I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 119 A girl’s worries
Turning his head, he saw Wen Ya looking at him with a complicated expression.

For a teacher, producing an outstanding student can bring her a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction; but if the student is too talented and quickly surpasses her efforts of nearly twenty years, even if the teacher is broad-minded, she will feel a little lonely in addition to pride.

After all, in the face of such a genius, the efforts of ordinary people seem like a joke and are easily surpassed.

Of course, Chen Yan did indeed use some tricks when it came to playing the piano.

To judge a pianist's skill level, one can generally look at three aspects: technical ability, musical expressiveness, and artistic personality and creativity.

The last aspect is something only top geniuses possess; 99.9% of piano players have virtually no progress in this area.

With the talent bonus provided by the [Career Calendar], Chen Yan's skills have improved rapidly... As for musical expression, which relies even more on talent, although he has entered the stage of technical learning, he can't compete with the [Emotional Resonance] that the system has given him.

With this almost bug-like skill, Chen Yan's musical expressiveness quickly surpassed 99.9% of piano players.

In competitions for ordinary people, piano technique is the main factor in scoring; but when the competition level is raised and all contestants have excellent technical skills, it becomes a matter of musical expression.

It was precisely because of this that in just five months of practice, Wenya felt completely overwhelmed by his talent.

"No matter what, Sister Wenya is still my teacher." Chen Yan stood up and said with a smile, "I will always respect Sister Wenya as my teacher."

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Wen Ya almost burst out laughing... Does "respecting her as a teacher" mean the kind of respect that involves putting her on the table at noon and starting to exercise?
She understands Chen Yan all too well; the so-called "teacher" role is purely to give her buffs and add more fun to their activities.

Thinking of this, Wen Ya couldn't help but lightly pinch Chen Yan's neck and said irritably, "Let's go, are we eating out or at home?"

"Let's go home. I'll help Sister Wenya."

……

That night.

Chen Yan lay in bed and first scrolled through his WeChat Moments for a while.

He soon saw Pan Yang's WeChat Moments post, where the person had posted a screenshot of their archive with the caption...

[I just bought 100 tickets yesterday, and today they've gone up by over 300, making a small profit of 30,000... Going all in is a kind of wisdom!]

"Wow, I bought a hundred of them." Because of Pan Yang, Chen Yan also learned a bit about this "Easter egg" sticker. If he remembered correctly, the price of the sticker had already risen to over 2000 yesterday.

So Pan Yang spent 200,000 yuan yesterday to hoard stickers... 200,000 yuan is not much money for Chen Yan, but when he thought about Pan Yang's financial situation and how he borrowed money everywhere yesterday, he realized that Pan Yang was in dire need of money.

He suddenly realized that this guy had gone mad... With a seven-day non-trading period and the fact that the market maker could manipulate prices at will, he actually dared to go all in under these circumstances.

They even borrowed money to go all in on gambling.

Chen Yan shook his head, no longer knowing what to say.

Just as Chen Yan continued to scroll down, he suddenly received a message from Shen Dong.

[Shen Dong: Dude, are you free tomorrow?]

[Chen Yan: ?]

[Chen Yan: What's the matter first?]

[Shen Dong: Shall I take you on a date with a stunningly beautiful woman?]

[Chen Yan: Speak like a human being.]

[Shen Dong: My girlfriend and I, plus you and Lin Zhixi, how about we go on a trip together?]

[Shen Dong: Mainly because my partner said Lin Zhixi has been acting a bit strange lately...]

Through Shen Dong's explanation, Chen Yan roughly understood what had happened.

When Kang Le was in class with Lin Zhixi today, she noticed that Lin Zhixi seemed a little down, but she couldn't get any information out of her, so she thought of him.

[Chen Yan: Dude, you couldn't even get the answer out of your girlfriend after being her roommate for a year, so what right do I have to comfort her?]

Despite saying that, Chen Yan has already decided to attend the party tomorrow.

Twenty percent of the reason was that the other person was pretty enough, fifty percent was that they had a good relationship and were considered friends, and the remaining thirty percent was because of the identity of the adopted sister.

'Old Chen, you should thank me properly. I don't know how much I've sacrificed to maintain your new family.' After jokingly thinking to himself, Chen Yan was about to send another message when Shen Dong's reply came through.

[Shen Dong: Kang Le said you're different; you're the opposite sex she's ever met who has the best relationship with Lin Zhixi.]

Shen Dong: What friendship can't do, perhaps beauty can.

[Chen Yan: (expressionless, jpg)]

[Chen Yan: Location, Time]

[Shen Dong: Tomorrow at 12 noon, Anyang steak.]

Chen Yan: OK

After sending the message, Chen Yan lay down to sleep. He didn't believe Shen Dong's claim that "beauty can solve everything," not even a punctuation mark.

