Late Spring, Early Summer.
The weather had begun to turn stiflingly hot.
In the classroom of Class 36 at Lingzhou City First High School, a middle-aged man with glasses stood holding the results of the third district-wide mock exam.
This mock exam was of paramount importance—it could practically determine the outcome of the upcoming college entrance examination in twenty days!
The students sat with tense expressions, anxiously watching their teacher.
"Chu Ruoxi, total score: 710, ranked first in the entire school!"
"Wow!"
A wave of astonished admiration rippled through the room.
"Zhang Sanfeng, total score: 673... Liu Yihang..."
"Jiang Fan, 300 points, ranked last in the entire school!"
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's score, the entire class burst into laughter, and many began whispering amongst themselves.
"Jiang Fan is probably the hardest-working in our class, yet every time he's at the very bottom. Even our class's 'King of Naps' scores higher than him—what a waste of a brain!"
"Yeah! A total score of 750, and he scores only 300. How could a school like ours, a key high school, be embarrassed like this?"
"..."
Hearing the murmurs of ridicule, the teacher on the podium shook his head in resignation. However, Jiang Fan's lips curled into a faint smile, and a voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding: The tester has completed the eighth 'score control' exam. Completing the final test will activate the technology system. Failure will result in the system's disappearance."
Yes, Jiang Fan was a reborn soul, reincarnated into a parallel world, back to when he was a 17-year-old second-year high school student!
Along with his rebirth came a dormant technology system in his mind.
In his past life, Jiang Fan had been a researcher. From the system's description, he learned that the system contained scientific knowledge spanning 500 years of advancements from his planet.
As a researcher, he knew exactly what acquiring this knowledge would mean.
But to access the system, he had to complete a test given by the system.
The task seemed simple at first glance, but it was extraordinarily demanding!
The task was to score exactly 300 points on nine consecutive exams during his high school years to activate the system.
Many of his classmates might think, "Scoring 300 points isn't hard, is it?"
Exceeding 300 points would be easy, but scoring exactly 300—neither more nor less—on nine consecutive exams was no simple feat. If any test resulted in a score not exactly 300, the whole count would reset.
As a science whiz in his past life, Jiang Fan initially thought this would be easy. However, he soon realized how wrong he was.
At first, his scores would always deviate by one or two points, either above or below 300.
It wasn't until after days and nights of rigorous studying and reviewing every high school topic that he managed to stabilize his score at exactly 300 points.
Now, having completed eight tests with a score of 300, only one more exam remained before he could activate the system.
With just twenty days left before the college entrance exam, and with one more test standing between him and the system, Jiang Fan felt a surge of excitement.
