Chapter 377

Also, at the start of the month, I'd like to ask all the big shots for your monthly tickets~~

The next day, before six o'clock, Zhou Yi got up early.

First, he ran twenty kilometers on the Magic Capital University track, then returned to the villa's fourth floor, entered the training room, and began his daily task training.

In less than half an hour, all the daily task training requirements were completed, and the system notification chime sounded:

【Long-Distance Run (20KM/20KM)】

【Power Leap (200/200)】

【Push-Ups (200/200)】

【Daily task completion detected. You may obtain a reward from the following options.】

【Reward 1: Gain 10 free attribute points.】

【Reward 2: Gain 10 skill points.】

【Reward 3: Random skill book.】

【Reward 4: Random treasure chest.】

"I'll choose Reward 1, 10 free attribute points."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yi chose Reward 1 directly.

Then he evenly distributed the 10 free attribute points gained across each of the four-dimensional attributes.

Once the free attribute points were allocated, he felt himself become slightly stronger again.

"Every day I can get 10 free attribute points. If I were to assign all 10 free attribute points to the same attribute, I'm afraid that one attribute value of mine would have long since broken a thousand."

Before this, Zhou Yi had also considered, like an ordinary professional, assigning all his attribute points to just two of the four-dimensional attributes.

28　But in the end, he still chose to give up.

On the one hand, only adding points to two attributes—for example, only adding points to Strength and Intelligence—would indeed boost his output capability quite a bit.

But correspondingly, his stamina endurance and running speed would both fall quite a bit short compared to his current even allocation.

On the other hand, only adding points to two attributes would also make his attribute values far too exaggerated.

Right now, every one of his four-dimensional attributes is above 350 points. If he only leaned toward two of them to add points,

then those two attributes would be at least above 500 points......

At level 22, two attribute values above 500 points—this can no longer be described as a monstrous genius.

It would be easy to suspect something fishy was going on, and he could be taken away by some special institution for research.

Therefore, based on these two reasons, Zhou Yi ultimately chose to evenly distribute points across all four-dimensional attributes.

Of course, the Strength and Intelligence attributes, which are more important for a Holy Knight, would still be a bit higher than the other two—Constitution and Agility.

"Phew, training done. I'll go take a shower first."

Letting out a long breath, Zhou Yi walked out of the training room, grabbed a change of clothes, and headed into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later.

After washing the sweat off his body and changing into his school uniform, a refreshed Zhou Yi finally walked out of the bathroom.

He hadn't expected that just as he stepped out of the bathroom, he'd find Jiang Churan only just coming out of her room at this time.

"Brother Zhou Yi!"

Seeing Zhou Yi, Jiang Churan's eyes lit up.

Immediately taking long strides, she covered the distance in three quick steps to Zhou Yi's side, a sweet smile on her face.

"Why are you waking up so late today?"

Zhou Yi ruffled Jiang Churan's little head.

Generally speaking, Jiang Churan's wake-up time was around six-thirty.

But now, it was already eight in the morning—a full hour and a half later than usual......

"N-nothing... it's nothing, I just had a bit of insomnia last night."

Jiang Churan's little face turned red, her voice as faint as a mosquito.

Naturally, she wouldn't say that last night, after she and her best friend Xia Lan finished sharing everything that had happened the previous night, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until three or four in the morning......

"Insomnia? Then before you go to sleep tonight, I'll cast a Slow Heal on you first."

Slow Heal was the class-change skill Zhou Yi had obtained at his first Holy Knight advancement.

According to the skill description, it could heal physical injuries.

But in later practice, Zhou Yi discovered that beyond healing injuries, Slow Heal could also relax the mind and achieve the effect of relieving mental fatigue.

One could say it was extremely useful.

"Mm!"

Jiang Churan heavily nodded, a sweet smile on her face. "Then I'll go shower first. We'll head down together in a bit."

"Sure."

Another twenty minutes passed.

It wasn't until eight-thirty, after Jiang Churan showered and changed into the black short-skirt school uniform of Suhang University, that the two headed downstairs.

"Today's team match opponent is Magic Capital University. Beat them, and we'll be first place in the team competition!"

"Yeah, if we get first place in the team competition, each of us gets 3,000 credits!"

"And that's just the school's reward. The Xia Yan Yezhelian Alliance will give rewards too!"

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it."

"......"

In the villa's first-floor living room, the rest of the Suhang University contestants, including Liu Yang, had already gathered here.

At this moment, Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan walked out from the stairway.

However, unlike before, Jiang Churan was affectionately clinging to Zhou Yi's left forearm, her pretty face brimming with happiness she could hardly contain.

Such a scene naturally caused everyone in the living room to pause briefly.

Then they immediately reacted, laughing as they said:

"Brother Yi, Sister Ran, looks like you two are officially together now."

"Haha, recently Brother Yi's reputation has been growing bigger and bigger, and quite a few girls have been coming through me to ask for Brother Yi's contact info.

I was even worrying on Sister Ran's behalf, but now I don't have to worry anymore."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"......"

After several months of being together, the squad members had already grown very familiar with one another.

That Jiang Churan had feelings for Zhou Yi was something almost everyone in the squad knew.

So seeing the two of them together now, they weren't too surprised and offered their congratulations one after another.

Liu Yang even let out a strange cry: "Brother Yi, Sister Ran, may the two of you have a child soon!"

Such words naturally made Jiang Churan, as a girl, blush with shyness.

But Zhou Yi merely raised his sword-like brows, looked at Liu Yang, and without saying a single word, caused Liu Yang to immediately apologize:

"Ahem, Brother Yi, I was wrong!"

"You, my lord, are so magnanimous, please forgive me. How about I show you a spell I've newly mastered to make up for it?"

As he spoke, Liu Yang actually took out his staff.

"Cut it out!"

Zhou Yi glared. Only after seeing Liu Yang sheepishly put the staff away did he turn to Song Xialan and the others and continue:

"Last night Xiaolan and I found a nice restaurant near the Food Paradise in the East District. Tonight at six, I'm treating everyone — let's all go together for a meal."

"Oh, Brother Yi is so generous!"

"Just right — we beat Modu University today, so this counts as a celebration banquet!"

"Haha, well said!"

"......"

The whole group burst into laughter.

Talking and laughing as they went, they walked out of the villa.

The National University Freshman Exchange Tournament officially begins every day at nine in the morning.
