Don't disturb me playing games

After the interdimensional storms of decades ago, a large number of interdimensional fields appeared around the world, and many legendary interdimensional beings such as gods, immortals, ghosts, monsters, angels, demons, elves, etc. were discovered. Humans have obtained their abilities by hunting these interdimensional beings... Yu Qiusheng, now with graying hair, was giving a lecture while his gaze frequently drifted to the corner of the last row in the classroom.

Other students were all listening attentively, but the boy in that corner was using his textbook as a shield in front of him and sleeping soundly on the desk, with occasional light snores audible.

Yu Qiusheng shook his head imperceptibly and sighed inwardly, "What's the use of talent? How can one achieve great things if they can't even withstand a little setback? Although that failure was indeed a heavy blow, it's impossible for him to live up to the praise of the old principal by just giving up like this."

Yu Qiusheng thought of the words the old principal had said to him before retiring and looked again at the boy sleeping soundly with drool at the corner of his mouth, shaking his head and sighing once more.

"Qiusheng, I've seen many geniuses in my life. To sum up, there are two types of geniuses," the old principal's eyes had been bright at that time.

"Which two?" Yu Qiusheng had asked curiously at that time.

"One type is Zhou Wen, and the other is all the other geniuses."

At that time, the old principal's words left a deep impression on Yu Qiusheng, but the student who was so highly praised by the old principal had fallen into a state of not seeking progress, only knowing to sleep in class and play games on his phone after class.

Yu Qiusheng had also tried to inspire Zhou Wen's ambition and make him get back on his feet, but after several talks, Zhou Wen remained the same, still sleeping in class and playing games after class, no longer working hard at cultivation, as if he had completely lost the desire to improve.

"Ring!"

With the sound of the bell signaling the end of class, Yu Qiusheng saw Zhou Wen, who had been sleeping on the desk, suddenly sit up energetically, grab his phone, and rush out of the classroom without looking back. He couldn't help but feel even more disappointed and said to himself, "Old Principal, I've done my best. It's just that Zhou Wen is truly a hopeless case."

Zhou Wen jogged all the way and soon left the teaching building, arriving at a quiet corner within the school.

Zhou Wen was well aware of the strange looks from the teachers and other students in the school, but he didn't care at all.

Others only thought that Zhou Wen had given up on himself because he couldn't take the blow of failure, but Zhou Wen himself knew very well that he had never cared about that one failure. The reason he had become so "self-abandonment" was something others couldn't understand and he couldn't explain.

Unlocking the screen of his phone, Zhou Wen skillfully entered a game program named "Ant Nest." In no time, the screen displayed the interior of a dark ant nest, with many black ants crawling through the winding tunnels.

Looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, Zhou Wen pricked his finger with a thorn and dropped a drop of blood on the phone screen.

The next second, a strange scene appeared: the drop of Zhou Wen's blood seeped through the phone screen and condensed into a small figure made of blood within the game screen of the ant nest. There was also an information introduction next to the small figure.

Zhou Wen: 16 years old.

Life Level: Mortal.

Strength: 9.

Speed: 5.

Physique: 8.

Essence: 4.

Essence Technique: "Bitter Meditation".

Essence Skill: None.

Essence Pet: None.

Since the interdimensional storms, various interdimensional lives had emerged and could be roughly divided into four levels: Mortal, Legendary, Epic, and Mythic. Humans were at the lowest level of Mortal, but they could enhance their physical fitness and evolve their life levels by practicing essence techniques.

However, the evolution speed was very slow by merely practicing essence techniques and polishing oneself. Hunting interdimensional beings and seizing their dimension crystals for oneself could accelerate the evolution.

But the places where interdimensional beings appeared were extremely dangerous. Besides some areas that humans had already explored, entering other areas was almost a one-way ticket to death, and not everyone was willing to risk their lives.

Moreover, the Earth Federation had clearly stipulated that minors were not allowed to enter interdimensional areas.

The "Bitter Meditation" that Zhou Wen practiced was a kind of essence technique, which relied purely on hard cultivation to temper oneself and produce essence without relying on any external forces.

In the federation, there were many geniuses who could cultivate essence by the age of sixteen, but like Zhou Wen, who only relied on practicing "Bitter Meditation" to temper his own body and produce essence without any external help, there might be only a few in the entire Earth Federation, and in a small city like Guide City, he was probably the only one in history.

At that time, all the teachers and classmates of Guide High School believed that Zhou Wen would surely make a mark in the future. But who would have thought that not long after that, a transfer student came to Guide High School and challenged Zhou Wen, defeating him with just one move, and that student was a girl.

Ever since then, Zhou Wen stopped working hard at cultivation and became "self-abandonment." Others thought Zhou Wen was mentally weak and couldn't handle setbacks and blows, but only Zhou Wen himself knew that his change had nothing to do with that failure but was entirely because of the mysterious phone in his hand.

Zhou Wen looked down at his phone and kept manipulating the small figure made of blood in the phone to kill the black ants in the ant nest.

"Kill mortal creature strong ant... Kill mortal creature strong ant... Kill mortal creature strong ant..."

Every time Zhou Wen killed an ant, a prompt would pop up on the screen, flashing rapidly.

"Ding!"

After killing an unknown number of strong ants, he suddenly heard a clear sound, and then a special prompt appeared on the screen: Killed mortal creature strong ant, found essence crystal.

Zhou Wen looked closely and saw that after a strong ant was killed, it dropped a crystal that was as clear as diamond with a number 5 on it.

A look of delight appeared on Zhou Wen's face, and he quickly manipulated the figure made of blood to pick up the essence crystal. As the essence crystal touched the figure's finger, it immediately turned into a strange energy and drilled into its body.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Wen also felt a force coming from the phone into his body, like an electric shock or a thunderbolt, making his internal essence quickly fill up.

The essence value on the information of the figure made of blood also increased from 4 points to 5 points.

Interdimensional beings had a certain chance to drop various crystals when killed. The most common ones were strength, speed, physique, and essence crystals.

Using a strength crystal could enhance a human's strength, using a speed crystal could increase speed, and the other crystals had similar effects.

However, in reality, there were no numerical displays on the crystals, and humans couldn't see their own attribute values either. After using a strength crystal, one only knew that their strength had increased but didn't know by how much.

The mysterious phone in Zhou Wen's hand not only allowed him to obtain dimension crystals in the game that others needed to risk their lives to get from interdimensional fields but also let him clearly see the numerical values of himself, interdimensional beings, and dimension crystals.
