Chapter 6: Diary and Face Masks
Startled and shivering all over, Su Xiang leaped up, grabbed the washbasin, and swept in the towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush, rushing swiftly towards the water room
"Young Master Su, I believe your viewpoint needs correction; it is not only women who require skincare, but men do as well. Skin health is an important aspect of one's outward appearance. A man's skin condition not only affects the impression he makes on others but also influences his own emotions. Currently, first-tier stars in the universe spend several hours each day on skincare..." Liu Rong chattered on, only stopping when she realized Su Xiang was staring intently at her.

If he could freely stay inside the growth assistance device, then Su Xiang's time would unconsciously increase significantly
From noon until now, he has experienced an extraordinary number of events that would seem utterly impossible to an ordinary person
It took Su Xiang a full five minutes to regain his senses. He pressed his fingers against the dark crystal inlay, then closed his eyes. In an instant, a series of options appeared in his mind, such as entering the growth assistance device, calling the assistant, and engaging in entertainment activities.
When Su Xiang returned to the dormitory, a silly smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth, and the faint smile of Murong Xin'er kept surfacing in his mind
As the night deepened, Chen Hu, Zhang Jie, and Ye Chao had long fallen asleep, while Su Xiang remained wide awake, unusually excited, unable to sleep no matter how hard he tried
"4:50? Is there a class this early?" Su Xiang glanced at his watch and asked in confusion
After tossing and turning, Su Xiang finally fell into a drowsy sleep at three thirty in the morning. Even in his dreams, Su Xiang remained troubled, mumbling indistinctly, "Dreaming... it hurts, it is truly like the *illustrations*..."
At this moment, the eastern sky began to show a hint of dawn, while the other three individuals in the dormitory remained fast asleep
"Automatically start the beauty care course, Teacher Liu Rong will teach you skincare methods." As Su Xiang hurriedly brushed his teeth, Xiao Die's sweet voice rang out once again
Heavens, is Murong Xin'er looking at me? Su Xiang's heartbeat suddenly quickened, thumping like a drum, each beat louder than the last
As Su Xiang was feeling dizzy from the determinant, the dial of his watch suddenly flashed with a faint silvery light. Xiao Die quietly appeared beside Su Xiang and sweetly said: "Brother, it is 11:30, you should prepare to rest."
Su Xiang's dormitory is strictly divided into two factions. Chen Hu, Zhang Jie, and Ye Chao, three locals from City S, form one faction, while Su Xiang stands alone in the other. The relationship between the two sides is one of disdain and being disdainful, with Su Xiang being the one looked down upon. He comes from a family that is powerless, insignificant, and impoverished, while Chen Hu, Zhang Jie, and Ye Chao either have wealth or power in their families. Aside from Ye Chao occasionally speaking to Su Xiang, there is no interaction between the two factions, and the distinction is clear.

A punishment with an intensity of three? After being doubled, isn't that a punishment with an intensity of six
The system stipulates that, unless there are special circumstances, you must prepare for bed before 12:00. Otherwise, you will face a penalty of intensity level 3
Can I now stay freely inside the growth assistance device?" Su Xiang asked somewhat nervously
While Su Xiang was sleeping soundly, a sweet voice from Xiao Die rang in his ears
Xin'er, one day I will have the right to stand before you at hetushu.com and tell you that I love you. Su Xiang wrote this sentence on the last page of his diary
Such dormitory relationships are truly terrible. Su Xiang feels that the relationships with his dormitory classmates in high school were much more harmonious, where they called each other brothers, chatted casually, and enjoyed a carefree life
Although Liu Rong demonstrated very carefully and Su Xiang followed along earnestly, some details were inevitably done incorrectly. The consequence of making mistakes was a punishment of two instances of intensity level two, which was within the range that Su Xiang could accept.
In the real world, one hour is equivalent to twelve hours within the growth assistance device, and ten days in the real world corresponds to one hundred and twenty days within the growth assistance device
As Chen Hu, Ye Chao, and Zhang Jie were engaged in a lively conversation in the dormitory, Su Xiang took out his MP3 player, put on his headphones, and turned the volume up to the maximum to avoid being disturbed by their chatter
Indeed, Su Xiang felt that using "a toad wanting to eat swan meat" was a more fitting description, as there existed an insurmountable distance between him and Murong Xin'er
This can be referred to as love at first sight, or unrequited love
Su Xiang nodded slightly, pressing his right thumb against the outer crystal cover of the watch. In a flash of light, Su Xiang quietly disappeared from the dormitory
"Puchi," the little butterfly beside her couldn't help but smile.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd on the playground, Su Xiang tirelessly ran in circles from 8:30 to 10:00, for a full hour and a half. Su Xiang's physical coordination significantly improved, and he hardly stumbled while jogging.
