It still didn't work this time.
Before we knew it, an hour had passed.
Jin Can looked down and realized that she had already done a third of her homework for the day!
She couldn't help but marvel at her own efficiency.
She usually waits until after dinner to start doing her homework properly. She slowly flips through her notebook, dawdles over a couple of questions, leaves some blanks, and skips over any difficult ones.
When it was almost time, I comfortably turned on the animation and immersed myself in the world of anime.
But today is different!
She actually finished so much ahead of schedule!
Moreover, he was in a good state and didn't feel restless or agitated.
For a fleeting moment, she even felt a tiny bit greedy—
Could we perhaps take a little more time to catch up on that older anime series that's recently seen a resurgence in popularity...?
What happened to my previous study plan? Hahahaha
A lone comment floated through her mind, as if mocking her willpower.
Okay, okay!
She also has to memorize vocabulary and tackle math problems.
She doesn't want to be stuck in this lousy school every day taking exams for the rest of her life!
Just then, Ge Ouchen pushed a tutoring book in front of her.
"Here, take this. I've circled a few questions with a pencil. Do them when you have some free time this week, and I'll come to your house to check them over the weekend."
Jin Can took the book and discovered that the last few pages had been torn out.
"No answer, I tore it up and started working seriously."
"Recently, the grade level has been covering electromagnetism, which is a crucial part. The questions we've been working on all involve the motion of charged particles in electromagnetic fields, as well as the motion of conductors cutting magnetic field lines."
"Once you understand the principles, just practice more, and your grades will naturally improve."
"Be patient, don't leave a question blank just because it's complicated."
"Don't watch cartoons until the weekend. If you can resist, I'll buy you some millet."
Jin Can looked up and saw his serious expression. He was speaking as if he were coaxing a child, but it turned out he just wanted her to do a few more questions. She couldn't help but laugh.
"You really... I'm going to cry, Dog Bro!" She exaggeratedly made a tearful expression.
"Don't let me lose to this woman," Ge Ouchen added casually.
"Ugh, you... you're such a dog." Jin Can immediately suppressed his emotion and rolled his eyes.
Chao Ningning had just finished looking at her homework and interjected, "Jin Can, you've already corrected all these wrong questions. I suggest you try doing them again each day under timed conditions, without looking at the answers, for three days."
She paused for a moment, then analyzed, "Actually, your math teacher is quite responsible. He only checks off a portion of the problems in the workbook each day, so the amount of homework is not much. It all revolves around the knowledge points taught in class, and he also covers some of the content from the previous two days. The assignments are very scientific and conform to the laws of memory."
Ge Ouchen raised an eyebrow: "You've got some skill."
Chao Ningning smiled and continued, "But... why did you skip some calculations when you were just a few steps away? There aren't many homework questions left."
Jin Can felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head, unsure how to respond to this new classmate he had just met.
"Rushing to watch cartoons?" Chao Ningning asked with a half-smile.
"The kind where you save the world with superpowers? I am a superpowered person in front of you, but the world doesn't often end, and we don't save the world every day."
For a moment, Lin Xiaoxiao, Jin Can, and Ge Ouchen all looked at her, unsure of how to respond.
Ge Ouchen sighed and shook his head: "I overestimated you... you're a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer."
"Haha, I... I also want superpowers! That way I won't have to worry about my grades in exams!" Lin Xiaoxiao quickly tried to smooth things over when she noticed the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"I could use superpowers to finish my homework in a flash, that would be so great!" Jin Can couldn't help but dream about it.
Chao Ningning muttered something under her breath, her eyes darkening slightly: "It's not that convenient."
——
After 5:30, Lin Xiaoxiao said goodbye to them and went to the cafeteria for dinner to prepare for evening self-study.
Jin Can and Chao Ningning accompanied Ge Ouchen to the bike shed to push the bike.
"Sigh, I wonder if the math test is on Friday or next Monday. I hope it's next Monday," Jin Can sighed.
"Don't even think about it, it's definitely Friday. The math teacher will be working overtime grading papers on the weekend," Ge Ouchen analyzed seriously.
"Sigh, she's so stubborn..." Jin Can gave up his fantasy and began to accept reality.
"But seriously, it's great that the teachers in good schools don't put pressure on you and are very responsible." Chao Ningning seemed to think of something, and her expression suddenly became a little disappointed.
Jin Can noticed that something was wrong with her expression, but he didn't know whether he should ask her.
After all, she was just a new student who transferred here today.
The three arrived at the school gate, and Chao Ningning suddenly leaned closer and whispered in her ear:
"You should know that I'm not lying when I talk about superpowers."
"If you pass your math test this Friday, I'll show you, it's actually pretty cool!"
"I have superpowers, but I can't save the world. You may not have them, but you can. I believe in you."
Jin Can stood there, stunned, staring at her in disbelief.
My mind was flooded with comments, but they were all irrelevant and didn't contain a single useful spoiler.
She wanted to ask Chao Ningning about the system, the bullet comments, and the "infinite flow" that the system mentioned, but she couldn't speak because Ge Ouchen was there.
Chao Ningning just smiled slyly, patted her shoulder hard, and then left in the opposite direction.
"It seems these three people know more than I do," Jin Can thought to himself.
"What are you thinking about? What did she say to you?" Ge Ouchen asked.
"It's nothing." She decided to keep it to herself for the time being.
