Start as a top student after transmigrating.

It was past 10 p.m.

After returning home and washing up, Liu Yumo studied diligently late into the night. Soon after, the door opened, and Liu Hongjun and Liang Xiaoyue returned.

"Dad, Mom, our mock exam results are out." Liu Yumo looked up and smiled as he saw the two of them come in.

Normally, he would never talk about his grades. Liu's parents had long given up hope on his grades and wouldn't ask too much. Instead, if they did ask, they would give him a perfect score, which would only lead to unpleasantness.

It's unnecessary to seek out trouble.

But this time they had some expectations, after all, Liu Yumo had changed during this period, they had all seen him studying hard, and now he was even taking the initiative to speak up.

It seems there's a high probability of success.

The couple exchanged glances, and Liang Xiaoyue finally spoke up, asking, "What score did you get?"

"Total score 288..." Liu Yumo said proudly.

Liu Hongjun's expectant look vanished instantly, replaced by a helpless sigh: "It's still just over two hundred points. You didn't need to tell us this score, just to save everyone from feeling bad."

"Dad, can you let me finish? This is just the total score; you haven't heard my ranking yet," Liu Yumo said angrily.

"So what was your last place this time?" Liu Hongjun asked casually, taking off his coat with little interest.

"Probably in the bottom ten or so."

Ok?

Liu Hongjun paused slightly, and Liang Xiaoyue, who was about to get water to wash up, stopped in her tracks. The two looked at each other from a distance, and then looked at Liu Yumo in surprise and disbelief.

"You? You're in the bottom ten? Are you sure you're not second to last?" Liu Hongjun asked with suspicion.

"Out of 57 students in my class, I ranked 43rd. Out of more than 1300 students in the entire grade, I ranked 996th. My class improved by more than ten students, and my entire grade improved by more than three hundred students." Liu Yumo raised his head slightly, looking proud and smug.

"Class 43!?"

"996 for the whole grade!?"

The couple exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Is this their son? He's made such great progress.

"Yeah, the mock exam was extremely difficult. Looking at the score alone, I didn't improve much, but the improvement in my ranking was very significant. Our homeroom teacher said that if it were the usual difficulty level, I could have scored at least 300 points this time," Liu Yumo explained proudly.

"Are you sure you didn't cheat?" Liu Hongjun still found it hard to believe.

If that's converted to a score of over 300 in normal times, then the improvement is very obvious, and judging from the class and grade rankings, that's indeed the case.

Such a huge improvement is hard to believe.

"What are you talking about? When have you ever seen me cheat?" Liu Yumo sneered disdainfully.

That's true. For someone who's consistently second to last in class, but is actually the worst student, there's no need to cheat.

"Besides, there's a parent-teacher meeting this Saturday afternoon. If you don't believe me, you can ask the homeroom teacher yourself," Liu Yumo added, then started criticizing studying, too lazy to pay attention to the two spoilsports.

"Sure."

Liu Hongjun coughed awkwardly twice, realizing that his earlier doubts had been somewhat disappointing, and then praised, "He's truly my son; he can make progress as long as he's willing to learn."

"I'll attend this parent-teacher conference," Liang Xiaoyue said with a smile.

In the past, neither she nor Liu Hongjun wanted to go to parent-teacher conferences, since Liu Yumo would only get scolded at school if he went, but this time would definitely be different.

It's a rare opportunity to be praised, so I have to go.

"Son, you've made great progress this time. What kind of reward do you want?" Liang Xiaoyue walked over and sat down next to Liu Yumo, generously offering a reward.

"Can I really ask for a reward?" Liu Yumo looked up excitedly.

"When has Mom ever lied to you?" Liang Xiaoyue asked with a smile.

Liu Yumo's lips trembled. Hadn't he lied enough already?

I remember last time it was a mixed doubles match.

"I want an electric scooter." Before hesitating, Liu Yumo offered his reward.

"What do you need the electric scooter for?" Liu Hongjun, who was about to take out his wallet as a reward cash, suddenly stopped and asked.

"I joined a study group, and the top two students in our class are in it, as well as the top students from No. 1 High School. Sometimes I need to go to study, but riding a bicycle is too tiring," Liu Yumo said.

He wanted this job a couple of days ago when I was doing part-time work at Chen Dongjia's supermarket, and now is the perfect opportunity.

He didn't dare to think about streetcars, as the two manufacturers would definitely not agree, but having electric scooters would be much more convenient, at least for going to Dong Ge's or Han Jie's house.

"No problem, we'll agree to anything that helps with your studies," Liu Hongjun said, and Liang Xiaoyue had no objections.

They knew that Liu Yumo was studying with other classmates; otherwise, given his poor grades, it would have been virtually impossible for him to make such progress on his own.

Liu Yumo was extremely excited.

……

At Han Ning'er's house, the four of them didn't go to the bedroom for tutoring, but instead used the dining table as a classroom.

"Chen Dong, how did you solve this problem?"

Jing Shanshan took out her math test paper and asked Chen Dong about the last challenging question. Although she only lost one point, the last step was actually incomplete.

A score of 149 is considered quite lenient by the teacher.

"Did you explain all the wrong questions to them?"

Chen Dong was organizing the outline of Battle Through the Heavens in his notebook. With his current level of achievement, he could easily become a disciple of the master and didn't need any tutoring.

Because Jing Shanshan was there, she usually explained the wrong questions, which was one of the reasons why Chen Dong persuaded Han Ning'er to join the study group.

To save time, he only needed to explain the parts that Jing Shanshan didn't understand.

"We've finished going over the math test, and there's only this last big question left," Jing Shanshan nodded.

"Then let me tell you about it."

Chen Dong took the math test paper. Jing Shanshan's problem-solving approach was correct, and the direction of the last step was also correct, but it was not complete, so she could not calculate the correct answer.

Chen Dong explained it in detail from the beginning, and not only Jing Shanshan could understand it, but Han Ning'er and Ye Wanwan could also comprehend it.

"So that's how it is."

As she finally grasped the solution, Jing Shanshan instantly understood and completely believed in Chen Dong's performance; he was a true formidable opponent.

"Chen Dong, how did you learn English?" After figuring out the math problem, Jing Shanshan asked Chen Dong about English.

She lost the most points this time due to her poor English performance, a total of 21 points, while Chen Dong got a perfect score, which was the direct reason why she lost first place.

"There are no shortcuts to English. A large vocabulary is essential. You must master 3500 commonly used words in high school to handle high-scoring questions like cloze tests and reading comprehension."

"In addition to that, there are 350 difficult words, which must be mastered, otherwise the increased vocabulary will make it difficult. Besides that, there is grammar and sentence structure, with special training for essay writing."

"Of course, you can also listen to English songs or watch English movies to practice your listening skills and improve your language sense."

Chen Dong thought for a moment and then said.

Actually, there aren't many tricks to learning English; the most important thing is to memorize vocabulary.

"What dictionary are you using?" Jing Shanshan asked.

Oxford.

Jing Shanshan nodded and didn't count anything else, then asked, "May I see your other test papers?"

"certainly."

Chen Dong took out test papers for other subjects from his schoolbag.

My Chinese score was poor, and my combined science score was also low, especially in physics.
