Qin Haohan returned home, and before entering, a black four-seat hover car passed by from the side.
The hover car is a high-tech product of the new era, requiring no tires, with the body capable of levitating. This top-of-the-line model can reach a maximum height of ten meters and a top speed of 460 kilometers per hour, capable of navigating the complex terrain of the wilderness, making it an essential item for powerful warriors.
This model costs over five million, and Qin Haohan could only envy it. As a mere student, he had no chance to enjoy such luxuries.
He originally intended to wait for the car to pass, but unexpectedly, as it went by him, it suddenly jolted and scraped against him.
His body staggered, and his pants were torn.
The car door opened, and a beautiful girl stepped out.
This girl was incredibly beautiful, no more than twenty years old, with long hair tied in a ponytail, almond-shaped eyes, and a peach-like face, with skin as smooth as congealed fat. She wore a brand-customized suit, which, though supposed to be dignified, gave off a uniform-like allure on her.
Qin Haohan immediately recognized that this girl was a warrior.
Her body was well-proportioned, with a graceful figure and almost flawless, pale skin, all signs of having completed the muscle and tendon training.
And she had completed it to a high degree.
Compared to her, Zhou Ke'er was at most a green apple, and her quality was several levels lower.
Qin Haohan was instantly dazzled by her beauty. When she bent down to check, her curves were fully revealed, making one's mouth water.
"Crack!"
A bolt of electricity flashed, dispelling any evil thoughts.
Fortunately, the current was not strong, just enough to clear Qin Haohan's mind.
At this moment, the girl approached Qin Haohan, "Little brother, how are you?"
Her voice was pleasant, but her speech was a bit fast, showing her cheerful nature.
Before Qin Haohan could respond, the girl sighed, "Sigh, I don't know what happened to the car; it suddenly lost power. I didn't mean to, but you look like a student, right? If you're injured, I'll cover your medical expenses."
As she spoke, the beautiful girl reached for her money, but Qin Haohan tried to pull his eyes away from her. He had been through exams recently and had a strange fear of beautiful women.
He forced his attention to the car. Although he wasn't very good at martial arts, he was well-versed in mechanical principles. He walked around the car and quickly identified the problem.
"Big sister, your car is low on power, causing the lack of strength. Just replace the backup battery, and it will be fine."
"Ah, is that so?"
"That's right, let me help you."
Qin Haohan asked her to open the car door, found the battery in the trunk, and quickly replaced it.
"Thank you, little brother. What's your name?"
The beautiful girl smiled at Qin Haohan. The boy in front of her was young but very composed, showing none of the usual awkwardness or lecherousness that most boys displayed when facing her. This surprised her; the boy had strong self-control.
She had already put away the money, thinking that Qin Haohan wouldn't take it. He had even helped her fix the car, probably with some complex thoughts in mind.
"No need to thank me, and you don't need to know my name."
The beautiful girl nodded in satisfaction, about to say something polite, but Qin Haohan suddenly said, "Big sister, you hit my leg, and I need to buy a bottle of medicine, which costs about 550. My pants are torn and need to be replaced, which costs about 210. The labor cost for fixing the car is 150. In total, it's 1010, so just give me 1000."
The beautiful girl was taken aback. She didn't expect Qin Haohan to ask for money and to have calculated the price so quickly.
However, she wasn't the type to cheat. This amount was nothing to her, and the prices Qin Haohan quoted were fair. Individually, they all seemed reasonable.
She briskly counted out 1000 and handed it to Qin Haohan.
The boy took it without changing his expression and put it in his pocket.
"Little brother, I still want to thank you. What's your name?"
"I said you don't need to know my name."
Qin Haohan waved his hand gracefully and turned to walk home, leaving the girl with his back. As he walked away, he added, "Don't call me little brother; I'm not that young."
He left with a sense of accomplishment, thinking, "I don't believe this dead robot will shock me again."
Feeling proud, he hummed a song from the public era: "Who says I am extraordinary... Who makes me love and hate... Call the Buddha! Turn back and find the shore..."
Watching Qin Haohan's back disappear and the song fade away, the girl felt a bit touched.
"He's a serious little brat..."
She opened the car door and was about to start the engine when she suddenly paused.
"Medicine 550, pants 210, car repair 150, the total should be 910. How did he take 1000 and say he gave me a discount?"
