Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 2

[You’re running, Qi-Blood +1, body coordination +1, running speed +1, running technique +1]

[You’re jumping, Qi-Blood +1, leg muscle strength +1, jumping height +1, jumping technique +1]

[You’re talking to yourself, mental strength +1, language ability +1, expressive ability +1…]

Before he knew it, half a month had passed.

With the effect of “use it or lose it,” Lin Zichen had mastered basic skills such as running, jumping, and language.

Although he had already mastered several skills, since he was only seven months old, he didn’t dare to show too much in front of his parents.

He was worried that if he appeared too extraordinary, it might bring a lot of unnecessary trouble later on.

Let’s not even talk about the extreme cases of being studied in detail.

At the very least, appearing on variety shows, becoming an internet celebrity, and participating in various competitions would definitely be on the cards.

Lin Zichen just wanted to evolve quietly, he didn’t want to spend too much energy on other things.

Of course, it was still okay to show a bit of genius, just to make his parents happy.

“Zi Chen, let’s go, Mommy will take you to play at Han Han’s house.”

Zhang Wanxin picked up Lin Zichen from the ground and gave him a smiling kiss on his face.

The Han Han that she mentioned was the baby girl living next door.

Saying that she was taking her son to play with the baby girl was actually more for herself, as she wanted to chat with the baby girl’s mom.

The two mothers were of similar age, both liked to dress up, and enjoyed chatting about celebrity gossip.

After visiting each other a few times, they quickly became close friends who talked about everything.

Arriving at the neighbor’s, Zhang Wanxin placed Lin Zichen next to the baby girl and sat on the sofa, laughing and chatting with the baby girl’s mom.

Seeing Lin Zichen, the baby girl’s face broke into a smile, and she reached out to touch him, wanting physical contact.

Lin Zichen wasn’t interested in playing with a baby.

He quickly crawled away.

He crawled around the neighbor’s house to exercise his body.

The baby girl also wanted to follow and crawl, but her limbs were too weak to move, and she could only sit and watch Lin Zichen scuttle about fast as a cockroach.

She seemed to really like Lin Zichen, and whenever she saw him crawling towards her, her eyes would curve into a radiant smile.

“Zi Chen, don’t just crawl on your own, play with Han Han,” Zhang Wanxin said after seeing that his knees had become dirtied with crawling.

Picking him up, she placed him back beside the baby girl.

To give Zhang Wanxin face in front of others, Lin Zichen obediently stayed with the baby girl, acting like an understanding and well-behaved child.

The baby girl’s mom said enviously, “Wanxin, your Zi Chen really listens to you.”

“Not at all, Han Han is also very well-behaved, and she loves to smile. Who knows how many boys she will charm when she grows up,” Zhang Wanxin replied with a compliment in return.

While the two mothers were praising each other’s children, the baby girl suddenly peed.

Not wearing diapers and in split pants, she urinated all over the floor.

Seeing the puddle, the baby girl, looking overjoyed, started slapping it with her hand, splashing water everywhere.

Urinating and slapping.

Slapping and laughing.

She was having the time of her life all by herself.

Lin Zichen couldn’t take it and quickly moved away to avoid being splashed.

The baby girl’s mom said with a headache, “Are you made of water, little girl? You just went not long ago, how can you pee again?”

After saying this, she picked up the baby girl and went to the bathroom to change her pants.

Watching her friend hurry away, Zhang Wanxin thought she had it quite easy as a mother.

Others’ babies seemed so troublesome to take care of.

But her own child, after the first couple of months of wetting pants, had not wet them again in the following months.

Whenever he wanted to urinate, he would make noises to alert the adults to take him.

Most importantly, he didn’t cry at night, which was very reassuring for the parents.

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

By this time, Lin Zichen had grown strong enough to do push-ups and sit-ups, which was extraordinarily unbelievable.

The first time he tried push-ups, it was tough and he did them slowly.

But after a while, he quickly became proficient.

Watching him move like a pile driver, his body violently rising and falling, the baby crib creaked and groaned.

It would make men feel inferior, and women ecstatic.

When he was right in the middle of it,

Zhang Wanxin pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Lin Zichen intensely doing push-ups on the baby crib, she was completely dumbfounded.

For a moment, she thought her eyes were deceiving her.

She instinctively rubbed her eyes.

Taking advantage of the moment Zhang Wanxin was rubbing her eyes, Lin Zichen quickly lay down to feign sleep.

“Weird, did I see that wrong?”

Zhang Wanxin walked to the side of the baby crib and stopped, turning Lin Zichen over to lie on his back and sleep while she muttered to herself in confusion.

…

In the days that followed,

every time his parents left, Lin Zichen would secretly do push-ups and sit-ups to train.

[You are doing push-ups, Qi-Blood +1, arm muscle strength +1, chest muscle strength +1, push-up proficiency +1]

[You are doing sit-ups, Qi-Blood +1, abdominal muscle strength +1, sit-up proficiency +1]

[…]

After training like this for a while,

one day, Zhang Wanxin was bathing Lin Zichen and was shocked to discover that her little baby actually had abs, and she was completely taken aback.

“Husband, something major has happened, come quick!”

“What’s happened!”

Lin Yansheng ran into the bathroom with a look of panic.

Then… he was also stunned.

“What’s this situation?!”

Seeing the faintly visible six-pack on Lin Zichen’s body, Lin Yansheng couldn’t believe it.

How could an eight-month-old baby have abs?

Could it be that crawling around every day built up his abs?

Lin Yansheng couldn’t fathom it.

…

That evening,

the family of three sat down for dinner.

Lin Zichen had already been weaned and could drink some nutritious porridge.

He had a big appetite, consuming bowl after bowl.

This was because of the high-intensity training every day, which caused a huge energy expenditure.

And the unsuspecting parents found it incredible that an infant could eat so much.

After dinner,

the family of three sat on the couch watching TV.

They were watching the news.

There was a report about Exotic Beasts attacking, and the parents watched with worried faces, saying that the incidents of Exotic Beasts attacking were happening more frequently, and the world was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Then they saw a report about a prodigy.

It was said that in the Capital City, a thousand-year-old Martial Arts Family had a naturally gifted genius who, at two years old, could lift a 20kg dumbbell with one hand, astounding the whole country.

Lin Yansheng couldn’t help but sigh as he watched, “Those Martial Arts Families in the Capital City have good genes and resources. Many of their descendants are born prodigies. It’s quite enviable.”

Out of a mother’s bias for her son, Zhang Wanxin disagreed, “My Zichen is also a prodigy. He will certainly not lose to those so-called family geniuses.”

Listening to Zhang Wanxin’s words, Lin Zichen mentally gave her a thumbs-up, thinking that it was indeed his esteemed mother who could recognize true talent.

Afterward, his gaze stayed on the TV screen, watching the prodigy who easily lifted the barbell with one hand, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

To be able to easily lift a 20kg dumbbell with one hand at two years old…

A genius that amazed the whole country…

I wonder if I could also easily lift a 20kg object with one hand when I’m two years old?
