Will Die
With the Star Lord's Blessing, the milk tea and supplements they had looted, and old Mr. Bai Yanbing constantly teaching them National College Entrance Examination material from the side, the Heaven Origin students had all their indicators maxed out and began studying at high intensity.
They trained their muscles while walking, listened to lectures while training, and when they grew tired of listening, they switched the Exoskeleton Puppets to automatic walking mode and went to sleep.
