Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 17: The Melancholy of the King
A month passed quietly.

There was also the National Day in between, and the influence of Li Yan's miracle of getting full marks in three subjects in the difficult test gradually faded, and was replaced by rumors caused by his eccentricity.

Because the number of places for the provincial elementary school mathematics Olympiad competition had not yet been determined, classmates did not know about this. Li Yan, who studied the Olympiad tutorial books seriously in every class, became a conspicuous person.

Apart from occasionally asking Li Yan surprise questions, the teachers usually turned a blind eye to his behavior, which made everyone very confused.

But think about it, every time there was a sudden attack, Li Yan could continue calculating with his hands and answer the teacher's questions in seconds, just like answering questions like "1+1=2", and then sit back and continue calculating on the notebook with the teacher's satisfied expression.

The teachers seemed to have no reason to care about him.

Over time, the students got used to it. After all, since there was a genius in the class, it seemed like they could benefit from it.

As for genius, that is naturally incomprehensible.

Zhang Ming didn't think so, so from time to time he would gather the small group to talk about some of Li Yan's embarrassing moments and raise some opinions such as "it's unfair for the teacher to do this". Although the effect was minimal, at least the discussion was maintained.

So much so that Chen Wenjing had to ask Li Yan to keep a low profile and not affect other students.

So Li Yan stuffed the exercise book under the drawer to study, and now she couldn't even understand what he was doing in class.

After getting full marks in three subjects in the first unit test without any suspense, Li Yan still looked depressed, and the fat boy Lin Zhiyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore:
"My dear brother, please stop being so pretentious. I have received full marks in Chinese. What else are you not satisfied with?"

“Am I pretending?”

"I can't compare." Lin Zhiyuan raised his thumb.

"It's obviously the teacher who's trying to show off to me." Li Yan put on a helpless expression and began to imitate Chen Wenjing's tone, "I really don't want to give it full marks, but I really can't find any reason not to give it full marks."

Several classmates around couldn't help laughing out loud, causing Li Xinyuan to look back frequently.

"You are now the king of Yucai Primary School. How can a king become a melancholy prince?"

Li Yan was so embarrassed that her hair stood on end and she didn't want to talk at all.

"Are you really unhappy?" Lin Zhiyuan deliberately lowered his voice when he said this.

Li Yan did not answer, and turned her eyes away from the Mathematical Olympiad book. After a long while, she suddenly turned her attention to her deskmate:
"Play badminton with me this weekend."

He was indeed unhappy, but he couldn't tell others why he was unhappy.

System upgrade stuck.

Ever since he knew that the 2% score in the system only represented the average level of the relevant population, Li Yan was no longer excited about the improvement of some numbers - especially some inexplicable small skills. In this month, he helped his parents wash dishes three times and mopped the floor six times, and the result was +1 for washing dishes and + for mopping the floor.

The funniest thing is that one day he was walking home and found a bicycle fell over, so he picked it up, and then he heard a ding sound, morality +1.

Then he saw the fallen bicycle and wanted to help it from the bottom of his heart.

These small skills often have a low upper limit - at least Li Yan has no idea how to make instant noodles to reach 100 points, or what kind of noodles can be made with 100 points of ability?

Can you turn flour into gold?
A low upper limit means that as long as you can "basically complete" this content, the score will not be low. Looking at the 35 instant noodle skill and 22 points of muscle strength, Li Yan was very speechless:
“By then, a bunch of random stuff will be added, and it will be hard to filter out the data I want.”

That would be fine, but the most worrying thing is that the data that should have increased did not increase.

Li Yan bought a tutorial book for the first grade of junior high school with great ambition. However, he did not go out during the National Day holiday and stayed at home for a week to study. In the end, he was puzzled by the fact that he had only improved a little in Chinese, math and English.

He even thought of an uncomfortable possibility - this system can go from zero to thirty very quickly, but it is only as fast as zero to thirty. In other words, God gave him a system just to make him approach the average level in all aspects as quickly as possible?
He absolutely did not believe it! But the fact was that he was stuck. Fortunately, his 5-point logic provided him with a reasonable explanation:

Human beings' cognition of the world is divided into stages. In the early stage, we lay the foundation by learning a lot of basic knowledge and establishing a basic worldview. As the learning progresses, we gradually delve into one or several directions.

