Just then, she ran into the family of three returning home.
Their expressions were rather odd. The child, needless to say, was grimacing and looked ready to howl but didn’t dare.
The two adults were even smiling.
But their smiles were a bit unsettling—forced grins that looked a hundred times more awkward than that.
Si Junni spoke first: “Wow, you’ve been out for a meal until now?”
“Junni, did you lock the door?”
After returning yesterday, the three of them couldn’t get into their rooms. They wanted to shout and knock loudly, but they were worried about disturbing Si Junni’s rest. The first Awakening was a big deal, and because of her mother’s passing, Si Junni had already suffered enough.
It had even caused some changes in her personality. If she couldn’t rest well again tonight, any chance of Awakening might be wasted.
So they had no choice but to indulge her for one more day and went straight to find a hotel near the entrance to stay.
But now, seeing Si Junni’s carefree and questioning expression, even the most patient person couldn’t help but feel like stomping their feet.
“Did I? I don’t remember.”
“It’s fine, it’s nothing serious. Hurry up and go to school. Good luck with your Awakening!” The man tried hard to act like a good father, but it looked somewhat unnatural and even a bit comical.
Si Junni, however, played along exceptionally well. “Okay, I’ll do my best. Give me some money for a taxi.”
The man readily took out his phone and transferred 1,000 yuan directly.
“Have a good meal at noon, and buy some clothes and shoes. Young girls are at the age where they love to look pretty.”
“Buy clothes and shoes? Then this money isn’t enough.”
The man was about to transfer more, but the woman beside him stopped him. “Brother Ming, it would be better if we went shopping with Junni together when we come back.”
“That’s true. Then Dad will go shopping with you when we get back.”
Hearing that she wouldn’t get more money, Si Junni turned and left without another word.
Still, she was in a pretty good mood—her little savings had just increased by another 1,000 yuan!
She glanced at the system interface.
The Energy Value was displayed as 100.
Si Junni understood now: no matter the form, as long as she could earn money, she could gain energy.
Instantly, her mind opened up to new possibilities. What was the most profitable thing in this world? Everything related to Awakened was the most profitable!
A perfectly standard sunrise industry!
So, if there was a chance, she should lean in this direction. Many of the things sold in the System Shop were simply miraculous—they could even train an ordinary person to the level of an Awakened.
This was Si Junni’s confidence to dominate in this world. So, from now on, making money and getting stronger would definitely be her top priorities.
Her home wasn’t too far from the school—just a half-hour walk. Plus, she had left early, so there was no way she’d be late. Si Junni couldn’t bear to spend money on a taxi.
Slinging her backpack over her shoulder, she started running.
At this moment, Si Junni confirmed that it was a soul transmigration, not a body transmigration.
Damn it, this physique was absolutely terrible! She was panting after not even running for long!
Forget about Treading on Waves—could she even finish an 800-meter run?! Had she never exercised since she was in the womb?!
Although Si Junni had grown up wild and free, deep down, she was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. Knowing full well that this world was an era where strength reigned supreme and fists spoke louder than words, she wouldn’t allow herself to continue being lazy.
Improving her strength was urgent and could not be delayed.”Today’s Special: Constitution Pills! Not 998, just 99 to take one home! Star products gathered in force, endless surprises in all styles! Host, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and grab them!”
“Cut the nonsense. Will you sell it for 9?”
“No way! 99, not a penny less!”
“19!”
“I’ll compromise, 89!”
“29!”
“79! Really can’t go any lower!”
“39!”
“….”
In the end, Si Junni still bought one Constitution Pill at the high price of 49 Energy Value.
Remaining Energy Balance: (As someone who died poor in your past life, can you really bear to see such a pitiful Energy Value? Take action! My Host!)
Si Junni couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. This system didn’t seem very smart.
Si Junni took a closer look at the product description.
[Constitution Pill: Comprehensively enhances physical strength, improves stamina, endurance, and resistance to blows! Great value for money! The best choice for smart people!]
It was pink, somewhat like a rainbow candy, slightly sweet when taken, but not very chewy. Before she could savor the taste, it had already melted. However, her body felt a warm sensation.
Although the fatigue from running from home still lingered, her overall condition was much better than before. Running back and forth a couple more times shouldn’t be a problem.
Just as she was about to reach the school, a man riding an electric scooter suddenly spoke up: “Little girl, didn’t your school teach you the running breathing technique? Running like this is inefficient and makes you tired easily.”
Si Junni thought carefully. This so-called running breathing technique—the original owner really hadn’t learned it, but it was part of the standard curriculum.
As for why “Si Junni” didn’t know it, it was probably because she zoned out? Or… couldn’t learn it?
Seeing Si Junni standing there dazed, the man across from her chuckled and waved his hand. “No rush, it’s easy to learn. I have the details here, along with a set of physical training methods. Here, take it back and have a look.”
Si Junni took it with both hands. “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome! These are all essential training materials for school. You can find plenty online, but mine is just more comprehensive, with key points highlighted.”
The man chuckled as he rode away. Perhaps it was a habit from being a teacher—he couldn’t help but meddle when he saw similar situations.
As Si Junni walked toward the school gate, she glanced at the materials in her hand. The breathing technique was a set of instructions, similar to the running methods from her past life but more advanced.
The physical training method was divided into a 21-day cycle, clearly outlining the exercises for each day.
Si Junni suddenly felt something strange. It seemed oddly similar to the body training techniques her Master had taught her…
“Si Junni?”
Si Junni stopped in her tracks, somewhat puzzled.
She didn’t understand who would call her. The original owner had no friends at school and was practically invisible. Most days, she wouldn’t even speak a single word.
Today was quite a coincidence.
Si Junni had a bright and beautiful appearance, with fair skin and eyes that slanted inward and upward at the corners. Though she wore no makeup and her hair was simply tied into a casual ponytail.Dressed in a simple sports jacket over a plain, solid-colored short-sleeved shirt, his casual attire seemed unassuming at first glance. Yet, the scrutinizing look in his eyes gave off an intensely aggressive vibe.
Combined with a relaxed demeanor that starkly contrasted with his sharp gaze, the overall effect was nothing short of striking…
