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

"System, are you jealous because I've been making a lot of money lately?" Jiang Chen asked.

system:【……】

"This is exploiting loyal customers! This is fleecing them! This is the ugly face of capitalism!"

The system continues to play dead.

Jiang Chen sighed.

Fine, you're the system, you're awesome.

75 points of amazing value...

"How long would it take to earn that much?"

He suddenly felt an overwhelming longing for the era of explosive internet traffic in his previous life.

Short videos, live streaming, trending topics, social media...

That's the real "amazing value harvester".

With his current looks, intelligence, and abilities, he could easily get millions of likes on Douyin and Kuaishou in minutes by simply starting a live stream to explain a problem or shooting a short video to show off his skills.

The level of amazement must be as overwhelming as rain.

Earning 10,000 points a day is not a dream.

75 points? That'll only take a little over two months.

But now...

2016 years.

Although smartphones are already widespread, 4G networks have not been fully deployed yet. Kuaishou is still in its infancy and barely surviving, while Douyin is nowhere to be seen.

What does information dissemination rely on?

It was mostly spread through newspapers, television, and word of mouth.

It's incredibly slow.

"Alas, I was born at the wrong time."

Jiang Chen felt a little depressed.

However, they quickly adjusted.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

While 75 points of amazing value is a lot, it's not impossible.

If you can win a gold medal in the national finals or international competitions of the four subjects, you'll definitely reap a huge reward.

Another wave of top scorers in the college entrance examination.

Breaking world records in sports competitions, let's do it again.

There's also the New Concept Writing Competition, and other competitions I might participate in later...

I'll save it up slowly.

Anyway, his current IQ of 200 is enough.

High school knowledge? That's far beyond what I've mastered.

University curriculum? You can learn it with just a quick glance.

Competition questions? A piece of cake.

"Let's set a small goal first," Jiang Chen encouraged himself, "before graduation, I'll raise my IQ to 210."

210 points, 10 points more than now.

Requires 10 Amazing Points.

"It doesn't seem... particularly difficult?"

He considered it for a moment:

If you can get full marks and first place in all four national competitions and make it into the national team, earning a few thousand points in each subject shouldn't be difficult.

The total score across the four subjects will definitely exceed 10,000 points.

Winning a gold medal in an international competition can earn you several thousand points per subject.

The total has reached tens of thousands of points.

A top scorer in the college entrance examination gets nationwide attention; earning 70,000 to 80,000 points in one go isn't unreasonable, right?

In addition to breaking sports records, winning essay awards, and showing off at school...

"100,000 points...it seems...there's actually a chance?"

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smile again.

Indeed, people still need to have dreams.

What if it happens?

However, in addition to improving intelligence, physical fitness also needs to be improved, and opening the third level of the system shop will also require 10,000 points of amazing value.

Therefore, 100,000 points of amazing value is just the beginning...

……

Beside him, Li Jianguo finally finished his call and leaned over excitedly:

"Jiang Chen, the principal said he's throwing you a celebration banquet when you get back! You'll be recognized by the whole school!"

"We'll also hang your photo on the school's honor roll for a whole year!"

Jiang Chen: "...No need for that."

"Why not? Absolutely!"

Li Jianguo beamed, "First place with perfect scores in four subject competitions! The only one in the entire province! Rare even nationwide!"

"Now our No. 3 Middle School is truly famous!"

"Professor Hou just sent me a text message, saying that you should visit the lab at Binhai University when you have time, and he'll personally show you around!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yeah, we'll talk about it another time."

What he's more concerned about now is how to continue studying when he gets back and how to prepare for the upcoming competition.

And... how to earn more Amazing Points.

While the 10000:1 ratio is a rip-off, the thrill of boosting your IQ is undeniable.

That feeling of "having the world at my fingertips" was truly addictive.

"By the way, Jiang Chen," Li Jianguo suddenly lowered his voice, "you got full marks in all four subjects in this competition, so I expect the media will be coming to interview you soon."

