Yu Wenliang excitedly stood up.
He could clearly feel that some positive changes were happening to him, like with the Physical Form skill.
Although it was only Level 1.
But after a month of simulated training, his slight hunchback, forward neck posture, and other issues caused by prolonged computer and phone use had all improved.
Yu Wenliang's posture had become noticeably straighter.
"Could it be just a psychological effect???"
Yu Wenliang cleared his throat, eager to test his other skills, such as Vocal Music.
"What kind of man are you~ What kind of man are you~"
"Still loving her~"
"But not daring~ to ask her to wait again~"
This was Jay Chou's latest song, "What Kind of Man," from his album "Aiyo, Not Bad."
The more Yu Wenliang sang, the more into it he got; many high notes he couldn't reach before he could now barely hit by straining.
But just as he sang halfway, a door slammed next door, and someone cursed while pulling up his pants:
"Are you crazy? Taking a dump and suddenly belting out a song?"
"........"
Yu Wenliang immediately shut up, blushing with embarrassment, unable to breathe.
Only after the person's footsteps faded did he breathe a sigh of relief and analyze:
"So, everything experienced in the simulator translates into rewards after the simulation ends."
"I simulated Art Examination training for a month and got these skill improvements."
"Wait a minute... I trained for a month... and that's it?"
It was certainly cool that he didn't have to train hard for simulated upgrades.
But Yu Wenliang didn't want to admit that he seemed to lack exceptional talent.
And because he hadn't been exposed to it before, he was naturally behind others and couldn't keep up with Zhou Ye's progress in the simulation at all.
"Who cares!"
"I can cheat, others can't; the advantage is mine!"
"I'll use her to farm more simulation points, and then train like crazy in the simulation. No matter how bad my talent is, getting a month's worth of practice in a day is much more efficient than others, isn't it?"
Yu Wenliang secretly thought, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river...
Moreover, during the simulation process, not only could he improve his abilities, but he also received crucial information!
"Liu Haochun."
"mou girl."
"Someone seems to have fallen in the Beijing Dance Academy Affiliated High School dance studio. I wonder who it is and if they're injured?"
Yu Wenliang recorded all these key pieces of information in his phone's memo.
He couldn't get to know the bound female celebrity in the simulation.
He could try again in reality!
Not only could he use this girl to farm rewards, but he could also get to know Lao Mouzi through her.
"It seems I must go on this trip to the capital!"
Yu Wenliang walked out of the restroom and then remembered his adoptive parents. After calling them, he predictably received their permission.
But the condition was that he must exchange contact information with Zhou Ye's sister to ensure his safety.
After Zhou Qisi finished talking with Yu Wenliang's parents and confirmed everything, she returned the phone to Yu Wenliang.
"No time to lose. Both of you complete the procedures in Hui City, and we'll depart next week."
"My studio is in the capital. I'll go back first and pick you up then."
"Bringing a phone to school, Xiao Yu, you're not being good~"
Yu Wenliang took the phone, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Sis, he's a bad student. Aren't you afraid he'll corrupt me?"
Zhou Ye added with a venomous tongue, being a bit more playful than usual when around her sister and Yu Wenliang.
Zhou Qisi put her arm around her sister and pinched her cheek, "You, you've never been able to speak properly since you were little."
"If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't feel comfortable letting you come by yourself, go to school by yourself, and take exams by yourself."
"Xiao Yu, then I'll entrust you with taking good care of my sister~"
Yu Wenliang smiled and patted his chest, "Mission accomplished, guaranteed."
"Hmph, who needs his protection..." Zhou Ye was still playing hard to get.
"You'd better not need it." Yu Wenliang retorted.
Zhou Ye's lips curled slightly, and she mimicked someone's voice, singing:
"What kind of man are you~ What kind of man are you~ Still loving her~"
Yu Wenliang instantly turned red, put his hands together, and begged Zhou Ye on his knees:
"Stop singing."
"I was wrong."
