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

Wang Dong had no idea what he had done to earn Sir Isaac Newton's admiration.

All he knew was that Sir Isaac Newton had once again come to his rescue.

For Wang Dong right now, the reward of "0.1 in thinking" is the most useful reward.

The reason he is not very efficient at studying books on his own is because his [thinking] attribute is 0.

The efficiency with which ordinary people understand and absorb knowledge is naturally incomparable to that of Sir Isaac Newton; otherwise, why would high school last for three years?

I, Sir Isaac Newton, could easily master it in a month.

Of course, Chinese language is another matter.

After receiving the [Mindset*0.1] bonus, Wang Dong, while not as monstrous as Sir Isaac Newton, was still a qualitative leap compared to his former self.

What he used to have to study two or three times to barely grasp, he can now master almost completely after just one study.

Before noon the day before yesterday, this was something Wang Dong would dream of and wake up laughing about.

Finally, I'm at the same level as my classmates!

This matter had actually been troubling him for a long time.

The classmates all had similar scores on the high school entrance exam, studied in the same classroom, listened to the same teachers, and attended the same classes.

Why are the vast majority of students able to grasp the concepts in one go and quickly apply them to other situations?

But he had to study again and again, and the once ambitious young man became timid and depressed.

Today, the gloom that had troubled the boy for so long has finally dissipated.

Parting the clouds reveals a heart brimming with youthful spirit.

We're all the same age, who would willingly remain subservient to someone else for long!

"Today is truly a day of double happiness!"

Not only did I gain the passive ability [Mathematical Intuition], but my [Thinking] attribute also received a 0.1 point bonus.

This kind of good thing certainly deserves to be celebrated.

Wang Dong decided that he would reward himself by studying the entire compulsory mathematics course from beginning to end today.

"I aim to raise my math score to 140 by the end of this month."

With a value of [Thinking: 0.1], fulfilling this requirement is not too difficult.

Ms. Fang Meili worked a little overtime today, and it was already 10 p.m. when she got home.

She habitually peeked out and saw Wang Dong writing furiously, which made her feel somewhat gratified.

Dongdong has been very enthusiastic about studying these past two days.

So Ms. Fang Meili didn't choose to disturb the focused Wang Dong, but instead went into the kitchen, only to find that the sink was empty.

The dinner left for Wang Dong in the refrigerator remained untouched.

"Dongdong, didn't you eat dinner tonight?"

Upon hearing Ms. Fang Meili's question, Wang Dong realized it was already evening.

He had been studying for eight hours straight without realizing it, but he felt like he had only just opened the book a short while ago.

Is this a state of flow?

Under the influence of the dual 0.1 attributes of [Focus] and [Thinking], Wang Dong entered a realm he had never experienced before.

Flow state is when you are so engrossed in something that you lose track of time.

This is an essential ability for every genius.

Clearly, Wang Dong has taken the first step toward becoming a genius.

Seeing that Wang Dong did not respond, Ms. Fang Meili repeated her question.

Wang Dong finally snapped out of his flow state.

"Oh, I was so engrossed in reading that I forgot about eating. Shall we eat now?"

Ms. Fang Meili was clearly not expected to get this answer, and she paused for a moment before continuing.

"I'll heat it up for you. Eat less, it's time to go to sleep soon."

Wang Dong hummed in agreement and turned back into a state of flow.

In the kitchen, Ms. Fang Meili hummed a song as she stir-fried the leftovers together in a frying pan.

Her initial gloomy mood vanished instantly.

Any Chinese mother would be happy that her son is now studying.

Rest days are always too short. For the top students at Tianhai No.1 High School, the weekend seems to last only a moment.

For students, there are two things in the world that are most heartbreaking.

One is getting up early for school, the other is getting exam results.

Even the top students at Tianhai No.1 High School cannot escape the fate of being tormented by these two things.

After all, wherever there are people, there will be comparisons.

Everyone was unusually tense during this morning's self-study session because, unsurprisingly, the results of the monthly exam had already been released.

You can always trust the speed at which senior high school teachers grade papers.

"Dongzi, how's it going? Are you confident about the exam this time?"

Because it was morning self-study, Li Lei quietly leaned close to Wang Dong's ear and whispered as softly as possible.

Wang Dong thought about the physics exam paper he had completed with great enthusiasm and replied in a low voice.

"It's alright, it should be an improvement over before."

"How come you don't seem nervous at all?"

Li Lei was very envious of Wang Dong's relaxed attitude. "This is the last mock exam before the class division. The next one will be the placement test."

"They say it's even harder than this exam!"

Wang Dong was a little confused. "Then why are you so nervous? It's not like we're being assigned to classes based on this year's results."

"My Dongzi, you're so relaxed."

"The placement test will be right after the National Day holiday, and there are only about ten days left."

"How much can you improve in these ten days? Basically, your ranking in this monthly exam will be the result of your placement exam."

After listening to Li Lei's explanation, Wang Dong finally understood why everyone was so nervous.

It's indeed difficult for someone to make a qualitative leap in just over ten days, but that's generally the case.

However, Wang Dong was not in Class 1.

Even without items like the [Jazz Experience Card], with his current meager stats, increasing them by thirty or forty points shouldn't be a problem.

After all, learning is about understanding and memorizing knowledge so that you can apply it.

For Wang Dong now, he has already learned a lot in just over ten days.

As for Li Lei, who was now restless, he was truly helpless and could only offer a comforting look.

After that, Wang Dong threw himself back into his arduous task of studying.

Today he took the compulsory mathematics course 2. That's right, after yesterday's intense flow state study, Wang Dong has completely mastered the compulsory mathematics course 1, but he hasn't experienced it in practice yet.

Ignoring Li Lei, Wang Dong, now in a state of flow, continued studying until class.

Today's first lesson is physics.

If it were the old Wang Dong, he would definitely put Sir Isaac Newton's picture on the table and start praying frantically.

Now, however, Wang Dong can calmly wait for the physics teacher to stand on the podium before closing the book on compulsory mathematics course two.

This is the confidence that Sir Isaac Newton gave him.

Old Wu's expression wasn't too good when he entered the classroom; anyone with eyes could see that their class's results weren't ideal this time.

"Class representative, curls."

As the class representative moved back and forth among the students, the rustling sound of exam papers filled the entire classroom.

"Holy crap, 63!"

Li Lei shouted excitedly when he saw his score.

Old Wu glanced at him with a dark expression, and Li Lei quickly covered his mouth.

Only when Lao Wu's gaze wandered elsewhere did Li Lei relax. He then said to Wang Dong with a hint of smugness.

"Sorry Dongzi, I was lucky, your brother Li passed again..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Dong's exam paper.

Let me see how many points Dongzi got. 94... It's okay if he didn't pass, there's always next time...

Just as Li Lei was about to offer some words of comfort, he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss.

He leaned close to Wang Dong's face, staring intently at the two bright red numbers on the other's exam paper.

94 ...

His deskmate, who always failed with him, actually scored 94?

Li Lei felt his worldview collapse and was too shocked to speak.

Wang Dong calmly pushed Li Lei's large face aside, "Leizi, you've changed a lot in just three days..."

Li Lei was puzzled. Everyone was about the same, so how come you suddenly became so awesome?

He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Sir Isaac Newton's photograph in Wang Dong's desk.

So praying really works! Should I try it next time?
