Chapter 5: Always Feeling Good

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

It was midsummer night, and the heat was unbearable.

Inside the gym, it was like a huge sauna.

Gao Haoran, the little fatty, had long been steamed into a “waterman”.

Sweat ran down his forehead like rain, obscuring his eyes and making it difficult for him to keep them open.

Gao Haoran wiped his sweat and glanced out of the window.

The outside of the gym was brightly lit. In addition, all the windows were wide open. Gao Haoran saw Lin Mo standing at the window.

“Holy sh*t!!”

Seeing what Lin Mo was holding, Gao Haoran’s round eyes widened several times its normal size.

“Kebabs!”

“Beer!”

“Damn! And lamb skewers!?”

Gao Haoran couldn’t help but salivate.

‘Is that a human thing to do?’

‘Is that something a man could do?’

‘I’m in here sweating. You’re out there eating skewers and drinking beer?’

‘What happened to brotherhood?’

The other students in the gym also seemed to sense something and looked out the window.

Immediately, the entire stadium was filled with the sound of gulping!

“What an animal!”

“How shameless!”

“We’re working ourselves to death in here and you’re eating barbecue in front of us?”

“Where’s your morality?”

“Do you still have a conscience?”

“The joys and sorrows of mankind are indeed not interlinked!”

The hundreds of students in the sprint class cursed Lin Mo in their hearts dozens of times. If you had any integrity, you shouldn’t be eating skewers and drinking in front of us!

It could only be said that he had no morals!

Even the prep teacher sensed that something was wrong and turned to look at Lin Mo.

What he saw caused his face to darken. “Does anyone know this man outside?”

“It’s our school’s Lin Mo. I heard that he just gave up on the college entrance examination today!” It was not Gao Haoran who spoke, but the other third-year students of Haicheng Martial Arts High School.

“As expected of an eliminated candidate of the martial arts college entrance examination!” This teacher was also a well known teacher at Haicheng City and had always looked down on bad students. “Don’t think that he’s living a great life happily eating and drinking now. In the future, there will be plenty of time for him to cry! As for you guys, although it’s very difficult for you to grit your teeth and persevere now, you have an infinitely bright future ahead of you! — All of you tell me loudly, do you want to feel good temporarily now or always in the future?”

“Always feeling good!”

“Always feeling good!”

“Only by suffering can one be above others!”

“If I don’t work hard today, I’ll be sad tomorrow!”

“Fifteen days of hard work and a lifetime of happiness!”

A master was indeed a master. With just a few words, he made the students in the prep class cry out in excitement.

“What are these people shouting about?” Lin Mo, who was outside the window, did not expect that this scene was caused by the skewers in his hand. “If I didn’t know that it was the college entrance examination prep class inside, I would have thought that it was a pyramid scheme!”

However, the more hysterical the shouting was inside, the happier Lin Mo was outside.

“The involution index actually increased by a large amount again, directly reaching 20!”

Lin Mo, who had just broken through to the second rank, seemed to be able to see the third rank waving at him. In a good mood, he couldn’t help but shout, “Owner, give me ten more lamb skewers!”

He ate his barbecue, sipped his wine, and watched the pulsing involution index… Before he knew it, two or three hours had passed.

The students in the prep class walked out one after another. Many of them cast disdainful gazes at Lin Mo, making him feel a little puzzled. “Did I offend them?”

“Are you Class 10’s Lin Mo?” A white-robed figure stood in front of Lin Mo and questioned coldly with a frown.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Mo looked up and saw a slightly familiar girl. She should also be a student at Haicheng Martial Arts High School.

“Nothing else. I just want to remind you not to embarrass our school here!” The girl said and left with a huff.

“So icy!” Lin Mo couldn’t help but pat his nose, but he didn’t take the other party’s words to heart.

“Brother Mo!”

Soon, Gao Haoran walked out.

Although his body was drenched in sweat and his limbs were sore, he could not hide his excitement. “Brother Mo, the training effect of this prep class is too good! In just a few hours, I can clearly feel that I’m improving! After half a month, my improvement here will probably compare to ten kilograms of punching force…”

As soon as Gao Haoran rushed out, he started talking.

But as he spoke, he suddenly shut up.

“Brother Mo waited for me outside for two to three hours, but I showed off my improvement the moment I came out… I’m too inhumane!” Gao Haoran couldn’t help but feel guilty.

He looked at Lin Mo gratefully. “Brother Mo, it’s been hard on you!”

“What’s so hard about this!” Lin Mo was just drinking and eating skewers outside, and at the same time, he was checking his index. How could this be considered hard work?

“Brother Mo!” Gao Haoran was moved. “When I get into a martial arts university, I will definitely not forget you!”

“I won’t forget you either!” Lin Mo was also a little moved.

‘What a good brother!’

Not only did Haoran try his best to increase his involution index during the day, but he also came to the college entrance examination prep class at night to increase his index at night!

If not for Gao Haoran, Lin Mo would not have known that “combat technique” could be leveled here!

What was even better was that there was a barbecue stall beside the gym! It was really satisfying to eat while watching his stats increase!

“Haoran, I’ll come and accompany you tomorrow again!” Lin Mo said without hesitation.

How could Lin Mo not come to such a good place every day?

Gao Haoran was even more touched. “I won’t say anything else, Brother Mo! Good brothers, one lifetime!”

At that moment, two shadows passed nearby.

The two figures kissed each other in the darkness. “Good brothers, one blanket!”

…

Lin Mo’s house was in an old neighborhood not far from Haicheng Martial Arts High School.

It was after ten when he got home.

The lights in the living room were still on, and Mr. and Mrs. Lin were sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting.

“Dad, Mom, why aren’t you asleep?”

“Xiao Mo, have you been under a lot of pressure recently?” Mr. Lin asked with concern.

“It’s not big!” Lin Mo said without thinking. “I just idled and played all day in school!”

Mr. Lin did not believe Lin Mo’s words and continued to say with concern, “Xiao Mo, don’t give yourself too much pressure. Even if you don’t get into a martial arts university, Dad and Mom won’t blame you!”

Mrs. Lin also said, “That’s right, Xiao Mo. Don’t tire yourself out!”

“Pressure? There’s no pressure!” After lying idle for a day, what pressure could there be? “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely get into a martial arts university!”

With that, Lin Mo walked into his room to wash up.

The worry on Mr. and Mrs. Lin’s faces did not decrease at all.

“The pressure on the child is too great!” Mr. Lin lit a cigarette and frowned.

“That’s right! The child has grown up and learned to tell white lies!” Mrs. Lin’s eyes watered with tears. “He came home so late but still said that there was no pressure to study!”

“Isn’t that so!” Mr. Lin took a deep puff of smoke and sighed. “And he still has the smell of alcohol on him. He must be under so much pressure he chose to drink to relieve it!”

“It’s not easy for our child!”

…

Of course, Lin Mo didn’t know about the conversation between his parents.

At this moment, he was already lying on his bed, thinking hard about how he should motivate his classmates tomorrow so that he could get a higher involution index.

Suddenly, Lin Mo’s eyes lit up. “Let’s do it! I want to play big tomorrow!”
