Study Monster Cultivation System

Chapter 115 - 114 Can seniors touch it, but I can’t?

```

Lake Ying Middle School.

Li Zheng’s breaks between classes were also tough to endure.

It wasn’t just the people in his class surrounding him; even students from other classes came over, and even the likes of Ling Shijie, who never studied, got wind of the news and leaned on the classroom door shouting, "Brother Zheng is awesome!"

Amidst the congratulatory gawking, people would occasionally ask for study methods.

After all, Li Zheng had managed to finish the content of one year of undergraduate chemistry in just half a month, and his main subjects had also improved significantly.

In everyone’s view, there must be some kind of secret trick.

The classmates surrounded Li Zheng, chattering and asking away.

"Li Zheng, did you sign up for a tutoring class or something?"

Li Zheng, "No, but I’ve collected some practice problems."

"So you really self-studied?"

Li Zheng, "Teacher Yu also gave some guidance, but mainly it was self-study. You have to tackle it bit by bit without shortcuts, and it actually becomes easier the further you go."

"Then if I start preparing for the chem competitions next year, can you give me some tips?"

Li Zheng, "Come, I’ll lend you this ’Inorganic Chemistry.’ If you can get through fifty pages in one day and answer the questions I set, then you’ll be qualified to prepare."

"... Dude, I’m sorry, just looking at the cover is enough to scare me off."

Amidst the crowd’s questions, Li Zheng felt somewhat disappointed.

They seemed to always assume there were some cunning techniques that could double their results with half the effort.

Such things didn’t exist.

Of course... the system still existed.

But the core was still about learning steadily and solidly, one step at a time.

If someone couldn’t even manage to study continuously for ten hours a day, then even with the assistance of the "study the way of magic" mantra, they would just be heading down the path of corruption, becoming so addicted to Game Coin that they couldn’t extricate themselves.

I study the way of magic, indeed it’s not for mere mortals.

Looking at it now, these people who want quick success seem unlikely to develop well.

As the study committee member, I’ll summarize the learning methods into an article to see everyone’s feedback, then focus on recruiting a few potential students.

Front right corner, by the window.

Contrasting with the lively scene around Li Zheng.

Lin Yujing was still lying down, healing herself with sleep.

Usually, people throw themselves into doing something with all their might, fail, and after repeating this a few times, they learn to be strong.

Jiang Qinghua was a prime example.

But there were always those irritating individuals.

Those who never give their all in anything.

And yet always succeed.

This was infuriating.

Fortunately, those who provoke ire will sooner or later meet an even more infuriating monster.

Finally, today, at the age of 18.

Lin Yujing understood what setback meant.

She lay on her desk with her face turned to the side, her hands in a gesture of surrender, and sighed sadly at the sky outside the window, "Ugh..."

"Hey!" someone suddenly bounced over, bumping Lin Yujing’s shoulder with their behind and teased, "Ugh what ugh, congratulations, isn’t seventh in the city enough to make you happy?"

Lin Yujing turned her face, seeing it was Zhang Xiaoke, and continued in a pained voice, "Not happy."

"Sigh, don’t compare yourself to the master." Zhang Xiaoke pulled up a chair to sit, propped her feet on the desk, and let out a sigh, looking every bit the seasoned Jianghu veteran, "I’ve come to realize, never compare yourself with the master. Look at me, I lost everything again, do you see me crying?"

Lin Yujing managed a weak smile, "That’s what you get for betting."

"Hahaha." Zhang Xiaoke leaned in and mussed Lin Yujing’s hair, "Cheer up a bit, we’re about to start training soon, practice those chemistry experiments well."

"Ugh..." Lin Yujing fell back into agony, "Absolutely... not going."

"Huh? Think you’ve got a choice?"

"Nope, not going." Lin Yujing clenched her fists, trembling as she insisted, "No more distractions, I’ll focus on physics."

"Isn’t physics next year?"

"If I wait till next year to start, it will be a mess just like with chemistry." Lin Yujing suddenly sat up, vigorously rubbed her face, and puffed out a few breaths to invigorate herself. She nodded to herself and said, "There are many remarkable people out there; I must give my all."

Just then, an especially infuriating voice sounded.

"Hmph." Li Zheng came over with a sneer, "Didn’t you give your all in chemistry?"

Lin Yujing glared at Li Zheng with resentment, "Hate chemistry, gave it my... discounted full effort!"

