Xiao Wu then explained that it was to prevent the host from forgetting the purpose after obtaining the treasure chest, so the upgrade method for the treasure chest skill obtained through the All-Round Skill sometimes randomly changes to a method related to Morality, Intelligence, Physical Education, Aesthetics, and Labor.
Remembering Yan Han’s outburst at it back then, and taking advantage of its host’s good mood, Xiao Wu roared back indignantly: [You should be glad it’s this kind of upgrade method; the kind that only focuses on the skill itself would be much harder!]
“…”
Yan Han could certainly relate to that.
For example, his Deep Focus skill was stuck at the second level, and based on his current usage, it would take at least three more months to reach the third level.
Thinking about Deep Focus, Yan Han had another question: “Can I activate this ‘Fatigue Swept Away’ skill while using Deep Focus?”
Although he possessed the ‘Fatigue Swept Away’ skill, Yan Han still didn’t dislike his previous Deep Focus skill.
After all, ‘Fatigue Swept Away’ only cured fatigue, while Deep Focus allowed him to enter a wonderful state of self-forgetfulness. Not only could he concentrate fully on learning, but more importantly… it was like meditation; every time he entered this state, all the rights and wrongs disappeared, and his mind and ears gained a moment of peace.
Because of this skill, Big Brother had become much more laid-back than before.
But what could he do? He always felt so sleepy after using Deep Focus. If he didn’t feel tired after using it, that would be perfect!
[Sure, the principle is to store fatigue points anyway.] Xiao Wu said calmly.
“…”
Yan Han suddenly realized that Deep Focus consumed far more energy than usual. This meant the more energy he expended in Deep Focus, the more fatigue points he accumulated. Although he could store them, he still had to pay the price.
So he couldn’t indulge himself too much.
But one should be content, and Yan Han was already quite satisfied.
He immediately tried it and found that he didn’t feel tired…it was amazing!
You don’t know until you try it!
First of all, his brain became much clearer without fatigue, his comprehension improved, and memorizing things was much more efficient than when he was tired but forced himself to memorize by rote!
Secondly, his body was no longer fatigued. The back pain from prolonged desk work and the lower back pain from sitting for too long had disappeared. Without these distractions, he could concentrate on his studies much better than before. Even more amazing was that he no longer had to worry about his body!
Before, before using Deep Focus, he had to get up and move around to find a comfortable sitting position, or he might not be able to maintain stillness for an hour.
But now, these concerns were completely unnecessary!
Simply combining the two skills was perfect!
Of course, to store more fatigue points at once, continuing his skincare routine was still necessary, since he needed to upgrade.
In addition, daily exercise was essential. Storing fatigue points was linked to his physical condition, and even though storing them wouldn’t have any negative impact on his body, Yan Han didn’t want to become an increasingly thin, bony figure.
Besides, exercising meant working out with his boyfriend…
What could be more wonderful and mentally stimulating than watching your boyfriend work out in a private gym undisturbed by anyone!
Riding the wave of satisfaction from acquiring his new skill, Yan Han returned to school.
With this newfound skill, he studied even harder than before, skipping his afternoon naps and spending even longer hours streaming from his dorm at night.
Many of his fans were astonished, wondering why their streamer, only a sophomore in high school, was suddenly working so hard. But when they discovered that he spent most of his time working on advanced math problems… some thought he was incredibly talented, managing to find time for math competitions despite the heavy workload of high school!
Others felt his dedication was unnecessary, suggesting he should focus on the college entrance exam, as the chances of getting extra points from competitions were slim, and even if he succeeded, the difference would be small; learning this now was simply not worth it.
Of course, there were also the persistent haters who frequented Yan Han’s stream, constantly flooding the chat with comments, saying he was getting arrogant and neglecting his studies, or simply putting on a show…
In short, there were all sorts of opinions, but Yan Han never paid them any attention.
Even if some haters misunderstand him, so what? On the bright side, as long as people pay attention and post comments, there will be buzz, which is a good thing.
Yan Han happily began his daily routine of studying his coursework at school, trying his best to do his homework, and doing math Olympiad problems at night. The busy days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the National Day holiday was just a week away.
However, there was one big event before the holiday— the first monthly exam after the class placement exam was scheduled for the last week before the holiday.
In the first year of high school, the class placement exam and the monthly exam were combined, and the next grade-wide unified exam was the midterm exam.
But starting in the second year, there was an additional monthly exam immediately after the class placement exam.
According to some classmates, this was because the school was afraid they would be too indulgent during the National Day holiday, so starting in the second year, there was always an exam before every holiday.
Moreover, the results would be announced during the holiday and sent directly to the parents…
As Wen Juerong put it in the group chat, “This is deliberately giving my dad a chance to beat me up while I’m on holiday at home!”
Before the holiday, people were inevitably restless. Even in a class like Class 10, half the students were thinking about how to have fun during the National Day holiday, so who had the mind to take exams?
Let alone the students in other classes.
As a result, the entire school building was filled with complaints after receiving the notice.
However, Yan Han did not feel this despair. He had already told his grandparents that he would stay at school to study during the National Day holiday and not go home.
He was also prepared to study from dawn till dusk for the entire holiday.
Besides, nobody really cared about his studies anyway. His grandparents wanted him to rest more and study less, so the exam was just something he took casually and would go back to doing whatever he needed to do.
But on the other hand, this exam was quite important… a good opportunity.
The weekend he went home with Brother Lin wasn’t all about enjoying himself… no, it wasn’t all about studying either.
Regarding the previous incident of students bullying teachers, Lin Jianlu had told him some secrets. Apparently, the reason Teacher Wang was bullied by those top students in the front row was because she had praised him in public. Those students didn’t dare to confront her directly, so they resorted to such heinous acts as harassing the teacher.
And there was supposedly a mastermind behind it all…
He always felt like there was a fly lurking around him, buzzing and constantly bothering him.
It had been quiet for a while, but now it was buzzing again.
Yan Han declared that he was here to study, not to play mind games or film palace dramas.
He was too lazy to deal with it, but some people who needed to be dealt with should be dealt with.
