Start as a top student after transmigrating.

Class 3.

Yang Xuesen did not post the report cards. Instead, he walked in before the first class started, carrying the report cards and a stack of math test papers, with an undisguised smile on his face.

"Look, Old Yang's mouth is practically agape."

"It seems we did well on the test this time. Old Yang is very satisfied."

"I hope I won't get scolded at the parent-teacher conference, and that I can have a good New Year this year."

The students below were secretly speculating, and they all felt inexplicably pleased.

"To start with the results, our class's overall performance in this mock exam was not ideal, but our average score ranked 5th out of 26 classes, a full 8 places higher than last time."

Yang Xuesen couldn't hide his smile as he glanced at Chen Dong in the back corner. This time, the improvement in average score could be attributed entirely to Chen Dong's efforts, and he had even won the highest honor.

What does it mean to have made so much progress even when things aren't ideal?

"Did all the other classes do poorly on the exam?"

Many students were whispering to each other.

"Distribute the math exam first, and announce the rankings at the same time."

As the school bell rang, Yang Xuesen began distributing the test papers.

"Zhang Yan, Math score 27, total score 197, class ranking 57, grade ranking 1326, city ranking..."

"Li Shuo, 31 points in math, total score 199, class ranking 56, grade ranking 1317, city ranking..."

Yang Xuesen announced the scores from lowest to highest, including math scores and total scores, followed by class, grade, and city-wide rankings.

The students whose names were called went up to collect their exam papers, and unsurprisingly, they were severely criticized by Yang Xuesen.

"Liu Yumo, Math score 57, total score 288, class ranking 43, grade ranking 996..."

Yes!

Liu Yumo excitedly clenched his fist and went back into the house when he heard his name called. Finally, he wasn't at the bottom of the list anymore.

"I want to commend Liu Yumo. Although his score didn't improve much, his overall progress is very obvious. If the exam were of the same difficulty level as before, he could have scored at least 300 points."

"Even so, I believe that as long as Liu Yumo continues to work hard, he will definitely be able to break through 300 points, even with the difficulty of the mock exam."

Let's give a round of applause to Liu Yumo.

Yang Xuesen led the applause, and the whole class burst into enthusiastic applause. Liu Yumo stood up, nodded and smiled to the left and right, looking smug.

"Awesome, Mo Ge."

"They actually managed to escape the bottom ranks this time, making such a big improvement all at once."

"Brother Mo, tell me quickly, whose work did you copy?"

The experts in the back row were making jokes, seemingly lighthearted but actually unable to hide their envy.

Zhang Yan, in particular, had a bitter expression on her face. This plot wasn't right. When Dong Ge was absent from the exam, wasn't Mo Ge the well-deserved last place?

How did it become him now?

wrong.

Where is Dong Ge?

Old Yang was clearly reading the grades from lowest to highest, but I haven't heard Dong Ge's name yet. Could it be that his progress is even more terrifying than Liu Yumo's?

Or rather, the person went there but didn't do the questions, just went to sleep and got zeros on all the tests, so Old Yang was too lazy to read them anymore.

As Lao Yang continued to announce the results, more and more students were surprised to find that Chen Dong had not yet been called on. Could it be that Chen Dong had made terrifying progress?

However, as Lao Yang read out the top ten scores, this speculation disappeared. Even if it was terrifying, it was impossible for someone to go from last place to the top ten in the class.

"Brother Dong, you're really loyal; you didn't abandon us." Li Shuo gave Chen Dong a thumbs up.

"With Brother Dong backing me up, I won't be beaten to death after the parent-teacher conference." Zhang Yan even clasped her hands together, extremely grateful to Chen Dong for "saving her life."

Chen Dong simply smiled calmly.

He is aware of his achievements.

"Ye Wanwan scored 141 in math, 668 in total, second in her class, third in her grade, and 73rd in the city."

clap~

As Yang Xuesen read out Ye Wanwan's grades, the whole class burst into enthusiastic applause once again. Regardless of her usual performance, Ye Wanwan deserved everyone's applause for her exam results.

In academics, she is undoubtedly a top student and the proudest senior in Class 3.

"Wait, did I hear that right? Ye Wanwan is second in the class?"

"Oh right, Ye Wanwan is only second in the class, so who's first?"

"What number is He Jia? And Hu Songlin?"

"They were right behind Ye Wanwan in line, it seemed like all the class grades had already been read out."

"No, Dong-ge's grades haven't been read yet."

In an instant, all eyes in the class turned to Chen Dong.

"Brother Dong, could it be you?"

After receiving the math test paper, Liu Yumo started showing off his score and then wanted to see Chen Dong's score, but he didn't hear it until the very end.

Originally, he and his classmates thought that Dong Ge couldn't possibly be in the top ten.

Not to mention first place.

But what about Dong Ge's grades?

In the front row, Ye Wanwan gripped a pen tightly in one hand and a textbook in the other, her fingertips turning white from the force, revealing her tension and anticipation.

She was certainly concerned about Chen Dong's grades, but she hadn't heard his ranking yet, and the closer she got to the end, the more nervous she became. At this moment, her heart felt like it was in her throat.

Excitement, disbelief, and worry were all mixed together. He hoped that Dong Ge would get that ranking, but he was also afraid that it wouldn't, otherwise Dong Ge's results would be unpredictable.