```

"Suit yourself," Li Zheng pulled up a chair and sat down. "That being said, I support your decision to quit Chem Competitions training and start preparing for physics now."

Lin Yujing was taken aback.

Not being mocked for running away?

"After all, forcefully studying a subject you dislike is not good for your health," Li Zheng ran his fingers through his lush hair. "I scolded you before because you were wasting your talent, only knowing how to mumble. Now that I see you’ve decided to compete in physics, I’m quite gratified."

"Tsk!" Lin Yujing flipped her hair, hurriedly sweeping it over her face to hide from Li Zheng, before saying, "It’s none of your business. I like physics myself."

"Coincidence, I like physics too," Li Zheng’s mouth twitched upward, his tone becoming increasingly irritating. "Moreover, I enjoy watching you give it your all and then be defeated."

"!!!" Lin Yujing jolted, her hair standing on end, but she held back the urge to jump up and scratch him, muttering to herself, "Just you wait... when I win, I’ll repay you double... "

"Heh, you may not have realized yet, but the midterms will be the last victory of your life," Li Zheng pointed at his own head. "Know this, I feel like I’ve become one with Feynman’s spirit."

"Ew!"

This time, even Zhang Xiaoke couldn’t hold back, leaning on Li Zheng’s shoulder and saying, "Master... I really want to hit you... "

While they were talking, Yu Hong suddenly appeared again at the classroom door.

"Lin Yujing, Li Zheng, come, Principal Liu is looking for you."

"Uh..." Lin Yujing instantly hung her head, unable to look Yu Hong in the eye.

Even though she had failed.

She was still seventh in the city.

And now was the time she decided to end her journey in Chem Competitions.

Was Yu Hong going to mutate on the spot?

"No worries, you go prepare for the physics competition. I’ll give you a month," Li Zheng just smiled, stood up, and pushed his chair back in. "As for the competition and Yu Hong, I’ll cover for you."

With that, Li Zheng left with long strides.

"Hm..." Lin Yujing stared dumbfounded at his retreating figure.

Though still irritating.

He seemed a bit taller all of a sudden.

"Hey... that’s just how the Master is," Zhang Xiaoke said, full of emotions she couldn’t express. Seeing Lin Yujing in a daze, she licked her lips and came up with a bold idea.

She had been coveting that little face for a long time.

Soft and tender to the touch.

With a baby’s milky scent.

If not now, when?

Zhang Xiaoke took a deep breath.

No holding back now.

All or nothing.

Let’s go!

She lunged at Lin Yujing, her paw landing on Lin Yujing’s small cheek.

Shamelessly taking advantage.

Lin Yujing, caught off guard, had her left cheek forcibly pinched.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoke pinched it, her hand and heart felt a tingly softness.

Ah...

That touch.

Soft and smooth.

Delicate and cute.

And even smelling a bit like milk.

Another pinch, a roll, a rub, a pull.

So satisfying!

Lin Yujing, enraged, pushed Zhang Xiaoke away and covered her red face, scolding, "We’re not close enough for face-touching!"

Yet Zhang Xiaoke just chuckled, wiping the corner of her mouth, with the expression of an Old Driver. "What the seniors can touch, can’t I touch?"

"I... I..." Lin Yujing was so exasperated, she lunged at Zhang Xiaoke and started pinching her cheeks left and right. "I’ll pinch you too!"

"Mm..." Zhang Xiaoke couldn’t resist.

"Hahaha!" Lin Yujing laughed as she watched Zhang Xiaoke’s face stretching out, her eyeline extending. "You look like a silly husky."

"You’re the doggie! I’ll pinch!"
