The voice-activated light went out.
Song He kicked the wall alone, again and again.
Ding Yangze was awakened by the sound of kicking.
He had just opened his eyes when he saw the familiar figure reading a book in the corner across the room.

It was Song He!
He really came to study again!!
Ding Yangze instantly lost all sleepiness, rubbed his eyes hard, and opened them again to find Song He still there! The scene was truly terrifying. Ding Yangze quickly pinched his thigh to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Ah!" Ning Mo screamed in pain, waking up, "Who pinched my leg..."
Ning Mo stopped halfway, his mouth still open, his eyes staring straight ahead.
Ning Mo's pupils shook, his expression incredulous, and he stood up directly.
He really came again!
How the hell is this possible!
Ding Yangze and Ning Mo exchanged a look, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.
The horror of seeing Song He in the restroom at this moment was no different from seeing a ghost. They both thought Song He couldn't possibly appear again tonight, but now seeing him again, they couldn't help but feel the horror of actually summoning a spirit in a Ouija board game!
This studying is getting more and more exciting. Could it be that the Song He in front of them isn't a living person?
At the same time, system prompts suddenly popped up wildly in Song He's eyes.
Ding Yangze was frightened by your appearance, his worldview shattered, Resentment Value +500! Ning Mo suspects you are a dirty thing, Resentment Value +700! Ding Yangze originally thought his study time was long, but the situation suddenly reversed, and he exclaimed that he was careless, Resentment Value +900! Ning Mo's thoughts are chaotic, recalling various campus horror legends, Resentment Value +1000!
Song He was also taken aback, turning his head to look at the two by the window. They were clearly in extreme shock, their bodies stiff and motionless, not even blinking.
These days, Song He had been sprinting to study with high intensity, buying a pile of Mental Arithmetic Capsules and Deep Sleep Capsules from the System Shop, spending a lot and almost using up his accumulated Resentment Value, leaving only 1000 points.
He was still worried today about how to get more Resentment Value to ensure sufficient combat ammunition.
Now, opening the system panel, he saw the Resentment Value rising at an unprecedented speed!
4000! 4500! 5000!
Song He was overjoyed, watching the Resentment Value rise to five thousand, just enough to buy all the Deep Sleep Capsules needed before the selection exam.
Thank you, two big brothers, for the carnival!
"Song He, do you... do you study like this every day?" Ning Mo mustered up his courage to ask, "Do you study for the first half of the night, sleep for an hour, and then come back to study for the second half?"
"That's right." Song He admitted straightforwardly.
"Aren't you fucking sleepy?" Ding Yangze roared in an agitated tone, "You say you're going back to sleep every day, but after I go back to the dorm, you come back to study! Liar!"
"Old Ding, you can't slander me. I really went back to sleep for an hour! I said I was going back to sleep, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sleep forever. I still have to come back to study after waking up, right?" Song He looked puzzled.
"You wake up after only an hour?" Ning Mo's eyes were a little dull with shock, "You only sleep for an hour every day? Are you an alien! Don't you need to sleep to live?"
"My nickname is All-Night God of War, do you think it's just for show?" Song He said with a disdainful look, "How can you guys sleep at this age? Do you think you can get into the competition team without some real skills?"
"You think I'm not sleepy? That's right, I'm really not sleepy! I get energized as soon as I see the questions!" Song He smiled wickedly.
"No, even if you have strong willpower, you should at least conform to the laws of nature, right?" Ning Mo was going crazy.
"I do conform!" Song He looked innocent.
"Conform to your sister! What human being isn't sleepy after sleeping for only an hour every day!" Ning Mo collapsed, holding his head in his hands.
"The ADRB1 gene is carried by one in 25,000 people, a rare genetic mutation that halves sleep time and makes them more alert when awake than ordinary people. The DEC2 gene is a naturally mutated short-sleep gene that can cut sleep time by an hour and a half." Song He smiled dismissively, "The ABCC9 gene is even more common, many people have it, but whether this gene is expressed or not will also change sleep time."
"You... you have a genetic mutation?" Ning Mo was stunned.
