I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 102 Let me challenge my weakness!

"Localized hardening?"

Chen Zhou was slightly taken aback.

He looked at the attribute description of [Local Hardening]:
Localized sclerotherapy: This involves hardening no more than 20% of the body's muscles or skin within a short period of time.

[Cooling time: 1 hours]

???

Chen Zhou typed out several question marks.

Short time, and then cooling down?

That skill is useless.

Before trying to get special effects next time, should I open the "Golden Legend" first?
Maybe we can find a bug.

However, since he had obtained a new attribute effect, he thought he would try it out.

Watching the driver in the front seat diligently driving, Chen Zhou took a deep breath and pointed to his most vulnerable spot.

A real man dares to take on challenges!

Chen Zhou focused his mind and locked his attention on hardening his abdomen.

The fat layer here is thin and there is no bone protection, so it hurts the most when you get hit. If it hardens and can withstand heavy blows, it might save your life in a critical moment.

As the mind focused, a fine, tingling sensation spread across the surface of the abdomen, as if thousands of ants were crawling in a line beneath the skin.

"Hiss—it's a little itchy."

Chen Zhou snorted softly, placed his palm close to his abdomen, and pressed down. The sensation was like a piece of frozen meat just taken out of the freezer.

The hardness is indeed quite good; next, we'll test the time.

Chen Zhou turned on his phone's stopwatch and saw that more than fifty seconds had passed before the hardening effect on his abdomen slowly subsided.

"This short time should be around one minute. I wonder if the duration will increase if the hardening area is small?"

Chen Zhou pondered.

Unfortunately, the hardening skill has a cooldown period, so he can only wait an hour before conducting the experiment.

Chen Zhou knew it from the "thump" sound of the taxi going over the speed bump.

He is home.

After his first day trip to the police station, Chen Zhou returned home feeling as if he had been through a lifetime.

He thought to himself that he shouldn't take such a risk again next time, venturing alone into a den of wolves and tigers.

I almost got detained.

If a similar situation occurs again, at least call Li Bin along, so you'll have someone to keep you company in the detention cell.

When Chen Zhou opened the door with his key, he found that only Lu Mi was watching TV in the living room; the old men were nowhere to be seen.

So he asked Lu Mi:
"Junior, where are my dad and mom?"

Lu Mi stared intently at the unfinished copy of "Empresses in the Palace" that Chen Fang had just finished reading, and said:
"Auntie has to work the night shift, so Uncle took her to the hospital."

Chen Zhou nodded repeatedly; being a doctor is indeed a rather demanding job.

It looks respectable and stable, but the money earned is all hard-earned.

However, seeing Lu Mi's blank stare, Chen Zhou was a little puzzled and threw out a [Insightful Insight]:
[Lu Mi: Zhen Huan's level is high! I never noticed before, but there's so much wisdom in everything she does. I need to learn from her and win over my little brother as soon as possible!]

Chen Zhou: ? ? ?
No wonder Lu Mi has such a high level; it's all the result of long-term accumulation.

But no, can you stop thinking about me, you demonic witch?
Did I look at you or touch you?

Are you still so hung up on it?
Chen Zhou narrowed his eyes, sat down on the sofa, half a meter away from Lu Mi, and casually smiled:

"Junior, were you deliberately targeting me during the Truth or Dare game this afternoon?"

Lu Mi's ears turned red, but she pretended to be innocent:
"No, I was just curious~"

Chen Zhou turned around and quietly looked into Lu Mi's clear, doe-like eyes.

The living room was bathed in the darkness of night, with only the television screen emitting a faint blue light and the faint fragrance emanating from the girl.

Lu Mi felt a little nervous under Chen Zhou's gaze, and she spoke up to remind him:

"Senior..."

Lu Mi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, like a crumpled cotton candy stuck in the air.

Chen Zhou opened [Insightful Insight]:
[Lu Mi: Why is my little senior looking at me like that? Did you discover my beauty and want to take advantage of me? Then I'd better be careful!]

Suddenly, Chen Zhou laughed and said:

"Actually... junior, you're quite pretty when you wash your face!"

