In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 13, Practical Arrangements

Yunzhu: My friend and I bought a few new outfits today. Can you give us your opinion?

Yunzhu: Image/, Image/, Image/, Click to view.

Lin Ran zoomed in on the first image.

Inside, he wore a white T-shirt, with Pikachu looking quite aggrieved as it was being poked. His outer layer was a gray sweatshirt, and his bottoms were light blue loose jeans.

The second outfit consists of a gray long-sleeved sweatshirt worn as outerwear, with the hem reaching the hips, and a plaid skirt that covers half of the thighs, paired with bare legs and white sneakers.

The third outfit is a JK uniform: a short blazer top that can't be buttoned up, a fitted top and loose bottom pure white short-sleeved shirt underneath, a three-color plaid skirt that covers half of the thighs, and sheer black stockings with low-heeled leather shoes.

After Lin Ran finished appreciating the bamboo, she gave it a thumbs up.

Lin Ran: The third set is the best looking.

Yunzhu replied instantly: Thanks for the review, I'll wear this outfit tomorrow, meow~

The second piece of news is about Chang Fei.

Chang Fei: Someone named Lin Sheng added you. She is the logistics manager for the elite program and will provide you with one-on-one, 24/7 support.

Lin Ran found the notification and selected "accept".

Lin Sheng replied instantly: Hello Mr. Lin, I am Lin Sheng. The Elite Program is the logistics staff responsible for you. You can contact me directly for any related questions or daily life matters.

Lin Sheng: This is the plan formulated by the Logistics Department based on your progress, as well as the training program for the Elite Program.

Lin Ran opened the plan, which had a table of contents and progress, and was very detailed.

Unfortunately, he progressed a bit too quickly, and the plan was no longer applicable.

The training program is decent, with different resources at each stage. Some resources are marked as valuable and have practical evaluation requirements, corresponding to a percentage bonus.

Lin Ran: Thank you. You don't need to make plans anymore. I have my own rhythm. Could you please deliver 200 catties of spirit beast meat to the apartment and put it in the living room between 9 and 11 o'clock tomorrow?

Lin Sheng: Okay, Mr. Lin, is there anything else planned?

Lin Ran: That's all for now.

Lin Sheng did not respond further.

Lin Ran was very satisfied.

Is this the treatment of elites?

……

Lin Ran got up at 5:10.

I worked on my liver until 7:30.

[Fitness training, experience +648]

[Ascension Ritual, Experience +111]

[Attribute Control - Earth, Experience +149]

I put three cold steamed buns on the orange tree; it made a mess of food again yesterday.

Orange cat: Meow!!!

Foolish human! I'll bite you to death!!

……

Third Middle School

Lin Ran walked into the classroom and immediately saw her deskmate, Yun Zhu.

She did indeed change into her third outfit: a blazer with its back open, revealing a white short-sleeved shirt, and a hole in the skirt.

Good morning~

Yunzhu waved to Linran, her eyebrows and eyes crinkling, her ears twitching, and her tail wagging excitedly.

"Good morning, the clothes are beautiful, but you are even more beautiful," Lin Ran said with a smile.

Yunzhu's face turned red, and she wagged her tail even faster.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is a new breakfast I'm trying. Could you please taste it and tell me how it is?"

"Thanks."

Lin Ran took the breakfast and kicked Chen Fei's chair.

"Old Chen, how's your practice going?"

"I have no clue, Brother Lin, how did you do that?"

Chen Fei sighed, looking melancholy.

Lin Ran shrugged.

"Maybe it's because I'm single-minded, unlike you who think about those things all the time."

A cat tail swaying faster suddenly came into view. Lin Ran realized that it was Chen Fei's deskmate, but it wasn't the cute male cat-person from before. It was a female cat-person with black ears and a black tail who was obviously thinner but even cuter.

Chen Fei also noticed.

he:"……"

Lin Ran's lips twitched, and she patted Chen Fei hard.

