"Congratulations, host. Physics has been upgraded to Level 2. Your observation, memory, imagination, judgment, deduction, and other abilities in the field of physics have significantly improved over the previous level, and you also benefit from a true bonus from mathematics. 1,000 Academic Prodigy Points deducted. Remaining points: 37,873."

Shen Qi spent 4,000 Academic Prodigy Points in quick succession to upgrade physics to Level 3.
After half a year of firsthand experience with upgrading mathematics, Shen Qi had gained an increasingly deep understanding of how the system's level mappings performed in practice.
Level 0 was downright garbage, but that didn't mean you were an idiot. It was Shen Qi's starting point: a poor student who often failed exams.
In practice, Level 1 mapped to the average level in the class—neither the best nor the worst.
At Level 2, you could dominate your class, or even your grade. That was the most basic level of academic prodigy.
Level 3 was an advanced academic prodigy, good enough to compete in academic contests at the city or provincial level.
Level 4 was close to professional: an academic prodigy capable of achieving respectable results in national competitions.
Level 5 was professional. At that level, you could compete internationally.
Level 6 was an advanced professional. What achievements that level could bring in practice remained to be seen. Shen Qi's mathematics had only just reached Level 6, and its practical effects would take time to verify.
With Level 6 mathematics, Level 3 physics, Level 2 English, and all other