"The school means that you should cooperate appropriately and promote the school."

"Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too. The principal said that everything is up to your wishes."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment: "Interviews are fine, but not too frequent, I'm short on time."

"Don't worry, it'll only be once or twice. It'll mainly be taking photos and asking a few questions."

Li Jianguo patted his chest and assured him, "It absolutely won't interfere with your studies!"

Jiang Chen nodded and said nothing more.

He closed his eyes again and began to mentally simulate solving a simplified version of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Although the solution cannot be found, the simulation process itself is a form of mental training.

The car sped along the highway.

The scenery outside the window kept receding.

In Jiang Chen's mind, numbers, formulas, graphs, and words flowed like a waterfall.

The world of someone with an IQ of 200 is truly different.

He could even spare some attention to ponder philosophical questions like "Why did the system suddenly increase the exchange rate?"

"Could it be... that they're afraid I'll level up too quickly and become a god directly?"

The thought popped into Jiang Chen's mind, and he found it funny.

Becoming a god?

It's still early.

but……

If one day his IQ really does break through 300 points, or even 500 points.

What would that look like?

Is it possible to deduce the ultimate laws of the universe just by looking at the starry sky?

Or could a formula, written casually, solve a century-old problem for humanity?

"It sounds pretty exciting."

Jiang Chen smiled and pulled himself out of his thoughts.

The road ahead is long, take it slow.

My current goal: to reach an IQ of 210 before graduation.

As for Gauss's 275 points...

"One day, I will surpass you."

He said this silently to himself.

Then, I continued to immerse myself in the ocean of thought.

……

Two hours later.

The school bus returned to Jiangcheng.

As soon as the car stopped in front of Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School, Jiang Chen's eyelids twitched.

Good guy.

This is quite a spectacle.

The area in front of No. 3 Middle School is just like Chinese New Year... no, it's even more lively than Chinese New Year.

The red banners with yellow lettering were hung everywhere, densely packed, as if they were free:

[Warmest congratulations to our student Jiang Chen for achieving a perfect score and ranking first in the Jiangnan Province Physics Competition!]

[Warmest congratulations to our student Jiang Chen for achieving a perfect score and ranking first in the Jiangnan Province Chemistry Competition!]

[Warmest congratulations to our student Jiang Chen for achieving a perfect score and ranking first in the Jiangnan Province Biology Competition!]

[Warmest congratulations to our student Jiang Chen for achieving perfect scores in four subjects—Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology—breaking the record in the history of the Jiangnan Province competitions!]

[Jiang Chen, winner of four provincial competitions, member of the provincial team for four competitions, and the top athlete in the Jiangnan Province competition!]

[A prodigy, Jiang Chen, refuses a professor's offer of admission to Binhai University!]

[King of Competitions, Top Academic Genius...]

Jiang Chen: "..."

He turned to look at Li Jianguo: "Teacher Li, isn't this... a bit of an exaggeration?"

Li Jianguo chuckled: "Exaggerated? Not at all! The principal said that our No. 3 Middle School has finally produced a genius, so we must publicize it extensively!"

"You have no idea what kind of status our school had in Jiangcheng back then... third place!"

"In terms of teachers, we can't compare to No. 1 Middle School; in terms of facilities, we can't compare to No. 2 Middle School; and in terms of college entrance examination pass rate, we can barely rank third."

"Every year during the high school entrance exam, the best students are picked up by No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools, and the ones who get to go with us are the ones that are left over."

"This year is different!"

Li Jianguo stood tall, his face beaming with pride:

"First place with perfect scores in four competitions! Four provincial first prizes! Four provincial teams!"

"Don't even mention Jiangcheng No. 1 or No. 2 Middle Schools, even the four top schools in the provincial capital haven't produced such outstanding students!"

"You're now our school's star student! Your achievements must be displayed prominently! Let the whole of Jiangcheng see that our No. 3 Middle School can also produce geniuses!"

Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead.

All right, as long as you are happy.

But as soon as he got out of the car, the school gate erupted in chaos.
