I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

Shen Qingyue, who also knew her results, rested her chin on her hands, lost in distress.

Why didn't I listen to my dad and just go for it? That would have shown me to have good judgment and act decisively.

If we were to pursue him now, it would seem like we're just going through the motions. His power is real, and there are countless competitors now. People know he's powerful, but they would never have imagined he could be this powerful!

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Shen Qingyue arrived at the library and saw Chen Mu studying diligently as usual.

He looked so serious, and for some reason, he seemed even more handsome.

Am I really some kind of intellectual homosexual? It feels like the other person's looks have improved after getting this score.

"Mu Shen, you've already gotten first place in the whole school, and you're still studying?" Shen Qingyue teased.

"Yes, this time it was really difficult. I didn't get a single perfect score. I still have to work hard," Chen Mu said modestly.

"..." Shen Qingyue was speechless for a moment. Was this even human language?

Their teachers said that even Chen Mu could be the provincial champion on such a difficult question, and that's not enough.

"What level do you want to reach? At your current level, you could very well be this year's top scorer," Shen Qingyue said.

"Actually, this score isn't as impressive as you think. It's mainly because I have a good memory and memorized all the knowledge points and formulas. When I encounter real problems, I still can't solve them," Chen Mu said.

"You're being modest. For a high school student to do this, you're already unbeatable, right? Zhang Weiji said he suspects you've been possessed, he's never seen such a genius," Shen Qingyue said.

"I'm not being modest, I'm actually quite stupid. For example, do you know Euler?" Chen Mu asked.

"Of course I know him, the very famous mathematician." Shen Qingyue nodded.

"Euler's story is that he taught himself algebra at the age of 10, entered university at the age of 13, graduated from university at the age of 15, started graduate school at the age of 16, and completed his doctoral dissertation at the age of 19. I will not go into the many achievements in between, but only talk about his later years. In his later years, Euler went blind and could not see at all. His works were burned in a fire, and then he dictated them to his assistants."

He restored his own works and achieved a great deal of new results. Half of his papers were written by mental calculation while he was blind. After losing his sight, he wrote a paper every 7 days.

"Then, if I'm considered a genius, what is Euler?" Chen Mu asked.

Shen Qingyue was a little dumbfounded. At most, she had only heard stories of Terence Tao winning the IMO gold medal at the age of 13 and Gauss quickly calculating the sum of one to one hundred when he was a child.

This is the first time I've ever heard of a blind mathematician who is still incredibly productive. Is this the real genius in human history? It's terrifying.

"But do you really want to compare yourself to a super mathematician like Euler?" Shen Qingyue asked.

"I can't compare to him for now, but I admit that I've reached the threshold of genius. However, there are differences between geniuses. Legend has it that Gauss solved the problem of how to draw a regular heptadecagon in one night. So, without knowing how he drew it, I tried to do it myself. I spent a whole night and still couldn't do it." Chen Mu shrugged, which was also a way of indirectly testing his intelligence level.

With an intelligence of six points, I am indeed no match for geniuses who are famous throughout human history. Fortunately, I still have time and opportunities. The more I learn about the prowess of these people, the more motivated and excited I become.

However, Chen Mu also discovered a bug in his intelligence attribute: he learned all subjects the same way. Real-world geniuses are often one-dimensional. For example, a math genius can find the answer with a simple stare, but not in other subjects.

The reason I was able to score 700 points so quickly is largely because my talent level in each subject is about the same, which is why I have such a well-rounded performance. However, compared with some peerless geniuses with a single spiritual root, there is still a big gap. But it is suitable for the college entrance examination!

"My God." Shen Qingyue swallowed hard. The other party actually wanted to try to replicate Gauss, but it's normal that he didn't succeed. Otherwise, his future achievements would be unimaginable.

"However, after this monthly exam, I feel much more at ease. The pressure of the college entrance exam is not so great anymore, so I'm spending more time on other things," Chen Mu said.

"What is it?" Shen Qingyue asked curiously.

"A video website held an AI video creation competition, and the winner would receive a prize of 100 million yuan," Chen Mu said.

"Wow, is that amazing? Do you want to participate?" Shen Qingyue asked.

"Yes, but I still encounter many problems. First, I live in a dormitory and don't have a computer. Second, the best AI technology currently available is paid software. I estimate that according to my design and script, the cost would be tens of thousands of yuan to run." Chen Mu looked troubled.

"How much money do you need?" Shen Qingyue immediately became interested. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity? She had been worried about not finding a way to get closer to Chen Mu.

"I can do as much as I want, but if I want to do it well, the more the better," Chen Mu said, while thinking to himself that the rich girl had indeed taken the bait, but he wondered how much money she could borrow.

This is indeed the start-up capital. Chen Mu can't keep relying on borrowing money from others to train his body. If he can win the prize money from this creative competition, he can solve his funding needs for a long time to come.

"Computers are easy. You can use my laptop. As for the money, I have a lot of my saved-up New Year's money. I don't know if it'll be enough. I'll pay for it, and you do the work. How about that?"

"Sure, how many do you have?"

Shen Qingyue held up the number eight.

"Eight thousand?" Chen Mu was taken aback.

"Not that many." Shen Qingyue shook her head.

"That's eight hundred then."

"Not that many."

"Huh?" Chen Mu was a little disappointed. Not even 800? Is this what you call a rich woman?

"That's eighty." Chen Mu was surprised. How come he felt that he had received more New Year's money than this legendary little rich girl? Could the rumors be false?

"Yes, eighty should be enough, right? After all, the total prize money is only 100. If you spend it all, you still need to win the prize to earn 20," Shen Qingyue said.

"Uh, you mean eighty, no pieces?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, already realizing something was wrong. "Then ten thousand? Eight hundred... ten thousand?"

Shen Qingyue nodded seriously.

"I mistakenly entered the Heavenly Palace, and was advised to put down the sand in my hand. I opened my mouth to sing, but my voice was hoarse. My face was covered with powder, and I could only make a fake sound!" The background music had already begun to play in Chen Mu's mind.

This is truly an accidental intrusion into the imperial family's home. Whose good family gave out 800,000 yuan in New Year's money?

"Don't reveal that you have so much money outside, it will easily attract bad people," Chen Mu warned.

Shen Qingyue felt a warmth in her heart and nodded repeatedly.

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" Chen Mu asked.

"Don't be afraid. How hard could it be for someone as talented as you to earn 80? My dad isn't nearly as talented as you, but he still managed to earn it," Shen Qingyue said earnestly.

"What a filial daughter!" Chen Mu thought to himself. Who says being able to make money isn't a talent? Who says money isn't a skill?

Chen Mu was silent for a moment before saying, "Lend me as much as you can. If we win the prize money, we'll split it in half."

"I need to prepare for the college entrance exam, so I can't help you with anything. I can only offer money, which is a bit too much. I definitely can't accept the prize money. If I do win the prize, I only need to keep the principal." Shen Qingyue refused, thinking that she would make you owe her a favor. If she was too calculating, how could there be a story?

Chen Mu nodded. This girl was indeed a hothouse flower, too naive. He felt so bad for scheming so much to cheat this young girl out of her money.

Strictly speaking, it can't be called a scam. The participation was real, and the money spent was real. Whether or not they can win an award is hard to say, but at least the funds for tomorrow's physical training are secured!

Chen Mu had already planned how to get it from the principal if he couldn't get it.
