A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

……

One minute before the morning self-study bell rings.

Jiang Chen walked into the classroom of Class 4, Grade 12, right on time.

The moment he stepped through the door, the previously noisy classroom fell silent for a second.

Immediately afterwards, countless gazes shot over.

"That's... Jiang Chen?"

"Where's his hair? Did he shave it?"

"How come your skin is so white? It's practically glowing!"

"Wait, has he... lost weight? And grown taller?"

"It seems so! He used to have to squeeze through the classroom door sideways, how come he's doing it so smoothly today?"

"And...why do I find him much more pleasing to the eye? He has a kind of...benevolent look?"

"Like Maitreya Buddha!"

"You know what, a bald head paired with fair skin is actually kind of handsome?"

A murmur rippled through the classroom.

Jiang Chen remained calm, facing the gazes of the crowd, and walked with composed steps to his seat.

He felt like a star walking the red carpet, even though his physique was somewhat like that of a sumo wrestler.

[Ding! You've received 8 points of amazement!]

[Ding! You've received 12 points of amazement!]

[Ding! You've received 10 points of amazement!]

The system notification sounded cheerfully in my head.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, keep the surprise going, don't stop, you'd better lift the ceiling off!"

He had just sat down.

Tang Ruoxi, who sat at the table in front of her, suddenly turned around.

She stared wide-eyed at Jiang Chen's bald head for three seconds, then... reached out a slender white hand and gently touched the top of Jiang Chen's head.

"Old Chen...you actually shaved your head?"

His voice was full of disbelief.

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Tang Ruoxi reached out with both hands and pinched his cheeks.

"Your skin looks so good after you shaved your head! It's like a peeled egg!"

She leaned closer to look, her breath gently brushing against Jiang Chen's face: "Where are your pores? Where are your acne scars? Where are your blackheads? How come they're all gone?"

Jiang Chen felt a little ticklish from her movements and laughed, backing away slightly. "Great Tang, be mindful of your behavior. Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

"Tell me quickly! What happened?"

Tang Ruoxi persisted, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"What else could it be?"

Jiang Chen shrugged. "Training, of course!"

"Can exercise really make your skin this good?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Chen spouted nonsense with a straight face, "Sweat detoxifies and promotes metabolism, so your skin will naturally improve!"

"And look, not only has my skin improved, but I've also grown taller and lost weight."

He stood up and gestured in front of Tang Ruoxi, "How is it? Aren't you much more handsome than before?"

Tang Ruoxi stared at him for a while, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she muttered to herself.

"Yes...it looks much better than before."

Hao Yingjun chimed in from the side.

"More than just pleasing to the eye! With Chen Ge's current look, he could easily pass for a revered monk!"

"Go to hell!" Jiang Chen laughed and cursed.

But Tang Ruoxi seemed thoughtful: "Old Chen, do you think training is really that effective?"

"Absolutely true!"

Jiang Chen patted his chest confidently, "Exercise can help you lose weight, grow taller, improve your skin, and change everything!"

His voice was quite loud, and several classmates around him heard it.

A boy with a face full of acne couldn't help but ask.

"Jiang Pang...cough cough, Jiang Chen, how exactly do you train every day? Are you really that amazing?"

"Run ten kilometers every day, do two hundred push-ups, and three hundred squats!" Jiang Chen said casually, "Keep it up for a week, and you'll see immediate results!"

"..."

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

A few seconds later.

The guy with acne-covered face chuckled dryly, "Well... I suddenly think I'm actually pretty good like this!"

Another girl whispered, "Ten kilometers every day... I struggle to run 800 meters in PE class..."

"Two hundred push-ups? I can't even do twenty..."

"300 squats? My legs are still sore from climbing five flights of stairs yesterday..."

The few people who were just eager to try immediately fell silent.

Tang Ruoxi stuck out her tongue: "Old Chen, the amount of training you do... is something most people can't keep up with!"

Hao Yingjun nodded vigorously: "Exactly! Brother Chen, you're exceptionally gifted, we're just ordinary mortals, we can't compare!"

Jiang Chen laughed: "So, the path to becoming a taller, thinner, fairer-skinned, and more handsome male god is destined to be lonely!"

He said that, but he was secretly overjoyed.

It's better if no one follows me!

What if everyone tries to achieve the same results as him?

He gets system rewards, but others don't.

Don't let him fail to improve and then resent you, or you'll be in trouble if you don't give him any more impressive skills!

Let him make a comeback on his own!

[Ding! You've received 15 points of amazement!]

Look, this is the huge impact of the gap between us—that we can do it ourselves but others can't.

"Ring ring!"

The bell for morning self-study rang at the right time.

Class teacher Pan Zhenhua walked into the classroom with his lesson plan in hand, his eyes habitually scanning the entire room.

He was visibly taken aback when he saw Jiang Chen's bald head.

But he didn't say anything, just frowned and began to lead the class in reading the text aloud.

With nothing to do, Jiang Chen lay on the table, preparing to catch up on sleep.

But Tang Ruoxi secretly handed her a small note.

Jiang Chen unfolded it and saw a line of delicate handwriting:

"A bald head suits you well, but... next time don't shave it so bald, leave some stubble, it feels better to handle!"

Jiang Chen: "..."

He looked up and saw that Tang Ruoxi's ears were slightly red.

A ripple suddenly welled up in my heart.

This little green plum... she's quite the flirt?

