"Nine dishes, madman, are you trying to turn depression into appetite?"
Best friend Dong Wende's eyes widened when he saw the nine dishes on the dining table in front of Chu Zhou.
The meals given to them in the school cafeteria contain high-energy substances.
Under normal circumstances, two dishes are enough for them to feel full.
Dong Wende prides himself on being a foodie, but he can only eat three dishes at most.
Nine dishes were enough to burst his round belly, and his body couldn't digest so much energy.
"Madman, are you okay?" Dong Wende reached out and touched Chu Zhou's forehead, "You don't have a fever! Could it be that you have a mental problem?"
"It is said that when some people are hit, or feel depressed or anxious, they will seek relief through overeating..."
"...The poor madman must be like this because he has to be replaced by Jin Zhennan in his recommended quota..."
"What a sin! You got such a disease at such a young age!"
Dong Wende lamented and sympathized, looking like he couldn't bear to see Chu Zhou seriously ill.
"Damn you, fat man, you have so many dramas!" Chu Zhou rolled his eyes and angrily slapped away Dong Wende's palm on his forehead, "Have you forgotten that I am a senior apprentice?"
Dong Wende was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "By the way, I almost forgot that you are a senior apprentice."
"The gastrointestinal and digestive functions of senior apprentices are much stronger than those of junior and intermediate apprentices. Eating more seems to be nothing."
"But this is too much for you!"
Chu Zhou ignored his best friend Dong Wende and started eating directly.
Diamond rice with finger-sized grains, golden leeks, purple moon melon filled with faint purple light...
These are high-energy foods born after the Cataclysm.
These high-energy foods are actually not easy to grow and obtain.
The school has preferential policies to provide students with so much high-energy food at very low prices.
Outside of school, many poor people mainly eat synthetic nutrition bars to satisfy their hunger. On important days, they will buy some ordinary vegetables and meat...
As for high-energy foods, they are too expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
A dish!
Two dishes!
Three dishes!
Chu Zhou quickly finished the three dishes, but at this time, he was actually full and satisfied his body's needs.
But, he still didn't stop.
Eat eat eat!
The remaining six dishes were eaten by him like a gust of wind.
At this time, he also felt that his stomach was full and he could not eat anything anymore.
Dong Wende was so stunned when he saw Chu Zhou's starving state that he even forgot to eat.
"I wonder how many attribute points this meal can increase!"
Chu Zhou thought to himself, staring at the attribute panel that only he could see.
At the same time, his intestines and stomach move quickly to digest food.
A large amount of energy is continuously replenished into the body to meet the body's needs.
Under Chu Zhou's gaze, the value of attribute points on the attribute panel finally began to increase.
"0.01!"
"0.01!"
"0.01!"
…
Attribute points are increasing at a growth rate of 0.01.
The time it takes for an average human to digest a meal of mixed meat and vegetable food is about 3 hours.
It only took Chu Zhou half an hour to digest it all, and the food he digested was still high-energy food.
In the end, this meal added 0.15 attribute points to him.
"Even if I am a senior apprentice, the digestive capacity of my intestines and stomach is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but there is a limit... If I eat too much, I am afraid that it will damage my intestines and stomach, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"In this case, it is most appropriate to maintain three meals a day."
"One meal will increase your attributes by 0.15 points. Three meals a day will increase your attributes by 0.45 points."
"If it's 10 days, it's 4.5 attribute points. Then if it's 30 days in a month, it's 13.5 attribute points."
"Increase 13.5 attribute points in one month, plus the original 2 attribute points, which is 15.5 attribute points."
"When the curved hand knife is upgraded from mastery level to micro level, it consumes 2 attribute points... 15.5 attribute points, which should be enough to upgrade the curved hand knife to perfect level, or even artistic conception level."
"Even, maybe there are remaining attribute points to upgrade the basic breathing method to one level."
After a simple calculation, Chu Zhou was slightly happy and excited.
If the plan goes well, he can upgrade the curved hand knife to the artistic conception level in a month.
In that case, not only can he easily crush Jin Zhennan in the Elite Trial, but it is not impossible to even reach the top ten in the Elite Trial.
Even reached the top three in the Elite Trial!
"I heard that the top three in the elite trial will receive an extremely precious reward - gene potion!"
"Gene potion is a precious medicine that helps humans unlock genetic locks and transform into warriors."
"A bottle of gene potion has a market price of 10 million alliance coins... Moreover, it is still available on the market but not at a price, so it is impossible to buy it."
"Even if you are admitted to a martial arts university, it will be very difficult to obtain gene potions."
"Now, there is an opportunity in front of me to obtain gene potion..."
Chu Zhou thought like this, and suddenly an astonishing ambition arose in his heart.
In the past, he would never have dared to have such ambitions.
The rewards for the top three in the elite trial are extremely tempting, but... no one from their fifth high school has been in the top ten for decades, let alone the top three.
Jiangcheng No. 1 High School is where martial arts geniuses are concentrated.
In the past few decades, the top ten in every elite trial have been basically filled by students from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.
Occasionally, students from other high schools break into the top ten.
But the top three are always from No. 1 High School.
Chu Zhou only dared to have such an ambition after he calculated that he would have the opportunity to upgrade the curved hand knife to the artistic conception level in a month's time.
"...However, there is still a problem to be solved now."
"If I eat like this every day, my food expenses will not be enough!"
Under normal circumstances, he usually eats two dishes for a meal.
One month's food expenses are approximately 1,000 alliance coins.
But now that he eats nine dishes per meal, his consumption per meal is a little more than four times as much as before.
Then, his monthly food expenses immediately soared to more than 4,000 alliance coins.
The balance in his student card is only over 900.
This is obviously not enough.
"My father's monthly salary is 3,000 alliance coins. In addition to maintaining the family's daily expenses, he also has to support my sister and me in school. There is basically no money left."
"I have to find a way to make money myself..."
Chu Zhou had a headache and was thinking about any part-time job suitable for him that could earn him more than 3,000 yuan a month.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked at his best friend Dong Wende.
It's hard to find a part-time job that pays 3,000 alliance coins a month...but "raising investment" doesn't seem to be difficult.
Right in front of you, there is a very suitable "investment" target.
"Old Dong...how is our relationship?"
Chu Zhou smiled "friendly" at his best friend Dong Wende.
"Pfft..." Dong Wende, who was eating, saw Chu Zhou's "friendly" smile and shuddered all over, spitting out a mouthful of rice, "Madman... you, you smile so cheaply, what do you want to do to me?"
