They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Yannan University's cafeteria has four floors. The first and second floors are traditional school cafeterias where you take your tray, queue up to get your food, and then swipe your card to pay.

The third floor is similar to the food court on the basement level of many shopping malls, with all kinds of snack stalls from all over the country lined up, making food to order.

As for the fourth floor, there is a relatively large barbecue restaurant and a hot pot restaurant. Ordinary students rarely go there. Only occasionally will a rich guy or girl treat them to a private event and choose this place if they don't want to go off-campus.

However, the milk tea and fruit tea shops on the fourth floor were doing brisk business. Chen Lin needed to save money, so he usually drank mineral water, but a large part of his errand-running business involved these tea drinks.

That's why he became familiar with most of the owners on the third and fourth floors.

The boxed lunches that Li Zihan and her friends ordered came from a stir-fry restaurant called "Aunt Wang's Stir-Fry" on the third floor. This restaurant is very special; it only sells three fixed combinations of boxed lunches each day: one meat and one vegetable, two meat and one vegetable, and one meat and two vegetable.

Because of its high-quality ingredients and taste comparable to street food stalls outside the school, but with prices only slightly higher than regular canteens, the business is extremely popular.

Chen Lin glanced at the time on his phone: 17:39.

Aunt Wang's stir-fry stall has a long queue starting at six o'clock, stretching from the third floor to the second-floor stairwell.

Chen Lin quickly put on her shoes, went to the bathroom to wash her face with water, and hurried out the door.

Because he has been running errands, Chen Lin has kept track of the time it takes to walk from his dormitory to the cafeteria. At a normal pace, it takes between 15 and 20 minutes, so walking is no longer a safe option.

As soon as Chen Lin stepped off the dormitory stairs, he started running.

He had only taken two steps when the system's light screen lit up in front of him again without warning.

[Host detected requires high-speed running!]

Health is the foundation of everything! Run, proud young man, run!

[Task requirement: Run 100 meters within 30 seconds]

[Reward Title: Little Champion]

[Little Athlete: Your strength, jumping ability, speed, and other physical attributes will increase by 100%!]

"..."

Again.

This was the third time Chen Lin had faced this situation, and he was quite calm.

So, facing the evening breeze, Chen Lin began to accelerate.

Despite being a Chinese literature major, Chen Lin's physical fitness is far superior to that of his peers who spend their days holed up in their dorm rooms playing games and scrolling through short videos, thanks to his long hours running errands around campus for a few yuan.

Running 100 meters in 30 seconds is not difficult for him.

Twenty seconds later, the system displayed two new messages.

[It has been determined that the host has run 100 meters within 30 seconds!]

[Mission Completed! Rewards Issued!]

Almost the instant the notification appeared, Chen Lin felt his legs, which had felt slightly heavy from running, suddenly become incredibly light, as if he had unloaded several kilograms of sandbags.

Each breath became deeper and longer.

You can perceive and control every part of your body.

"Holy crap, this feels amazing!"

Chen Lin's heart stirred, and he decided to immediately test just how powerful this 100% improvement in physical fitness really was.

He lowered his center of gravity and stomped his feet hard on the ground!

"Whoosh—!"

He was instantly launched from his spot!

On the main road of the campus in the evening, people come and go, and groups of students leisurely walk towards the cafeteria or library.

Suddenly, a blur of motion rushed past them, whipping up a gust of wind that ruffled the long hair of the passing girl.

"Holy crap! What just passed by?" A guy who was about to light a cigarette almost dropped his lighter because his hand trembled.

"It looks like a person? It's running way too fast!"

"Is this the track and field team? Are they training?"

"You can't run like that during training, it's terrifying! And he wasn't even wearing sportswear, just a regular T-shirt."

Several boys who had just come off the basketball court stared in disbelief as the figure quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving only a dashing silhouette.

The girls on the roadside, however, had a completely different reaction.

Wow! That guy was so fast!

"Not only is he fast, did you guys even see his face? He's so handsome from the side!"

"I saw it! I saw it! It was just a fleeting glimpse, but it looked so energetic, just my type!" A girl cupped her face in her hands, her eyes already sparkling.

Chen Lin was naturally unaware of all of this.

He was immersed in the exhilarating feeling of speeding along, feeling the wind whistling in his ears and the scenery rushing past him. What would normally be a ten-minute walk took him less than three minutes.

As he made a clean, sudden stop at the cafeteria entrance, he pulled out his phone and checked—

17: 43.

Chen Lin was in a good mood and strolled leisurely up to the third floor.

At this time, there were only two or three people waiting for food at the "Aunt Wang's Stir-fry" stall, and the queue had not yet started.

"Aunt Wang, pack four boxed meals!" Chen Lin called out familiarly.

Aunt Wang, who was tossing the food in the wok, looked up and saw Chen Lin. A warm smile spread across her face: "Oh, Little Chen's here! Bringing lunch for your classmate again today? Don't you even get a break on Sunday?"

"Well, that's business," Chen Lin replied with a smile, quickly scanning the code to pay. "Four portions, one meat and one vegetable, and a small bowl of rice. The portion without spice will be packed separately."

"Okay! Coming right away!"

Aunt Wang quickly packed the stir-fried vegetables into boxes, while Chen Lin stood aside waiting.

Just then, a rich aroma of food wafted into his nostrils, making his stomach rumble.

He then suddenly realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day except for drinking a lot of water since last night.

I didn't notice it before, but now, stimulated by this fragrance:

"Aunt Wang!" Chen Lin said decisively, "Give me another serving, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish!"

"Okay!"

......

The small building of the Mathematics Department still houses the same study room.

When Chen Lin pushed the door open, he found Li Zihan and the two NPCs surrounding Shen Yan, who was modifying a file, probably a modeling report.

Compared to the tense atmosphere yesterday, things suddenly became harmonious today.

Just like when Chen Lin brought them food before, the four of them were chatting and laughing.

Ah, women!

"Chen, you're here!" Li Zihan couldn't wait to greet Chen Lin as he entered carrying a lunchbox.

"The one at the bottom is the one without spice. This time, there's an extra 10 yuan delivery fee for each boxed meal, making it 88 yuan in total. Just transfer it to my WeChat."

Chen Lin didn't care about anything else, put the lunchbox next to Li Zihan, and prepared to go back to the dormitory to eat his own lunchbox.

He was really hungry!

"Chen, did you buy one for yourself too? It's not a short walk back to the dorm, why don't you eat here..."

Shen Yan suddenly spoke, and whether it was Chen Lin's imagination or not, there was a hint of shyness in her.

Li Zihan had just finished transferring the money when she heard Shen Yan say this. She looked at Shen Yan in surprise, then at Chen Lin, and suddenly revealed a meaningful aunt-like smile:

"Chen, this is the first time Yan Yan has invited a boy to dinner. You're not going to refuse, are you?"
