through the sky, almost like a thunderstorm in the Xianxia drama. Zhuo Feng sighed. “If you go in there, you will get struck by lightning! It seems that your rain can amplify and enhance the skills of other majors? It will be even more terrible if it rains acids from the Chemistry Department, the corrosiveness is unrivaled.”
Lin Manluo could not help but say, “The potential of Xingwen’s dictionary is very strong! After all, with so many idioms, more and more skills can be learned by upgrading, it should be the strongest magic book in the library. It can be an output and it can also support, very comprehensive.”
Liu Zhaoqing smirked and said, “Classmate Yue Xingwen’s dictionary is not just a magic book.”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “That’s right, it has another usage.”
After saying that, he suddenly threw the dictionary out. The heavy dictionary, like a brick, smashed into the iron frame where the basketball was placed with a ‘bang’, and the iron frame was smashed into a big crater by him!
Everyone: “…”
Lin Manluo pressed her temple softly and said. “Xingwen, are you using the magic book as a brick?”
Yue Xingwen laughed and said, “There is no cooldown, I can throw it out and smash the opponent at any time.”
Xu Yishen lamented, “Such a heavy dictionary, it’s really the ‘power of knowledge’, it must have hurt to be smashed by it.”
Zhuo Feng complained, “It’s not about the pain anymore. I guess it can smash someone’s brain to get a cerebral hemorrhage and concussion.”
Yue Xingwen coughed lightly and looked at Jiang Pingce. “It’s your turn.”
Only Jiang Pingce left to show his Mathematic Department’s skill, and everyone was looking at him curiously.
Jiang Pingce’s slender right hand suddenly stretched out, his thumb, index finger and middle finger pointed to a direction separately, followed by writing down some numbers quickly as if writing a formula, and then, an unbelievable scene appeared——
The entire basketballs in the iron frame suddenly floated into the air as if manipulated by some unknown force!
They began to float up and down quickly along regular curves, like waves, and wrapped around Jiang Pingce, forming a perfect circle.
A dozen basketballs floated around him, and Jiang Pingce, who was in the center, had a calm and indifferent expression, like a powerful sorcerer who could control everything.
The students looked at him in shock.
Jiang Pingce’s fingers swiped lightly, and the basketballs which were floating up and down, suddenly began to fly along a straight line; With another stroke, those basketballs flew violently into the distance, circling around before landing firmly back into the basketball’s iron frame that had just been cratered by Yue Xingwen.
He did not destroy a single basketball.
However, his ability to control the movement of objects at will made the students shudder!
As it could be imagined, if he was controlling people, being thrown through the air in a circle like that could be more exciting than riding a roller coaster. If he wanted to kill someone, he could throw his opponent straight up into the air and fell the opponent down to death!
Yue Xingwen walked over to him and asked curiously, “What is this skill of yours?”
Jiang Pingce replied, “3D coordinate system. I use the formula to make a certain coordinate do a fixed mathematical motion.”
Ke Shaobin, who was also a science student, quickly reacted and said, “So, you just drew a Cartesian coordinate system with your right hand, and write a formula to make the basketball do a sine curve motion, then a linear motion, and finally a parabola?”
Jiang Pingce nodded. “That’s right.”
Yue Xingwen gave a thumbs up. “…Awesome!”
In Mathematics, the 3D space was composed of three lines, x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, also known as the ‘Cartesian Coordinate System’, in which any point could be represented by data coordinates.
Among them, (0, 0, 0) represented the origin, which was the position where Jiang Pingce was when he stretched out his right hand to draw the coordinate system.
A 3D coordinate axis that covered the entire surrounding space.
Other students’ attack range were always limited, but the coordinate system could be extended without limitation, even if a peanut was placed on the group or a nail was thrown in the corner, Jiang Pingce could use the coordinate system to pinpoint its data and control them to move according to a fixed curve.
How strong was this skill?
With this 3D space of the Mathematics Department, any point could be located.
In other words…
As long as it was within Jiang Pingce’s sight, he could use the formula and control the trajectory of all objects.
——Jiang Pingce of the Mathematics Department had the strongest control field!
Wow, all the different ways the subjects can be used.
Your boyfriend is cool, YX
Thank you very much for new chapter 💕
Xingwen is turning out to have potential to be murderhobo~ And his boyf will help haha-
Thank you fo the chapterr!!
“A violent doctor who can fight and heal at the same time” – Anybody else think the author plays a cleric in D&D? 😂 Loving these new skills, they’re awesome!
My favorite chapter so far hehehe. Love the skills and the fact that everyone is so strong specially our Mc and Ml
thanks for the chapter!!
All the powers are so cool! I love the creativity, and honestly, I hope they use every combination of ‘torrential rain’ possible 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for all the chapters!!!
Oh, but I still think MC is more OP than ML, considering that the ML’s skills come with some complexity that befits how the skill is used, but YXW can just speak to use his skills. It doesn’t have missed rates either… unlike Xiao Liu’s dart scalpel
Idk man they all have good skills to work in a group. Ke shaobin’s skill, although weak as an individual but is really good for a team!! Also doesn’t he have good skills with tech, that’s a plus too. I’m in love with that medical student lmao, he can attack and heal too. How helpful and powerful it is?! It’s good for an individual and team. I love all of their skills although MC is a bit op, I’m pretty sure he would use his skills in emergency only and would just use his dictionary to smack others and just act like a leader. I don’t mind op characters if that’s not what the novel is all about.
