"Yaoyao Sister, don't stop me. I finally got a chance to mock him; how can I just let it go?"
Yu Wan'er pushed Ye Mengyao's hand away, placed both hands on her slender waist, and smirked with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"You don't know, do you? A new student transferred to our school last month, and this time, they scored a perfect 750 in the mock exam. Do you understand what a perfect score means?"
"You scored 742 because that's all you could manage. They scored 750 because that's the maximum. The gap between you two is not just a little, you know~"
As a proud and cheeky little devil, Yu Wan'er loved seeing Jiang Che flustered.
Even after living at Jiang Che's house for several months and using up several tubes of ointment for her wounds, she still couldn't shake off her mischievous personality, much to Jiang Che's frustration.
Of course, Jiang Che wasn't paying attention to Yu Wan'er at the moment. Although the little loli was indeed annoying, she tended to back down quickly.
Right now, he was more interested in the person who scored a perfect 750!
Even with his cheat-like "all-subject knowledge and skills," it was nearly impossible to achieve a perfect score. After all, no matter how good you are, the Chinese reading comprehension section would always deduct a few points, right?
Qin Qiaoqiao took over the conversation, not letting Yu Wan'er continue.
After all, Jiang Che had his pride, and Wan'er was practically poking the tiger. Her petite frame couldn't handle the consequences!
"Jiang Che, the one who scored a perfect 750 is a female student named Shen Yu. She became an instant sensation upon transferring to our school and even represented Dragon Country in the IMO last month, winning a gold medal."
Yu Wan'er interjected, "Do you even know what the IMO is? The International Mathematical Olympiad. Do you understand the prestige of a gold medal? I bet you don't even know what the IMO is, do you?"
Jiang Che glanced sideways at Yu Wan'er. If he didn't discipline this little loli for three days, she would start riding on his head. Tonight, he would make sure she knew who the real master of the house was!
"So, Shen Yu is a girl?"
Jiang Che stroked his chin, deep in thought. He had initially assumed this was a protagonist blessed by fate, but now it seemed... it was a heroine instead?
As soon as he said this, the expressions of Ye Mengyao, Yu Wan'er, and Qin Qiaoqiao froze.
Oh no!
They knew all too well how shameless this guy could be.
Jiang Che rarely showed up at school, sometimes not even once a month, so he had no idea about Shen Yu's existence. After transferring, she quickly rose to become one of Shilan School's top beauties due to her stunning looks.
However, her aloof personality earned her the title of the most unapproachable school belle.
"Jiang... Jiang Che, you're not thinking of pursuing her, are you?"
"Then you're destined to fail~"
The little loli teased with a laugh.
But suddenly, there was a commotion at the school gate.
Yu Wan'er tilted her chin, "Look, there she is. Isn't she beautiful? Her reputation at Shilan School is only slightly below Yaoyao Sister's."
Jiang Che looked up.
Sure enough, he saw a solitary figure wearing the Shilan School uniform, sporting a pair of half-rimmed glasses and carrying a small backpack. Her plain appearance and even her back exuded an intense sense of detachment.
The aura of distance Shen Yu emitted was completely different from other women!
Jiang Che had seen many seemingly cold women before.
The aloof policewoman Wang Yanran, the genius beauty Chen Ningshuang, and the stunning CEOs Gu Lingfei and Leng Ningqiu.
They were all cold, but Shen Yu's aloofness was on another level. It was a detachment from the world, as if nothing could ever catch her attention.
[Ding! Detected a heroine of fate.]
[Shen Yu]
[A solitary girl bound to the Academic God System. Orphaned, with a car and a house.]
[Personality: Cold, detached, highly rational, and extremely intelligent.]
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, studying this heroine of fate, before leading the girls to the car.
...
"Jiang Che, are you interested in Shen Yu?"
Qin Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"Everyone appreciates beauty."
Jiang Che wrapped an arm around Qin Qiaoqiao's waist and planted a light kiss on her cheek.
"But compared to Shen Yu, I still prefer you."
Jiang Che's words made Qin Qiaoqiao blush and lower her head. The sweet, naive girl was just like when they first met.
"Qiaoqiao Sister, don't believe this pervert. He's a total playboy, falling for anyone he sees."
"When we're not around, he'll probably tell Shen Yu, 'You're the most unique girl to me.'"
"Ugh, disgusting!"
Yu Wan'er stuck out her tongue at Jiang Che.
Jiang Che didn't get angry. Yu Wan'er was spot-on~
[I don't want to go home. I want to stay at school (sighing with my chin in my hand).]
Unintentionally, Jiang Che caught Ye Mengyao's inner thoughts and turned his gaze toward her. He realized he had been neglecting this young lady recently.
"Yaoyao, you seem a bit down?"
Jiang Che's question made Ye Mengyao look up in surprise.
She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "N-no, I'm fine."
But her inner thoughts betrayed her.
[I feel so bad. Only at school can I openly be his girlfriend. At home, I have no status (sigh).]
[What should I do? I need some advice~]
Jiang Che sighed inwardly. The young lady was jealous, huh?
This was the downside of having too many girls around. Jealousy was inevitable. If it weren't for Jiang Che's "Harem King" title keeping things in check, chaos would have erupted long ago.
He might have ended up like *that guy* from *that story*.
Jiang Che leaned in close to Ye Mengyao's ear and whispered, "Skip class in a couple of days, and we'll sneak out for a date."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Ye Mengyao's eyes.
The teachings of *that guy* from *that anime* were true. To keep girls from getting jealous, you had to give them special treatment once in a while.
Jiang Che's previous approach of treating everyone equally was too careless.
As he pondered this, Jiang Che's thoughts drifted back to the heroine of fate he had just encountered—Shen Yu.
Cold, detached, highly rational, and extremely intelligent. In his past life, Jiang Che had met girls like her. They rarely fell in love, their rationality was terrifying.
But the more challenging something was, the more it piqued Jiang Che's interest.
...
"Achoo!"
Shen Yu, who had already returned home, sneezed inexplicably.
But her expression remained as calm as ever. She sat quietly at her desk, holding a tablet, studying something.
[Ding! Host has learned Fourier Series. Academic Points +10.]
[Ding! Host has learned Complex Functions. Academic Points +50.]
From noon until evening, when the clock struck six, she stood up from her desk, prepared a simple meal, and ate.
Then, at seven, she resumed her studies.
Her life had always been this routine, and her social circle was incredibly small. No one had ever intruded into it.
For most people, obtaining an Academic God System would be a rags-to-riches story, turning a loser into a genius.
But Shen Yu was different. She was already a genius. The Academic God System simply elevated her abilities and intelligence to a godlike level, transforming her from a genius into an academic deity!