Realizing she had been tricked, the girl felt a bit irritated.
"Stiff... I spit! Damn little cheat! How dare this yellow-haired kid play me! Just a student, I'll find you and see what I can do to you!"
*****
Qin Haohan was very pleased today.
He felt he had performed well, showing the characteristics of a robot, not swayed by beauty, and taking the compensation he deserved.
Although the girl was outstanding, he didn't think they would have any connection.
However, he didn't realize that he had overcharged the girl by 100.
He wanted to talk to the exam, but the exam was silent. He went home, took a shower, and ate to recover his strength.
Just as he was about to review, the exam reappeared.
"Culture classes are also part of the foundation. Although they don't help much in practical combat, they are very useful for your exams. I will now tutor and assess you."
"I can review on my own."
"No, a person always has laziness. Even the most diligent person, when they feel tired, will think of resting and taking a break, which doesn't maximize learning effectiveness. A robot doesn't have this problem."
The exam's voice was calm and steady: "The robot system isn't meant to turn you into a robot but to give you the excellent qualities of a robot—no mistakes, always rational, and maximizing all effects and benefits. To achieve this goal, you must follow my instructions."
Qin Haohan had no choice; he couldn't bear the electric shocks.
The exam's tutoring began quickly.
After just one second of scanning, the exam had formulated a study plan for Qin Haohan.
He had already mastered the knowledge in the books and quickly categorized it for Qin Haohan, starting from the basics, step by step, without any detours.
Qin Haohan found it incredibly easy to study according to the exam's guidance.
Knowledge points that he had previously found difficult were now easily understood.
Whenever Qin Haohan started to feel a bit proud and his mind wandered, a small bolt of electricity immediately appeared on his head.
After an hour, the tutoring session ended.
"That's it. Review a section of cultural studies every day. While resting, you can also make rapid progress in your cultural studies. The remaining time should still be spent on martial arts practice."
Qin Haohan followed the exam's instructions and went to the punching bag.
Although his home was small, he had a punching bag, a basic setup.
"This time, we will improve your punching power. I have already checked the standards for junior high school exams on your planet. In the Asian Federation, the standard is unified. The full score for the middle school exam is 200 kilograms of punching power. Your previous punching power was 77 kilograms, and after today's training, it has improved to 81, but it's still far from enough. I want you to reach 100 kilograms of punching power by tonight!"
Qin Haohan couldn't help but be amazed: "100 kilograms!"
This level of punching power was something he had always dreamed of, but he never thought he could improve by 20 kilograms in one night.
"How do we start?"
"Very simple. I will prepare the necessary drugs for you. Then you will punch the bag with all your strength. When your body reaches its limit, I will give you the drugs, and you will continue punching."
Punching with all his strength, Qin Haohan had never tried this training method before. It would be incredibly exhausting.
However, the exam had no mercy. It aimed to train him into a robot, and the exam itself was probably a robot.
Talking about feelings with a robot was like playing the lute to a cow, with no hope of success.
Qin Haohan had no choice but to start punching the bag frantically.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
"81! 80.5! 80.3! 80! 79.7!"
Numbers kept appearing in Qin Haohan's mind, shown to him by the exam, allowing him to clearly see the effect of his punches.
The exam kept instructing him, with a calm voice, not shouting, but Qin Haohan didn't dare to ignore it.
"Don't hold back; use all your strength. Although your punches are getting lighter, you are getting a thorough workout. With me, don't worry about gradual progress; that's a waste of time. Punch hard!"
This full-force punching was exhausting. In no time, Qin Haohan's punching power dropped below 60.
He felt his arms had lost sensation and were about to cramp.
"Prepare to take the drugs!"
A "ding" sound indicated a deduction, and 4000 was taken from Qin Haohan.
Several strength-enhancing drugs appeared before him, all quite expensive. It seemed this system wouldn't choose cheaper drugs.
"Take three at a time, immediately. Stop for five minutes to absorb the drug's effects, then continue!"
Following the exam's instructions, Qin Haohan took the drugs, and a warm current, like tiny ants, traveled up his arms.
After five minutes, his fatigue was gone, and he felt his arms had become a bit stronger.
Qin Haohan punched the bag fiercely again.
"Boom!"
"90.5!"
His first punch hit a number he had never achieved before!
