Bai Yu was a bad student before he transmigrated, but it was not because he did not like reading.
On the contrary.
It was because he loved reading too much.
However, he read all kinds of strange magazines, supernatural books, thrillers, and myths, so his grades were always lower than the rest of the students in class.
However, after transmigrating to this parallel world that was similar to Earth.
Mysticism, Supernatural Biology, Sealed Biology… These subjects were interesting to Bai Yu, so in just three years, he had completed a magnificent turn.
A comeback from being an underachiever to the top student!
At this moment, Bai Yu was working on the questions while thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
Strictly speaking, this was his first time encountering a supernatural incident. From the reports he had seen in the past and the cases analyzed by the teachers in class, these things were completely unreasonable when it came to killing people.
The most important thing when encountering a supernatural incident was to remain calm!
He absolutely could not lose his composure right now.
“That woman must have knocked on something in her room. Now, it seems that this is very likely the source of her mutation. After I closed my door and left, her condition rapidly deteriorated and she instantly lost her mind.
“After she completed the mutation, she went straight to my residence again. This proves that her obsession with me during her time being alive affected the mutated body! Although she was already dead the moment the mutation was completed, some parts of her remained.
“So her deepest obsession in life was for me to sleep with her?”
Bai Yu’s expression was strange, and his scalp went numb.
He recalled that every time he went to collect the rent, this female streamer seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally pulling down her collar, wearing very thin clothes, and saying that she wanted to have a meal with him.
At that time, Bai Yu thought that she was just being polite.
Now, it seemed that there was more to it than meets the eye!
This woman did all of this with the intention of sleeping with him!
This whole time, he had been rejecting her because he never liked eating noodles.
“If I were to be caught by this mutated body, my end would definitely be worse than death!”
Bai Yu felt a chill and hurriedly began to solve the last problem on the exercise book.
His counter had already reached 29,999.
This problem was not considered difficult. It asked to list the names and specific effects of the five S-grade sealed artifacts.
“S fifteen, Whispers of Darkness. Its appearance is a music box. Its effect is to kill any living creature that hears its voice without discrimination. Its range is about three kilometers.
“S twenty three, Demon Contract. Its appearance is a piece of paper that is made up of the skins of various living creatures. The effect is that you can use some kind of equivalent exchange to get any information you want from the paper. However, the person who holds it will lose everything in the end, including their lives.
“S twenty nine, Stagnant Water…”
S-grade sealed artifacts were rarely revealed.
These sealed artifacts were sealed because they had caused a catastrophic supernatural incident at one point in time. They were reported by the media and received attention from the society. In the end, they were taken in and resolved to be hidden away from prying eyes. The higher-ups were unable to suppress the news, so they were gloomily mentioned in textbooks to alert the world of its dangerous power.
Bai Yu had checked before. There were only 11 S-grade sealed artifacts that were made public. He had memorized all of them.
After listing all five items.
The counter in Bai Yu’s mind finally reached 30,000, and a change occurred.
The translucent square box suddenly turned into countless white lights, and in an instant, a white space was constructed in Bai Yu’s consciousness.
This was a room that was about ten square meters.
In the center of the room, it looked like there was a game panel. It even showed a huge screen that listed data.
Looking at it, it showed many different things.
[Mysticism: Level 1 (0/1000)]
[Potionology: Level 1 (0/1000)]
[Magic Kinetic Energy: Level 0 (0/100)]
[Sealing Science: Level 0 (0/100)]
[Psionic Science: Level 1 (0/1000)]
[Mechanics: Level 0 (0/100)]
[Extraordinary Biology: Level 0 (0/100)]
[Ancient Martial Arts: Level 0 (0/100)]
There were a total of eight subjects, most of which were at level zero, and they all formed a knowledge tree on each subject.
This was not Bai Yu’s fault.
High schools mainly studied Mysticism, Potionology, and Spiritualism. They would not dabble too much in other subjects, so it was beyond his scope of knowledge about some of these things.
Plus, in this world, apart from school, there was a great price to pay for coming into contact with mystic knowledge from other places.