Lu Mi recalled the detail of Chen Zhou wiping her eyes last night, and her face instantly flushed red. She replied rather angrily:

"Well... thank you so much for your concern, senior!?"

[Lu Mi: Why can't my little brother focus on my beauty and inner qualities? Why does he have to nitpick about my eye boogers all the time? It's so annoying!]

Having gotten a small reprieve from Lu Mi, Chen Zhou stood up and waved to her, saying:
"I'm going to take a shower and rest now. Little sister, go to bed early too~"

Watching Chen Zhou's retreating figure, Lu Mi gritted her teeth.

Ding!
The system sent a notification:

[Your Majesty has successfully resisted the allure of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult; Imperial Prestige +100]

[Imperial Might: 530]

Chen Zhou curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

The taste of a witch is really good!
Upon entering the bathroom, he immediately announced that he had found the most sophisticated instrument in the world.

A one-degree burn to the left results in a level 10 burn.

A rightward shift, a sorrowful frost.

Thankfully, Old Deng wasn't home, otherwise washing the dishes would have been the most painful part.

The feeling was like my wife's period after marriage, fluctuating between hot and cold.

After finally taking a shower, he immediately went into the room, lay down on the bed, and prepared to start "sex".

The localized hardening and cooling process was complete, and Chen Zhou continued to test the effects of his skill.

We previously tested hardness and time over a wide range; now let's test hardness and time over a narrower range.

and many more……

A lone man in a room, with both hardness and a small area.

do not care!
Initiate hardening!
A wave of intense itching washed over me, like a snake shedding its skin—a strange and indescribable sensation.

After the hardening was successful, Chen Zhou first turned on the stopwatch to start timing, and then began to test the hardness in a small area.

In conclusion, Chen Zhou's assessment is as follows:
Purely useless skill.

Aside from taking a break from pornography, he didn't know what use this skill could have.

Well, something is better than nothing.

Chen Zhou comforted himself, then turned on his phone, ready to surf the internet.

He first found Li Bin and asked:
Are you going to implement the foundation-building plan today?

Li Bin replied quickly:

"Absolutely! I'm not going to be a skinny dog ​​anymore! I want to become a muscular, powerful man!"

Chen Zhou nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, the first step to quitting pornography is setting your mind to it, and that requires your indomitable spirit. I'll give you a few keywords; search for them and stick to it, you absolutely cannot give up!"

Li Bin typed "OK," and then said:

"Send it! Let me challenge my weakness!"

After a moment's thought, considering Li Bin's tolerance level, Chen Zhou still sent a few low-level messages:
"Try these three first. If you can last for ten minutes, it means you're still salvageable. Otherwise, just cut it off."

Li Bin snorted and said:

"Elbow, you underestimate me! Wait for my message in ten minutes! I'm going to show you my willpower!!"

however……

Three minutes later, he sent a crying emoji:

"Pork knuckle, I've messed up!"

Chen Zhou: ? ? ?
He asked in surprise:
"Dude, I haven't even finished watching one video on repairing cow hooves, and you not only found it in your search, but you also finished watching it?"

Li Bin burst into tears:

"Quitting pornography is too difficult!"

Chen Zhou told him the principle that Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are first tested and made to endure hardship.

Li Bin understood, and then said:

"This time I'm determined to last at least ten minutes!"

Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone knows, the second time lasts much longer than the first time, and Li Bin should be able to last for half an hour this time.

Chen Zhou continued to switch screens to watch the repair of the cow's hoof.

Unexpectedly, after watching three minutes, then another two minutes, and just as I finished watching the five-minute video of repairing cow hooves, Li Bin replied with another message:

"Waaaaah~ I can't take it anymore!"

Chen Zhou was speechless:
"You're done again?"

Li Bin: "Hmm..."

Chen Zhou: "..."

Li Bin: "..."

Chen Zhou: "..."

Li Bin: "..."

Chen Zhou covered his forehead and said helplessly:

"Binzi, your lungs are burning with heat. Your willpower can't save you anymore. You should go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and get a prescription."

Li Bin asked, somewhat unwillingly:

"Elbow, how long do you usually take?"

Chen Zhou exclaimed:
"Me? At least two hours."

