I'm a scientist, why can't I have faith?

"Great Sir Isaac Newton, please bless me so I don't fail my physics exam this afternoon!"

Wang Dong kowtowed three times heavily in front of the picture of Newton on the table.

Even if placed in the last row of the classroom, this is still a top-notch operation.

However, the students in the class did not react much.

Because there's nobody there.

Wang Dong wasn't stupid; he deliberately chose his lunch break to complete his ritual.

At this time, everyone was basically scrambling for food in the cafeteria, and the classroom was empty, but unfortunately, someone still saw us.

"Dongzi, are you still praying? You pray to all sorts of gods before every exam, but you haven't done that well!"

The speaker was Li Lei, who had been Wang Dong's deskmate for two years, and the two had a fairly good relationship.

He leaned close to Wang Dong's ear, pointed a finger and said mysteriously, "Why not offer it to your brother Li? Maybe he'll let you glance at it during the exam."

"Get lost."

Doesn't he know Li Lei's level? Even if Wang Dong stepped on his physics test twice, Li Lei would still get a higher score than if he wrote it himself.

If someone copies his work, they'll struggle to even pass.

After sending Li Lei aside, Wang Dong carefully put away the photo of Sir Isaac Newton, patted his bottom, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to pick out some leftovers.

After all, if something hasn't sold out by now, it's either extremely poor value for money or tastes terrible.

Li Lei watched Wang Dong's departing figure with a sigh. Dongzi wasn't like this before...

Although Wang Dong's grades are consistently among the worst in his class now, he was actually a dominant force in his area before he entered high school.

It's just that perhaps the knowledge gained in high school has undergone a qualitative change, or perhaps it's because they came from a small town to a key high school in a big city.

Anyway, he's just another ordinary person now.

As for praying to the gods for blessings before exams, Wang Dong started doing that last semester.

He saw this method online and read comments saying it was effective.

When it comes to faith, Wang Dong has always held the attitude of "better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't."

He wasn't sure if it was just psychological, but he felt that it was indeed helpful, though the effect wasn't obvious.

Before enjoying a plate of stir-fried chili peppers, Wang Dong silently prayed to Sir Isaac Newton.

"Please bless me, Sir Isaac Newton!"

Just then, a notification sound rang in Wang Dong's ear.

[Believer system already bound]

[The host has prayed to Sir Isaac Newton 1000 times]

The great Sir Isaac Newton endorsed your faith.

[Receive Jazz Experience Card *1]

Becoming a Novice to Jazz

The 1000 prayers were not in vain; they received a response from God.

As a normal high school student, Wang Dong naturally knew what this thing was.

A system, something every teenager has dreamed of.

Who wouldn't love a life that seems to be on easy mode?

This cheat is right in front of Wang Dong, and it seems to be quite powerful.

The "Jazz Experience Card" – judging from the name, it seems like it lets me be Newton for a little while?

Driven by intense curiosity, Wang Dong used the [Jazz Experience Card].

[Consumes 1 Jazz Experience Card]

[59:59 remaining in playtime]

A countdown suddenly appeared before his eyes, and the instant it appeared, Wang Dong's brain felt a dimensional shift.

Everything around me became clear, as if new ravines were forming in my cerebral cortex.

Those formulas that were originally memorized by rote have become vivid and interesting.

Wang Dong had a clear feeling that, if he wanted to, there was no knowledge he couldn't learn.

Even problems that seem unsolvable can be answered if given time.

Is this the mind of Sir Isaac Newton, this all-knowing insight...?

It's captivating.

Unfortunately, the experience is only for one hour.

Realizing the preciousness of time, Wang Dong, ignoring his half-eaten lunch, dashed back to the classroom from the cafeteria.

It would be a desecration of Sir Isaac Newton to not use such a brilliant mind to study!

"You're back so soon? Are you Ryoko reincarnated?"

Ignoring Li Lei's teasing, Wang Dong went straight back to his seat and took out his physics book.

The monthly physics exam is at 2 PM, so there's still about an hour to go.

Wang Dong had originally planned to take a nap, because high school seniors are always sleep-deprived.

He's now preparing to cram at the last minute, though he's unsure how far he could go even with a brain like Newton's.

But we can't just waste a trial card, can we?

When Li Lei saw Wang Dong take out his physics textbook, he silently shut his mouth, even though he had originally wanted to interrupt.

This is the environment of a top-tier high school: you may not study, but you cannot affect the studies of other students. This is a quality that every student should possess.

For the rest of the time, Wang Dong was completely immersed in the ocean of physics.

Although high school physics may seem difficult, it actually only consists of five parts.

Mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and atomic physics.

The first two parts are the key points and also the difficult ones, while the latter three parts only involve conceptual understanding and simple calculations.

Moreover, these five modules are basically independent of each other. Based on this characteristic, Wang Dong chose to start with the last three simplest modules.

Then he realized how terrifying Newton was.

All the definitions and concepts can be understood and memorized immediately after reading them once, without any need for rote memorization.

Each and every tiny piece of knowledge automatically connects in his mind to form a knowledge graph.

Those calculations were a piece of cake for him.

"Damn, how come I couldn't remember something this simple even after reading it five times?"

Even the photoelectric effect equation that had troubled him for so long, he immediately grasped the essence of the photon theory after just one reading.

With his eyes closed, the photons of different frequencies seemed to be right in front of him, and he felt as if he had complete control over the energy conversion of each collision.

Wang Dong had never thought physics was so simple.

Meanwhile, Li Lei could only hear Wang Dong turning the pages of the book.

"How can you possibly understand anything from flipping through a book so quickly? What happened to Dongzi in the cafeteria? Did he see his goddess running off with someone?"

Li Lei was unaware that in just 20 minutes, Wang Dong had already fully mastered thermodynamics, optics, and atomic physics.

Of course, this only applies to the scope of the college entrance examination.

Next comes the crucial subjects of mechanics and electromagnetism.

For the next 40 minutes, Wang Dong focused on studying these two parts.

In the last second of the countdown, he had just gone through all the content of high school physics.

An unprecedented surge of dopamine rushed into his brain.

Learning can be such a great thing!

However, as the effects of the trial card wore off, he reverted to his mediocre self.

An indescribable sense of disappointment welled up inside me.

I wish I had a brain like Sir Isaac Newton's; intelligence is indeed addictive.

Sir Isaac Newton felt the sincere faith of the believers.
