RING Of Fate

At Room 302, Boys' Dorm, Shengye Middle School

Ling Yang perched himself on the side of his bed, his eyes widened. He stared blankly as there was a progress bar in front of him, which had been completely by 99 percent.

"Ding. The Galaxy Ring has been successfully activated. Access to system interface."

The progress bar disappeared, and a simple black and white interface appeared in front of Ling Yang.

Host: Ling Yang

Level: 1

Physical Capability: 130

Mental Capability: 60

Skills: Basic Stamina

Magical Power: None

Fame: 9

The property bars occupied a half of the interface, and there was a colorful prize wheel with a big letter "Prize" in the middle.

Suddenly, the interface disappeared and a cute white kitten jumped out, "Hello, Host, I'm Meow, the ring elf. I'm pleased to serve you."

Seeing the cute kitten, Ling Yang went blank for a moment before asked. "Meow, what's going on?"

"You are so lucky to become the host of the Galaxy Ring No. 1. The Galaxy Ring is a powerful supporting system."

Ling Yang's eyes brightened, "Can you help me become a straight A student?"

"Of course, I can!"

"Can you help me become the ric.h.e.s.t person in the world?"

"Of course, I can!"

"Can you help me win the heart of a pretty girl?"

"Of course, I can!"

"Great!" Hearing Meow's words, Ling Yang couldn't help dancing with excitement. He began to have visions of becoming a CEO, marrying a pretty lady and reaching the peak moment of his life.

"Host, you have a free prize draw. Would you do the drawing right now?" Meow's words sounded, dragging Ling Yang out from the fancy world.

"What's the prize draw?" Ling Yang asked.

Meow replied in a serious tone, "You can do the drawing as long as you have enough Fame. Currently, you can do another draw if your Fame reaches 20."

"What is Fame?" Ling Yang asked curiously.

"Fame is the number of people adoring you. For example, you are good at fighting. If a person approved you or adored you because of your fighting skills, your Fame would be 1."

"I get it." Ling Yang asked, "Meow, can I do the drawing now?"

"Of course, you can!" Meow disappeared and the interface returned to the simple black and white one.

"Host, click the "Prize" in the middle of the prize wheel and start the drawing." Meow reminded Ling Yang.

"I get it." Ling Yang clicked the "Prize". The letter disappeared and an indicator appeared. Meanwhile, seven boxes with different colors appeared around the indicator.

The indicator rotated quickly and finally stopped pointing to a red box. Ling Yang was surprised to see three glittering words on the red box, "Extraordinary Retentive Memory".

Suddenly, the three letters melted into a streak of golden light and flew to Ling Yang's eyebrows. But Ling Yang didn't feel any change.

Ling Yang found there was something different in the Magical Power bar.

Magical Power: Extraordinary Retentive Memory (primary)

"Meow, how should I use it?" Ling Yang asked.

"Host, just read Extraordinary Retentive Memory silently," Meow answered.

"Extraordinary Retentive Memory!" Ling Yang read it to himself. Then he grabbed an English book and began to read words.

After one minute, Ling Yang closed the book and began to recall the 100 words that he read just now. He was delighted to find that he remembered every word.

"Amazing!" Ling Yang couldn't help praising the power.

"Host, it's only a low-level magic power, and it's at the primary level. You can only use it two hours a day." Meow reminded Ling Yang.

"Two hours? What a pity!" Ling Yang was a little disappointed. He grabbed the English book to read words. Although he could only use the power two hours a day, he may enter a key university if he made full use of it. Thinking of this, he had a great longing for a bright future.

Two hours later, Ling Yang closed the book again. He had remembered all the knowledge in the book within two hours. He closed his eyes and recalled the knowledge in his mind. He was excited that he remembered every single word.

"Haha!" Ling Yang laughed out loud, "With this ring, my counterattack started from now on."

Ling Yang used the magic power twice on Saturday and Sunday, and grasped the knowledge in another two books.

On Monday

Ling Yang was used to get up at six. He went for a run before he had breakfast in the canteen.

While having breakfast, he couldn't bear pulling up the system interface. He looked at the numbers in the Physical Capability and Mental Capability and asked Meow in his mind, "Meow, what do these two numbers stand for?"

Meow's voice directly sounded in his mind. "The Physical Capability and Mental Capability of a healthy a.d.u.l.t are 100 respectively. Physical Capability stands for speed, power, endurance, jumping, etc., and Mental Capability stands for memory, comprehension, judgement, etc."

"Damn! My Mental Capability is only 60. That's why I'm an underachiever." Ling Yang was depressed. Suddenly, he had an idea and asked, "Meow, how should I enhance my Mental Capability?"

Meow answered, "There is a book in the system which can help you train your Mental Capability. You can get it by lucky draw."

Seeing the number "9" in the Fame bar, Ling Yang was upset. The system wanted him to be a high-profile person, which was the opposite with his aim of being low-profile.

"I'm good at nothing except for fighting. How can I be famous?" Ling Yang distressed himself about the matter.

After the breakfast, Ling Yang went back to the dorm and walked to the classroom. On the way, he was thinking about how to enhance the Fame.

It was the English class. The English teacher was Han Sha, a highly educated person that had studied abroad before. She was only 25 and looked pretty. She was very patient to every student, even underachievers like Ling Yang. As a result, Han Sha was very popular among students. Many boys even had a crush on her.

When Ling Yang sat down in his seat, his desk mate Li Lei got close to him and said in a low voice, "Ling Yang, the game Creation will be launched at 8 pm. What about playing the game together?"

The long-awaited game Creation was endorsed by Murong Xinyue, a popular star of the State of Yanhuang. Many young people were eager to play the game.

"Okay. Let's go to play the game after school." While answering, Ling Yang took out a book.

Li Lei was surprised to see Ling Yang studying hard as Ling Yang often took a nap at class.

"Ling Yang, are you sick?" Li Lei asked.

"No, I'm not. Rear your book!" Ling Yang cast Li Lei a stern glance before he returned to his book again.

"Damn it!" Li Lei scowled as he thought Ling Yang was pretending to be a good student. He thought to himself, 'You would fall asleep soon.'

To Li Lei's surprise, Ling Yang had been studying hard before the end of the class. Even after the class, Ling Yang didn't leave the classroom, but studied hard.

After Ling Yang knew he had insufficient Mental Capability, he decided to memorize all the knowledge in his books with the magic power, Extraordinary Retentive Memory. 

The power would be refreshed every early morning and last two hours after Ling Yang started it. It can't be paused, so Ling Yang didn't want to waste the power.

On the next class, Han Sha, the English teacher walked into the classroom with a stack of examine papers.

"Good morning, everyone. This examine paper was the last year's college entrance examination paper. I hope you would finish it seriously."

Students were used to tests, as there were many tests since they entered Senior Three. Therefore, they were not surprised at all.

Hearing the words, Ling Yang itched to have a go. He had memorized a lot of knowledge and he wanted to know whether he could have a better score.
