Chapter 138: Chapter 137: The Daily Adventure

Besides the matters of equipment and attribute limits, Zhang Yanhang also asked another rather important question—Talent.

However, the group leader seemed not to know much about Talent, only knowing that there’s a limit to the amount of Talent at each rank, but she did not know the specific number. Moreover, the group leader also felt that Talents were somewhat useless, as they were too troublesome to upgrade and not worth expending too much effort on.

Zhang Yanhang thought this might be because the Treasure box drop rate and the chances of acquiring Talent from Treasure boxes were too low on the group leader’s side, so they found Talent useless; but for Zhang Yanhang, it was different, as his Treasure boxes could yield a bunch of Talents, making upgrading relatively comfortable.

After answering all the questions Zhang Yanhang had asked, the group leader finally recommended a group she had created about the Ashen World, which consisted of roughly over a hundred Awakeners, all of whom had set foot in the Ashen World.

Once Zhang Yanhang joined the group, he took a brief look and found, as expected, that it was just like any other Awakener group. Even though it was a group for the Ashen World, most of the time, they discussed matters unrelated to the Ashen World, which he had to admit was quite realistic.

After browsing the group chat for a while, Zhang Yanhang was about to turn off his phone when he suddenly received a notice from his class group, saying the math teacher was busy with a breakthrough in his Cultivation Technique and had no time for class. Therefore, this afternoon’s math class was canceled, and they would find another time next week to make it up.

"I only had two classes this afternoon, and now they are canceled; can I just go to sleep now?"

Zhang Yanhang set an alarm on his phone, climbed into his bed, and began to sleep, making sure not to forget to lock the dormitory door.

Even though his roommates didn’t like locking the door when they slept, he was different; he could only sleep more peacefully with the door locked, as having an Energy Shield did not conflict with locking the door.

Since he had learned how to hide his equipment from the group leader, Zhang Yanhang didn’t need to remove his equipment before sleeping, which had always been troublesome and time-consuming for him.

As for sleeping in his equipment? Well, it wasn’t impossible, but it was uncomfortable, affecting sleep quality, so he usually chose to remove his equipment before sleeping.

Of course, the real reason was that Zhang Yanhang didn’t like to sleep in his clothes; he had been sleeping naked for twenty years, and it was impossible for him to change this habit suddenly.

Now that he had learned how to hide his equipment, he no longer had to waste time taking off and putting on equipment.

Zhang Yanhang had barely closed his eyes in bed when he slipped into deep sleep. After all, he had worked for four continuous days, slain thousands of monsters, and the nap on the desk for just one morning was clearly not enough to replenish the Physical Strength he had expended.

...

October 9, the first day after the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holiday, at eight o’clock in the evening, university dormitory building, room 604.

Zhang Yanhang groggily opened his eyes, his lifeless eyes blankly staring at the snow-white ceiling. After a few seconds, he closed his eyes to continue his habitual nap, but then as if remembering something, he suddenly opened his eyes again and yawned.

Zhang Yanhang glanced at the surrounding environment. Due to the lights being off, the dormitory was pitch-dark. "It’s dark already; how many hours did I sleep?"

Wrapping himself in his blanket instinctively, he then reached for his phone next to his pillow to check the time. "October 9? So I only slept for eight hours? That little?"

Initially, seeing the darkness outside, he thought he had slept in the dormitory for a whole day plus an afternoon, but surprisingly, it had only been eight hours, far from the thirty-some hours he had estimated.

"This is probably the first time I’ve woken up before the alarm went off." Zhang Yanhang, anticipating that he might sleep the whole day, had set the alarm for the next day at seven in the morning. However, unexpectedly, he woke up eleven hours earlier.

Though Zhang Yanhang had woken after only eight hours, he still felt somewhat tired, and it seemed he needed more sleep to fully alleviate this fatigue.

As for why he woke up early, he reasoned that it might be due to the aftereffects of the harsh conditions his body underwent in the Ashen World.

After all, during his time in the Ashen World, he would only rest for eight hours before he went back to work, so this might have disrupted his biological clock to some extent.

"I was initially thinking of sleeping until tomorrow morning, then getting up and going directly to school, but since I woke up early, should I now go home?" Even though Zhang Yanhang was a day student, occasionally staying in the dorm was quite normal, as his parents didn’t live near the school in this apartment.

The apartment in Xingfuli District was his alone, so whether or not he went back didn’t pose any issue.

Even though today was Friday and tomorrow, Saturday, should have been a day off, due to the National Day holiday adjustments, Saturday would not be a day off, only Sunday, which is why Zhang Yanhang had decided to sleep in the dormitory at noon instead of going home.

He had planned to sleep in the dormitory until the next morning, directly go to school, and then head home after school.

Well, the real reason Zhang Yanhang chose to sleep in the dormitory at noon, rather than going home, was genuinely because he was extremely sleepy, and the communication with Qin Xiaomeng, Sun Jiaming, and Gu Mingyue, was performed with much effort.

"Speaking of which, it’s so late, but today’s Adventure hasn’t triggered yet. If it doesn’t trigger soon, today will be over..." After saying this, Zhang Yanhang lay back down and waited a minute, but Multiple Choice still showed absolutely no response.

"Sigh, this Multiple Choice is somewhat disappointing; I even hinted at it so obviously, but still nothing triggered." As for whether his constant sleeping was the reason today’s Adventure hadn’t triggered, Zhang Yanhang thought it was quite unlikely.

According to past patterns he observed, even if he were to stay at home and sleep all day, various Adventure options would still trigger, including some of the most common Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and various Spiritual Artifacts, such as the Copper Coin Sword he mentioned before that could be used to deal with female ghosts.
