“`
Time flew by, and a week had passed.
That evening,
with the help of the Revitalization Pill, Lin Zichen successfully achieved Second-stage Skin Tempering Great Accomplishment as he had wished.
His body became invulnerable to blades and spears, and he could withstand close-range AK gunfire, comparable to the Golden Bell Shield described in martial arts novels.
In light of this, Lin Zichen didn’t indulge in self-satisfaction but continued to diligently refine himself.
The next day, he immediately began Second-stage Flesh Tempering.
He didn’t go to the research institute and spent the entire day in his dorm room refining his body.
He refined himself for an entire day.
He consumed four Revitalization Pills.
And ultimately, he achieved a 5% progress.
5% progress in one day.
As long as he maintained this refining efficiency, he would only need to refine for another 19 days to achieve Second-stage Flesh Tempering Great Accomplishment.
After that, he could proceed to Second-stage Bone Tempering.
With such high refining efficiency, he was certain to achieve Second-stage Body Refinement Great Accomplishment before the semester ended.
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen felt invigorated inside.
…
Another week went by.
That morning,
Lin Zichen’s progress in Second-stage Flesh Tempering increased as scheduled to 40%.
In another 12 days, he would achieve Second-stage Flesh Tempering Great Accomplishment, and then he could start Second-stage Bone Tempering.
That same afternoon,
parents from both families drove to the school, bringing as much as they could from home, planning to settle down at Shanhai University.
Shen Qinghan specially took an afternoon off to join Lin Zichen in helping their parents move.
The school’s arranged housing was all in the outer district.
This was because students not belonging to the inner district were prohibited from entering it.
Even the parents of inner district students were likewise forbidden from entering the inner district.
This was a strict rule.
Even the parents of the Newcomer King were no exception.
Soon, both Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan met up with their parents and led them to their assigned houses.
Thanks to Lin Zichen’s request to the school authorities, their parents were allocated houses next to each other, allowing them to continue being neighbors.
The only difference was that their children were living in the student dormitories, which made it feel a bit less like a complete family.
…
It took an entire afternoon to set up the new home.
Around 5 o’clock in the afternoon,
both families gathered at a restaurant in the outer district for a meal.
While eating and chatting, the atmosphere was harmonious.
“I just looked at the work arrangement; I’ve been assigned to teach cultural electives in Building C of the outer district, for inner district students, just 5 classes a week. This is too relaxing,” said Shen Jianye with a smile on his face.
Xu Meng also smiled and said, “Had I known teaching here was so relaxing, I would have moved over sooner.”
Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin both felt envious listening to this.
The two were novelists, and moving near the university didn’t reduce their workload at all.
But they enjoyed it nonetheless.
“Han Han, living with Xiao Chen and sharing a bed every day, how does it feel?” Zhang Wanxin asked Shen Qinghan with a teasing smile.
Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly, “Every day is so happy, it feels like a dream.”
As she said this, her delicate and fair face didn’t blush at all, and she wasn’t as shy as before.
It showed that she had grown up and her personality had become less timid.
Zhang Wanxin looked regretful, “Ah, if only our parents could also enter the inner district. I really want to see your dorm rooms. If I had time, I could even help you clean.”
Lin Yansheng, puzzled, said, “I remember Han Han posted a lot of videos in the group chat. Couldn’t you just watch those?”
Zhang Wanxin rolled her eyes at him, “Is watching on a phone the same as seeing it in person?”
…
Around 9 o’clock at night.
It was about time for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan to head back to their dormitory.
Before leaving, Xu Meng pulled Shen Qinghan to the side and quietly handed her a bag.
Shen Qinghan, thinking it was some gift, opened the bag with anticipation.
However, upon looking inside, she found two boxes of “ultra-thin XX condoms,” leaving her speechless.
“Mom, why do you always give me these?”
Shen Qinghan pouted, slightly unhappy with the gift.
Xu Meng explained, “I’m worried you might not have enough.”
Not have enough?
They hadn’t even reached that step yet.
They were not needed at all…
Mumbling to herself, Shen Qinghan then seriously said, “Mom, don’t give me these anymore, if we need them, I’ll buy them myself.”
“You’re just too shy to buy them, aren’t you?” her mother retorted.
“It’s convenient to shop online nowadays…”
“Shen Qinghan, since starting university and not being under your parents’ care, have you learned to talk back?” Xu Meng said, looking at her daughter with dissatisfaction.
Shen Qinghan immediately softened and affectionately linked arms with Xu Meng, whining softly, “Not at all. I’ve always been the obedient darling daughter who listens to Mom.”
Xu Meng smiled and pinched her cheek, “You’re already so big but still like to act spoiled. You must have been doing this a lot with Xiao Chen, right?”
“I only act like this with you, Mom.”
“Okay, Mom knows. Go on back. Xiao Chen is waiting outside.”
“Mom, bye-bye.”
“Mhm, bye-bye.”
The mother and daughter waved at each other and said their goodbyes.
…
Zhongyuan Building No. 8, Dormitory 603.
By the time the two of them returned here, it was nearly 9:30 p.m.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, Shen Qinghan remembered something very important and said to Lin Zichen:
“Zi Chen, I forgot to tell you, I have my Genetic Fusion scheduled for tomorrow night at 9 o’clock, in the master’s office. Would you come and keep me company?”
“Sure, I’ll come with you,” Lin Zichen replied without hesitation.
An event as significant as the Genetic Fusion, akin to conceiving a child, was something he would have insisted on being a part of, even if Shen Qinghan hadn’t asked.
