Destroying the apocalypse from infancy

The moment the notification flashed before his eyes, a familiar warmth immediately flooded into Yu Xiu's mind.

Unlike before, Yu Xiu did not feel a cool sensation this time; instead, it felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

An invisible, warm spring nourished his spirit and rapidly enhanced his various sensory abilities.

This feeling was so comfortable that Yu Xiu unconsciously closed his eyes.

Unfortunately, the warm current dissipated in no time.

Yu Xiu opened his eyes again and instantly felt that his vision was clearer than ever before.

His bed was on the side closest to the door, but now he could see every detail of the balcony curtains.

The stitches along the edge of the curtain, the slightly raised threads, the tiny hairs my roommate accidentally dropped onto it...

These are things that ordinary people need to get extremely close to see.

At this moment, everything seemed to be magnified countless times in Yu Xiu's eyes.

This is an amazing change.

But in addition to his eyesight, Yu Xiu's hearing has also improved significantly.

He can now hear not only the sounds from the neighboring dormitories, but also various subtle sounds from upstairs and downstairs. His hearing range covers almost half of the dormitory building.

However, this also placed some burden on Yu Xiu.

The building is inhabited by graduating seniors from various colleges. They don't usually have many classes to attend, so they mostly stay in their dorm rooms after getting up.

They're either scrolling through short videos or playing games together.

A barrage of noise rushed into Yu Xiu's ears, making it difficult for him to adjust for a moment.

He felt a bit dazed, as if his information processor was completely overloaded.

It took Yu Xiu a good ten minutes to gradually get used to this state.

Furthermore, he developed a special ability without any formal instruction.

His brain can quickly filter out useless and messy information, and accurately find the content that Yu Xiu wants to actively investigate and find out.

"Could this be the mental strength mentioned in the talent description?"

Yu Xiu looked suspicious and unconsciously raised an eyebrow.

There is a big difference between the mind and the body.

Changes in physical health are readily apparent, but improvements in mental well-being are much harder to perceive directly.

This has always been a mysterious area that modern science has been trying to explore with great effort...

After a brief moment of thought, Yu Xiu rolled out of bed, picked up his toothbrush, squeezed out the toothpaste, and went into the bathroom.

He couldn't figure it out either, so he simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Anyway, as his talent continues to upgrade and advance, he will figure everything out sooner or later.

After a quick wash, Yu Xiu and Zhou Hua left the dormitory together.

The two had breakfast in the cafeteria, and then Yu Xiu went to the playground alone.

Zhou Hua hasn't run since the day before yesterday.

The stimulus Yu Xiu caused him only motivated him to work hard for two days.

Yu Xiu was not surprised at all by Zhou Hua's performance.

He still remembers when he first started college, Zhou Hua told them that he was determined to lose weight and even bought a scale for it.

However, he only used that scale three times before throwing it into the cabinet to gather dust.

Later, at the beginning of each semester, Zhou Hua would say the same thing, but the longest record was only one week.

Ma Ping and Liu Jianyang often joked with him that if the lightning tribulations in fantasy novels really existed, Zhou Hua would probably have to install hundreds of lightning rods on the roof of the dormitory building.

What truly surprised Yu Xiu was...

When he arrived at the playground, he was surprised to find that there were many more people there than the day before.

Yu Xiu glanced around and saw at least a hundred people standing or squatting in the shady spots in various corners of the playground.

These people weren't doing anything productive; they were just sitting there chatting and playing on their phones.

Yu Xiu asked a few classmates he knew well in the same department, and that's when he found out that they were all there to wait for the hidden martial arts master on the playground.

Clearly, Ma Ping and the others were not alone in having the same idea of ​​becoming apprentices.

Yu Xiu was speechless for a moment.

Let's not even talk about the fact that there are no hidden masters at all.

Even if there really is a master, they would be out of their mind to continue showing off their skills on the playground after seeing how crazy they are to camp out there.

This made Yu Xiu realize even more that choosing to conceal his identity was absolutely the right choice.

After casually dismissing those classmates, Yu Xiu shook his head slightly, then walked to the edge of the track to prepare to work on his growth rate, hoping to upgrade his Star-level physique as soon as possible.

He already conducted the experiment last night.

Killing ordinary mosquitoes doesn't count as hunting; for now, he can only continue sunbathing.

Time flies by unnoticed.

It was afternoon soon.

Compared to when Yu Xiu first arrived, there are now far fewer people on the playground.

Actually, many people left during lunchtime.

