After the darkness!

Lin Yijue pulled out a chair and sat down.

On the other side was Lin Xiaofei.

Today she was dressed in a black tracksuit, her hair tied back in a bun, revealing her already thin face without any makeup.

It must be said that this outfit, coupled with her facial features, which are more defined than those of ordinary people and are similar to the original owner, makes her look very capable and refreshing.

It makes a very good first impression.

He glanced at the other person, wondering whether he should tell them what had happened yesterday and ask for their opinion, but subconsciously he told himself that it was best not to let anyone know about this for the time being.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat, or you'll be late again." Just then, Song Huiling, the mother, urged as she passed by.

Lin Yijue nodded.

Today's breakfast was quite lavish, perhaps because Lin Xiaofei was back.

There were four dishes in total.

The main dishes were black rice and algae porridge, a large piece of steamed pumpkin, a dish of spicy and sour algae strips, and steamed meat buns.

Speaking of this, Lin Yijue was actually a little hungry, so he picked up a steamed bun and ate it with the porridge.

He just didn't know if it was due to the influence of the phagocytic body, but he didn't have much of an appetite for the foods he used to love.

Even his favorite spicy and sour seaweed strips, which were similar to the best porridge side dish of spicy and sour radish strips in his previous life, tasted bland and tasteless at this moment.

His expression remained unchanged; he simply ate as usual to replenish his energy.

"By the way, what time did you get back last night? Why weren't you home by 11 pm? Xiaofei asked someone at your school, and they said classes end at 6 pm. Where did you go? Also, your second uncle was asking us for your grades yesterday. He said they're hiring caretakers for the high-standard farmland and want to send your file there to see if you can be selected. It's a great opportunity. Although you're only allowed one day off a month, it's in the city, and they even provide a temporary residence permit..."

Mother Song Huiling came out of the kitchen, took off her apron and sat down, chattering on and on.

Lin Yijue did not refute, but simply nodded and replied that he understood, and continued eating his breakfast.

As for returning home late last night, he made up the excuse of going to play with Lin Xu.

Because the original owner of this body couldn't lie, her mother easily believed her.

"I'm done eating. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow to Chundu Base City. It'll take about half a month. Call me if anything comes up." Lin Xiaofei wiped her mouth, stood up, and said this.

"Okay, Xiaofei, please be careful while you're out..."

Song Huiling gave her instructions.

Even Lin Yunming, the father who usually doesn't speak at the dinner table, shared some of his experiences from traveling.

For example, tips for identifying the Kuroshio Current outside the high walls, and some characteristics of the Chundu base city, etc.

He read all of this in the newspaper.

However, Lin Xiaofei didn't say much. She just nodded, picked up her briefcase, put on her shoes, and went out.

The house fell silent immediately.

Lin Yijue ate a quick meal and then prepared to go out.

Just as he was about to leave the table, his father, Lin Yunming, called him back.

"How have you been lately? Your second uncle has put in some connections, so you'd better put in the effort, get good grades, and increase your chances of getting into the system. This is a matter of your whole life, so you can't be careless," Lin Yunming said earnestly.

"It's alright, there's been progress," Lin Yijue replied.

He wasn't lying. A rough estimate showed that, although he hadn't studied for long, thanks to his superior exam skills from his previous life, his total score was now in about a third of the class.

In addition, the physical education exam scores are definitely not low now, so you should be able to choose any vocational school without worrying about being assigned to a school outside the third ring road.

Even a real college degree isn't entirely out of reach.

However, because of his current body-devouring ability and talent tree, he doesn't pay much attention to the latter anymore.

"That's good." Lin Yunming rarely didn't criticize him. "This period is crucial. Don't give up until the very last moment. Some things, as long as you've tried your best, are meaningful even if you fail."

He offered a motivational speech, then pulled a wad of cash from his bag and pushed it in front of Lin Yijue.

"This is your living expenses for this week. Keep the extra for yourself."

Lin Yijue glanced at it and saw a thousand yuan. He wondered if this was compensation for refusing to let him attend tutoring classes last time.

"Okay, thank you, Dad." He nodded earnestly.

He didn't say anything more.

After finishing his meal, he tidied up and went out to class.

It was another day of academic classes.

As the college entrance examination approaches, the weight of academic subjects is increasing, since for most students, passing the exam ultimately depends on their academic performance.

Of course, the subsequent courses are quite flexible, and it is easy to get leave approved.

For example, in the morning class, a quarter of the students were already absent.

Some of them are top students. Whether they need to train their physical fitness or study academic subjects, they have their own plans.

Many others simply give up, choosing to skip class to play video games or billiards.

Lin Yijue attended his morning classes and had lunch, but finding it all rather boring, he took leave and headed to the club.

There are no classes today, but members are free to train as they wish.

Surprisingly, quite a few students from their class were already there at this time.

Some of them were practicing with sandbags, while others were already practicing one-on-one.

Lin Yijue stepped forward, gave a brief greeting to the group, and then changed into his gear and began practicing his boxing.

Thanks to yesterday's life-or-death battle, Yun Sheng's boxing skills have now reached 76% of the minor level, making him full of expectations for the major level.

He couldn't wait to level up and see how powerful his boxing skills would be after reaching the peak, and how much energy points he could accumulate in his talent tree.

After changing his gear, Lin Yijue warmed up briefly and prepared to start practicing his boxing.

Just then, a clear and pleasant female voice rang out beside me.

A little girl with a mushroom haircut, also from their training class, whose name I think was Wang Min, said somewhat shyly, "You're here for training too? Should we...?"

She nervously twisted her hands together, seemingly conflicted, but stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Lin Yijue seemed to be testing her punches; just as she spoke, her opponent threw a punch.

His right fist struck the sandbag swiftly and powerfully.

This punch was incredibly fast and short, yet it contained immense power. The sandbag was sent flying high into the air, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

The chains rattled and clanged in the air.

"Did you need something?" Lin Yijue reached out and stopped the sandbag from falling back down, then turned around and asked.

She forced a stiff smile. "I was just passing by and wanted to say hello!"

After saying that, she turned and left, pretending to be calm, but as soon as she turned her head, her face was filled with doubt and shock.

"How is this possible..." Wang Min exclaimed inwardly. During yesterday's training, Lin Yijue's strength and technique were about the same as hers.

How could there be such a huge difference after only one day?

As she walked, she couldn't help but turn back, watching Lin Yijue relentlessly throw jabs, hooks, and uppercuts with a series of resounding thuds, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could that seemingly ordinary jab possess such power?
