Study Monster Cultivation System

"Who's Li Jiaqi?" Li Zheng asked. "A live-streamer who sells stuff. He won't let go until your wallet is empty. I just quit watching his streams," Zhang Xiaoke said, stomping her foot. "Anyway, I'm never going shopping with you again." "Didn't I pick out nice things for you?" "Actually, they're pretty good." Zhang Xiaoke softened instantly, lifting three large bags of clothes with an excited face. "Ah, perfect for tomorrow's class activity~" "How about this, after tomorrow's activity, we come back here to pick out some shoes?" "Shut up! If I go shopping with you again, I won't be surnamed Zhang." Zhang Xiaoke said, her stomach growling. "Hungry?" "Yeah..." Zhang Xiaoke scratched her head. "Recommend a place to eat, my treat," Li Zheng said with a generous smile. "We had a productive day, all thanks to you leading the way." "At least you have a conscience. I'm really out of money for food." Zhang Xiaoke took out her phone to search. "I can eat whatever I want?" "Yep." "Hehe, then hot pot it is." Zhang Xiaoke licked her lips. "Fine, sounds relaxing." Later, all the money Li Zheng earned. Was almost entirely eaten by Zhang Xiaoke. In the end, Li Zheng had no idea how Zhang Xiaoke managed to order four or five hundred bucks' worth of food and finish it all. The meat really went straight to her belly. No wonder she was so heavy. What he didn't know was. Zhang Xiaoke was actually preparing for winter. After all, before Spring Festival, she could only eat dirt. ... When Li Zheng rode his bike home after dropping off Zhang Xiaoke, his upgrade experience had already reached [Relaxation 68/70 hours]. Just two hours away from upgrading. Could he endure this? He simply turned into the nearby park's basketball court. Played a midnight streetball game with a group of middle-aged men for half an hour. Finally, he went home, showered, and read some comics. Eventually, he completed the upgrade before midnight. A new challenge arrived as promised. [Li Zheng] [Game Coin: 10] [Relaxation Level: Lv3↑] [To Upgrade: Relaxation 0/360 (hours)] [Please choose Lv3 reward——] [A] [Unparalleled Salesperson: Within one week, sell fashion goods worth 5 million.] [Reward: 20 Game Coins, gain the title of Crazy Salesperson, shopping relaxation rate +30%, cap +30%↑] [B] [Unparalleled: Upon accepting the task, all relaxation projects will have no vitality value cap for 15 minutes. Please restore 100 hours of vitality value within 15 minutes.] [Reward: 20 Game Coins, choose and receive one Unparalleled title.] [1: Human-shaped Dictionary, English vocabulary +40,000 (fully master the top 40,000 most frequently used words)] [2: Dragon of Dictionaries, master the contents of "Cihai" and "Xinhua Dictionary".] [3: Formula Feedbacker, master the top 3,000 frequently used math, physics, and chemistry formulas and equations.] [C] [Path of Corruption: Form a clique, become the de facto class manager, and make the class teacher cry twice.] [Reward: 50 Game Coins, Corruption Ⅱ DEBFF, permanent 50% reduction in study efficiency.] Li Zheng was stunned. What kind of absurd tasks were these? C was definitely to be deleted; this was beyond going to hell, it was becoming hell itself. Looking at A again, improving shopping relaxation efficiency was certainly good, but the reward seemed rather mediocre. Plus, it felt like it was pushing him towards a strange career path. As for B. Any of the three titles was extremely tempting. It's equivalent to saving hundreds or thousands of hours of the most tedious study time. And no need to review, no forgetting. But this task was also absurdly difficult, wasn't it? Restoring 100 hours of vitality within 15 minutes. This required a vitality recovery rate of 400, sustained for 15 minutes. If he remembered correctly, the peak recovery rate so far had been 10. That was playing basketball and blocking Lin Yujing. Was there anything more enjoyable than that in the world? Besides that, theoretically, shopping could reach 20, but after working at it all day, it was actually fluctuating within 10. Li Zheng thought back and forth and had no clue. Would he have to block Lin Yujing 40 times