Evolving infinitely from ground zero

[Name: Lin Zichen]

[Age: 16]

[Biological Level: Common (Tier Five)]

[Biometric Attributes: Use-it-or-lose-it, Divine Root of Intelligence, Survival of the Fittest, Water Mastery, Natural Selection, Hawk’s Eye]

Unknowingly, I had already possessed six biological skills.

My biological level had also evolved to Common Tier Five.

And I am only 16 years old now.

Looking at the personal attributes panel in front of me, Lin Zichen felt a surge of excitement, believing that his future was promising.

With such a rate of growth, I would surely become a human paragon with a sanctified body and various powerful biological attributes.

By that time, whether it be the child prodigy from the Capital City or the mechanical genius girl, they were destined to pale in comparison to someone like me.

I idly thought about these things for a while.

Soon, Lin Zichen gathered his thoughts and headed to the rooftop of the building where the mall was located to experience the effect of the Hawk’s Eye attribute.

In just a moment, he arrived on the rooftop and stood at the highest point gazing around.

Everywhere his gaze landed, he could see very clearly.

He could see a mosquito flying in the air dozens of meters away.

He could see every person walking on the street below.

He could see a man and a woman fighting in a window hundreds of meters away.

The man and woman who were fighting suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, as if some terrifying presence had set its sights on them, turning them into prey ready for slaughter.

The man, thinking he was being spied on with a telescope, cursed as he got out of bed and gave the finger towards the window, then quickly drew the curtains.

“Whether it’s the range of vision or the ability to capture motion, both have far surpassed human limits. The eyesight of birds of prey is indeed powerful,” Lin Zichen couldn’t help but remark after recalling the high-definition scenes he had just seen from a distance.

Leaving the rooftop.

He returned to the place downstairs where they sold Exotic Beast Meat.

Lin Zichen walked and browsed around, eventually stopping in front of a freezer marked with a “Stealth Dragon” label.

The Ferocious Great Eagle album was already open, and now it was time to unlock the next Exotic Beast Album.

The biological attributes of the Stealth Dragon piqued his interest.

About the Stealth Dragon, despite the word “Dragon” in its name, it was not the dragon that everyone recognizes, but a lizard known for its ability to hide.

It could minimize the vitality and breath inside its body to lower its presence, making it easier to hunt or evade predators.

Being good at hiding means it’s difficult to capture.

Therefore, Stealth Dragon meat was very expensive, priced at 8,888 yuan per 500 grams.

8,888 yuan times 100 equates to nearly 900,000 yuan.

If the manuscript fee is calculated at 100,000 yuan per month, it would take almost a year to save enough to unlock the Stealth Dragon album.

It’s pricey, but there’s a reason for the price.

Lin Zichen was intrigued by the biological attribute of being good at hiding and decided that the next Exotic Beast Album would be the Stealth Dragon’s.

Once he had saved enough from his novel’s manuscript fees, amounting to 900,000 yuan, he would come over to purchase and consume it.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, December was coming to an end.

Today is Friday, and tonight, Shanhai High School was hosting its annual Top Ten School Singers Competition.

In the monotonous high school life, the appearance of such an entertaining competition immediately attracted a large number of students to come and watch.

Many students chose not to go home after school; instead, they settled for dinner in the cafeteria or just outside the school gates before coming over to the playground for the singing competition.

Aside from the students and teachers, there were also quite a few parents present.

Most were local residents living near the school who had come over to join in the post-dinner entertainment out of boredom.

A small part of them were parents of the contestants who had specifically come to cheer on their children.

As a contestant, Shen Qinghan’s parents, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng, were both present, already seated and waiting for her to appear on stage to cheer her on.

Lin Zichen’s parents, Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin, were also there; they had long treated Shen Qinghan as their own daughter, and coming to cheer for her was a given.

As for Shen Qinghan and Lin Zichen themselves, they were both backstage preparing.

As a contestant, Shen Qinghan was sitting in front of a mirror having someone apply makeup to her.

And the person doing her makeup was none other than Lin Zichen.

Observing the scene before her, Li Chuxin couldn’t help but express her incredulity, saying,

“Zi Chen, it’s amazing that you, a boy, actually know how to do makeup—such a versatile god!”

“I used to be naughty when I was little and would often steal my mom’s cosmetics to play with them, applying them all over Han Han’s face in a mess, and after messing around for a bit, I sort of got the hang of it,”

Lin Zichen explained.

The Shen Qinghan in front of him, whose makeup he was applying, muttered to herself, “Liar.”

Xiao Chen, you never really messed around! The first time you did makeup, it looked really good, and Aunt Xin and mom laughed and praised you as a genius.

“Genius is indeed different; you got the hang of it just playing around when you were little. For someone like me, I’ve been learning makeup with my mom since sixth grade, but my technique isn’t even a tenth as good as yours,”

Li Chuxin said, feeling a bit defeated.

Lin Zichen was too much of a genius.

During this short semester in high school, whether it was a field typically mastered by males or one favored by females, he could demonstrate an amazingly exaggerated talent in it.

So exaggerated that it left people without the slightest motivation to follow, with nothing but a deep sense of inferiority and a profound sense of futility in questioning their own lives.

“Zi Chen, after you finish doing Han Han’s makeup, can you do mine too? The makeup you’re doing for Han Han is just so beautiful—I want to have makeup that looks just as good…”

Li Chuxin pleaded with her eyes.

Lin Zichen wanted to decline, but before he could speak up, Shen Qinghan sitting in front of him said, “Of course he can! After all, we’re the closest group members in our class.”

Seeing Shen Qinghan say that, Lin Zichen no longer refused, smiling at Li Chuxin, “Okay, I’ll do your makeup afterward, too.”

“Thank you, Zi Chen, thank you, Qinghan!”

Li Chuxin didn’t know how much Shen Qinghan’s just-spoken words had influenced this, but it seemed right to thank them both anyway.

After all, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were a known pair tied together at school.

About ten minutes later, Lin Zichen had finished applying makeup to Shen Qinghan.

The Shen Qinghan now had fine eyebrows and sparkling eyes, small and tender lips, and a touch of light peach blush on both cheeks, looking very charming.

Even Lin Zichen, who had personally done this beautiful makeup, found himself staring a bit too long.

“Why do you keep staring at me…”

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan’s pretty face turned red and hot; she had to turn her head to the side and look away, her little hand awkwardly playing with her hair.

Lin Zichen chuckled and said earnestly, “Because you’re beautiful.”

These words pierced right through Shen Qinghan’s heart, filling her with joy and a blush of shyness.
