As Lu Zhou left the System Space, his consciousness plunged into darkness before he could react.
Only then did he remember that he had taken his last Focus Capsule before entering the System Space...
When Lu Zhou woke again, it was already the next morning.
Unlike his previous all-night study marathons, he had slept quite well this time. For one thing, he had fallen asleep early. For another, his head had landed right on his book.
The only blemish was a small patch of drool from the corner of his mouth that had soaked the last page of Introduction to IC Design.
Fortunately, it wasn't too noticeable. In weather this hot, a couple of minutes in the sun would probably dry it out.
"Staying up all night grinding through books is no way to live." Lu Zhou stretched his aching back.
It was seven in the morning, and the teaching building was still nearly empty. Through the window, he could see plenty of people jogging on the track.
He had packed a towel and toothbrush, so Lu Zhou first washed up at a sink in the restroom, then headed to the cafeteria in the glow of the rising sun.
As always, he bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk. Sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, Lu Zhou browsed his phone as he ate breakfast.
He started with Weibo. The trending searches were all about celebrities, which didn't interest him much, so he stopped after browsing for a while. His follower count... didn't seem to have changed much either. It was still in the tens of thousands, about where it had been the last time he made the trending list.
After a quick look at the news, Lu Zhou closed Weibo and logged into the developer dashboard.
