Study Monster Cultivation System

"Aiya, no need to let your mom know." Li Yi hurriedly grabbed his son, "Teacher coming for a home visit at that time, it’s only right to keep them for a meal, isn’t it?"

"Heh, heh." Li Zheng turned back and sneered, "Hu Chunmei has been asking you out for over a year, and you never had time. How do you explain that?"

"This... isn’t it because we have a new teacher now? Giving some face and supporting their work." Li Yi quickly thought of the key issue discussed with Tang Zhifei and immediately pulled out his phone, "I see you’ve been buying a lot of study materials lately, do you have enough money?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng’s grip loosened a bit.

"Not really enough."

"Then I’ll support you with another thousand." Li Yi nodded, "You can buy whatever you need."

Li Zheng felt quite comfortable hearing this, and he finally put down his phone: "Honestly, Old Li, I’ve been short of study materials recently, and I might need to ask you for money frequently."

"No problem, as long as it’s for the right purposes, I’ll give you as much as you need." Li Yi quickly completed the transfer, "Alright, I’m heading to the hospital. Your Teacher Hu is having surgery the day after tomorrow. I’ll invite the chief surgeon for the most critical moment."

"Wait." Li Zheng gulped, "I also need a new pair of shoes, preferably basketball shoes."

"Just say so." Li Yi picked up his phone again and started operating it, then scratched his head, "Uh, son, I’m out of cash..."

He hurried to the coat rack, took out his wallet from his pocket, and handed a credit card to Li Zheng: "The password’s still the same, use it as you need."

Li Zheng looked at the credit card and felt a bit reluctant: "Forget it, I’ll spend less, just buy a pair under 100 bucks."

"No, no, don’t feel pressured." Li Yi forcefully put the credit card into Li Zheng’s hand, "Our family finances are fine. It’s just that my salary card, every time I check it, most of it has already been taken by your mom. How does she always know exactly when I get paid, with all her meetings and jet lag?"

"Can’t be helped. Women always have some mystical abilities." Li Zheng put away the credit card and said, "Then I’ll save a bit, ask Ning’er for more money in the second half of the month."

"Don’t save, spend what you need." Li Yi said as he put on his coat, "My credit limit is 800,000, I’ve got you covered."

800,000.

Li Zheng inevitably indulged in fantasies.

Could buy enough books to fill the house, right?

Goodness, he could even sleep on a bed made of test papers.

...

That morning, Li Zheng rode his bike to the bookstore.

Awkwardly, he was still wearing Old Li’s leather shoes, feeling strange while biking and walking, a scent unbecoming of his age.

As for his old sneakers, they had come to the end of their life.

Recalling last night’s smell, Li Zheng couldn’t help but shudder even now.

Fortunately, the book fragrance in the store quickly dispersed the olfactory gloom.

Without hesitation, he rushed to the textbook section on the third floor.

This was an extraordinary place.

If it were in a martial arts novel, it would be the ultimate Sutra Depository.

An entire floor of textbooks, reference books, and workbooks.

Li Zheng pushed a shopping cart and headed towards the tall bookshelves.

Hunting for study materials was undoubtedly a supreme pleasure.

With sufficient budget now, he had the courage to buy the super practice question collections he usually felt reluctant to purchase.

...

Without realizing it, two hours had passed.

Books are great in every way, except for one thing.

They’re too heavy.

What limited Li Zheng’s purchases was not money, but weight.

In the end, he could only carefully select and buy a few hundred dollars’ worth of study materials, a significant part of which he would share with Zhang Xiaoke.

Thinking of Zhang Xiaoke, Li Zheng was still quite excited.

This kid might be even smarter than himself.

Yesterday, she almost passed that difficult test. She did better than Liu Xin and Zhang Yue.

As long as they follow the plan and do a few hundred hours of practice questions, their scores are bound to improve significantly.

For the midterms, they should at least aim for 450.

For himself, he planned to fully utilize the vitality value and aim for 600.

This way, their group’s average score could reach 525.

As for Lin Yujing, she was quite pitiable, actually.

She was already at 721 points, with hardly any room for improvement.

To win, she would have to coach Liu Xin to score above 330 points.

Wait.

330...

Given Liu Xin’s current study status.

It didn’t seem too difficult.

As long as he studied diligently, even blindly doing the questions, he could probably reach that score.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng carrying four big bags of practice questions suddenly felt a bit panicked.

No, the target must be raised.

Assuming Liu Xin could reach the average score of 450, they could be truly confident of victory.

Meaning, both he and Zhang Xiaoke would have to raise their scores by another 60 points or so each.

For himself, getting over 600 was already very difficult. To push further would be entering the realm of geniuses.

Li Zheng was determined to challenge himself, but the problem was there were only three weeks left, surely not enough time.

Therefore, he had to squeeze more points out of Zhang Xiaoke.

Zhang Xiaoke must improve to the 550 level.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng turned back, put the four bags of practice questions back into the shopping cart, and headed once more towards the study materials section.

Not enough.

Practice questions, far from enough.

He decided to try the bookstore’s same-day delivery service.

...

While Li Zheng was racing against time, he didn’t know that in a top-floor apartment in another building, his teammate was wasting time lavishly.

In a pink bedroom full of girlish vibes, Zhang Xiaoke carefully applied her contact lenses in front of a mirror.

On the big double bed behind her, there were still seven or eight dresses and stockings laid out.

Accompanied by a lively song from the speaker, Zhang Xiaoke blinked and hummed along.

"Hmm~~ hmm hmm hmm hmm~~" She carefully examined herself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied. Then she picked up her mascara, smiling and outlining her lashes, "Swish, swish, swish~~~"

After just a nap, she was full of energy again.

For Zhang Xiaoke, this was her first date.

Even though the theme was studying.

At her new school, since the school uniforms hadn’t been issued, she could wear her own clothes, but due to Sun Xiubin’s deterrence, she had to choose conservative outfits.

Not anymore now.

After leaving school, she, Zhang Xiaoke, was the real Zhang Xiaoke!

This afternoon, meeting Li Zheng, his astonishment would be imaginable.

’You... you... you’re so pretty, Xiaoke…’

’I don’t even dare... to talk to you...’

’Being with a plain guy like me... wouldn’t you feel embarrassed...’

’I really don’t have the courage to sit so close to you... I might as well be your doggie...’

’Arf, arf, arf...’

Imagining Li Zheng’s blushing and thumping heart, unable to make eye contact, self-conscious but happy look.

"Wahahaha..." Zhang Xiaoke kicked her legs in laughter, "Hey hey!! Ah!"

After getting up, she realized she had to redo her lashes again.

But she didn’t find it troublesome.

To capture this man psychologically.

She feared no trouble.

Beating him with looks was just the beginning.
