Awakening of the Academic Superstar System at Forty Years Old

Chapter 55 Great Ming Dynasty, Did You Take an Aphrodisiac Pill?

After Lu Ming's physique attribute was raised to ten points, he actually only grew one centimeter taller, from 1.84 meters to 1.85 meters.

The changes in other areas are quite significant, especially in the overall body proportions, which have become noticeably more harmonious.

Even the shapes of the skull, hands, and feet have been optimized, making them more aesthetically pleasing and practical.

These past few days have been the first monthly exam at Huarui Middle School after the winter break.

Compared to the final exams of the first semester of senior year, this one was significantly more difficult. Even the students in the advanced class were groaning in despair after taking the math and science exams.

While other students were lamenting their misery, even the student who scored 140 points had to wail a few times.

Ning Xiang, Xu Jiyang, and Ji Leping are different.

Their reaction was as calm as ever, because regardless of the difficulty level, they basically got full marks or close to full marks in math and science.

After the Chinese, Math, English and Science exams are finished.

During evening self-study, Lu Ming checked his scores.

722 points, first in the class and first in the grade in science subjects.

Lu Ming wasn't too surprised by the results; he had already anticipated them after the Chinese exam.

With a high level of vocabulary and writing skills, his life experience and understanding of the world are significant advantages that a normal high school student simply cannot match.

His essays were both ornate and profound, even simple and easy to understand, and his handwriting was extremely neat and beautiful.

Pang Zhonghua's calligraphy, which his generation of students practiced from childhood to adulthood, was ultimately not in vain.

The essay received full marks.

142 points in Chinese language.

I got a perfect score in math, 294 in science, but only 136 in English. There's still room for improvement.

This month's exam was significantly more difficult than the last final exam.

At Huarui Middle School, each student can view their total exam score and their ranking in the class and grade via a learning tablet, but can only see their own information.

Just as Lu Ming was about to switch to the teacher's backend account to check the scores and rankings of all the students in the elite class, Xu Jiyang, Ning Xiang's deskmate, exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, Ning Xiang and I have both been eliminated!"

He and Ning Xiang were both old friends and fierce competitors; over three years, he only managed to eliminate Ning Xiang twice.

This time, both he and Ning Xiang were killed.

The most likely suspect is Teacher Lu.

It's a bit unbelievable.

"Could it be that Ji Shenhan, with his wig, has finally snapped out of his rage?" Everyone was still a little incredulous.

Is Mr. Lu, a 40-year-old repeat student, really that amazing?

"It wasn't me. I should have eliminated Xu Jiyang and returned to third place!" Ji Leping felt quite at ease.

Although I lost to Teacher Lu, my hard work during the winter break was indeed worthwhile; at least I beat Xu Jiyang, who was always second best.

"My father-in-law is treating! My father-in-law is treating!"

Several particularly boisterous boys started banging on the table.

"Those who call me 'teacher' will get a feast, but those who call me 'father-in-law' can all get out of here! What are you dreaming about!"

Lu Ming seemed to be pretending to be angry, but he was actually really unhappy. However, there were many people around, so he couldn't say anything.

These children all have some issues with their sense of boundaries.

Adults know their limits. Whether it's confessing feelings, seducing, joking, or making a joke, once or twice is enough.

Click till.

When the two female chairpersons and several mature mothers were flirting with Lu Ming, they would only try once or twice, and then stop if there was no feedback.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school students don't understand these things. They can repeat a pretty bad joke more than ten times and still find it funny.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Ming felt he needed to stand up and make things clear.

Because he was not happy.

In fact, his biggest worry was his daughter's marriage; if she married the wrong person, half of her life would be ruined.

At this time.

The system suddenly responded and an interface popped up automatically.

Learning makes you happy!

"Unlock the hidden main quest, participate in the provincial mathematics exam, and win first prize to gain some points to your memory attribute!"

Oh?

This is a pleasant surprise!

By the end of February, it would definitely be too late to participate in the high school Olympiad competitions; those were things from the previous school year.

However, at the provincial level, there are other competitions in the first and second halves of each year, and some of these competitions even allow students and enthusiasts to participate.

The students in the class were still discussing how Lu Ming killed Ning Xiang and Xu Jiyang.

Everyone was shocked.

Ning Xiang is a first-prize winner in the National Mathematics Competition, ranking over 100th in the country. He almost made it into the top 60 national training team and almost represented the country in the IMO.

What an incredible academic genius!

They actually got killed!

Could it be that Teacher Lu is truly a genius whose talent was wasted on early romance?

Right now, Lu Ming is using his phone to search for provincial-level math competitions and has finally chosen the Yangtze River Cup Mathematics Challenge.

This competition is organized by Jiangnan University, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, and Jiangnan University of Technology. High school students, college students, and other members of the public in the province can participate.

Registration is required before March, the preliminary rounds are in April, and the main competition is in May.

This competition is also included in the selection of the province's key foundation and outstanding talents, but its priority is lower than that of the provincial Olympiad, and it will test advanced mathematics knowledge at the university level.

Lu Ming felt that the Yangtze River Cup competition was very suitable for him. While he was registering online, the mothers' group suddenly became noisy.

The number of unreceived messages has increased dramatically.

Lu Ming opened the chat group and saw that, as expected, Miao Yuyan had already informed the two female chairpersons of his latest achievements.

"Da Ming is really amazing! With this score and a little more effort, he could very well become the top scholar in the province!"

As the vice principal of a prestigious private high school, Miao Yuyan was honest and found this result absolutely incomprehensible.

That's incredible.

However, the group was full of Mr. Lu's fans and admirers, so she dared not suspect her old classmate Lu Ming of cheating, and besides, there was no need for him to cheat!

As a female chairperson with assets worth tens of billions, Han Huilan rarely spoke in the group chat, but she couldn't help but ask, "Daming, have you taken some kind of aphrodisiac? I feel like you're getting stronger and stronger."

"An aphrodisiac?"

Lu Ming was quite surprised and didn't understand why Han Huilan would use such a word.

That's really scary!

"Mr. Han just feels that your physical condition is getting better and better," Xue Meiting hurriedly explained.

"Oh?"

Lu Ming was a little suspicious.

He suspected that Chairman Han had discovered his secret.

At this moment, Pan Li hurriedly asked in the group chat, "Da Ming, you must have found a great study method to improve your score so quickly, right? You should teach the kids that method!"

No matter how important a man is, he is not as important as one's own son!

Within the mothers' group, Lu Ming had little to hide, and replied, "Right now, I'm frantically browsing through past years' college entrance exam mock papers. I look at three or four, then do one, and it feels incredibly effective. But I don't know how effective it is for others."

Miao Yuyan, the vice principal in charge of academic affairs and a true expert, replied in the group chat: "Some students like to do this, but they are mostly top students in humanities classes with exceptionally good memories. But no matter what, a bad pen is worse than a good memory!"

To maintain a high score level in the long term, you still need to practice a lot of questions.

"That should be it!"

Lu Ming did not refute Miao Yuyan because he also realized that his own test preparation method had drawbacks and was clearly more suitable for short-term intensive study.

It's just that because he has a particularly good memory, the effect seems better, and he can remember things for a longer time.

Of course, these are all secondary.

Lu Ming suspected that Chairman Han was spying on his body, otherwise how would he know that he had become more muscular recently?

Is it just that he feels guilty for doing something wrong?
