Chapter 71: Attribute improvement!

Class 1-A.

Xia Muqihui returned here before the end of the lunch break.

However, as soon as he returned.

The noisy class instantly quieted down.

Who knows how many people's gazes were focused on him.

Xia Muqihui didn't care and sat straight in his seat.

As soon as he sat down, students immediately surrounded him, asking this and that.

"Xia Mu-kun, did you really reject Senior Yue Dao?"

"That's truly amazing; that's Senior Yue Dao, you know."

"Why did you reject her?"

"I heard Senior Yue Dao cried very sadly at the time; what exactly did you say?"

Regarding these, Xia Muqihui explained nothing, just flicked his hand to dismiss them.

Ding-a-ling—

The class bell rang crisply, breaking the classroom's clamor.

The onlookers, seeing Xia Muqihui had no intention of revealing more, had no choice but to return to their seats with unsatisfied curiosity.

A flash of disappointment crossed Xiyuanji Qilai's lively eyes; she had been looking forward to hearing the reason for the rejection from Xia Muqihui.

Xuecun Lingyin still lowered her eyes, looking at the literary novel in her hand, but the time spent on this page seemed exceptionally long; not until this moment was the page turned gently.

Before the subject teacher arrived, the atmosphere in the classroom was loose, and students were still whispering and chatting.

Soon, the bald math teacher walked in with his lesson plans.

The class instantly became quiet.

The student on duty immediately stood up and shouted in a loud voice:

"Stand up!"

"Salute!"

"Sit down!"

The whole class completed the process in unison following the commands.

The math teacher nodded slightly and began today's lesson.

For the subject of math, Xia Muqihui, who had returned to the first-year classroom, appeared to have more than enough ability, because math was a subject he was good at before.

However, he was also reviewing the old to learn the new, having already reviewed content quite far ahead.

Plus, having finally obtained the long-awaited attribute point today, his mind was no longer on the class.

He closed his eyes slightly, sinking his consciousness into the panel in his mind.

【Character: Qianjing】

【Age: 16】

【Strength: 4】 (Average attribute for a normal adult is 5)

【Agility: 4】

【Spirit: 5】

【Physique: 5】

【Charm: 9】

【Equipment: 'Boy's Sorrowful Diary', 'Chess Score Sealed for Years', 'Favorite Button'】

【Available Attribute Points: 1】

【Distance to next attribute point reward: 3 more pieces of equipment needed!】

An uncontrollable excitement surged in his heart.

He had waited too long for this attribute point.

However, how to allocate this precious point became a problem that needed weighing.

For Xia Muqihui, he didn't intend to rely on his face to eat, and having too high a charm value didn't have much meaning, so he wasn't prepared to spend the attribute point on it.

In this way, only the four items of strength, agility, spirit, and physique remained for selection.

He pondered slightly and thought that strength and agility could also be shelved for the time being.

In a modern civilized society, unless in specific fields, extraordinary strength and speed have limited meaning.

His ambition didn't lie there, so naturally, there was no need to prioritize them.

Then, the final choice fell between spirit and physique.

Would improving spirit bring a leap in thinking ability?

And would enhancing physique likely mean better health and endurance?

Or would the improvement of these two attributes bring some unexpected hidden effects?

Xia Muqihui couldn't be sure and could only know the situation after trying to add the point.

But between the two, the spirit attribute was undoubtedly the more attractive choice at present.

Strength, agility, and even physique could be improved through hard training later.

Only the "spirit" attribute could not be improved through training.

And the higher the "spirit" attribute, the more it would surely have a great effect on studying and playing shogi.

You have to know he was participating in a competition tomorrow; even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit, so he should make himself stronger bit by bit!

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.

His intent moved slightly, and that precious attribute point was added to spirit.

【Available Attribute Points: 1 → 0】

【Spirit: 5 → 6】

The moment the attribute point was added—

"Hum!"

An indescribable sharp pain exploded deep in his mind!

As if countless red-hot steel needles were crazily stirring and piercing his brain, carrying out some kind of reshaping and transformation that transcended common sense.

In a state of extreme pain, one cannot make a sound.

This pain, far exceeding the physiological limit, instantly deprived Xia Muqihui of the right to make a sound.

Xia Muqihui couldn't hold on for even a second; his vision suddenly went black, and he completely lost consciousness, collapsing heavily onto the desk.

Cold sweat the size of beans began to seep uncontrollably from every pore of his body, quickly soaking his hair and thin school uniform.

Clearly, while unconscious, he was still undergoing indescribable spiritual reshaping.

Xiyuanji Qilai, who was nearby, heard the dull thud and turned her head in confusion, discovering that Xia Muqihui had actually collapsed and "fallen asleep."

"Was he too tired this noon..."

Xiyuanji Qilai felt that sleeping in class was actually not very good, but hindered by Xia Muqihui's previous situation, she really couldn't say anything.

Because Xia Muqihui had often slept in class since junior high school.

He wouldn't change even if the teacher scolded him.

Later, the teachers just turned a blind eye and left him alone.

Thinking of this, she felt it was better not to be a busybody.

But when she recalled Xia Muqihui's previous statement about his "dream of getting into Todai," she couldn't help but feel regret in her heart...

The math teacher on the podium naturally noticed this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Although he was not the homeroom teacher, he had heard of this student who had triggered discussions in the teacher circle because of his looks and today's confession event.

As long as it didn't affect the class, he naturally turned a blind eye to the problem of such students sleeping in class.

And it was rumored that Xia Muqihui didn't like to study or attend class at school before, often sleeping in class.

Now that he collapsed on the second day of school, it was already giving him face.

'Forget it, forget it...'