"I've evolved." Song He smiled, "Like I said, I'm the All-Night God of War, not just a name."
Ning Mo and Ding Yangze were completely shocked, unable to say a word for a long time.
So there are no miracles in the world, just that they are ignorant and inexperienced. Looking at Song He's radiant complexion, it seems he really is the chosen one?!
Shock! The existence of this person in front of them is undoubtedly a huge shock to their worldview! Ning Mo and Ding Yangze both felt that their past decades of life experience had been subverted, and the phrase 'living long enough to see anything' popped into their minds for the first time.
Song He lowered his head and continued studying, a hint of a smile on his lips.
He was very curious about the working principle of the Deep Sleep Capsule, so he made a special trip to the school library two days ago to check the relevant information on short sleep, and the only clue he found was the short sleep gene he just mentioned.
Although the Deep Sleep Capsule may not work on the same principle, it was enough to fool his classmates.
Song He didn't want to be seen as a monster. He still had a long way to go with his all-night studying, so he had to come up with a scientifically sound and reasonable explanation to avoid being pushed into the spotlight of public opinion.
Ding Yangze feels fear towards your potential, Resentment Value +500! Ning Mo regards you as a terrifying enemy, Resentment Value +500!
Song He looked up, the two top patrons had already moved their chairs out of the toilet, apparently realizing they couldn't stay up and decisively retreated to sleep.
The Resentment Value had accumulated to 6000 points, which felt like a windfall!
If he earns a little more in the next few days, it will be enough to buy Mental Arithmetic Capsules and Deep Sleep Capsules before the selection exam, and there should be some left over.
Song He's mind raced. Since he was flush with points, why not go for a thrilling ten-draw?
With a determined bite, he spent 1000 Resentment Value, and the Black Technology Lottery turntable started!
Congratulations on obtaining "Mental Arithmetic Capsule" ×1! Congratulations on obtaining "Mental Arithmetic Capsule" ×1!
Sure enough, it started giving out the lowest-end Mental Arithmetic Capsules again.
But it's not a loss, each ten-draw has two bonus draws, even if all of them are Mental Arithmetic Capsules, it's equivalent to buying 12 pills for 1000 Resentment Value, which is a little cheaper than buying them individually in the System Shop, a small discount.
Especially Mental Arithmetic Capsules, Song He's demand for them is increasing. He eats them like candy while doing problems. Although they are low-end and cheap, they are essential supplies.
Soon, the results of the first ten draws came out, ten Mental Arithmetic Capsules, which he put in his pocket for later use.
The bonus draw round is the real lottery!
This ten-draw has earned two bonus draw chances! The lottery turntable continues to spin. Congratulations on obtaining "Brain Neuron Growth Capsule" ×1! Congratulations on obtaining "Combat Power Detector Purchase Qualification", now available in the System Shop!
"Wow, the drop rate is really high!" Song He was pleasantly surprised, he actually got two new things!
A golden capsule appeared in his palm, and as he focused his gaze, system subtitles popped up.
Rare Item: Brain Neuron Growth Capsule Price: Purchase permission not yet open Effect: After consumption, it can promote the production of more dendrites and axons in brain neurons, slightly reduce thinking energy consumption, slightly increase thinking speed, slightly delay brain aging, and slightly increase intelligence.
Song He seriously suspected that the system was a drug dealer, as the items it gave were all small capsules of various colors.
But the quality of the drugs was heaven-defying, pure black technology drugs.
While eating the golden capsule in his hand, Song He couldn't help but fantasize:
If he were to start a pharmaceutical company in the future and reverse-engineer the drugs given by the system, even if he only replicated the lowest-level Mental Arithmetic Capsule, he would probably be able to kick Pfizer and punch Johnson & Johnson! Just relying on this one capsule, it wouldn't be a problem to become the world's pharmaceutical hegemon!
He opened the System Shop to check the other lottery prize.
Combat Power Detector!
The system introduction popped up, and Song He's eyes became excited.
This thing came just in time, but the price was a bit kidney-wrenching.
