Chapter 56: Biology, LV1!

Lu Mingfei curled up on the bed, his body trembling slightly by instinct.

The electric current finally dissipated; the previous heavy drowsiness was now replaced by a pain that pierced his heart.

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

Lu Mingfei scrambled up in one motion; his face should have shown anger and confusion, but in reality, he was just on the verge of tears.

"The past me really deserved to die!"

As the sleepiness receded, his brain became clear, and memories surfaced—

Things from four days ago, not too long ago, so Lu Mingfei naturally remembered them.

It was just that too many things had happened in the past few days, and that memory was so unbearable that it filled him with extreme regret, leading him to subconsciously choose to forget it...

But it was useless for Lu Mingfei to choose to forget; the Schedule he had written with his own hands would help him remember.

Getting up at 4:00 AM—this was one of the items Lu Mingfei had added to the Schedule he'd been writing for days after he completely let himself go!

The reason was absurd—"Sleep for a day, study two hours more!"

At the time, Lu Mingfei had no intention of completing the Schedule he had written; after letting himself go, he wrote them one more outrageous than the last, but who could have guessed he would actually have to complete them now?

"Sigh, can we reconcile?"

Lu Mingfei asked in his heart, filled with hope and absolute sincerity.

"Schedule, you also know this plan isn't realistic, right? Four hours of sleep is definitely not enough; I'll be sleepy, and if I'm sleepy, my Learning efficiency won't be high."

【Warning, it is time for the 【Wash and Gargle】 plan...】

Hilarious, there was simply no room for negotiation!

Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh, feeling as if the light had left his eyes... but he dared not delay even a bit, and could only start jogging while his muscles still held a trace of numbness.

After a sloppy and hurried wash, he picked up the schoolbag he had gotten into the habit of packing before bed and ran out of the house.

The fifth day, it has begun!

At the gate of Shilan Middle School, in the security booth.

The night shift security guard, Lao Zhang, let out a yawn, his eyes looking listlessly at the horror movie playing on the Nokia N96 in front of him.

This was a typical low-budget trash film, roughly describing a story about a ghost pretending to be an acquaintance to trick people into opening the door, then carrying out a cruel murder; the scenes were bloody but obviously fake, with zero atmosphere or immersion.

It's already 2009! How is it that people are still making horror movies based on "Little Red Riding Hood"? The victim knows something is wrong yet still acts like a moron, and this ghost is also truly ridiculous—it can kill people, yet it still needs someone to open the door?

No wonder it ended up as a low-quality pirated resource on his phone... Lao Zhang complained without any emotional fluctuation. He didn't watch horror movies out of love, but simply to stay awake.

Most security guards who can work long-term night shifts are thick-skinned materialists, meaning they are somewhat fearless.

If they were easily suspicious because of a little noise, they would have had a nervous breakdown after only a few days on the job.

It was just that kid from the day before yesterday who gave him a fright. After all, it was his first time seeing a student come to school at 6:00 AM...

Come to think of it, in two hours, he'll be able to see that kid again, right?

Lao Zhang glanced at the wall clock; the time was almost 4:20 AM.

Seeing Lu Mingfei now was a happy thing for him, because it meant he was about to get off work, and he only needed to take a few photos to receive a reward far exceeding his salary!

"Knock, knock, knock!" ×2

The knocking sound in the phone and the crisp sound of glass being tapped in reality rang out almost simultaneously.

Lao Zhang was startled; he stood up.

The scene outside the security booth came into view; it was the familiar boy panting heavily. Seeing Lao Zhang look up, he gave a strained smile, "Uncle, good morning, sorry to bother you, please open the gate!"

On the screen of the Nokia N96 on the desk, the ghost also happened to be disguised as a delicate boy the protagonist had met a few times, "Uncle, sorry to bother you, please open the door, I have something to ask you!"

The hair on Lao Zhang's body stood up inevitably; as a staunch materialist, for the first time, he began to wonder if he had seen a ghost.

"You... why did you come so early today?"

