My skill tree increases every day.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

For a high school student, such class time is indeed an unimaginable dream, but for a college student...

This is tantamount to torture.

Some people may not agree with this view, but unfortunately, Liu Zhiyuan is not that kind of person.

Because Lin Yu is used to waking up early, he is usually the one responsible for waking Liu Zhiyuan up.

But today was different; Lin Yu was unusually sleepless.

Since gaining this special ability, Lin Yu has always looked forward to every morning, but today is different.

After experiencing a series of critical hits yesterday, including two consecutive nightmare CGs, Lin Yu finally began to examine his ability, which he didn't know where it came from.

Will it be some strange thing again today?

Having experienced two consecutive days of bad memories, Lin Yu now only wants to escape. As long as I don't open my eyes, I won't know what I lost, and I won't have any bad memories!

"Brother Yu, wake up! You'll be late! That old man is really strict in today's elective class! He won't let you off the hook if you don't go!"

Liu Zhiyuan tugged at Lin Yu, who was hiding his head under the covers. In the past, it was always Lin Yu who tugged at him, but today it was the other way around.

Lin Yu struggled to lift the blanket covering his face and got up.

Running away is useless.

Burying your head in the sand like an ostrich is pointless. Yesterday's events proved that ignorance doesn't mean it won't work.

Those memories simply remained there, quietly waiting for Lin Yu to discover them.

If you don't look at it today, or tomorrow, those memories won't disappear, but Lin Yu's things are truly gone! Once the house is empty, he won't be able to hide anymore.

At that time, all the memories rushed into my mind all at once...

Too much! It can't fit anymore... it'll spoil...

Scary to think about!

Lin Yu, his mind a blur, dared not think any further.

When the two entered the trapezoidal classroom, the back seats were already almost full.

"here!"

Liu Yiyuan waved to the two of them. Li Si was sitting next to him; they had already reserved four seats.

These two were Lin Yu's roommates before he and Liu Zhiyuan moved out.

Lin Yu moved out of the dormitory not because he didn't get along with his two roommates, but mainly because he and Liu Zhiyuan were caught red-handed by the dormitory supervisor when they were illegally wiring electrical wires.

The dormitory management at Qingzhou University of Technology is quite strict. The doors close at 10:30 pm and the lights go out at 11 pm. It's not that the students voluntarily turn off the lights; the dormitory manager simply cuts off the main power switch.

If it were just a matter of no lights, that wouldn't be so bad. After all, college students are like rats in a sewer, long accustomed to living in complete darkness. The most crucial thing is that after the power was cut off and the lights went out, there wasn't even any power to the outlets or the water heater in the dorm!

Who could tolerate this?!

Lin Yu couldn't stand it any longer, and then he was caught red-handed by the dormitory supervisor who was on patrol.

He was given a disciplinary warning and his accommodation privileges were revoked.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with living away from home. You can enjoy 24-hour power, access small websites anytime, and don't have to worry about your phone running out of battery.

University classrooms are relatively quiet. Compared to the environment in high school where everyone knows each other well, in these large-scale elective courses, most people can only get to know their roommates.

So before class, most people either look down at their phones or chat quietly with people they know nearby. It feels more like a public place.

The school bell rang, and a middle-aged man walked into the classroom. He was wearing a casual suit, his slicked-back hair was neatly combed, he had a square face, and a serious expression. He had a reserved air about him.

The classroom immediately fell silent as soon as he appeared.

Professor Jing, whose English name is Quark Jing, is privately referred to by his students as "Quark Jing" (meaning "Jing who fails to finish his courses").

His most famous achievement was failing a student who was playing on his phone in the front row on the very first day of class, without even giving him a chance to retake the exam.

Graduation from Qingzhou University of Technology requires earning credits for various types of courses. If you fail this course, you will have to take another course next semester to make up for the lost credit, which is equivalent to wasting a whole semester.

This also resulted in the students being very well-behaved in this class.

"Today we'll talk about the formation of folk culture..."

Professor Jing's professional level is undeniable. Although his classes are strict and demanding, they are by no means easy.

"Before get out of class ends, I'll assign you a task. Form groups, choose a location, and research the local customs and culture. This will serve as your regular homework for this course."

Sure enough, Professor Jing wouldn't let everyone off so easily.

"Of course, in order to improve everyone's teamwork skills, you won't be able to form your own teams. I've posted a link in the group chat for this lesson, and you can draw lots to decide which teams to form."

Professor Jing is still steaming!

"Oh no! Are you kidding me? Again with this?"

Similar whimpers rose and fell. Lin Yu looked up at the podium and saw only a faint smile on Professor Jing's face.

He's enjoying the students' wailing, isn't he? He's absolutely enjoying it, isn't he?

Lin Yu took out his phone, and sure enough, Professor Jing's lottery link had popped up in the class group. He entered his student ID and name as instructed.

"Brother Yu, what are you spacing out for? Give it a shot!" Liu Zhiyuan nudged him with his elbow, having already clicked on the link with a tragic expression, "Give me a quick death or not... Holy crap!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Yiyuan and Li Si also came over.

Liu Zhiyuan showed them his phone screen, which displayed his team members: two of them were from other colleges, and the other had an unfamiliar English name and a completely different student ID.

"Damn it, they've got international students on their hands! What's the point of cooperation now? Communication is a nightmare."

Liu Yiyuan and Li Si were lucky enough to be drawn together, along with a few other classmates they didn't know.

"Lin Yu, what about you?" Li Si asked.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and clicked the link. The loading screen spun, and the result appeared:

Although I didn't draw a classmate I knew, fortunately, I wasn't as unlucky as Liu Zhiyuan, who drew an international student.

"Look at this student ID number, even third-year students are taking this course."

"You think it's about hanging up students' hairpins?!"

"Hey, Su Wanqing, that name sounds so familiar... I think she was one of our school's top ten singers last year! What a beauty!"

The three of them surrounded Lin Yu's phone, chattering away.

Lin Yu's gaze lingered on the name Su Wanqing for a moment. He remembered her; she was one of the top ten singers at Qingzhou University of Technology last year, and when she stood on stage, she resembled a blooming rose.

"Alright." Professor Jing tapped the microphone on the podium. "You've all seen the team formation results? Contact each other privately and confirm your initial research directions. Submit your topics before the end of get out of class."

As soon as Professor Jing finished speaking, Lin Yu received a friend request.

"Lin Yu, I'm Li Mai, your teammate this time."
