There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

Tan Zuoyin replied, "Yes, the textbook says that the highest level of ability one can break through to is Level 5, but after Level 3, you can only break through within the Other Dimension."

The homeroom teacher elaborated:

"That's right, abilities are a product of the emergence of Other Dimension Gates. So far, no harm to the human body has been found from awakening an ability.

Initially, people discovered that upon touching an Other Dimension Gate, their brains would receive a piece of information, sometimes a sentence, sometimes a word. Those who came into contact with the Other Dimension Gate all gained special abilities that corresponded to that sentence or word. The authorities then called these abilities 'Abilities' and took control of the first Other Dimension Gate.

The authorities studied the Other Dimension Gate for a year and discovered that this white hemisphere was not just a hemisphere, but an entire sphere, and that it was essentially a gate. Each entry was accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness. The healthier the person, the shorter the time they would be unconscious.

Three years later, the second Other Dimension Gate appeared. The authorities directly controlled it and built a military base around it. Later, every time a dimension gate appeared, they did the same.

After studying those who had come into contact with the Other Dimension Gates, the researchers found that their abilities became stronger as they used them more often. Eventually, they would encounter a bottleneck, but this bottleneck would be looser for those who frequently researched on the Other Dimension side.

Before this bottleneck appears, most people will experience their ability increasing significantly twice, or new derivative abilities will suddenly emerge. This is what is now called evolution, also known as a breakthrough.

Dean He defined the newly acquired ability as Level 1, one evolution as Level 2, two evolutions as Level 3, and then you would feel a bottleneck that you couldn't break through no matter what. Only in the Other Dimension world is there a very small chance to break through to Level 4."

Dean He seemed to be the dean of the Ability Academy. Qi Jing had seen this name in his textbook.

"Our country's first Level 5 ability user, [Hunter], broke through when the third Other Dimension Gate appeared, which was twenty years ago.

In the ten years since the emergence of this Other Dimension Gate, the research department discovered that abilities were not harmful to the human body, and that ability experts could play a great role. They then made public the existence of abilities and how to obtain them, and added the course 'Understanding Abilities' to compulsory education, stipulating that only those who scored above 75 on the 'Ethics and the Rule of Law' exam in the college entrance examination would be allowed to obtain abilities."

No wonder this world's college entrance examination still had the subject 'Ethics and the Rule of Law'.

However, as long as your thinking is even slightly normal, you can pass.

"That's not right, I went to awaken my ability the day after the exam. How would they know who got 75 points?"

Qi Jing found the blind spot.

"Modern artificial intelligence is not slow at all. In fact, your scores could be released the day you finished the exam."

Abilities drive technological development? Makes sense.

The homeroom teacher continued:

"Your parents' generation was roughly the first group of people to obtain abilities.

When you get to the Ability Academy, you will learn professional knowledge about abilities, and you can enter the Otherworld to break through bottlenecks. If you become a Level 5 ability user, our school will be proud of you."

After listening to the homeroom teacher's explanation about abilities, Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin became even more interested in the Ability Academy and the Other Dimension world.

"Teacher, what is the Otherworld like?"

Qi Jing asked the question that had been brewing in his mind for a long time.

The homeroom teacher said, "Well, that's confidential. You'll know when you go to the Ability Academy."

Qi Jing was speechless after hearing this.

"What, could it be that even you don't know, Old Teacher?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Don't you need a method to eat the big cake? I once entered an Other Dimension Gate and was fortunate enough to break through to Level 4. After I reached Level 4, my ability evolved a new function, which allows me to give food special properties, so that others who eat the food will also not feel full, and can also control the digestion speed of the food.

Theoretically, if I give a room full of food this ability, and you eat it all, then as long as you control the digestion speed, you can go without eating for a long time.

How about it, do you know how powerful your teacher is? There are only a few thousand Level 4 ability users in the country, and I am one of them."

Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin opened their mouths wide when they heard what the homeroom teacher said. It turned out that the teacher who had been with them day and night for three years was actually a Level 4 ability user.

You should know that there are thousands upon thousands of ability users in the country, but only a few thousand Level 4 ability users.

"Then teacher, do you have any way to make our abilities level up faster?"

Qi Jing thought that the homeroom teacher was only in his thirties or forties, and that he must have a way to advance so quickly.

The homeroom teacher said, "Everyone's abilities are different, but their common point is that they need to consume a kind of energy of their own. In college, you will learn that this energy is called Source Power. You can understand it as the release of skills requires a mana bar, and people need Source Power to use abilities."

Mana bar? I'm familiar with that.

Correct analogies can indeed improve students' learning efficiency.

"Leveling up abilities does not necessarily require expanding the total amount of Source Power, but expanding the total amount of Source Power will reduce the difficulty of leveling up abilities.

There are only two ways to expand the total amount of Source Power. One is to use your own abilities more often. The more you use them, the faster your abilities will level up, and the faster your Source Power will increase. Most people level up this way.

The second is that special abilities can directly increase Source Power. For example, my 'Eating' ability can convert the food I eat into Source Power for me to absorb. Although the conversion efficiency is a bit touching, it is also a way to increase the total amount of Source Power, which is slightly faster than ordinary people.

Unfortunately, the food I give cannot increase Source Power for others, otherwise I could also go to the Otherworld and be a personal food processor."

"Finally, in the Other Dimension world, your cultivation will be faster, so high-level ability users always like to run over there."

No wonder you usually can't see high-level ability users, it turns out they are all in the Otherworld.

Seeing the two people who were obviously thinking about high-level ability users, the homeroom teacher reminded them:

"Also, everyone's aptitude is different, and the leveling speed of each ability is also different. Don't blindly compare yourself with others. Let him be fast, maybe he can't beat you.

"Then teacher, can you not beat us now?" Qi Jing felt that the Old Teacher's ability was not an ability that could enhance combat power, and it would be easy for two people to beat one person.

The homeroom teacher knocked on Qi Jing's little head:

"What are you thinking? Every upgrade will increase your physical strength. Even if my ability can't fight, with my body, it's no problem to beat you two Level 1 small fries.

Didn't you say when you awakened yesterday that you can't directly enter the Otherworld, but as long as you level up to Level 2, your physical strength will be enough to support you without passing out, although there will still be a little dizziness."

"Teacher, how many Level 5 ability users are there in the world?" Qi Jing asked another question.

Tan Zuoyin said to Qi Jing, "Thirty-four, don't you read the Oddities Network?"

Qi Jing recalled his memory. It seemed that he had read it, but he only had a slight impression. He would go back and check.

The homeroom teacher pinched his chin and replied, "The global surface data is thirty-four, but in reality, there should be more than that.

Every Level 5 ability user is a very powerful existence, and it is reasonable to hide a little."

"Teacher, teacher, are there any Level 6 ability users?"

"As for Level 6, let's learn about it when you are Level 5. It's noon, do you want to go home with me for a meal?" The homeroom teacher looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was time for lunch.

"Then that would be a lot of trouble."

"You really aren't polite, let's go, remember to call your family."

Let's go, let's see how the cooking skills of a decades-old foodie are!