This situation is perfectly normal.

After all, most people are just here to join in the fun.

It's human nature to join in the fun.

Just like now, when an ordinary person suddenly becomes popular online, it immediately attracts a large number of people who travel from afar to watch.

But over time, the number of people will only decrease until they eventually return to normal.

Yu Xiu suddenly felt a pang of emotion, but he quickly composed himself and focused his attention back on the present moment.

You have completed a highly efficient energy absorption...

[Growth rate has increased slightly...]

[Current growth rate: 0.072%, about to enter infancy]

The illusory words flashed by, and a surge of warmth immediately spread throughout the body.

Yu Xiu's muscle strength began to increase subtly, while his skin became increasingly tough and his bones grew heavier...

Feeling the changes inside his body, Yu Xiu couldn't help but smile.

He then walked away from the playground and headed straight for his dormitory.

According to Yu Xiu's usual routine, he should actually be eating in the cafeteria at this time.

But half an hour ago, Ma Ping suddenly sent him a message saying that he might go out for dinner that night.

There were no female students at this dinner party; it was just the four of us from room 502.

As the dormitory head, Ma Ping often organizes such activities, so their dormitory has a much better atmosphere and relationships than other dormitories.

When Yu Xiu returned to the dormitory, Liu Jianyang had also returned from the library ahead of time.

He was huddled with Ma Ping, figuring out which restaurant to go to that night, while Zhou Hua was in the bathroom.

"I still think this newly opened barbecue restaurant is better. The online reviews are pretty good, and there's an internet cafe nearby, so we can go there to use the computers after we finish eating."

Ma Ping sat cross-legged, holding up his phone and smiling as he spoke.

But Liu Jianyang, who was sitting next to him, hesitated slightly.

"Maybe we should try another place. I see this barbecue restaurant is on Phoenix Avenue. Didn't someone go missing near that street the other night?"

"Hmm? Those missing persons cases still haven't been solved?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Ping was slightly taken aback and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Of course not, it's just that there are far fewer messages online now, so you'll have a hard time finding them unless you're specifically looking for them."

Liu Jianyang shook his head and said, then looked up at Yu Xiu, who had just returned, and asked:

"Old Yu, what's your opinion? Do you want to eat barbecue or go somewhere else?"

"Well..."

Yu Xiu stroked his chin, looking at the two of them, and slowly said:

"The barbecue restaurant that Lao Ma recommends is definitely good, but Lao Liu, what you said is something we should also consider."

"That's it???"

Liu Jianyang stared blankly at Yu Xiu, his face already half black with anger.

It was truly like hearing your words were a profound and meaningful conversation…

"What can you possibly get out of Lao Yu? His indecisiveness isn't a new thing."

Ma Ping put away his phone, stood up, and said:

"If you ask me, it's settled then. We'll go to Phoenix Avenue for barbecue tonight!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the people present.

"The combined fighting strength of the few of us is three and a half. If something really happens, it's obviously others who should be afraid."

"Why three and a half?"

Liu Jianyang didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"You, me, and Lao Zhou count as three. Lao Yu, a top-tier fake brother, is not very useful in a fight, so he can only count as half."

Ma Ping explained with a grin.

Yu Xiu: "..."

At that moment, he suddenly wanted to test his strength on Ma Ping again.

But Ma Ping didn't give him that chance.

Noticing something amiss in Yu Xiu's eyes, he quickly called out:

"Hurry up and change your clothes, I'm about to call a taxi. Same as usual tonight, it's on me!"

"You're treating? Are you sure?"

Zhou Hua, who had just come out of the restroom, was immediately taken aback when he heard this.

He flicked the water off his still-wet hands and said with a strange expression:

"That barbecue restaurant isn't an all-you-can-eat place. Are you really not afraid that Lao Yu will eat you out of house and home?"

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Ma Ping turned his head to examine Yu Xiu's figure, his tone full of doubt.

That morning, after Zhou Hua treated Yu Xiu to breakfast, he told the two of them about Yu Xiu's terrifying appetite.

But Ma Ping and Liu Jianyang didn't believe it, thinking Zhou Hua was definitely joking.

Even if Yu Xiuzhen's appetite increases, how much more can it increase?

"It's okay, I still have a lot of living expenses left this month anyway, Lao Yu, just eat as much as you want, I don't believe you can really eat me out of house and home."

Ma Ping waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"You'll definitely regret it."

Zhou Hua looked at Ma Ping with pity.