He picked up his pen and wrote on the back of the note:

"Yes, ma'am. Next time, leave three millimeters, just for you to touch!"

The note was passed back.

Three seconds later, a soft "Pah!" came from the table in front.

But Tang Ruoxi's ears turned even redder.

Jiang Chen smiled and lay back on the table, closed his eyes, and while catching up on sleep, he thought about his future life plans.

"It's been a week since I was reborn, it's time to plan my life goals!"

"My short-term goal is clear: complete the system's routine tasks, grow taller, lose weight, and become more handsome!"

"A 10-kilometer run, 300 push-ups, and 500 squats every day... it sounds daunting, but with a base of 30 points of physical fitness, it can basically be done in an hour in the morning!"

"And as long as your 'amazement' level is high enough, you can continue to improve your physique. This mission is practically a free reward!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"But is simply becoming handsome enough?"

"No, a man not only needs to be handsome, but also rich!"

The word "money" was mentioned.

Scenes from his past life flashed through Jiang Chen's mind in an instant.

He had good facial features to begin with, and after losing weight in his previous life, he was actually quite handsome.

The reason Su Qingyao didn't choose him but instead fell into the arms of the greasy, middle-aged fat man who drove a Maybach with one hand was because he was rich, while she wasn't.

and so……

"In this life, I must make money!"

"I don't need to be the world's richest person, I should at least be a billionaire, financially independent, able to buy whatever I want, and pursue whomever I want... oh wait, I mean, be pursued by whomever I want!"

But then I thought, I'm still in my final year of high school, so making money isn't urgent.

"There are only 100 days left until the college entrance examination..."

"Not having gone to university in my past life has always been a regret for my parents, and also a regret for me!"

"Now that I've been reborn, I'd be doing a disservice to this blessing from heaven if I didn't get into a good university!"

"So, while making money is the long-term goal, the current goals, besides becoming more handsome, also include improving academic performance!"

But here is the problem.

His grades in high school were already poor; he consistently ranked second to last in his class in every exam.

Having been reborn, he has completely forgotten all his high school knowledge. If he were to take an exam now, he would probably only be able to guess on the multiple-choice questions.

"Improving grades in a short time...that's difficult!"

"Does this mean I have to hang myself from the rafters and prick my thigh with an awl, frantically doing practice problems for three months?"

"But I can't even remember the formulas..."

Just as I was having a headache, a "ding" sound suddenly went off in my head.

[Ding! The system has detected that the host wants to learn, and it strongly supports this!]

Jiang Chen's spirits lifted: "System, do you have a solution?"

[Ding! Host, if you want to become the most perfect male god in the entire universe, not only must your appearance be perfect, but you must also be omniscient and omnipotent, proficient in everything. And in high school, the most important thing is to study hard and get good grades, otherwise how can you be a male god? How can you amaze others?]

"so?"

[Ding! Current main quest issued: Host, please achieve a perfect score of 750 in the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) three months from now, becoming the top scorer in the country and astonishing everyone!]

Jiang Chen: "???"

He almost jumped out of his seat.

"Wait, wait... how many points?"

"750 points out of 100?"

"To become the top scorer in the national college entrance examination?"

[Ding! Yes, mission complete. The system will reward the host with one billion yuan as seed money to help the host become the world's richest person after graduating high school!]

"One billion?"

Jiang Chen's heart pounded wildly.

But next second.

[Ding! If the mission is not completed, the host's weight will permanently increase by 100 pounds!]

Jiang Chen: "..."

He felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision.

"Tongzi, are you serious?"

"I'm currently at the bottom of my class, and you expect me to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam in three months?"

"Is this even a human being capable of?"

"Also, I do want to make money, but when did I ever say I wanted to become the world's richest person?"

[Ding! The system has detected that the host is questioning it. The system says: Open your mind!]

Jiang Chen: "..."

He wanted to curse, but he held back.

Take a deep breath, and then another deep breath.

"Chief, let's discuss this. Could we... lower the difficulty of the mission a bit?"

"For example, getting a score of 600? Or 650?"

"Getting a perfect score can really kill you..."

[Ding! Due to the high difficulty of this main quest, the host is hereby granted the skill: Super Memory, Photographic Recall!]

The voice just fell.

A cool sensation rushed into my brain.

Jiang Chen felt that the world before him suddenly became much clearer.

The classical Chinese text that Pan Zhenhua was leading the class on the podium, he only listened to once, and those difficult sentences seemed to be engraved in his mind.

"The ephemeral mushroom knows not the dawn and dusk, the cicada knows not the spring and autumn..."

"In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun..."

He could even clearly recall the layout and the position of the illustrations on every page of the textbook.

"This...this is super memory, the ability to remember everything you see?"

Jiang Chen tried to recall some miscellaneous books he had read in his previous life.

I remember the opening lines of Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

Jay Chou's lyrics... I remember them!

I even remember the ingredient list on the packaging of a snack I ate as a child!

"Holy crap... this skill is insane!"

He was so excited that his hands were shaking.

With this ability, learning three years of high school knowledge in three months and scoring a perfect 750 on the college entrance exam to become the top scorer in the country seems... not impossible.

No, it's very likely!

[Ding! Host, please take the main quest seriously. A starting fund of one billion is calling your name!]

Jiang Chen swallowed.

A billion...

Before his rebirth, he worked himself to the bone for ten years, but his savings never exceeded six figures.

Is it possible to get a billion yuan just by getting a perfect score on the college entrance exam?

"Damn it, let's do it!"