Li Bin immediately fell silent, clearly deeply affected.

Chen Zhou sighed.

He knew Bin Zixu was a fraud, but he didn't expect him to be this fraudulent.

Seeing that Li Bin was no longer replying to messages, Chen Zhou first went back to the village to check on the group of old fogies, and then opened the Qidian Reading app.

I haven't read the book "I Became an Actor in Tokyo" for a while.

As we all know, you can't let a book on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) "grow" (or "support" it). If you try to "grow" it, the author will fall into a negative cycle of self-doubt because there are no comments or responses.

So Chen Zhou developed a good habit: first, he cast six recommendation votes, then sent a monthly vote, and finally left a comment.

"Bai Tao, could you please update sooner? I just tipped you one yuan on Biquge."

Effectively prompted for more updates!
Next, we begin our wondrous journey into the world of Tokyo male porn stars.

Come out, little elf!

Morisawa Kana!

Just as Chen Zhou was completely absorbed in Bai Tao's writing, a message suddenly popped up on QQ.

He was furious.

Who's so ungrateful to bother him at this time? What if the plane crashes?
However, upon seeing that the message was sent by Bai Tao Da, he instantly performed a dramatic face-changing act, like something out of a Sichuan opera:
"Hi, big brother!"

Bai Tao sent a screenshot of Chen Zhou's comment, and then sent an angry emoji:

"You actually tipped me a dollar on Biquge?"

"real!"

"I really want to punch you to death!"

Chen Zhou chuckled:

"Bai Tao Da, I recently became incredibly rich. If you add an extra chapter tomorrow, I'll support you and become a guild leader!"

Bai Tao sent a heart-fluttering emoji, but her words were completely different:

"Add an extra chapter? Haha, there's no way I'll ever add an extra chapter in my life!"

In the book club, Bai Tao is also known as the "civil servant" of Qidian. He updates twice a day without fail, and sometimes he even has to ask for leave.

If it weren't for the fact that she wrote borderline novels and her writing was genuinely good, Chen Zhou would have worried about whether she could make any money.

Then Chen Zhou said with deep affection:
"Bai Tao, wait until I make a fortune, then I'll take care of you and write novels for me all the time." Bai Tao asked, puzzled.

"A man's words are deceitful. How much are you planning to pay me a month? Are you trying to keep me as a mistress?"

Chen Zhou made a painful decision:

"Three thousand a month, you just need to write ten thousand words a day, and then I'll publish your work!"

Bai Tao burst out laughing:
"Dream on! You're making a profit off the difference! You wicked capitalist, you deserve to be hanged from a streetlamp!"

Chen Zhou chuckled:
"It's because Bai Tao writes so well, really. Although I love reading it, I always feel it's a pity that you write about Tokyo. Your writing is at least in the top ten of the overall rankings!"

Bai Tao Dalian said:

"I know my own level, and besides, I write novels not for fame or fortune, but purely out of personal interest."

Chen Zhou was speechless. Bai Tao was truly one of the most candid people in history to have spoken so frankly about the reasons for writing borderline novels.

He replied silently:
"Awesome..."

Bai Tao laughed heartily:
"By the way, I've compiled the plot and missions for the new book. I'll send you a copy later, and we'll experience it together then."

Chen Zhou then remembered what Bai Tao had mentioned last night: she was planning to start a new book on the theme of "Master's Mission" and wanted to experience it online with him to find inspiration.

Chen Zhou wholeheartedly agreed that he could help Bai Tao.

He replied:
"Oh my god, besides me, which other reader would spoil you like this?"

Because it was an online chat, and everyone was a complete stranger from all corners of the world, Chen Zhou kept talking in a nonsensical way, one phrase after another.

A short while later, Bai Tao sent over a Word document.

When Chen Zhou opened it, he was surprised to find that it was actually a mind map.

As he continued, a series of tasks truly sparked the imagination of this surfing enthusiast:

Task 1: "Personalized Nickname"

Task 2: "School Ceremony"

Task 3: Time-Limited Task

Task 4: Video Shooting

Task 5: "..."

Chen Zhou glanced at it and saw that there were forty or fifty tasks in total. Not only were there task names, but each task also had detailed settings and requirements.

