Evolving infinitely from ground zero

In the evening, after dinner, Lin Zichen rested for a while before quickly going up to his room to engage in high-intensity training.

After more than three hours of practice, when he felt his muscles go numb, he stopped, sweating profusely, to take a break.

Even during his rest, he didn’t waste time. Sitting on the floor, he used his phone to search for news related to the Rat God Cult to keep up with the movements of this heretical sect.

A quick search revealed that in less than a day, several more followers had been captured.

It had to be said, the efficiency of the city’s security headquarters was high.

The only downside was that they still hadn’t caught the giant mutant rat.

In fact, they hadn’t even seen a shadow of one.

It was as if this creature had never existed in the human world, which was baffling.

After resting for a moment,

Lin Zichen put away his phone, picked up his clothes, and went to the bathroom.

After the bath, he turned off the lights and went to bed.

Before sleeping, he set an alarm for three in the morning, planning to go out to test his physical data when no one was around.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

The alarm on his phone went off.

Lin Zichen woke up to the sound, put on his clothes, took his measuring tools, and quickly left the house quietly.

Then, finding a blind spot away from surveillance cameras, he began his tests.

In less than ten minutes, the test results came out.

He could sprint a hundred meters in only 3.59 seconds.

His vertical jump could reach 7.02 meters.

He could lift a car weighing around 1650kg with one hand.

Compared to the last test, all three data points had improved.

After testing, Lin Zichen didn’t linger outside. He took his measuring tools and jogged home.

On his way past a green belt, he saw a fat rat.

Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find the rat lying on the ground eating a bird!

It was a sparrow!

The sparrow was still alive, its wings flapping in struggle, trying to escape the rat’s clutches, but to no avail.

Lin Zichen was shocked by the scene before him.

He had seen cats eat birds before.

But a rat eating a bird? What was going on?

How did it catch the bird to eat it?

Lin Zichen furrowed his brow, feeling that the scene was bizarre, and quickly kept his distance from the rat, choosing to take a detour home.

On the way back, he took the opportunity to call the security office to report the situation.

The people at the security office told him to stay away, but didn’t say much else, not even asking for the location. They seemed to not care much.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Lin Zichen played with his phone at his front door, waiting for Shen Qinghan to come out so they could go to school together.

It wasn’t long before Shen Qinghan emerged, holding a small bag of cookies.

She stopped in front of Lin Zichen, took out a cookie from the bag, and held it to his mouth with a sweet smile, “Mom made these cookies last night, try one.”

These were especially made by Xu Meng for her to take to school and share with her classmates, hoping she would get along well with everyone in her class.

Lin Zichen took a bite and smiled, “Aunt Meng’s cookies are as delicious as always.”

“Of course!”

Shen Qinghan said with pride.

After a brief chat, the two of them quickly set off for school.

Entering the school’s gate and walking down the path, Lin Zichen suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

Turning around, he saw a tall girl coming into view.

She looked like an upperclassman.

“Ah, Zi Chen junior, it really is you, I knew your silhouette looked so familiar!”

The girl, upon seeing Lin Zichen’s extremely familiar handsome face, immediately ran over with an excited look and said.

Lin Zichen sized up the girl and found he didn’t recognize her, which left him somewhat puzzled.

With a smile, the girl said, “Zi Chen junior, do you still remember me? During the school sports meet in your first year, I was always there beside you, cheering you on until my throat went hoarse.”

Lin Zichen didn’t remember at all, but he still smiled politely and said, “Of course I remember.”

The girl was overjoyed upon hearing that he remembered.

Lin Zichen didn’t chat with her much and just left her with a “See you, senior” before heading to the Grade 10 Class 1 classroom with Shen Qinghan.

On the way, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but express her admiration, “Xiao Chen, you are really popular, there seems to be your little fan girls everywhere.”

Lin Zichen just smiled without saying anything.

After arriving at the classroom, Shen Qinghan shared the biscuits with Li Chuxin and He Yu.

The two of them had never tasted such delicious biscuits before, and after finding out they were personally made by Xu Meng, Shen Qinghan’s mother, they couldn’t stop praising her.

As Xu Meng’s daughter, Shen Qinghan felt very pleased listening to this.

Soon, the class bell rang.

The students of Grade 10 Class 1 were greeted by their very first high school lesson.

The class was on Mechanical Transformation, and the teacher’s name was Cai Yuanfei, a techie with glasses.

The content of the first class was very basic, mainly explaining some fundamental concepts and principles to the students.

Lin Zichen listened for a bit and found that it was all knowledge he had learned from books in his childhood, so he quietly took out a book he had brought from home and read it, not wanting to waste time listening to the lecture.

Apart from him, the rest of the class listened attentively.

After all, not everyone was like him, having read extensively from a young age and having a photographic memory.

The vast majority had to keep pace with the teacher’s lessons.

While Lin Zichen quietly read his book, Lu Gang and Wang Shujie, the two academic elites from Nanguan City, were very active in the classroom.

Whenever the teacher posed a question, these two would immediately vie to answer, and they always got it right, astonishing their classmates and making them think these two were incredibly strong.

Cai Yuanfei, the teacher, also praised them profusely, saying they deserved their reputation as top students from Nanguan City, having such a rich reserve of knowledge.

After Mechanical Transformation class, the next subject was Genetic Fusion class.

The Genetic Fusion class teacher was named Liu Deren, another techie with glasses.

The content of the first class was also about explaining some concepts and principles.

Lin Zichen listened for a while, realized it was content he had self-studied long ago, and continued to lower his head to read the book he had brought.

Meanwhile, Lu Gang and Wang Shujie continued their eager participation in the class.

Liu Deren, having taught for many years, had never encountered students with such a rich knowledge reserve, and he couldn’t help but give them a big thumbs up and praised:

“Incredible, the students from Nanguan City are impressive. I’ve been teaching for so many years and have never seen students as remarkable as these two, truly an eye-opener for me.”

Hearing this assessment, both Lu Gang and Wang Shujie felt greatly satisfied in their vanity.

Before long, the dismissal bell rang.

After two periods of Mechanical Transformation and two periods of Genetic Fusion class, the entire morning’s lessons were over.

“Shu Jie, I heard you’re the third-highest scorer in Nanguan City’s middle school exams, isn’t that amazing?”

“Lu Gang, I heard you can easily lift 300kg weights with one hand, is that true?”

“My goodness, the top students from Nanguan City are just too strong!”

During the lunch break, most of the students in the class crowded around the two academic elites from Nanguan City, marveling at their strength.

Seeing this scene, He Yu felt sour all over and couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Damn, these two really like to show off, they kept trying to showcase themselves during class, as if they were afraid no one would know how strong they are.”

However, Lin Zichen thought it was pretty normal for those two to show off; he didn’t see any reason to disapprove.

They studied so hard and worked so diligently; they had finally achieved such excellent results, and if you didn’t allow them to indulge a little, that would be too harsh.

In many cases, one’s biggest motivation to strive forward is for the opportunity to show off after succeeding.

Returning home with wealth and honor without being able to flaunt it is like walking in brocade at night, unseen. That’s the logic behind it.
