Ever since Liu Shiling started elementary school, she had been the center of attention among teachers and classmates. Even though she usually kept a low profile and did not mingle much, she was still like the brightest star in the night sky—her uniqueness and excellence were simply impossible to hide.
Strictly speaking, she had already possessed a one-of-a-kind presence among children her age and had been the most popular child ever since her final year of kindergarten.
Liu Shiling was not only an outstanding student with knowledge of everything from plants and animals to astronomy and electrical appliances; she also possessed exceptional abilities in other areas that no one else had.
From paper folding and coin tricks in kindergarten, to drawing, singing, dancing, and magic after her skills improved, then electric toy DIY, computer hardware DIY, and eventually repairing and modifying smartphones, smartwatches, VR/AR glasses, home consoles, and other devices—her various "skills" had continued to improve as she grew older and advanced through school.
Many of those "skills" were beyond not only children her age, but even elementary school teachers, who could only marvel at her with a touch of awe.
For example, when the school's newly purchased holographic projection equipment malfunctioned during its first use and the teacher was about to contact the manufacturer's after-sales and technical support departments, Liu Shiling, who had only just entered fourth grade, raised her hand and said, "Let me take a look." Without waiting for the teacher's approval, she went straight up to the front, took a multifunction screwdriver from her pencil case, removed the device panel, fiddled with it for half a minute, restarted it, made a few adjustments, and got it working normally again.
Liu Shiling even explained the accompanying documentation to the dumbfounded teacher, telling her how to operate it
