Chapter 7: Skill: Senior High School Knowledge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Today’s evening self-study subject was mathematics. The first lesson was supposed to end in 50 minutes, but it dragged on to 60 minutes.
In the past, because of his weak foundation, Li Chengqian didn’t understand anything at all in class.
Although Li Chengqian tried his best to learn this lesson, his foundation in senior high mathematics was too weak, so he couldn’t understand at all.
But for the sake of the experience value points, Li Chengqian could only listen attentively.
Throughout the entire class, Li Chengqian appeared especially irritable. He didn’t understand but had to make himself listen. The more he listened, the sleepier he became.
The constant sleepiness almost made him doze off.
Jian Qingli also saw Li Chengqian behavior. On the surface, she didn’t express anything, but in her heart, she was laughing. “Li Chengqian, your foundation is too weak. Even if you force yourself now, you won’t be able to learn.”
“Unfortunately, Li Chengqian came to his senses too late. If he had studied harder in his second year of high school, he might have been able to get into university this time.”
“Furthermore, even if Li Chengqian came to his senses now, whether or not he can persevere is another matter.”
“Li Chengqian, we are ultimately not the same type of person.” Jian Qingli shook her head, feeling even more sure that she had made the right choice
She and Bi Jialiang would definitely be able to pass this year’s university entrance examination and get into a top university.
In fact, because Bi Jialiang had brought her to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, she stood some chance of gaining direct admission to Divine Dragon University.
As for Li Chengqian, he definitely wouldn’t be able to get in this year. Even if he were to repeat a year, he still might not be able to pass.
Even if he did, he would only be admitted to an ordinary university. It was at least a level lower than the school she went to.
The teacher walked out of the classroom after the class ended, Li Chengqian let out a long sigh and finally felt a little more relaxed.
Then, a translucent notification flashed before his eyes.
[You have listened to the class for 60 minutes. You have received 600 Experience Bars. You have 653 Experience Bars remaining.]
When Li Chengqian saw the number 653, he couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile. This was because 653 experience value points was sufficient for him to upgrade the level of his Student profession from level 5 to level 7.
Based on his experience playing the Master of All Professions game in his previous life, when a Student profession reached level 7, one could obtain the fourth profession skill, Senior High School Knowledge!
“As long as I raise the proficiency of my Senior High School knowledge to Master level, I can score full marks in the university entrance examination.” Li Chengqian was super excited.
This was because his fate had really changed.
“Open my personal interface!” He chanted excitedly in his heart.
Name: Li Chengqian
Intelligence: 15 (Average adult is 10 points)
Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points)
Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points)
Profession: Student level 5 (0/80)
Skill:
1. Focus (Master)
2. Elementary School Knowledge (Master)
3. Middle School Knowledge (Master)
Experience Pool: 643
“Upgrade!” Without hesitation, Li Chengqian used his thoughts to press the upgrade button behind the level.
[80 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 6 (0/130), 573 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
[Your Intelligence Stats +1, current Intelligence: 16 points]
Li Chengqian didn’t stop. He pressed the upgrade button again.
[130 experience value points consumed, Student profession upgraded to level 7 (0/210). 443 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool]
[Your Intelligence Stats +1, current Intelligence: 17 points.]
[You have obtained Skill: Senior High School Knowledge (Novice 3/7).]
[Senior High School Knowledge: Contains all the knowledge in all Senior High School courses.]
The moment the Senior High School Knowledge skill appeared, the names of all the subjects in Senior High School and the general contents that he had to learn in Senior High School appeared in Li Chengqian’s memory.
As for the more specific contents, other than the year three textbooks that he had already memorized, he couldn’t remember anything else.
Li Chengqian felt that if he didn’t memorize the year three textbooks, the proficiency of his Senior High School Knowledge skill would either be 0 or 1!
“Upgrade!”
[4 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill upgraded to (Competent 0/70). 439 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
[70 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill upgraded to (Proficient 0/140). 369 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
[140 experience value points consumed, Senior High School Knowledge skill upgraded to (Expert 0/350). 229 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
“Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to upgrade my Senior High School Knowledge skill to Master level.” Li Chengqian looked at the remaining experience value points. He had no choice but to stop.
At this moment, a huge amount of information began to fuse into his memory.
Senior High School Knowledge skill contained too much knowledge. It was at least 50 times more than Junior High School Knowledge skill.
In an instant, the fusion of such a huge amount of knowledge created a huge pressure on Li Chengqian’s brain.
Under the huge torrent of information, his body’s instinctive emergency response was activated.
Li Chengqian fainted.
The way Li Chengqian was prone on the table, it was no different from sleeping.
One minute… five minutes…
Mathematics teacher Tian Wenming walked up to the podium again. His eyes swept across the classroom and found Li Chengqian sleeping on the table.
His brow furrowed slightly, then they relaxed again.
“Forget it. Li Chengqian’s grades are very bad. He can’t get in anyway.”
“As long as he doesn’t affect the other students, I can’t be bothered with him.” Tian Wenming had tried to save Li Chengqian before.
But he failed.
He had lost all hope in Li Chengqian’s learning ability.
Now, as long as Li Chengqian didn’t affect his class or the other students’ studies, he couldn’t be bothered.
He was hopeless anyway.
Saying too much would affect his mood.
Jian Qingli looked at Li Chengqian prone on the table sleeping. She shook her head in extreme disappointment. “I naively thought that Li Chengqian had really changed his ways, and had really wanted to study hard and get into university.”
“I didn’t expect him to give up and reveal his true colors after only persevering for just one class.”
“If your grades are not good because you’re not smart enough, that’s fine.”
“But to not work hard despite knowing that your grades are bad.” Jian Qingli shook her head.
“Think a lot and do a little. People like that only daydream. They’ll never succeed.”
“Li Chengqian is precisely such a person. He’s only dreaming if he wants to get into a university.”
She recalled that Li Chengqian had previously told her that he was also going to participate in the Youth Informatics Programming Competition.
Previously, she was still wondering if Li Chengqian really had some programming knowledge.
Now, seeing Li Chengqian sleeping soundly, she felt that she was really imagining things.
She had also read books on programming. They were obscure and difficult to understand, and much harder than the textbooks.
Li Chengqian had just listened to one math lecture, but because he didn’t understand, he gave up on studying and began to sleep.
If he had read a more difficult book on programming, he might just have fallen asleep at the very first page.
Besides Jian Qingli, Liu Daqiang was also paying attention to Li Chengqian.
During the first period, Liu Daqiang noticed that Li Chengqian was listening hard, and he was still a little nervous.
Seeing that Li Chengqian couldn’t last beyond the second period and had fallen asleep, Liu Daqiang had a disdainful smirk in his eyes.
“Trash will always be trash.”
“He even shamelessly asked us to watch his exam results, it turned out that it was all talk and no action.”
Time passed quickly. It was only three minutes before the evening self-study ended.
Expert level Senior High School Knowledge had already been completely integrated into Li Chengqian’s memory.
When Li Chengqian woke up, his head was heavy and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Li Chengqian already knew why he had fainted.
It was because he had absorbed too much knowledge at one go.
“In the future, when upgrading my skill proficiency, I have to adapt to one level before raising it to the next level.”
