I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

Whether it's studying or playing games.

What ordinary people consider impressive is far from enough to be a career, just like the anime "Slam Dunk" that I loved as a child.

Even if he is already the top player in the anime, dominating the national basketball team, he seems very powerful, but if he were sent to the NBA, he might not even be able to get a bench spot.

And these are all anime protagonists, yet they can't even win a national high school championship. But this is reality. There are no cheat codes. A high school student with a bit more talent wants to play in the NBA? Are you still dreaming?

Therefore, the college entrance examination is only the first step for Chen Mu. Now, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Chen Mu no longer needs to do practice questions. He has already verified that as long as he has looked at them, he can basically understand them.

Furthermore, it's inconvenient to do practice questions on a computer, so it's better to save those practice questions for the daytime and focus on absorbing the knowledge from online classes at night.

Only after physical training did Chen Mu dare to truly dream that one day he would be able to overcome ALS and become a true scientist; otherwise, even if he were the top scorer in the college entrance examination...

They are still a long way from becoming scientists. Most top scorers in the college entrance examination can get a high-paying job and become senior employees in a big company, which is already very good. Earning millions a year is already a success in life, but becoming a scientist is simply out of reach.

"Tonight I'm going to dominate the first year of high school!" At this moment, Chen Mu was like Genji Takiya from Crows Zero, his whole being burning with uncontrollable passion.

Just like back then, when I was determined to get a diamond in one night, I was full of passion, enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

Throughout the night, Huang Zhong would glance at Chen Mu after each game, hoping he would change his mind, turn over a new leaf, and return to the embrace of esports.

It seems Mu Ge is serious; he spent the entire night watching online classes. It's outrageous, exaggerated, and unbelievable.

Why didn't you do this sooner?

You only realize you need to work hard when there are only 100 days left in your senior year of high school; your baby dies, and you only realize you need to breastfeed now? You only know to shake your nose when snot drips into your mouth?

It wasn't until late at night that Chen Mu discovered his hostile takeover had some side effects: he was hungry.

And I'm getting hungrier and hungrier. I don't know if it's because my intelligence is increasing, leading to higher energy consumption, or because I'm staying up late and using my brain like crazy.

Chen Mu felt he really wanted to eat, so he ordered through the internet cafe system: a bowl of instant noodles, two sausages, and a braised egg.

Once the food is delivered, you can enjoy a delicious meal while continuing to watch.

After finishing the meal, I felt like I hadn't had enough and was only about 50% full.

Wow, I'm such an energy consumer! Now I not only have to worry about money for exercise, but I also have to figure out how to earn money for food.

"A single instant noodle meal costs me 10 dollars, plus 15 dollars for staying up all night, so my daily fixed expenses are at least 25 dollars every night. Add to that three meals during the day, which cost at least 30 dollars, making it 65 dollars a day."

"I need to prepare a budget of at least 2000 yuan this month. I'm short of money. How am I going to get the money?" Chen Mu thought.

Huang Zhong's family is well-off, so borrowing a little money from him for meals shouldn't be a problem, but it's not a long-term solution.

I need to think of a solution, but let's focus on the present first. At least I still have a few thousand yuan, which should be enough before the next body-strengthening session.

In one night, Chen Mu finally finished all the courses in the first semester of the first year of high school.

If word got out about this speed, countless students would be stunned. First-year high school students have to learn about sets, quadratic functions, trigonometric functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, etc. Basically, the first semester of high school is all about battling functions.

Learning a semester's worth of material in one day is terrifying to even think about.

However, compared to true geniuses, Chen Mu is still far behind. You should know that the famous mathematical prince Gauss, at the same age, solved the age-old problem of how to draw a regular heptadecagon in one night.

It can be said that with his talent, he is definitely above Chen Mu in the present, so although Chen Mu is satisfied, he is not arrogant yet.

I left the internet cafe with my two sleepy-eyed roommates and headed to the breakfast stall.