He glanced at it briefly, then exclaimed in admiration, saying to Bai Tao:

"Bai Tao Da, your imagination is simply amazing!"

Bai Tao didn't say anything, and surprisingly, she didn't joke:
"After watching this, let's take a moment to process it. We'll start in ten minutes. I need to be mentally prepared too."

"Bai Tao Da, I will definitely do my best to help you find inspiration."

"Yeah, come on!"

"..."

Chen Zhou carefully read through the first task, "Exclusive Title," pondering how to express it coherently.

In the storyline, he plays Cheng Zhuo, a useless teenager who accidentally gains the ability to hypnotize, and through psychological suggestion, he slowly becomes the master of Jiang Yunong, his beloved.

"Jiang Yunong?"

Chen Zhou heard the name and felt it sounded vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

However, as expected of Shiramomo Dai, he is well-versed in Tokyo literature.

This kind of plot requires three to five years of experience to design and create something of this purity.

But coincidentally, Chen Zhou was also familiar with this track.

Ten minutes flew by, and the story began—

Jiang Yunong, having been bothered by Cheng Zhuo during the day, found him on her phone that evening:

"Cheng Zhuo, don't come looking for me anymore. I already have someone I like!"

Cheng Zhuo smiled slightly in front of his phone:
"No, from now on, the only person you can love is me. Your body and your soul will belong to me completely!"

On the other side, Jiang Yunong sent a message with disdain:

"I don't want to go crazy with you. Can you stay away from me from now on? I don't want Bai Qian to misunderstand."

Cheng Zhuo snorted:
"Bai Qian, what is he compared to me? I will make you my slave now, for all eternity!"

After saying that, Cheng Zhuo sent Jiang Yunong a picture with a strange pattern.

After this period of preparation, he had already planted a psychological suggestion in Jiang Yunong's mind.

With just one switch, he could become Jiang Yunong's master.

This patterned picture is the key to unlocking Jiang Yunong's heart.

Sure enough, the moment she saw the picture, the light in Jiang Yunong's eyes dimmed, and she murmured:

"Master...who is my master? Bai Qian...no, it's Cheng Zhuo!"

"Cheng Zhuo is my master!"

After thousands of psychological suggestions, Jiang Yunong had now completely transformed into Cheng Zhuo's form.

She typed blankly on her phone:

"Owner."

Cheng Zhuo chuckled:

"Now you've finally figured out your place. From now on, Jiang Yunong will always be my little dog, and you can only love me!"

Jiang Yunong repeated the dialogue as instructed:

"Jiang Yunong will always be her master's little dog, and she only loves her master!"

Cheng Zhuo stared at his phone screen, his fingertips rapidly tapping on the keyboard:
“From now on, your special name will be ‘Jiang Yutong’. Whenever I mention this name, you should remember that you are my forever loyal servant.”

After sending the message, he watched the cursor blinking in the chat box and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Not long after, Jiang Yunong paused for a long time before replying to the message:

"Yes... Master, I am Jiang Yutong, and I will always be your little dog."

Plot 1 - Exclusive title over!

Chen Zhou nodded in satisfaction, looking at the screen full of messages he had sent to Bai Tao.

Why did he say that the name Jiang Yunong sounded so familiar? It sounds a bit like the name of Squad Leader Jiang!

Anyway, the document Bai Tao gave him didn't mention any special nickname, so he was left to think of one himself.

Those are all strangers on the internet, so I can only apologize to the class monitor; it just came out too easily.

Chen Zhou chuckled. If Jiang Yutong found out, wouldn't she just spin into the sky and slap him?

Then, Chen Zhou sent Bai Tao a "!", which in acting means the end of the role.

Soon, Bai Tao Da said:

"The special nickname you gave me is a bit strange. Could it be your girlfriend's name?"

Chen Zhou chuckled:

"No, this is the name of my class monitor. I just thought it sounded like the female lead's name, so I just picked it out without thinking."

Bai Tao was silent for a moment, then said:
"Since it looks similar, let's use this one."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhou began showering him with compliments from every angle.

However, for some reason, Bai Tao wasn't very interested in chatting.

