Chapter 9

Mei Shu felt that she had already used up her few brain cells and could only remember more than 30 words in the end. That was why she thought of using numbers to deceive her way through. However, her luck was not good enough. “No, no, no! Give me one more chance! I can give you ten more words within a minute now.”

Being begged by Mei Shu, Little Eight applied for an exception for Mei Shu. [Alright, the timer starts now!]

One minute later.

Little Eight looked at Mei Shu speechlessly. [I, Love, You, are… these considered new word?]not

Mei Shu blinked innocently a few times. [Why doesn’t it count? You didn’t say that the English words 1, 2, and 3 didn’t count just now. And shouldn’t it be up to me to judge whether or not they are new words? I’m at the bottom of the class! I haven’t touched a textbook in over a decade in my past life, so for me, these are all new words!]

Little Eight: … It was the first time it had heard someone confidently say that she was at the bottom of the class. It wanted to refute Mei Shu’s explanation, but didn’t know where to start. It decided to report the loophole in the task to the headquarters later.

[Alright, you can’t exploit loopholes like this next time! I’ll count it as you passing this time. +10 points, Activate the photographic memory skill!]

Mei Shu’s eyes lit up. It was only a matter of time before she could get into a top university with this skill! Hearing Little Eight’s warning, she snickered in her heart. Of course, she would dare to do it next time.

She had found the loophole with her own ability, so why couldn’t she take advantage of it? She hadn’t done anything wrong and had even helped them discover the problem.

Mei Shu lowered her head and was secretly delighted when she saw a hand appear in the upper right corner of her desk.

“Knock, knock,” came two knocks.

Mei Shu knew that something was wrong. She looked up and saw the teacher staring at her and her English book. She could only smile awkwardly.

“Come to my office after class,” the teacher said softly and turned to leave.

When the bell rang, Mei Shu followed the teacher to the office.

The teacher sat on the chair and held back his anger as he asked, “Why are you reading English in math class? Are you planning to read math in English class?”

Mei Shu rubbed his nose. Actually, this teacher was quite good and responsible. Even though Mei Shu wasn’t focused on studying in her past life, he didn’t give up on her. He talked to her several times, hoping she could make a final sprint in the last three months. He told her that regardless of the result, at least she tried her best and wouldn’t have any regrets.

However, Mei Shu didn’t listen. She was persuaded by Wang Yue and her daughter to learn the piano. They said that if she took the art path for the college entrance exam, she would need a much lower score, which would give her a better chance of getting into college.

If the path of an art student was really that easy, wouldn’t all those who were not good at studying have gone for it? Besides, it was already past the application deadline for the art exam, and Wang Yue didn’t let her learn arts properly. In the end, both sides were naturally delayed.

Mei Shu thought for a moment. She was not good at science to begin with, so she might as well tell the teacher about her plan. She might even be able to get some good learning suggestions. “Teacher, I haven’t even mastered the mathematics of junior high school, so I don’t understand the classes of high school now. I want to read some textbooks that I can memorize so that I won’t waste my time.”

When the teacher heard this, he felt a little comforted. As long as Mei Shu still wanted to study, there was still hope. “Mathematics is more about the application of logical thinking. Memorizing it by rote definitely won’t work.”

“However, time is limited now. As long as you want to learn, I’ll arrange some classic questions for you this week. As long as you study the formulas thoroughly, you’ll still be able to get a high score. The perfect score is 150 points. Try your best to get most of the basic questions. At the very least, you can get 80 to 90 points, which won’t drag you down in the college entrance exam. Don’t listen to math class. Just do the questions I found for you. If you don’t understand, ask me after the class.”

Mei Shu thanked him gratefully. “Thank you, Teacher!”

With targeted practice, Mathematics would not drag down the total score of the college entrance examination by too much. Coupled with her photographic memory, Mei Shu was now confident that she could make it to the top 100 of the grade!

Back in class, Mei Shu borrowed notes from the class monitor.

Class monitor Chen Hao was a short and chubby boy wearing round-framed glasses. He had a particularly gentle temperament and kindly reminded her, “You want to borrow the notes of history, geography, and politics of Grade 1 to Grade 3? But we’re already reviewing the classes of Grade 2.”

Mei Shu smiled and replied, “Class Monitor, I didn’t catch up with the previous classes. I wanted to take advantage of the weekend to copy the notes at home. I’ll return them to you on Monday. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?”

When Chen Hao heard this, he didn’t persuade her anymore. “What’s so inconvenient about that? Then I’ll do the English and Mathematics papers this weekend.”