Lu Mingfei managed to catch his breath; seeing there was still some time, he wasn't in a hurry: "Security Uncle, have you ever seen Shilan Middle School at 4:00 AM?"

"... I have, isn't this it?"

Lao Zhang pointed to the Shilan Middle School gate outside the window, "I see it every day."

The scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

Lu Mingfei had originally wanted to borrow that famous line from Basketball superstar Kobe, "Have you ever seen Los Angeles at 4:00 AM?" to highlight his own hard work and struggle... but the security guard works the night shift!

Let alone 4:00 AM, he never missed a beat from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

"But others haven't seen it."

Lu Mingfei thought quickly, "I want to put immense pressure on them! Uncle, open the gate, let me in to do some Learning!"

Lao Zhang understood and silently opened the gate for Lu Mingfei... now he could be sure that Lu Mingfei was definitely not a ghost.

Because even a ghost wouldn't do something so wicked!

In the pitch-black teaching building, where only the 【Safety Exit】 sign emitted a faint green light, a classroom suddenly lit up.

Class 1, Grade 12.

"Haa..."

Lu Mingfei sat at his desk and let out a yawn.

If he had jogged to the classroom yesterday, the following routine would have been to eat breakfast while resting, waiting until 7:00 AM to start the official Morning Self-study.

But now it was different; he had no rest time, he had to do two hours of Self-study first before he could go eat breakfast, and then have Morning Self-study!

To make matters worse, hunger surged up along with the drowsiness.

"How can I study well in this state?"

Lu Mingfei was a bit worried, but even if he had to grit his teeth and swallow his pride, he had to complete the plan he wrote himself (for fear of being electrocuted)!

He opened "Five Three · Biology" and began Learning.

Unknowingly, sleepiness clung to him like threads of silk, gradually growing heavy. Lu Mingfei's eyelids began to droop, and he felt his vision blurring...

【Warning, electric shock countdown...】

The emotionless mechanical voice jolted Lu Mingfei awake; his state improved slightly, but it did not last long.

Learning is not playing a game; this thing really makes one easily drowsy!

【Warning, electric shock countdown...】

Lu Mingfei woke up with a start and studied again; he himself did not even know when he had become drowsy, and his mind was somewhat dazed.

【Warning...】

A somewhat muddled Lu Mingfei had already forgotten how many warnings this was; he had even forgotten about the maximum number of warnings, and so, in another moment of daze...

【Electric Shock Release!】

The ten warning counts were exhausted, and the electric shock descended directly without warning!

"Ahhhhh!"

Lu Mingfei pressed tightly against the desk; no matter how many times it happened, the pain from the electric shock was impossible to get used to, because that electric shock seemed to act directly upon his soul rather than his body!

The sleepiness was wiped out by the pain.

With no time to mourn for himself, after Lu Mingfei barely managed to recover his senses, he did not even have the slightest complaint or hesitation; he immediately grabbed his pen and threw himself into Learning with full concentration!

His thought was very simple—

Complaining about heaven and blaming others is useless; one cannot survive if one brings disaster upon oneself. Since he had already been shocked, he could not be shocked in vain; at the very least, he had to seize this period of wakefulness to gain more Proficiency!

Enduring the aftereffects of the electric shock, he actually entered a "Flow State"!

As time passed second by second, when the temporarily dispelled sleepiness clung to him again like "mosquitoes"...

【Through diligent Learning, your 【Biology】 level has increased, gaining 4 points of Proficiency】

【Congratulations! Through diligent Learning, your 【Biology】 level has increased to LV1】

【You have obtained the trait—【Body Sign Micro-manipulation】!】

【Trait: Body Sign Micro-manipulation

Effect: You can sense, and to a certain extent, perform micro-manipulation on your own body signs】

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

A thought subconsciously surfaced in his mind—

"It seems I can... stop myself from getting drowsy?"

It has been a month since signing, so I'm off the new book list!

Traffic has decreased, I hope everyone can continue to follow and read every day!

Asking for follow-up reads and monthly tickets~
