Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

The next day.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Xu Zhiyi woke up on time.

He put on a pair of black sweatpants, then walked shirtless to the open-air balcony outside, put on his headphones, and followed the host on his phone screen to do a few stretching exercises. After that, he began his workout to the rhythm of music.

The morning light was faint, and a thin mist hung in the air.

As time went by, the bright red sun peeked out, and Xu Zhiyi felt a little tired. Beads of sweat appeared on his body and slid down his smooth and powerful muscle lines.

He practiced for almost half an hour straight.

Just as he got up to go back inside, he found Tang Qingxi standing on the balcony next door, her hands gripping the stainless steel railing, her chin resting on the back of her hands, smiling at him.

"Good morning, Little Xu." Her voice carried the languidness of someone just woken up, yet also a lively and clever quality. "With such a great physique, are you planning to become a male model?"

Xu Zhiyi took off her headphones, pretending not to hear her teasing.

"Good morning, Sister Tang."

He looked at Tang Qingxi, greeted her first, and then said earnestly, "Thank you so much for yesterday."

"Didn't I thank you yesterday?" Tang Qingxi raised an eyebrow, her smile widening. "Words don't count now; you have to show some action. You have to treat me to a meal... How about National Day? You guys should have a holiday, right?"

Xu Zhiyi hesitated slightly.

Although it's a holiday for National Day, he still has to go to work.

However, Tang Qingxi has helped him so much this time, he really has to thank her properly, so he'll ask for half a day off.

Thinking this, he nodded. "Okay, you decide the location, just let me know the time in advance."

"That's straightforward! A real man should be decisive and not hesitate!"

Tang Qingxi seemed satisfied with his answer, then as if she remembered something, she lowered her voice and asked, "By the way, your 'Midnight Butcher' account, I saw last night that it had over 400,000 followers!"

What are your plans for the next step? Will you take on advertising or live-streaming sales?

"There's no rush yet."

Xu Zhiyi shook her head. "Most of these fans are just here for the fun of it. They have very little loyalty. If they're in such a hurry to monetize now, it's like destroying their own foundation."

"wise!"

Tang Qingxi gave a thumbs up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "I didn't expect you to think of this yourself, which saves me the trouble of reminding you. In short, your traffic is booming right now, but your foundation is not yet solid. Taking on advertisements and live-streaming sales rashly will damage your reputation."

The key is to proceed steadily and do a good job of creating high-quality content.

By the way, school doesn't start until after the National Day holiday. If you need my help with anything, just let me know. I have some experience managing accounts, so please don't hesitate to ask!

"it is good."

The two chatted briefly for a few more minutes before returning to their respective rooms.

Xu Zhiyi took a shower, changed into her newly bought sportswear, and bought a large meat bun, three vegetable buns, and a bag of Weiwei soy milk from Qinglu Mantou at the entrance of the community. She ate them while riding her bike to school.

Although it's Sunday, senior high school students are still attending classes as usual.

As usual, morning self-study involves memorizing the knowledge points circled by the teachers of each subject.

Xu Zhiyi opened her vocabulary book and silently memorized the words and phrases.

English has always been his weak point, mainly because it's not used much in daily life. He has to practice it every day, repeatedly, listen more, and communicate more to familiarize his brain with the language.

In the past, he really didn't have this much energy to put in. When he was memorizing these words and phrases, his mind was like it was covered by a layer of fog and he didn't feel very sharp. It took him a lot of effort to remember them.

But now he is full of energy every day, and his memory has also improved significantly.

After reading those words and phrases only once or twice, they seemed to be engraved directly into his mind, crystal clear. No matter how complex the grammatical structure, he could quickly understand the logical relationships within it.

This feeling is wonderful.

It was as if he had suddenly had a breakthrough.

A sudden enlightenment.

[Spiritual Intelligence] not only affects cultivation techniques and skills, but also makes his mind sharper, his memory stronger, and his learning ability greatly improved.

This cultivation game is really something else!

Every bit of attribute improvement is not as simple as just adding 1 to a number; it brings real changes that make him feel like he is getting stronger little by little!

Both my body and mind are constantly improving!

After morning self-study ended, the classroom became a little more lively.

Wang Kai, who was sitting behind Xu Zhiyi, threw his textbook on the table, leaned over, and sighed, "Old Xu, I regret it! Why did I ask you for help last time?"

"Huh?" Xu Zhiyi didn't understand.

"I did well on the last exam, and my parents were overjoyed. They thought I was still salvageable, so they immediately enrolled me in a tutoring class... From now on, I'll only have half a day off on weekends!" Wang Kai wailed in anguish.

Seeing his utterly dejected expression, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but add insult to injury, "This is probably what they call reaping what you sow, right? Who told you to resort to such underhanded tactics for a little pocket money?"

"Sigh, I don't know what my parents are thinking!" Wang Kai was even more upset. "That lousy tutoring center is ridiculously expensive, and all they do is practice problems and explain them, just like we do at school. Isn't that money a waste?"

