Study Monster Cultivation System

The aunt who had been watching for a long time finally couldn't help but speak up: "Student, the second floor is empty and quieter right now." "Then... fine, let's go to the second floor." Zhang Xiaoke swallowed her saliva, glanced at the drinks menu with her face covered, "Latte, durian cake." Then she handed the drinks menu to Li Zheng. Li Zheng frowned. These two items cost 130 yuan. Damn, you're really not polite. He had wanted to try the coffee, but forget it. "Farmer's Spring Water." Li Zheng closed the drinks menu and handed it back to the aunt, fearing she might be unwilling, he added, "Two bottles." "..." The aunt took the bank card, quite flustered, "Our cheesecake is very good too, would you like to try it?" "Still not reaching the minimum spending?" Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh, petting cats really was a noble pastime. The aunt, even more flustered after hearing this, answered, "There's no minimum spending... just a recommendation." "Then no need, Farmer's Spring Water is sweet enough." The aunt sighed, choosing to give up on this man. Next came swiping the card and signing. Li Zheng was especially careful confirming the decimal point position, afraid he might mistakenly swipe 13,000 yuan. Afterward, the two of them went up to the second floor. It was indeed much more spacious than the ground floor. Bright sunshine filled the place. Everywhere with sunlight was more or less occupied by some cats. Li Zheng swallowed nervously, chose a window seat, and carefully sat down. A beautiful short-haired cat lying on the table basking in the sun half-opened an eye to glance at Li Zheng, then turned over and continued sunbathing. For Li Zheng, being this close was a first. "This is it?" Zhang Xiaoke dropped her handbag, sat on the sofa opposite Li Zheng, and sneered, "I can't understand you cat lovers." "Let's... let's study first." Li Zheng restrained his desire to pet the cat, took out some materials from his hiking bag. Then took out more materials. And more materials. An endless supply of materials. As the stack of materials grew higher and higher. Zhang Xiaoke's body gradually collapsed. So... They were really going to study? "What subject are you most confident in?" Li Zheng asked while organizing the materials. "Physics..." "Good, let's start with a set of medium difficulty physics questions. If you can reach 90% of my score, you'll pass physics." Li Zheng asked, "Do you want to do first-year or the first month of second-year questions?" "First-year." Zhang Xiaoke had no other choice. Her previous school covered all three years of material in the first year. Because the entire school was filled with top geniuses, the pace of lessons was like the "Flight of the Bumblebee." She barely grasped the first-year material and couldn't keep up after that. Before long, Li Zheng pulled out two identical mock test papers and handed one to Zhang Xiaoke, "All newly bought this morning. I haven't even glanced at them yet. After we finish, we'll grade each other's papers. Regardless of the outcome, we'll take a 20-minute break to pet the cats." "I'm not going to pet those things." Zhang Xiaoke pulled over the paper with a snort. She glanced at the questions. They were manageable, not too difficult, but not too basic either. She then pulled out her pencil case from her bag, ready for the challenge. "I want to propose an extra condition." She said while picking out a pen, "If I pass physics, we immediately go out, buy a set of clothes and shoes, and change into them." "Rejected." "Li Zheng!" Zhang Xiaoke glared at Li Zheng for a long while but finally lowered her head, "Please... I feel uncomfortable being seen with you dressed like that." "Does it affect your study efficiency?" "Yes, very much." "Then… alright." Li Zheng nodded and then avoided Zhang Xiaoke's gaze, looking at a cat scampering by, "Besides, I need your guidance. I read online that many people find shopping to be a relaxing activity." "You want to go shopping?" Zhang Xiaoke's mouth opened wide in surprise. "Yes." Li Zheng said hesitantly, "Shopping means going to the mall and buying things, right?" "Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Xiaoke nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, "You've found the right person. Not just in our school, but in the entire Lake Ying area, no one knows shopping better than I do." "That's good, I feel lost shopping alone." "Oh, come on, let's go right now!" Zhang Xiaoke stuck out her tongue and gave a mischievous smile. "Only if you pass this test." Li Zheng picked up his pen, "Time limit: 60 minutes. Start." He said nothing else and started working. This was Li Zheng. Any scene, any process, any dialogue. He could transition seamlessly into problem-solving. "So annoying..." Zhang Xiaoke rubbed her head. Physics was her second-strongest subject. She had to, had to beat Li Zheng now. Zhang Xiaoke stopped overthinking and picked up her pen to get started. If she won, she'd shop till she dropped. If she lost, she'd drown in a sea of problems. ... Time ticked by. Zhang Xiaoke found it amazing. Doing problems with Li Zheng, she found it easy to get immersed. Without distractions, she could even ignore the annoying cats nearby. Li Zheng, this weird guy, seemed to naturally create a learning aura, making anyone with him settle down to study. As long as she didn't look at his stiff collar and emblem. On the other hand, Li Zheng did his work casually, at a regular pace, not bullying anyone. "Beep beep beep, beep beep beep..." The alarm clock went off, and they both stopped writing. Only then did they notice, the cake and coffee had long been placed on the table. The coffee was fine; the cake, however, was being gnawed at by five or six cats. "Go away, go away!" Zhang Xiaoke waved her hand, but it had no deterrent effect. Li Zheng was also at a loss, not knowing what to handle first. In the end, he had to press the call button to ask the aunt to handle it. The aunt rushed upstairs and hurried over. "Oh no, cats aren't supposed to eat these. They already have colds..." Zhang Xiaoke apologized awkwardly, "Sorry, we were too focused on the problems just now." The aunt stared at her, stunned. Someone dressed like this actually came to study? Zhang Xiaoke was also stunned. Wasn't this kind of line supposed to be Li Zheng's specialty? How did she naturally say it now? She looked at Li Zheng in surprise. Li Zheng smiled and said, "You have potential, I like you." Who needs your kind of liking! The aunt quickly took the cake away, reluctantly promising to replace it. The two began grading each other's papers. The physics test was straightforward, just following the steps to grade, nothing too difficult. Li Zheng finished grading first and nodded in surprise, "83 points, not bad." "Uh." Zhang Xiaoke's expression wasn't as good. She graded slowly not for other reasons, but because she spent all her time looking for mistakes. Between every word, every gap, every step, she tried to find something wrong. But unfortunately, Li Zheng's answers were frighteningly precise. Not only were there no errors, but there were inexplicably many additional steps. He even wrote out the equations. In the end, she reluctantly wrote a high score of 94.
