Chapter 171: Chapter 147: Dual Intelligence
"Yes."
Xiang Beifei turned his head to look at Meng Yuekai.
[Host: Meng Yuekai]
[SR-level, Emotion Collection System]
[Realm: Mid-stage Qi-Controlling]
[Emotion Collection System Introduction: You can collect emotion values generated by anyone around you because of you. These emotions include: sadness, grief, happiness, disgust, nausea, anger, gratitude, depression...]
[Anger Value: 22068]
[Shame Value: 15698]
[Excitement Value: 45896]
[Envy Value: 95886]
...
Meng Yuekai\'s Emotion Collection System could collect emotion values generated by anyone because of him and integrate them into a series of system values.
There are countless types of human emotions, and Meng Yuekai\'s system is capable of collecting up to 129 different emotions.
[Your words have caused Long Guocheng to feel anger, Anger Value +23]
[Your words have made Long Guocheng feel shame, Shame Value +15]
[Your words have elicited disdain from Long Guocheng, Disdain Value +14]
[Your words have provoked Long Guocheng to feel anger, Anger Value +20]
[You greeted Xiang Beifei, and he was quite calm, Calm Value +19]
...
All sorts of emotions, even if they weren\'t provoked by Meng Yuekai, could still be collected by him, but the increase would be just 1 point. However, if they were provoked by him, the amount increased would vary depending on the situation and be significantly larger.
His ability was also closely linked to these emotions; he could even collect the emotions of desolate beasts and use them to influence the beasts, calming a raging horde of them.
Of course, aside from desolate beasts, this could work on any person, allowing him to control others\' emotions at will.
He could cause two close friends to argue over a trivial matter or lead two enemies to drop their grudges. He could make an honest person suddenly snap and go mad or calm down someone who was in a frenzy.
He could even stir up the emotions of a crowd, turning someone into an object of universal scorn!

"This ability is really powerful."
After carefully understanding the Emotion Collection System, Xiang Beifei realized that Meng Yuekai was not a simple person.
For Meng Yuekai, even a minor incident could be amplified with system values, leading to a surge of group anger. The prerequisite, of course, was that Meng Yuekai\'s cultivation level had to be higher than his target\'s, but with his SR-level potential, doing so wouldn\'t be difficult.
Xiang Beifei looked at some of Meng Yuekai\'s system values:
[Emotional Intelligence: 201/100]
[Intelligence Quotient: 198/100]
"It\'s wise to improve your double intelligence," Beifei commented.
Each system assessed intelligence differently, and according to Meng Yuekai\'s system, the average person\'s double intelligence score was around 100, while his were about 200.
Clearly, after awakening his system, Meng Yuekai focused on enhancing his EQ and IQ first, given that his system needed to collect the emotions of those around him. Since it aimed to collect various emotions, it was essential for him to learn how to interact with others.
EQ and IQ were crucial for this system.
Improving double intelligence was challenging and thankless, and most people, after awakening their systems, would usually use their systems to increase their own cultivation level instead of spending system values on double intelligence, especially EQ.
But Meng Yuekai was different; he had initially used almost all his system values to elevate his EQ and IQ. Of course, his SR-level system played a role, as higher-level systems make it easier to enhance any aspect, while lower-level systems offer fewer choices.

Meng Yuekai sized up Xiang Beifei and after a moment of contemplation, cracked a slight smile, extended his hand, and said, "I\'ve heard a lot about you. From now on, we\'ll be roommates, so please take good care of me."
Xiang Beifei also reached out and shook his hand.
"I really admire people with firm determination like you," Meng Yuekai said as he sat down on his chair, smiling at Xiang Beifei, "I hope we can be friends in the future and make progress together."
Li Zimu, who was sitting nearby, was somewhat surprised and put down his book, turning his head to look at Meng Yuekai.
He clearly remembered that Meng Yuekai\'s attitude wasn\'t like this when Xiang Beifei was not in the dormitory that morning.
At that time, the first person to look down upon an N-level freshman like Xiang Beifei was Long Guocheng, a prideful person who wore his emotions on his face. Upon hearing that he would share a dormitory with an N-level freshman, he felt disgraced and was ready to approach a teacher with his complaints.
Then, Meng Yuekai echoed Long Guocheng\'s sentiments, also showing disdain for Xiang Beifei and preparing to join Long Guocheng in driving Beifei away. At that time, he had specifically asked Li Zimu for his opinion, but Li Zimu didn\'t mind sharing a dorm with anyone, so Meng Yuekai left with Long Guocheng.
But now that he had returned, Meng Yuekai had seemingly changed his attitude. He seemed to have recognized Xiang Beifei?
This was indeed strange.
However, Li Zimu seemed to think of something and slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
This dormitory didn\'t just have Meng Yuekai with high EQ and IQ.
As a scholar with the help of an SR-level system, Li Zimu was very intelligent, and his EQ and IQ were not lower than Meng Yuekai\'s.
Li Zimu was good at reading people and had a vague understanding of why Meng Yuekai was behaving this way.
——
Xiang Beifei frowned slightly.
This guy doesn\'t seem to be planning to trouble me as Li Zimu said, does he?
Is it because of Long Guocheng?
Xiang Beifei noticed Meng Yuekai\'s current system log, and from the emotions he had just collected, it seemed that Meng Yuekai must have spoken with Long Guocheng outside the dormitory. Guocheng showed emotions such as anger, shame, and disdain.
