Chapter 54: What? I can only sleep for four hours a day!

【Warning, the 【Sleep】 Schedule time has been reached...】

Lu Mingfei came back to his senses amidst the warning sound and scanned his Proficiency panel.

Chinese LV0—Proficiency 84/100

Mathematics LV1—Proficiency 40/200 【Super Speed Calculation】

English LV1—Proficiency 06/200 【Language Sense Mastery】

Physics LV1—Proficiency 00/200 【Force Analysis】

Chemistry LV0—Proficiency 76/100

Biology LV0—Proficiency 96/100

"Biology first, then Chinese, and finally Chemistry!"

Lu Mingfei felt the excitement of playing a game where he could finally level up all his skills at once and attempt to leave the novice village.

"I wonder what my test scores will be once all subjects reach level one?"

Whenever the senior year review stage arrived, the school's printing paper and ink seemed as if they were free or even subsidized; massive stacks of test papers were handed out, and no matter how fast one wrote, one could never finish them.

In this situation, the teachers were too lazy to collect and grade them; they usually turned on a high-speed document camera to project the test paper with the correct answers onto a screen, then explained it question by question... so-called review was just consolidating knowledge points through doing problems.

Lu Mingfei hadn't written any test papers at all these past few days; he was very clear that his own situation had nothing to do with review—how could it be called review if he hadn't learned it in the first place? It would be more accurate to say he was a college student pulling an all-nighter to cram before a final exam!

Therefore, he was learning entirely through "Five Three," pushing through knowledge point by knowledge point; it wouldn't be wrong to call it complete self-study. But because of this, he really had no concept of how much his overall grades had improved.

"Forget it, I'll nibble away step by step and advance steadily; even if it's not enough now, there will surely come a day in the near future when I surpass Zhao Menghua!"

In the past, the idea of unhorsing the grade-topper Zhao Menghua was something Lu Mingfei would at most think about in his dreams, but now he was already looking at it as a predetermined future fact.

The biggest difference between self-confidence and arrogance is that self-confidence is a solid skyscraper built up by little successes, sufficient to face the baptism of wind and rain. While arrogance is a castle in the air, collapsing at a single blow.

The source of Lu Mingfei's self-confidence was very simple—just look at those rows of Proficiencies and entries!

"Schedule, oh Schedule, you still have some redeeming qualities. It would just be great if you could relax a little bit more, just a little bit, okay? The Schedule Plan can be carried out gradually!"

Under the influence of his emotions, Lu Mingfei prepared to negotiate with the Schedule by speaking nicely.

【Warning, Electric Shock countdown...】

"I was wrong, I was wrong! Can I go to the bathroom before sleeping?"

【Warning, the 【Go to bathroom before sleep】 temporary Schedule time has been reached...】

Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh; his attempt to change the plan was crushed once again by the threat of electric shock!

After he returned from the bathroom and was just about to turn off the lights to sleep, his gaze swept past the window, and he froze.

Liu Miaomiao, who lived across the way, hadn't slept yet either; she was sitting by the window hugging a pillow, staring blankly outside, not knowing what she was looking at.

Lu Mingfei tried waving his hand.

【Warning, Electric Shock countdown...】

The warning sound arrived right on cue, but Lu Mingfei was completely unpanicked; wasn't there still three seconds left?

Probing the edge of danger is the most thrilling!

The "dazed" Liu Miaomiao actually noticed Lu Mingfei's wave immediately; she turned her head to look, suddenly beamed a smile, put her hands together beside her cheek, and made a sleeping gesture, meaning "Are you going to sleep?"

【Three...】

Lu Mingfei nodded, pointed at Liu Miaomiao, and then drew circles around his eyes with his hands, meaning "You're not sleeping yet? Watch out for dark circles!"

Liu Miaomiao rolled her eyes in a pretty way.

【Two...】

Logically, this interaction should have ended here; with one second of limit time remaining, Lu Mingfei should have gone to bed, and that was exactly what he was prepared to do—he was already preparing to retreat toward the bed.

But Liu Miaomiao didn't let it go at that; she stretched out her slender, long hands, placed them against the glass, and tapped lightly.

The night sky was cloudless and the starlight twinkled, with only silent musical notes flowing from the girl's fingertips.

Lu Mingfei was stunned; he remembered in the past, when he was bored and asked Liu Miaomiao how to practice the Piano, Liu Miaomiao had demonstrated it to him just like this.

Back then, he was still just a transparent loser in the class, but the little Piano beauty had performed a few bars specifically for him because of his unintentional inquiry.

