Join the ServerWatching Shen Hua being dragged away with a face of utter despair, Ji Wenyan felt an immense sense of relief. Finally, some peace and quiet.
He had successfully passed the math test and secured a spot in the national mathematics competition.
Now, he just had to wait less than a month before heading to the competition venue with the school team.
But Ji Wenyan couldn’t afford to relax during this time.
He had more important things to do… like improving Bai Mengze’s stats!
During class, Ji Wenyan opened the phone app and carefully examined Bai Mengze’s current attributes.
Name: Bai Mengze
Beauty: 126
Intelligence: 150
Physique: 65
Talent: 40
Aesthetic: 42
Apart from beauty, all other stats had increased.
This puzzled Ji Wenyan. Since Bai Mengze’s attributes were growing so fast now, why hadn’t they increased before?
It was only after meeting him that her stats skyrocketed!
[System: Besides the host’s efforts, there are also systemic reasons. No need to dwell on it.]
[If I hadn’t chosen Bai Mengze as my trainee, would her attributes still have increased?]
The System answered immediately when Ji Wenyan had a question.
But it only made him more confused.
When he first met Bai Mengze, she already had 10% growth potential.
With such high growth, even if she relied solely on herself, it wouldn’t be too difficult.
[System: They would increase, but without the System’s binding, Bai Mengze’s attributes would improve very slowly… For example, reaching the current data would take about twenty years.]
[You’re not kidding me! I raised Bai Mengze’s attributes effortlessly; I didn’t feel it was hard at all…]
[System: That’s because of the System’s help. Without various skills or background resources, it would be very difficult for the host to improve a trainee’s attributes so quickly… Of course, Bai Mengze’s extremely high growth potential also plays a role in the rate of increase.]
The System explained everything clearly.
Hearing this, Ji Wenyan couldn’t help but touch his chin, thinking that his judgment was really good.
He had an eye for talent!
Delighting in these thoughts, Ji Wenyan stopped looking at his phone. After putting it back in his pocket, he touched a small notebook.
Then he remembered the plan he wrote yesterday!
Tomorrow was the weekend. During the break, he would take Bai Mengze for a walk in the streets to see if they could improve her aesthetic attribute.
It seemed tomorrow would be another busy day.
“Bai Mengze, do you have time tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow… is my mother’s birthday. I’m going to send flowers to my parents.”
“In that case, I’ll go with you!”
But plans changed quickly.
When he heard that Bai Mengze was going to bring flowers to her parents’ grave, Ji Wenyan was stunned for a moment. After recovering, he immediately changed his words and said he would go together.
Even if tomorrow wasn’t available, there was still the day after!
With a two-day weekend, there was no rush to improve her aesthetic attribute.
Instead, accompanying Bai Mengze to her parents’ grave to prevent her from having any bad thoughts was the most important thing.
“Mm, okay.”
Unlike before, when she detested Ji Wenyan’s rich-kid identity, Bai Mengze now considered him her best companion after truly getting to know him.
He would never leave her side, and together they would face the future.
So even for paying respects to her parents, she wouldn’t refuse Ji Wenyan’s company.
Then she could even let her parents see Ji Wenyan…
When Bai Mengze nodded in agreement, Ji Wenyan secretly took out his small notebook and added a line to the schedule: ‘Saturday: accompany Bai Mengze to pay respects to her parents.’
There were too many things to remember; he had to write down the plan carefully. It would be bad if he forgot later.
Besides that, he also needed to contact the butler to buy textbooks from the second year of middle school up to the third year of high school… Ji Wenyan hadn’t forgotten what the System said last time.
Although he was very skeptical about his own learning situation, he thought it was better to prepare early for studying at home.
Even if he had to start from middle school textbooks, with the god-level skills, he believed he would catch up quickly.
By then, even if he wanted to enter the same university as Bai Mengze, it would be no problem.
For a moment, Ji Wenyan was full of motivation.
He could only wait to go home and work hard, improving his studies all at once.
As for school… looking at the textbook in front of him, Ji Wenyan tried using the god-level skill ‘Concentration’. As a result, he stared at the textbook for the entire class, not even responding when Shen Hua came back and provoked him.
He seemed possessed, his eyes fixed on the book.
This state lasted for two whole classes.
When Ji Wenyan finally snapped out of it, he immediately turned off the passive mode of the god-level skill and returned to a controllable mode.
Damn, after staring for so long, he was not only dizzy and seeing stars but also felt like vomiting.
And he hadn’t learned anything.
Because he couldn’t understand this foreign language book…
However, despite this bad experience, Ji Wenyan learned something very important.
The monthly 1,000 Star Source Points were totally worth it!!!
If every time he studied something he had to obsess over it without any results, only getting a splitting headache… Ji Wenyan thought it would be better to just kill him!
Too painful.
“Ji Wenyan, time to go.”
“So soon!”
“Not really. What was wrong with you earlier? You were reading so intently, even Shen Hua beside you couldn’t distract you. You were completely focused!”
“…”
Just as Ji Wenyan was lying on the desk recovering, Bai Mengze’s voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing her words, Ji Wenyan glanced around in surprise and found that the desks around them were already empty.
This god-level skill of his really sapped his vitality!
“I just suddenly felt like reading. Why is it so empty? Usually, aren’t there students studying in the classroom at noon?”
“The school let out half a day early. Some officials are coming to inspect whether the facilities meet the standards.”
“I see. Then let’s go back!”
After a short rest, Ji Wenyan felt much better. Learning that school had given them an extra half-day off, his headache and backache vanished. He could even climb five floors in one breath!
Afterwards, because they left late, there were few people left in the school.
Even the reporters gave up waiting and went to lunch, planning to come back on Monday to stake out the place.
But just in case, the two still disguised themselves as usual, trying not to be recognized.
“It’s them! Dressed like thieves. Get ready—someone wants an arm from each of them!”
Just as Ji Wenyan and Bai Mengze were about to leave the school, they heard voices as they stepped out the gate.
A metal rod swung rapidly, aiming straight for them.
