When Shen Qian, soaking wet, opened his eyes and looked at the emerald green plant emitting a faint glow in his palm, he could only marvel at how awesome the system was.
Schisandra chinensis grows near water and is naturally adept at camouflage, making it extremely difficult to locate. Most of the Schisandra chinensis used in medicine today are artificially cultivated, and the cost and harvest from wild harvesting are simply not proportional.
The system-produced physical enhancement drugs may be more potent, and wild schisandra berries may also play a part in this.
Before using the system's automatic idle mode for the first time, I thought about it and brought up that dialog box again.
"I want one million."
Before sinking, I entered a simple wish.
"The target task conditions are not met, and the AFK attempt has failed."
The system notification popped up quickly.
Then, before sinking, I entered 500,000, 200,000, 100,000... and the result was the same.
He clicked his tongue in disappointment, then continued typing.
"I want ten girlfriends..."
After thinking about it, Chen Qian deleted the sentence and changed it to "I want ten rich girlfriends".
The system remained unresponsive for a long time, and just as Shen Qian was wondering if the system had frozen, a notification finally popped up.
"Please look in the mirror, host."
Shen Qian flew into a rage on the spot, cursing the system as a blind machine, asking how it could possibly understand human aesthetics.
After a long while, once he calmed down, he continued to type: "Enhance mental strength".
"The target task conditions are not met, and the AFK operation has failed."
(Note: The host can try again after advancing to the initial martial artist level.)
The sinking was somewhat unexpected.
The failed AFK session was within his expectations, but what did the following annotation mean?
Before I went to the internet, Teacher Liu mentioned that although the internet is advanced, high-level martial artists rarely appear online, and much martial arts knowledge is missing online.
Perhaps there are legal restrictions.
However, according to the scattered information that Shen Qian had found, mental power is a level exclusive to the Mountain and Sea Realm, and obsidian spirit stones can only passively nurture mental power. But according to the system, it seems that even beginner martial artists can actively improve their mental power.
He immediately dismissed his wild thoughts. In any case, his most pressing task was to advance to the level of a beginner martial artist as soon as possible.
...
The alarm clock didn't wake Shen Qian. It wasn't until Wang Xiaojuan went out to buy groceries and noticed that Shen Qian's bedroom was tightly closed that she became suspicious and discovered that her son was still sealed in bed.
However, Wang Xiaojuan was clearly startled by Shen Qian's heavy dark circles under his eyes. Her expression changed immediately, and she began rummaging through the bed and trash can for something.
Shen Qian regained some of his senses and asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Finding no "evidence," Wang Xiaojuan's expression softened somewhat. She said irritably, "You have class today, right? Why aren't you up yet?"
"It's okay, I'll take a taxi, it'll be quick," Shen Qian said, slowly putting on his clothes and yawning.
He worked himself to the bone last night, refining medicine until 4 a.m. before finally going to sleep. If it weren't for the group notification that everyone was required to attend today, Chen Qian would have already planned to take another day off.
"Take a taxi?" Wang Xiaojuan asked suspiciously. "It would cost fifty or sixty yuan to get to school from here, where did you get the money?"
Shen Qian finally came to his full senses, but quickly said without changing his expression, "My dad gave it to me."
"Your dad?"
Wang Xiaojuan, who had always controlled the family finances, suddenly changed her expression and turned to go to the master bedroom.
Shen Liang, who had just fallen asleep after working the night shift last night, was dragged out of bed in a daze. Hearing Wang Xiaojuan's questioning voice coming from the master bedroom, Shen Liang hurriedly put on his clothes and slipped out of the house before being summoned as a witness.
...
At Jingcheng No. 7 Middle School, Shen Qian walked into Class 109's classroom perfectly on time, while pondering something else.
If I'm worried about not being able to get up in the future, can I use the auto-play system to set an alarm for myself?
For example, "Take me to school at eight o'clock".
That way, I can get to school in the blink of an eye... Perfect.
Shen Qian hung up the phone again after hearing Shen Liang's call, and before Wang Yangming could speak, he reached out to stop him, saying, "Don't ask, the answer is insomnia. I don't even keep tissues in my bedroom."
Wang Yangming swallowed back the question, "What did you do last night?" Instead, he said, "Why did you take two days off? Teacher Liu didn't say why. Oh, by the way, did you know that Ding Yi dropped out of school?"
Shen Qian was taken aback. So fast?
Then he remembered Ding Yi's unusual behavior that day, and it seemed that he really had come to say goodbye.
It's a pity we didn't get to kiss.
"Don't leave after school, I'll have someone come and ambush you." Shen Qian didn't reply, but instead said.
"What?" Wang Yangming looked completely bewildered.
"Oh, I just blurted it out... I have something to tell you." Shen Qian patted Wang Yangming on the shoulder and walked back to his seat.
There are four classes in the morning. In fact, by the second semester of senior year, there is nothing new to learn. Whether it is the first math class or the second basic martial arts class, it is all just reviewing the previous content.
The basic martial arts class was held in a large classroom. During a sparring session, a small incident occurred. He lost control of his strength and kicked his deskmate, Zhou Xu, flying. The entire room fell silent.
However, Shen Qian quickly explained that the floor was too slippery and Zhou Xu had been distracted, which caused him to fall.
Sure enough, in the following sparring session, Shen Qian became unremarkable again, and everyone quickly forgot about the little incident. Even Zhou Xu wondered if he had accidentally stepped on something.
Conceal your abilities and bide your time, then challenge the martial arts masters.
This was the strategy I set for myself before sinking.
The system's origins are unknown. Once its secrets are discovered by others, it might become material for dissection and research.
