Gifted in Both Mind and Body

Lin Zichen's shout of "Shut up!" was loud and imposing, making all the children's ears buzz.

For a moment, every child was stunned into silence.

They had never seen anyone their age jump over a meter high, much less speak with such dominance. He looked exactly like an angry dad at home.

Lin Zichen swept his gaze around the room and warned them even more domineeringly:

"From now on, if any of you dare call her the Bed-Wetter King again, or bully Hanhan again, I'll make you wet the bed every day!"

"Do you understand?!"

He deliberately raised his voice on that final sentence.

That slight increase in volume seemed like the last straw, frightening many of the children into tears.

"Waaah, Dad, I'm scared!"

"Mom, waaah..."

"Mom, Dad, school isn't fun! I want to go home, waaah..."

Among them, the little girl with the Bun cried the hardest.

That was because Lin Zichen's warning had practically been directed at her, making the target all too obvious.

Before long, the commotion in the classroom drew the teachers over.

"What happened? What exactly is going on?"

"Good children, don't cry."

"Chenchen, why are you standing on the desk? That's dangerous. Come down quickly."

"..."

Lin Zichen ignored the teachers who had arrived.

At that moment, all his attention was fixed on the words appearing in the Void.

[Your domineering aura overflowed, causing all the children in the class to fear you. You have successfully unlocked the title—Kindergarten King of Kids.]

[Achievement: Dominate Nine-Year Compulsory Education.]

[Reward: Biological Attribute—Survival of the Fittest.]

[Titles: Kindergarten King of Kids (unlocked), Elementary School Boss (locked), Junior High School Bully (locked).]

A third Achievement quest had actually appeared?

Lin Zichen was pleasantly surprised.

He had not even completed the previous reading Achievement, yet another Achievement quest had appeared.

It seemed that multiple Achievement quests could exist at the same time.

That was good news.

At that thought, a smile appeared on Lin Zichen's face, completely out of place in the classroom filled with crying.

The next day.

The kindergarten received complaints from several parents in the class.

After hearing about what had happened from their children, the parents called the kindergarten one after another to demand an explanation.

The kindergarten had no choice but to invite the relevant parents to the school and mediate face-to-face.

The parents who had come looking for answers believed Lin Zichen was the culprit and all turned their hostility toward Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin.

Shen Qinghan's parents, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng, felt that this made no sense.

Both husband and wife believed that their daughter was the one who had been bullied, while Lin Zichen had merely stood up for her. What had he done wrong?

So, the couple directly snapped back at those parents demanding an explanation.

They were both teachers, articulate and full of sound arguments. In just a few exchanges, they left the parents who had come seeking justice speechless.

It was not until the principal stepped in and gave everyone a way out.

She said it had all been a misunderstanding and no one was at fault, and only then did the matter come to a temporary end.

For the children's sake.

The next day, the principal transferred Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan to another class.

In the new class, with Lin Zichen looking out for her, Shen Qinghan was never excluded by the other children again. She even made quite a few friends.

But they were all ordinary friends.

As for a true friend, Shen Qinghan recognized only Lin Zichen.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

That night.

After taking a bath, Lin Zichen sat in his room reading.

Not long after he started, several prompts appeared in the Void.

[Total reading volume of 100 million words reached.]

[Biological Attribute obtained: Heavenly Human Wisdom Root.]

[Heavenly Human Wisdom Root: photographic memory; learning ability reaches the pinnacle of humanity.]

After reading the description, Lin Zichen casually flipped to an unread page and quickly scanned its contents.

After finishing, he closed the book and tried to recite the entire page.

To his delight, he discovered that he could recite every single word without error.

It really was photographic memory!

Late at night.

Once he saw that both of his parents had returned to their room to sleep, Lin Zichen left his own room, slipped into their writing room, turned on their work computer, and searched for a teaching video about high school calculus derivatives.

In his previous life, derivatives had tormented him terribly in high school.

Now, he wanted to use derivatives to test the effects of [Heavenly Human Wisdom Root].