······
Seven days flew by in a flash.
Yu Wenliang and Zhou Ye flew to the capital together. Zhou Qisi picked them up upon arrival and took them, along with their luggage, to their destination.
Yingren Art Exam, the largest Art Examination training institution in the country, was built between Beijing Dance Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and other major academies.
The building's interior didn't look like a cram school but rather like a grand and spacious teaching building commonly found in universities.
Yu Wenliang pulled his suitcase, carefully observing this place he had simulated several times.
"Beijing Dance Academy is to the west, Central Academy of Drama to the east, Beijing Film Academy to the north, Zhou Ye is..."
Yu Wenliang looked back to see Zhou Ye still huffing and puffing, dragging her luggage, moving incredibly slowly.
"Hurry up, Zhou Ye! We need to register and report today, and also organize the dorm!"
"I'm slow, I'm slow!"
"I'll help you with your luggage."
"No!"
"........."
Yu Wenliang was speechless.
Zhou Ye was drenched in sweat from dragging her suitcase, but she still wouldn't let him help.
She insisted on doing it herself!
"You don't need to help me. If other classmates or teachers see us, they might misunderstand..."
Zhou Ye explained that she had a cold persona in front of strangers, keeping people at a distance.
"You're quite self-absorbed. With people coming and going, and this not being our school, there are so many beautiful girls and handsome guys here, who would care about you?"
Yu Wenliang shook his head helplessly.
Zhou Ye said nothing, just continued to drag her luggage.
Yingren Art Exam was very famous, and they were currently enrolling students. Candidates from all over the country had arrived.
The line had already formed a long queue early on. Yu Wenliang waited for Zhou Ye, ending up very far back in line.
"So many people!"
Yu Wenliang gazed into the distance, at least a hundred candidates were queuing ahead, thinking it would take a long time to wait.
Otherwise...
Should I go explore Beijing Dance Academy first?
"Zhou Ye, watch our luggage. I'll be back!"
Yu Wenliang left his suitcase on the ground, hands in his pockets, ready to slip away.
Zhou Ye asked nervously, "Where are you going?"
None of your business... Yu Wenliang wanted to retort, 'Didn't you want to pretend we don't know each other?'
But looking back, he saw Zhou Ye under the sun, drenched in sweat, her bangs plastered to her forehead.
She stood there blankly, tightly clutching both their suitcases, panic written on her usually icy face.
Because Yu Wenliang was leaving temporarily and a familiar person was gone, Zhou Ye seemed a bit lost.
He didn't expect her to be so cold, yet actually be socially anxious and so insecure...
Yu Wenliang explained, "I'm just going to the restroom. Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"
"Oh~ Okay~"
Zhou Ye nodded blankly. After Yu Wenliang left, her icy face became even more expressionless.
Several boys who wanted to strike up a conversation stopped in their tracks, sighing.
"That girl is really cold!"
On the other side.
Relying on his several simulation experiences, Yu Wenliang roughly remembered the terrain here and wandered towards the Beijing Dance Academy building.
"I remember it's around here..."
When he walked down a shaded path, Yu Wenliang saw two teenagers arguing. He stopped to watch the drama unfold.
"You said you knew the way, but we've been walking for half a day and haven't gotten there, and you made me forget my suitcase!"
"You have to be responsible for finding it for me."
"Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
The girl with a Sichuan and Chongqing accent pointed at the boy and scolded him fiercely.
Her large eyes were wide like copper bells, she had curtain bangs, and her face was delicate and sweet.
She wore blue denim shorts paired with a goose-yellow sleeveless camisole. As she argued, her camisole swayed with her ample chest.
Oh my goodness!
She looks so sweet, but she's actually so well-endowed?
However, her temper was as fiery as her personality; she must be a Sichuan and Chongqing Tyrannosaurus...
Yu Wenliang shivered at the thought. He pulled his gaze away from her fair skin and was about to continue searching for the Beijing Dance Academy mou girl when he heard the system's voice.
