I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

"C-rank earth-type esper, Wang Fang, eight-person room."

Following the announcements, players of different levels were assigned to different rooms. The design of the dormitory building itself implies a hierarchy: single rooms are equipped with private bathrooms and training rooms, while dormitories for 12 only have the most basic facilities.

"Why can she live in a single room?" A girl in plain clothes whispered, "Isn't it just because her family is rich and bought strengthening potions in advance?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Her roommate quickly pulled her sleeve, "I heard that Su Mei's supernatural perception is particularly sharp."

At this moment, a pretty girl wearing glasses walked to the registration desk. She looked ordinary, but when the supernatural detector scanned her, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

"This... this?" The staff looked at the data in shock. "Your ability fluctuations... are too unusual."

Everyone's eyes were focused on this seemingly ordinary girl. Even Su Mei, who was about to go upstairs, stopped and squinted her eyes to look at her.

"Wang Yuxin," the girl pushed up her glasses and said softly, "My ability may be somewhat special."

The staff member quickly came to his senses: "According to regulations, people with special abilities are also arranged in single rooms." This decision immediately caused a lot of discussion.

At night, the cafeteria on the first floor was bustling with activity.

Girls from each room gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the upcoming competition.

The air was filled with various supernatural auras, the warmth of fire, the coolness of water, and the lightness of wind, intertwined with each other.

Chapter 739 No need

"Have you heard? The girl in single room number four is said to be an orphan."

"Is this true? Where does her powerful ability come from?"

"I think she is just hiding her talents. Maybe she is even more powerful than Su Mei!"

Just as everyone was gossiping, the glass in the cafeteria suddenly shook violently, and a strong wind pressure swept in. Su Mei stood at the door and glanced at everyone coldly: "Tomorrow is the first round of tests. I hope your strength is not just reflected in your words."

In a single room, Wang Yuxin sat quietly in front of the window, the moonlight shining through the window onto her face.

She took off her glasses, and a mysterious light flashed in her eyes: "Finally, I don't have to hide it anymore."

This night is destined to be a restless night.

Lights are on in every room. Some people are training intensively, some are praying silently, and some are formulating strategies...and this selection that determines fate has just begun.

As night fell, the air in the eight-person dormitory building for superpower athletes was filled with the faint scent of jasmine. Several girls sat on the carpet, looking at each other in the soft light. In this energy-shielded space, they all temporarily became ordinary girls, letting go of their usual guard.

"I'm not used to it. I feel so light." A girl with twin ponytails, Xiaolin, complained. She was wearing pink pajamas and had a little baby fat on her round face, which made her look particularly cute. "When I'm at home, I can use my wind power to roll snacks directly over to me!"

"Students from your aristocratic school are really spoiled." The short-haired girl sitting in the corner snorted coldly. Her name is Alan. She is wearing a washed-out T-shirt, and her bronze skin reveals the traces of years of training outside. "In our training camp in the north, we often have to practice in an environment of minus 30 degrees."

"Hey, don't be so aggressive!" A hot girl tried to smooth things over. Her name was Hong'er, she had long wine-red hair and was wearing a sexy suspender nightgown. "Come, try the snacks I brought, they are specialties from the south!"

"I... I also brought some cakes from my hometown..." In the corner, a girl wearing black-framed glasses spoke timidly. Her name was Xiaoxue, she had no makeup on, wore plain cotton pajamas, and always lowered her head when she spoke. "Although it's not something expensive..."

"Wow! This is delicious!" Xiaolin took a bite of the pastry and his eyes lit up. "Xiaoxue, where are you from?"

"I... I come from a small town in the western mountains." Xiaoxue pushed her glasses. "The people there are very simple and honest. We make a living by growing medicinal herbs."

"No wonder your healing ability is so strong!" Hong'er exclaimed, "I heard that you cured all the wounded in the training camp by yourself?"

Xiaoxue's face suddenly turned red: "That's because... I have been learning herbal knowledge from my grandmother since I was a child..."

"Compared to this," Alan suddenly sat up straight, "Have you heard about it? The mysterious girl in the single room next door?"

The room suddenly fell silent. Yes, they had all heard about the girl named Wang Yuxin, whose special abilities were said to be so powerful that even the detectors could not accurately determine them.

"I heard..." Xiaolin lowered his voice, "She was found in an abandoned research institute. No one knows her true identity."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Hong'er patted Xiaolin's head. "Don't spread rumors at this time. But... she is indeed very special. When we were in the cafeteria today, I noticed that her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts."

"Speaking of which..." Alan seemed to be thinking, "Have you noticed that, although this place can block supernatural powers, every time she passes by, there is always a strange fluctuation in the air."

"Don't say such terrible things!" Xiaolin shrank his neck, "Hey, what do you think will be the test tomorrow?"

