"System, integrate 'All-Subject Knowledge Points.'"
In an instant, a vast amount of knowledge poured into Jiang Che's mind like enlightenment flooding his consciousness.
It covered more than a dozen subjects, including Chinese, mathematics, and foreign languages. He even knew a little—just a hundred millionth—about computer programming.
This was terrifying. He had mastered every academic subject that might currently be relevant.
Without exaggeration, on an exam worth 750 points, Jiang Che could score 740 without much trouble.
"System, you're fucking awesome."
Jiang Che's grades had always been at the bottom of the barrel—the absolute last in the class. His total score across all subjects had not even been higher than his grandfather's blood pressure. Now, he was taking off directly!
In truth, as the son of the richest man, whether Jiang Che studied well or poorly did not make much difference.
Some people were born far from Rome; some were born on the outskirts of Rome; and some were born in the very center of Rome.
Then there were others... for whom Rome was named to commemorate their birth.
Jiang Che did not need to study diligently, but things gained without labor were always delightful.
He knew that although Lin Yu was a country bumpkin who had come down from the mountains, his academic performance was exceptionally good. This was also one of his ways of showing off.
Don't ask why a country bumpkin who had just come down from the mountains, who had never even received a proper education or touched a textbook, could have such outstanding grades.
Because Sons of Destiny were simply this unreasonable.
Afterward, Jiang Che casually picked a few difficult problems. With one glance, the answers came to him.
Boring—
He dropped his head and went to sleep.
Lin Yu glanced at Jiang Che at that moment, a look of disdain appearing on his face.
He had already learned that Jiang Che was nothing more than an uneducated rich second-generation heir. Aside from being a little richer and a little more handsome than himself, he had no merits whatsoever.
"Heh... You dared make me lose face? You have already embarked on the path to death!"
In Lin Yu's heart, Jiang Che had already become a dead man. As a dignified Dark Force Martial Artist, he had plenty of ways to deal with a trashy rich second-generation heir!
When class ended, Lin Yu had originally intended to go find trouble with Jiang Che.
But he had only just stood up when his face went dark in the next second.
"Wow, Jiang Che, how did you get even more handsome?"
"Really!"
A whole group of fangirls surrounded Jiang Che, and none of them were bad-looking...
Lin Yu's eyes practically spat fire as the flames of jealousy spread madly through his heart.
Why? He was only a Profligate Young Master... Other than being handsome, what else did he have?
He, Lin Yu, was someone with incredibly strong personal abilities!
When Ye Mengyao saw this scene, she did not know why... but she felt somewhat uncomfortable, as though a toy that should have belonged to her had been snatched away.
"Hmph, Sister Yaoyao, didn't I tell you this man was a fickle flirt?"
Yu Wan'er fanned the flames from the side. How could someone as clever as her fail to see Ye Mengyao's little thoughts at this moment?
"Mhm, Wan'er, you're right. He's a fickle flirt."
Ye Mengyao simply turned her head away.
Just then, a figure walked up to her desk.
"Miss Ye Mengyao, let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Yu."
Lin Yu ran a hand through his hair, putting on an expression he believed to be incredibly handsome.
Ye Mengyao shot him a glance. "I don't want to know you!"
Lin Yu: "..."
This was a little awkward. Why was this different from what he had expected?
Could it be an issue with his pose?
Thinking this, he switched to what he thought was an even more handsome pose. "Ye Meng..."
"Can you get the hell out of my sight? Looking at you irritates me!"
Ye Mengyao's beautiful brows knit tightly together. She had already been in a bad mood, and she had androphobia.
Her voice rose several pitches, drawing the attention of quite a few people in the classroom.
Even Jiang Che looked over with mild curiosity.
Oh? This was only the first time the Son of Heaven's Mandate and his little female lead had met, right? Why were they already arguing?
"Did you hear me? I told you to get lost!"
The young miss had never spared anyone's pride.
"Creak, creak~~" A trace of anger surfaced on Lin Yu's face as well. Other than his master, no one had ever dared insult him like this!
Yet his fury quickly faded.
