Lu Yuan’s current profession was [Student].
The eight major subjects taught at the school were the eight basic skills under this profession.
Lu Yuan gained experience in subject skills by focusing on lectures, studying on his own, answering questions, and mastering knowledge in the process.
Every ten minutes focused on studying would grant one point of [Student] profession experience.
Of course, the best way to gain experience was through exams.
Whether it was a major grade-level exam or a minor class quiz, a weekly or monthly test, every exam made Lu Yuan’s Experience Points surge.
In the two months since his transmigration, he had transford from a diocre student with below-average grades into a ’good student,’ now ranked in the top three of his class and top twenty of his grade.
His efforts were undoubtedly important, but this transformation was mainly due to the profession panel before his eyes.
During this period, he had also experienced two profession level-ups.
[Student] Lv. 1 rose to Lv. 3.
The two level-ups provided Lu Yuan with two attribute points and two skill points.
The forr increased his intelligence beyond that of an average high school student. The latter compensated for his weakness in physics and also unlocked a Core Skill for him on the panel—[Absolute Focus].
[Absolute Focus] (Active). Effect: Allows the learner to concentrate their Spiritual Power for a short duration, slightly enhancing cognitive capabilities and imrsing them completely in studying.
(Note: The duration of this skill was related to Intelligence and Constitution attributes. The higher these attributes, the longer the duration.)
For a teenager with a restless mind, this skill was nothing short of a ’God Skill’.
By this point, the slight throbbing pain in Lu Yuan’s head had disappeared, so he stopped rubbing his temples.
Instead, he began massaging his sore and aching fingers and wrist.
My ntal capacity hasn’t reached its limit yet, but my body is sowhat exhausted. The physical exertion is too great.
Who said studying wasn’t a physical ordeal?
Lu Yuan wanted to join a sports-related interest club to build up his physique. Besides preparing for the future unified entrance exam, part of the reason was that he hoped to extend the duration of [Absolute Focus], which would indirectly improve his learning efficiency.
I’ll download so workout videos online tonight and follow along. I’ll start jogging tomorrow!
Lu Yuan pinched his arm, which his hand could completely encircle, and silently made a resolution.
His current physical condition is truly too poor. The previous owner of this body just holed himself up in his room all day reading novels and comics; he was practically wasting away. He failed every physical fitness test at school. With such a weak body, he was afraid that one day he might accidentally overdo it with studying, collapse at his desk, and never get up again.
After resting for a while, Lu Yuan felt his energy mostly restored. Seeing that it was almost three in the afternoon, he prepared to head to the hospital.
Before leaving, he took out a stack of light green banknotes from a thick dictionary on his bedroom bookshelf and carefully tucked it into his pocket.
This was the prize money the school had awarded him for his academic improvent on two occasions: five hundred for the first, and eight hundred for the second, totaling one thousand three hundred.
He planned to withdraw the money from his mobile paynt account on the way to the hospital, round up the total, and find an opportunity to give it to his father.
As a mber of this family, he had to contribute sothing during their most difficult ti.
Thinking this, Lu Yuan walked out of his room.
Just as he finished changing his shoes and was about to head out, the front door opened from the outside.
A haggard-looking middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a blue shirt, appeared before Lu Yuan.
"Dad?!"
Lu Yuan was sowhat taken aback. "Why are you back?"
"Mm."
Lu Xinghua nodded at Lu Yuan without saying anything, rely dragging his exhausted body inside.
Once inside, he slumped directly onto the living room sofa, tilted his head back to face the ceiling, and closed his eyes.
Lu Yuan reached into his trouser pocket, clutching the small roll of money, wondering if he should go over and give it to Lu Xinghua right then.
Just then, Lu Xinghua’s phone suddenly rang.
He opened his eyes, glanced at the phone screen, then quickly stood up and went out to the balcony.
"...Can you wait another two days..."
"Wang Zhichao, that bastard! He owes hundreds of thousands for the goods, and now I can’t find him... My old man is still lying in the ICU!"
"...I’ll definitely pay you back as soon as I can!"
Lu Xinghua’s voice, speaking on the phone, drifted faintly from the balcony.
Lu Yuan moved a bit closer. Listening to the content of the conversation, his brow gradually furrowed.
He lowered his head, thought for a mont, then, clutching the roll of money in his pocket, quickly walked into his parents’ bedroom.
He re-erged half a minute later, his expression calm, but the money was no longer in his hand.
The voice from the balcony had stopped at so point.
Through the balcony’s glass door, Lu Yuan saw Lu Xinghua facing the residential building opposite them, silently smoking a cigarette.
Lu Yuan watched for a mont and was about to leave quietly when Lu Xinghua’s voice ca from behind him.
"Yuan, co over here!"
Lu Yuan turned back to see Lu Xinghua stubbing out his cigarette in a flowerpot on the balcony and beckoning him over.
"What is it, Dad?"
Lu Yuan walked over.
Seeing Lu Xinghua this close for the first ti, Lu Yuan noticed his eyes were riddled with blood vessels, as if he hadn’t slept for days and nights.
"Peng said you wanted to sign up for the Martial Arts classes at the sa hall he goes to?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt an urge to curse.
Cheng Peng, that idiot! He gets so engrossed in gas he forgets to eat, yet he actually rembered to call Dad about the Martial Arts classes?!
"No, I don’t want to."
Lu Yuan imdiately denied it. "I don’t think it’s necessary to join a sports-related interest club right now. The unified entrance exam is still a year away. Besides, an interest club would take up my study ti, and my coursework is already demanding..."
"You spend all day cooped up in your room studying; you should get out more."
Lu Xinghua suddenly cut him off. He then reached into his pocket, took sothing out, and placed it in Lu Yuan’s hand. "Rember to balance work and rest."
Lu Yuan saw that what had been pressed into his hand was a receipt. The heading on the receipt read ’Origin Martial Arts Hall,’ and the amount was ’9,988’...
Lu Yuan was stunned.
"When I was at the hospital, Peng called . I happened to pass by this martial arts hall on my way back, so I went ahead and paid the fee for you."
"They’re having a promotion at the martial arts hall right now. You’d have to sign up eventually anyway, so it’s better to do it now while there’s a discount..."
"Don’t worry about things at ho or with your grandpa. Your main priority now is to focus on your studies and get your body in shape."
"Your mom ntioned that once she asked you to deliver two bags of rice to the fourth floor, and you had to stop and rest three tis just to get them up there. Your physical condition is really too poor. When I was your age, I could carry two large gas canisters up to the eighth floor without even breathing heavily..."
