"Dao School shouldn't have any issues, right?"
Zhou Bai furrowed his brow, but the series of events that had occurred since he arrived in this world kept him on alert. He cautiously entered the room.
Once inside the room, he saw a white furball lying on the ground—it was Christina.
Zhou Bai immediately released his Primordial Spirit power, scanning the entire room.
After finding no ambush, he picked Christina up and patted her head, asking, "Christina? What's going on? Why are you lying on the ground?"
The M-shaped grey pattern on Christina's forehead wrinkled as she groggily woke up.
She stared at Zhou Bai with wide eyes, confused: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Bai: "You fell asleep, didn't you realize? And the door was open when I came back."
Christina paused for a moment, her eyes showing a trace of thought and recollection: "I remember I was practicing the basic Breathing Technique to enhance my Primordial Spirit power, and then..."
Her eyes widened: "I fell asleep just like that?"
Zhou Bai walked to his desk and picked up a piece of paper from it, saying: "It looks like someone did come in."
On the paper, two large red characters were written.
"Caution."
"Caution?" Zhou Bai questioned: "Be careful of who? Be careful of what? I've only been here for a short while. I shouldn't have offended anyone, right?"
Christina's cat head popped out from Zhou Bai's shoulder. Looking at the words on the paper, she sneered: "Humph, they even dared to knock me out and come in? Damn it, I need to get stronger! Zhou Bai! Hurry and get me a more powerful Breathing Technique book. I want to increase my Primordial Spirit power to 99! I want to unlock the divine diagram!"
Zhou Bai rubbed his chin, crumpled the paper, and tossed it into a nearby trash can.
Now, it was impossible to figure out who it was. They could only wait and see.
"The most urgent task is to improve my cultivation."
In just over ten days, Zhou Bai had faced countless dangers, constantly feeling the heavy pressure on his shoulders.
And now, it seemed that the Dao School wasn't as safe as he had previously thought.
"Worrying is useless, continue training. Only with enough strength can one turn passive situations into active ones."
With this in mind, a determined look flashed in Zhou Bai's eyes. He lay down on a nearby sofa and said to Christina: "Tina, help me mop the floor."
Christina's cat ears twitched, showing displeasure: "No time, don't bother me while I'm cultivating."
"Don't you want the Breathing Technique?" Zhou Bai said: "If you help me with more housework tonight, letting me accumulate some lazy value, I'll get you a Breathing Technique book tomorrow. Deal?"
Christina's tail began to sway. Though she was reluctant to do housework, her current breathing cultivation to enhance her Primordial Spirit power was indeed quite lacking. If she had a better Breathing Technique, improving efficiency five to ten times was possible.
With this thought, Christina stood up reluctantly: "I can't win against you. As always, it seems everything still depends on me."
Zhou Bai lay on the sofa, directing Christina to do housework, cleaning every part of the room she could.
Lazy value +1
Lazy value +1
...
Lazy value +1
It continued until midnight, when, with nothing else to do, Christina curled up and began cultivating her Primordial Spirit value.
Watching Christina's body rise and fall slightly with her breathing, Zhou Bai, lying on the sofa, mused: "This cat is really diligent. I can't fall behind."
Zhou Bai continued lying on the sofa. After midnight, when a new day started, he quickly received 200 points of lazy value for a new day of lying down.
Daoization degree: 0%
Primordial Spirit value: 99
Divine diagram: Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man
Lazy value: 660
After checking his lazy value, Zhou Bai looked at the next star point on the Taiyin Roulette.
Buzhou - Base: Improves the body's adaptability to spiritual energy. As long as one can come into contact with spiritual energy, it enhances the body's recovery speed, slightly boosts strength and burst power.
Cultivation method: (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Lazy value (0/600)
"Great! That's enough." Zhou Bai saw this and smiled slightly, instantly injecting 600 points of lazy value into it.
Boom! A tremendous noise seemed to erupt from his body as Zhou Bai's entire body trembled swiftly.
Zhou Bai felt as if his entire body was being continuously crushed and reassembled. Every moment, it was being rapidly forged, progressing towards some form of strength enhancement.
Every muscle fiber, every nerve seemed to be accelerating in time, becoming more robust and resilient at a visible speed.
Only after twenty minutes did the changes in Zhou Bai's body gradually stop. He kneeled on the ground, gasping for breath.
"So tired." Zhou Bai slowly stood up. Although the lazy value allowed him to quickly complete the second star point's cultivation, it was a rapid way of training that greatly consumed his physical and mental energy. After finishing, it only left him feeling exhausted, not in top shape.
After a brief rest, Zhou Bai felt his stamina gradually recovering.
He tried moving his body, jumping slightly, and throwing a few punches.
"I don't feel like my strength has increased much. But then again, it primarily boosts the body's recovery speed... it should include stamina and injury recovery."
Zhou Bai thought for a moment and then threw a punch. The friction of his clothes and the air created a crisp sound.
He continued to throw consecutive punches, and amidst the crackling sounds, Zhou Bai's fists grew faster and faster, almost appearing as a series of afterimages. After hundreds of punches, his arms finally felt sore and his breathing gradually became labored.
As he stopped, Zhou Bai walked around while breathing heavily.
Christina's fur fluttered from his breath, indicating that his lung capacity had also significantly increased.
After a few steps, Zhou Bai felt his stamina mostly recovered and couldn't help but exclaim: "Recovery speed has indeed greatly increased. I was clearly very tired just now."
Enjoying the benefits of constant improvement, Zhou Bai immediately looked at the next star point.
Buzhou - Skin: Changes the nature of the skin, enhancing the epidermis's resistance to strikes.
Cultivation method: (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Lazy value (0/1200)
Looking at the 1200 points of lazy value required, Zhou Bai frowned: 'The required lazy value is increasing. From 300 to 600 to 1200, it's doubling each time.'
Zhou Bai checked his auxiliary system interface, and there were only 60 lazy points left, which were not enough for training.
"Just relying on lying down and Christina is too slow. I need to find a faster way to accumulate lazy points."
As he thought about this, Zhou Bai felt a constant growling in his stomach, bringing a wave of hunger.
"So hungry..." Zhou Bai thought: 'The Dao School's cafeteria is open 24 hours to accommodate cultivators, right?'
Glancing at Christina, who was cultivating, and Elsa, who was lying on the ground watching him,
Zhou Bai said: "I'll take a walk outside and be right back. If you get tired, go to sleep first."
