Jing Xiu and two others just stepped out of the academic building when Zuo Dao turned around and addressed Zhou Bai, "For the next two months you better practice hard, because in two months, I will definitely catch up to you!"
"Eh?" Zhou Bai responded, "Are you talking to me, the strongest in this session, with a Primordial Spirit value over 290? Sorry, your Primordial Spirit value is too low, I can’t hear what you’re saying."
Zuo Dao took a deep breath, turned around, and walked away, "Next time I will definitely beat you!"
Watching Zuo Dao leave after speaking, Zhou Bai said, "It was just a joke, are you leaving just like that?"
"Shall we have dinner together?"
’I’m so frustrated!!’ The fighting spirit in Zuo Dao’s eyes burned fiercely, he clenched his teeth, his mind filled with thoughts of Zhou Bai, "Win! Next time I must win! I absolutely cannot lose to Zhou Bai three times."
Watching Zuo Dao walking away, murmuring to himself while swinging his fists, Zhou Bai shook his head, "Sigh, I wanted to celebrate him getting second place and make him treat us to dinner."
Qian Wangsun: "..."
The next moment, Zhou Bai was preoccupied with the thought of the newly acquired 2,000 points, desperate for a satisfying meal.
At that moment, Qian Wangsun was also red-faced with excitement, about to experience the rebirth of severed limbs, he had won fifth place and was rewarded with 300 points, doubly jubilant, he was ecstatic.
Then, using the power of his Primordial Spirit, he gave Zhou Bai a nudge, "Come on! Let’s have a feast, I’m feeling happy today, you treat."
Zhou Bai: "Sorry, if you hadn’t mentioned treating, we could still be friends."
The two chatted and entered the cafeteria, and seeing all the delicacies they usually couldn’t afford, Zhou Bai felt his salivation intensifying.
Crystal Demon Seed: Enhances reaction speed, 20 points.
Red Fish Thick Soup: After multiple consumptions, enhances fire resistance ability, 100 points.
Basilisk Bone Soup: After consumption, enhances explosive strength and slightly increases stamina. 120 points.
Steamed Grand Chicken Meat: Slightly enhances body flexibility and explosive strength. 100 points.
Zhou Bai walked up to the cafeteria lady with a nouveau riche air and said, "This, this, and this, I’ll take one of each."
"Yo, young man, did you strike it rich?" the cafeteria lady asked with a chuckle as she dished out the food.
Zhou Bai casually replied, "Ah, it’s nothing, just secured first place this term and beat up the second place. The teacher awarded me 2,000 points."
"So you’re the top of the class."
"Such a genius."
"I wish my son were as brilliant as you."
Enjoying the cafeteria ladies’ praises, Zhou Bai smiled joyfully, splurging 340 points and even got three bowls of human grain.
Zhou Bai sat down with his dish, first sipped the Basilisk Bone Soup, and felt the rich meaty aroma bursting, leaving a lingering taste, a warm sensation spread from his mouth down to his stomach, before radiating to his limbs, slowly enhancing his explosive strength and stamina.
"Comforting!"
Zhou Bai joyfully smiled, and took another mouthful of Steamed Grand Chicken Meat.
Not knowing what kind of mythical beast this was made from, Zhou Bai bit into the chicken, feeling it bounce on the tip of his tongue, a deliciously unmatched juice squirted out from the meat, also carrying a faint fragrance that instantly filled Zhou Bai’s mouth.
"This is way too delicious!"
After eating almost two months of just rice, anyone would find meat dishes incredibly tasty, all the more so because Dao School’s cafeteria put so much effort into preparing these extraordinary dishes.
Moreover, while eating, one could feel their body subtly getting stronger, a sensation truly intoxicating.
Just this meal alone made Zhou Bai feel like his physical strength had increased by a tenth.
"If only I could eat like this every day, wouldn’t that be great?"
"Unfortunately, resources are limited. If you want to eat more, you need to earn more points," Zhou Bai muttered to himself, "I wonder if I can increase my monthly bonus points by ranking higher in this special class? I need to find a way to earn more."
Across from Zhou Bai, who was feasting heartily, Qian Wangsun had ordered a 20-point Crystal Demon Seed, which was also quite delicious.
But seeing Zhou Bai devour his food, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and felt that his Crystal Demon Seed was tasteless in comparison.
However, remembering the lean times of the past two months, Qian Wangsun was still reluctant to spend too many points.
After a satisfying meal and bidding farewell to Qian Wangsun, Zhou Bai packed up the remaining python bone soup and a bowl of rice and headed towards the dormitory. He remembered that Elsa had been longing for this python bone soup for almost two months.
When he got back to the dormitory, Elsa, smelling the soup, eagerly pounced and kept circling Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai looked at Elsa in front of him, patted her head, and placed the bone soup in front of her.
Seeing her joy, Zhou Bai talked to himself, "Elsa seems to have grown stronger recently, almost catching up to me in strength. It’s a pity we can’t let dogs bite people in school, but maybe she could be used in combat outdoors?"
Although still in school, the Heavenly Demon incident had made Zhou Bai even more cautious about this world’s dangers.
Moreover, once he graduated from Dao School in five years, he would have to go to the frontline to confront the Heavenly Demons.
"Maybe I should take Elsa to the training gym sometime to see how she does in a real fight."
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai also remembered Dr. Zhuang’s coordinates, "I still don’t know exactly where that is. When I’m stronger, I definitely need to check it out."
Zhou Bai then sat down at his desk and started self-studying again. Though he had scored the highest overall this time, he had been badly defeated in the written exams, realizing he indeed needed to catch up.
Especially now as he was entering the special class, which gathered the elite students of the entire East Hua Dao School, he had to strive even more, not falling too far behind in theory, as it would be detrimental to his future cultivation.
"I need to become stronger."
Thinking of the Heavenly Demon incident and the powerful Heavenly Demon that had overtaken the field, as well as Xing Jun, who had turned into one, Zhou Bai felt an urgent need to grow stronger.
And joining the special class, he would need formidable strength to hold his ground in this class and to get assigned more points each month.
While his cultivation was aided by the cultivation support system, it was still a meticulous process that couldn’t be rushed.
As Zhou Bai studied the textbooks, he couldn’t help but think of some ideas.
"Is there a way to increase my laziness value further? If I could earn more laziness value every day, my cultivation progress would naturally be faster."
Zhou Bai’s glance involuntarily swept over to a broom and a mop nearby.
Previously, having a cat clean for him did earn him daily laziness values, but now that he and Christina were both cultivating, the cat refused to clean.
"Could I find someone to clean for me every day to rack up laziness value?"
Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
Zhou Bai noted this idea and decided to find someone to help with the cleaning when he had the time.
Meanwhile, Christina emerged from the ocean of knowledge, flipping through a book beside her with her Primordial Spirit, seeking to refresh her theoretical knowledge. Ever since scoring 720 on the written exam, she had been shamed into valor, starting to learn the theoretical content of the textbooks and updating her previous cultivation knowledge.
Just then, a knocking sound arose, Zhou Bai curiously asked, "Who’s there?"
Jing Xiu’s voice responded, "Big Brother Zhou, it’s me."
Christina frowned, "In the dead of night, a man and a woman alone, this woman must be up to no good, Zhou Bai you better tell her to leave…"
