31. Diary
31. Diary
Two and a half hours later.
With a slightly hurried but not noisy alarm clock ringing, the world became "vibrant" again in Bai Hui's eyes.
Of course, this is only relative.
He was still in the "simple lines" state. The black and white line drawing, combined with two and a half hours of martial arts practice, calmed his mind a little.
Because external time hardly passes during "personal time," and Bai Hui's moves are extremely precise, he is able to calm down to a certain extent.
The sanity level has also significantly recovered.
[Sanity Value: 42/100]
In addition, his single-minded practice of "Xingyi Five Elements Fist" seems to have strengthened his internal organs to a certain extent.
But since it hasn't been long, this feeling isn't very real.
Bai Hui suddenly realized.
In this world where the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurred, strange tales abound, and even human martial arts ultimately aim to transform themselves into something fantastical.
But martial arts ultimately emphasize rules and even the precision of moves.
The process of learning martial arts is like building a relatively orderly framework for scattered thoughts.
Within this framework, scattered thoughts are brought together, constantly tormented and tempered within a limited mental sphere, and eventually condensed into a relatively controllable... human thoughts and desires!
It only affects the user, and can transcend logic to enhance and amplify human skills. It is the core driving force of the supernatural martial arts!
"Heartbreak..."
Bai Hui turned his head and looked at Sister Jing.
Its smooth surface reflected the image of the white stick figure, and within the round stick figure's head, Bai Hui's current stats were displayed—
Name: Bai Hui
[Identity: Student of Class 3, Grade 1, Yuncheng No.1 Middle School; Descendant of a Martyr]
[Realm: Fiend Body (Initial)]
[Heart-Slaying Star: 1]
Martial Arts Skills: Nursing Worker's Boxing (Practice Makes Perfect), Basic Eight-Section Brocade (Practice Makes Perfect), Xingyi Quan (Beginner's Guide), Back-of-Neck Dizziness Tapping Technique (Beginner's Guide)
[Sanity Value: 42/100]
[Current image quality: Simple lines]
……
At this moment, Bai Hui's Heart Aura value is '1', because after condensing his Heart Aura, he was in a state of low rationality for a long time and had seen too many crazy and absurd things.
Even though simple lines can suppress most negative emotions, these negative emotions will still leave some traces.
When combined with highly precise martial arts techniques, the speed at which one's inner strength increases is extremely fast!
It has now grown to a level of '1', an improvement of '0.7' compared to before!
As a result, Bai Hui clearly felt an increase in the burden on his body, as if the gap between his physical and mental state was too large. Although the latter was relatively regular, it still exceeded Bai Hui's physical fitness level.
The Heart Demon will naturally enhance Bai Hui's physical qualities during the martial arts training process, but what follows is a dramatic increase in physical exertion!
In short, Bai Hui was hungry...
"Xiao Hui, how are you feeling now?"
The cook asked with concern, her voice ringing out.
"I am fine."
Bai Hui rubbed his stomach, feeling incredibly empty inside, and his vision blurred, though the sensation wasn't very strong under the [simple lines].
He remained in a highly excited state of mind.
"I'm just a little hungry."
"Then Auntie will go cook for you right now! And your classmates, if you..."
Uncle Zhong interrupted with a "tick-tock," saying, "Just cook normally, Xiao Hui. There's a diary in your room that might help you regain your senses. You can take a look at it while the cook is cooking."
"Xiao Hui is still as handsome as ever, hehehe, do I look pretty, sister?" Sister Jing said with a "coquettish" laugh, but the voice was clearly produced by the tiny cracks in the mirror surface that then healed.
The cracks resembled the pulse of an electrocardiogram, only more irregular, as if listening to Mirror Sister's "heartbeat"...
Bai Hui ignored Sister Jing and said calmly, "Okay, Uncle Zhong. Also... where is the home phone number? I'll call Teacher Li to ask for leave first."
My classmates probably won't be able to get back to school this afternoon.
He Qing is alright; having refined his inner energy, he should be able to regain his sanity more quickly without being affected.
The key is Feng Jue... I wonder if his fake parents will pick him up this afternoon.
Therefore, no matter what, we must find a way to make Feng Jue sober up as soon as possible.
As for Li Youye—
Bai Hui recovered using "personal time," which took only a second to the outside world.
This guy is still shouting vulgarities in the bathroom right now.
Bai Hui ignored him, worried that he might see something dirty.
Furthermore... although this guy hasn't succeeded yet, he's already 'fully focused,' his mind is twisted in an extremely abstract way, he's oblivious to everything around him, and calling him won't help.
"You don't need to worry about that," Uncle Zhong said slowly. "I'll contact the relevant people and explain things to them for you. Teacher Li shouldn't refuse me."
Of course, I also told him not to tell the families of his classmates…”
"Thank you, Uncle Chung."
……
Guided by Sister Jing, Bai Hui returned to his room.
Although he spent all his money to buy three dream artifacts, he is currently living in a rented apartment, which is not small at all. It is 92 square meters and has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
The monthly rent is currently unknown.
However, it's likely that the diary Uncle Chung mentioned contains some records of this.
At this moment, Bai Hui's sanity value has approached the safety line (50), and the black and white line drawing vision suppresses panic.
He naturally recalled some things he had previously overlooked.
For example... before it truly became a bond with Uncle Chung, it mentioned, "You succeeded"...
Bai Hui couldn't help but suspect that his time travel was related to the original body in this world!
Not long after, Bai Hui found the so-called "diary" in the bedside table.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the book, and the very first sentence made Bai Hui pause slightly—
"Hello, my future self."
"If you're from the future, then it means I've truly succeeded."
"If you have already condensed your inner energy, please turn directly to the second page, but remember, do not read any other content before reaching the new standard!"
……
On the first page, there are only these three simple sentences.
Bai Hui calmly turned to the second page—
"I'm not sure how much you still know about the world, but your top priorities are these three things—"
1. Find a way to make money!
"On the second shelf of the bedside table is all your current savings, 106 yuan and forty-eight cents."
Auntie Chef spends about 1500 yuan a month on groceries. Considering your nutritional needs after refining your inner energy, you need to prepare about 3000 yuan a month for food expenses.
If the standards are not met, the cook may lose control to some extent.
In addition, there is a monthly rent of 1000 yuan to pay, and about 220 yuan for water and electricity...
2. Make the most of your time to practice!
"Because of your parents' death, you have been targeted by a calamity beast! The supernatural tale of the Great Xia-style parents is also secretly watching!"
If you're unsure about these two scenarios, I've already prepared a complete set of textbooks for primary and secondary school students for you under the bed!
3. Survive!!!