After a brief chat, we agreed to continue with storyline 2 tomorrow night, and then Bai Tao quickly logged off.

Chen Zhou shook his head, thinking that Bai Tao might have had a burst of inspiration and was probably preparing the beginning of her new book.

If someone chatted with him when he was a captain in the Chinese server, he would act the same way.

Just as Chen Zhou was about to put down his phone and go to the restroom, Jiang Xia sent another message:

"Are you going to play badminton tomorrow? I just bought a new tub of shuttlecocks!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou immediately perked up and said:

"Okay, okay, if you put it that way, I can't not go!"

He knows perfectly well how expensive badminton shuttlecocks are these days; a good tub of them can easily cost two or three hundred yuan.

A bucket of balls is gone in one night.

He couldn't possibly not participate in this completely free activity.

Suddenly, Jiang Xia said again:

"Oh right, bring your junior along too! It's not good to leave her at home alone."

Chen Zhou said helplessly:
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely bring it."

Actually, he didn't really want to bring Lu Mi along. With this witch by his side, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause.

Today at the Fengshan observation deck, if it weren't for Jiang Xia saving the day, he would have almost become the villain.

Didn't you see how Bai Qianqian looked back then? If she hadn't said something right, she probably would have burst into tears.

Jiang Xia then asked:
"Don't squander that 800,000 you won. Be frugal and spend wisely, but don't be extravagant."

Chen Zhou smiled and said:

"You're thinking about your 400,000, why are you still eyeing my 400,000?"

Jiang Xia blushed and said:

"I'm just giving you advice, do you understand? Bride prices are high in Jiangxi, save it for when you get married!"

Chen Zhou scratched his head and sighed:

"Why are you just like my parents, always talking about bride price?"

Jiang Xia chuckled to himself:

"There's nothing we can do, the bride price is just too high."

Chen Zhou asked:

"So how much dowry are you planning to ask for in the future?"

Jiangxia Natural Way:
"What do I need a bride price for? I have hands and feet, and it's not like I can't earn money."

Chen Zhou paused, then asked in surprise:
"You really think so? I thought most women would ask for some dowry."

Jiang Xia snorted:
“I’m different from others. Not only am I exempt from bride price, but I also bring my own dowry. Do you understand the value of being an only child in Jiangxi?”

Chen Zhou gave it a thumbs up repeatedly:

“Niu Boyi, Niu Boyi, then let’s just settle for each other. I’ll give you 400,000 in betrothal gifts, and you give me 400,000 in dowry. Together we’ll have 800,000.”

Jiang Xia blushed:
"...Get lost, who wants to marry you?"

Chen Zhou was filled with grievances:

"When we were little, we played house, and you even tried to force me to marry you!"

Jiang Xia's face turned bright red:

"That was all when we were kids. We're all grown up now, okay?"

Chen Zhou grinned and said:
"A woman's mouth is a liar's tongue; Jiang Xia has loved to lie since she was a child!"

Jiang Xia clenched his fist and said into the phone:

"If you say again that you won't be allowed to play tomorrow, and you'll have to be a caddie picking up balls!"

Faced with Jiang Xia, who wielded the formidable weapon of badminton, Chen Zhou quickly yielded:
"Okay, okay, Purple Stain, I was wrong!"

Jiang Xia smiled with satisfaction:
"That's a better attitude. Now go to sleep. We'll meet at the gym at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon!"

Chen Zhou salutes:

"Yes, sir!"

After explaining tomorrow's itinerary, Jiang Xia didn't send any more messages.

Chen Zhou was holding his urine and hurriedly pulled on his pajama bottoms to go urinate.

He shuffled along in his slippers, the wooden floorboards creaking under his feet like a death knell.

"I need to pee! I need to pee!"

Chen Zhou opened the door and rushed straight to the toilet.

But to his surprise, just as he opened the door and rushed towards the toilet, a blue figure also emerged from the toilet.

Chen Zhou's room was right next to the toilet, and the distance between them was only a few dozen centimeters.

He couldn't stop in time and crashed head-on into it.

"what!!"

Lu Mi, who had just come out of the shower, panicked and immediately closed her eyes.

(End of this chapter)
