Lin Fan immediately picked up the wooden saber and went downstairs to the garden. As his strength increased, he felt that the wooden saber was even lighter this time. It was light and easy to use, but he felt that it was getting too light for him. However, there was no place to find a saber at this time.
As expected, when he started practicing, Lin Fan immediately felt that something was different. Even though it was just an increase of one level, it was very much different than previously.
After practicing for more than ten rounds and absorbing all the information that appeared in his mind, Lin Fan finally stopped. He went back to take another shower and meditated for a while. He realized that his recovery speed was really slow. Although it was a little faster than sleeping, using the system would be much faster. He had to think of a way to earn money tomorrow!
A peaceful night went by just like that!
On the 12th of July, at six in the morning, Lin Fan woke up and prepared some breakfast. Then, Lin Fan started thinking about how to earn money quickly. After thinking about it for a long time, he still hadn’t thought of any idea.
In the end, he looked at himself in the mirror. Lin Fan looked at his handsome face and couldn’t help but want to sell himself. With his extremely handsome appearance, young and strong body, and a strong waist, he didn’t need to work hard at all. Which woman wouldn’t be tempted? Wouldn’t those rich women go crazy when they saw him?
Wasn’t a rich lady good for him now?
Of course it was!
“Ai~!”
Lin Fan sighed heavily and fell onto the bed. However, he was a clean freak and wasn’t willing to hang out with any woman. Such a good path had been cut off just like that.
Lin Fan had never hated himself so much before. To think that a bright path would come to an end just like that. Why did he have to have a strong moral character? Why did he have to be so principled and have a bottom line?
Wasn’t it good to be a happy freeloader?
Just as Lin Fan was criticizing him from the inside out, he heard a knock on the door.
“Who?”
Lin Fan called out weakly. He got up and opened the door. When he saw who it was, he said, “Brother Chuan? It’s early in the morning during the summer vacation and you’re not sleeping at home. Why are you looking for me? I’m very annoyed now and I’m not in the mood to drink.”
The person who came was Lin Fan’s teacher-in-charge and good friend Duan Chuan. He should be on break right now.
This was the benefit of being a teacher. He had paid breaks during the winter and summer holidays and would only take 10 months of classes a year.
“Go to hell. Why would I drink so early in the morning? I need to talk to you.”
Duan Chuan walked in. Star powers flashed across his eyes and he asked in surprise, “You broke through?”
“Yeah!”
Lin Fan was still in low spirits, “I broke through last night. That kid Guo Zhen gave me a drop of blood essence from a First-grade demon race.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Duan Chuan nodded. So that was how it was. He had been wondering how Lin Fan’s first acupoint could open so quickly without external help.
Lin Fan boiled some hot water and brewed some tea. The tea leaves were from Duan Chuan and the taste was pretty good.
“Didn’t you sleep last night?” Duan Chuan asked casually.
“Of course! I went to bed early and I slept very well. I’m just troubled by other things.” Lin Fan poured a cup of tea for Duan Chuan and himself. He turned around and asked curiously, “Oh right, Brother Chuan, what do you want?”
Duan Chuan’s eyes lit up. Lin Fan didn’t understand how difficult it was to open the acupoints. After all, he hadn’t had much contact with the acupoints and high school lectures regarding this topic were limited.
However, Duan Chuan knew that after opening the first acupoint, one needed to stabilize the opening of the acupoint and this process required a large amount of time, so it was normal for Lin Fan to not sleep for the entire night.
Unless… One had other treasures or medicinal ingredients that could aid in opening one’s acupoint. However, that price was not something that an ordinary family could afford. Having them could allow one to quickly stabilize the opening of the acupoint within a short period of time.
However, according to Duan Chuan’s understanding, Lin Fan definitely did not have this. This was because he was poor and was worse off than an ordinary family. However, Lin Fan’s words revealed that he did not use a lot of time.
There was only one possible explanation, and that was his innate talent.
The stronger one’s talent was, the faster one would be able to open up one’s acupoint. This had nothing to do with money or resources.
Furthermore, Duan Chuan had just seen Lin Fan. It didn’t seem like he had just broken through and his condition was stable. That was why he had asked that question.
Duan Chuan took a sip of tea and didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said again, “Lin Fan, do you know that this period after the examination is a very important period for all of you?
Many people did not care. They thought that after the examination and awakening, they would be able to relax and have fun. However, this was in fact the most important period of time for them.
In this world, more than 99% of people were awakened at the age of 18. From the time they awakened to the time when they went to university, this was the golden period for them to increase their strength and compile their 18 years of foundation with this new power. It was also the period of time for them to improve rapidly. It was also because of this that the gap between many people was widened here.
“If you start at a slow pace, it might cause your life to slow down and be one step behind others. When you enter university, you will need to undergo tests. It’s not just the potential of your talent skills, but also your own strength. Every aspect is crucial. It even affects how much resources you receive in school.” Duan Chuan’s tone was very calm as he spoke of a cruel truth.
When Lin Fan heard these words, he was stunned for a moment before turning serious as well. Initially, he had really thought that he would be able to relax after his awakening and be able to rest. As for wanting to raise his own strength, that was his instinctual pursuit of power.
But from what Duan Chuan had said, this was necessary. Otherwise, he would fall behind others, and this step might cause him to always lag behind everyone.
Just like in his previous life, during peaceful times, as society developed and improved, children’s education became more and more urgent. From a young age, people started applying for all kinds of tutoring classes for their child. If they did not have any hobbies or specialties, they would be one step behind others.
If others were studying or in training classes but you were not attending them, you would be one step behind others. Although many people said that they did not care, they would soon realize the cruel truth. And the more developed a city was, the more important it was for children’s childhood education.
The more subjects there were, the more tutoring classes there would be, and the more money it would cost.
Lin Fan said calmly, “But this is for families with resources. They have strong elders, money, and resources. They will be one step ahead of the children of ordinary families. Even if their talents are the same, they will be one big step ahead. Even if their talent is worse than yours, they will be one step ahead of you when they enter university.
They will also have a better choice and resources allocated to them while you have no choice at all. Furthermore, the resources they will receive in the future will increase at a faster rate than yours. Even if your talent is good, you won’t be able to catch up to them.”
Although Duan Chuan knew that Lin Fan’s thoughts were mature, he didn’t expect Lin Fan to be able to see through this fact so thoroughly. Duan Chuan had originally wanted to wait for Lin Fan to ask before he answered him. But now, there was no need to say anything.
For some reason, he felt a little upset. It was such a rare opportunity for him to show off and share his life experiences, but he was interrupted just like that.
He was halfway through acting cool and wise yet the other party had snatched whatever he wanted to say.
‘F*ck!’
