My talent panel can be increased.

Chapter 5 Holy crap, it was you!
"Are you sure? That's a pretty good offer."

Tang Ruobing asked suspiciously.

"I can't repay kindness with enmity, can I?"

Ye Mingqiu spread his hands and said.

"It's not that bad. There are only 27 support-type students in the senior year, and only 8 of them have successfully awakened their talents. Of those, only 3 of them have talents that can actually be used. And you are one of them. Of course, you are also the only one whose talents are almost useless after you awaken your skills," Tang Ruobing said.

"Actually, it's not entirely useless."

Ye Mingqiu's awkward explanation.

Tang Ruobing smiled politely and continued, "Currently, only one person in our school's senior support department has successfully become a psionicist, and she has already been successfully recruited by another college entrance examination preparation team."

"Normally, I could choose one of the remaining two people, but due to some special reasons, the headmaster didn't give me that opportunity and directly assigned you to me. Humph! That guy must be deliberately setting me up!"

"That guy is really wicked!" Ye Mingqiu chimed in, though he didn't know who it was.

Tang Ruobing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Actually, what the professional teacher said just now wasn't too wrong. You still have a big advantage."

"Do I really have potential? Can I really pass the Spirit Realm Trial in the shortest amount of time?"

Ye Mingqiu was extremely surprised. He had thought the teacher was lying to frame her, but he hadn't expected there to be another explanation.

"Well, really."

"Could you explain why?"

"Your base stats are low, but you have high potential. Moreover, your talent provides extra bonuses to strength and agility, allowing you to allocate more stats to spirit, which is the most needed attribute for support characters. Once your spirit reaches 10 points, you may be able to obtain many hero-level professions that ordinary support characters cannot obtain. In terms of potential alone, you are indeed very strong."

"but!"

Tang Ruobing changed the subject, staring intently at Ye Mingqiu, and continued, "To fully unleash your current potential and reach the theoretical maximum, you must spend a huge amount of resources to boost your mental attributes, and at the same time, you must raise the level of various combat specialties as much as possible, which is quite expensive."

"What if we raise them in poverty?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

Tang Ruobing paused for a moment, looked at Ye Mingqiu who only had 12 in all attributes during his senior year of high school, sighed, and said helplessly, "There are some things I don't want to say too clearly. You should know what I'm talking about."

With all attributes at only 12 in the final year of high school, it's questionable whether he can even reach the 20-point requirement for all attributes in the Spirit Realm Trial by the time he naturally grows to the point of the college entrance exam, let alone learn skills or improve his strength.

There are many subsidies and various benefits, totaling 20,000 to 30,000 per month. If you still can't improve despite having so many resources, it can only mean that your talent is extremely poor.

"Can you reimburse me for that?"

"No, you can buy things yourself. I can only help you with a plan."

"Ok."

Ye Mingqiu took out his communicator and said, "Let's add each other's contact information. Should I scan your code or will you scan mine?"

Scan me.

Tang Ruobing showed the QR code.

"Ding!"

QR code scan successful.

But the moment he succeeded, Ye Mingqiu's expression froze. He recognized the other person's profile picture and signature on the communicator, and the message below wasn't a request to add the person to his contacts, but rather a request to send a message or make a voice/video call.

His hands trembled as he tapped the developer message, only to see yesterday's chat history. Ye Mingqiu: (Pokes)
Kazuya: Jiang Jiang!
きりあめ: (ω)
Kiriame: Why did you suddenly have time to talk to me today, senior?

Ye Mingqiu: I just came across a cat video and it suddenly reminded me of what you said before about wanting to raise a Night Cat (share link).

Kazuya: Ahhh!

Yuki: So cute! !

きりあめ: ()
Kiriame: This cat's paws look like little clouds! But Mom said she won't let me have a cat until I'm in the top ten of my monthly exams qwq
Ye Mingqiu: It's alright, I'll teach you. It's just linear algebra and matrix theory. I just flipped through a few pages and understood it all. It's too easy!

Yuki: Wow, senior is so awesome!

Kiriame: Even though he's a warrior, he learns magic so quickly. Is this the legendary genius who's one in a million? That's amazing!
Kiriame: Senior, did you have any extra staves when you were adventuring in the spirit world? If so, could you leave some for me? Hehe!

Ye Mingqiu: Hmm.

Ye Mingqiu: I haven't shipped any goods recently, I've just had bad luck.

Yuki: It's okay!

He glanced at the chat history, then turned to look at the aloof Tang Ruobing on the other end, and silently clicked exit. He scanned her QR code again, but the user who appeared was still "Kiri Ame", exactly the same as before.

Tang Ruobing looked puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you add me? Is your internet connection slow?"

"I want to be quiet."

"Ok?"

Tang Ruobing frowned. She sensed that Ye Mingqiu's expression was quite strange, especially the way he looked at her. The shock, doubt, and disbelief in his eyes made her very uncomfortable.

So she snapped her fingers and used her mental power to control the communicator in Ye Mingqiu's hand, turning the screen in it towards her.

The chat history on the communicator appeared right in front of Tang Ruobing. She stared at the history, her expression freezing for a moment. She stared blankly at Ye Mingqiu, glanced at the chat history again, clicked exit, checked the user interface, and confirmed the other party's identity.

!

Tang Ruobing looked at the message she had sent and blushed instantly, her face turning bright red to the roots of her ears. The atmosphere in the meeting room became incredibly awkward.

She clenched her fists, her chest heaving rapidly, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, yelling, "Are you sick? Why are you pretending to be a senior who just graduated?"

Hearing this, Ye Mingqiu also lost his temper. He looked up at Tang Ruobing and shouted, "How dare you talk to me like that? Is it fun to pretend to be a first-year high school girl? Huh? Is it fun to trick me into learning linear algebra and matrix spaces? Do you even know how much effort I put into learning math before? Do you even know that?!"

"Are you out of your mind? I thought you were a mage pretending to be a warrior, but it turns out you're a support pretending to be a warrior, giving me magic-based problems. Why the hell don't you just learn magic?"

"I have no money!"

What about the money for support-type benefits?

"I spent money playing games with you!"

".unbelievable."

Tang Ruobing couldn't hold back any longer. She originally thought this guy had extremely poor talent, couldn't improve his attributes, and was bad at studying, but the real reason was that he usually studied magic-related content and even used the support-type welfare money to play games.

This is insane! Insane! Absolutely insane!
How could something so incredible exist!

Ahhhhh!

I can't believe I called this guy "senior" for so long! I hate it! Ugh!