He looked away from the screen. Bai Yu noticed that there was a lottery machine in the corner. However, the screen showed that his lottery number was zero and he did not know what else to do with that information.
Other than that, next to the knowledge tree, there was also a taskbar.
[Normal Difficulty: Exploring the path of the mystical requires a strong willpower and mental endurance. This is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires accumulated training over time. Any strong quality would begin from the basics. After watching five ghost movies, your endurance towards fear would become even stronger!]
[Current Progress: 0/5.]
[Reward: 100 Ancient Martial Arts knowledge points, and a trash quality potion formula!]
Tilting his head, he swiped to see another option.
[Elite Difficulty: The source of the mutation is strange and untraceable. You must be very knowledgeable about what caused your neighbor’s mutation. Infiltrate the female host’s room and investigate the source of the distortion!]
[Reward: 200 Mysticism knowledge points, one lucky draw, one ordinary-quality potion formula!]
Rolling his eyes, he looked at the other final option.
[Nightmare Difficulty: Facing the odd situation would cause a lot more trouble. However, only by experiencing the situation head on will one understand the true meaning of this world. You must be alone in a quiet and enclosed environment, then, chant the following secret language repeatedly for 10 minutes…]
[Reward: Unknown! Hint — This mission carries great risks, it is not recommended for beginners!)
It was quite a conscientious hint provided.
The nightmare difficulty was obviously a trap.
Even the reward was unknown, who knew what would be triggered after chanting the given words. There was a possibility that if one failed the mental intelligence test, it would directly trigger the death flag.
In his previous life, he had seen many death-seeking videos on Earth, so naturally he would not easily seek that option.
Nightmare difficulty was denied.
Now, only normal difficulty and elite difficulty remained.
He could not complete the normal difficulty right now due to time constraints.
He would have to wait until dawn to watch the five horror movies. He did not have that luxury at all.
“In that case, only elite difficulty remains. Guess I’ll have to venture into the lion’s den.”
Bai Yu’s gaze hesitated for a moment before selecting that option.
There was a lot of equipment that Bai Yu did not know about in this space of more than ten square meters. For example, there was a hollow glass tube in the center, and he could not see what was at the bottom.
At the bottom of the lottery screen on the other side, there was a cabinet that seemed to stretch on for miles in this small place. This was the only thing that looked familiar to him in this whole space.
Bai Yu walked over and pulled the door open.
He originally thought that there was nothing inside, but to his surprise, there was a bottle of green liquid with an instruction manual attached to it.
[Potion: Madness Movement]
[Quality: Normal]
[Description: Only a crazy person can finish 30,000 mysticism questions and unlock the brainiac system. This is the reward for completing the novice mission perfectly.]
[Effect: After taking this, you will gain 10 minutes of being under a maddened state. Under this status, your IQ will drop by 10 points every minute, increasing your spiritual resistance to all extraordinary things! After the maddened state is dispelled, everything will return back to normal.]
[Note: Because you’ll be going crazy, it won’t happen again. This effect will make you stronger.]
This was the first time Bai Yu had seen a potion with such an appealing effect.
The potion formulas taught in school were all very basic healing potions and spiritual recovery potions.
“My IQ is a hundred and thirty two. If I drink the Madness Movement, my logical thought process will become sluggish after four minutes, and I’ll become an imbecile after five minutes.
“So I only have five minutes to solve the mission!
“The idea of drinking the potion to carry out the nightmare mission doesn’t seem like a good choice though, There is a high possibility that I will really become an id*ot, so I can only carry out the elite mission.”
Bai Yu quickly reached this conclusion.

He had to be in a safe position after the potion lasted for five minutes, which was when he would turn into an imbecile.
This mutated body with the pseudo-world was obviously not an ordinary thing to solve easily.
The reason why it was so strong was probably largely because of the item that caused it to transform. If he could find the source, there might be a chance of survival!
“The rescue team hasn’t arrived yet. It’s very likely that I’ll have to deal with it head on and sacrifice a group of people to limit the supernatural incident to a small area… I can bear the cause of more deaths because of this. Rather than waiting for death, it’s better to strike first!”
Bai Yu’s thoughts shifted to the poor female streamer..
