In recent operations, Zhou Bai noticed that his watch seemed to be less responsive and sometimes even lagged a few seconds.
For Zhou Bai, who had mastered time reversal, this definitely wasn’t good news.
A sturdy watch, especially one that could withstand the residual effects of battle, was very useful to him.
When Xia Li talked about her specialties, her whole demeanor grew more confident, "Sturdier? Any other requirements?"
Zhou Bai replied, "Just make it as sturdy as possible, ensuring that the watch keeps accurate time."
A wave of ideas immediately flooded Xia Li’s mind, and she confidently declared, "Give me three days, and I can create a triple-reinforced micro Array for you. If we could also change some materials of the watch..."
Zhou Bai smiled, "No problem. Just tell me what materials you need, and I’ll exchange them." Time was tied to his life, a single second’s error could be life-threatening, so Zhou Bai naturally wouldn’t skimp on a few points.
Xia Li nodded incessantly, firmly set on producing a quality watch to show Zhou Bai that though his skills had advanced rapidly, she hadn’t been wasting her time over the past six months, especially in the field of Arrays where she was confident.
Zhou Bai then turned to Jing Xiu and said, "Jing Xiu, I’ve troubled you with housework over the past six months."
Embarrassed, Jing Xiu replied, "Why are you bringing this up out of the blue, Zhou? They are simple chores anyone can do."
"No," Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "Jing Xiu, those chores are really important to me. They saved me a lot of time. Consider these two bowls of meat a small token of my appreciation."
Realizing Zhou Bai’s sincere gratitude, Jing Xiu nodded and said, "Alright, I understand."
After the meal, Zhou Bai packed up the food intending to exchange it when Qian Wangsun sneakily followed him.
Zhou Bai asked, "Why are you following me? Looking for a fight?"
Qian Wangsun chuckled and curiously asked, "Hey Zhou Bai, I heard you’ve been borrowing points from Zheng Wentian lately. Got any tricks?"
"Heh, tricks?" Zhou Bai, of course, wouldn’t disclose his strategy. Glancing at Qian Wangsun, he shook his head, "You can’t do it."
"Why not?" Qian Wangsun pressed, "What’s wrong with me? I can make changes."
"It’s not something you can change. It’s innate," Zhou Bai touched his face and said, "You’re not handsome enough."
"Ah?" Qian Wangsun argued, "If it’s about looks, I certainly won’t accept defeat."
"Heh, won’t accept defeat?" Zhou Bai turned his head, gestured to a passing female student, and said, "Excuse me, could I take a look at your student card?"
The girl looked at Zhou Bai oddly and said, "Sure."
Watching Zhou Bai easily borrow a student’s card before returning it, Qian Wangsun scorned, "I could do that when I was 12."
Zhou Bai grinned slyly and turned to another girl in the distance, "Excuse me, could I borrow your dorm bed to sleep on?"
Qian Wangsun watched in shock as the girl agreed, then watched Zhou Bai sheepishly apologize, claiming it was a joke, and asked the girl to leave.
Qian Wangsun was stunned, "What the hell was that move?"
Zhou Bai, seeing his flabbergasted face, said, "See? Born with it. If it wasn’t for my self-discipline each day, controlling this talent, I can’t imagine the disasters my handsomeness could cause."
"Hold on, let me get this straight," Qian Wangsun felt his worldview crumbling.
Suddenly he recalled and said, "Wait, Zheng Wentian is a man!"
Zhou Bai then addressed a passing burly man, "Bro, would you lend me your bed to sleep for a night?"
The burly man paused, then weirdly said, "Sure."
"Sorry, I was just joking with my friend. Thanks though."
After calming the burly man, Zhou Bai grinned at Qian Wangsun, "Heh, men."
"My charm works on both genders."
"I am..." Qian Wangsun felt his entire worldview overturned. To him, Zhou Bai gaining the top spot in the specialized class wasn’t as shocking as this moment.
He glared intensely at Zhou Bai’s face, unable to see what was so special. It definitely wasn’t better looking than his.
Zhou Bai patted Qian Wangsun’s shoulder, "Don’t overthink it, some things are natural. I’m actually quite troubled by it."
Curious yet envious, Qian Wangsun asked, "When did you find out you had this ability?"
"I don’t remember, it’s been like this since I can remember." Zhou Bai shook his head and sighed, "I’ve always tried to control myself from overusing my handsomeness."
"You’re controlling it right," Qian Wangsun hurriedly said. "This ability should not be overused, it’s best not to use it at all."
Watching Zhou Bai return to the dormitory building, Qian Wangsun thought, ’Is this for real, borrowing money with handsomeness? Could this guy be pulling my leg?’ But thinking back to Zhou Bai’s performance just now, Qian Wangsun couldn’t help but believe it.
Seeing a girl passing by, Qian Wangsun couldn’t resist imitating Zhou Bai’s tone, "Classmate, can I borrow your dorm bed to sleep in?"
Bang!
"Pervert!"
Qian Wangsun touched his face, puzzled, "Why? That makes no sense!"

In the following days, Christina practiced diligently during the day, Zhou Bai practiced slacking off, and at night, they practiced the Night Breathing Technique to enhance their Primordial Spirit.
Little by little, he exchanged over 2000 points for laziness, and also sheared nearly a thousand points from three fat sheep.
That night, he looked at his assist panel.
Dao Degree: 20.0%
Primordial Spirit Value: 1165
Divine Diagram: Celestial Nine Calamities
Laziness: 90130
"Ninety thousand laziness points, if I open the Ugly Study today, I should at least be able to light up a star point."
With worry and anticipation for the Ugly Study, Zhou Bai spent 50,000 laziness points to directly open the Ugly Study.

Zhou Bai’s mind went blank, and he stared blankly.
"Hey? My tool person is malfunctioning again."
Christina immediately jumped onto Zhou Bai. Her hind legs stood on his shoulders, then she wrapped her entire cat body around Zhou Bai’s face, her fluffy right paw tapping on the back of his head.
Moments later, Zhou Bai regained consciousness, and he saw the Taiyin Roulette in his mind slightly light up, a circle of new divine diagrams shining brightly.
Removing the cat that had smeared his face, and without cleaning the cat hair out of his mouth, Zhou Bai eagerly looked at the stars on the roulette.
"Still nine star points." Zhou Bai looked at the first star point.
Wenqu - Ugly Study: As long as you are ugly, you can use laziness points to learn skills. Note: The uglier you are, the more you need to study.
Cultivation method: (Zhou Bai skipped this part directly)
Laziness (0/30,000)
"What? A star point that really requires being ugly to use?" Zhou Bai sighed instantly, "What should I do now?" He felt like he had hit the biggest obstacle on his cultivation path.
But no matter what, Zhou Bai first added the laziness points, instantly lighting up the Wenqu - Ugly Study star point, spending another 50,000 + 30,000 laziness points, bringing his remaining laziness points down to just over 10,000.

Thinking hard but finding no reliable methods, Zhou Bai casually picked up a Daoist scripture to flip through, suddenly noticing a prompt popping up on the panel.
"Spend 2000 laziness points to learn the Night Breathing Technique."
"???"
"Why? That makes no sense!"
