Chapter 7: Chapter 7

“Come on, everyone, line up and smile.”

“All right, no more crying. We’ll have chances to see each other in the future, and we might even end up in the same class in primary school.”

“Parents, come over for a group photo too!”

In Rainbow Kindergarten, a group of teachers was busy organizing the senior class children for a photo to commemorate their graduation.

The three long years of kindergarten had passed just like that.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, a pair of childhood sweethearts, had both successfully graduated from Rainbow Kindergarten.

From four-year-old toddlers when they first started to now seven-year-old big kids.

They left a significant mark on their lives.

“Han Han, come here to Aunt Xin, and take a photo with Zi Chen.”

“Coming!”

Shen Qinghan ran over to Zhang Wanxin with a beaming smile to take a photo with her favorite Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan and realized that his childhood sweetheart had, almost unbeknownst to him, grown into a beauty that was almost unrealistically stunning.

She was a dazzling presence in the entire kindergarten and the secret crush of most little boys.

Fortunately, his own looks weren’t bad either, just as dazzling.

And in the past three years, he had swept all the awards in Rainbow Kindergarten, which made his own charm even surpass that of Shen Qinghan’s. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Over the years, he received many gifts from the little girls in the kindergarten.

Every once in a while, he would find snacks secretly stuffed into his desk drawer by girls who had a crush on him.

After the photo session ended.

Xu Meng found Zhang Wanxin and asked:

“Wanxin, have you decided where you’re planning to send Chen to primary school?”

“I feel like all the primary schools nearby are more or less the same, so we’re thinking of sending him to Sunshine Primary School which is closest to our home.”

“Sunshine Primary School is quite good, then I’ll have Han Han join as well.”

Xu Meng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan immediately looked at Lin Zichen with wide, beaming eyes, and said eagerly:

“Zi Chen, we can continue being classmates in primary school.”

“Yep, continue being classmates.”

“Then for middle school, high school, and university in the future, can we keep being classmates?”

“Sure,” Lin Zichen said with a smile.

He had grown accustomed to having Shen Qinghan by his side and enjoyed this feeling of growing up together as childhood sweethearts; he hoped it could continue forever.

…

The summer vacation went by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the back-to-school season in September.

For Lin Zichen, life in primary school wasn’t much different from kindergarten.

He spent his time in class immersed in his own books, delving deeper into the background of this world.

Then, when class was over, he would quietly find a secluded corner and intensively train his body, advancing further on the evolutionary path.

The only difference was that Lin Zichen no longer needed his parents to drop him off or pick him up from school.

He chose to walk to and from school, giving himself more freedom and simultaneously easing his parents’ minds.

Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin were both very confident in this arrangement.

After all, the school was not far away, just a ten-minute walk.

Of course, what truly reassured the couple was that Lin Zichen had always been exceptionally outstanding from a young age, skilled in both academics and sports, capable of taking good care of himself without their worry.

When Shen Qinghan saw that Lin Zichen walked to school, she also clamored to join him.

Shen Jianye and Xu Meng were initially reluctant, but seeing how insistent she was, they eventually agreed.

They thought that with Lin Zichen around, their somewhat clumsy daughter would be well protected.

…

That morning.

After Lin Zichen had finished breakfast, he waited at the front door for Shen Qinghan to finish and come out so they could walk to school together.

While waiting, with nothing to do, he had a thought and opened his character panel to check the data.

[Name: Lin Zichen]

[Age: 7 years old]

[Biological Level: Ordinary (Tier 2)]

[Biometric Attributes: Use It or Lose It, Innate Wisdom of Heaven and Man]

The Biological Level was still Ordinary Tier 2.

However, compared to when he was attending the junior class in kindergarten two and a half years ago, Lin Zichen’s strength had improved significantly.

He could lift a 200kg barbell with one hand.

His vertical jump could reach 2 meters.

HIs 100-meter sprint broke the 8-second barrier…

Each piece of data far surpassed the world records of his previous life.

If he were in his previous life, he would be akin to a superhuman.

But in this mutated Earth where extraordinary powers exist, he was still far from being a “superman”.

Over the past two and a half years, Lin Zichen had watched many videos online related to Genetic Integrators, Mechanically Modified Humans, and Exotic Beasts.

In the videos, the three kinds could fly, escape through the earth, move mountains and fill the seas, and do the impossible, comparable to land-based Immortal Gods.

Every time he watched, he was greatly shocked, filled with a sense of awe.

“There are too many powerful beings in this world that are beyond understanding. I must work hard to evolve, striving to reach that realm comparable to the Immortal Gods one day…”

Lin Zichen quietly thought to himself.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan came out after finishing her breakfast.

She wore a light blue summer school uniform and hopped energetically toward Lin Zichen, saying with a smile and gleaming eyes:

“Xiao Chen, wait no longer.”

Since Lin Zichen graduated from kindergarten, Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin stopped calling him Chenchen and instead started calling him Xiao Chen, making it sound less childish.

Hearing it often, Shen Qinghan followed suit and started calling him Xiao Chen as well.

As for Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen still called her Han Han.

After all, it’s different for girls than boys.

A girl’s repetitive nickname only sounds cute, never childish.

…

They arrived at Sunshine Primary School.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were still deskmates.

But they never talked during class, quietly doing their own things.

Lin Zichen was reading an extracurricular book he brought from home.

Shen Qinghan was attentively listening to the teacher’s lecture.

Initially, during kindergarten, Shen Qinghan seemed a bit clumsy and not too bright.

When learning English, she could read grandmother as “roll-ne-ma-da.”

But upon reaching primary school, she became unusually intelligent, steadily scoring second place in every exam.

The reason for such a drastic change was firstly due to the good coaching at home by her teacher parents, and secondly due to Lin Zichen tutoring her at school.

“Zi Chen, have you finished the ‘Biological Structure’ book from yesterday?”

In the middle of class, as the math teacher walked past Lin Zichen and saw that the book he was now reading was different from yesterday’s, she couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

Lin Zichen turned to the next page of his book, without lifting his head he replied, “Mm, I’ve finished it.”

He always scored full marks on math exams, earning himself the right to read extracurricular books during math class without having to worry about the teacher’s opinion.

The math teacher couldn’t help but exclaim, “Zi Chen, you really are amazing. I’m counting on you for next week’s National Primary School Mathematics Competition.”

Lin Zichen replied indifferently, “Don’t worry, teacher, I’ll take first place.”

The other students in the class looked on with envious expressions.

Feeling the gazes from her classmates, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but sit a little straighter, proud of her childhood friend’s excellence, and took it as her own glory.

Lin Zichen, however, remained undisturbed inside, quietly reading his book and absorbing various kinds of knowledge.

…

In the days that followed.

Lin Zichen scored first in every school exam, and broke school records in every sports meet.

Whether good students or bad ones, they all felt a sense of reverence towards him.

Just when he thought his six years of primary school would pass uneventfully and he would smoothly become the “Top Student of Primary School,”

one day, a very special transfer student suddenly arrived in his class.

It was a day during the first semester of the second grade of primary school.

Lin Zichen was in the classroom attending a math class.

Midway through the class, the homeroom teacher suddenly walked in with a white-haired girl and told everyone she was a transfer student who would start attending classes with the rest of the class from that day.

The moment he saw the white-haired girl,

Lin Zichen sensed a breath from her that did not belong to a human being.
