Chapter 22: I'm Quitting!

Chapter 22: I'm Quitting!

After class, while the students prepared to head to the training gym, Zhao Zheng was planning to skip out.

Over the past seven days, he had visited the gym and participated in the training sessions, but for some reason, despite possessing Kryptonian heritage, his training yielded no results...

Not a single attribute point increased!

It was no wonder everyone considered it a useless talent.

Since the training had no effect, there was no point in Zhao Zheng enduring unnecessary hardship.

Starting from the day before yesterday, whenever the students went for training, he would sneak back to the dorm for a good sleep...

But this time, he was caught red-handed by Old Mr. Chu.

"Zhao Zheng! Where are you going when everyone else is training?"

Mr. Chu's voice drew the attention of many.

Zhao Zheng, caught in the act, made an excuse, "My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I'm heading to the restroom."

Mr. Chu seemed quite upset and pulled Zhao Zheng aside, then asked, "Zhao Zheng, are you planning to give up on yourself?"

"Huh? What...?"

Zhao Zheng didn't know what to say.

Training had no effect on him, and his attributes skyrocketed with daily sunbathing. Why would he put himself through such hardship?

"Think about your parents, think about those who care about you. They wouldn't want to see you so depressed..."

Old Mr. Chu had already started his lecture, "Follow the others to the training, even if your attributes don't increase, you can still learn some combat techniques. The more skills you have, the more hope you'll have in the Spirit Realm! If you still want to make it back home alive, then work hard, give it your all to improve yourself. Understand? If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

Hearing these words, Zhao Zheng was quite touched.

This Old Mr. Chu, with a cold exterior but a warm heart, showed concern for every student.

However...

There were some secrets he couldn't share with Mr. Chu just yet.

So, he remained silent.

Seeing Zhao Zheng's prolonged silence, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mr. Chu's eyes, and he finally sighed.

"If you truly want to give up, I won't stop you!"

With those words, Mr. Chu turned and walked away.

The students were still waiting for him.

Their training wasn't just about rigorous practice; it required professional guidance to avoid potential negative effects from overtraining or incorrect methods!

As the head teacher of Class B, Mr. Chu's daily task was to guide the students and find suitable training methods.

Watching Mr. Chu lead the students away, Zhao Zheng contemplated and decided not to follow.

Whether Mr. Chu gave up on him or ignored him was fine.

"Should I just drop out?"

The thought crossed Zhao Zheng's mind.

Since he didn't want to reveal his secret yet, and he couldn't bear to give up the extraordinary rewards in the Spirit Realm...

However, dropping out wasn't a trivial matter, and he was still considering it.

...

Seeing that Zhao Zheng wasn't catching up, Mr. Chu sighed helplessly.

Zhao Zheng had already decided to give up, and as a teacher, Mr. Chu's words would likely fall on deaf ears...

At that moment, a voice called out from the side.

"Mr. Chu!"

Mr. Chu turned and saw Ms. Shen from Class A, also leading her students to the training gym.

"Ms. Shen," he greeted.

Judging by Mr. Chu's expression, he seemed to hold Ms. Shen in high regard.

"Mr. Chu, what's the situation with that student? Why didn't he come along with you?"

Ms. Shen was referring to Zhao Zheng, who hadn't moved from his spot.

Mr. Chu sighed, "That child has already given up on himself."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Shen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked, "Is his name Zhao Zheng?"

"Yes."

Mr. Chu nodded and glanced at the Class A students, finally spotting the exceptionally good-looking Song Haitang among them.

"Speaking of which, this student of mine has given up on himself, and it's related to your classmate, Song Haitang." Mr. Chu's words were accompanied by a smile, but he didn't seem to take them to heart.

A week was enough time for many messages to circulate around the campus.

The male and female leads from the nationwide sensation had become freshmen at Zhenwu University, and it was no longer a secret within the school.

Even online, many netizens were aware of this.

"Is that so?"

Ms. Shen's smile didn't show any concern for Mr. Chu's words.

The two of them had a brief conversation before going their separate ways.

...

On the other side, Zhao Zheng saw Mr. Chu walking away and also left the spot, heading out of the campus.

An hour later...

He emerged from the sunbathing experience center with a satisfied smile on his face.

Many men on the road saw his expression and looked at the center in surprise, then showed confusion.

Is there a special service here? I'll have to try it next time!

Zhao Zheng was unaware that his smile had caused misunderstandings among passersby.

He hailed an autonomous taxi on the roadside, got in, and then opened his attribute panel on his phone.

Race: Human

Constitution: 130

Spirit: 47

Strength: 130

Agility: 130

Talent: Kryptonian Heritage

Psychic Points: 0

...

These were Zhao Zheng's current attributes.

It had been 12 days since he acquired the Meta Human Physiology.

12 days, and he already had such high attributes—it was mind-blowing!

However, Zhao Zheng frowned slightly as he checked his phone's balance...

When he came to Zhenwu University, his parents had deposited 10,000 yuan into his account.

Now, just 12 days later, he had already spent 4,000 yuan.

Out of this 4,000 yuan, he had spent a few hundred on meals at the cafeteria, and the remaining 3,000+ yuan was all spent on the sunbathing experience center and daily transportation costs.

He still needed to find a way to make money!

...

A moment later, the car had stopped at the entrance of Zhenwu University.

Zhao Zheng got out, paid the fare, and as he entered the gate, he ran into a familiar face.

It was Song Haitang!

The girl seemed to be waiting for him intentionally.

"Huh? Haitang, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zheng asked, feigning ignorance.

The girl was direct: "I'm waiting for you."

"Oh? Do you need something?"

"Zhao Zheng, I heard you didn't even attend training?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng knew what the girl was getting at.

He replied with a hint of helplessness: "Yes."

He had thought the girl might lecture him.

Unexpectedly, Song Haitang said softly, "I'm not here to persuade you. I hope you can agree to go to the Spirit Realm with me as a team."

She deeply regretted her decision to accept Zhao Zheng's Burn Burn Fruit, believing that if she hadn't, he wouldn't have given up on himself.

Zhao Zheng was taken aback, a little confused by the girl's intentions.

He was about to refuse when a sudden idea changed his mind...

"You really want to team up with me? Aren't you afraid I'll drag you down?" Zhao Zheng asked.

Song Haitang nodded firmly: "Yes! Even if you do, I'll be happy to do it. This is what I owe you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng immediately rebutted: "Don't keep saying you owe me. Our exchange of superhuman opportunities was mutual and voluntary. We don't owe each other anything. If you continue to think this way, let's not talk about teaming up."

This guy was being sneaky!

The purpose of his words was to define their exchange and prevent Song Haitang from causing trouble after learning about the Kryptonian Heritage...

Song Haitang didn't think much of it.

Hearing Zhao Zheng's willingness to team up, the girl agreed, saying, "Okay, we don't owe each other anything."