a second for 15 minutes straight? She probably couldn't handle that. It seemed he had no choice but to reluctantly pick A. After much thought, Li Zheng chose to sleep. He'd let it sit for now and see if any new relaxation projects came up later. If nothing worked out, he'd choose A and consult Uncle Fei next weekend for some quick selling methods. Li Zheng figured that the Li Jiaqi Zhang Xiaoke mentioned was probably doing similar things. ... On Sunday morning, Old Li left as usual before dawn. The visit to Teacher Hu was scheduled for 4 PM. Li Zheng naturally started his studies as usual. After breakfast, Li Zheng opened his bedroom curtains and closed his eyes to enjoy the morning light. Old Li and Ning'er were very considerate, knowing they couldn't be home during the day, so they gave the best south-facing window room to Li Zheng, making his room exceptionally bright, an ideal study sanctuary. After a brief adjustment, Li Zheng brewed a pot of light tea and sat at his desk before 9 AM. As usual, he took out his homework and exercises, organizing them neatly. Admiring the neatly arranged exercises of varying heights, Li Zheng picked up the teapot and contentedly poured himself a cup. The gentle steam in the morning light made Li Zheng feel serene and ethereal. Holding the glass cup, he let out a long breath. This study atmosphere. So comfortable. Too comfortable. After a sip of hot tea, Li Zheng eagerly took out his fountain pen and opened his homework book. To many students, homework was a burden, and just completing it was hard enough. But to Li Zheng. Homework. Was just a warm-up. These no-pressure questions were just a prelude to solidify knowledge a bit and get the brain into problem-solving mode. Once he started, twenty minutes flew by. Li Zheng finished. He closed the exercises and reached for his teacup. The tea was still warm. Just right. Li Zheng felt utterly at ease, filled with an artistic vibe. He then opened his Chinese weekly journal and began to write—— A ray of morning light, a pot of tea, Problems clear as waves, beauty reflected. I wish to ride the wind through the sea of learning, Dreaming of boundless clouds dispersed. Finished, the pen fell. Wonderful! He immediately added the title. "Cannot Be Without Title." Then he read it several more times, adding two small lines underneath—— 'The verses aren't original; I've memorized so many poems I can't recall which one this is from.' 'If Teacher Tang recognizes it, please annotate.' Only then did Li Zheng close the journal, his poetic sentiments expressed. Next, he checked his vitality value. [6.1/93 hours] About 90 hours left to study? So comfortable. This was all thanks to Zhang Xiaoke; yesterday's shopping restored nearly 60 hours in one go. Unfortunately, shopping was a monthly relaxation, the next time would be a month later. Li Zheng drank his green tea happily, admiring the fruits of his labor. [Chinese: 94] [Math: 110↑] [English: 92] [Physics: 103↑] [Chemistry: 104] (efficiency boost 100%↑) [Biology: 90↑] Not bad. Chinese had no homework; Li Zheng voluntarily wrote the weekly journal, so no improvement was normal. Math and Physics were his strong suits, always improving instinctively. As for English, it had the most weekend homework, and despite all the effort, no improvement—truly frustrating. Finally, Biology was barely noticeable, so let it be for now. Due to finishing his homework so quickly, Li Zheng found himself perplexed by the free study time ahead. What a happy dilemma. Though he said that, his hand instinctively reached for the Chemistry textbook. No choice, a 100% efficiency boost—who could resist? Moreover, there might be chances to get buffs in other subjects later; he could tackle those subjects then. For now, it was Chemistry, aiming high first. He brewed another pot of tea and began advanced study of Chemistry. After an hour, the tea had gone cold. Spending over an hour, Li Zheng finished the entire high school Chemistry curriculum. He also developed his own mind map for easy review later. After a ten-minute break, he brewed more tea. Seize the moment, set a small goal, and finish two sets of exercises!
