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

Through Wang Dong's understanding and application of the patterns, his various values ​​improved significantly.

Apart from [Perception], it is still a lonely zero.

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have affected his learning progress much.

After his other three attributes improved once again, Wang Dong's learning ability made a qualitative leap.

His study spree accelerated as a result. With the boost from his improved stats and the bonus from the [Newton Fragment], he completed his study of all science subjects before the next monthly exam.

His monthly exam results also improved further, reaching the middle level of the class.

"How exactly should I learn Chinese and English...?"

Wang Dong sat at his seat, looking at his newly released monthly exam results with a sense of unease.

For no other reason than he studied diligently for two months, but his grades in those two subjects barely improved at all.

My Chinese score was even lower than the last monthly exam.

"Speaking of which, weren't Newton and Gauss both Europeans? How come my English hasn't improved at all? Looks like I need to find a new 'god' to worship. I wonder if Lu Xun would be suitable..."

Wang Dong sat in his seat muttering to himself, completely unaware that someone had appeared next to him.

"Long time no see, my deskmate!"

Gong Zhan returned to school after a long absence and was about to give his long-lost deskmate Wang Dong a big hug.

Fortunately, Wang Dong reacted quickly and refused.

"Is the match over? What was the result?"

Gong Zhan confidently gave himself a thumbs up, "Needless to say, International Finance! And he's a top 50 student guaranteed admission!"

Wang Dong nodded to indicate that he understood, and then continued looking at the textbook in his hand.

Although he had already completed the task of thoroughly studying the textbook, and all he needed to do next was to keep practicing to improve his score, Wang Dong would still pick up the textbook from time to time to review it again.

Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear.

Gong Zhan hadn't expected his deskmate to be so cold. After all, they hadn't seen each other for over a month. Shouldn't he have been more enthusiastic?

Many students in Class 1 participated in the competition. In order to prepare for the finals, they have almost not attended classes for a month for intensive training.

With only half of his classmates still at school and no social pressure, Wang Dong had a relaxed and comfortable month.

In fact, he hoped that these contestants would return a little later.

Although his abilities have improved, his personality hasn't changed much.

Two months have passed, and Wang Dong has only become slightly more familiar with his deskmate, Gong Zhan.

Just a little bit.

Seeing that Wang Dong ignored him, Gong Zhan didn't take it to heart, after all, he was a rather carefree person.

However, he noticed that Wang Dong was reading Physics Elective 3, which piqued his interest.

"You're really something else, treating textbooks like extracurricular reading. Aren't you bored?"

"I'm just reviewing what I've learned to gain new insights."

"They're already good enough to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam, why do you need to check?"

"High school textbooks contain outdated knowledge; if you want to learn, you should look at university textbooks."

Wang Dong didn't understand. Knowledge is knowledge, how can it become outdated?

What does "outdated" mean?

Seeing an opportunity to show off, Gong Zhan naturally couldn't let it pass. In fact, this kind of knowledge was common knowledge among the competition students.

"The knowledge in high school textbooks has been simplified, and there may even be some errors in order to facilitate teaching."

"For example, Newton's three laws of motion apply to all subjects in high school."

"But in reality, it only applies to macroscopic, low-speed inertial frames of reference, because higher up is the realm of relativity."

"Take chemistry for example. Don't you think it's absurd? Why do these two substances always react this way when they're together? High school teachers just make you memorize it by rote, but there's actually a whole set of theoretical basis for it."

Gong Zhan said with a profound expression, "So you don't need to treat high school textbooks as gospel; they have many limitations and shortcomings."

Gong Zhan was very pleased with his impassioned explanation.

So, are you captivated by me?

He turned to look at Wang Dong, only to find that the guy's reaction was indifferent.

No, this is so boring! Give me some feedback, bro!

In fact, Gong Zhan's words greatly shocked Wang Dong, but he did not show it because he was in a state of flow.

So that's how it is. No wonder he always felt that the knowledge was not systematic when he was studying, and he could only memorize a lot of the content by rote.

He initially thought it was because his numerical values ​​were insufficient to understand the concepts, never imagining it might be a problem with the textbook.

But in fact, there is a reason for the textbooks to be arranged this way. Each subject complements the others. Without prior knowledge from other subjects, it is impossible to learn certain knowledge in another subject well.

Therefore, during the stage of popular education, textbooks were appropriately simplified and integrated in order to lay a foundation.

At the higher education level, however, it involves a systematic relearning process.

Gong Zhan's words undoubtedly opened up new ideas for Wang Dong. Although his goal was the college entrance examination, he did not have to limit himself to it.

Knowledge is as vast as the ocean; if you remain confined to a single island, you will never be able to reach the distant horizon.

Moreover, he had witnessed how these competition students approached the college entrance examination questions, a complete and utter defeat.

Although his science scores have improved significantly, he can only get a perfect score in physics, which was personally taught by Sir Isaac Newton. In other subjects, he can only get an average high score.

Although the college entrance examination is a competition of who has the strongest overall ability, it would be too useless to not even get a perfect score when I have a system.

Wang Dong, who had thought he would stagnate, saw hope for progress again.

"Thank you so much, Gong Zhan!"

Wang Dong suddenly patted Gong Zhan on the shoulder, startling the young man.

Why does this guy never play by the rules?

"What should I do if I want to learn university-level knowledge?"

Gong Zhan, who was somewhat stunned by the photo, took a moment to respond.

"That's easy, just search on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website) for how to systematically learn a certain subject."

"Although they're all in the US right now and just got off the plane, they're still pretty reliable on this topic. Just follow their book list."

Wang Dong once again expressed his deepest gratitude to Gong Zhan.

Gong Zhan was stunned for a moment, but soon other classmates found out about his admission without examination and came over to congratulate him.

He quickly put the little incident with Wang Dong behind him.

The next day, Wang Dong had never looked forward to the end of school so much.

Back home, for the first time in months, he didn't choose to continue studying, but instead immediately turned on his computer and immersed himself in the world of Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website).

A whole new world unfolded before his eyes.
