Evolving infinitely from ground zero

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

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

[You were talking to yourself, Spirit +1, language ability +1, expression ability +1...]

Half a month had passed before he knew it.

Under the "Use It or Lose It" effect, Lin Zichen had mastered basic skills such as running, jumping, and speaking.

Although he had already mastered many skills, at only 7 months old, he dared not show off too much in front of his parents.

He worried that appearing too extraordinary could potentially bring about a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Let's not even discuss extreme scenarios like being studied.

At the very least, appearing on variety shows, becoming an internet celebrity, and participating in all sorts of competitions were definitely on the cards.

Lin Zichen just wanted to evolve quietly and didn't want to spend too much energy on other things.

Of course, showing off as a genius a little to make his parents happy was still okay.

"Chenchen, come, mom will take you to play at Han Han's sister's house."

Zhang Wanxin picked up Lin Zichen from the ground, her face beaming with a smile as she kissed him on the cheek.

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

It was said that she was taking her son to play with the baby girl, but it was more about her wanting to chat with the baby girl's mother.

The two mommies were of similar age, both liked dressing up, and talked about celebrity gossip.

After visiting each other a few times, they quickly became confidantes who could talk about anything.

Arriving at the neighbor's house, Zhang Wanxin placed Lin Zichen next to the baby girl, then sat on the couch laughing and talking with the baby's mother.

When the baby girl saw Lin Zichen, her face lit up with a smile, and she reached out to touch him, wanting to make physical contact.

Lin Zichen had no interest in playing with a baby.

He quickly crawled away.

He moved around the neighbor's house to exercise his body.

The baby girl also wanted to follow and crawl, but she didn't have enough strength, so she just sat there watching Lin Zichen scurry around like a cockroach.

She seemed to really like Lin Zichen, and every time she saw him crawling in her direction, her eyes would curve into a radiant smile.

"Chenchen, don't just focus on crawling yourself, play with Han Han sister."

Seeing Lin Zichen's knees get dirty from crawling, Zhang Wanxin came forward, picked him up, and put him back next to the baby girl.

To give Zhang Wanxin some face in front of others, Lin Zichen obediently played with the baby girl, acting like a sensible and obedient boy.

The baby girl's mother said enviously, "Wanxin, your Chenchen really listens to you."

"Oh, Han Han is very well-behaved too, and she's so smiley! I wonder how many little boys she'll charm when she grows up," Zhang Wanxin returned the compliment.

While the two mommies were complimenting each other, the baby girl suddenly peed.

She wasn't wearing a diaper but open-crotch pants, and the urine spilled all over the floor.

Seeing the puddle on the floor, the baby girl immediately started clapping her hands in joy, splashing water everywhere.

She was peeing and clapping.

Clapping and laughing.

Having a blast playing by herself.

Lin Zichen couldn't stand it anymore and quickly moved away to avoid getting splashed with urine.

The baby girl's mother said with a bit of a headache, "Are you made of water, little one? You just peed, how come you're peeing again?"

After saying that, she picked up the baby girl and took her into the bathroom to change her pants.

Watching her friend hurry away, Zhang Wanxin felt her role as a mother was really quite breezy.

Caring for other people's babies seemed so troublesome.

Her own baby, apart from the first couple of months when he would wet his pants, hadn't peed his pants in the several months that followed.

Whenever he wanted to pee, he would grunt to notify the adults to take him to pee.

Most importantly, he didn't cry at night, greatly easing his parents' minds.

...

Time flew by.

Another month had passed in the blink of an eye.

By this time, Lin Zichen's body had become robust enough to do push-ups and sit-ups, which was nothing short of miraculous.

The first time he tried doing push-ups, he found it very challenging and did them very slowly.

But after a while, he quickly became proficient.

Watching him move up and down like a pile driver made the baby's crib creak and groan.

It made men feel inferior and women ecstatic.

Just when he was getting into it.

Zhang Wanxin pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Lin Zichen doing push-ups vigorously on the crib, her entire world stopped.

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

Instinctively, she started rubbing her eyes.

While Zhang Wanxin was rubbing her eyes, Lin Zichen quickly lay down and pretended to sleep.

"That's strange, did I see that wrong?"

Zhang Wanxin walked up to the side of the crib, turned Lin Zichen over so he was lying down, and muttered to herself somewhat doubtfully.

...

In the days that followed.

Whenever 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 for a while.

One day, while giving Lin Zichen a bath, Zhang Wanxin was shocked to discover that her little baby had developed abs, and she was completely stunned.

"Husband, something big has happened; come here quickly!"

"What happened?"

Lin Yansheng ran into the bathroom, his face filled with anxiety.

Then… he was stunned too.

"What, what's going on?!"

Looking at the barely visible six-pack on Lin Zichen's body, Lin Yansheng was in disbelief.

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

Could it be from crawling around every day, building up his abs?

Lin Yansheng was baffled.

...

That evening.

The family of three sat down for dinner.

Lin Zichen had weaned and was now able to drink some nourishing porridge.

He had a huge appetite, drinking one bowl after another.

It was because he exercised vigorously every day and burned a lot of energy.

His unknowing parents found it incredible that an infant could eat so much.

After dinner.

The family of three sat on the couch watching TV.

The news was on.

There was a report about an attack by Exotic Beasts. The parents watched with worried faces, commenting on how the frequency of these attacks was making the world increasingly dangerous.

Then they saw another report about a child prodigy.

It claimed that in the Capital City, a millennium-old Martial Arts Family had given birth to a naturally gifted child, who at just two years old could lift a 20kg dumbbell with one hand, stunning the entire country.

Lin Yansheng sighed and said, "Those Martial Arts Families in the Capital City have good genes and resources. Their descendants are born prodigies, truly enviable."

Out of a mother's bias for her son, Zhang Wanxin retorted with a face full of disdain, "My Chen Chen is also a prodigy. He will definitely not lose to those so-called family prodigies in the future."

Hearing Zhang Wanxin's words, Lin Zichen silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that his mother indeed had a discerning eye.

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

A two-year-old lifting a 20kg dumbbell with ease…

A national sensation prodigy…

I wonder if by the time I'm two, I could also easily lift heavy objects like that?
