“I don’t want to go to work tomorrow…
“I wish this weekend could at least be three weeks longer”
It was seven in the morning.
It was the first day he didn’t have to go to work, but Lin Shu still woke up at 7 am. His longtime biological clock had made him used towaking up at this time.
Lin Shu listened to the music playing on the phone as he lay on the bed leisurely. His soul did not have the urge to get out of bed.
After all, he didn’t have to get up early to clock in and rush to work.
Lin Shu looked at the experience bar on his virtual panel, 73,520/12,0000. He was 50,000 Exp. Points away from leveling up again.
With that kind of anticipation, Lin Shu didn’t know if it was the effect of the 4 attribute points of Spirit or his desire to level up, but he still said a few good words to his soul and urged it to get out of bed.
Lin Shu was prepared to go out for breakfast and start farming Exp. Points.
Even if he wasn’t going to work, he could still gain Exp. Points by studying.
Since Lin Shu was on leave and had to come back to the company to apply for his proof of resignation, he wasn’t in a hurry to move. There were still more than ten days left anyway, so it was naturally very easy. He didn’t have many things to pack, so there was no rush.
After finishing his breakfast, Lin Shu sat at his desk and started learning.
That was really hard to imagine in the past. In the past, when Lin Shu didn’t work, he would mostly lie down and rest. After all, he had worked six days a week and often worked overtime at night. He really didn’t have a big impulse to go out and had fun. He just felt that he had worked hard for the past week and wanted to rest in the dormitory.
Then, a week passed just like that, and soon, a new week of work began the constant repetition.
Time passed quickly when he was studying seriously. After finishing a set of Advanced Mathematics questions and analyzing his mistakes, Lin Shu decided to take a break.
Beep!
Congratulations! You have studied Advanced Mathematics for 2 hours. You gained 1,789 Exp. Points and 166 Gold Coins.
Beep!
Congratulations! You have been studying hard for more than two hours a day for nine days. You gained 4,802 Exp. Points and 405 Gold Coins.
Hearing that tune, Lin Shu felt really happy and worth it. Those were the Exp. Points he had gained from his perseverance in studying every day.
The hardest thing to do was to clock in continuously. If there was a day when he did not study for two hours, he would have to recalculate the number of hours he had missed. As such, perseverance was the most important thing.
After resting for a while, Lin Shu picked up his phone and saw that there were many unread messages and missed calls on WeChat. All of them were from his good friend, Yao Chen.
Yao Chen texted, [Why didn’t you answer my call?
[Didn’t you say that you’re on leave and don’t need to work?
[Let’s go out and have some fun!
[Why aren’t you replying! Did you lose contact?]
…
Seeing so many messages, Lin Shu directly called his good friend, Yao Chen, and asked, “What’s wrong? Why did you send me so many messages?”
“You still know how to call me, huh? I thought I lost contact with you!
“Didn’t you say that you’ve already started taking leave to rest? Let’s hang out together tonight,” said Yao Chen.
Danger!
Level 8 Tempter is throwing you flirtatious looks, hooking fingers, twisting its waist, undressing, casting great seduction technique at you!
Seeing that familiar monster, Lin Shu smiled and said, “No, I’m not going. I still have to study today.”
He ruthlessly slayed it, and it was rather straightforward!
Beep!
Congratulations! You have said “no” and your blade hit its target exquisitely and mercilessly. The Level 8 Tempter died with a scream. You gained 2,700 Exp. Points and 211 Gold Coins.
“Lin Shu, you’ve really gone too far recently. Even if you’re going to study for the postgraduate entrance examination, you should strike a balance between work and rest. Don’t keep reading and studying every day. You’re pushing yourself too hard. You need to relax. It’s not good to sit around all day.” said Yao Chen.
“I’m relaxed enough. You can call me next time!” said Lin Shu.
Who knows, maybe the next monster will come and Lin Shu would have to slay it!
“You’ve already resigned. Even if you’re going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you should take a good rest. Why don’t you go out and play? If I were you, I would definitely go out and play for a while before coming back to study hard.” said Yao Chen.
“Forget it. It’s not too late to play after I get into postgraduate studies,” said Lin Shu.
Lin Shu didn’t plan on going out for the time being. After all, he still had to prepare for his postgraduate entrance examination. After chatting with Yao Chen for a while, Lin Shu told Yao Chen that he would invite Yao Chen to his place to have fun after he moved.
However, Lin Shu felt that Yao Chen’s words made sense. He couldn’t just sit around all day. In the past, he had been working in front of the computer, and now, he was sitting and studying. He still needed to exercise.
Lin Shu felt that apart from studying, he should also take some time out to exercise. Even if he didn’t go to the gym, he should go out for a run.
With that in mind, Lin Shu decided to go for a run tonight.
..
Beep!
Congratulations! You exercised and jogged for 3 kilometers. You gained 989 Exp. Points and 86 Gold Coins.
That night, after Lin Shu finished his book, he decided to go for a jog. However, he was surprised to hear the system’s notification of Exp. Points appear after running for three kilometers. He didn’t expect that he would gain Exp. Points after running for three kilometers and it seemed like he could gain Exp. Points by exercising.
Lin Shu was very excited. That was something that he had never known about before.
As expected, he still needed to explore this game by himself.
If running was possible, then doing push-ups and sit-ups should be possible as well.
Lin Shu immediately did 8 push-ups on the ground.
Beep!
Congratulations! You have trained your body with four push-ups. You gained 102 Exp. Points and 11 Gold Coins.
Lin Shu was very excited. He was starting to feel that he knew too little about the system.
‘But why four? I thought I did eight?’ Lin Shu pondered.
Lin Shu was confused, but at the same time, he was happy. He wondered what other special aspects of the system had yet to be discovered.
Lin Shu already knew that in addition to learning, he could also exercise to gain Exp. Points. He would do push-ups from time to time, which could both train his body and gain Exp. Points. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Shu was very happy.
As the Exp. Points kept increasing, and Lin Shu began to study and solve the questions every day and the day after. After that, he would rest and occasionally slay some of his monster friends, the Tempters.
Lin Shu’s Exp. Points continued to rise.
The day before he moved, Lin Shu’s experience bar reached 120,012/120,000, and he could level up now.
Lin Shu was already looking forward to leveling up. Every time he leveled up, he would get some amazing items. He was looking forward to what kind of item he would get this time.
The first thing Lin Shu did was to click level up after the experience bar.
Beep!
Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up to Level 22.
Beep!
You have successfully leveled up. You gained 2,990 Exp. Points, 216 Gold Coins, and a mystery gift.
Beep!
Congratulations! You have unlocked the Item Mall. You gained 18,888 Exp. Points, 1,680 Gold Coins, and a mystery gift.
‘Oh my God! I actually unlocked the Item Mall at Level 22? If I had known earlier, I would have worked even harder and unlocked it earlier!’ Lin Shu thought.
Lin Shu was so excited that he didn’t pay attention to the reward after leveling up. He had been looking forward to the Item Mall for a long time, and he didn’t expect to unlock it so unexpectedly.
It was really surprising and shocking! It was overly unexpected!
‘So, what exactly was in the Item Mall?’ Lin Shu wondered.
