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

Chapter 49 Small talk
Chen Yan didn't want to have too much interaction with Zheng Feng.

After all, the two weren't exactly close to begin with, and Zheng Feng's current state was clearly abnormal; Chen Yan really didn't want to get involved.

So he subtly shifted his feet, gradually increasing the distance between them.

However, the elevator space is only so big at most; no matter how much distance you create, you can't make a huge difference. Besides, Zheng Feng, who is currently in a state of excitement, didn't notice Chen Yan's distance and spoke first:

"Xiao Yan, thank you so much for the other day." Zheng Feng felt that he was fifteen or sixteen years older than Chen Yan, so it was okay to call him Xiao Yan. He continued, "I was drunk that day, and your sister-in-law told me that you were the one who helped me up. You really went to a lot of trouble."

"It's no trouble at all." Chen Yan glanced at the elevator screen; it was only on the third floor. He continued, "Brother Feng, you've already reached the entrance of the complex. I'm just helping you along the way. You can get home by yourself without me."

"Hey, you can't say that." Zheng Feng waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I'm still troubling you."

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, and the elevator quickly arrived at the seventh floor. After saying goodbye, Chen Yan hurriedly stepped out of the elevator, quickly took out his key from his pocket, and opened the door.

"Hey, I've never seen him this socially awkward before." Zheng Feng clicked his tongue, then didn't say anything more and quietly waited for the elevator to go up.

……

Congratulations on successfully completing option two! You have received a reward of 10% increased memory.

As the system notification sounded in his mind, the reward was successfully issued, but Chen Yan didn't feel anything unusual...

Chen Yan wasn't interested in testing his memory, since a mere 10% enhancement wouldn't bring about any earth-shattering changes...

Even among the general population, a 10% difference in memory is quite common.

'If I hadn't passed the Level 4 exam, this skill might have been somewhat useful, but right now... at least for now, it's still a bit of a waste.' Chen Yan sat on the sofa, gently stroking Xiaobai while muttering to himself.

As for Zheng Feng, he had long since put him aside... He didn't have a particularly deep impression of Zheng Feng. He didn't dislike him, but he didn't like him either. Since the other party might have done some bad things, he would just stay away from him.

If there's anything that left a deep impression on him, it's his wife—a mature and beautiful woman with a touch of maternal instincts—who still holds a very strong place in Chen Yan's memory.

"No, what am I thinking?" Chen Yan slapped his forehead, feeling a little ashamed of his behavior of "thinking about" married women.

Of course, Chen Yan has always been shameless, and his already limited "sense of shame" quickly dissipated while petting the cat.

……

Chen Yan's life became quite regular over the next few days.

Every day I attend classes at school. In the afternoon, I skip the required classes and always skip the elective classes. I use the time to practice piano or take lessons in the music room. In the evening, I come back to play badminton with Tian Jingyi.

As for what she will do after playing badminton, that depends on Tian Jingyi's condition today.

The longer they spent together, the more Chen Yan felt that Tian Jingyi was "incompetent and playful".

And in some negative distance movements, the two of them have formed a slightly subtle cycle.
After each workout, she would feel weak in the legs for the next day, and she would refuse all of Chen Yan's challenges.

After her period of weakness subsides, she will begin the "provocative" phase, taking the initiative to invite Chen Yan out.

Provocation, invitation—real combat—legs go weak, one-click rejection. Chen Yan didn't think much of it, after all, his physical condition was now incredibly strong, and even if Tian Jingyi's body was fragile enough to break at the slightest touch, the three of them attacking together wouldn't have any effect on him.

Of course, it's fun to beat noobs, but for an "ambitious young man" like Chen Yan, he also craves high-level matches where the opponents are evenly matched.

……

October has passed by in the blink of an eye.

However, as November began, Chen Yan's life, which had been as calm as a clear lake, was suddenly disrupted.

Mr. Wu, who originally taught him piano, fell down the stairs when he missed a step, resulting in a broken left leg.

When Chen Yan received the news, he was quite surprised, after all, this situation was extremely rare, and its level of bad luck was second only to choking to death while drinking cold water.

Fortunately, Ms. Wu provided a solution, transferring all of Chen Yan's remaining classes to another teacher and providing Chen Yan with the new teacher's contact information.

The new teacher's WeChat account is very simple. The profile picture is a personified image of a white cloud, and the name field only contains the word "Wen".

As for the WeChat Moments, it's almost entirely filled with content related to training institutions, clearly indicating that this is just an account used for work.

After all, many people now have two separate accounts: one for personal life and the other for work, keeping their work and personal lives very separate.

……

Tuesday, 1:15 PM.

Chen Yan arrived at the music room on time. Seeing that there were still fifteen minutes before class and the new teacher had not yet arrived, Chen Yan simply took out the sheet music and started playing it by himself.

Although a month has passed, he still has a great passion for the piano, after all, he can still feel himself making rapid progress at this stage.

No matter what it is, as long as it can provide some positive feedback, it won't make people lose interest too early.

Moreover, Chen Yan is currently still within the validity period of the [20x Talent Enhancement], and he has more or less the idea of ​​maximizing the effect before the expiration period ends.

It's like eating a triple experience pill while playing a game. Even if grinding monsters to level up is boring, players will still obediently control some characters to grind monsters and level up before the experience pill expires.

Of course, unlike the tedious grind of leveling up, Chen Yan didn't find practicing the piano boring. This was partly because he received immediate positive feedback, and partly...

Whether it's due to the [career calendar] or something else, whenever Chen Yan practices the piano, he can quickly enter a state of complete immersion and concentration.

The sense of ease that comes from emptying one's mind is something that Chen Yan is somewhat addicted to. That's why, no matter how busy he is every day, he will always set aside two to three hours for training.

After a month of practice, he has now begun to try to master ornamentation and polyphonic control.

As the music began, Chen Yan's attention gradually focused, and because of this, he did not notice that the footsteps outside, which had been gradually becoming clearer, had suddenly stopped.
