I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

When Shen Qingyue returned to the library, she naturally encountered Chen Mu, who was still studying diligently.

Shen Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "So many people are trying to recruit you as an editor. Don't you ever feel like you made the wrong choice in science and should have been a humanities student?"

"No, there are limits to what liberal arts students can do, and I don't want to be bound by those limits," Chen Mu said with a smile.

Chen Mu knew that he was not far from asking to borrow money; the other party already had a great deal of trust and respect for him.

As long as I can borrow the money before the 1st of next month, there won't be any problem. Then I can use my monthly exam results to make the principal happy and give me the money. Then I'll be guaranteed a spot in the next physical education class.

Although this money is all borrowed, I will keep it for eternity!

Become a legendary loan king!

It's not that I don't have ways to make money, it's just that I don't have the time.

Now, someone needs to believe that they are Qin Shi Huang, and that once they succeed, they will reap enormous benefits.

Successful people and swindlers are often just different in their outcomes.

For example, some entrepreneurs, despite having nothing, use deception, empty promises, and other methods to swindle investment. If they succeed, it becomes a celebrated story; if they fail, it's considered a sign of dishonesty.

Shen Qingyue thought about it and realized it made sense; the other party was a genius who ranked first in all three subjects.

"So what major do you want to choose when you go to university?" Shen Qingyue asked curiously.

I was second in the whole school, so logically I should be able to apply to the same school and major as the other person.

"Oh, I want to study biomedical engineering," Chen Mu said.

"Oh, you want to be a doctor?"

"It's different. Biomedicine is about researching medicine, such as inventing new drugs," Chen Mu said.

"Oh, why did you choose this?" Shen Qingyue asked again, puzzled.

"Because I feel you're too stupid, I want to develop a smart drug to save your IQ!" Chen Mu said with a smile after glancing at the other person.

This is another technique: shifting the conversation from boring, serious topics to something that can stir the other person's emotions, making them wonder about your intentions.

Of course, these words made Shen Qingyue grit her teeth in anger: "Hmph, I'm stupid? I'm the second in the whole school. You don't even know where you rank."

Chen Mu complained, "It won't be like that next monthly exam."

"You want to improve by more than fifty points in one go? Dream on!" Shen Qingyue said angrily after being called stupid.

The monthly exam was fast approaching, and for the first time, Chen Mu felt that a month of study time had passed so quickly.

Chen Mu read at least several hundred books in the past month and felt more fulfilled than ever before.

At the same time, it also influenced my roommates; basically no one went to internet cafes all night anymore, but instead they all studied something.

Merit added by one!

With the upcoming monthly exams approaching, the exam room assignments have been released.

The exam room number and exam number of each student in the class will be printed out and posted on the wall.

Chen Mu glanced at it: "First place in the second examination room, which means 600 points is 31st in the whole school."

There were 30 people in one exam room, and the first person in the second exam room was naturally the 31st person in the whole school.

If placed in the class, it would rank fifth, with only 4 people from Class 9 in the first exam room.

Half of them were from Class Zero, a total of 15 people.

It is evident that Class Zero is incredibly strong, having indeed gathered the best resources from the entire county. Of course, there are also many even better students who went directly to schools in the city to exchange their places.

That was the real battleground. The city had 16 high schools, while the county only had one.

The schools that follow are about the same level as, or even lower than, the county high schools, but the first two are quite exceptional.

As Chen Mu was looking at the exam room list, his homeroom teacher, Tong Fei, walked over.

He patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, saying, "If you can get over 630 in this monthly exam, you'll be guaranteed a spot in the top exam room, and even then, you'll be in the middle ranks."

"Teacher, I'd like to ask, if someone scores 600 points, where would they rank at Yunchuan No. 1 High School?" Chen Mu asked.

"Hehe, let alone No. 1 Middle School, even No. 2 Middle School, a score of 600 would place you outside the top 150."

"At No. 1 High School, it should be around 300th in the whole school," Tong Fei said with a smile.

The educational resources, levels, and student populations vary drastically across different regions. Sometimes, Tong Fei would confiscate some novels from students and read them frequently.

I've discovered that reality is just like fantasy novels: a big shot in a small place becomes a nobody on a big map.

"And don't be arrogant or complacent. Even if you score 630, you still won't be in the top 100 at No. 1 High School," Tong Fei added. "Our county's academic level isn't great, but we still have to work hard. The early bird catches the worm."

"I understand, teacher!" Chen Mu nodded, full of confidence for this exam.

If it's just an improvement in intelligence, then the speed of academic progress will definitely not be too fast. Chen Mu believes that an intelligence of six points can only be considered a minor genius at best.

There are certainly many people with similar intelligence, but very few possess both high intelligence and excellent memory.

Complete all high school courses in a month, plus a lot of extracurricular reading, 630 is not my goal.

If you do well on the monthly exams and have the ability to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, then you can use the remaining 60 days to do other things.

Loans, after all, have to be repaid eventually, and you can't say you can get one 100% of the time.

I still have to earn the money myself. Next month's physical training is 40,000, and the month after that it will be 80,000.

Through a month of reading and studying, Chen Mu has already developed some methods and plans for making money. He plans to put them into practice after the monthly exam and another physical training session!

Tong Fei nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "How's your English going? How confident are you about your score this time?"

"It's alright," Chen Mu chuckled.

"Say something in English and let me see how your pronunciation is," Tong Fei said.

"All the money back to my home!" Chen Mu said.

"Huh? Oh, Mommy, Mommy, please?" Tong Fei asked. "Are you chanting scriptures?"

"Teacher, is your hearing that bad? I said all money back my home," Chen Mu said again.

"All the money will go to my house?" Tong Fei asked after a moment's thought.

"Correct translation!" Chen Mu snapped his fingers.

"You brat, where did you learn that weird English?" Tong Fei cursed before returning to his office.

Huang Zhong and Liu Weize, who were walking from the direction the teacher had come from, said as they walked, "Why has Teacher Tong become a Buddhist? She's been chanting 'Om Mami, Mami' the whole way here!"

Chen Mu: "..."

The exam is at the end of the month, and everyone is used to this rhythm of life, so there haven't been many changes.

Since most people's scores won't fluctuate much anymore, at this point, improving by 5 or 10 points is already quite remarkable.

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, the principal was having a meeting.

"I attended a meeting at the city's education bureau a while ago. The director said that we are now in the new era of AI, and traditional methods of applying formulas and rote memorization will become increasingly meaningless."

Therefore, future monthly exams and college entrance exams will place greater emphasis on students' ability to apply knowledge flexibly and their innovative abilities. So, for this monthly exam, you can be bold in setting questions, set difficult questions, and set questions that test flexible thinking abilities. Thank you all for your hard work. Starting this month, the monthly exams will gradually increase in difficulty.” The principal conveyed the spirit of the leadership.

The teachers couldn't help but feel sorry for the students; things were going to get even harder now.

Although times have changed so quickly, the teaching methods haven't changed.

The difficulty of this question has increased. Will the students be able to understand it?

But there's nothing I can do about it; I guess I'll just have to hope for the best.