This also means that learning in elementary school is in line with the fundamental core principle of rapid improvement from “zero to thirty points”.

Otherwise, if Li Yan studied normally until high school, wouldn't the knowledge he accumulated be enough to directly improve the relevant skills by 60 to 70 percent?
The improvement of some skills is affected by both objective conditions and other related skill levels. Nutrition needs to be supplemented slowly. The more you supplement, the slower the progress. If nutrition is not kept up, physical condition will not be improved. If physical condition is not improved, sports-related skills and physical fitness-related indicators will all be difficult to improve. "Maybe I don't have a deep understanding of junior high school knowledge..." Li Yan finally thought of a reason for himself and recorded a new rule of guessing in the notebook:

When the system values ​​are advanced to a certain level through accumulation, breakthrough points will become a necessity.

“Isn’t it a brainless behavior to desperately learn new knowledge in advance?”

However, he was still very anxious and forced himself to eat a few more bites of food and do a few more push-ups every day.

Improvement, it is true. But the speed of adding points is very slow. Li Yan feels that even without the system, he would probably get the improvement he feels now if he practiced this way.

Soon he gave up on exercising. Before his rebirth, he had no interest in fitness. Apart from competitive sports like playing ball, he had no interest in fitness, running, and yoga. Although he knew that these could help him lose weight, shape his body, and build muscle, he just felt that the process was too boring.

After my rebirth, I once had a strong desire to exercise, but now my enthusiasm has been dampened by the slow positive feedback.

He suddenly realized that he was too dependent on the system and his need for positive feedback was too strong, so he decided to slow down the progress.

We have lived for several decades, and we have just been reborn for a month. Why are you in such a hurry?
Ding!
[Mind +1, total 4]

Li Yan smiled knowingly, "An unintentional planting of willow trees has resulted in a forest of willows. The ancients were not deceiving me."

It's not that the system didn't progress. The continuous study of Mathematical Olympiads did bring improvement. The calculation ability reached 42, becoming one of the few skills that exceeded 19% of the progress bar. Mathematics also improved further, reaching a total score of .

However, it remains to be seen whether this number is enough for him to shine in the provincial elementary school student Olympiad competition.

Li Yan, who had calmed down due to mental improvement, reviewed the past month and came to a magical conclusion:

If you want to improve your physical fitness, you have to push yourself to the limit of exercise intensity, and this can only be achieved if you can devote yourself to the sport.

So he still has to play badminton, but he needs a coach to teach him.

The partner was naturally Lin Zhiyuan, and the following magical conversation took place.

Sometimes Chen Fengling was too busy to pick up Li Yan, so Li Yan would slowly walk home with Lin Zhiyuan.

"Zhiyuan, let's not just play by ourselves, let's find a coach and sign up for classes."

"Okay, I'll torture you to death."

"You want to torture me, right?"

"Last time I was caught off guard by your sudden attack. Don't attack me by surprise. Defeat me fairly. Defeat me!"

Children always have incredible excitement...

"Okay, let's make a bet. We'll play one game before each practice and one game after each practice. You decide the rules. If you win two games, I'll pay for the training. If we each win one game, we'll split the cost. If I win all of them, you'll pay for the training. How about that?"

"Li Yan, we are brothers, I still want to make it clear, I have been training for a year, you have been training for a month, and beating me twice last time doesn't mean anything. As long as I get serious, there is a gap between us, and you can't win in a fight."

Lin Zhiyuan's expression was extremely sincere.

Li Yan also replied sincerely: "Brother, I also tell you sincerely that I am a genius. The strength of a genius is unfathomable. You don't have to agree to fight me."

"Damn it!" Lin Zhiyuan screamed, "You are addicted to pretending, kid. Fight, fight, fight, what's wrong with fighting? Who is afraid of who?"

Li Yan patted Lin Zhiyuan on the shoulder, feeling a little guilty.

My good brother, if I wasn't so short of start-up capital, I would never resort to this desperate measure. I have told you everything I should have said. I have done my best. I will definitely pay back what I owe you today!
