Rebirth 08: A Happy Life Begins in Elementary School

Chapter 130 Energy Boost

Realizing what was happening, Li Zhao slammed his hand on the table and tried to jump up, but his knee hit the drawer, causing him to cry out in pain.

But clearly, the excitement in his heart suppressed the pain, and he quickly calmed down again.

So that's what the level 2 reward means!

Li Zhao reflected on his writing experience that afternoon.

Two words: dedication; one word: exhaustion.

Creating a world and weaving the lives of some people is a considerable burden for Li Zhao, who is about to enter junior high school.

He still uses an immersive writing style, thinking what the characters in the play think and what the characters he writes think, so that the development of the story is both dramatic and logical.

At first it was fine, but when he wrote five or six thousand words, he started yawning almost non-stop.

I'm very dedicated, but my mind doesn't cooperate. I often drift off into thought, so much so that I have to go back and check after writing just a few hundred words.

The feelings are exactly the same as when I wrote the 8,000-word essay on the seven major issues.

My brain isn't big enough.

And it's quite obvious that they don't have enough because they're so young.

Li Zhao had thought about this issue before, and once felt that the difference between some true geniuses and ordinary people was their exaggerated energy.

They can maintain a high level of concentration for a long time, and when they sleep, they get a high-quality rest, waking up refreshed and ready to continue their work.

Many of the leaders and industry leaders that Li Zhao knew in his previous life also had this trait.

I had several meetings the day before, but I could still continue my research when I got home. I was in my fifties and didn't put down my pen until almost midnight, but I was able to get to the company to work at seven o'clock the next day.

It's not that they don't need rest, but they can squeeze in a nap during the short half-hour intervals between meetings. Twenty minutes is neither too long nor too short, enough to recharge for the next meeting.

Li Zhao is not that kind of person. He suffers from severe internal exhaustion. He can go all out for a period of time, but once he's done, he needs to rest properly. If he's not careful, he'll overexert himself and health problems will follow.

Therefore, having been reborn back to his elementary school days, he carries over thirty years of life memories in his mind, resulting in a greater burden and a lower base stat.

A lack of energy became a hidden problem for him in his work.

However, it's more than enough to handle elementary school exams, so I don't think it's a serious problem.

I wrote a novel and played ball all day today, and with the added physical fatigue, my energy deficit was particularly noticeable.

Then, when the happiness level reaches exactly 30, the system kicks in.

It truly lives up to its name as a wish-granting machine.

However, this content is too vague and lacks any quantification.

【exchange】

Regardless of whether it's quantified or not, there's no reason not to change it.

With his happiness level suddenly dropping to just 1 point, Li Zhao's brain, which had been so tired that he desperately wanted to sleep, instantly became alert.

The drowsiness hadn't dissipated, but my mind was still sharp.

The idea for the story, which had already been put on hold, suddenly became restless again.

It's like taking some kind of stimulant.

interesting.

Li Zhao stretched his body a few times, but found that the fatigue in his body had not disappeared.

So Li Zhao, without even going home to tell his parents that he had prepared a big meal, continued to throw himself into creating the world of his novel.

He wanted to see exactly where this increase in the upper limit went.

After writing more than three thousand words, Li Zhao once again felt a sense of mental fog. Without Zhou Xiaoyun urging him, he walked out of the room on his own.

I'm hungry, really hungry.

Forget about a big meal, even if Zhou Xiaoyun were to cook his least favorite unsalted pork rib soup right now, Li Zhao could probably drink three big bowls of it.

After finishing his meal and taking a shower, Li Zhao sat on the wooden sofa in the living room watching TV, but his thoughts were entirely focused on improving his energy.

Judging from the results, the upper limit has definitely increased, adding about an hour of battery life from a full afternoon of sprinting.

However, it cannot be quantified in this way, because most of the afternoon was spent brainstorming ideas, and after redeeming the rewards, Li Zhao was purely focused on delivering the storyline.

Overall, it's roughly an increase of 1.2 times?

If the peak of my energy output remains unchanged, perhaps spending another afternoon writing tomorrow will allow me to make a better judgment.

Conclusion: He did not become Superman.

Li Zhao was amused by his own thoughts.

Seriously, do you really expect to turn yourself into a monster by redeeming rewards?

The system had already informed Li Zhao about his location assistance.

For example, if Li Zhao can continue to invest highly in and allocate his energy reasonably, he can truly achieve the effect of "raising the ceiling". However, if he slacks off later and does not make progress in a few years, he may not even be as good as in his previous life.

