Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Monday, evening self-study during the break.

High school days are still so peaceful.

In the back row, Ma Shicheng is swiping the screen, browsing Android game forums, looking for some fun Android games. As he plays more games, his taste becomes increasingly picky, unsatisfied with ordinary games.

Wang Longlong looks on: "Many high-quality indie games are on PC platforms, it seems like there aren't many great mobile games."

Ma Shicheng replies: "Mobile games are where the money is, no one makes buyout games."

As the two chat leisurely, Wang Longlong keeps an eye on all suspicious figures appearing outside the window.

For students with their grades, getting caught playing on their phone inevitably leads to confiscation.

Thinking of this, Wang Longlong glances at Jiang Ning in the front row, openly playing on his tablet without any fear of teachers noticing.

"La di da la~" Cui Yu hums a tune, walking with a swag, brimming with confidence.

Being the back row monitor, Wang Longlong hollers: "Yo, Brother Yu, ran into something good? You're quite cheerful!"

"Hey!" Cui Yu grins widely, his gaze sweeps past Brother Ma, his eyes suddenly darting.

"Brother Ma, I have a question to ask." Cui Yu's date tonight is crucial, he needs to gather all his resources to handle it.

"Go ahead."

Cui Yu begins to elaborate: "I'm asking for my friend, so my friend chatted with a girl online, they're meeting tonight, how can my friend make the girl stay over?"

Before Wang Longlong can even react in shock, he sees Miao Zhe at the south end of the classroom tremble all over, casting his gaze over.

Only then does Wang Longlong say: "Whoa, your friend progressing that fast?"

Cui Yu is full of pride: "Haha, my friend is quite good at chatting."

Thinking of the selfie the girl sent last night, Cui Yu can't help but show off. He was chatting deep into the night alone last night, reaching this stage, Cui Yu no longer wants Meng Gui involved.

He wants to monopolize this girl.

Wang Longlong suggests: "After the date, invite her over to your place?"

Love makes one walk on thin ice, even someone as shameless as Cui Yu hesitates: "Isn't that too direct?"

Guo Kunnan advises: "Then say your friend's cat can do backflips."

Hu Jun: "Hey, that's too cliché, say your friend's cat wants to see her do backflips."

Cui Yu's mouth twitches, "What?"

He says: "Guys, help me think of something, I don't want her to go home tonight."

Wang Longlong: "Really strange, you were just talking about your friend, now you're saying it's you?"

Miao Zhe listens for a while, as it touches on his concern about online love, he expresses his feelings: "Don't you love her, just want for a night?"

As he says this, Miao Zhe's expression is solemn. In his mind, online love is a pure soul connection, without any impurity.

Cui Yu: "Yeah, I just want her to stay the night."

Miao Zhe's expression changes, suddenly feeling different from Cui Yu.

Ma Shicheng says: "I don't have any good advice, but I suggest being genuine, telling her what you really want to say."

"I just want her to come over to my place for a while." Cui Yu repeats.

Hu Jun: "How about this, tell her it's so late, you're reluctant to go home alone."

...

While they were chatting here, Zhang Chi went to the front row, intending to show off to Jiang Ning.

But seeing him engrossed in playing on the iPad, Zhang Chi feels his phone won't cut it. He decides to wait until he gets an iPad, then show off and outshine Jiang Ning.

So Zhang Chi changes his target.

He intentionally seeks out the elite group in the class, Huang Zhongfei and Dong Qingfeng.

Dong Qingfeng was chatting with Jiang Yanan and the others when Zhang Chi suddenly swoops in, looking troubled:

"Qingfeng, I heard you also use Apple, can I ask you why Apple's battery isn't that great?"

Dong Qingfeng: "It's okay, my Apple battery lasts alright."

Zhang Chi acts surprised, pulling out his phone: "You're using the iPhone 6 Plus too?"

Dong Qingfeng takes out the same model phone: "Yeah, do you have any questions?"

Zhang Chi secretly curses: 'Damn, how does this guy have so much money?'

His expression returns to normal: "No problem, maybe I just use my phone a lot."

He's ready to back off.

Dong Qingfeng isn't an ordinary student, he's mastered the skill of reading people after years of multi-tasking with girls.

Capable of working part-time as a real estate agent to sell houses during holidays, he has already seen through Zhang Chi's intentions.

He takes out another iPhone 6: "If the battery isn't enough, you could buy another one. Don't tell me you only bought this one?"

Zhang Chi angrily leaves, deciding to go back and try hard at treasure hunting.

...

Last class of the evening.

This class was supposed to be for self-study, everyone was ready for a good time, but Gao Heshuai ended up taking over the self-study period.

He handed out a test paper, making everyone do the questions, then stationed himself at the podium.

This suddenly made the atmosphere in the classroom heavy.

Liu Chuandao's practice progress was delayed.

Compared to others, Wu Xiaoqi is the true powerhouse, sitting on his bench, reviewing last week's junior high school basketball league.

In that match, he won the MVP award and led the team to victory, washing away the first stain in his life.

Thinking about it makes Wu Xiaoqi shiver, eager to reenact the exciting match, dancing with hands and feet at his seat, resembling a mental patient.

Gao Heshuai at the podium is furious.

His expression is disdainful, carrying a tone of sarcasm.

Suddenly, a voice echoes in the students' ears in the classroom, "You students are so naive, I want you to study well, yet you sneer."
