Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

Everyone else's talent is at the A, B, C level, but mine is at some kind of BUG level, which sounds incredibly powerful, and there are two of them!

Ignoring everything else, Lin Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at the talent description.

The Shepherd (Only)

[Level: BUG]

[Talent Ability: Kill enemies, herd their souls, and plunder their talents for your own use. The maximum number of souls that can be herded is 5. You can undo the herding at will and replace the souls!]

[Note: All beings are lambs, and you are the supreme ruler who shepherds them...]

...

【Chaos Critical Strike (Unique)】

[Level: BUG]

[Talent Ability: Can critically strike items, randomly granting them various magical effects, both positive and negative. (Note: Each item can only critically strike once. In-game items are guaranteed to crit and gain their effect, while the success rate of critical strikes for ordinary items is extremely low.)]

[Note: Chaos... Distortion...]

After seeing his two innate abilities, Lin Yuan was completely stunned.

The Shepherd can possess five talents simultaneously. By killing enemies with talents and herding them, you can plunder their talents for your own use!

Most importantly, it can be replaced at any time. If you encounter a more powerful talent, you can simply replace the weaker one. You don't have to worry about future development at all. Talent power can be flexibly combined to make your combat power explode and become a hexagonal war god!

The [Chaos Critical Strike] talent isn't as simple as it seems. Although the critical strike effect on items is random, with both good and bad results possible, and each item only has one critical strike chance, what if the resulting magical effect is incredibly powerful? Turning the rotten into the miraculous—that's practically the power of the creator!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt an eagerness to try out this ability as soon as possible!

"Lin Yuan, judging from your appearance, you must have awakened a talent as well, right?"

Anxin waved her hand in front of Lin Yuan's eyes and asked with a light laugh.

"Yes, that's right, you too?"

Lin Yuan snapped out of his daze and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Great! Looks like we're all lucky ones!"

Upon hearing this, An Xin smiled even more broadly. After all, both of them possessed talent, which was a significant advantage. She didn't hide anything and was the first to reveal her own talent:

"My talent is S-rank [Healing], which can heal injuries and restore status. Most importantly, I also have a talent ability called 'Refusal to Die,' which allows me to avoid death twice. Both I and my teammates can use it!"

Absolution?

Lin Yuan was shocked. As expected of an S-level talent, this ability is too overpowered. In the game, it's like having an extra life compared to others. Who wouldn't want that!

However, Anxin's talent is good, but her support attributes are maxed out. She will die if she goes out alone. Without a strong teammate, she may not be able to survive even the slightest danger. She must have an extremely strong teammate to protect her and support her from behind, so that the effect of 1+1 is greater than 2!

Hmm, not bad, it matches me perfectly.

Lin Yuan thought to himself, and then showed off his [Chaos Critical Strike] talent. He did not reveal his other talent, [Shepherd], in its entirety. He would reveal it later when the time was right and he had the trust of others.

"Critical strike items, a bug-level talent? That's incredible, I've never even heard of such a thing!"

Anxin covered her rosy lips and let out an incredulous gasp.

After all, the prompt indicated that the highest talent level was S-rank, but Lin Yuan had now obtained a BUG-level talent, and it sounded like the talent's ability was incredibly overpowered!

Her eyes shone with admiration as she looked at Lin Yuan, very satisfied with her teammate. This meant the two of them would be able to withstand more unknown dangers and survive in the game.

"Hey Lin Yuan, since you can crit items, let's try crit the dorm doors and windows! They're all broken and dilapidated, it makes us feel so unsafe!"

Suddenly, An Xin seemed to remember something, pointed to the wooden door of the dormitory and the window next to it, and said.

The main door for entering and exiting the dormitory is made of wood and is dilapidated, giving the impression that it could be kicked open and people could walk in.

Not only the main gate, but also the windows were like that. There were no guardrails, just two glass windows. You could easily smash them with any stone and climb in through the window!

Looking out the window, all that could be seen was darkness, a hazy fog, utter silence, without a single ray of light or sound, which sent chills down one's spine!

