"System, merge 'All Subject Knowledge Points'"
Instantly, a vast amount of knowledge poured into Jiang Che's mind like enlightening rain.
It included over a dozen subjects including Chinese, Math, and English, and he even gained some understanding of computer programming.
This was truly terrifying - he had mastered all current academic knowledge points.
To put it plainly, on a test with a maximum score of 750, Jiang Che could easily score 740.
"System is awesome!"
Usually, Jiang Che's academic performance was at the bottom of the class, ranking dead last, with his total score across all subjects lower than his grandfather's blood pressure. But now he had suddenly taken off!
Actually, as the son of the richest man, whether Jiang Che studied well or not didn't matter much.
In this world, some people are born far from Rome, some are born on Rome's outskirts, and some are born in Rome's center.
And some people... the place was named Rome to commemorate their birth.
Jiang Che didn't need to study hard, but getting something without effort was always delightful.
He knew that although Lin Yu was a country bumpkin who came down from the mountains, his academic performance was exceptionally good. This would be one of his ways to show off.
Don't ask why a country bumpkin who just came down from the mountains and had never received formal education or even touched textbooks could have such excellent grades.
Because that's just how unreasonable being the protagonist with blessed luck is.
Later, Jiang Che casually picked several difficult problems and got the answers with just a glance.
Boring—
He went straight to sleep.
Lin Yu glanced at Jiang Che at this moment, showing a disdainful expression.
He already knew that this Jiang Che was just an ignorant rich second-generation. Apart from being richer and more handsome than himself, he had absolutely no redeeming qualities.
"Heh... dare to humiliate me? You're asking for death!"
In Lin Yu's mind, Jiang Che was already a dead man. As a martial artist with hidden strength, he had plenty of ways to deal with a useless rich kid!
......
When class ended, Lin Yu wanted to go cause trouble for Jiang Che.
But just as he stood up, his face darkened the next second.
"Wow, Jiang Che, how did you become even more handsome?"
"Really?"
A large group of female admirers surrounded Jiang Che, all quite attractive...
Lin Yu's eyes almost shot fire, as flames of jealousy spread wildly in his heart.
Why? He's just a spoiled rich kid... what does he have besides good looks?
He, Lin Yu, was someone with extremely strong personal abilities!
...
When Ye Mengyao saw this scene, for some reason... she felt uncomfortable, like someone had taken away a toy that should have belonged to her.
"Hmph, Sister Mengyao, didn't I tell you this man is a playboy?"
Yu Wan'er stirred things up from the side. Being clever, how could she not see Ye Mengyao's thoughts at this moment?
"Yes, Wan'er, you're right. He is just a playboy."
Ye Mengyao simply turned her head away.
At this moment, a figure walked to her desk.
"Miss Ye Mengyao, let me introduce myself. I'm Lin Yu."
Lin Yu touched his hair, putting on what he thought was a charming expression.
Ye Mengyao glanced at him, "Not interested!"
Lin Yu: "......"
This was awkward, how was this different from what he had imagined?
Could it be because of his posture?
Thinking of this, he changed to what he believed was an even more handsome pose, "Ye Meng..."
"Can you get lost? You're annoying me!"
Ye Mengyao's beautiful eyes frowned. She was already in a bad mood, and she had androphobia.
Her raised voice drew the attention of many in the classroom.
Even Jiang Che looked over with curiosity.
Oh? Isn't this the first meeting between the chosen one and his female lead? How did they end up arguing?
"Did you hear me? I told you to get lost!"
The young lady never gave face to anyone.
"Creak creak~~" Lin Yu's face showed a trace of anger. Besides his master, no one had ever dared to insult him like this!
But soon, his anger dissipated.
After all, she was beautiful, and when beautiful girls get angry, can you really call it anger?
That's called being coquettish!
Then he showed another confident expression, "Trust me, it's fine if you don't want to know me now. Soon my name will be known throughout Shilan School."
What a presumptuous man!
Absolutely presumptuous!
In Ye Mengyao's heart, her impression of Lin Yu dropped to rock bottom - arrogant, ordinary, yet confident.
"Get lost! Idiot!"
To everyone's surprise, Ye Mengyao, this noble flower, actually cursed!
Even Jiang Che was stunned.
"System, what's going on? Shouldn't Ye Mengyao immediately submit to Lin Yu's domineering aura after meeting the chosen one? Shouldn't she fall for him instantly?"
[Respected host, due to your existence as the antagonist, the protagonist's exclusive 'intelligence reduction aura' has become ineffective, so the female leads won't have their intelligence reduced...]
Jiang Che: "......"
Well, well!
I was wondering - so it's because Lin Yu's intelligence reduction aura is gone!
After being embarrassed in front of Ye Mengyao, Lin Yu's spirit became somewhat dejected.
He transferred all his hatred onto Jiang Che!
"Hehe... Jiang Che, right?"
A cold glint flashed through Lin Yu's eyes.
......
The morning passed in an instant.
At lunch break, Ye Mengyao took the initiative to walk up to Jiang Che.
She rarely initiated conversations with Jiang Che, or rather... she rarely talked to boys.
For a moment, she didn't know what topic to bring up.
"Um... are you confident about the mock exam this afternoon?" Ye Mengyao regretted as soon as she spoke.
What kind of stupid conversation starter was this?
She ranked in the school's top ten with excellent grades, while Jiang Che's grades were notoriously poor, with his total score across all subjects lower than her English score alone.
Wasn't this obviously mockery?
"Yes, of course!" Jiang Che replied calmly.
"Hehe... you're confident about ranking last in school, right?" Yu Wan'er started mocking from the side.
Jiang Che glanced at Yu Wan'er who had started bouncing around again, licked his back teeth, with a dangerous look flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yu also stood up.
How could he miss such a good opportunity to show off?
"Hehe... I heard Young Master Jiang's grades are particularly excellent!" Lin Yu applauded, his eyes full of sarcasm.
There were still quite a few people in the classroom at this time, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Jiang Che just shrugged, "Grades don't matter to me. If I don't do well... I'll just have to go home and inherit the hundred-billion fortune."
How pretentious!
Absolutely pretentious!
Although most students at Shilan School came from wealthy families, they were mostly from middle-class backgrounds. Only Jiang Che, as the son of Hangzhou's richest man with hundred-billion assets, was in a league of his own.
"Heh... what do you have besides money?" Lin Yu sneered.
"I'm also very handsome. If I run out of money, I can always become a host club worker. Plenty of rich older ladies would be willing to keep me!" The transmigrated Jiang Che had thick skin.
"Unlike an ugly guy like you, with no money and no looks, nobody would want you even if you tried to sell yourself."
For protagonists like Lin Yu, direct personal attacks were the way to go.
"You—" Lin Yu took three steps in two and rushed to Jiang Che's front, grabbing his collar.
Several of Jiang Che's followers rushed up at this moment.
"Let go of Young Master Jiang!"
"You dare touch Young Master Jiang? Want to bet whether we can make a poor student like you unable to stay in school?"
Obviously, these followers were just there to give Lin Yu experience points.
Lin Yu kicked them away with a few moves.
Jiang Che's lips curled into a smile as he took out his phone from his pocket.
"Hello, officer... you should have heard clearly what was happening on the phone just now, right? There's school violence happening at Shilan School... someone is trying to beat us up, and three of my classmates are now in critical condition."
