The leopard's charge suddenly halted, it let out a painful howl, its massive body crashed to the ground, its limbs convulsing, and blood gushed rapidly from the wound on its neck.

Jiang Fan's pupils contracted sharply. He gripped his spear tightly and looked warily in the direction from which the dark figure had come.

A tall and lithe figure slowly emerged from the thick fog.

She held in her hand a longbow with an ancient design, resembling both wood and vine, the bowstring still trembling slightly.

The newcomer was a young woman dressed in neat sportswear, her ponytail tied behind her head, her face smeared with mud, but it couldn't hide the heroic spirit and calmness between her brows.

Tang Qingyu glanced at the leopard struggling in its death throes, then her gaze fell on Jiang Fan, who was leaning against a tree, and a clear look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone dare to fight this mutated beast head-on alone, and even nearly kill it.

"Your skills are passable." But the words of praise turned into something else entirely: "Can you still move?"

"I'm alright, I won't die for now." Jiang Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat. "Who are you?"

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Beneath the leopard's body, where the convulsions had gradually ceased, two fist-sized energy spheres emitting a soft blue light suddenly appeared.

The sphere of light hovered half a foot above the ground, rotating silently and emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

Before the two could react, the sphere of light seemed to have a mind of its own, transforming into two blue streams of light that entered Jiang Fan and Tang Qingyu's bodies respectively.

Jiang Fan let out a muffled groan as an indescribable, intense pleasure instantly swept through his body.

The feeling was like soaking in a hot spring after being extremely exhausted, or drinking sweet spring water after being thirsty for days; every cell in the body was cheering and jumping for joy.

He almost couldn't help but groan out loud.

Tang Qingyu, on the other side, trembled slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

"Tsk tsk, added 6 points of psionic energy, this guy is really something." Tang Qingyu kicked the leopard's completely stiff corpse with her toe. "How much did you add?"

Psychic power?

Jiang Fan was puzzled, but quickly realized what was going on.

With a slight thought, a semi-transparent panel of light, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.

A new line of information has appeared below the original points system interface:

[Psionic Power: 16/100]

"16 PM," Jiang Fan answered truthfully, his gaze fixed on Tang Qingyu. "What is psionic energy?"

One at 6 o'clock, one at 16 o'clock, for a total of 22 o'clock!

Tang Qingyu's surprise deepened.

She had previously witnessed seven or eight people ganging up on a mutated, large poisonous spider, and in the end, they only received a total of 11 points of psionic energy.

This boy, facing a much stronger leopard all by himself, actually managed to score 16 points...

"Tang Qingyu? What are you doing here?"

Following the sound, they saw that Nangong Yue, Ding Hang, and Ji Ran had come out out of concern because Jiang Fan had not responded for a long time.

Tang Qingyu glanced at the three newcomers, her gaze lingering on Nangong Yue for a moment longer: "Nangong Yue? So you're in this building."

Her tone was flat, making it impossible to tell whether she was surprised or just reminiscing.

Tang Qingyu?

Jiang Fan's heart stirred.

That name that ranks third in the regional rankings?

He immediately remembered that someone had mentioned on the rooftop that this "most beautiful freshman" lived in the dormitory building next door.

He quickly glanced at his ranking points.

The regional ranking has risen from 11th to 8th without me noticing.

Tang Qingyu's name has been ranked second.

No wonder he was able to shoot the leopard in the throat with one arrow; his strength is truly extraordinary.

Upon seeing the leopard carcass lying on the ground, which was about the size of a small calf, Nangong Yue and the other two were stunned.

"You killed this? That's outrageous..." Ji Ran stepped forward in surprise and poked the leopard's corpse, muttering to himself.

"The leopard suddenly attacked me earlier, and she saved my life at the critical moment," Jiang Fan explained briefly to the group.

"It's not a matter of saving you," Tang Qingyu shook her head. "Even if I didn't intervene, it probably wouldn't have the strength to hurt you anymore."

The leopard has a total of 22 points of psionic energy, but she only gained 6 points.

Based on this, she could easily deduce that the leopard was already at its last gasp.

She paused, then looked at Jiang Fan: "Psionic energy is something that mutated creatures drop when they die. I haven't figured out exactly what it does yet. But the amount of psionic energy can indirectly reflect the strength of a mutated animal."

Jiang Fan nodded thoughtfully, and then briefly explained the situation regarding psionic energy to the three newcomers.

"It seems that if one's spiritual energy reaches 100 points, one can strengthen their body, like a mutated animal," Nangong Yue analyzed.

"No matter what, it's definitely good stuff." Ding Hang looked eager to try it out, as if he couldn't wait to hunt down the mutated animals.

"I reckon this psionic energy corresponds to some system that hasn't been activated yet. Like how the Homestead System officially launches tomorrow, but some people got cards that seem to be from that system," Ji Ran said. Then he looked at Tang Qingyu, "Wasn't your dorm building flooded too? Did you get out using ladders like we did?"

Tang Qingyu was silent for two seconds before speaking: "On the day I transmigrated, I didn't sleep in the dormitory."

Didn't you sleep in the dorm?

Jiang Fan and the others exchanged glances, their faces showing suspicion.

Where can a freshman go if they don't have a dorm room?

Did she go out with her boyfriend?

Just then, Nangong Yue coughed lightly: "If I remember correctly, your maternal grandmother was a professor at our university."

"Okay." Tang Qingyu nodded. "I went to stay at my grandma's during the National Day holiday."

"Wait a minute, your grandmother should be in the faculty dormitory area, right?" Jiang Fan thought of Chen Ke's earlier guess. "Wasn't that area flooded by the lake?"

"Of course, I only found out how terrible the situation was yesterday evening when I came to take a look..."

"They weren't flooded?!" Ding Hang couldn't help but exclaim. "Then your points..."

"I managed to snatch some supplies from the supermarket, gathered some berries and wild vegetables in the wild, and oh right, I also hunted a small bird with the longbow that Grandpa Lin gave me. That's about it."

this...

The group exchanged glances, each feeling a complex mix of emotions.

They risked their lives to hunt down a single anaconda, but it wasn't as good as others digging for wild vegetables, picking berries, and shooting small birds.

Even with Jiang Fan's composure, he felt a bit speechless.

The two are worlds apart, like heaven and earth.

But soon he felt relieved. If what Tang Qingyu said was true, then her score should not be as high as his. It seemed that she had held back.

After all, the supplies he obtained through the key and the food he got from killing the anaconda were not insignificant.

I only gave some away, but I also received corresponding gratitude points.

Nangong Yue remained relatively calm. She looked at Tang Qingyu and said, "You risked crossing the rainforest to come to the West District, surely not just to tell us this?"

Tang Qingyu gave Nangong Yue an appreciative look: "When I came here last night, I talked to my roommates about finding a way to rescue them."

Jiang Fan's heart stirred; rescuing the survivors from the other three dormitories was indeed a good thing.

Furthermore, you can also gain some gratitude points from this, killing two birds with one stone.

But he showed no sign of anything amiss, calmly asking, "What do you plan to do?"

"Please wait a moment." Tang Qingyu turned and left.

Before long, a bright light shone, and she returned on an electric tricycle, seemingly out of nowhere.
