Chapter 1

"I'm pretty cool, but you definitely don't know, so I decided to write a diary."

"I discovered a secret: all cool guys like to write their stories in diaries."

"Especially those things that are inconvenient to say out loud, writing them in a diary is perfect for showing off."

"Ah, I'm still too young. It turns out that writing a diary every day is also a difficult thing."

"Besides, who writes a diary nowadays?"

"I changed my mind, I'll write a weekly journal from now on."

— *Weekly Journal, First Page*

"I won't talk about what I've been through recently."

"Actually, even if I did, no one would believe me."

"I can only write it in my diary, no, in my weekly journal, for future generations to reference."

"If someone finds this weekly journal, please believe that everything I record is completely true."

"First, I have a big revelation: my Sichuanese level has reached Level 8!"

"You probably think I'm joking. After the planet's great destruction, there are very few Level 8 Sichuanese experts in the world."

"To be honest, even I don't quite believe that I have such a terrifying level of Sichuanese."

— *Weekly Journal, Second Page*

"The literary side of my inner self makes me decide to tell my story in a reverse narrative."

"In June 2126, I read an electronic book *Deep Research on Level 8 Sichuanese* on my phone."

"Many experts have studied this academic work published over a hundred years ago, but they basically can't understand it because the great destruction war a hundred years ago caused catastrophic damage to human civilization, and the loss rate of dialects and local languages exceeded 80%."

"Since the establishment of the Human Alliance in 2030, the whole world has spoken a common language, and it's hard to find people who speak dialects. Over time, many dialects in this world have become historical terms."

"So, the question is, even many archaeologists and authoritative scholars couldn't understand *Deep Research on Level 8 Sichuanese*, but I actually studied it thoroughly. Is that appropriate?"

"You probably think I'm a top student, maybe a genius from an ancient language college."

"Writing a weekly journal must be honest. My real educational background is... elementary school graduate."

— *Weekly Journal, Third Page*

"Starting from 2048, the Alliance didn't have enough resources to support those who just eat and do nothing. The original nine-year compulsory education was shortened to six years of basic education."

"The so-called basic education is judged by genes. If the post-evolution gene index doesn't meet the standard, many children graduate from elementary school and go to work, and you can see child laborers everywhere, aged twelve or thirteen."

"After the great destruction, humans evolved, animals evolved, and plants evolved."

"To get into junior high school, you must evolve."

"In this era, no matter what kind of school, cultural courses only account for half, and the other half depends on evolution courses."

"Back in the day, my cultural course grades were pretty good, consistently ranking in the top three."

"I didn't get into junior high school for one reason only—failing the evolution course."

"The passing line for the elementary to junior high school transition is: Constitution Gene ≥ 5 points, Strength Gene ≥ 5 points, Agility Gene ≥ 5 points."

"These three gene scores, which can be detected by instruments, determine everyone's fate."

"My elementary school graduation test results were: Constitution Gene 4 points, Strength Gene 4 points, Agility Gene 5 points."

— *Weekly Journal, Fourth Page*

"It's quite regrettable, just one point less in Constitution and one point less in Strength, and I lost the opportunity to advance."

"Is it because I didn't work hard enough? Or is my talent worse than others?"

"The answer has nothing to do with effort or talent, but depends on what I ate every day during my elementary school years."

"In this era, the most practical and accessible way for children to evolve is to eat meat!"

"As everyone knows, highly evolved animals have mutated, and the flesh of these mutated creatures is highly nutritious and can accelerate human evolution."

"As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The higher the grade of the mutated creature, the higher the price. Even relatively ordinary mutated ingredients can widen the wealth gap between people."

"For example, the relatively common mutated beef on the market costs 500 yuan per pound. Feeding a child one pound a day would cost 15,000 yuan a month, which could bankrupt a working-class family."

"There's a joke on the internet: how much a child can evolve depends on how rich their parents are."

"This joke is too real. Too real things always make people want to cry."

"For example, my elementary school classmate Qian Xiaopang, who has been eating mutated beef since kindergarten, even high-end seven-rare steaks. After the fourth grade, he didn't even bother with mutated beef anymore and started eating high-end meals that cost thousands of yuan per pound."

"Please allow me to showcase my cultural foundation from six years of basic education and make a sentence with 'because, so.'"

"Because Qian Xiaopang ate so much, so he got the best evolution course scores in the class when he graduated from elementary school."

"In my situation, I can't expect my parents to give me some good food."

"What's my situation? To put it simply, since I was weaned, I've lived in an orphanage."

"Every week, I can eat one egg and one meal with meat."

"The egg and the meat are mandatory according to regulations; every week, orphans must have one meat meal."

"For the other six days, it's either plain porridge with steamed buns, or noodles, pickles, and soup with no oil."

— *Weekly Journal, Sixth Page*

"According to regulations, after I received six years of basic education, the orphanage no longer had the obligation to take care of me, and I had to go out and make a living on my own."

"The day I graduated from elementary school was also the day I was kicked out of the orphanage."

"That year, I was twelve, and I started living on my own."

"I've done many jobs, some clean and some not so clean."

"The clean ones include washing dishes and serving in restaurants, working as a waiter in KTV, distributing flyers on the street, and working part-time in factories. As for the not-so-clean ones, I won't go into detail, but a few that can be mentioned briefly include collecting debts, watching over places, and pimping."

"After three years of exploration, when I was fifteen, I found the job that suited me best: sparring partner."

"In this era, sparring partners mainly help evolved individuals practice and hone their combat skills."

"There's a saying in the world: a good sparring partner stands invincible."

"First, you have to ensure that you won't be beaten to a pulp before you can stimulate your opponent's potential. This means that the sparring partner's level must be higher than the client to be able to give them pointers."

"By now, you probably think I'm just boasting. The sparring partners on the market are at least at the high school level. How can someone like me, who only graduated from elementary school, be a sparring partner?"

"Think about it, really think about it. If I weren't cool, would I have the guts to write a weekly journal?"

"If I didn't write a weekly journal, how would you know—actually, I'm really cool!"

— *Weekly Journal, Seventh Page*

"God took away some things from me but compensated me with others."

"I have an innate learning ability, and I learn new things very quickly."

"This learning ability is not limited to cultural fields."

"I can also quickly grasp technical movements."

"For example, dribbling between the legs in basketball, Qian Xiaopang practiced for three years and still couldn't learn it, but I learned it in three physical education classes. And in the third class, I used a fancy between-the-legs move to knock Qian Xiaopang to the ground."

"Additionally, I practiced a set of basic martial arts based on ancient martial arts, suitable for modern elementary school students—*Evolved Tai Chi*."

"To be honest, this set of martial arts is very suitable for someone like me, who is thin, not very strong, and not very fast."

"Throughout my elementary school years, my Tai Chi was at the beginner level, mainly for strengthening the body and not for attacking. At the time, I thought Tai Chi was just a health exercise and not suitable for fighting."

"Reality proved that I was still too young."

"When I was fourteen, I had an epiphany."

"In a street fight, I was surrounded by a dozen men with machetes, and at a critical moment, I unleashed my inner power."

"I grasped the essence of *Evolved Tai Chi*. That day, I learned how to use force against force, how to strike from a distance, and how to use a light touch to move a heavy object."

"From then on, people's evaluation of me was only one sentence: 'This kid is too fierce, who can tame him?'"