"Be mindful of moderation."

"Brother Lin! I didn't!"

"I understand."

Lin Ran chuckled and walked to her seat.

Chen Fei covered his face and sighed, then his deskmate quietly poked him with his cat's tail.

He smirked, then quickly suppressed it.

Lin Ran opened the lunchbox, praised him as usual, and then focused on eating, but in reality, she was thinking about Chen Fei.

If nothing unexpected happens, the cat people already know about his entry into the elite program, and a plan targeting him is likely already underway. The change in Chen Fei's deskmate is probably part of that plan.

So he messaged Lin Sheng to inquire about the situation.

Lin Sheng: Please wait a moment, sir...

Lin Sheng: Commander Liu personally responded, praising Mr. Lin for his exceptional intelligence. The cat people did indeed have actions surrounding you, but there are powerful human figures in the shadows, so they dare not go too far. Just be as usual, and perhaps you can remind your friend.

Lin Ran: I understand. Please thank Commander Liu for me. There's no need to reply unless there's something else.

Lin Sheng did not reply.

Lin Ran remained calm, quickly finished her breakfast, and stopped Yun Zhu from doing so.

"I'll do it."

"Thank you very much." Yunzhu was very happy, her short sleeves shaking.

Lin Ran couldn't help but take a second look.

Yunzhu made a mental note that next time she should wear clothes that were both subtle and obvious. She had to admit that the clothes of the human race were really beautiful.

Before we knew it, the academic classes were over.

[Exceptional Theory, Experience +905]

[Transcendent Theory LV5→LV6: 437/3000]

Lin Ran patted the cat's tail inside her short-sleeved shirt.

"get out of class is over."

"Meow~?"

Yunzhu yawned, straightened her upper body and stretched, her flexibility was remarkable and made her stand out even more.

Lin Ran estimated that there was no one in Class 8 bigger than Yun Zhu.

Yunzhu stretched, a smile playing on her lips, and looked up at Lin Ran.

"It's time to go to your house~"

"Hmm." Lin Ran smiled faintly, her emotions slightly stirred, but she quickly calmed down.

the other side.

Chen Fei didn't come closer; he was being held back by the skinny little cat girl, whose smirk was harder to suppress than an AK.

Lin Ran thought about it and didn't try to persuade him anymore. Not everyone has died naturally like him.

You can't truly understand something without experiencing it firsthand.

drip~

Chang Fei: Emergency! Some cult members who escaped the net have gone to the vicinity of your residence. Their strength is around the third level of the lower-level Awakened Ones. Behave yourself.

Lin Ran: I understand, thank you for reminding me, teacher.

He wasn't surprised; resource development and practical experience are usually paired together.

After all, if we apply game levels, is it really possible for a level 3 monster to escape the pursuit of a bunch of level 40 or 50 bosses?

He said to Yunzhu,

"I'm going to the mall, do you want to come with me?"

"Is it...is it okay?" Yunzhu was overjoyed.

"Of course." Lin Ran pinched Yunzhu's cat ears.

Yunzhu lowered her head, her face flushed.

……

"Lin Ran, is this really the way to the mall?"

As Yunzhu walked along the increasingly remote route, she couldn't help but ask a question, but she wasn't nervous; in fact, she was even a little expectant.

"Does it matter whether we go to the mall or not?" Lin Ran stopped and looked down into Yun Zhu's eyes.

Yunzhu blushed again.

Lin Ran smiled, using this to excite her emotions and thus more effectively control the earth-attribute spiritual energy.

By continuously connecting one's spiritual energy with the earth, one can sense the earth's feedback and use this information to locate cult members.

Lin Ran looked at the orange ears, then reached out her wicked hands and pinched them.

Yunzhu trembled, but did not flinch.

Lin Ran suddenly paused.

"W-what's wrong?" Yunzhu's voice trembled.

"It feels very comfortable."

Lin Ran looked at a house and her smile widened.

We've found you!
