I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

Chapter 4 Body Tempering is King, I'm Getting Stronger

It must be said that Wang Xuan's speculation is very reasonable.

From his current perspective, Chen Mu might also think that he's acting and putting on a show.

After all, who would suddenly and dramatically improve their mental arithmetic skills for no reason?

However, before Chen Mu could speak, Liu Weice immediately retorted, "Who are you calling a double agent? If you disagree, you give me a question!"

"Good brother!" Chen Mu gave a thumbs up in his heart. It's good to have a straight man.

Wang Xuan clearly dislikes me, so slapping him in the face will definitely earn me a lot of negative emotion points.

Liu Weice didn't speak, but he was going to say something eventually.

"Fine, let's see how you act now. How do you say 957 x 369?"

"353133," Chen Mu blurted out.

"Hmph, you'll behave once I verify it." Wang Xuan pressed the calculator, the crisp sound of the calculator echoing in everyone's ears.

Only students with poor grades carry their phones with them all the time; those of us with good grades only have computers.

As long as you can endure until the end of the college entrance exam, you can still play with your phone however you want.

Simply press the equals sign and wait for the computer to give the correct answer.

Wang Xuan stood with one hand behind his back, looking confident and calm.

With his other hand, he deliberately raised the computer very high to ensure that Jiang Yueyao could hear it clearly.

Jiang Yueyao was indeed paying attention to this side. When Chen Mu suddenly started doing mental arithmetic, she was a little puzzled. Could it be that he was playing hard to get?

Did he deliberately act differently from others to avoid disturbing his studies, and then immediately show off his mental arithmetic skills?

Is it a bit narcissistic to think this way? But as a beautiful girl, I've seen so many ways to get my attention since I was little, it's hard not to think this way.

However, a crisp female voice came from the computer: "353133".

"Huh?" Wang Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect it to actually be right, but how could this be?

Mental arithmetic becomes exponentially more difficult once it exceeds two digits. Even I, a top student since childhood, would take several seconds to calculate a two-digit number, yet he could calculate a three-digit number without hesitation.

"Wang Xuan is surprised by your mental arithmetic speed and accuracy, negative emotions +100 points."

"No, did you learn some kind of fast algorithm for three-digit numbers? If you're so capable, try calculating four-digit numbers," Wang Xuan retorted, unconvinced.

"No problem." Chen Mu was happy to play along with him, and also to test his own limits.

"That's 4396×1557."

"6844572!"

Chen Mu still managed to defeat him instantly. Wang Xuan frantically pressed the calculator again, but before he could even finish pressing 4396, the other party had already calculated it. This was illogical.

"I don't believe it. It must be some kind of trick or something. What's the use of just doing multiplication? Let's do division." Wang Xuan continued to protest.

However, the increase in negative emotions by 443 further demonstrates his distress.

"Okay." Chen Mu nodded.

"What is 95272200443 ÷ 15577777?" Wang Xuan asked, his face already flushed, wanting to cheat.

"Hey, wait, we agreed on three or four figures, and this is already so much. Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Jiang Yueyao frowned and said.

Chen Mu didn't expect her to speak up for him. Maybe it was out of a sense of justice. Girls with a sense of justice are usually lucky. It's really good luck to have a deskmate like him.

"Wang Xuan's negative emotions due to jealousy of Jiang Yueyao speaking up for you have increased by 957."

"Hey, Clown Bro, you're really a great benefactor who helped me grow," Chen Mu thought to himself.

"It's alright, I've already calculated it," Chen Mu said with a smile. "6115.9."

There were still a lot of decimals left, which Chen Mu was too lazy to calculate. It would indeed take some time, and he could roughly sense that his mental calculation limit was not high enough.

I remember watching a show called "The Brain," which featured super-talented individuals selected from across the country and the world. Even they would probably be able to defeat this kind of person in no time.

Moreover, it involves very complex arithmetic operations, multiplying numbers of more than ten digits by more than ten digits, and then adding, subtracting, and so on, and it can all be calculated.

I feel there is still a lot of room for improvement, and I calculated it by brute force without using any special mental arithmetic techniques or formulas, so this improvement in intelligence is really terrifying.

Indeed, playing to one's strengths was the right choice. Although his intelligence might not be high, he had never had tutoring and had always been at the top of his class simply by attending classes, which showed that he was not unintelligent. Now, with this added advantage, Chen Mu was even more confident about his college entrance examination results in the 100-day sprint.

Wang Xuan, who had finally pressed the correct answer, was covered in sweat. It was indeed correct.

"The complete answer is 6115.904756050879, and you..." Wang Xuan originally wanted to say that it wasn't entirely correct, but seeing Jiang Yueyao's reaction, he was afraid of being hurt again and thought he couldn't accept defeat, so he could only say, "Well, I guess you're right."

"Wang Xuan wanted to cheat but didn't dare, negative emotions +1557."

"Damn, rich guy." Chen Mu thought, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Wang Xuan. This guy was so emotionally valuable.

"Wang Xuan is to me what Yuan Hua is to Charlotte, or the Joker is to Batman. Our Eastern Depot needs talents like you!" Chen Mu said with a big smile. His negative emotions had exploded, enough to satisfy his needs for a week.

comfortable!

Liu Weice laughed heartily, "You managed to show off, kid! Cough cough cough!"

He started coughing while laughing, and Chen Mu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just got strangled by ants, it's nothing serious," Liu Weice said, waving his hand.

"These ants are pretty strong." Chen Mu nodded, indicating that he understood. His roommate, nicknamed "Weak Brother," lived a life of weakness at school every day.

The yellowed walls of the dormitory were a testament to his glorious achievements.

He knew exactly who the pretty girls in the school looked like, just like Jiang Yueyao, who was called Little Liang Sen, with short hair, big eyes, and fair skin.

He has such a talent for description; Chen Mu has always been jealous of his talent.

Everyone in my dorm is talented and speaks very nicely. I love being a boarding student.

Wang Xuan could only console himself at this point: "So what if I'm really good at mental arithmetic? The college entrance exam doesn't test arithmetic, it tests math!"

He spoke very softly, but Chen Mu vaguely heard him. In fact, he was right; the math in the college entrance exam was no longer the same as elementary school arithmetic.

The test assesses understanding of formulas, logical reasoning, and mathematical thinking.

Having strong mental arithmetic skills makes you like an ancient general in exams—incredibly strong and highly skilled in martial arts. But, sir, times have changed; people are now using guns.

The exam tests marksmanship, not brute force or miracles.

However, having strong mental arithmetic skills is not entirely useless. In mathematics, physics, and chemistry, there are many problems with a lot of calculations. If you can calculate quickly and accurately, you can save a lot of time, and you can focus your early learning on mathematics.

Because of the reforms to the college entrance examination in recent years, the weight of mathematics has been increasingly emphasized, and a perfect score in mathematics can even lead to exceptional admission to some universities.

It's clear that the higher-ups understand that mathematics is king, and a great mathematician can drive progress in many industries and projects.

Therefore, Chen Mu prioritized testing his own improvement in mathematics.
