Destroying the apocalypse from infancy

Chapter 3 Unlocks New Talents

Yu Xiu had no chance to react.

He felt a surge of power coursing through his body.

It was as if a raging fire had ignited within him, and powerful energy was being channeled to every corner of his body, surging into the depths of every cell in Yu Xiu's body.

Yu Xiu couldn't see the changes in the cells, but he could clearly feel that his body was undergoing some kind of transformation.

This transformation brought him a tingling, numb pain.

Fortunately, the pain was very mild and within Yu Xiu's tolerance.

Moreover, the transformation is extremely rapid.

The pain completely disappeared in less than half a minute.

"call……"

Yu Xiu let out a long breath and raised his hand to wipe away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Then, he stretched out his arm and examined it carefully.

Yu Xiu was surprised to find that his arms seemed to be a little thicker than before, and he could even vaguely see the outline of muscles!

"Could this be a slight improvement in physical strength?"

Yu Xiu murmured to himself.

Zhou Hua, who was standing next to him, noticed that he had suddenly stopped talking and was instead staring at his arm, so he asked in surprise:

What are you doing?

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu did not answer, but instead said:

"Old Zhou, don't you think I seem a little different than before?"

"What could be different?"

Zhou Hua blurted it out subconsciously.

Immediately, he scanned Yu Xiu from head to toe.

After a brief silence, Zhou Hua stroked his chin and nodded seriously.

"There really is a difference, Lao Yu, you seem to have become even more flamboyant."

Yu Xiu: "..."

I was so stupid, so very stupid...

I should have known better; asking these friends was pointless!

However, based on his current subtle changes, it would be difficult to see them with the naked eye alone.

We'll have to try it out to find out exactly how much it's improved.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiu took off his watch and handed it to Zhou Hua.

"Old Zhou, don't go back to the dorm yet. Help me time myself and see how long it takes me to run 1,000 meters now."

"There's no need for that, Lao Yu. You're only going to last five minutes anyway."

Zhou Hua didn't want to waste time; he was already thinking about what outfit to wear tonight.

Seeing this, Yu Xiu decisively said:

"Will you accept me for breakfast?"

"I'll take it! Whoever reneges on the debt is a son of a bitch!"

Zhou Hua quickly snatched the watch, fearing that Yu Xiu might change his mind.

The two walked down from the stands and came to the track side by side.

Seeing that Yu Xiu had already taken his starting position, Zhou Hua pressed the timing button.

"Ready, go!"

The words had barely left his mouth when Yu Xiu rushed out.

He held nothing back, mobilizing all the power within his body.

When Zhou Hua finished the first lap, he was still somewhat unimpressed.

But by the time Yu Xiu finished his second lap, his expression had changed.

"Oh no! My breakfast!"

Zhou Hua suddenly let out a wail, but Yu Xiu's speed did not slow down as a result.

When Yu Xiu finished the race and returned to the starting point, panting heavily, Zhou Hua was completely dumbfounded.

He looked down and checked the time on his watch again and again, then looked up at Yu Xiu in disbelief.

"Four minutes and forty-three seconds?! Lao Yu, are you serious???"

"It's just so-so, nothing special."

Yu Xiu waved his hand dismissively.

But in reality, he was filled with excitement at that moment.

Just this afternoon, it took him a full five and a half minutes to run 1,000 meters, but now he is almost fifty seconds faster!

The speed of this improvement can only be described as exaggerated.

Moreover, the passing time for the 1,000-meter run in the physical fitness test is four minutes and thirty-two seconds, and Yu Xiu is very close to passing.

Not to mention, at the current rate...

It's likely that Yu Xiu will break the world record for the 1,000 meters very soon.

He might even be able to rush over in the blink of an eye.

Yu Xiu increasingly realized the terrifying nature of the talent of the Eternal Star Physique.

"I wonder if I'll unlock other talents later?"

Yu Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Afterwards, he and Zhou Hua left the playground and headed towards the dormitory building.

Throughout the journey, Zhou Hua kept sighing.

He felt he had been severely betrayed!

It's one thing for Yu Xiu to want to find a girlfriend behind his back, but there's no guarantee that it will actually work out.

But now, Yu Xiu actually has to pass the physical test.

They used to take the retest together as brothers in misfortune, but now that his good friend is suddenly going to get out of trouble, Zhou Hua can't accept it.

But Zhou Hua quickly thought of something else.

Yu Xiu's physical fitness test scores were all in the thirties for the first three years, but whether or not one passes the physical fitness test depends on the overall average score over the four years.

In other words, even if Yu Xiu passes this year, it won't matter; he needs to at least get a good grade to avoid having to retake the test.

A good grade is much harder to achieve than a passing grade.

Take the 1,000-meter race as an example; you must run it in under three minutes and forty-two seconds.

In running, the faster you go, the harder it is to improve.

Improving one minute in a month is clearly beyond the capabilities of someone like Yu Xiu, who is known for his superficial knowledge.

Zhou Hua immediately felt relieved and said with a grin:

"Old Yu, it seems we two brothers still need to do a retest together."

"That's hard to say."

Yu Xiu smiled as well, without offering any further explanation.

The two walked and talked, and soon returned to dormitory 502.

After entering, Yu Xiu took a quick shower, changed into some clean clothes, and prepared to meet Ma Ping and the others at the school gate.

