Li Chengqian didn’t pay attention to Jian Qingli’s reaction at all, nor did he care much.
Jian Qingli was his crush in high school in his previous life, but not Li Chengqian’s current crush.
He reminded Jian Qingli only because her future was too tragic. As a classmate and neighbor, he couldn’t bear to see her suffer. He didn’t have any agenda about Jian Qingli.
This was the last lesson in the afternoon. After the class ended, most of the students went out to eat.
When Bi Jialiang appeared at the classroom door, Jian Qingli quickly walked out.
In the entire classroom, only Li Chengqian didn’t move because his attention was already attracted by the notification of the All-Class Master game in front of him.
A line of text appeared on the translucent page that only he could see.
[You have listened to the class for 50 minutes. You have received 500 Experience Bars. You have 543 Experience Bars left in the Experience Pool.]
“543 Experience Bars... It’s enough for me to level up again.” The smile on Li Chenggqian’s face became more and more intense. The pleasure of leveling up was irresistible.
Every time a Student Class level increased, the intelligence level would increase. One would feel that he could become smarter. This feeling of constantly becoming smarter was addictive.
Apart from the increase in intelligence, when a Student Class level was below Level 10, one could obtain a skill with every two levels.
The skill obtained at Student Class Level 5 was Middle School knowledge!
After obtaining Middle School Knowledge, his knowledge would increase greatly. With Middle School Knowledge Skills to complete his basics, his results would also improve again.
“Open the personal interface!”
Name: Li Chengqian
Intelligence: 14 (Average adult is 10 points)
Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points)
Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points)
Class: Student Level 4 (0/50)
Skill:
1. Focus (Novice 0/1) ?
2. Elementary School Knowledge (Perfection)
Experience Bar: 5
After opening his personal interface, Li Chengqian began to increase his Student Class level without any hesitation.
[50 Experience Bars consumed. Student Class increased to Level (0/80). 493 Experience Bars remaining.]
[Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 15 points.]
[You have obtained Skill: Middle School Knowledge (Competent 0/50).]
When the student’s Class was upgraded to Level 3, the Elementary School Knowledge level obtained was directly upgraded to Master after the skill appeared.
The proficiency of Middle School Knowledge skill wasn’t that high. It was only at the Competent level, and it seemed to have just recently attained this level.
This meant that Li Chengqian’s grasp of Middle School Knowledge was extremely poor.
“I didn’t expect my foundation in Middle School to be so bad! No wonder I couldn’t cope with my studies after I entered High School, and my results became even worse.” Studying was like building a wall. The stronger the foundation, the easier it was to go up. If the foundation was not firm, the wall would collapse.
After he had obtained Elementary School Knowledge Skill, with the help of the All-Class Master game, he immediately recalled most of his Elementary School Knowledge.
Now that he had obtained Middle School Knowledge Skill, even with the help of the All-Class Game Master, he could only recall a very small amount of Middle School Knowledge.
What appeared in his memory was a list of Middle School subject schedules, as well as the syllabus of each subject. Li Chengqian basically couldn’t remember what the more specific things were.
Li Chengqian glanced at the values in the Experience Pool and began to increase the skill level of his Middle School Knowledge.
[50 Experience Bars consumed. Skills: Middle School (Master 0/100). 443 Experience Bars remaining.]
[100 Experience Bars consumed. Skills: Middle School Knowledge (Perfection 0/250). 343 Experience Bars remaining.]
[150 Experience Bars consumed. Elementary School Knowledge Skill (Perfection). 34 Experience Bars remaining.]
After Li Chengqian upgraded his Middle School Knowledge Skill to Master level, a huge amount of information surged into Li Chengqian’s memory.
Middle School Civics and Moral Education, Law, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Languages, Mathematics, Foreign Languages, Sports, Health, Music, Art, Calligraphy, Basic Computing, Logic...
The contents of all the courses appeared verbatim in Li Chengqian’s memory, and he instantly mastered them.
In an instant,
Li Chengqian mastered reading and writing in ancient and modern languages, as well as more than 5,000 new Chinese characters, more than 40, 000 words, and idioms.
In Mathematics, he had thoroughly mastered equations, functions, and geometry.
For English, his vocabulary had increased by 3,500, and he had mastered all 387 grammar points. Listening and writing had improved in all aspects. There were no shortcomings or omissions.
With the help of the All-Class Master game, English was like his mother tongue, deeply implanted in his soul.
Now, even if Li Chengqian was sent overseas, whether it was to live, study, or work, there would be no barriers in communication.
After spending a full five minutes, Li Chengqian completely absorbed this enormous amount of knowledge.
It was no exaggeration to say that he felt that his knowledge had increased tenfold from the previous foundation.
Compared to when he absorbed Elementary School knowledge, he was now miles ahead.
Li Chengqian had a smile on his face as he looked at the remaining 93 Experience Bars. “I’ll increase the level of the Focus Skill first. Focusing Skill is the magic wand for learning.”
Although the All-Class Master game was amazing, it had shortcomings too.
...
One had to advance step by step from Elementary School, Middle School, High School, University... one had to progress level by level, and all of them were basic subjects.
If Li Chengqian wanted to learn something other than these basic subjects,
One way was to change occupations!
The other method was self-study.
The purpose of Focus Skills was precisely for self-study.
“Increase the level of the Focus Skill proficiency!” Li Chengqian placed his attention on Skill Focus.
[1 Experience Bar consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Competent 0/10). 83 Experience Bars remaining.]
[10 Experience Bars consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Proficient 0/20). 73 Experience Bars remaining.]
[20 Experience Bars consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Expert 0/50). 53 Experience Bars remaining.]
[10 Experience Bars consumed. Skill Concentration increased to (Master 0/20). 73 Experience Bars remaining.]
[Focus (Master): In a focused state, your memory and comprehension ability will increase by ten times. You will obtain the ability to speed reading ten lines at a glance and a photographic memory. You will instantly be able to master a large amount of information. Skill Duration: 60 minutes (Currently, you can still use it for another 50 minutes). Cooldown: 24 hours.]
...
After the Focus Skill was upgraded to Master level, the duration increased from 10 minutes to 1 hour.
The description of memory and comprehension ability enhancement had also increased tenfold.
He also added the description of ‘instantly mastering a large amount of information’.
The meaning of mastery was complete understanding and agile ability to adapt the knowledge.
He had already made a huge leap in Focus Skill.
After his proficiency reached Master level, he still had 50 minutes of Focus Skill time to use for the day, but Li Chengqian did not use it immediately.
With the power of Focus Skill, 50 minutes was enough to attain entry level proficiency for a difficult subject.
The subjects needed for the college entrance examination could be obtained by leveling up. It was too wasteful to use the Focus Skill on this.
“I’ll go to the library to take a look at the computer hardware section later and books on assembly language. I’ll try to see if my Focus Skill can digest this very difficult knowledge in an extremely short period of time.”
“I’ll go eat first, I’m starving.” When Li Chengqian came back to his senses, he felt an intense hunger attack and hurriedly walked towards the canteen.
