Ji Zhixing returned home and took a quick shower.
The warm water washed over his body, carrying away the day's exhaustion.
He changed into clean clothes, went to the living room, and settled comfortably onto the sofa. Picking up his phone, he checked the news.
"Rain City University has concluded this year's admissions. According to reports, the university admitted a total of 3,500 new students this year."
"Of these, 232 have fused with third-tier genes, while seventeen have fused with fourth-tier genes. In addition, for the first time in three years, Rain City University has admitted another freshman who has fused with a fifth-tier gene."
"The student's name is Cao Zhenxing, and he has fused with the fifth-tier heavenly river blackwater turtle gene."
Ji Zhixing's gaze flickered when he read about the freshman who had fused with a fifth-tier gene.
"A fifth-tier heavenly river blackwater turtle gene... I wonder when I'll be able to evolve my Three-Inch Stone Monkey Gene to that level."
Ji Zhixing shook his head.
Then he checked Rain City University's official website and discovered that if he wanted to enroll this year, he would have to evolve his Three-Inch Stone Monkey Gene within ten days.
Rain City University's term would officially begin ten days from now.
All the freshmen would enroll together then.
"Ten days should be enough, right?"
Ji Zhixing took a deep breath, read a few more news items, then got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Over the past few days, whenever he had time, he would have dinner ready before his parents and younger sister came home.
The chopped vegetables lay neatly on the cutting board, and the oil in the pan was already hot, sizzling away.
