A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Come on, actually managing to win over a girl like that is like winning the lottery.

Finally, girls who look like clowns but are obviously rich are easier to pick up, and they're also willing to spend money.

"But... if they're too ugly, I can't bring myself to do it," Zhang Xuan said weakly.

"Damn it, do you even look at yourself? You look down on others, but they look down on you too."

Lin Zheng made a crazy rant, took his phone, turned on the front camera, and saw his sleazy face with his slanted eyebrows.

"Holy crap, that's fucking amazing!" Zhang Xuan exclaimed, immediately snatching the phone. He then fiddled with his still-damp bangs with one hand while looking at the phone before revealing a satisfied smile. "That's fucking so cool!"

Lin Zheng immediately became expressionless. He thought to himself, "Did you wash your hair this morning and get water in your brain?"

He then patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and got back to the main topic: "It's okay, just go after those slightly ugly rich girls. Trust me, women are all the same when the lights are off. And isn't the most useful knowledge we've learned the wheelbarrow method? So it doesn't matter if you're ugly, a good figure and good skin are the key."

"You mean the old man...?"

Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow in a lewd manner.

Then the two of them coughed, something that shouldn't be said in public.

The first class in the morning was math. Zhou Ming entered the classroom five minutes early, carrying yesterday's exam paper.

"Our class did really well on yesterday's exam, but what surprised me was the huge gap between the first and second place winners."

He smiled and looked at the students below the stage who had fallen silent. After scanning the room, his gaze landed on Lin Zheng.

"Damn, Lin, look, Teacher Zhou is watching you. He's definitely angry that you slept during his class exam yesterday." Zhang Xuan nudged Lin Zheng's arm and whispered gloatingly.

"Hmm? It's just sleeping through a class, why the need for overnight revenge?" Lin Zheng scoffed.

On stage, Zhou Ming began reading out the scores for the entire class.

"Our class and Class 6 both took this test. The highest score in Class 6 next door was 125 points, with 3 students scoring above 120 points and 20 students scoring above 105 points."

In our class, only one student scored above 120, but 10 students scored above 105. There were about 30 students who passed the exam.

This test was a bit difficult. Don't be disappointed when you see your scores; after all, this test was indeed much harder than the actual college entrance exam.

Different classes have different standards, so Zhou Ming treated Class 7 much better than he treated Class 6.

"Before announcing the scores of the top few, I want to say something."

Yesterday during our exam, some students actually fell asleep! That's incredibly disrespectful to the teacher! It's so disrespectful to the exam!

Here I would like to invite him to come up on stage and talk about how he learns mathematics.

I won't call out names; this student volunteered to come up.

As soon as he finished speaking, whispers immediately broke out among the people below.

"Hehehe~, I told you, Lao Lin, you're finished, you're finished!"

Zhang Xuan pointed and mocked Lin Zheng, who had stood up.

Lin Zheng was unsure what Teacher Zhou was planning to do this week, so he walked nervously onto the podium.

"Don't be nervous, just talk normally about how you learn math and share your experience with everyone."

Zhou Ming patted Lin Zheng on the shoulder in a friendly manner, indicating that he meant no harm.

He did this partly to test whether Lin Zheng had done the practice test in advance and could directly use the answers during the actual exam.

On the other hand, it is also fulfilling the responsibility of a teacher—to nurture students.

It's not enough for students to just take exams; they also need experience speaking in front of an audience.

Lin Zheng didn't know what to say, so he could only do as Zhou Ming told him to do.

"Actually, math is very simple. Just memorize the formulas and do lots of practice problems. That will guarantee you pass even if you don't have any talent." These were his heartfelt words.

He has absolutely no talent when it comes to studying and taking exams; he can only barely pass.

"Secondly, you need to learn mathematical thinking."

Every problem we solve, whether difficult or easy, can generally be attributed to a process. The problem simply removes one step from this process and requires us to deduce the removed step using other known conditions.

In fact, we start learning mathematical thinking from elementary school. For example, 1 + how much = 3, where the "how much" is the missing element.

As students progress through junior high and high school, this process becomes increasingly longer, more dispersed, and involves more areas that are eliminated, making it more complex and diverse.

Gifted students are better able to understand this process and are familiar with its format, but doing more practice problems and summarizing can also compensate for lack of talent...

Lin Zheng rambled on on stage, and the students below seemed to understand, but also felt like they hadn't really heard anything.

These are Lin Zheng's insights after adding points twice.

The so-called integration and mastery is not just about deepening the impression of knowledge points, but also about absorbing many skills and experiences in a subtle way.

Why is it that even with a thorough understanding, one still can't get full marks in math and physics?

Because he doesn't belong to the kind of gifted individuals, he can't understand that kind of "process" that's too long, too complicated, and difficult to formulate.

He spoke for about ten minutes, and Zhou Ming listened with rapt attention.

He was in a daze.

He is 36 years old and has been a teacher for 12 years.

Adding his three years of high school, that means he spent 15 years in high school.

Unexpectedly, my mathematical thinking was not as good as that of a student who often slept.

Damn it! It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

At this moment, his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Lin Zheng.

