Chapter 31

That evening, Wang Bo entered the Monday dream system for the first time. However, he was not in a hurry to go through the small door for the trial, as he already had 160 points and could exchange for more items. He needed to choose carefully. Moreover, he had a mission to accept.

The mission list showed that there were 16 days left to complete the missions. The available missions were: Mission 2, join the school volunteer service team and complete one volunteer service, with a reward of 100 points. Mission 3, rank in the top 100 in the mid-term exam, with a reward of 200 points.

After inquiring about the school volunteer service team, Wang Bo felt confident and chose to accept Mission 2 without hesitation. His next step was to apply to Teacher Xu to join the team.

After accepting the mission, Wang Bo went to the exchange area. He first found the entry-level football player, worth 30 points, which he had planned to exchange for when he decided to try out for the school team. When choosing his position, he selected central midfielder, a role that could serve as a pivot in both attack and defense, as it was the most needed position on Guanglin Middle School's team.

After confirming the exchange, a strong light descended from the sky, lasting longer than usual, though not as long as when he exchanged for the basic boxing skills. After the light dissipated, a football fell from the air, apparently a gift from the system to let him experience the effect of the exchange. Wang Bo didn't hesitate to juggle and dribble the ball in the white room. He felt that his ball control had indeed improved dramatically, living up to the level of a professional athlete, even though it was just an entry-level skill. He felt that he was much stronger than the student players he had seen.

Now, Wang Bo had 130 points left. He specifically searched for the corresponding mental techniques for the boxing skills he had learned, but found that the exchange price was 300 points, which he could not afford. He didn't need to become a true martial arts expert, so he decided to give up on it.

He then started searching from the 40-point items, looking for something that interested him. The 40-point items were a bunch of entry-level professional skills, such as stock trader, chef, and dancer, none of which interested Wang Bo.

The 50-point items were a bunch of entry-level sports skills, like tennis, baseball, volleyball, and rugby, which also didn't interest him. However, there was a practical skill called "Alcohol Master," which increased his alcohol tolerance to the point of being able to drink a hundred cups without getting drunk. Although he didn't know the size of the cups the system was referring to, he felt it was much better than his current tolerance. However, he didn't exchange for this skill, as points were precious, and increased alcohol tolerance wasn't something he needed urgently.

At the 60-point level, he finally found something that interested him. There was an item called "Enhancement Pill," which required choosing different types. The effect was to permanently enhance a specific physical attribute, with a note that the effect was limited by the genetic lock. If the pill was ineffective, it suggested unlocking the genetic lock first.

Wang Bo didn't know what a genetic lock was, but he guessed it was some kind of human limit, and breaking that limit was what unlocking the genetic lock meant.

Regardless, with his current physical condition, he was far from reaching the human limit. Just in terms of speed, the world champion in the 100 meters could run under 10 seconds, while he couldn't even run under 13 seconds. So the enhancement pill would definitely be effective for him.

The types of enhancement pills available were speed, strength, jumping, flexibility, endurance, and constitution. The system didn't specify the exact effects of each type, so he could only understand them from their names.

Wang Bo felt that if he wanted to stand out on the school team, just having ball skills wasn't enough, as his physical condition couldn't fully utilize those skills. Enhancing his body was essential. Moreover, the effects of the enhancement pill were permanent, which would also benefit him personally, allowing him to strengthen his abilities in the trials behind the small door.

As a central midfielder, he needed to run tirelessly to avoid missing opportunities on the field. The most important attribute was endurance, followed by strength. Only with sufficient strength could he be strong enough in physical confrontations, improving his long-distance passing and shooting abilities.

Whether passing or shooting, precision alone wasn't enough; a weak shot wouldn't pose a threat. Although Wang Bo now had proficient ball skills, his leg strength was insufficient, and he still had a significant gap compared to real professional athletes.

If he was going to do it, he wanted to do it well. Wang Bo decided to join the school team and shatter everyone's expectations, becoming the most dazzling player on the field.

Wang Bo was a bit spontaneous. Just like when he saw the basic boxing skill and exchanged for it without much thought, he now did the same. Once he had an idea, he didn't look at the other items and immediately used his points to exchange for two enhancement pills.

One was for endurance, and the other was for strength.

After a strong light, two pea-sized pills appeared in front of Wang Bo, one black and one red. He didn't know which was for strength and which was for endurance, but he swallowed both without hesitation.