Once the topic changed, the girls started discussing it enthusiastically again.

The early morning sun shone fiercely on the selection venue, and hundreds of girls sat neatly on the makeshift stands. The consequences of staying up late last night were now clearly visible, and many of them were holding back yawns, with dark circles under their eyes.

"Oh my god, my makeup is almost ruined..." Xiaolin in the eight-person room rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered in frustration. Ah Lan beside her was energetic, but her bronze face looked a little tired.

On the judges' panel, Zhang Chen was dressed in a dark suit, with sharp eyes and a strong aura. Beside him sat several senior teachers from the academy, looking through the contestants' information.

"Next one, the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Qingcheng."

A girl in a custom-made crystal dress walked onto the stage gracefully, her skirt fluttering in the wind and the diamond hair accessories on her head sparkling in the sun.

"Respected Lord Zhang Chen," Mo Qingcheng performed a standard noble salute, her voice sweet, "Before showing my supernatural power, I would like to introduce the history of our Mo family. Our family can be traced back three hundred years ago..."

The contestants in the audience began to get restless. Hong Er quietly wiped the sweat off her forehead: "We've been talking for almost 20 minutes, and it's still not over..."

"It is said that her family owns more than a dozen mansions in the imperial capital..." Xiaoxue said in a low voice.

Zhang Chen's frown deepened. The sun had already risen to the sky, and the scorching rays made the girls in the stands feel very uncomfortable.

"That's enough." Zhang Chen suddenly spoke in a cold voice, "Ms. Mo, you have wasted everyone's time."

Mo Qingcheng was stunned: "But... I haven't shown my ability yet..."

"No need for that." Zhang Chen stood up, his eyes flashing. "A person who doesn't even know how to cherish time is not worthy of being my maid. You are eliminated."

The whole place was silent. Mo Qingcheng's face turned pale, and even her carefully made-up face couldn't hide her panic: "No... Impossible! I am the eldest daughter of the Mo family!"

"Because you are the eldest daughter of the Mo family, you should know how to respect others." Zhang Chen's voice was unquestionable, "Next."

Mo Qingcheng stumbled down the stage, her exquisite crystal shoes making crisp sounds on the steps. Her personal maid hurried forward to help her, but she pushed her away: "It's all your fault! You didn't remind me to keep it brief!"

There was a lot of discussion in the stands.

"You deserve it! You made us stay in the sun for so long." Alan did not hide his dissatisfaction.

"If I had known I wouldn't have put on such heavy makeup..." Kobayashi looked at her melting foundation in annoyance.

Hong Er seemed to be thinking: "Master Zhang Chen values ​​a person's character, not his family background."

Xiaoxue nodded silently, holding the prepared competition number plate tightly in her hand.

In the corridor of the single room in the distance, Wang Yuxin leaned against the window, with a slight smile on her face: "Interesting..."

Chapter 740: Proud Student

"Next one, Li Xiaoyan!"

A girl with a ponytail jumped onto the stage with great energy. She was wearing a modified school uniform, a red short skirt with black leggings, looking youthful and beautiful.

"I need some props for my presentation..." Li Xiaoyan blinked and snapped her fingers. Two staff members dragged a pink piglet onto the stage with difficulty. The pig weighed about 40 kilograms and was pink all over.

"Hahaha! What is she going to do? Kill a pig on the spot?"

"Are you planning to perform an animal taming show?"

There was laughter from the audience.

But the situation was worse than expected. As soon as the pig got on the stage, it broke free from the ropes and ran wildly on the ring. Li Xiaoyan chased the pig around in circles, her skirt flying, looking miserable.

"Oi! Don't run!"

To make matters worse, the frightened piglet actually defecated on the stage! A strong stench instantly filled the air.

"Oh my god! That's disgusting!"

“This is so unprofessional!”

The girls in the stands covered their mouths and noses, and even the mentors on the judges' panel frowned.

Li Xiaoyan's face flushed red, but a sly light suddenly flashed in her eyes. She waved her hands, and a circle of flames suddenly rose at the edge of the ring, forming a perfect wall of fire.

"Dear judges, dear students," her voice suddenly became confident, "Next, please enjoy my 'One Minute Food Show'!"

The fire wall slowly tightened, and the frightened piglet was trapped in the middle. Li Xiaoyan's fingers moved flexibly, and countless tiny flames danced like elves. Some flames were removing the pig's hair, some were adjusting the temperature, and some were even outlining the shapes of various spices in the air.

"Is this...precision temperature-controlled cooking?" someone in the judges' booth exclaimed.

In just one minute, the flames dissipated. In the center of the ring, a golden and crispy roasted suckling pig was emitting an enticing aroma. The pig skin was crispy, the meat was tender, and it was dotted with a few green herbs.

