Mei Gets Up in the Middle of the Night

Liu Bai chuckled, "Although I feel that the contrast between glasses and cuteness is best left unsaid... cough cough, sorry, I'm getting off topic."

Liu Bai! What the hell are you talking about with a third-grade little girl?

"In short, Mei, you just need to stay the way you are now." Liu Bai quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"Like this now?"

Why maintain the status quo when there's a possibility of improvement?

This is a bit hard for Mei, who is still in elementary school, to understand.

"Yes, this is enough. I think it's great. If we push it too hard, it might backfire."

Liu Bai thought for a moment and said, "Of course, if you're willing to spend half an hour or even an hour getting ready every day, then disregard what I said."

"... Yes, it's better to maintain the status quo."

Just thinking about what Liu Bai said made Mei feel like she couldn't accept it.

Even if you have a lot of time, you can't waste it like this.

My schedule was already quite tight due to studying, and now with martial arts training, my schedule will obviously be even tighter.

There's no time to spend dressing up at a time like this.

After that, the conversation between the two came to an end. After all, given Mei's current state, it was best to concentrate on taking a bath.

If he really fell into the vat... although since Liu Bai was nearby, there was definitely no danger.

However, it was obviously embarrassing, and as a little girl, Mei still had some sense of shame.

Speaking of which... I feel a little hungry?

Mei touched her belly.

... Is it because you exercised a lot tonight?

Mei shook her head, not caring. Although her family was well-off, she wasn't the kind of pampered little girl. After all, the hunger wasn't too intense, and she could just endure it. She couldn't possibly ask the doctor to cook for her because of something like this, could she?

[Compatibility +10%]

Chapter 118 Mei Gets Up in the Middle of the Night

So, by this calculation, Liu Bai has now figured out how to arrange the two... oh no, the three kids in this simulation.

Subsequent arrangements were made based on an understanding of these individuals.

During the day, Liu Bai manages to keep an eye on Kevin and Su, those two troublemakers. He doesn't care much about Su, as he can't control him. The main concern is Kevin. Liu Bai's job now is to make sure Kevin attends class properly and to find time to tutor Kevin as well.

Liu Bai obviously didn't need to worry about Mei's classes.

As for the evenings, Liu Bai was too lazy to deal with Kevin and Su, those two naughty kids. During this time, he mainly taught Mei knowledge and, incidentally, martial arts.

The Previous Era at this point in time was still peaceful, so these kids only needed to go to school.

There's not much to say about the simulation.

After these days, the compatibility between the two sides is now 50% for Mei and 30% for Kevin.

Mei's compatibility will steadily increase as long as she answers questions and resolves doubts, while Kevin's compatibility... needs to be presented as "handsome".

... In some ways, this personality trait is quite pronounced.

However, it's worth mentioning that the "battle" between Sue and Kevin has already begun.

"Junior brother? What was your ranking in the whole class this time?"

Kevin hooked his arm around Sue's shoulder and asked in a cheeky tone.

"Third, junior brother, what about you?" Su glanced at Kevin. The two of them were really talking past each other now, neither willing to admit defeat.

"So-so, tenth place."

Kevin sighed dramatically.

"This time I improved from 30th to 10th in the class. At this rate, I should be number one in the class next. Look at you, you only moved up a few places this time? One, right? Su, your improvement speed is not good."

"..."

Is this the algorithm used for your upgrade?

Even though she knew Kevin was trying to anger her, Sue's fists still hardened involuntarily.

You bastard, if I could beat you, you'd be lying on the ground right now.

"... Anyway, congratulations."

Although he wanted to punch that smug grin off his face, Su was still very happy about his best friend's progress.

Moreover, although it was just in the top ten, it still met the minimum requirements for learning martial arts.

"Hey, let's put that aside for now, shall we go play a game of ball?"

Kevin whistled.

"I concede."

Sue had absolutely no intention of competing with Kevin in this regard.

Although he hadn't slacked off in his training these past few days, as Kevin's childhood friend, Su had a general idea of how much stronger Kevin's physical abilities were than his own.

Despite training for so long, he still had absolutely no confidence in beating Kevin in this aspect.

Moreover, Kevin climbed into the top ten much faster than he had imagined. After Kevin started training... if that's the case, wouldn't he have no chance to turn things around?

Is it too late to betray my sect now?

I absolutely refuse to call Kevin, that bastard, "senior brother"!

