My skill tree increases every day.

On Sunday morning, Lin Yu returned to his old, dilapidated apartment, covered in sweat, ending his morning run.

After a full week, Lin Yu could finally feel a slight improvement in his physical strength.

very nice.

Running a kilometer used to feel like it was going to kill him.

Now I can run at least 1200 meters before I feel like I'm about to die!

Lin Yu took a bath and changed his clothes. He placed a small table in the southeast corner of the room and put some fruit on it.

Bow three times in sincere devotion.

There was nothing like a high altar, incense, or yellow paper.

I was caught off guard and don't know what Your Majesty likes. If you have any needs, please tell me in a dream!

May the Goddess bless you!

Please bless me so that I can draw a useful memory tomorrow!

After waking up, Lin Yu hesitated for zero seconds before choosing to believe in the power of the gods.

This is a real god who has performed miracles!

It's worth it to offer a prayer!

After finishing his prayers for the day, Lin Yu prepared to go out to meet Senior Sister Li Mai.

Lin Yu didn't need to take much with him today. He only brought a digital camera, a voice recorder, a notebook, and a pen—simple recording tools—before leaving the room.

At 7:30, Lin Yu arrived at the subway entrance at the school gate on time to meet with senior student Li Mai.

As expected, the senior student was already waiting for Lin Yu at the subway entrance.

Lin Yu realized that he always seemed to be a step too late when he came out, making the girl wait for him. But he was always on time!

Can't you guys have any sense of contractual obligation, whether you're early or late?

None of this can be considered keeping a contract!

This is not good and should be changed in the future.

Li Mai was dressed appropriately for the day. She wore a simple plain white T-shirt paired with loose light blue jeans.

The loose T-shirt could hardly conceal her full and proud curves.

Her hair still hung straight down to her waist, and she wore thin-rimmed glasses under her bangs.

Li Mai was carrying a white canvas bag and a plastic bag in her hand.

"Senior, you're here so early!"

Lin Yu tried his best to appear somewhat embarrassed, even though he arrived at the agreed time.

But he was the one who arrived late.

"You're right on time. I'm used to arriving early," she said, handing me the plastic bag. "Have you had breakfast? I bought you some too."

"Senior, you're being too polite..." Lin Yu was genuinely embarrassed now.

"It was just a small favor." Li Mai pushed up her glasses and handed the plastic bag to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took the bag, which contained meat buns and sweet potatoes from the school cafeteria, as well as a bag of soy milk.

They were still warm.

"I didn't know your taste, so I bought the same one as me. I think you can accept it."

This senior seems to really like sweet potatoes; I think she ate one last time I saw her.

In Lin Yu's hometown, both sweet potatoes and white potatoes are called "digua" (地瓜).

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Although he had already eaten breakfast, Lin Yu could never refuse a free meal.

Lin Yu is just used to taking advantage of small things.

Moreover, Lin Yu found it really hard to refuse Senior Sister Li Mai's enthusiastic invitation.

It's definitely not because she's beautiful and has a great figure that I can't resist!

But speaking of which, does eating sweet potatoes regularly actually have that kind of effect?

Lin Yu's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to certain areas with strong gravitational pull.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, something with enough mass can even distort light.

If that's the case, Ruan Yunxian should eat more. Although she doesn't know if she'll have enough time.

Otherwise, her child will definitely cry later.

Lin Yu used his strong willpower to control his vision.

Sure enough, Senior Sister Li Mai will definitely be a good mother in the future.

Lin Yu failed.

Lin Yu quickly looked away and took a big bite of the meat bun in his hand.

The school's steamed buns were of average quality; they weren't very meaty, didn't have much juice, and the dough wasn't properly risen. However, they were made with high-quality ingredients, and the filling inside was like a large meatball.

Since eating is not allowed on the subway, Lin Yu chose to finish his food as quickly as possible before boarding.

Lin Yu quickly finished the free breakfast by swallowing Li Mai's meat bun whole.

The two scanned the code and entered the subway. Although it was the morning rush hour, it was Sunday after all, so there weren't many people on the subway, and there were even empty seats.

Lin Yu sat down next to Li Mai, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Mai take a hard-shell folder out of her canvas bag.

Lin Yu took it, opened it, and saw a neat stack of A4 papers with several forms printed on them.

I reached out and picked up the stack of A4 paper, which I squeezed together; there were probably more than ten sheets.

"Our work today will roughly follow the instructions on this document."

Li Mai reached out and flipped through the pages, pointing to the forms on the paper.

"I've made a simple plan and a few forms. Let's try to fill them out today."

"Is there anything else you'd like to add? I have some blank paper here; you can add anything at any time."

"Senior, did you do all of this within the last week?"

Lin Yu looked at the stack of forms in his hand, somewhat surprised.

Are you really that serious?

"I did it last night," Li Mai nodded, "and printed it this morning. That's why I'm a little early."

Lin Yu remained silent for two seconds.

What was he doing last night?

I edited photos until around 10 a.m., then said I had to get up early tomorrow, leaving the rest to myself today.

Then I lay in bed and scrolled through my phone for two hours.

Damn it, Lin Yu yesterday, how could you be so mean! You have time to play on your phone, but no time to do work!

This little bit of work has to be left until today!

Look at that senior student! And look at yourself!

Indeed, there is no true empathy in the world; people cannot even empathize with their past selves.

"Senior, I don't have anything to add," Lin Yu said sincerely. "You seem a little too fussy."

"It's alright, but I think it was a bit rushed," Li Mai said, taking the folder. "I've been a bit busy lately, and the preparation wasn't thorough enough."

She was serious.

Lin Yu could tell from her tone.

Lord Li Mai, please stop your supernatural powers, I can't take it anymore.

I just wanted to get by quickly. The amount of work you're doing now is already equal to the amount of work I planned to do after completion!

"It's just a regular assignment, there's no need to make it too complicated," Li Mai added earnestly.

After Li Mai finished speaking, she took out a pen from her bag and clipped it to the folder.

Li Mai handed the folder to Lin Yu.

"Then I'll leave this part of filling out the form to you."

"Okay, sure."

Lin Yu took the folder.
