chapter Five

Yang Zhuo didn't listen attentively in class all day. Instead, he read through his high school English textbook twice more, starting from the first year of high school. Even after evening self-study, he studied for another two hours after school.

When you're focused on something, time flies by. Yang Zhuo was like that; before he knew it, the day was over. To avoid disturbing his parents' sleep, he quietly went downstairs, took a shower, and then quickly turned off the lights and went to bed.

Today's events left him feeling somewhat surreal. He wanted to chat with the AI, but it only answered questions about the system, generally ignoring other inquiries. This AI didn't seem particularly intelligent; it simply followed the system's programmed instructions, unlike the human-like wisdom Yang Zhuo had imagined.

Reading is a mentally taxing activity, and Yang Zhuo drifted off to sleep after lying down.

In his dream, he dreamed that he got into the best university, then started his own company after graduation, eventually married Chen Sihan, and had two adorable children...

Unbeknownst to Yang Zhuo, after he fell asleep, the AI ​​within his body regulated his mental state, putting him into a deep sleep. Sleep is the best way to restore energy, and although the AI ​​emphasized that it wouldn't help Yang Zhuo much, improving his sleep wasn't anything particularly remarkable.

……

With one day left before the fourth diagnostic test, Yang Zhuo was still diligently studying.

"Yang Zi, what's gotten into you lately? Why are you reading so seriously all of a sudden?" his best friend Wang Qiang asked, puzzled.

"What else can we do if we don't study? If we don't work hard now, we won't have the chance to work hard later," Yang Zhuo said helplessly.

Wang Qiang was speechless. This guy never worried about failing to get into university because his father had already asked someone to get him into a prestigious university. Of course, he wouldn't go in through the regular entrance exam, but as an art student. He would then transfer to another major and still get a degree from that university. And the university would be Peking University.

"Yangzi, how about I ask my dad to pull some strings and get you into that university too?" Wang Qiang said, scratching the back of his head.

"No, no need to trouble your old man. It's not like I can't pass the exam. I always hide my true abilities in exams, okay?" Yang Zhuo joked.

Wang Qiang was about to say something when another voice interrupted him.

"Such arrogance, yet he tries to hide his true abilities."

Yang Zhuo didn't even need to look up to know who the voice belonged to.

"Hey, isn't this our class monitor? What's wrong with you today? Did you eat dog poop? Your breath stinks." Wang Qiang said sarcastically to the newcomer.

That's right, the person who came was Luo Hao, the class monitor of Yang Zhuo's class. He was among the top five in the class in terms of academic performance, and it was said that his family was well-off. He was also a suitor of Chen Sihan, the class's academic representative.

Ever since he found out that Yang Zhuo also liked Chen Sihan, this guy has been trying to get Yang Zhuo's attention in front of Chen Sihan. Yang Zhuo isn't the type to stay silent when bullied, so the two of them now have quite a bit of conflict.

Luo Hao ignored Wang Qiang and instead looked at Yang Zhuo, saying, "Yang Zhuo, you said you were hiding your true abilities in the previous exams. Tomorrow is the fourth mock exam, so show us your real strength and inspire the students in the class."

Yang Zhuo looked up at Luo Hao and said with a smile, "Squad Leader Luo, your ears are really sharp. You can hear me and my brother making a few jokes. Your ears are almost as sharp as a dog's."

Luo Hao narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. If this weren't a school, he would have really wanted to find two people to beat up this guy in front of him.

"Yang Zhuo, what are you saying? I just heard you say that you were hiding your true abilities in the previous exams so that we could see your real skills. After all, this is the last mock exam, and we can take advantage of your good performance to motivate our classmates and encourage everyone to study harder. Isn't that a good thing? Or are you just bragging?" Luo Hao said, feeling wronged.

"Luo Hao, stop your nonsense. If you want to cause trouble, just say so. I can spar with you," Wang Qiang said, glaring at him.

"Yang Zhuo, you just said you've been hiding your true abilities. So, do you dare to bet with me whether you can get close to the top ten in the class?" Luo Hao ignored Wang Qiang and looked at Yang Zhuo instead.

"I wonder how you want to bet, Squad Leader Luo?" Yang Zhuo asked with a smile.

"Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare to run naked on the playground. How about this, whoever loses just has to shout 'I'm a puppy' three times in class. What do you think?" Luo Hao looked at Yang Zhuo and sneered.

"Luo Hao, you..."

Wang Qiang was about to say something when Yang Zhuo interrupted him: "As you wish, I'll accept this bet. We'll see who comes out on top after the exam. I hope you won't go back on your word."

Yang Zhuo was well aware of Luo Hao's reasons for targeting him. Both of them liked Chen Sihan, but only one person could be successfully pursued. That's why Luo Hao repeatedly targeted him in order to improve his status in Chen Sihan's heart. However, he didn't realize that such childish behavior would only lower his impression in Chen Sihan's mind.

Not only was it impossible before, but even if it was possible before, it has now become hopeless.

"Hmph, being stubborn doesn't mean you'll do well on the exam. I'll be waiting for your barking then," Luo Hao sneered.

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his seat.

"Yang Zi, why did you make such a bet with this guy? You know your grades. Are you really going to shout it out?" Wang Qiang said worriedly to Yang Zhuo.

"Hehe, as I just said, I was hiding my true abilities in the previous exams. This is the last mock exam before the college entrance exam, and I've decided not to hide my true abilities anymore. Just wait and see if I can get into the top ten," Yang Zhuo said with a smile.

Wang Qiang said in disbelief, "Really? Were you really hiding your true abilities before? But I didn't sense it at all?"

This guy's only impression of Yang Zhuo was that he was just like himself, sleeping in class and playing after class. If he could hide his talents like that, wouldn't he also be able to get into the top ten?

"Get lost. It would be a miracle if you could sense that. Besides, I wouldn't have made such a bet with that bastard if I wasn't confident. Although I'm about to graduate, I don't want to embarrass myself in the last month or so," Yang Zhuo said.

Wang Qiang nodded, thinking it made sense. Who would make such a bet without confidence, unless they were a fool!

But no matter how Wang Qiang looked at it, he didn't see what Yang Zhuo meant by "concealing one's talents".

Is this guy an idiot? This thought popped into Wang Qiang's mind.