But no matter what, improved energy is a great thing. If you can improve once, you can improve a second time. Even if you can't become a superman, you can exchange for more rewards and improve in all aspects. It would be good to become a true genius.

That night, Li Zhao slept very peacefully and comfortably.

So much so that I had the laziest sleep since my rebirth—sleeping straight until 10:40 in the morning.

The sun is already high in the sky.

Li Zhao was slightly groggy after waking up. He opened the window to feel the glaring sunlight, then closed his eyes to bask in the heat, listening to the slightly noisy hawking outside.

What a wonderful day.

Before learning ball skills with He Shuyao, Li Zhao had been focusing all his attention on novels for the past few days.

When I first started writing, the pleasure of writing was simply overwhelming.

Even the author himself is very concerned about the fate of the characters he creates.

Sometimes, he would even write down a subtle dialogue between Li Ziyang and He Qianxia, ​​and then find himself smiling to himself.

"This is so delicious!"

That's what he thought.

Moreover, as the story progresses, the male and female protagonists' personalities become more complete, and some of their actions are no longer entirely under the author's control.

From the perspective of plot development, the author hopes that the male protagonist will do something here, but based on the male protagonist's character as portrayed, he will definitely not do anything here.

Li Zhao was thus caught in a dilemma, as the plot arrangement and character development contradicted each other, which made him think for a long time.

And ultimately decided to use this as a starting point to find papers to study.

It just so happened that the novel Wu Weisong had given him last time also had this problem, so Li Zhao went directly to him.

Wu Weisong was writing a new science fiction novel when he was delighted to see Li Zhao take the initiative to discuss writing with him. After chatting for a few minutes, he quietly closed the Word window.

Isn't this difference too big?

Wu Weisong had never felt the problem Li Zhao mentioned before, but after Li Zhao put it that way, looking back, it was indeed the most troublesome problem in the writing process.

The character shouldn't have done that, but did it to serve the plot, causing confusion and disorientation among many characters in a certain scene.

The story immediately shifted from "the fate of the characters" to "a conversation between the author and the reader".

Just as Wu Weisong had a sudden realization and a moment of enlightenment, Li Zhao had already begun to ponder "how to do it," and brought up the story of Flaubert's weeping Madame Bovary.

[So that's why authors can't control the life or death of their characters]

Li Zhao sent a message.

In the end, Wu Weisong temporarily put aside his literary dream and began to help Li Zhao search for relevant papers to see if he could use mathematical thinking to summarize the key points.

A science genius who loves the humanities would find it a waste to pursue the humanities, while pure science would be painful; the combination of the humanities and sciences is his true domain.

This can be considered as exploring the correct path in advance.

In just five days, Li Zhao had already written 50,000 words.

This is nothing for online novels, but for youth campus novels, the progress is undeniably fast.

At this rate, I might not only finish one book by summer vacation, but I'm also likely to be able to write a sequel.

Of course, Li Zhao values ​​quality over quantity, and it's possible that he will make sweeping revisions or even start over later.

The second badminton training session is at 3 PM.

Because He Shuyao had been traveling long distances the day before, she couldn't get up in the morning.

So Li Zhao could just wrap up the first volume. His characters Li Ziyang and He Qianxia, ​​having become a mixed doubles pair, developed all sorts of subtle feelings under the influence of adolescent hormones.

They tested each other, misunderstandings arose, friction broke out, and minor squabbles ensued until the high school entrance exam.

Faced with a difficult choice, both of them had excellent grades, but Li Ziyang wanted to go to a prestigious high school in the provincial capital, while He Qianxia's family wanted her to stay in a third-tier city.

Code.

That's a classic example.

But Li Zhao didn't think so. He found it fascinating and believed that readers would definitely love this kind of contradiction.

—That's why people say their own children are always the most pleasing to the eye.

When Li Zhao arrived at the badminton court with Chen Nian, his mind was still full of his novel.

In his vision, He Qianxia is a petite girl who, on the surface, seems to have nothing to do with being an athlete, but in reality, she is very athletic and possesses a strong sense of healthy beauty.

It can be considered Li Zhao's imagination of his ideal partner.

But that's just wishful thinking. Where can you find a girl who is good-looking, academically excellent, and athletically gifted?

He Shuyao doesn't like sports.

The first scene he wrote about the male and female protagonists' first encounter was at a badminton hall. The female protagonist had her hair tied in a high ponytail, exuding youthful energy. After exercising, her hair was plastered to her face, and her skin was fair and radiant. She stood by the sidelines drinking, with a perfect figure.

She looks exactly like He Shuyao in front of her.

Li Zhao blinked.