[You are studying mathematics. Mental Strength +1, Logical Thinking +1, Computational Ability +1...]

In the dim room, the glow from the computer screen shone directly onto Lin Zichen's face, making it look somewhat shadowy.

About half an hour later, the video ended.

And at that very moment.

Lin Zichen felt as though he had been enlightened, instantly understanding derivatives.

He immediately searched for mathematics college entrance exam papers from previous years and worked through several derivative problems. The answers came out as soon as he differentiated them.

In his previous life, when he was a high school senior, he could not solve them no matter how he differentiated. In this life, while still in kindergarten, he could solve them effortlessly.

Was this the true value of learning ability at the pinnacle of humanity?

It was too powerful!

From this moment on, I'm a genius gifted in both mind and body!

Lin Zichen felt slightly exhilarated.

The next morning.

Lin Zichen arrived at kindergarten for their weekly intellectual development class.

The teacher was a young-looking woman who seemed so fresh-faced that she looked like she had only just graduated from high school. Everyone called her Teacher Strawberry.

During class, Teacher Strawberry asked the children a question.

—If the teacher gave everyone 100 yuan and told them to buy only one kind of thing to fill an entire classroom, what would they buy?

"Chocolate, because chocolate tastes good!"

"Then I'd buy ice cream! I think ice cream tastes better than chocolate!"

"Dad likes the 4070ti graphics card! He even talks about the 4070ti in his dreams, so I'd buy a graphics card for Dad!"

The children eagerly gave all sorts of answers.

Unfortunately, none of them got to the point. Clearly, they had not understood the question at all.

"Any other answers? There's a reward for getting it right!" Teacher Strawberry asked as she looked around.

However, none of the children could answer it.

In the end, Teacher Strawberry could only reveal the answer. "We can buy candles. As long as we light them, the candlelight can illuminate the entire classroom."

Shen Qinghan muttered from below, "I really want Teacher Strawberry's reward, but I'm too dumb to answer it..."

Hearing the little girl's mutter, Lin Zichen stood up and looked at Teacher Strawberry on the podium. "Teacher Strawberry, I don't think candles work."

"Oh?" Teacher Strawberry was a little surprised. She had not expected a child to directly reject the standard answer.

She was very curious about this and looked at Lin Zichen with a smile. "Chenchen, why don't candles work?"

Lin Zichen answered, "Because there are desks and chairs in the classroom, along with all kinds of other things. Under candlelight, those things will all cast shadows."

Teacher Strawberry's eyes immediately lit up.

Although Lin Zichen's answer sounded a little like he was nitpicking, she liked children who had their own ideas.

"Then Chenchen, what do you think can fill an entire classroom?"

Teacher Strawberry only asked out of routine and did not think Lin Zichen could give an answer.

After all, even she could not think of a better answer than candles at the moment.

However, Lin Zichen's next answer amazed her.

"I'd use the 100 yuan to buy a dress for Teacher Strawberry. Then, when Teacher Strawberry receives the dress, her joy will fill the entire classroom."

"Y-you want to give me a dress?"

Teacher Strawberry's eyes widened at once, her face full of disbelief.

That answer was too perfect!

Could a four-year-old child really come up with that?

Could I be dreaming?

Teacher Strawberry suddenly felt as though she had truly received a dress. She had been completely charmed by four-year-old Lin Zichen.

After class.

Teacher Strawberry brought Lin Zichen to the office, took out a box of puzzle toys, stuffed it into his hands, and said with a sweet smile:

"Chenchen, Teacher Strawberry really liked your answer in class just now. As a reward, this puzzle toy is yours. Teacher Strawberry hopes you'll become smarter and smarter."

"Thank you, Teacher Strawberry."

Lin Zichen accepted the gift, but felt nothing inside.

With the [Heavenly Human Wisdom Root] attribute, he did not need puzzle toys to help develop his intelligence at all.

This gift was useless to him.

So, as soon as he returned to the classroom, he gave the puzzle toy to Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan was delighted to receive the gift. She hugged the puzzle toy and could not bear to put it down, her eyes filled only with her Chenchen.
