I am weak and friendly

Chapter 203 Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain

In the second row of seats of the large MPV, Gao Ming was observing Tang Yiping's profile.

To be honest, Tang Yiping was much calmer than he had imagined.

After the initial surprise, Tang Yiping calmed down, concealing all his emotions behind his composed expression.

Even when staring into Tang Yiping's eyes, Gao Ming couldn't detect any significant emotional fluctuations in him.

It seemed that everything was under his control.

If he hadn't lost control of his emotions for a moment, Gao Ming might have thought it was just a trivial matter.

Gao Ming is very good at reading people's expressions and moods.

This is not just ordinary "skill"; it is the result of rigorous, systematic, and scientific learning, training, and long-term practice. Like his ability to hide his inner thoughts, it is his talent and professional skill, which can even be described as his ability to make a living.

There aren't many people he feels he can't "see through," but they are almost all seasoned veterans or his old superiors.

Now he realized that he couldn't even see the expression on the face of a boy who was not yet twenty years old.

As expected, I underestimated this Tang Yiping!

No, he was even a little afraid to look Tang Yiping in the eye.

Because... Tang Yiping's eyes are really sharp!
He had never seen such bright eyes before, as if they were truly glowing. Just looking into them felt like staring directly into a bright light, as if looking at them for too long would blind him.

No, I can't back down now, I have to stay calm!

Show your professionalism, brilliant! Stay calm!
Tang Yiping looked at Gao Ming calmly, his eyes seemingly shining.

Gao Ming calmly looked at Tang Yiping, silently enduring his searchlight-like gaze. After a while, he felt that his tears were almost brought to his eyes.

That's a damn glaring look!

Gao Ming had no idea that Tang Yiping was currently seeing a flurry of notifications appearing in front of him.

—You have observed the discrepancy between the appearance and reality of the unknown Homo sapiens and learned the C-level survival skill [Working Mask]. Current level: E.

——【The Mask of the Worker】: The working class, the working spirit! Even if you want to scream, complain, or quit, you can still maintain an absolutely professional and emotionally stable "professional mask." Your thoughts don't matter, restrain them!
—This skill is too well-suited to your class [Carrion Eater] (crossed out) [Carrion Hunter], exceeding the class's potential. The terrorist elimination team has been deployed. (crossed out)

Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. In real life, you are Tang Yiping, a college student suffering from an illness. You are weak and mediocre, friendly and harmless, posing no threat to anyone, insignificant wherever you go, a natural pushover, destined to be ignored. But there will always be people who form wrong impressions of you, creating ingrained prejudices and imposing them on you. Since prejudice is unavoidable, why not accept it and wear it in appropriate situations?
—A false impression of you [Founder of the Dragon Group] was detected from an unknown Homo sapiens. Do you want to try to solidify this impression and wear it as a mask?

—【Founder of the Dragon Group】: You founded the legendary "Dragon Group"—the only and last bulwark of that fragile world. You are powerful, calm, mysterious, and unfathomable, possessing secrets and powers unknown to the world. You fight against the evil lurking in the shadows, protecting this world. No one knows what kind of power you possess, but in every crucial moment, you step forward and create miracles.

Tang Yiping: "..."

No, why do I appear this way in Gao Ming's eyes?

So, what exactly is the Dragon Group?

Shouldn't it be the Bureau of Anomalies Containment?
Does the Dragon Group really exist in this world?
Furthermore, what's with this "Working Mask"? Why does the system say this skill is a good fit for my class? Is this how the "Working Mask" is used? Why does it look different from the skill description?
Having learned the "Working Mask," Tang Yiping actually regretted it quite a bit.

After all, his skill level is only C. So far, Tang Yiping has only learned three survival skills, and all three are considered relatively advanced.

These are respectively the A-level skill [Carrion Eater] and the B-level skills [Weakness Insight] and [Stab-in-the-Knife Technique].

After changing his class to [Hidden Corruptor], Tang Yiping gained the ability to fuse skills and develop new ones. If he were to change his class again, according to the [Survival Guide for the Weak], he would need three more skills, including newly learned and fused skills. Tang Yiping had already fused [Weakness Insight] and [Stab Technique]. He planned to reserve one of his remaining two skill slots for [Stacking State], since it was a system-certified S-rank skill with an absurdly powerful description.

The other skill should be chosen based on your desired upgrade and job change direction.

At least, that's what Tang Yiping planned.

Both Lola and Stokka gave him the same message: a person can only learn a limited number of skills, so he needs to plan his path carefully to facilitate job changes.

Although the difficulty of learning skills was completely different for Tang Yiping compared to others, Tang Yiping still agreed on this point.

As anyone who plays games often knows, learning skills is easy in the early stages, but the requirements become increasingly higher in the later stages. If you make a mistake in choosing a skill in the early stages, the gap will become larger and larger in the later stages.

For example, in a game, a character can learn a skill at level 5. A skill build requires five core skills. If you choose the wrong skill, you will be 5 levels behind. The slow leveling speed in the later stages is obvious to all.

However, once the level cap is reached, it will never be possible to build a complete structure.

Skill point allocation often leads to a chain reaction of mistakes. A seemingly minor 2% error in an earlier step can amplify into a 20%, 200%, or even 2000% effect later on.

Therefore, each skill should be carefully considered.

Therefore... there was no place for a C-level skill in any of his plans.

Of course, ideals are lofty, just like how Tang Yiping tells himself every morning after waking up that he must work hard today and absolutely not slack off.

In the end, he still slacked off all day and didn't put in any effort at all.

He had been working incredibly hard to learn advanced skills, and yet he still accidentally mastered the C-level skill, the "Work Mask."

What else can I do?

We can only bear it silently.

Fan Zhihong drove at high speed and soon arrived at a familiar place.

"Wait a minute..." Tang Yiping wondered, "Isn't this... the Municipal First Hospital?"

The place where Tang Yiping met Du Yuanshan and received the Nusinersen injection were both here.

“Yes, Tang… classmate.” Fan Zhihong, sitting in the front row, replied, “I used an entropy meter to detect a huge entropy fluctuation here, so I came to investigate and discovered this passage…”

"After discovering the exact location of the passage, Captain Li insisted on bringing you over, saying that this matter might be related to you..."

Is it related to me?

A few minutes later, when Tang Yiping saw the location of the "passage," he understood why Li Tieqiang believed that the passage was related to him.
