Hmph! I’m not dealing with you! I’m still upset! After a long wait without any response, Zhen Yu grew impatient, "System! Come out or else!" With that attitude! Don’t expect any response! "Not making a sound, huh! Suffocate then!" After confronting the system, Zhen Yu directly whispered, "Connect to Plane 1!" [Ding! Plane 1 is now connected!] The system is scratching the walls... This type of normal operation is beyond its control! Otherwise, it would let Zhen Yu connect to nowhere! He Baihe: "Yo! Did you just finish the final exams? Can you get me the autographed photo I asked for?!" "...I can’t. I’m in a remote area right now. It’ll be easier once my brother gets into university in the big city." He Baihe: "Then I would have to wait another year! Why don’t you try for a college youth class?" Is the youth class owned by your family? Just apply as you say?! Besides... she doesn’t want to enter the society too early. It’s good to study for two more years anyway! Zhen Yu wants to pursue graduate studies in this lifetime! "Sister He, I want to ask you something!" He Baihe: "Ask! I guarantee I’ll tell you everything I know! In short, speaking..." Knowing how chatty she is, Zhen Yu quickly interjects: "Why do the stats stop increasing after reaching 80?!" This is just Zhen Yu’s guess, but she is 80% sure it’s true! Because she has been studying hard, it’s impossible for her stats not to change once it reached 80! He Baihe said in surprise: "Didn’t your system tell you?!" Zhen Yu silently made a mental note and continued asking: "Tell me what?" He Baihe: "For us ordinary people, reaching 80 is the limit! If you want to exceed 80, other than enhancing through the system, that is, stacking ability points, there’s only one other way!" "80 is the limit for ordinary people?!" Zhen Yu was somewhat confused by this statement. He Baihe: "Let me put it this way! Only true geniuses can have some of their stats surpass 80 from the moment they start the system! For us mortals, we can only potentially reach 80 through continuous effort afterward. But reaching 80 doesn’t mean you’re amazing! It just means you’ve become an elite in that area." He Baihe: "Elite means you are stronger than most people in society! Don’t you understand this term?! For example, take native language! For most people, their native language stat would be 80 as soon as they start the system! And it’s usually the highest score by the system! What does this tell you? It tells you that the thing you are best at is just at level 80!! When you can listen, speak, read, and write a foreign language as fluently as your native tongue, that language will also reach 80!" "Then how can one surpass 80? I mean, without stacking ability points through the system!" He Baihe: "This is the only method I mentioned! Intense strengthening! Taking language as an example again! If you can train to the standard of a broadcaster, then you might reach 90! Or take physical constitution, I’m not sure about the specifics, haha! But I guess you’d probably have to train to a soldier’s level to possibly increase it!" "I understand! Thanks, Sister He, for clarifying." He Baihe: "Hey! Why are you being so formal with me! But let me ask, what’s up with your system anyway? Does it have a grudge against you two? How could it not tell you such basic stuff?!" Not a grudge... as Zhen Yu thought to herself and replied: "Maybe it’s karma! The system and I just don’t click." Unknown to her, in the background, the system was silently agreeing with He Baihe and Zhen Yu’s words. Originally, it was just a bystander system! If it weren’t for Zhen Yu soaring into the sky like a skyrocket and colliding with it, it was actually supposed to bind with that adorable little girl across the street! Who would crave to bind with the initially cold-hearted, unresponsive Zhen Yu who couldn’t even make a reaction despite three provocations... After being swept into the temporal chaos, it fell into a slumber, only to wake up and find that its host was not the person it initially chose. The frustration! It simply went into shutdown mode! For a long time, it didn’t want to deal with Zhen Yu. This was not just a grudge! It was a massive one... Right after the middle school exam ended, the summer vacation began. The very next morning, Zhen Yu rushed to the old internet cafe and made a direct call to the Han Family! The call was answered by Mrs. Han, who was enjoying her weekend off, "Hello?" There was only one woman in the Han Family, so Zhen Yu was sure who she was speaking to. "Auntie! It’s Xiao Yu." "Ah! Xiao Yu! How did the exam go? You must have secured a spot in First High School, right?" Mrs. Han was increasingly satisfied with Zhen Yu, her future daughter-in-law! Her attitude couldn’t be better! "Uh... probably. Is everything fine with you recently?" Zhen Yu used her concern to shift the topic. "Fine! Everything’s great! The transshipment station has shut down, what could possibly happen to us! Just idling away every day!" Suddenly, she didn’t know how to continue the conversation! In a brief moment, Zhen Yu quickly weighed her options: should she encourage Mrs. Han to live a life of easy retirement or should she give some motivational advice? Ultimately, Zhen Yu decided to speak from her heart, "Auntie, why don’t you discuss with Uncle Han about learning nursing? If you could administer injections or dispense some medicines, you might be able to help Uncle Han out in the future!" Mrs. Han was stunned by her words! She wasn’t very fond of studying when she was young. But for Han Youliang, she struggled hard back then! Eventually, because of her educational background, she worked as an accountant at the station. Now past forty, suddenly being advised to study... frankly, Mrs. Han was panicked! "Uh... that, that..." Mrs. Han silently questioned herself, wondering if directly refusing would set a bad example for the kids... Just then! Han Mingyue’s voice came from behind her. "Mom! Who’s calling?" Mrs. Han instantly turned around and shoved the phone into her son’s arms and hurried away! "Here, it’s for you!"