Xu Zhiyi, who was always frugal, nodded subconsciously upon hearing this. "When it comes to studying, it mainly depends on yourself. If you don't want to study, even the best teacher won't help."

"That's exactly right!" Wang Kai said, as if he had found a kindred spirit, and poured out his dissatisfaction: "Last semester, in order to get into the honors class, I forced myself to study hard, and my grades improved by leaps and bounds!"

Even if you hire top professors from Tsinghua or Peking University to teach me, I still won't listen if I don't want to learn!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure suddenly approached, leaned against the table next to him, and looked down at Wang Kai with a half-smile on his face. "You can't say that. Tutoring classes are also divided into different levels."

The kind of regular tutoring classes you attend are obviously useless, but if it's a top-tier class taught by renowned teachers from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, the results will definitely be different.

Xu Zhiyi turned his head and found that the person who came was Zhou Mingyu, whom he hadn't gotten along with before.

In fact, very few people in the class liked him.

the reason is simple.

This guy is like a peacock in heat, displaying his feathers everywhere, showing off this and that all day long, I don't know where he gets such a great sense of superiority.

"What do you mean?" Wang Kaiqiang suppressed his displeasure and asked coldly.

"It's nothing much, just telling the truth." Zhou Mingyu shrugged, seemingly casually saying, "My parents also enrolled me in a tutoring class... Have you heard of Qihang Education's Gold Medal Class?"

Xu Zhiyi and Wang Kai exchanged a glance, then turned away in unison, ignoring him.

However, Zhou Mingyu's words had already attracted the attention of several students nearby.

"Qihang Education's Gold Medal Class? I know that tutoring center. I heard the teachers are all top-tier educators, and some have even set college entrance exam questions! Last year, over 70% of the students in the Gold Medal Class got into Tsinghua and Peking Universities!"

"I've heard that too... apparently, it costs a lot of money to get into the top class!"

"It's not just about money. Getting into the elite class isn't just a matter of money; you need connections and to pass the entrance exam. They only accept twenty or thirty students from the entire city of Wuxi!"

"I never expected that someone from our class would make it into the gold medal class... Zhou Mingyu, you're amazing!"

"So-so."

While enjoying the compliments from everyone, Zhou Mingyu smiled modestly, "But the feeling of being in the gold medal class is indeed different. The teachers teach practical knowledge, the problem-solving approaches are very clear, and they even gave us internal past exam questions, which are the essence of past college entrance examination questions."

Although the teacher forbids us from sharing this, if you want it, you can tell me and I can secretly make a few copies for you.

"That's wonderful!"

The surrounding classmates immediately showed their delight and asked Zhou Mingyu for it.

Wang Kai snorted and muttered under his breath, "What's there to brag about? It's just because your family is well-off! Besides, does getting into the top class guarantee admission to Tsinghua or Peking University? If you don't work hard, even the best teacher is useless!"

Zhou Mingyu seemed to hear his words, and his gaze drifted over intentionally or unintentionally. "Some people are just sour grapes. They can't get into the top class themselves, so they say the top class is useless."

Anyway, the monthly exam is tomorrow, so whether it's useful or not will just depend on the score.

Wang Kai's face flushed red, and he sneered, "Fine, I'll see how much you've improved tomorrow! Weren't you ranked behind Xu Zhiyi in the last exam? How many points behind him were you again?"

"Two points!"

Zhou Mingyu snorted coldly.

"You actually remember that?" Wang Kai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Good that you remember. If you can surpass him in tomorrow's monthly exam, then you'll be really impressive!"

"OK!"

Zhou Mingyu agreed without hesitation.

The wager between the two was simply, "You're amazing."

Xu Zhiyi was speechless about this.

Why did you two have to drag me into your argument?

After Zhou Mingyu left, Wang Kai scoffed, "So what if his family has a little money? Look at him, so smug."

After saying that, he leaned close to Xu Zhiyi's ear and whispered, "Brother Xu, tomorrow is all up to you. Try your best to get a high score, and let's see how this guy will still have the nerve to show off!"

Xu Zhiyi ignored him.

He's not just bored and has nothing better to do than bother with this.

At that moment, a light blue game panel quietly appeared in the center of the field of vision:

[The Transmission Elder has detected that he is issuing a new assessment task to you.]

The Elder of Transmission is of a fierce temperament and never tolerates any wrongdoing, but he sees you in a different light. He hopes you can prove your abilities and teach those arrogant fools a lesson during the sect's examinations, which might lead to an unexpected opportunity.

[The current map quest is now available: Pass the test administered by the Elder of Skill Transmission.]

[Task Rewards: 300 Experience Points, 1 Random Blueprint]

drawing?

Xu Zhiyi's eyes twitched slightly.

He turned and glanced at Wang Kai, who was still sighing.

Why did this thing trigger a mission again?

But then again...

Now that this matter has come to him, how can he back down?