"You're right."

On the podium, Yang Xuesen picked up the last math test paper, his smile indescribably radiant. "Chen Dong, perfect score in math, perfect score in English, 132 in Chinese, 269 in science, with a total score of 701, you've won first place in the class, first place in the grade, and first place in the city."

Silence, deathly stillness.

There was no enthusiastic applause, no excited words, only an eerie silence. Everyone stared at Chen Dong in disbelief, dumbfounded as if they were statues.

Finally, Liu Yumo jumped up in surprise and shouted "Holy crap!" breaking the silence.

"Holy crap, 701? Number one in the city?"

"Is this Dong Ge (Liu Qiangdong)?"

"Dong-ge has been sleeping a lot lately, how could he be so energetic?"

"You can't possibly get first place in the whole city by copying."

"Could something dirty have appeared?"

The whole class was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. Each of them seemed to have their Dao heart shattered and could not accept this situation at all, unless there was something dirty inside.

He was ranked last in his class and hadn't been to school much this semester. He did come recently, but he mostly slept in. Yet, he still managed to get the highest score in the city.

How are they supposed to accept this?

"I completely understand how you feel right now, but I can tell you with certainty that Chen Dong's results are genuine and valid, and there was no fraud."

Yang Xuesen was not surprised at all by his classmates' reactions, knowing that the reactions in the office were even more terrifying, which made him feel more comfortable than ever before.

"Alright, for this test explanation, I'll have Chen Dong stand in for me. Let's give him a round of applause!" Yang Xuesen walked down from the podium and led the applause.

Chen Dong smiled to himself.

He knew that Yang Xuesen was asking him to prove himself, to put his abilities to the test, and then all doubts would cease.

He was happy to do so.

The fact that he ranked first in the city was somewhat unexpected, but even according to the original estimate, a score of around 700 would have been enough to shock everyone. This kind of scene was expected.

He walked up to the podium, took the math test paper, and casually picked up the chalk.

"The first multiple-choice question is about monotonically increasing functions. We'll use differentiation..."

With a few quick strokes, Chen Dong wrote "differentiation" on the blackboard, then performed a simple calculation and successfully obtained the correct answer, leaving all the students below stunned.

Wow, Dong-ge is really good at this.

"You filthy thing, get off my brother Dong! I'm tough and resilient, get on me!"

"Lord Laozi, by your urgent command, possess my body!"

Everyone was stunned. The guys in the back row were jumping around excitedly, wanting to experience this feeling. They could accept anything, no matter how dirty it was.

"Oh no, this is going to kill people!"

Zhang Yan slammed her head on the table with a thud, feeling as if the world was spinning and the end of the world was about to arrive.

Being last place isn't a big deal, that's just how his grades are anyway. But the former second-to-last improved by more than ten places, and the former last place became the first in the city.

Given this comparison, it's no wonder he got beaten to death.

……

Throughout the entire class, Chen Dong fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher perfectly. His explanations were very clear and simple, and he was able to answer students' questions with ease.

"Alright, get out of class dismissed. We'll discuss the remaining questions next time. Chen Dong, come to my office." Yang Xuesen announced the end of get out of class only after the bell rang.

crackling sounds~

This time, without Lao Yang leading the way, the whole class erupted in the most enthusiastic applause.

"Ye Wanwan, I heard you've been tutoring Dong Ge lately. How did you manage to transform him into the top student in the city?"

He Jia, Hu Songlin, and the other top five students from their class surrounded Ye Wanwan, wanting to ask her for advice, and ideally, to get some tutoring from her as well.

They want to be number one in the city.

"I, I didn't tutor him at all, Dong-ge is just amazing on his own~" Ye Wanwan denied somewhat embarrassedly. She did tutor him, but being ranked first in the city still shocked and hard to believe.

This was definitely not due to her tutoring.

"Brother Mo, are you sure Brother Dong is sleeping on his stomach every morning and not secretly studying under the table?" Zhang Yan, Li Shuo, and the other underachievers surrounded Liu Yumo.

Each face was filled with bitterness, their Daoist hearts shattered.

Liu Yumo nodded mechanically, "I'm absolutely sure... Dong-ge was really sleeping this morning."

"So, can Dong Ge still take first place in the city?"

"You're asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?"

"How many points did Dong-ge get on his last test?"

"I don't even know when Dong Ge last took the test. Anyway, he didn't take it in his senior year of high school. It must have been in his junior year. He probably only got around 100 points."

"Holy crap, there's definitely something dirty in this!"

……

office.

When Yang Xuesen brought Chen Dong in, several teachers in the office jumped up, their faces full of fawning smiles as they greeted Chen Dong.

Biology teacher: "Chen Dong, come, come, sit here."

Chemistry teacher: "Are you thirsty? I have some honey water here, or if you want anything else to drink, I'll go buy it for you."

Guo Rong: "Teacher, we have fruit here, big and sweet."

Zhou Houdong: "Are you tired from studying? I have a massager here. Come sit here and relax."

Shuai Chaorong: "Brother Dong, wanna smoke?"

Chen Dong looked at them strangely.

He used to be a top student and enjoyed the teachers' favoritism, but it wasn't to this extent that a teacher would ask him to light a cigarette for him in the office.

That was truly a memorable scene.

Are you kidding me?
