"Come on, everyone line up and smile."
"Alright, no more crying, we'll see each other again. Who knows, we might be classmates again in primary school."
"Parents, come join us for a group photo!"
At Rainbow Kindergarten, a group of teachers was busy organizing the senior class children for a photo session to remember.
The three years of kindergarten had passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, childhood friends, had both graduated smoothly from Rainbow Kindergarten.
They had grown from four-year-old kids to now seven-year-old big kids.
They had left a significant mark on their lives.
"Han Han, come over here to Aunt Xin, and take a photo with Chen Chen."
"Coming!"
Shen Qinghan ran over to Zhang Wanxin with a smile and took a joint photo with her favorite, Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan next to him and realized his childhood friend had unknowingly grown into an astonishing beauty.
In the entire Rainbow Kindergarten, she was a particularly dazzling presence, the secret crush of most boys.
Luckily, his looks weren't bad either, just as dazzling.
And over the past three years, he had scooped up all the awards at Rainbow Kindergarten, making his charm even more overwhelming than Shen Qinghan's.
Over those three years, he had received many gifts from the girls in kindergarten.
Every once in a while, he would find snacks from secret admirers stuffed into his drawer.
After the photo session ended.
Xu Meng found Zhang Wanxin and asked:
"Wanxin, where do you plan to send Chen Chen for elementary school?"
"Feels like all the nearby schools are similar, so we're thinking of the closest one, Sunshine Primary School."
"Sunshine Primary School is quite good. Then I'll have our Han Han follow along."
Xu Meng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan immediately beamed and looked at Lin Zichen, very excitedly saying:
"Chen Chen, we can continue to be classmates in primary school."
"Yeah, continue to be classmates."
"Then for middle school, high school, and university, can we keep being classmates?"
"Sure." Lin Zichen said with a smile.
He had grown accustomed to having Shen Qinghan around and enjoyed the feeling of growing up together as childhood friends, hoping it would continue indefinitely.
...
Summer vacation passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the September school season.
For Lin Zichen, life in elementary school wasn't much different from kindergarten.
His days were spent deep into his own books during classes, delving further into the background of this world.
Then, after classes, he would find a secluded corner to secretly engage in intense physical training, pushing further on the path of evolution.
The only difference was that Lin Zichen no longer needed his parents to drop him off or pick him up from school.
He chose to walk to and from school, giving himself a bit more freedom while also giving his parents a break.
Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin were both quite reassured about not having to pick him up or drop him off.
After all, the school was not far away, just a ten-minute walk.
However, what truly reassured the couple was that Lin Zichen had always been exceptionally excellent from a young age, skilled in both academics and athletics, and could protect himself well without their worries.
Seeing Lin Zichen walking to and from school, Shen Qinghan also clamored to join him.
Shen Jianye and Xu Meng were initially reluctant, but seeing how persistent she was, they finally agreed.
Thinking that with Lin Zichen, their somewhat naive daughter would be well-protected.
...
This morning.
Lin Zichen finished his breakfast and waited at the house entrance for Shen Qinghan to come out so they could go to school together.
While waiting, with nothing better to do, he thought to open his character panel to check the data on it.
[Name: Lin Zichen]
[Age: 7 years]
[Biological Level: Ordinary (Second Order)]
[Biometric Attributes: Use It or Lose It, Divine Human Wisdom Root]
The Biological Level is still Ordinary, Second Order.
However, compared to two and a half years ago when he was still in the junior class of Rainbow Kindergarten, Lin Zichen's strength had greatly improved.
He could now lift a 200kg barbell with one hand.
His vertical jump could reach up to 2 meters.
His 100-meter sprint had broken the 8-second barrier...
Each of these figures had shattered the world records of his previous life.
If he were in his previous life, he would have been regarded as a superhuman.
But in this Earth with extraordinary powers, he was still far from the definition of a superhero.
In the past two and a half years, Lin Zichen had searched online and watched many videos related to Genetic Integrators, Mechanically Modified Humans, and Exotic Beasts.
Those in the videos could fly in the sky, move mountains to fill seas, and do anything imaginable, comparable to terrestrial Immortal Gods.
Every time he watched, he felt extremely shocked and filled with awe.
"This world contains many powerful beings beyond comprehension; I must strive to evolve and hopefully one day reach that status akin to that of Immortal Gods..."
Lin Zichen thought to himself.
At that moment, Shen Qinghan finished her breakfast and came out.
She was wearing a light blue summer school uniform, bouncing energetically up to Lin Zichen with her radiant, water-brimming eyes, smiling:
"Xiao Chen, sorry to keep you waiting."
Since Lin Zichen graduated from kindergarten, Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin no longer called him Chenchen, switching to Xiao Chen instead, making it sound less childish.
Shen Qinghan, having heard it frequently, also started calling him Xiao Chen.
As for Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen still called her Han Han.
After all, girls are different from boys.
The repetitive nicknames just sound cute for girls, not childish.
...
Arriving at Sunshine Primary School.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were still seated together.
But they never talked during class, both quietly engaging in their own activities.
Lin Zichen was reading an extracurricular book he brought from home.
Shen Qinghan, on the other hand, was attentively listening to the teacher.
Back in kindergarten, Shen Qinghan appeared rather dull and seemed not very bright.
When learning English, she could pronounce "grandmother" as "rolling your mother's land".
But come primary school, she became exceptionally clever, consistently scoring second in her class in every test.
The reason for such a drastic change was partly that her teacher parents tutored her well at home, and partly that Lin Zichen tutored her at school.
"Zi Chen, have you finished reading the 'Biological Structure' book from yesterday?"
During class, the math teacher passed by Lin Zichen and seeing that he was reading a different book from yesterday, asked with a smile.
Lin Zichen turned to the next page of his book, without looking up, and replied, "Yes, I have finished it."
He always scored full marks in math tests, earning the right to read extra books during math classes without worrying about the math teacher's opinion.
The math teacher exclaimed, "Zi Chen, you really are amazing. I'm counting on you for next week's national primary school math competition."
Lin Zichen coolly said, "Don't worry, teacher, I'll take first place."
The other students in the class watched this scene, their faces showing envy.
Feeling the gazes from her classmates, Shen Qinghan straightened up slightly, proud and honored by the excellence of her childhood friend.
Meanwhile, Lin Zichen was internally unfazed, simply quietly absorbing knowledge from his book.
...
In the days that followed.
Lin Zichen was always the top of his school in every test and broke school records at every sports event.
Whether they were good or bad students, they all felt awe in his presence.
Just when he thought his six years of elementary school would pass uneventfully, and he would smoothly become the top student of the school,
one day, the class suddenly welcomed a very special transfer student.
It was during a math class in the first half of the second grade.
In the middle of the class, the homeroom teacher suddenly brought a girl with white hair into the classroom and told everyone that she was the new transfer student, starting from today.
The moment he saw the girl with white hair.
Lin Zichen sensed an aura from her that was not of this world.