From a distance, he could see Ma Ping and his last roommate, Liu Jianyang, smoking.

Liu Jianyang wore black-rimmed glasses and looked very refined.

He was the only one in the dormitory preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, so he spent all his time studying in the library.

However, he never missed any of the dormitory's daily activities.

When Yu Xiu walked up to the two of them, Ma Ping was telling Liu Jianyang about how he pretended to be training but was actually spying on his junior female students.

Liu Jianyang stubbed out his cigarette, leaned over and nudged Yu Xiu's shoulder, winking as he said:

"Not bad, Lao Yu, you've even resorted to this underhanded tactic, but your excuse is a bit poorly chosen, it has zero credibility. Remember to choose a different one next time."

"I'll take yours!"

Yu Xiu punched Liu Jianyang hard on the shoulder.

He is now powerless to defend himself.

Having lived together for over three years, the group had developed a deep-seated stereotype of Xu Ge.

"Alright, alright, the car I called is almost here. Let's talk more at the restaurant."

Ma Ping waved his hand, interrupting their casual conversation.

A few minutes later, a yellow taxi pulled up to the side of the road.

The four of them got into the car one by one and drove towards a seafood buffet near the school.

This buffet restaurant is not cheap; it offers dishes like Boston lobster and foie gras, and costs over 300 yuan per person.

This price is clearly a luxury for the average student.

But Ma Ping comes from a very wealthy family. As a native of Beijing, he is a true "third-generation beneficiary of land expropriation," so this amount of spending is nothing to him.

After entering the restaurant, the group chose an eight-person table by the window.

Just as I picked up a few Boston lobsters, the freshmen girls that Ma Ping had called arrived.

Since they have just started university, many people's makeup skills are still at a very basic level.

The female students didn't wear heavy makeup; they only had light touches of color, exuding a youthful and vibrant aura.

Liu Jianyang and Zhou Hua's eyes lit up, and they even forgot to eat the lobster.

But Yu Xiu only glanced at it twice before looking away.

He has more than six months until graduation, and he really has no interest in dating.

He's now more interested in whether porpoises count as high-quality food and whether they'll increase his growth rate.

So, for most of the meal, Yu Xiu sat in a corner, engrossed in eating lobster.

Zhou Hua and Liu Jianyang were completely different; both of them had already chatted enthusiastically with their female classmates and had exchanged contact information.

Seeing that Yu Xiu wasn't taking any initiative, Ma Ping immediately chimed in to help:

"Old Yu, why are you so quiet today? Are you shy because you saw the junior girls?"

He made a joke to Yu Xiu to lighten the mood, and then continued:

"Let me give you a special introduction. The person across from you was on the school's track and field team in high school, and he's also a member of our sports department who's already been selected for this year's freshmen."

Aren't you preparing for your physical fitness test recently? We can ask Tian, ​​your junior, to train with you more often.

As he said this, Ma Ping frantically winked at Yu Xiu.

Yu Xiu looked up and saw a sunny-looking girl sitting opposite him, wearing a blue and white striped short-sleeved shirt and with two long ponytails at the back of her head.

The girl, named Tian Xiaoxiao, nodded to Yu Xiu and said with a smile:

"Hello, Senior Yu Xiu."

"Hello there."

Yu Xiu gave a brief reply.

Afterwards, he ate lobster while chatting casually with Tian Xiaoxiao.

Although Yu Xiu has no interest in dating, it doesn't mean he's bad at socializing.

Not to mention, the topics for conversation are readily available.

Yu Xiu chatted with Tian Xiaoxiao about her high school track and field team, and also asked her about running power generation techniques and starting posture.

Tian Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard of Brother Xu's reputation, and she didn't hold back at all in this regard.

"Actually, if you want to improve your performance quickly, you still need to develop a targeted training plan based on your individual situation. Senior Yu Xiu, how long can you run 1000 meters now?"

"I just took the test this afternoon, and it came out to 4 points and 43," Yu Xiu replied.

Upon hearing this time, Tian Xiaoxiao was immediately stunned, and said in a surprised tone:

"Four minutes and forty-three seconds?"

Clearly, she knew Yu Xiu was weak, but she hadn't expected him to be this weak.

She was able to run this fast when she was just starting junior high school.

However, Tian Xiaoxiao did not say anything to hurt Yu Xiu.

She simply shook her head slightly, indicating tactfully:

"Then a regular training plan will probably be ineffective. I suggest you develop a long-term plan that lasts for six months."

The implication of this statement is clearly that it would be more realistic to have Yu Xiu prepare for the make-up test.

Yu Xiu naturally understood, but he didn't say anything, casually brushing off the topic and turning to chat with Tian Xiaoxiao about other things.

Time flew by, and soon it was nine o'clock at night.

Yu Xiu originally wanted to eat a few more Boston lobsters, hoping to get his money's worth.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a big eater like Zhou Hua; his stomach was simply too full, so he could only finish with a beverage.

Just as Yu Xiu put down the cup, a notification suddenly flashed in front of his pupils.

You've had a poor-quality meal...

[Current growth rate: 0.007%, about to enter infancy]

Upon seeing the prompt before him, Yu Xiu was speechless.

"The Boston lobster is still eating poor-quality food..."

He murmured to himself.

But before the thought could even settle, a new prompt appeared in front of Yu Xiu's pupils.

[Unlocked basic talent: Black Hole-level digestion]
