lightly touched a button, and a hologram popped up in front of him, displaying:
Dongning City's Fifth High School, Class 1-3, Semester 38th Major Course Report Card, as follows—
Student Lin Xiao:
Individual Performance: 6.2 points.
Clan Performance: 4.4 points.

Grade Rank: 252.
Class Teacher's Comment: Individual combat performance is above average, Clan performance is failing.
base test was no different.
Of course, Lin Xiao had not received any teacher rewards in over thirty major courses since he started school. His best performance placed him nineteenth in the class, earning him a word of encouragement from the class teacher.
With some gravity, he closed the hologram. He wasn't worried about the base test, but rather the final exams that would take place in a month.

The Human Federation high school system employed a grading system. Freshman year was relatively normal, but once students moved on to sophomore year, the school would reassign classes based on the final exam results from freshman year. This resulted in the division into so-called regular, advanced, and key classes.
Without a doubt, classes like the advanced and key classes would definitely receive more resources and better educational faculty.
As for the regular class, they were more or less on their own, left to fend for themselves.
Even though Lin Xiao had the Golden Finger, he took this class division very seriously, as he certainly did not want to end up in the regular class. With the Golden Finger, it would still be tough to get by there.
It wasn't that the Golden Finger wasn't powerful, but… if one could be in the key class, why settle for the regular class?
This wasn't some fantasy novel where the protagonist starts off as garbage, gets mocked, then rises to power with the Golden Finger and furiously slaps faces, right?
He certainly didn't have time for that.
(Common): Limited to piercing weapons, rapidly lunges to attack the target, dealing double the weapon's damage and guaranteed to trigger a piercing effect.
Two-star skill card—Severe Pain (Common): Your attacks cause the target to suffer 15% extra damage, with a very small chance of triggering a bleeding effect.
The first of the three cards, a three-star resource card, was given to him by his grandfather when he first Opened the Divine Realm. Unfortunately, he had chosen a marine realm, and the Grey Mist Fish People were not proficient in cultivation, so this precious three-star resource card was of no use there.
The other two skill cards were gifts, one from his grandmother and the other from a cousin. However, he felt it was somewhat wasteful to use them on a weak race like the Fish People. Knowing early on the capabilities of his Golden Finger, he thought he'd save them until he could activate it and then break down those two cards to create a more powerful card.
So, they had been gathering dust in the safe until today, when they finally found their purpose.
Eager to begin, he took out the three cards and, thinking for a moment, he extracted a crystal armband from the drawer of his bedside table. He pressed on it with a finger, and a light screen popped up. After some contemplation, he tapped and drew on the light screen to edit a message:
"To my wise and valiant father and my gentle and lovely mother, your son has had a realization and doesn't want to try hard anymore. I hope my dear mother can transfer the New Year's money and red packets that you've been keeping for me all these years."
After reading the message, he revised it, changing "you" to the more respectful "you," signed his name with satisfaction, and sent it off.
Less than five minutes later, a reply arrived. He opened it to see a light projection emanating from the surface of the wristband, forming the figure of a woman dressed in a pale blue starlight gown.
The woman bore a striking resemblance to Lin Xiao, looking graceful and delicate, almost girlish, her face full of doting love as she gently said to Lin Xiao:
"Xiao'er, have you had a change of heart?"
"Yes, I've had a change of heart."
This was Lin Xiao's mother, Jin Yunzhu, a demi-goddess with authority over the rainy season and growth. This projection was a manifestation of her Divine Thought; her True Body was currently situated in one of the planes of the AX-14 Crystal Wall System, where their clan had a permanent residence.
Like all mothers in the world, Jin Yunzhu doted on Lin Xiao, her only son. Each year on his birthday, she would prepare a gift for him.