This kid is definitely playing dumb to fool others.

Okay, so you're not pretending anymore?

Chapter 16: For the sake of showing off!

"Our class's third place in this exam is Yang Rui, with 112 points; the second place is Zhou Xing, with 115 points; and the first place is Lin Zheng, with 143 points!"

When Zhou Ming announced the scores of the top three students in the exam, all the students in the audience were in an uproar.

"How is that possible? How could Lin Zheng score 143 points? With his grades, he'd struggle to even pass!"

Immediately, some students exclaimed in disbelief.

"Exactly! Last time I asked him a question, he dawdled for ages trying to solve it, and then he got it wrong. How could he suddenly become so amazing?" a girl said in a sweet, coquettish voice, expressing her disbelief.

"But... is it possible that Lin Zheng... was faking it before?" a more rational student asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I also felt that he might have been faking it before. Just now, when he shared his math experience, I was absolutely amazed."

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I usually only score around 110, but after what he just said, I feel like I might break through and reach 120!" Yang Rui, the top student in the class, poked his glasses and said solemnly.

"What? Old Yang, is that Lin Zheng really as amazing as you say?" Yang Rui's lackeys immediately crowded around to ask.

Yang Rui gave a soft "hmm" and nodded.

He couldn't help but gasp.

I never expected there would be such a genius in my class.

That's seriously pretentious!

You can usually get high scores, so why do you insist on getting a passing grade and just trying to get by?

Could it be that they're planning to develop stealthily and then quietly amaze us?

Okay, okay, you like to pretend so much, don't you?

Then I'll pretend too!

What Lin Zheng didn't realize was that his unintentional act had given birth to a pretentious freak.

Later, after Yang Rui went to university, he would either skip classes or play on his phone during class, and then frantically work on problems when his classmates were not around, even secretly doing practice problems in bed with a flashlight in the middle of the night.

While others study, I sleep; while others sleep, I study.

While others were attending classes, I skipped them and went to the library to compete.

Before each final exam, he would pretend to study and spend an hour going through the book in a perfunctory manner.

When the final grades came out, he would lament in the class group, "Holy crap, I only got a score in the nineties. I should have studied for an extra hour."

He soon received a lot of envy from his classmates.

Damn, Yang Rui is so smart, he can get such a high score just by reading a book.

If he had worked harder in high school, wouldn't getting into Tsinghua or Peking University have been a piece of cake?

......

Even after class ended, Zhang Xuan, Lin Zheng's best friend, was still unable to come to his senses.

"Holy crap! Lin Zheng, you actually played me for three whole years!"

He was filled with grief and indignation.

Just a few days ago, the two were discussing whether they should apply to a second-tier university in the provincial capital together after the college entrance examination, so they could look out for each other in college.

But the result... well...

Immediately afterwards, a large group of classmates surrounded Lin Zheng, making envious and jealous comments about him, mostly calling him a movie star and a pretentious freak.

Lin Zheng feigned composure and offered no explanation.

Awesome! That's fucking awesome!

Is this the legendary "pretending to be weak to eat strong" tactic?

He actually stumbled upon it by sheer chance.

Within two class periods, news of a pretentious guy controlling grades quickly spread to several classrooms around the school.

Shu Rui, from the neighboring Class 6, who had complained that Lin Zheng was a slacker that morning, was completely stunned when she heard that he was actually a pretentious academic genius.

"Holy crap, this is ridiculous! She's clearly a top student, yet she deliberately controls her grades to secretly amaze everyone?" she exclaimed as she sat down.

Suddenly, she remembered her conversation with Jiang Luoyu last night. She said that a strange and wonderful person had appeared in the next class and scored 143 points in math.

Jiang Luoyu seemed to glance at Lin Zheng at that moment...?

At that time, she didn't even know Lin Zheng's name, but she knew he was a top student!

They're having an affair!

Jiang Luoyu was conflicted at this moment, as she did not understand the meaning of her dream.

Why did she dream of Lin Zheng and remember his name so clearly?

Could this be fate?

However, why is the guy in my dream a blond student from Songyun Academy?

Then, she made some reasoning.

If you can't get into a 211 university, you can apply for a targeted enrollment program and have a high chance of studying at Songyun College.

Lin Zheng is pursuing her again. If he really, really likes her, he might even apply to that school's targeted enrollment program to force himself to be in the same school as her, or even in the same class.

Thinking about it that way, it really is possible!

So, isn't that "that" dream... something that might happen in the future!?

“Wang Meng, Chen Hao…” She suddenly recalled the two names from her dream.

One was Lin Zheng's blond-haired master. She couldn't remember what he looked like, or rather, she didn't know what he looked like at all.

The only scene she could recall was what happened at that hotel.

However, she remembered Chen Hao very clearly.

He's fat, and his family is rich and powerful.

Songyun City is a fourth-tier city, and Songyun College is a second-tier university with almost all its students being local residents.

Therefore, Chen Hao is most likely a local.

She analyzed it silently.

If she has the opportunity to meet or get to know Chen Hao, this rich second-generation, in the future, perhaps she will be able to make a decision.