After all, she was a beauty. Could a beauty getting angry be called losing her temper?
That was called coquettish sulking!
He then revealed a confident expression again. "Believe me. It's fine if you don't want to know me now. Very soon, my name will spread throughout Shilan School."
Such an ordinary yet confident man!
Absolutely an ordinary yet confident man!
Ye Mengyao's impression of Lin Yu plummeted to rock bottom. Arrogant and conceited—ordinary, yet confident.
"Get lost! Idiot!"
To everyone's surprise, this lofty flower of the mountains, Ye Mengyao, actually cursed?
Even Jiang Che was a little dumbfounded.
"System, what's going on? Shouldn't Ye Mengyao have thrown herself at the Son of Destiny the moment she met him? Instantly surrendering beneath Lin Yu's kingly aura?"
Respected host, due to the existence of you, the villain, the Intelligence-Reducing Aura originally exclusive to the Son of Destiny has failed. Thus, the female leads will not have their intelligence reduced...
Jiang Che: "..."
Well, damn!
So that was it. Lin Yu's Intelligence-Reducing Aura was gone.
After Lin Yu embarrassed himself before Ye Mengyao, his entire spirit became somewhat listless.
He transferred every bit of hatred in his heart onto Jiang Che!
"Hehe... Jiang Che, right?"
A cold glint flashed through Lin Yu's eyes.
The entire morning passed in the blink of an eye.
When school let out at noon, Ye Mengyao took the initiative to walk up to Jiang Che.
She rarely took the initiative to speak with Jiang Che. Or rather... she rarely spoke with boys at all.
For a moment, she did not even know what to talk about.
"Um... are you confident about this afternoon's mock exam?" Ye Mengyao regretted speaking the instant she opened her mouth.
What kind of damned thing was that to say?
She was among the top ten students in the school, while Jiang Che was universally acknowledged as an Underachiever. His combined scores in every subject were not even as high as her English score alone.
Wasn't that blatant mockery?
"Yes, of course I am!" Jiang Che's expression remained calm.
"Hehe... You're confident you'll come last in the entire school, right~?" Yu Wan'er began mocking him from the side.
Jiang Che glanced at Yu Wan'er, who had started hopping around again. He licked his back teeth, and a flash of danger passed through his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yu stood up as well.
How could such a perfect opportunity to show off possibly exclude him?
"Hehe... I heard that Young Master Jiang's grades are exceptionally outstanding!" Lin Yu clapped, ridicule gleaming in his eyes.
There were still quite a few people in the classroom, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, like drawn swords and bent bows.
Jiang Che merely shrugged. "Grades don't really matter to me. If I don't do well... then I can only go home and inherit my hundred-billion family fortune."
What a Versailles humblebrag!
An absolute Versailles humblebrag!
Although the students who attended Shilan School generally came from fairly wealthy families, most were still middle-class. A god-tier second-generation heir like Jiang Che, whose father was the Richest Man in Hangzhou and whose family possessed hundreds of billions in assets, was one of a kind.
"Heh... What do you have besides money?" Lin Yu sneered.
"I'm also very handsome. If I run out of money, I can always become a male escort. There are plenty of rich older sisters waiting to support me!" Jiang Che, who had transmigrated here, had exceptionally thick skin.
"Unlike an ugly bastard like you—no money, no looks. Even if you went out to sell your ass, nobody would want you."
When dealing with protagonists like Lin Yu, direct personal attacks were enough.
"You—" Lin Yu crossed the distance in three strides, rushing before Jiang Che and grabbing him by the collar.
Several of Jiang Che's lackeys rushed forward at once.
"Let go of Young Master Jiang!"
"You dare touch Young Master Jiang? Believe it or not, we'll make it impossible for you, you poor student, to survive in this school?"
Clearly, these lackeys were meant to give Lin Yu experience points.
Lin Yu sent them flying with a few kicks.
A smile lingered on Jiang Che's lips as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.
"Hello, Officer... You should have roughly heard everything over the phone just now, right? There's campus violence happening here at Shilan School... Some guy is trying to beat us up, and three of my classmates' lives are currently unknown."
