Xia Yu booked a suite with a small living room in the hotel, which had two bedrooms, one for Yuxue and one for him. The girl complained for a while, saying that a double room would be enough, but under Xia Yu's insistence on either a suite or two single rooms, the girl chose the suite. She was a bit frightened of staying in a single room by herself.
Xia Yu waited for an hour in the living room before knocking on Yuxue's door. The girl didn't respond, probably fell asleep. To make sure Yuxue wasn't faking it, Xia Yu gently tickled her feet. The girl was very ticklish, and if she was pretending, she would definitely give herself away.
Confirming that there was no problem, Xia Yu removed the black cat's slot, used the free selection option, and logged into her body. He didn't immediately open his eyes, as this was the time for Xia Yu to leave the room. There was no movement from him, but Yuxue was the first to stir. After he entered her body, the girl woke up.
"Scary, sleep paralysis!" She realized that she couldn't control her body and thought it was sleep paralysis. "What should I do at this time? If I don't move, will I die?" The girl panicked.
She tried to control her body, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get up. "Move, my body! Ahhhhh!" Xia Yu: "..."
He hurriedly checked her bonus, then used the soothing sleep ability. The feeling of the body's original owner was shared with him. After he fell asleep, Yuxue would also fall asleep. It was because of this that she woke up after he arrived.
Opening his eyes, Xia Yu silently recited the words and brought up the bonus interface. Yuxue couldn't see this interface. Normally, after logging into the body, the prompt text would appear, but Xia Yu couldn't see it with his eyes closed, so he had to bring it up now.
The first bonus that caught Xia Yu's attention was the Coquetry Bonus Lv1. Like the Shirk Responsibility skill and Tina's Cuteness, it was a very subtle bonus. The bonus seemed not bad, although it was useless for himself, but watching others use it would be interesting.
He looked at the second skill, Examination Education Bonus Lv1. If he removed the first two characters related to the examination, it would be a good skill. What was the use of examination-based education? Would she become a teacher in the future? Xia Yu didn't trust Yuxue to be a teacher, knowing how mischievous primary school students could be and how flirtatious middle school students were.
He thought about placing her in Dongzhi Village, where all the girls were, which would be more reassuring. After planning Yuxue's future, Xia Yu looked at the third bonus, Buddhist Theory Bonus Lv1.
Xia Yu analyzed calmly and thought carefully, discovering the problem. This skill was not good! Remembering Yuxue's interest in temples and amulets, Xia Yu felt a bit panicked. He couldn't let his only sister become a nun. In the future, he should be more vigilant, so Yuxue doesn't get exposed to Buddhism-related things.
Otherwise, if Yuxue suddenly discovered her talent and became a nun, everything would be over. Considering her obsession with Kong Hanyue and Xia Dongyang, she might be ready to attain enlightenment and let go of worldly desires.
Placing this matter in the most important part, Xia Yu closed his eyes again, preparing to use Soothing to fall asleep.
At this time, in his mind, he heard Yuxue's self-talk again.
"Ah, it's not sleep paralysis, but sleepwalking!" Seeing herself open and close her eyes again, the girl became even more flustered.
Xia Yu pondered for a moment, thinking this seemed quite amusing.
He got out of bed and jumped around the room, received a scream from Yuxue, and then lay back down.
With a satisfied smile, he used Soothing, placing his hand on his own head.
His consciousness soon took flight, about to fall asleep.
"Brother?"
Yuxue's sudden words brought him back to reality.
Without opening his eyes, Xia Yu pretended to have misheard and continued to use Soothing.
"It must be my brother, this feeling is the same as before!" Yuxue huffed.
You say something, I can't hear.
To prevent Yuxue from feigning, Xia Yu chose to pretend to be deaf.
In his mind, he reflected on the Soothing skill. When he first got it, he tested it out with Yuxue. So, it was normal for the girl to say that the feeling was the same as before.
However, he was only at level 1 back then and needed to use singing to activate the skill. Now he didn't need to sing, so how could Yuxue be so sure?
"I was thinking just now, there's no sleepwalking like a zombie's jump! You teased me again!" Yuxue continued.
So, this was where the problem had arisen; because it was too familiar, his mischief was discovered?
But in normal circumstances, even if one discovers these two points and has some doubts, the rationality that comes afterward, with reasons like "how is this possible" and "reality is not a novel," would dispel the thoughts.
Was this girl too slow to be rational?
That's right, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, just at the age of being overly imaginative. So, she could believe that the world was not ordinary, and her brother was actually the boss in some story.
In that case, how should I deal with it?
As long as I don't pay attention now or admit it tomorrow, it can be resolved.
After all, Yuxue was a middle school student and could accept the lie that the world had no trace of fantasy.
From the unchanging added benefits of still being at level 1, it could be seen that Yuxue didn't really believe it. Otherwise, with their relationship, it would have at least reached level 3, if not level 4.
Having made up his mind, Xia Yu chose to play dead.
"Ding" a notification sounded.
In this game, notifications usually only have text and no sound.
Was Yuxue playing a trick, or did the phone ring?
But when the notification sounded, Yuxue was still nagging Xia Yu to admit the truth.
This shouldn't be Yuxue's plot.
Opening his eyes, Xia Yu saw the notification text.
The game sent you a mission request
Score first in the city in the college entrance examination
You can choose one of the following three rewards
1. Blank slot
2. Skill level up card lv51
3. One permanent bonus
A level 5 skill level up card!
Last time, Xia Yu spent so long learning piano, violin, and guzheng, and the reward he got after winning the championship was just a level 41 skill upgrade card!
If he worked hard before the time limit, he could raise his pharmacy skill to level 5. He wasn't sure if he could heal Xu Youxiang's leg, but with this, he could raise his pharmacy skill to level 6. It's not certain, but it's more likely that he could heal Xu Youxiang's leg.
Xia Yu looked at the task requirements again.
The first place in the city?
It seemed like just an ordinary first place in the city, but Ziyu was a well-known education hub of Su Province. The first place in Ziyu City was almost equivalent to the first place in Su Province.
And Su Province itself was a famous education powerhouse, which made this a very difficult task.
Xia Yu's gaze swept across Yuxue's bonuses again.
Acting spoiled lv1, exam education lv1, Buddhist principles lv1
Undoubtedly, he had to use the exam education.
Right now, he still had to deal with the matter of Xu Youxiang's leg, so he had no way of focusing on grinding Yuxue's skill level. Therefore, there was only one solution.
The enhancement upgrade would grant a skill level upgrade opportunity equal to the enhancement level. A level 3 enhancement could instantly raise the skill to level 3, and level 4 would do the same.
Relying on the benefits brought by the enhancement upgrade, directly upgrading the exam education to a higher level was the only feasible method.
He hoped that Yuxue's feelings for him were deeper than usual. If he could reach level 4, Xia Yu might have a chance to compete. If he reached level 5, it would be a done deal.
After making the decision, Xia Yu opened his mouth and said, "It's me."