"Brother Mu, that's enough. You've worked hard all day, you can rest now," Huang Zhong advised.

"That won't do. We need to work hard for at least 100 days," Chen Mu shook his head.

"Hey, does that mean some girl promised to date you if you got into the same university as him? Otherwise, I find it hard to imagine someone suddenly being this bold," Huang Zhong laughed.

"Like the kind in the movies, Shen Jiayi, right?" Liu Weice joked.

"Huh? Shen Jiayi also filmed that?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

"Go to hell! It's like I only watch Japanese adult films. He's slandering me!" Liu Weice said angrily.

"Alright, considering how many years you've helped me rank up, I still don't believe you can stick to it. How about this: if you stick to studying and not playing games at the internet cafe for one day, I'll treat you to breakfast for the whole day. Today's meal is on me," Huang Zhong said.

"Really, Godfather?" Liu Weice asked. "Can I join you? I'll treat you to a meal every day I abstain from sex."

"Then how do I know if you've quit or not?" Huang Zhong asked.

"I swear!" Liu Weice said.

"Your oath is as credible as the head of Louis XVI—it simply doesn't exist!" Chen Mu retorted, earning another bit of negative emotional points from Liu Weice.

The three walked out of the internet cafe. It was a little after 6 a.m., the sky was just beginning to lighten, and students were already heading to school.

Huang Zhong cursed under his breath, "These guys are really shameless."

Chen Mu didn't speak, but his gaze was drawn to a familiar figure by the roadside.

Jiang Yueyao!

She rode a white bicycle, wearing a neat school uniform, her ponytail swaying gently in the morning breeze. As she passed the internet cafe, she subconsciously turned her head and gave Chen Mu a deep look.

That look in his eyes was complex—it contained disappointment, helplessness, and a hint of "I knew it" relief.

She saw Chen Mu come out of the internet cafe and was speechless. She thought he really wanted to study hard, but he was exposed after only one day.

I still had some illusions. Even if I couldn't get into a bachelor's program in 100 days, getting into a decent associate's degree would be pretty good, right?

Chen Mu also saw Jiang Yueyao, but he didn't care at all. He knew what he should do and had a clear conscience.

It turns out there's a reason why they get good grades; they go to school at 6:00 AM, and morning reading starts at 7:30 AM—that's way too early.

"Boss, give me three large bowls of rice noodles, one fried dough stick, two eggs, one basket of shumai, and one basket of xiaolongbao," Chen Mu ordered.

"No need to order so much, we can't finish it. I usually eat small bowls," Liu Weice waved his hand.

"No, this is what I ordered for myself. Just tell the boss what you want to order," Chen Mu said.

"???"

Two question marks at the end. No, you ate three bowls of noodles by yourself? Liu Zi only ate one bowl of noodles, and people said he would commit seppuku after eating two bowls. You ate three bowls?

"You don't have to stuff yourself to death just because I'm treating. Let me tell you, if you don't finish your food, I'll shove it into your mouth!" Huang Zhong threatened.

Chen Mu was not flustered at all and was very confident in his appetite.

Let's make a killing today!

After the meal, only a satisfied Chen Mu and two dumbfounded roommates remained.

We finished eating, even the soup was gone.

Three big bowls of noodles! Are you preparing to participate in a competitive eating contest?

Huang Zhong was still shaken after paying the bill. The money was a small matter; his parents were business people who were away from home most of the year, and they felt very guilty for making him board at school.

His monthly living expenses are as high as 3000 yuan, and he occasionally receives some red envelopes. Most working people don't even earn as much as him. A mere breakfast is nothing to him. It's just that Chen Mu's change is too great, which is a bit hard for people to accept.

However, it is still within the realm of humans. Due to the development of short videos in recent years, various competitive eaters have emerged. Eating more than ten bowls in one meal is nothing compared to eating more than ten kilograms in one meal.

Therefore, Chen Mu's behavior did not tempt them to report him or send him for research.
