"No way, this is so cool! "THIS IS AMAZING," said Yuze.
His heart was on the verge of exploding from happiness and excitement. This was a wish come true for Yuze.
Yuze lost all rationality and kept running around from happiness.
'I'm going to be someone in life, utilizing wonderful abilities; yeah, I really want to emerge when people have lost all hope and are staring at my back like those protagonists.'
Yuze almost passed out from joy.
"I've got to stop," said Yuze, with a face that was trying to suppress happiness.
'But what exactly does this system do? It appears to be about status.'
'I'll go to sleep and figure it out tomorrow.'
As Yuze quietly opened the door and entered, his dad was waiting for him inside.
"I know it's been hard for you the past few hours, but as a man you should move on and strive to be better. Learn from your mistakes and make better decisions. Don't let this drag you down," said Jingyi Haoyu.
"Yeah..."
...
Yuze couldn't sleep all night. The entire night, he couldn't stop thinking about the system. His anticipation would not allow him to sleep.
Eventually, he fell asleep from his exhaustion, but he was suddenly awoken by a notification. Yuze woke up to find a blue translucent had been activated.

'What's the + , - for?'
Yuze mentally pressed the + button for 5 seconds.
[Extremely Low Body Recovery: Regenerates 0.5 health and stamina points every minute. Duration: ∞] (-)
Yuze's heart began to beat twice as fast, he stared into space for a few seconds, and then a broad grin came on his face. Yuze was struggling not to shout, his joy was out of this world.
'I can turn status duration into infinity NO WAY!!!!!!!!'
The absurdity of this system made him want to laugh out of amazement. How could such a thing exist?
Yuze passed out of excitement just as he was thinking of the things he could do with it.
...
Another day had dawned, bringing with it new hopes and aspirations for young martial artists.
The scent of cooking woke Yuze up.
Yuze jumped out of bed.

"IT WASN'T A DREAM!" shouted Yuze
"Why are you shouting so early in the morning?" yelled his Mom.
"My bad."
'Does that mean I don't need to sleep anymore? Then why did I fall asleep? Was it because of injuries?'
'That makes sense; we sleep because we need to gradually recover; since I am recovering without having to sleep, my body will not need to increase melatonin, thus I won't have to sleep until I have sustained enough harm.'
'Or I might have already had an increase in melatonin, which might have caused me to fall asleep.'
"Whatever the reason, there's no need to think about it anymore. I'll go down and eat."
His dad packed his food and went to work, so it was just him and his mother eating.
[Consumed 1 egg and steamed bun. Added Status: Satiety.]
[Satiety: Restore 1 stamina per minute. Duration: 30 minutes] (- +)
Yuze mentally held the button for 5 seconds.
[Satiety: Restore 1 stamina per minute. Duration: ∞] (-)
'I don't have to eat anymore; unless my output surpasses my input, I'll have to eat or rest.'
'My goal now is to leave the mortal world and join a sect, and start my path to immortality.'
'How will I do that? Should I go to the forest and eat everything till I get a useful boost and try to win in the next competition?'
'What are the chances of finding anything useful? Besides, I might encounter danger. What should I do?'
'I have a cheat, but I have no way to use it. It's so frustrating.'
'Oh wait, I have a skill called appraisal... I'll go around the city and try to find something with the appraisal skill; that's the only thing I can do.'
"Mom, I'm going out."
"Why?"
"I want to go around the city."
"Alright, don't do anything dangerous."
...
This city is called "Rain City" because of how much it rains.
Its population was around 20 million. Yes, that's right, a single city has 20 million, it just shows how large this world is.
After 4 hours, Yuze was getting restless, he found nothing, this was a mortal city after all.
'Should I try to cultivate myself? How did the people at the beginning figure it out? There must be a way.'
'The competition is still going on.'
'Should I just enter under a different name? There is no way they would remember me after seeing thousands of students, right? No, they should have thought of something this simple.'
'Oh, what if I become a servant there, maybe I could gain something.'
'WHAT SHOULD I DO?'
"The only option I have right now is to enter the forest and risk getting killed for a small chance of finding something useful."
Around noon, Yuze was going through the forest, eating random plants, all of which were poisonous or did nothing. Poison did nothing to him since he could just press the minus button for 5 seconds and it would disappear.
'Should I try to bribe the gatekeeper to let me try once more? Even if I do so, how am I going to pass the test?'
Yuze decided to go back home and think of another way to proceed.
...
Yuze was laying in bed thinking of a plan.
'Should I just train for the next competition? Tomorrow Is the last day till they stop accepting competitors.'
'Yeah, how am I going to beat them if they've trained for years and I slacked off, these few boosts aren't going to do anything.'
'I'll train till the next competition, I have around a year to train.'
"With the boost's I should be able to catch up."
