"Escape from the Horror Campus"

Chapter 7:personal attribute

The crowd gazed intently ahead, not because there were beauties or handsome men to attract these possibly hormone-overloaded teenagers, but because before them appeared a pale blue screen, displaying many things that caught their attention.

Chu Tian was no exception, his eyes widened as he silently recited "personal attributes," causing a blue screen to appear before him.

Though not large, the screen was divided into eight sections in the shape of an umbrella, meticulously presenting Chu Tian's comprehensive information. At the center of the umbrella was a holographic figure of "Chu Tian," with sections appearing clockwise:

Possesses a weak deterrent effect against ghosts and spirits. Can be equipped immediately. Commentary: Who says a humble heart will not receive the warmth of spring?

Eight panels, with seven displaying dense text and data, while the last panel remained blank, seemingly reserved.

Thus, Chu Tian took a full ten minutes to review all his information. After finishing, Chu Tian felt a mix of emotions, unsure of what to do.

Especially when he saw the "Items" section, specifically the "Stove God Talisman," Chu Tian couldn't help but sniffle, even overlooking his brief lifespan of 34 years. Immediately, he equipped it, and the "Stove God Talisman" in the item section ran over to the "Equipment" section, displaying the following attributes:

Accessory: Stove God's Talisman.

Introduction: A talisman imbued with selfless maternal love and the weak divine power of the Stove God.

Rating: Exclusive silver-grade equipment.

Condition: For Chu Tian's personal use only.

Effect: 1. Hidden attribute luck +3. 2. Possesses a weak deterrent effect against spirits.

*******************

"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Li Shuangmu noticed Chu Tian's poor state and couldn't help but ask.

Chu Tian shook his head, not inclined to say much, and said, "Nothing."

Li Shuangmu looked at him, nodded, and then sighed, "It seems we've truly arrived at a very, very magical place."

"Ha! Who says otherwise?" Wei Ming suddenly leaned in, lowering his voice but still excited, "I actually have a lifespan of 105 years! Turns out I can live that long. Also, my strength attribute is the highest, at 8 points. How about you guys?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Not bad." Chu Tian thought that Wei Ming's "intelligence" attribute must not be high; otherwise, he wouldn't ask such a foolish question. Who would willingly reveal their attribute secrets?

Li Shuangmu chuckled and said, "So you're still the old long-liver. I can't compare to you, but I also have a lifespan of 94 years, which is not bad. I don't have any other special talents though. But I do have a special skill called 'Tranquil Mind', which grants a 20% chance to resist damage from mental abilities. It sounds pretty useful."

"Special skill? I have one too," Wang Ning turned around and said, "It's called 'Subtle Mastery'. It gives me a 30% chance to evade detection. Of course, the perception level of the detector cannot exceed 5. I really don't know how I got this skill, and I don't feel like I'm very subtle either."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian's heart suddenly jolted. "If it weren't for him speaking, I might have completely ignored his presence. This skill is incredibly powerful. If he were to really pose a threat to me, I might not even have a chance to react."

Li Shuangmu also commented, "This skill is pretty good, very practical indeed. It seems being low-key is the way to go."

"Hehe," Wang Ning chuckled proudly. "Hey, big guy, what about you? Do you have any special skills?"

"I... I..." Wei Ming stammered.

"You're really not straightforward. If you don't want to say, forget it," Wang Ning said.

"It's not that... I just don't want you guys to laugh at me," Wei Ming replied.

"What's there to laugh about? Although we don't know exactly how these special skills are useful, they seem to be quite important. I feel like we've stepped into a world similar to an online game. With attributes, skills, equipment, and so on, there might even be quests later. I think we should prepare ourselves well," Wang Ning said solemnly. "As the Flame Queen said, rather than asking irrelevant questions, it's better to listen more, think more, and do more. No matter what, we always have to rely on ourselves and trustworthy friends."
