After sitting in the park for a while.
Then, using this time, he carefully pondered and analyzed the updates to the system panel.
At the same time, he revised his future plans based on the updates to his various abilities.
Plans are merely general directions for the future within a certain period.
They are not set in stone.
If growth proceeds smoothly,
it's fine to skip some plans entirely.
Closing the system's personal panel.
Chen Ran stood up, slung his backpack over his shoulders, and prepared to head home.
In the blink of an eye, he had been away from home for ten days.
The outside world was bustling and grand.
But the longing for home in one's heart, no matter what, could not be surpassed.
Chen Ran was no different.
At home, he had someone to care for.
Returning home.
He opened the door with his key.
Nannan was sitting on the sofa watching television.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Nannan instinctively looked towards the entrance.
A familiar figure immediately came into view.
"Brother?"
Nannan called out in surprise.
She ran quickly towards Chen Ran, throwing herself into his arms.
This time she was wearing slippers.
Her brother's instructions.
She would always keep them in her heart.
"Nannan, did you behave yourself while big brother was away?" He gently stroked the little girl's soft, long hair.
"Yes."
Nannan's eyes narrowed, resembling crescent moons.
"So good." Chen Ran affectionately tapped Nannan's forehead.
He still possessed a bit of the "sister complex" gene.
"Where's Grandma?"
Chen Ran asked again.
"Grandma went out to buy groceries."
Nannan replied.
Chen Ran nodded.
At this time, it was normal for Grandma to go grocery shopping, and she would be back soon to prepare lunch.
"Oh right, Brother, a few people came looking for you a few days ago. They said they were from the Knight Academy in Shenjing."
Nannan sat back on the sofa, suddenly remembering something, and immediately spoke.
This was something related to her brother.
So Nannan remembered it very clearly.
She had been waiting for her brother to return to tell him.
But her brother's sudden return had made her too excited, causing her to forget it at first.
Knight Academy from Shenjing?
Hearing Nannan's words, Chen Ran couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Regarding this.
He had actually guessed the reason.
After the college entrance examination, he had left home for a 'trip'.
And judging by the time.
While the college entrance examination results might not have been officially released yet, some prestigious Knight Academies could obtain internal rankings.
And then they could recruit the best candidates.
Especially the three major academies.
These were places that many college entrance examination candidates dreamed of attending.
At such a time, reputation was very important.
By revealing their "brand name."
Few people would settle for less.
In fact, Chen Ran was no different.
From the very beginning.
His goal had already been set on the three major Knight Academies of Great Xia!
Chen Ran was confident in his examination results.
Five hundred thousand points in the martial arts exam.
If there wasn't any foul play.
He would have been far ahead of everyone...
It was only natural for those Knight Academies to be anxious.
Chen Ran was not in a hurry.
Besides.
He shouldn't be the one to be anxious at this time.
Because he had plenty of options.
He chatted with Nannan for a while longer.
At eleven o'clock in the morning.
Grandma returned.
"Grandma!"
Chen Ran and Nannan, though their time together was short, had a tacit understanding like siblings and called out in unison.
"Xiao Ran is back?"
A gentle smile appeared on Grandma's face.
This child.
He had never traveled far alone. After the college entrance examination, he suddenly wanted to go on a trip, and she had worried for a long time. But then she thought, the child had grown up, was an adult, and a child living in an ivory tower could never become a strong, independent individual.
Especially since Chen Ran had already awakened and become a true Kamen Rider!
Allowing the child to venture out appropriately was the best way to nurture him.
Grandma doted on her grandson.
But she would not let this doting turn into indulgence.
Chen Ran smiled and nodded.
Grandma didn't say much more.
She raised the groceries she had bought and said, "I'll go make lunch first."
"Grandma, I'll help."
Chen Ran had learned a lot from his grandmother since he was young.
His cooking skills were naturally not bad!
He also had good talent.
His skills were no less than those of hotel chefs!
However, as soon as Chen Ran entered the kitchen, he was pushed out by Grandma. "Just rest well now that you're back."
Nannan, who was helping Grandma wash vegetables, blinked her big eyes in confusion.
Chen Ran spread his hands in helplessness.
A wry smile on his face.
Since Grandma didn't want his help, Chen Ran didn't insist. He picked up his schoolbag and went back to his room.
He took out his phone.
It wasn't the one used by Masato Kusaka from the Kabuto world to contact him, but the phone from his own world.
He had brought his phone with him earlier.
However, although this phone had a decent battery capacity, it didn't have a solar charging function, and there were no corresponding power outlets in the Kabuto world...
As a result, it quickly ran out of power.
This made Chen Ran sigh.
The technological development in this world was always a bit skewed.
He was contemplating whether he could bring a power bank next time he went to the Kabuto world...
Perhaps he should also bring a game console.
It could be used for leisure and entertainment.
The entertainment options in the Kabuto world were indeed somewhat scarce.
This kind of thing, occasionally used to relax, would indeed be a good choice.
Just then.
Chen Ran plugged in his phone, which had already been turned on, and a leisurely ringtone sounded...
He looked at the illuminated screen.
It was an unfamiliar number.
...
