I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

She couldn't understand Chapter 5, but she was deeply moved.
"Are you an idiot?!"

The phone's speaker was so loud that Li Yan could clearly see a slight smile on the waitress's face.

Even without saying a word, just their expressions are enough to make an ordinary junior high school student feel overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Li Yan is not a typical junior high school student.

"Thank you, Miss."

"Young man, you are very polite. Actually, it's okay if you don't want this milk tea. I can sell it to the next person."

Li Yan shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Who says I can't coax Qingmei if she paid for the milk tea?

He felt the effect was quite good just now!
The glass door clattered as it was pushed open. Jiang Yingzhu, with her chin slightly raised, a taut face, one hand in her pocket, and her canvas shoes clapping, walked coolly into the milk tea shop.

"Sis, I'm here to pick someone up! How much is the milk tea?"

She walked confidently to the front desk to greet them.

"Four dollars."

"okay."

Jiang Yingzhu paid the money, picked up the milk tea, and glanced sideways at Li Yan.

"Keep up."

Li Yan smiled and followed. The two walked to the deserted first-floor corridor. The midday sun slanted in through the rusty fire escape windows, casting interlaced shadows of light and shadow on the empty corridor floor tiles.

Looking at the shadows separating and reuniting on the ground, he said:

"Uh, thank you, you're not angry anymore, are you?"

"You wish! I bought this milk tea myself, you owe me one!"

Jiang Yingzhu snorted, nudged him with her shoulder, and smiled amusedly.

If you don't pay it back...

As she spoke, she took out her phone and clicked play.

Li Yan's voice immediately came out, recounting the whole process of his foolish mistake.

"Uh, it's almost closed. What's our relationship? How could I forget?"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the phone.

It may seem like a small matter, but he knows very well how embarrassing it will be when it's brought up again.

Moreover, there's the possibility of showing it to others, which could lead to social tragedies.

"What are you doing!"

Jiang Yingzhu reacted quickly, putting away her phone and creating distance to emphasize.

"I don't know if you've forgotten or not, that someone is naive."

With her holding the key to his downfall, Li Yan could only endure the baseless slander.

"Okay, I owe you a milk tea."

"That's pretty much it."

······
Back in the classroom, Li Yan didn't actually rest; instead, he tested the system's functions.

In particular, it is important to clarify whether textbooks other than Chinese can be judged as cultivation techniques or other things.

[Ding! Skill "Introduction to the Fundamentals of Celestial Divination" detected.]

[Ding! Skill detected: "Creator Apprentice Basics, Volume Two"]

After putting aside junior high school math and chemistry, Li Yan picked up politics and history again.

One second, two seconds, one minute later.

The silence at that moment was deafening to Li Yan!
There's no other reason than that he was a liberal arts student in his previous life.

Good heavens, so this Tianxuan Continent is a scientific way of cultivating immortality, right?
Fortunately, junior high school politics and history are simple. As long as you remember the key points in the book, you can get high scores.

Because of opening the book.

Some questions are like multiple-choice questions, not so roundabout in asking you about the founding date of the Party or the social situation in our country.

Even without an open book, I doubt anyone would answer incorrectly.

Chinese is even simpler!
He did have a solid foundation. Since the system could solve difficult problems in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, he naturally had no worries.

Find your first and second year junior high school math textbooks and complete the "Introduction to the Heavenly Secrets Techniques".

Classes start at 2 PM, with a two-hour break at noon.

After confirming that physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics could be entrusted to him for cultivation, Li Yan immediately began to entrust mathematics to him.

Just to be on the safe side, he first left the child in the care facility for half an hour.

He wasn't lost in thought while in the managed state; instead, he focused on his status under the system's control.

He didn't spend much time on the tutoring program in the morning; he only had two tutoring sessions for physics, so naturally he couldn't finish a book in a short time.

However, Li Yan discovered that the system would automatically scroll down from where the last hosting session ended.

Therefore, Li Yan was very curious whether he would gain more if he could read through a book in one go!

Fifty minutes passed before the system finished reviewing the junior high school math problems.

At this rate, Li Yan estimated his hunger level and felt it might take half an afternoon to finish.

"Ok?"

Just when Li Yan thought the system was going to control him so he could continue studying junior high math.

But suddenly he found himself frozen, as if searching for something.

[Ding! Detected that "The Book of Heavenly Secrets: Basic Numerology, Part 3" requires supplementary auxiliary techniques. The system is currently detecting the host's techniques.]

Li Yan was stunned. What the hell?

[The system has detected that the host does not possess any secret techniques, and will provide them to you free of charge. Scanning for a suitable target.]

Upon hearing this hint, Li Yan had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

[Scan complete.]

The next moment, he felt himself suddenly stand up, step out of his seat, and come to Jiang Yingzhu's desk.

Meeting her raised face and questioning gaze, he reached out and plunged his hand directly into her chest.
He carefully took out the workbook with the new observations written on it from the drawer below and returned to his seat.

Jiang Yingzhu: ? ? ?

Li Yan: ? ? ? ?

"What are you doing?!"

Li Yan remained silent, simply flipping to the unwritten section and starting to work on the questions.

"That's my homework, why are you writing mine?"

Jiang Yingzhu stared wide-eyed as the daily exercises assigned by the math teacher that morning were slowly and deliberately erased by his pen.

She didn't understand it but was deeply moved, and couldn't bear to interrupt. "You, you, you can write whatever you want."

