Chapter 12 – The Black Cat’s Goddess Theory

Lin Jin usually doesn't attend classes, such as ideological and political education, English, color theory, sketching, and so on. Except for one Photoshop class, he usually doesn't go to class.

The reason is quite simple. The classroom for the Photoshop class is located in the practical training building, which is closer to the dormitory building. The other courses are in the academic building, which is farther away, and he is too lazy to walk.

Since discovering the decline in his physical strength, Lin Jin has started experimenting with various indicators of his body, such as comparing arm strength with the weak Wen Xuan by arm wrestling, or running a few laps on the playground at night. In the end, he despaired as he discovered that his body had indeed deteriorated significantly compared to before.

Previously, his strength wasn't great, but at least it was within the average range for men. He appeared thin and weak, but his muscles were relatively solid. He could run five or six laps on the 400-meter track without stopping. But now! Not only has the little muscle he had turned into flabby fat, but even using both hands, he could barely defeat Wen Xuan in arm wrestling. He almost collapsed on the playground after running just one lap!

He felt that his life had become somewhat gloomy.

After finishing his run, clutching his kidneys, Lin Jin staggered back to the dormitory. As soon as he entered, he saw Wu Min's girlfriend sitting behind him, focused on watching Wu Min play video games.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Lin Jin forced a smile and greeted her.

Wu Min's girlfriend is probably called... Chen Shiqi, right? Lin Jin is not very familiar with her. After all, she is Wu Min's girlfriend, and if he becomes too familiar, Lin Jin is afraid that his handsome appearance might tempt Wu Min and cause a rift in their relationship with Chen Shiqi. So far, he has never directly asked her name, only hearing it mentioned a few times in conversations with Wu Min.

Chen Shiqi is quite beautiful. She has a loli-like figure with extremely long and pretty legs. She also speaks in a cute, babyish voice, and her face is round and looks like a steamed bun. Her personality is also decent, at least Lin Jin has never seen her get angry.

Chen Shiqi turned her head and nodded at Lin Jin, then continued to look at Wu Min's laptop. Wu Min, somewhat surprised, turned around and asked, "Where did you go? You didn't stay inside playing on the computer and went out in the evening?"

"I went for a run" Lin Jin replied, gasping for breath as he sat in his chair. Although the temperature had dropped, he still felt hot all over.

"A run?" Wen Xuan, lying on the bed, exclaimed as soon as he heard Lin Jin's words, "You, a lazy person, actually went for a run?"

"What's wrong? Can't I suddenly feel like exercising?" Lin Jin glanced at him, his eyes carrying a hint of hostility, as he was already in a somewhat bad mood.

Wen Xuan's body trembled, he awkwardly laughed and continued playing on the computer.

Lin Jin originally intended to go straight for a shower. After running, his body was drenched in sweat, making him uncomfortable. However, as soon as his hand touched the phone in his pocket, he instantly lost the thought of taking a shower. He immediately took out his phone and typed a message to the black cat.

"Why is my body so much worse than before!"

The Black Cat was initially not around, but a few minutes after sending the message, that black cat leisurely walked in from outside the screen, with hazy eyes and tilting its head, asking, "What's wrong? It's late at night, I'm already sleeping."

"It's not even 8 o'clock yet!" Lin Jin's face turned dark as he interrogated, "What's going on? It's one thing if you made me grow breasts, but why has my physical condition become so poor!"

"Since you want to become a goddess, why do you care so much?" The black cat looked innocent, "And have you ever seen a goddess who is a muscular tomboy and can take on five people at once? Aren't they usually sickly and endearing, evoking sympathy and affection?"

Lin Jin's temples pulsed, and he almost raised his phone to throw it on the ground. However, he quickly calmed down. After all, the phone was his own. He continued to question the black cat, "But even if I want to become a goddess, shouldn't I excel in everything?! Not to mention taking on five people, at least running at an average level isn't too much to ask, right!"

"Besides, it's not like I asked to become some stupid goddess!" He gritted his teeth, wanting to shout at the black cat.

But if that's the case, his roommate will definitely think he's having a mental breakdown. "Okay, okay, you keep bothering me every day." The black cat grew a little impatient, waving its paw. "Anyway, the goddess in my mind is someone who excels in the arts, is pure and lovely, charming and obedient, evoking strong protective instincts."

"Are you feeling too idle or something?" The black cat looked annoyed and couldn't be bothered to explain further to Lin Jin. "Well, then I'll give you another task to enrich your nightlife."

In the next second, a task popped up on Lin Jin's phone screen.

Temporary Task: Strengthening Relationships

Do you remember that girl named Ruiqiu from yesterday? Yes, just chat with her to strengthen your relationship. Don't bother me anymore, okay?

Reward: Memory Bread as usual.

Punishment: Streaking on the street.

As soon as Lin Jin saw this, he couldn't control himself and slammed his fist on the table, making a loud "clang" sound. The other three people in the dormitory immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"They're trying to trick me again!" Lin Jin lowered his head, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He clenched his teeth and muttered under his breath, "Damn it, it hurts so much..."

"Lin Jin? What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Wu Min walked over and stood behind Lin Jin, expressing concern. "If it's a small issue, tell us about it. We can help you brainstorm solutions."

"No need." Lin Jin, holding his phone, walked straight out of the dormitory. He could faintly hear Chen Shiqi complaining to Wu Min about being startled by the sound when he slammed the table.

"Memory Bread..." Lin Jin's hand, gripping the phone, was still trembling slightly. It wasn't from anger, but mainly from the pain.

Yesterday, when Lin Jin completed the temporary task of striking up a conversation, he received this so-called Memory Bread. The effect was pretty good, just like in the anime, but the problem was, there was only one piece... and after consuming the bread, the things from the book would be imprinted vividly in his mind, but after half a day, there was almost nothing left.

After searching online, he found out that once the Memory Bread was digested, it became useless.

Originally, he had hoped to rely on this thing to pass the end-of-term English exam, but this highly anticipated item turned out to be useless. It made him feel annoyed with the black cat, especially combined with the physical tests throughout the day and the attitude of the black cat today...

The phone suddenly vibrated, and Lin Jin lifted his hand to check, finding that it was a reminder for the previous temporary task.

He sighed, no matter how out of control his emotions were earlier, he didn't actually want to streak on the street. Now he believed that this punishment would indeed happen, especially since even the Memory Bread from Doraemon appeared out of thin air.

"So annoying." Frustrated, he ran his hand through his hair and turned around, re-entering the dormitory once again.

Since it was about chatting, the task didn't specify that it had to be done in person. He decided to exchange a few words with the girl on his phone.