Ge Ouchen casually ruffled her hair and then reached out to flick the tip of her nose: "Your hairstyle looks like a boy's. We students can't use hair wax to style our hair, it's really tacky."
"Dog! Bro!" Jin Can screamed, pretending to hit him, instantly attracting the attention of passersby.
A few boys nearby whispered among themselves—
"Is he Ge Ouchen from Class 4 of Grade 11?"
"It seems so. I saw it yesterday, and I'm truly impressed."
"Those guys have been arrogant for so long, this time they finally got their revenge."
"Yeah, the court is first come, first served. What's the point of being tall and strong?"
Upon hearing these words, Jin Can slowly stopped what he was doing.
Well, Dog Bro is actually a pretty good guy, let's give him some face.
"Get in the car, I'm hungry, let's go." Ge Ouchen patted the car seat.
The bicycle slowly drove out of the campus, the wind whistling past her ears, making her heart feel soft and warm.
“I’m telling you, Gu Zi, I want that sports guy, you know, that man!” she shouted at his back.
Ge Ouchen didn't turn around, but just gave an OK sign. His shoulders trembled slightly, whether from smiling or from the bumpy road, it was hard to tell.
For the next few days, Jin Can really didn't watch any more anime.
She did her homework methodically, did math problems, memorized vocabulary, and completed several physics problems from Ge Ouchen Circle every day, not going to sleep until she finished them.
The system occasionally beeped with notification sounds, and comments would occasionally pop up, but Jin Can remained completely detached, as if she were a two-dimensional character activating some kind of skill. Her learning state was so good that even she herself found it novel.
Friday morning arrived quickly, and she ran into Ge Ouchen at the entrance of the residential compound.
Are you confident about today's math test?
"I can do it! I feel full of confidence!"
However, things didn't go as planned—
This test wasn't difficult; there were no questions beyond the syllabus, and some were even just variations of homework with different numbers.
For top students, getting a perfect score is probably a piece of cake.
Jin Can has been training this part of the knowledge points in the past few days according to Chao Ningning's plan. Although he feels that his speed in solving problems has indeed increased a lot and his grades will definitely improve, he is still far from being in the top ten of the grade.
After handing in her paper after class, she slumped onto her desk, burying her face in her arms, tears slowly seeping out.
She cried herself to sleep until she was exhausted.
It seemed like only a short while before her mother's voice woke her up.
"Did you oversleep? You're going to be late."
Jin Can blinked in confusion until she saw her mother's expression, which was both distressed and encouraging:
"It's Friday today, hang in there for one more day, keep going!"
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
Jin Can tapped on the system interface, tentatively inquiring about the situation of the test.
[Good morning, host! Your analysis is correct. You still need to pass this test with a perfect score. Please don't be discouraged!]
[In subsequent cycles, the exam difficulty will remain the same, but the questions will change. Please take note!]
She sighed and found that her schoolbag was still exactly as it had been packed last Thursday.
Jin Can casually added the extra math problems he had practiced over the past few days to the book, thinking he wanted to add an extra layer of insurance for himself.
Her mother made her breakfast that day, which was potstickers again, crispy and fragrant, served with a cup of sweet soy milk, and even the bowls, plates and cups had the same pattern.
It smells delicious! But let's eat first.
Jin Can glanced at the time, then quickly finished his breakfast in a few bites.
Surprisingly, the female lead accepted this premise quite calmly.
Jin Can stared at that comment and couldn't help but scream in his heart: What else can I do?
With her backpack on, she ran into Ge Ouchen again at the entrance of the residential area.
Are you confident about today's math test?
A line so familiar it couldn't be more so, but this time, she didn't dare to boastfully say "I'm confident."
Seeing that she didn't react, Ge Ouchen patted the back seat, signaling her to get in.
"Hurry up, get on the bus, we're late."
"The first period is math class, and we can flip through the pages again before morning exercises."
"Is studying by rote useful for math exams?"
"Memorize the problem-solving approach; it's the same."
These words gave her a bit of inspiration.
Along the way, she began to recall the key points of the previous test—this time it was about spatial vectors and solid geometry.
Upon arriving at school, she immediately took out the practice book she had prepared, found the corresponding question types, and worked through them repeatedly, trying to make a deeper impression.
At this moment, the "science popularizer" comments appeared again—
[For this type of question, careful reading of the question is crucial. You need to understand what geometric properties are given in the question, and what the known, given, and unknown factors are; this will make your thought process much clearer.]
[Here, we can consider using a function approach, keeping in mind the idea of "combining numbers and shapes"...]
Jin Can felt like her mind had been cleared up a bit, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Thank you, science popularizer~"
Chao Ningning walked over, intending to strike up a conversation, but seeing that she was engrossed in doing her homework, she didn't disturb her and went about her own business.
Shi Yanxi came in carrying her schoolbag. As she passed by her, she sighed softly, said nothing, put down her bag, and walked straight toward Ge Ouchen in the last row.
Jin Can wasn't distracted; she was too busy right now.
But she still had some doubts: the plot was a bit strange. The female contestants weren't really competing. Instead, they were all taking turns urging her to study.
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly turned around, her eyes cold and indifferent, with a hint of having seen through everything.
She simply said one sentence:
"You still can't do it this time."
Jin Can froze, his hand gripping the pen tightening involuntarily, the pen tip drawing a thin line on the paper.
