The Ultimate Cram School: Even the Worst Students Become Academicians?

Lu Ze runs a tutoring center on the verge of bankruptcy, keeping himself going each day with goji berry and malva nut tea from a giant thermos. Faced with a bunch of hopeless students who send his blood pressure soaring, he can only close his eyes and take deep breaths to hide the twitch at the corner of his mouth. When parents sharply complain that their children have made "no progress at all," he instinctively rubs the back of his neck to cover his embarrassment. Just as the tutoring center is about to close for good, the Everything Trait System: Master Teacher Edition awakens!

He discovers he can extract and combine traits: he takes excess energy from a hyperactive student and combines it with focus to create absolute flow; he extracts perfect aim from a battered piece of chalk and uses it to nail a troublemaker who skipped class right in the head. When elite middle schools try to poach his staff with an air of arrogance and rival tutors maliciously undermine him, Lu Ze quietly tags them with lowered intelligence and bad luck, while granting his army of struggling students photographic memory and diligent hard work.

When his tutoring center produces the top scorers in the city, province, and country, the youngest head of a financial dynasty, leading scientific minds, and sporting legends, principals from the world's top schools crowd outside his door in the middle of the night. Lu Ze unscrews his thermos and takes a sip. "Don't crowd around. Let me finish grading this stack of papers first."