"It's worth a try."

Liu Bai spoke up, "Su might be even stronger than he thinks he is now."

Liu Bai had seen quite a few powerful figures before, and Su's current physique was already showing signs of becoming quite formidable.

Although his physical fitness may not be as good as Kevin's, his skills may not be inferior to Kevin's.

"Okay! The teacher said to give it a try."

Kevin immediately pinned Sue down.

"Besides, can't we have fun if we're not competing? You weren't this fussy before."

"I can walk by myself! Put me down!"

The match between the two ended quickly.

The final result was Kevin with 7 goals and Suarez with 5 goals.

"... The results of your workout are really quite obvious."

Kevin stroked his chin with an air of superiority, sizing up his best friend.

"It kept up with my beat perfectly, which startled me."

"What's the use? In the end, I still couldn't keep up with my strength." Su sat on the ground, panting.

"Isn't visible progress good enough?" Kevin was slightly out of breath, but clearly still able to stand. "Is the effect really that obvious?"

"I think as long as you don't work out half the time... you can do anything."

Sue still had a lot of confidence in Kevin's talent.

"Hey, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"What do you think? If the teacher didn't supervise you in class every day, you'd probably be dozing off again by now, right?"

"How could I be so terrible?"

"I hit someone twelve times today... Kevin, guess why I hit him twelve times?" Liu Bai challenged without hesitation.

"Slept three times, passed notes to Su four times, pulled comic books out from under the table four times, stared out the window in a daze once..."

"Wait, wait, wait! Teacher, how do you remember this so clearly?"

"Ah, because I made it up," Liu said without batting an eye.

This way of making jokes in a serious manner was learned from Einstein.

"But at least you think this number is about right, right?"

"Well, that seems to be true." Kevin shrank back. "Twelve times does seem like a lot."

"Twelve? To be honest, that number is much less than I expected." Su also took the opportunity to expose Kevin's shortcomings. "As far Kevin never paying attention in class."

"... It's really unfair to be looked down upon," Kevin said indignantly. "If you had a ghost in class every day..."

"Um?"

"Ahem, I mean you have a respected teacher supervising you every day, and you study diligently."

"Although I really can't agree with your so-called seriousness, well, at least you've made progress, and progress can't be denied."

Liu Bai praised Kevin.

"Now I will teach you the basics of swordsmanship."

"By the way, teacher, should I get a sword now? A longsword? A greatsword? Or something else?" Kevin asked excitedly.

"... A light wooden sword will do, don't even think about a normal sword. You're only in third grade, don't think too much about it."

Liu Bai could tell at a glance what this little brat was thinking.

It's nothing more than achieving instant success and becoming a peerless hero.

Liu Bai turned his head and told Su to keep a close eye on Kevin. If Kevin got carried away, he wouldn't be any worse than a husky.

Although Su is somewhat impulsive at heart, she is still quite composed in normal situations.

"I understand, I will keep a close eye on Kevin."

Su Yi readily agreed.

"However, should I excuse myself here for the time being? After all, you're the one teaching Kevin..."

No need, most of the basics are common, and I don't mind if you verify each other's work.

The reason I sent Kevin away when I was teaching Su last time was mainly because Liu Bai had previously said that he wouldn't teach Kevin if he didn't get into the top ten.

Now, it doesn't matter anymore. The basic training is all the same, so it's fine to just look at it. Only when you get to a more advanced level will you see obvious differences.

As always, Liu Bai straightened Kevin's body and taught him the basic movements step by step.

"Go back and do these things, exercise moderately, and spend more time with Su when you have free time."

Liu Bai gave a final reminder.

"Don't worry, don't worry... I understand all of this."

It's because of your silly face that I'm worried...

"I'm back."

Compared to Sue and Kevin, who always wanted to play at school for a while, Mei always got home very quickly.

After all, from a certain perspective, the school is already limiting Mei's potential...

However, following the established procedures has its advantages, and besides, with Liu Bai by my side now, there's no need to worry about such a small problem.

"Do you have any questions for me today?"

"That's all for today. I've already learned everything in that textbook."

Mei said casually, and only then did Liu Bai realize that Mei hadn't been reading today.

Although Mei's statement is a bit too definitive, it's understandable considering it's Mei.

"So what do you want to learn next?"

"I would like to hear your opinion on this, Doctor."

Mei adjusted her glasses—the little girl's gesture was unexpectedly adorable.
