Chapter 74 - Holiday (1/2)

“Didn’t you end your stream early? Why did you get back so late? You didn’t run back, did you?”

“Or were you too tired from running so you had to stop and find a place to do some health recovery?”

“I don’t remember you being this soft?!”

Once Meng Fan entered the dorm, all three roommates sauntered over.

“I got lost.”

Meng Fan couldn’t explain to them that he had gone back and forth around the Quyuan lily pads for an hour. He dropped an excuse and headed for the shower.

The tracksuit that he had redeemed was undoubtedly also high tech. A few minutes after he stopped running, it had dried out. Not only did it dry out all the sweat it absorbed, it even sucked up the sticky feeling that plagued Meng Fan’s entire body. It was as if he didn’t go for a run. To exaggerate a bit, he could probably get away without showering.

But psychologically, Meng Fan could not bear it. It was enough to make him uncomfortable knowing he had waited so long after he had just finished such a long run.

“Hey fatty.”

Meng Fan had just showered and entered the room when Zhang Zhou Wei handed him a bottle of iced cola while smiling. “Are you still planning to run at XiZi lake? When you run, let me know ahead of time, I’ll go help you order dishes in advance. National hotel or outer tower or whatever, I can help you arrange it in advance, ensuring that you’ll eat all the signature dishes when you arrive.”

“I can call ahead on my own.”

Meng Fan deftly rejected him, before lying down on his bed after focusing his gaze on the iced cola for a solid three seconds. He gave Zhang Zhou Wei a side eye and laughed. “What’s wrong, Wang Ya Nan isn’t making you sit in the library to study for postgraduate exams? You’re this free?”

Upon hearing the two words ‘post graduate exams’, Zhang Zhou Wei immediately sunk like a deflated balloon, letting out a deep sigh. “Tell me why I found a straight A student to be my girlfriend, I’m being controlled here! Ever since we started dating, I’ve had no freedom! Someone watches over me while I study, someone planned out my future and even when I eat, I have someone to help me refill my bowl. I can’t even be lazy or picky towards what I eat, it’s too much! Someone washes my clothes too. This is greatly depriving me of my ability to become self-reliant! Sure, I’m upset, but tell me, where is the f*cking enjoyment in all this? Do I have some disease that needs to be cured? Was I poisoned by love?!”

Chen Da Qiang and Xing Ta Ge both began to put on their earbuds, while Meng Fan also turned his black magic earbuds to regular size and put them on as well, only leaving the sound of Zhang Zhou Wei’s endless display of love resonating throughout the dorm.

He took out his phone and opened the ‘BanG-Dream’ mobile game. In the last few days, Meng Fan had managed to play a few rounds, but it was much less than before.

To be honest, if he continues to play these kinds of rhythmic music games after his +16 hand speed increase, there would be next to zero in-game experience.

He added some newly released EX difficulty songs and happily began to play.

Before, he had to try his best to pass EX25, but now, even doing EX28 seemed like a breeze. As for the song ‘六兆年と一夜物语’ that was EX29 difficulty, he was able to successfully beat it, even with full combos. However, it was still difficult to achieve a perfect score.

After all, he wanted to achieve a perfect score under the premise of all his ‘full combos’, or in other words, an All-Perfect round. In addition to incredible hand speed, he also had to have a very strong sense of rhythm.

Meng Fan had a considerably good rhythm, but it wasn’t at a level to be deemed ‘very strong’.

If grinding this f*cking game could trigger some rhythm attribute, then Meng Fan would be beyond happy. Unfortunately, it was useless to look forward to that.

In an instant, he had been playing for over an hour. Meng Fan was surprised to find that he was still not sleepy. Hahaha, it felt so good to be cultivating. Time to read some manga!

It took Meng Fan until 1:30 am to begin feeling tired. This basically affirms the limitations of +1 night owl abilities. If he continued to stay up, it will begin harming his body. Meng Fan naturally did not continue to stay up.

After shrinking the black technology earbuds into his ears, he selected a hypnotic sleeping audio track with a long duration… It did not need to be an hour, for as soon as he felt the drowsiness hit, he could fall asleep within five minutes. Two minutes with the help of the sleeping soundtrack.

The next day when he woke up, Meng Fan felt alive, with no signs that he stayed up so late, making Meng Fan feel assured by the night owl attribute.

Having no side effects is incredible!

Should he turn on the stream for his morning run and show the fickle netizens the beauty of Hang city’s sunrise?

Nah.

“Morning.”

A pleasant voice came from the wind like girl who passed by.

Meng Fan’s idea of ‘beautiful scenery’ lay here!

If it weren’t for the conversations he had had with Wu Tong every morning as the stretched, Meng Fan would consider leaving the school grounds.