"Please enjoy it!" Li Xiaoyan snapped her fingers, and the roasted suckling pig was instantly cut into even small pieces and floated towards the audience.

“Oh my god! It’s so delicious!”

"This timing is too perfect!"

“The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, it melts in your mouth!”

Even the usually serious Zhang Chen couldn't help laughing: "Interesting. It seems that young girls nowadays not only know how to fight and kill, but also understand the art of living." He tasted the barbecue in his hand elegantly, "Fire power is not only a destructive force, but also can create delicious food. Very good, passed!"

Li Xiaoyan bowed happily and skipped off the stage. When she passed by the girls in the eight-person room, she winked playfully: "How was it? I secretly practiced for a long time last night!"

"So this is why you went to the kitchen last night!" Xiao Lin suddenly realized.

"No wonder I smelled barbecue!" Hong'er laughed.

Even the usually indifferent Ah Lan gave a thumbs up: "Very creative!"

Wang Yuxin in the corner looked at all this thoughtfully, with a slight smile on her face: "It's interesting to turn shortcomings into advantages..."

"Next one, Zhang Xiaoyu!"

A girl in a water-blue dress slowly walked onto the stage. Her long hair fell like a waterfall, and her eyes were as clear as spring water. In the sun, her fair skin seemed to glow.

On the judges' panel, a beautiful woman in an indigo dress named Joanna suddenly sat up straight with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and her slender fingers drew a graceful arc in the air. In an instant, the water molecules in the air began to vibrate violently, and countless tiny water droplets gathered from all directions.

"So beautiful..." the audience exclaimed.

The water droplets spun and condensed in the air, gradually forming a huge water ball. The sunlight refracted through the water ball, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, as if the entire arena was shrouded in an underwater world.

"Did you see that?" Qiao Na couldn't help but say to Zhang Chen, her eyes full of pride, "This is my most proud disciple. Her control over water molecules has reached the extreme."

The water ball was getting bigger and bigger, with a diameter of more than three meters. There were even complex vortices inside, like a miniature ocean. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Zhang Xiaoyu's forehead. It was obvious that maintaining such a huge water ball required extremely strong mental strength.

"Hold on a little longer..." Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, trying to make the water ball bigger.

Just then, an accident happened.

With a "crack" sound, like the sound of glass breaking, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the water ball, and then spread rapidly.

"Not good!" Joanna's face changed drastically.

"boom!"

The huge water ball exploded with a bang! Countless water jets shot out in all directions like cannonballs. The audience screamed and tried to dodge, but the water flow was too fast.

At the critical moment, Zhang Chen stood up suddenly and drew a golden rune in the air with his right hand. A translucent energy barrier instantly unfolded, completely covering the judges' seats and the audience seats.

"Pah, pah, pah!" The water hit the energy barrier, making a crisp sound, and then turned into fine mist and dissipated.

Zhang Xiaoyu, who was standing in the middle of the ring, was soaked to the skin. Her wet hair stuck to her face and her carefully prepared skirt was wrinkled. She lowered her head in shame: "I'm...I'm sorry..."

"It's okay," Zhang Chen said in a gentle but powerful voice. "Controlling such a huge water ball is not an easy task. You have already demonstrated a strong talent."

"Yeah," Joanna also comforted, "You know, when I first tried large-scale water polo, I flooded the entire training ground!"

This sentence made everyone laugh, and the tense atmosphere was immediately eased.

"However," Zhang Chen added, "as an excellent psychic, in addition to pursuing the limits of strength, one must also learn to be moderate. Sometimes, a small and exquisite display can better reflect a person's strength."

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, and the frustration in her heart gradually dissipated. She knew that this failure had taught her a valuable lesson.

"Okay," Zhang Chen announced, "Considering the talent and potential you've shown, you've passed!"

There was applause from the audience. The girls in the room of eight waved their hands excitedly: "Xiaoyu, you are awesome!"

Wang Yuxin in the corner was thoughtful: "Interesting... It seems that Master Zhang Chen's selection criteria are not just based on ability..."

In the evening, the cafeteria of the contestants' dormitory building was bustling with people. The workers had just finished a day's work, and their clothes were still stained with dirt and sweat. They lined up to get food with aluminum trays, with tired but satisfied smiles on their faces.

"I've really made a killing today!" an old man with wrinkles all over his face said cheerfully, "I came here just to have dinner, but I didn't expect to see such a wonderful performance! Even though I got soaked like a drowned rat..." He shook his clothes that were still dripping with water.

Chapter 741 Weird Girl

"That's right!" the middle-aged woman next to him said, "I've never smelled the aroma of roasted suckling pig before in my life!"

"It's a pity that I didn't get to eat it..." her son, a little boy in his early teens, muttered.

Suddenly, a shrill sound interrupted their conversation.
