83 A Whole Hour

Zhou Zhenya was excited to go to school.

Since she knew that there was a quiz in almost all of the subjects in the same day!

At first, Zhou Zhenya was dreading this day, as her memory, although quite good, could not possibly handle the amount of quizzes that were about to arrive.

Now, since she felt that she gained an impressive memory, she couldn't wait to show it off!

.....

Zhou Lei sweated profusely. Adding to heat present in the arcade being isolated by the clothes he was wearing was the fact that he was moving frantically, causing him to sweat even more.

However, all of this did not hinder him from challenging the hardest song on the machine and practicing the most he could.

Of course, this incredible perseverance was all for the handsome rewards he would get should he finish it without an item.

It was 100 upgrade points! With these, he wouldn't need to buy those lousy books anymore.

Not to mention the 10 lottery tickets, which would be beneficial to him and his eventual idol career...

'Thinking about it, I wonder if I will encounter those that would scheme against me...' Zhou Lei recalled the novels that he had read.

There, the main character would start from the bottom because her significant other betrayed her for her best friend. She would then attract the attention of a cold and possessive man, who would protect her from the sidelines...

After that, face slapping antics ensue.

As these thoughts came through Zhou Lei's mind, he found more and more unlikely.

'First off, I'm not a girl. Second, I don't have have a significant other nor a best friend. So this isn't likely to happen!' Zhou Lei predicted.

'Besides, those types of novels are unrealistic anyway! In the first place, why am I even thinking about this...?'

It was then that a flag was raised.

.....

Shao Lingxin finished looking through the desolate part of the arcade.

"Of course she wouldn't be here, this place is abandoned!" What she didn't know was that she barely missed her.

She walked to some other part of the arcade and started searching again.

"I don't believe that I can't find her, we'll see who comes out on top this time!"

Hearing her manager's voice, Lin Guiying evacuated from the spot and found another place to hide in, remembering to come back here later. "I need to teach this guy!"

An hour later.

Shao Lingxin looked depressed as she walked out of the arcade alone...

"Ah! Her mother is really going to kill me this time!"

Watching from afar, was Lin Guiying. She let out a sigh of relief as she watched her manager walk farther from where she was.

"Whew! That was close..."

She walked back to where the Dance Dance Revolution machine was.

"How long has it been? An hour? He's... probably gone by now." Lin Guiying shook her head in disappointment.

Despite his apparent lack of skills, the man in the hoodie actually got a single step right! This showed her his unlimited potential!

She wanted to teach him how to play the game properly, but she was too late.

As she arrived at her destination, amidst all the noise in the arcade, the familiar tune crept into her ears again.

"Someone else is attempting this song? Good grief!"

However, as she saw who was dancing like a maniac on the machine, she widened her eyes.

"For a whole hour...?" Lin Guiying stared in disbelief.

The hooded man's feet were visibly shaking, a result of his extensive workout. However, his speed did not decrease. Instead, it looked like he was even gaining more!

Lin Guiying turned her head to look at the screen.

'...!' She was shocked!

"How... how could this be...?" She could not believe the sight in front of her.

The screen, that only showed the word "Miss!" previously, had...

Well, it didn't change.

After a whole hour of endeavor, the hooded man... did not improve a tiny bit.

Lin Guiying stared dumbfoundedly.