Oh. Su Xiang responded and suddenly remembered that there were only ten days left until the final exams, and he was busy with his review. Feeling somewhat anxious, he said: "Xiao Die, in a few days I will have exams, will I not have enough time to review?"
Am I not dreaming? ... ... ... It hurts, I am not dreaming, the growth assistance device is still in my hand ... ? ... Is it really not a dream ... ? ... ... It hurts, it is not a dream. ... ... ! Is it really not a dream? !
For some reason, Murong Xin'er suddenly turned her head and glanced back, her gaze landing precisely on the sweating Su Xiang, and Murong Xin'er smiled gently, revealing two charming dimples
Oh, that's good. Su Xiang let out a long sigh of relief, swallowed some water to spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, and simultaneously wondered, "What should I do?"
Brother, it is time to get up
Brother, you can rest assured about this; there will definitely be enough time. Most of the training courses are completed within the growth assistance device. Spending two to three hours a day in the growth assistance device will allow you to complete the training subjects. The remaining time can be freely allocated by you, brother
It is truly ... ... truly impressive
Su Xiang paused his brushing, looking in confusion at the capable beauty who had quietly appeared beside him—Liu Rong. Su Xiang remembered that she was a figure shaped by the integration of over 300 renowned makeup artists, beauticians, stylists, and fashion designers from across the universe
Do men also need skincare? In Su Xiang's impression, taking care of one's skin is something that should be done by women. Men, on the other hand, should be robust and hearty, drinking from large bowls and eating large portions of meat. Therefore, he instinctively feels a bit repulsed by those men who spend all day in front of the mirror, occasionally pulling out a bottle of cologne to spray on themselves, let alone taking care of their own skin.
Su Xiang did not lift his head, thinking to himself: "Rest? But I am not tired yet?"
Su Xiang exerted considerable effort to find the option for shape transformation among numerous choices. After clicking to select it, he discovered two shapes to choose from: one resembling the current metal block and the other resembling a watch. There was also an option to exchange or input new template data. Su Xiang selected the watch design and then pressed confirm. In just a second, a prompt indicating the completion of the transformation flashed in his mind
"Do I need to remember what you just said?" This was the first question Su Xiang asked when he realized.
After a moment of sighing and reflection, Su Xiang raised his hand to glance at the watch on his wrist. His understanding of the Tenglong Growth Assistant Device deepened once again—this device also served as a vast storage space, much like the storage rings found in cultivation novels, capable of holding many items. At the very least, it could store a variety of different facial masks
Liu Rong shook her head and smiled, saying: "No need, Young Master Su, I just want to tell you that men also need maintenance"
At 11:59, as Su Xiang climbed into bed and lay down, he couldn't help but touch his smooth and delicate face: Did I just apply a deep-cleansing acne mask and a skin care mask?! It seems the results are quite good!
As long as he is willing to work hard, one day he will surely have enough resources to stand before Murong Xin'er and pursue her openly and justly
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Su Xiang was still taken aback by everything he saw before him: the metallic block-shaped growth assistance device on the desk had transformed into a silver-white mechanical watch. At first glance, the watch seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection of its flowing lines and exquisite dial, one would realize that this watch is undoubtedly worth a considerable sum
Su Xiang has secretly liked Murong Xin'er all along. Ever since he saw Murong Xin'er for the first time, he has been hopelessly in love with her
Su Xiang opened his drowsy eyes and was immediately startled awake by the sight of a small butterfly floating in the air, his fatigue vanishing completely
After putting the diary into the drawer, Su Xiang took out the book "Linear Algebra" to prepare for review, as there were only a little over ten days left until the exam. Linear algebra is a particularly difficult subject, and if he does not review properly, he will definitely fail.
Yes, brother, the plan for the day lies in the morning. Starting today, we will provide you with a comprehensive system of training
"Young Master Su, let us begin with washing your face. It is best to use warm water, with the optimal temperature between 30 and 40 degrees..." Liu Rong said while demonstrating.
Su Xiang put on his watch and walked towards the door, with the playground as his destination
Of course, brother, you have already passed the adaptation period, and there is no longer a time limit for your body to shrink. Xiao Die said with a smile, "Brother, can we start today's lesson now?"
It is evident that Su Xiang is afraid of being punished; he fears that Liu Rong might, like Adriana, after saying a lot, pose several questions, and if he answers incorrectly, he will face system penalties
Skincare methods
Su Xiang eagerly opened his eyes
However, Su Xiang now possesses a growth assistance device from the future called the Dragon's Growth Assistant
As Su Xiang stepped out of the playground, at that very moment, he caught a whiff of a fragrant breeze passing by—Murong Xin'er, the universally acknowledged first beauty of S University, had just returned from evening self-study, accompanied by a gracefully dressed beauty. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked past Su Xiang.
