Goddess Cultivation Plan

"Congratulations, you have another task. Keep up the good work~"

A twisted smirk, which Lin Jin was very familiar with, appeared on the black cat's face. It opened its mouth, revealing a set of large white teeth, and then the task appeared on Lin Jin's phone screen on its own.

Temporary task: Study hard and make progress every day.

As a goddess, you should not only have a sweet voice, beautiful appearance, and multiple talents, but you also need to have good grades. Of course, this cat doesn't expect you to suddenly become exceptionally smart and studious in an instant. Just aim for a score of 80 on the English quiz in next Wednesday's class. [No cheating allowed.]

Reward: Intermediate vocal proficiency. [Your current vocal skills are at the beginner level, by the way.]

Punishment: All subject teachers have noticed your daily truancy and as a result, you have failed and need to retake the courses.

After Lin Jin glanced through the task, she suddenly felt a headache. It was equivalent to challenging a boxing coach without cheating in order to score above 80 in English, and she was also required to win.

However, the reward for this task is quite tempting. It seems to be the compensation that Black Cat mentioned before. But the requirements for this task are too excessive, aren't they?

Lin Jin cast her gaze towards the reward for intermediate vocal proficiency. Although it was only intermediate, it should be sufficient for handling the New Year's Eve program. Therefore, in order to obtain the reward for another task, she must complete this one. Moreover, she absolutely cannot accept the punishment of failing all subjects.

Furrowing her brows slightly, Lin Jin felt like she had encountered the most difficult task in her entire life. Even when the black cat forced her to reveal her identity, she didn't feel as troubled as she did now. You see, from junior high until now, the best English grade she ever achieved was a score of sixty in the first semester of Grade 7. And that was with some lucky guesses, plus an extra two points given to her by the teacher. This grade was already the best English score Lin Jin had ever achieved in her life.

Later on, she never passed English even once, with an average score of 35 points. The lowest score she got was in the single digits, and the highest was just over 40 points.

"Getting busier and busier..." Lin Jin helplessly rested her chin on her hands and stared at the computer blankly. "I have to practice my fake voice, practice singing, and memorize English. I even have to listen attentively in English class. Why do I feel like I'm going to be overwhelmed with all this busyness?"

"I don't know." The black cat heard Lin Jin's muttering and immediately spoke up to console her, saying, "Actually, this task is very simple. Just think carefully. I'll help you too."

"No, it's already good enough that you're not kicking me when I'm down." Lin Jin rolled her eyes. She also knew why the black cat said the task was simple. If she wanted to, she could trigger more temporary tasks relentlessly in the following days and crazily hoard memory bread. Then, on the mornings before the exams, she could memorize all the English vocabulary from the textbook using the memory bread. With that, the task would be essentially completed.

But even if she were to complete a temporary task in a day, earning a piece of bread each day, Lin Jin still wouldn't be able to memorize the entire English textbook using those small pieces of bread, which are smaller than her palm. Therefore, she still needs to attend classes, listen to the teacher's lectures, and select important texts and words.

However, Lin Jin feels that trying to eat over ten or even dozens of pieces of bread in one morning, even if they are small, would be impossible for her appetite to handle. If she can't finish the task, that's fine, but she definitely doesn't want to overeat and harm herself.

"It's about time." Lin Jin glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer, no longer paying attention to the black cat. She stood up, walked to the side of Wu Min's bed, and slapped it hard a few times, shouting, "The sun is shining on your butt, get up!"

Startled, Wu Min jolted up from the bed, looking around in confusion. Finally, his gaze settled on Lin Jin, who was standing beside the bed.

"You'll scare people to death like this, you know?"

Even though it was early December, Wu Min was still sleeping in only a loose pair of beach shorts. After complaining, he suddenly realized that his upper body was exposed and quickly covered himself with the blanket. "Hey, Lin Jin, aren't you embarrassed too?"

"Stop being so dramatic."

Lin Jin suddenly felt that Wu Min didn't seem as repulsive to her as she had imagined, "Haven't I even seen your thing before?"
"Huh?" Wu Min was momentarily stunned, but then he immediately burst into laughter, with a lewd expression. "Then I want to see yours too. Come on, take off your pants quickly."

"Not showing it to you." Lin Jin turned her head and saw Wen Xuan already awakened by her and Wu Min's noisy conversation, lying on the bed playing with his phone. She immediately shifted her focus and said, "Wen Xuan, it's already 9:40, and you're still not getting up?"

"No rush, the English teacher takes attendance after class anyway, a few minutes late won't matter." Wen Xuan yawned lazily, looking completely relaxed, like a slacker. "You continue flirting with Wu Min first, don't bother with me."

"Flirting? Flirting with your mom." Lin Jin kicked the bed frame of Wen Xuan, but in reality, she didn't have much anger. Instead, she felt that the relationship between herself and Wen Xuan and Wu Min seemed to have returned to the kind of teasing friendship they had before, rather than the carefulness in dealing with her from last night.

"Get up quickly, I have to go to class too." Lin Jin had already finished getting ready and stretched lazily. She took out a cigarette and a lighter from the drawer. "I'm going out to smoke, hurry up."

"You actually go to class?" Wen Xuan mocked as usual.

Lin Jin paid no attention and showed a faint smile on her face. It was the first time she felt so good being mocked and ridiculed.

"Hey, Lin Jin." When Lin Jin was about to go to the balcony with a cigarette in her mouth, Wu Min suddenly called out to her.

"What's up?"

"Can't you stop smoking?" Wu Min had already put on long sleeves and was planning to take down the coat hanging on the wall. "It's not good for a girl to smoke every day."

"I'm a girl, yet I stay in the boys' dormitory every day" Lin Jin defended herself with her newfound identity as a woman. "Don't you think it gives off a rebellious, mature sister vibe when a girl smokes?"

"At least I can't tell from looking at you."

"Hmph." Lin Jin waved her hand dismissively, grabbed her phone, and walked towards the balcony. She glanced at Cai JianLai, who was brushing his teeth on the balcony. It had been a while since this guy from the neighboring dormitory had spoken to Lin Jin, but she keenly noticed that he occasionally glanced at her through the window.

"Damn gay guy, smoking again." Cai JianLai had no idea about Lin Jin's current identity and continued his usual sharp tongue, "Be careful of getting lung cancer. If you smoke yourself to death, don't blame others."

"Oh, you seem concerned about me" Lin Jin said with a playful smile, leaning close to Cai JianLai. "Could it be that you like me?"

"Wow! Lin Xin! Your wife is seducing me!" Cai JianLai exaggeratedly shouted, quickly moving away from Lin Jin, his face filled with disgust. "Gay guy, stay away from me! Go! Go!"

"Crazy person." Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him, lit a cigarette, but suddenly noticed her phone vibrating. Ignoring it, she continued smoking, causing the phone to vibrate even more eagerly.

Feeling somewhat discontented, she unlocked her phone and found the black cat staring at her with a serious expression. Next to the black cat's head was a dialogue bubble tinged with red.

Smoking is included in the prohibited activities. By smoking a cigarette, you'll stay a woman for another week! Starting from now.

"Hello?" Lin Jin promptly threw away the cigarette she had just lit, with a face full of helplessness. "Is it necessary to do this?"
