The next day, Lin Jin wasn't feeling great.
He was drowsily slumped over his desk, dumbfoundedly staring at the teacher lecturing upfront. His eyelids kept drooping, but he would quickly snap up and then frantically hold his eyelids open with both hands.
F*ck, I’m so sleepy.
"What's wrong?" Wu Min, who was sitting beside him, propped his cheek with one hand and looked at Lin Jin's sleepy appearance. "Didn't sleep well last night?"
"Yeah." Lin Jin sighed. The teacher's lecture on script writing techniques and other theories was making him, who was already sleepy, feel even more like he was about to be hypnotized to sleep.
Even though the hidden cameras had been removed by the police, Lin Jin always felt like he was being watched. As someone who was sensitive inside, he couldn't fall asleep in this situation where he felt as if someone was watching him from the darkness.
Besides, he couldn't be sure if all the cameras in his rental room were truly removed. What if some were missed? Then wouldn't he still be under someone's surveillance?
Even though the black cat claimed the owner of the cameras was the landlord, Lin Jin didn't fully trust the cat's words. After all, that cat loved to run its mouth, even more so than Lin Jin himself.
"Speaking of which, I found hidden cameras in my rental yesterday." Lin Jin propped himself up from the desk. Then resting his chin on his hands, he drowsily said, "One in my bathroom and another opposite my bed."
"!" Wu Min was about to show some concern for Lin Jin but then heard him say.
"But apparently, those two cameras couldn't capture my body at all. One could only capture my head, and the other could only get my calves. The person who installed those cameras must be an idiot."
Just as he was speaking, Lin Jin felt his phone vibrate violently. He frowned but continued without paying attention to the notification, "That rental had hidden cameras in a lot of rooms. I feel like I got scammed."
"The landlord did it?" Wu Min frowned. He had visited Lin Jin's rental before and also knew friends who lived there, so he knew the landlord was a middle aged aunty. "It doesn't make sense. Why would an aunty be filming this stuff?"
"They’re just rotten inside." Wen Xuan chimed in.
Lin Jin couldn't deny it and simply curled his lip. After encountering this incident with the hidden cameras, he looked up similar cases last night and found that usually, it wasn’t the landlords installing the hidden cameras but rather people who wanted to cause trouble.
Anyways, it was said that landlords rarely do such things as they care about their reputation. Most of the hidden cameras were installed by people with nefarious intentions around the landlord.
This time, it must also be someone with malicious intent who installed the cameras, right?
"Could also be someone from outside who installed them." Lin Jin frowned and said "But those two cameras, one can only capture my head, and the other my calves, so it's all good."
"That's just being lucky, then?"
"Not really, I get recorded every day, you know?" Lin Jin retorted.
He was constantly being spied on by the black cat. Thankfully, it was just a cat and didn't have the kind of thinking and aesthetic judgment humans do, or Lin Jin would have been driven crazy long ago.
"?" Wu Min was confused by those words. He looked at Lin Jin in confusion, hoping for an explanation.
Even though Lin Jin was so sleepy his brain was a bit fuzzy, he still knew what could be said and what couldn't. Realizing he had misspoken, he immediately shut up.
Today's classes would last for three sessions, six hours total. After the two morning sessions, Lin Jin didn't return to his rental. Instead, he went back to the dormitory with Wu Min and Wen Xuan.
Wu Min just returned to the dorm, went to the bathroom, washed his face, and then called out to Lin Jin.
"I'm off to deliver food."
"Deliver food?" Lin Jin looked up at him in surprise. "Since when did you become so broke that you need to do food delivery? Does it pay well?"
Wu Min shrugged helplessly, "I spent almost all the money within a week after coming back to school and I felt too embarrassed to ask my mom for more."
"How's the treatment on your side?" Lin Jin felt it might be necessary to restart his part time job as a food delivery guy if things were decent.
"Ten yuan an hour, meals included." Wu Min tidied up his desk, took a sun hat from the wardrobe, and put it on his head, "It’s only about forty to fifty a day, but I save on food so it’s not bad."
Ten yuan an hour, meaning you can get paid no matter how many orders you do, right? So if the business was slow and you only deliver two or three orders in an hour, does that mean you could just happily sit in the shop and make money while playing on your phone?
Lin Jin's eyes sparkled, feeling that this job seemed quite suitable for him.
"Don't overthink. It’s tiring work, usually doing fifty to sixty deliveries a day." Wu Min sighed. He stretched his arms and yawned "I'm off."
"Bye."
All of Lin Jin’s things had been moved to the rental room. Seeing Wu Min leave, he unhesitatingly sat down at Wu Min's spot and turned on the computer to watch some shows or something.
But, the task from yesterday was already completed, and the rewards for game proficiency had already been distributed. Maybe he should play some games on Wu Min’s computer to see if he had really gotten better?
If the effects were really good, then maybe he could start a gaming livestream to complete the task that had less than half its time remaining but still zero progress?
Although getting game proficiency sounded silly, Lin Jin actually felt like there was heavenly intervention aiding him when he played. His last hitting, warding, and overall game awareness had inexplicably improved by leaps and bounds. Watching this pond of 2000 mmr players felt like watching kindergarten kids.
He suddenly felt like a god in the pond.
However, Lin Jin's reaction time remained unchanged and it was still difficult for him to stay focused. About every ten minutes, he would zone out, and sometimes his thoughts were faster than his hands could follow.
His head was full of clever plays, but his hands were all over the place.
Even so, Lin Jin still comfortably dominated the game. He exhaled happily. It had been a long time since he enjoyed gaming this much.
Before, gaming was either getting wrecked or watching his teammates get wrecked, leading to defeat. Now, even if his teammates were losing, he could still carry them to victory.
Hahaha! It feels like I could become a big shot if I start streaming!
"What's so exciting?" Wen Xuan gave Lin Jin a look as if he was looking at an idiot, clearly unimpressed, "Didn’t you just win a game, so what?"
"I just trashed some kids! It feels great!" Lin Jin continued to eagerly start another game to beat up noobs.
Then, when it was time for the 2 pm class, he realized with a blank face that he hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach was continuously rumbling in complaint.
The next day, Lin Jin wasn't feeling great.
He was drowsily slumped over his desk, dumbfoundedly staring at the teacher lecturing upfront. His eyelids kept drooping, but he would quickly snap up and then frantically hold his eyelids open with both hands.