And now, Lu Mingfei could be considered to have learned a bit of Piano; his eyesight was very good, he could see the landing points of Liu Miaomiao's ten fingers, and he could match those sounds based solely on memory.

Therefore, the silent notes flowed into his heart.

It was a piece of piano music. The ice and snow were melting, spring was arriving, flowers were blooming gently, and warmth was accompanying—

【One, Electric Shock Release!】

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!"

Lu Mingfei fell straight to the floor "as if electrocuted," his whole body trembling.

Liu Miaomiao paused her "performance" in some astonishment; what was this situation? She had anticipated all of Lu Mingfei's reactions, but she hadn't expected this one!

It looked like he had been electrocuted, but the huge floor-to-ceiling window revealed everything clearly; where would electricity come from?

Just as Liu Miaomiao was about to mistakenly think it was some kind of "sudden seizure" and prepare to call 120, Lu Mingfei's trembling slowly stopped.

He remained lying on the floor, but his right index and middle fingers exerted force, standing up like two feet, dragging the whole hand forward alternately, and soon climbed up along the floor-to-ceiling window until it reached a height where it couldn't go any higher and he was sure Liu Miaomiao could see it.

The palm flipped over, using the back of the hand to rub against and hold onto the floor-to-ceiling window so it wouldn't slide down, four fingers curled into a fist, and the thumb stood upright.

Liu Miaomiao froze for a moment, then she laughed.

This guy... he acted so realistically! How could it be so exaggerated, like he was really electrocuted, he even scared himself... did he understand?

There was no time to wait for further response from Lu Mingfei; the girl who had thought of this method and implemented it now felt her shame level explode.

She shyly pulled the curtains, turned off the lights, hid in bed, and smothered herself in the quilt.

After everything quieted down, her "heart pounding like a deer" finally had a more appropriate and obvious reaction.

After a while, Liu Miaomiao, unable to hold it in, quietly poked her head out.

She let out a long sigh and fanned her burning cheeks; the girl's romantic thoughts were soft as silk.

"This... shouldn't count as having a guilty conscience, right? Right, it shouldn't count, it's still innocent!"

After finally being able to move barely, a Lu Mingfei who wanted to cry but had no tears quietly raised his head to observe, and upon discovering that Liu Miaomiao had turned off the lights on her side, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I should have gotten away with it, right?"

He muttered.

I cannot suffer social death, absolutely not!

For this reason, he could only have a flash of inspiration and improvise.

The effect should be pretty good, right? At most, his performance was a bit exaggerated... Liu Miaomiao wouldn't think he was mocking her, would she?

Should he test the waters tomorrow and sound her out?

【Warning, please immediately execute the 【Sleep】 plan...】

"Fine, fine, fine, sleeping it is..."

Lu Mingfei climbed up listlessly; his whole body's muscles were still twitching unnaturally, and the pain had not yet dissipated... but he had already been shocked, and since he had accidentally messed up, what other choice did he have?

I'll dare to do it again next time! A mere Schedule, don't even think about cutting off my desire to slack off; I, Lu Mingfei, will never surrender!

Lu Mingfei barely crawled onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell peacefully asleep.

【Physical Recovery】 mainly restores physical strength and can only alleviate the fatigue fed back by the body, while mental exhaustion will still accumulate over time.

As soon as he touched the soft pillow, Lu Mingfei fell into a deep sleep, entering a deep slumber almost instantly.

These past few days, his sleep quality had been consistently high, and he would wake up feeling refreshed and not sleepy at all.

But this time was different.

【Warning, it is now time for the 【Get Up】 plan...】

Lu Mingfei was startled and jumped straight out from under the covers.

But the sudden wave of sleepiness left him quite confused, and subconsciously, he took out his phone and checked the time.

4:00.

Four o'clock in the morning!

"Did I have a nightmare?"

Lu Mingfei muttered while half-asleep and half-awake; he stuffed himself back into the warm quilt, preparing to fall asleep again.

【Warning, please immediately execute the Get Up plan...】

"Stop messing around..."

A groggy Lu Mingfei barely managed to pick up his phone and look at it again, confirming it was indeed exactly four o'clock in the morning, and yawned.

"Schedule, have you gone crazy? I clearly could have slept until six..."

His voice grew lower and lower as he was rapidly entering a sleep state.

【Electric shock countdown, three...】

【Two...】

【One, Electric Shock Release!】

"Ahhhhhhh!"