The little green plum sighed, then raised her chin and said haughtily:

"Don't think that this means we can let what happened this morning go. We agreed to go to the arcade together this morning."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan finally understood why she was unhappy.

He remembered that when he was in the third year of junior high school, a new arcade opened near the school.

Jiang Yingzhu and he went there together once, but they never went again.

Because of false advertising; it was nominally an arcade, but actually a slot machine arcade.

The place is a complete mess!
I didn't expect it to be at this time.

Wait, a slot machine?
A sudden inspiration struck Li Yan, and he thought of a way to make money in the short term.

It's not about gambling or anything like that, it's about reporting someone!

I remember that after I graduated from junior high school, that arcade that was all show and no substance was reported.
It's said that their homeroom teacher, Wang Fugui, lost several thousand yuan there and, in a fit of anger, reported it directly!
It seems they also received a considerable amount of bonus.

If Wang Gou can do it, why can't he?
Li Yan noted down the idea and glanced at the exercise books that were gradually filling up his desk.

Speechless. Is this some kind of secret technique?
Recalling the system's earlier notification, it seems that the 'free gift' is a targeted zero-yuan purchase.

But he didn't have this thing in his desk?
However, to be fair, during the problem-solving process, his understanding of the junior high school math knowledge he had just absorbed was significantly enhanced.

But there are also some inexplicable aspects.

For example, when it comes to knowledge points from the first and second years of junior high school, although the system can solve the problem smoothly, his mind feels as if it is fogged up, and he has no sense of reality.

Clearly, he lacks the relevant knowledge.

Having grasped the system's working mechanism, Li Yan then spent the rest of his time completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge!

Until class.

During the first English period in the afternoon, Jiang Yingzhu returned her meal card after the teacher came in.

Li Yan continued to manage the mathematics program.

The English teacher saw it but didn't say anything.

Garlic bird.

To prevent any further incidents!

So Li Yan spent both afternoon English classes followed by math classes.

As the school bell rang, the after-school care program ended, and he had just finished reviewing his first-year math textbook.

[Ding! Hosting complete. Congratulations, host, you have gained initial insight into the basics of "Introduction to Celestial Techniques and Divination"]

Upon hearing the notification, Li Yan opened the system panel to check.

Sure enough, after "The Art of Heavenly Secrets," there was an extra parenthesis that read "A Beginner's Guide."

When your mind focuses on it, a line of explanation immediately appears.

Skill level classification: Beginner, Some progress, Advanced, Masterful, Return to simplicity
What level of understanding is considered "just beginning"?

Li Yan couldn't help but ask, but the system didn't provide an answer.

Just then, Jiang Yingzhu's voice suddenly came.

"What do you mean by 'just getting started'? Why are you acting so strangely? The math teacher is going to give a test next class. Aren't you nervous?"
"Since you did my math homework for a week, I can send you the answers, okay?"

She blinked, her cool little face revealing a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"you?"

Li Yan subconsciously questioned this, because the two were equally bad at math.

Who gets the highest score depends entirely on luck.

"I can't, but Tian Tian can!" Jiang Yingzhu patted her deskmate Gan Tian Tian with pride.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan recalled that this petite girl seemed to be a top student.

"No, I used to just play around with you. Today I'll show you my skills."

"Tch, your strength? I've seen everything you've done, I don't know anything about you."

Jiang Yingzhu pursed her lips, not noticing that Gan Tiantian, standing beside her, gave her a strange look upon hearing this.

His eyes were full of curiosity.

"How about we make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"I'm betting on you"

Li Yan paused, then caught a glimpse of Gan Tiantian's eyes, which suddenly lit up behind her glasses, brimming with gossip.

Unexpectedly, some people who appear to be academic geniuses are actually fortune tellers in secret.

"I bet you that recording on your phone."

"You wish! I'm not betting with you."

Jiang Yingzhu crossed her arms and snorted coldly. Did he really think she hadn't seen it? This guy ignored her all afternoon and was studying math.

Even if you cram at the last minute, you should still score higher than her.

Moreover, she secretly checked Li Yan's homework and found that it was almost all correct!

This guy must have remembered that the math teacher said there would be a test in the afternoon.

Then he secretly prepared to trick her!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yingzhu was clever, quick-witted, and meticulous, and saw through his scheme at a glance.

Turning around, I saw Tang Pingping, the math class representative, coming over with a math workbook.

"Zhuzhu, I've finished correcting the rest of your math homework by tomorrow, and you got a lot of it right."

"Thanks, let's head to the bubble tea shop tonight!"

Jiang Yingzhu glanced quickly at Li Yan, and seeing that he wasn't paying attention to them and didn't know how she had uncovered their conspiracy, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the math teacher followed the example of the homeroom teacher and corrected the students' homework; otherwise, she wouldn't have discovered this when she passed by.

Li Yan indeed paid no attention to Jiang Yingzhu's movements and studied for nearly four hours.

He felt mentally exhausted and extremely hungry, as if he had stayed up all night.

Li Yan felt that, in a state of high energy and full stomach, the system could only be hosted for a maximum of four hours.

The bell rang, and the math teacher came in with a stack of test papers.

The quiz begins.

Li Yan twirled his pen and found that he could answer the questions on the test paper smoothly, even though it wasn't hosted by the system.

At least there are no situations where you can't take action!
Moreover, after practicing it himself, he gained an even more thorough understanding of the knowledge he had just learned.

"Alright, time's up. First row, collect your papers. We'll go over them during evening self-study."