After swallowing them, he felt a warm current flowing from his abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his body. When the sensation disappeared, he clenched his fist and felt that his body had indeed become much stronger, even more so than when he exchanged for the boxing skills.

Although he couldn't feel the improvement in endurance, he assumed it wouldn't be far off based on the significant effect of the strength pill.

This exchange left Wang Bo with only 10 points again, but he didn't feel regretful. As long as the system existed, he could continuously earn points, and the future was long.

Then, Wang Bo went to the small door, wanting to see what trials were behind it on Monday. When he turned the handle and pushed the door open, he saw two staircases on either side of the platform, both leading downward, but obscured by mist, making it impossible to see the depths.

Wang Bo estimated that the system wouldn't endanger his life, so he confidently chose the right staircase and walked down. After a while, he realized the staircase was spiral and not straight.

After walking for a while, he reached another platform, which connected to two more staircases, one leading up and the other down. He guessed the upward staircase led to the left path, so he chose the downward staircase and continued.

After walking for a long time, he reached another platform, this time with two upward staircases. He had no choice but to choose one and walk up.

After a long walk, when the view suddenly opened up, Wang Bo was surprised to find himself back at the platform outside the small door where he started.

This was a maze, a maze of staircases!

Wang Bo calmed down and started again from the right staircase. He quickly reached the first platform, but this time he chose the upward staircase. Suddenly, the view opened up again, and he found himself back at the starting point.

This was impossible! Wang Bo was puzzled. How could two different staircases lead to the same place? If he went down the left staircase, would he end up at the first platform or the second? This maze of staircases was too bizarre!

Wang Bo didn't dare to turn back and could only continue exploring the right staircase. He tried repeatedly but could only reach the third platform, without even seeing a hint of a reward.

When he woke up from the dream, he felt that the Monday trial was the most difficult he had encountered so far, with its bizarre nature and several upward staircases leading to the same platform, making it incomprehensible. He felt he had no hope of getting a reward in the Monday trial.

On Tuesday noon, Wang Bo, who had returned from claiming his prize, took off his hat and sunglasses outside the school and put them in his backpack before calmly walking into the school. He now had four bank cards, each with a balance of 2 million, making him feel like he was in a dream, and he seemed very spirited.

When Wang Bo entered the classroom, his classmates asked him where he had been and why he hadn't come to class in the morning, and why they couldn't reach him by phone. He claimed he had a stomachache and rested at home all morning.

Not long after he sat down, Liu Yan and Jin Xiaoli returned and asked him the same questions. Wang Bo said he was not feeling well and then asked Liu Yan how her foot was.

"It's almost better," Liu Yan said, regaining her usual vitality, "Thank you for yesterday."

"Don't mention it, we're friends," Wang Bo said casually.

"Yeah, don't be so formal with him," Jin Xiaoli added, "He was very happy yesterday."

"Happy? Happy about what?" Liu Yan frowned, thinking that he must have been gloating over her injury.

Jin Xiaoli rolled her eyes, "I don't know, but he seemed very pleased with himself, even daring to tease me."

"I didn't," Wang Bo defended, "I was just stating the facts."

"Facts? What facts?" Liu Yan, confused by their argument, asked, "Lili, how did he tease you?"

"He was being perverted, saying my chest is too big," Jin Xiaoli feigned a grievance, "Unlike yours, which is just right."

"Ah!" Liu Yan's face turned red, and she didn't dare to speak. Wang Bo, blushing, defended, "I didn't say that, you're making it up."

"Maybe not in those exact words, but that's what you meant, right?" Jin Xiaoli retorted, "Dare you say you didn't mean it?"

"I...," Wang Bo, feeling regretful, decided to be bold, "Your chest is big, so what? Can't I say it?"

This time, even Jin Xiaoli couldn't take it, pointing at him, "You, you, you... Yanzi, look, he's saying such things to me, um..."

Liu Yan, rubbing her forehead, went back to her seat, distancing herself from the two, "I don't know you, you two sort it out."

Jin Xiaoli, wrinkling her nose, huffed at Wang Bo, "See, Yanzi is angry and ignoring me, it's all your fault."

Wang Bo grumbled, "It's your fault, saying all this nonsense. I was just joking, and you can't let it go."

"Joking has its limits. How can you joke with me like that?" Jin Xiaoli whispered, "But if you joke with Yanzi like that, I won't interfere, and I don't think she would mind."

Wang Bo thought she was being ridiculous, "I don't want to deal with you."
