I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

"I thought I had been reborn, but I didn't expect I had just woken up." Chen Mu opened his sleepy eyes.

The words that came into view were enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"100 days until the college entrance exam!"

"Sigh." Chen Mu sighed.

"Dude, why are you sighing? Rebirth is hard, but starting over is easy! In just 100 days we can play ARAM all night long, Hextech is going to be awesome!" Roommate Huang Zhong chuckled.

"This is your game's countdown, but it's my life's countdown. I'm thinking about which factory will have the most girls when the time comes," Chen Mu said.

Both of them were poor students; Chen Mu was second to last, and Huang Zhong was last.

However, Huang Zhong's family is well-off. Even though he only graduated from a junior college, his family has prepared three cold apartments for him in this city and an even colder seven-figure sum in his bank account.

With his parents working away from home, all that's left for him are two elderly people without pensions, plus a rented room that he has to pay every month.

Chen Mu was among the top three in his class during junior high school, but during the summer vacation, he fell ill and was diagnosed with a rare disease, namely the well-known ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

The thought that he would become Stephen Hawking in a dozen years suddenly robbed Chen Mu of his motivation to study. He spent his days reading novels and playing games, enjoying his limited life.

In other words, they transformed from a long-lived species with a very long expected lifespan into a short-lived species, preparing to live out their lives happily and brilliantly.

So for the past three years, I've been making money by writing novels and playing games for others every day. My novels aren't doing well, but I get 1000 yuan a month for perfect attendance. When I stay up all night, I also do some game boosting. That's enough to cover my living expenses each month, at least I don't have to add to my family's burden.

But when I see the countdown, it feels like my life is about to end. Can't I leave some kind of mark on this world?

Chen Mu thought for a moment, then picked up his book and began to concentrate on the lesson!

"I'm going to study hard and make a comeback in the last hundred days!" Chen Mu said to his deskmate Huang Zhong.

Three seconds later...

"What is the teacher babbling on about? Why doesn't he just give me two hundred yuan and cook two more dishes?" Chen Mu was defeated. He had been slacking off for years, spending his days playing online games and reading web novels. He couldn't understand anything anymore, and his eyesight had deteriorated to the point of nearsightedness. He was too lazy to get glasses, so he sat in the back row and had to squint to see the blackboard.

"Fast forward to the 'Don't Laugh' challenge." Huang Zhong chuckled, preparing to lie down on the table for a nap. Last night's all-nighter had left him exhausted, and math class was the best lullaby.

Forget it, not every person with ALS is a genius. I should just enjoy myself and go play Hextech ARAM all night after school.

If you play a very rigid and methodical Jessie, even depression can be cured.

Just as Chen Mu was thinking about tonight's battle, three cards suddenly appeared faintly in front of him.

"Hmm?" Rubbing his eyes, Chen Mu wondered, "Have I been overusing my eyes lately?"

However, the cards became clearer, and the last three cards were flipped over at the same time!

"Hextech Life is now activated. Please select your starting Hextech!" A cold, mechanical female voice rang clearly in my ears.

Suppressing the urge to scream, Chen Mu took three deep breaths to calm his wildly beating heart!

Life countdown? x

The countdown to a comeback has begun! √

There's always a way out!

ALS is a recognized incurable disease. Whether it's Stephen Hawking or a shareholder of JD.com, they are people who have both money and connections.

However, there is no cure for ALS. Chen Mu, who often reads online novels, understands that only a supernatural being could possibly save his life!

I can't just give up like this!

I must survive, hee hee!

The flame of hope for survival burned brightly in Chen Mu's eyes, and he began to carefully examine the three cards in front of him.

The cards are silver with delicate patterns around them. Let's look at the leftmost card first.

"War Treasure: Kill an enemy and randomly obtain loot."

"....."

Who is this enemy?

Are mosquitoes my enemies? If so, then I'm invincible!

Obviously, the probability of this bug is not high.

"If only I could travel back to the War of Resistance against Japan and smoke this, I could probably become a general," Chen Mu thought, then passed.

If you choose this option, you should be prepared to become a mercenary in Africa. However, in this peaceful era, it is safer to stay in China.

Next!

"Glass Cannon: Lose 30% of health, increase strength by 30%".

"What the heck is this 30% health loss? Am I going to become weaker, or will I be easier to kill?" Chen Mu started scratching his head. These Hextech weapons aren't very useful in peacetime.

Even 30% of my strength won't turn me into a strongman. If it were speed, that would be great. I can run 100 meters in about 12 seconds. If I could increase that by 20%, I'd become a national-level athlete.

However, strength becomes less useful. The stronger you are, the more worthwhile it is. For example, if someone who can bench press 300 kilograms increases their strength by 30%, they will become 390 kilograms and be ready to challenge the world record.

But I struggled to even reach 50 kilograms, and even at 65, I was still a complete novice.

The last one!

"Qualitative Change: Randomly obtain a Gold-tier Hextech!"

Going all in is a sign of wisdom!

It's obvious that what we're seeing now is a Silver-tier Hextech, and the effect is already amazing. We can't even imagine what it would be like at the Gold tier.

Since it's a superpower, there's no such thing as a useless one. It's just a matter of whether you can find a way to use it. These two Hextech are too weak, so I guess I'll just have to become a gambler!

"Qualitative Change: The Golden Stage!"

"The nature of the situation has changed: it's a hostile takeover!"

"Malicious acquisition: Collect other people's negative emotions. Each point of negative emotion can be exchanged for one minute of sleep time. Sixty points can mean one hour without sleep."

"Oh?" Chen Mu watched the qualitative change with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, making countless assumptions in the few seconds he waited.

I even fantasized about being transported to another world or becoming a magical girl. This kind of gambling feeling is truly intense.

And this one, from the current perspective, is still very good.

If you can absorb other people's negative emotions, you won't need to sleep. That's like having a second life, if you develop ALS in twenty years.

That means I'll essentially live ten more years, so this is a good deal.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained your first Hextech. Collect 100 negative emotions and unlock Body Tempering immediately."

Body Tempering: 10,000 yuan grants a random Body Tempering Fragment. This fragment can enhance a specific body attribute. The price doubles with each subsequent Body Tempering attempt, and there is a one-month interval between each attempt.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!" Chen Mu was already feeling resentful. If he had known he could train his body, he would have directly built the Glass Cannon and become Tyson by combining it with body training.

Can you withstand the force of my punch, which is 100,000 jin? Of course, the problem is that someone else might be sent to the ICU by a punch of 50 kilograms.

However, the hostile takeover of the Gold Rank is also very good. If I can stay awake and combine it with body training, is it possible to challenge the college entrance examination comeback in 100 days?
