Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

Hearing this, Li Chenqiu stood in place and pondered for a moment.

Since he was already here, it didn't seem like he would lose anything by listening.

Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu sat back down and looked at everyone, saying, "Then tell me about it!"

The crowd looked delighted and began to pull on Li Chenqiu's arm, chattering away.

"Think about it, don't the top-ranked academies have many geniuses? If you enter those academies, will you be unique? Will the academy treat you like a treasure and nurture you?"

"Exactly! They won't treat you like a treasure, but we will! If you come here, you'll be the treasure of the entire academy. All the resources will be yours, and everyone will be at your service. Do you think those four major academies can do that?"

"Apart from the teaching staff, which we can't compare to, we can give you better in everything else. If the academy has any Resurgence Beasts you want to eat, they're all yours, without limit!"

"If you come to Yuelan Academy, you don't need to live in the student dormitory. You can live in a villa with your mentor. You can live with whoever you want!"

"They're all making empty promises. Let me talk about something practical..."

...

One hour later...

"In the future, when you and your wife have children, you won't have to worry about their schooling at all. The school district housing around City No. 1 Middle School is all owned by our academy. You..."

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, a knock came from the door, and the originally noisy room instantly fell silent.

Li Chenqiu, who was feeling drowsy, looked towards the door, "Could it be those people who have found us?"

"No way, didn't I make the bus invisible?"

"Yeah, even if they could find us, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"

The crowd discussed in hushed voices, but no one made a move to open the door.

"I know you're all in there. Open the door and let me join in the fun," a young voice called from outside.

The people in the room exchanged glances. One of them mustered their courage and asked, "Who are you?"

"Li Shu from Star Plucking," the young man outside the door said calmly.

The light words exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap, and everyone froze in place.

"If you don't open the door, I'm going to force my way in," the young man's voice carried a hint of playfulness.

Hearing this, the young woman standing near the door looked back at the crowd. Seeing that no one spoke or objected, she twisted the doorknob with a "click."

The door was pushed open, and a handsome young man walked in with a smile. Behind him was a simple and honest-looking middle-aged man.

Li Chenqiu recognized this middle-aged man. Wasn't he Zhu Cheng, who drove him to the Special Abilities Division?

"Uncle Zhu, why are you here?" Li Chenqiu asked curiously.

Zhu Cheng gave the crowd a somewhat restrained smile before turning to Li Chenqiu, "I came with this kid."

"That's right, I brought Uncle Zhu here," the young man smiled brightly and walked slowly to Li Chenqiu, extending his hand. "Let me introduce myself. Li Shu from Star Plucking Academy."

"Ordinary resident, Li Chenqiu," Li Chenqiu said, shaking Li Shu's hand.

Beneath Li Chenqiu's deep eyes, a hint of imperceptible vigilance flashed. His sixth sense told him that the smiling young man before him was strong, very formidable.

"Oh, what a coincidence, we share the same surname!" Li Shu smiled kindly, then withdrew his hand and looked at the others in the room. "Are you finished talking? If you're finished, it's my turn."

After a few seconds of silence, a respected elder straightened his back and said, "We've said almost everything. You go ahead!"

"Thank you," Li Shu clasped his hands together in thanks, then sat down next to Li Chenqiu without any ceremony.

"Haven't heard of Star Plucking Academy?" Li Shu asked in a low voice.

Li Chenqiu nodded in confusion.

Logically speaking, an academy that could make these people so fearful should be among the top in the Federation, but he had never heard of Star Plucking Academy, an academy for the gifted.

Li Shu didn't seem surprised and explained, "Star Plucking Academy isn't a traditional academy in the strict sense, so it's not included in the rankings of gifted academies. Plus, the academy isn't located in a city, so few people know about it."

"Not a traditional academy?" A hint of confusion appeared between Li Chenqiu's brows.

"Actually, in my opinion, our academy is just an ordinary academy. The non-traditional aspect is just the outside world's perception of our academy. Does anyone here want to share their thoughts on Star Plucking?"

The previous elder slowly opened his mouth, "Hehe, since you want me to tell this child, then I will..."

In the time that followed, the elder completely revealed Star Plucking Academy to Li Chenqiu.

Star Plucking Academy was an academy with a graduation rate of only 32%. The reason for the low graduation rate wasn't because the courses were difficult, but because most people didn't live to see the day they received their diplomas.

Star Plucking Academy firmly believed that only by hovering on the line of death could one truly stimulate a person's full potential, so they encouraged killing and encouraged competition.

The tasks assigned by the academy were directly connected to the Security Administration Division. All resources depended on one's own ability to snatch them. The strongest became the teacher, and the strongest set the rules.

This was the so-called Star Plucking Academy, an academy above the laws of the Federation!

In the room, Li Chenqiu asked the elder in confusion, "How can the Federation allow an academy to be above the law?"

Before the elder could speak, Li Shu spoke first:

"The graduates from Star Plucking Academy are all geniuses among geniuses, and they hold important positions in the Federation. The current Director of the Security Administration Division came from Star Plucking Academy, and the previous President of the Federation also came from Star Plucking Academy."

After hearing Li Shu's words, Li Chenqiu suddenly understood.

No wonder they could be above the law. It turned out that the people at the top were all their own!

"Although the environment at Star Plucking is harsh, if you are strong, it will be paradise. The choice is yours. If you want to go, find me in 3012 downstairs."

After speaking, Li Shu led Zhu Cheng straight out of the room.

After the door closed, the originally quiet room instantly became lively.

"Child, you must not be bewitched by what Li Shu said. Star Plucking is not a place for people to stay. It's full of war-loving madmen!"

"That's right, and Star Plucking forces students to take on tasks. Those tasks are the ones that the Special Abilities Division can't solve and throws to the Security Administration Division. You're only a First Restriction, and you don't have any background. How are you going to deal with those Resurgence Beasts?"

"You have to live well first, then consider becoming stronger. Even if you don't join Star Plucking, you can still go far in the future and have a good life. Don't let yourself be blinded by some President or Director. It's all lies!"

Everyone persuaded earnestly.

Li Chenqiu shook his head, "You're wrong. I can only live well by becoming stronger first. Thank you for your hospitality."

Li Chenqiu stood up, nodded politely to everyone, and then left the room.