No wonder An Xin said she felt unsafe. With just a rickety door and easily shattered windows, how could anyone feel at ease with such a defenseless defense? Any man with a little strength could easily break in...

"That's exactly what I was thinking; we're on the same page."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan turned to look at the doors and windows and nodded in deep agreement.

In an unfamiliar environment, it's essential to boost your sense of security immediately; otherwise, you'll always be on edge, which won't work.

"Then I'll try the critical hit gate first and see if I can change anything."

Stepping to the gate, Lin Yuan reached out and placed his hand on it.

A notification popped up in front of me.

[Dilapidated wooden door]

Upgrading requires category blueprints and materials.

In the game, items that have a description pop up are item types, which can be upgraded and have special effects, while those without a description are just ordinary items.

According to the [Chaos Critical Strike] ability, item critical strikes are guaranteed to succeed, while the success rate of ordinary items is extremely low.

Lin Yuan looked at the dormitory door in front of him. He didn't have any blueprints or materials, so he couldn't upgrade it. Therefore, he directly used the critical strike talent!

[Critical hit successful! You can choose one of the following effects.]

[Push and Open: Anyone can open your room door; its main feature is easy access!]

[See-through door: The door becomes see-through, allowing you to easily see what's behind it, but others can also easily see everything inside the room!]

[Upgrade Iron Gate: Directly upgrade from the current wooden gate to an iron gate, and all materials required for future upgrades will be halved!]

What the hell is this effect?!

Lin Yuan's face darkened upon seeing the first two effects, and he began to curse inwardly.

What rubbish! It opens with a push? Anyone can walk into my dorm, right? Choosing this is no different from courting death.

There's no need to even look at the second one. You'd be more likely to ask me to see through things, but seeing through doors is nothing! I don't have an exhibitionist streak!

The third effect is normal; not only does the dilapidated wooden door become an iron door, but you can also enjoy the benefit of halving the upgrade materials in the future.

It's not bad. After comparing them, I had no choice but to choose this one.

"Choose to upgrade to iron gates!"

Lin Yuan made his choice after a moment's thought.

Then, the wooden door in front of him flashed with light, and a thick-looking iron door replaced it!

"Wow! Lin Yuan, your critical strike talent is amazing! You turned the wooden door into an iron door – a complete transformation!"

Seeing this, An Xin was so excited that she couldn't help but grab Lin Yuan's arm and shake it while excitedly saying something.

Without paying anything, just by using his innate power, he gained such great benefits!

Both were beginners at the start, but he immediately took a huge lead over others!

It's like everyone is living in a thatched hut and struggling there, while you suddenly move into a big villa without lifting a finger. How wonderful that feels!

"Haha, I didn't expect the critical strike talent to be so powerful. We've really upgraded from a slingshot to a cannon!"

Lin Yuan grinned, then looked meaningfully at An Xin's hand that was holding his arm.

"Ah!" An Xin finally realized what was happening, quickly withdrew her hand, blushed, lowered her head, and dared not look Lin Yuan in the eye.

How embarrassing! Anxin, what are you doing? Where did your ladylike composure go?

Lin Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. He knew this was a good sign; the aloof school beauty was beginning to trust him...

"I'll smash the windows first; no matter what, we need to improve the sense of security in both of our rooms!"

After saying that, he walked to the glass window, ready to use his talent.

The two of us? In the room?

Anxin blushed even more. She had never had such an experience before, not even holding hands with a boy!

But from now on, I'll be living in the same room as him...

The girl quickly stole a few glances at Lin Yuan.

Although he was somewhat unreliable and often teased her, the girl was captivated by his carefree and unrestrained nature, as well as the rebellious air about him.

Lin Yuan, with his carefree and roguish demeanor, seemed far more charismatic than the suitors who usually pretended to be refined and polite in front of him.

Anxin mentally tormented herself, and finally discovered that she didn't dislike Lin Yuan at all; in fact, just looking at him made her heart race, and she wanted to learn more about this bad student...