To be honest, he didn't have much lust for Lin Zhixi, or rather, even if he did have some desire because of her beauty, it was forcibly dispelled by their sibling relationship.

Of course, another unavoidable reason is that although Lin Zhixi is beautiful, she is not his type.

He was attracted to the perfect busty woman like Wen Ya, with her large breasts, slim waist, and long legs, while he had little desire for the aloof and younger woman like Lin Zhixi, with her slender shoulders and waist. Chen Yan had a vague feeling that Lin Zhixi, like him, wasn't a very sociable person. The reason they became friends was due to their similar personalities and sibling-like relationship, but there was another unavoidable factor: she could sense that he didn't have any romantic feelings for her.

That's why they became good friends.

'I'll try to ask him tomorrow, just to help my friend out of his troubles and also to repay the favor from his mother for the red envelope.'

Chen Yan closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.

During this period, he slept for about eight hours a day. It wasn't that his special skill, [Efficient Sleep], had failed, but rather that Chen Yan had mastered a new ability...

Having acquired the [Dream Matching] ability for some time, Chen Yan has gained a good grasp of this skill and even mastered a derivative technique of this ability—Lucid Dreaming.

The biggest difference between Lucid Dreaming and Dream Matching is that one is a single-player mode, and the other is a two-player online mode...

However, as we all know, as long as the storyline is good enough and the gameplay is excellent enough, single-player games can also be very attractive.

'What kind of dream should I have tonight?' Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then quickly decided on a theme, 'Let's have a script about a hypnotic photographer and a newlywed couple.'

……

The next day, at 11:40 a.m., Chen Yan arrived at the steakhouse and quickly found the table that Shen Dong had reserved.

To his surprise, even though he arrived twenty minutes early, he was the last of the four to arrive.

'How come everyone's so punctual?'

As he was thinking, Chen Yan looked up at Lin Zhixi.

Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders like silk, and paired with her fair skin, she gave off the vibe of a cool, aloof, and beautiful young woman with long, straight black hair.

Of course, Chen Yan knew that this guy wasn't "ice-cold," he was just too lazy to socialize.

'What ice beauty? Just a lazy, innocent beauty.' After muttering to himself, Chen Yan sat down in the last seat.

The four people are positioned like this right now.

First row: Shen Dong, Kang Le.

Second row; Chen Yan, Lin Zhixi.

"Chen Yan, you've gotten even more handsome since I last saw you." Kang Le observed him carefully and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Have you been working out or something?"

Chen Yan knew very well that Kang Le's feeling was not an illusion. Since obtaining the [Pure Yang Body], his physique had improved further, resulting in a more outstanding visual appearance.

"I've been working out lately, so I'm probably in better shape. Plus, with today's outfit, you might think I've become more handsome," Chen Yan replied with a smile. He then patted the "Ice Beauty" on the shoulder and asked, "Ice Beauty, how do I look today?"

"What 'Ice Beauty'? What an awful nickname. You're not even as good as that 'Bookworm' you were last time." Lin Zhixi looked him over carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "You have indeed become a bit more handsome. Not bad."

The four chatted and laughed. During the meal, Chen Yan kept observing Lin Zhixi carefully and eventually discovered some problems.

The other person always gave him the feeling that they were somewhat tired, not physically tired, but mentally tired.

Of course, Chen Yan hadn't asked what exactly happened yet, planning to find a better opportunity later.

When they had almost finished eating, Shen Dong suddenly asked, "By the way, is there anywhere you'd like to go next?"

"Didn't you make any plans?" Chen Yan asked casually.

“We’re all so familiar with each other, it doesn’t matter what we order.” Shen Dong shrugged and said, “If all else fails, I’ll take you to a board game store, and we can play Werewolf and Flying Machine for an afternoon.”

"Forget it, I know there's a tennis club nearby, how about we go play some tennis?"

Chen Yan learned from Kang Le that Lin Zhixi had a hobby of playing tennis, and planned to take her to exercise... Although exercise can make the body tired, it is indeed a good way to relieve mental stress.

Chen Yan has seen many people vent their emotions by running after a breakup.

“Sure, I’ve been a bit sedentary lately.”

"I can do it."

After confirming that no one objected, the four headed towards a nearby club called "Summit Tennis".

After paying, they started playing ball... It's worth mentioning that Chen Yan specifically rented two courts, one for him and Lin Zhixi, and one for Shen Dong and Kang Le.

……

"How are your skills? Have you practiced before?" Lin Zhixi asked this question before serving, intending to go easy on her a little.

After all, a give-and-take approach is necessary to ensure a positive experience for the weaker party...

"Just go all out, I'll give it a try first." Chen Yan only had a general understanding of the rules of tennis, but...

With his current physical abilities, as long as his opponent's skills haven't reached the [professional level], he has a fighting chance.
