Academic God Advancement System

Xu Chenzhong is reborn back in his senior year of high school. From the start, he is still the lowest-ranked student in his grade, while Cheng Wanyi, the girl he secretly loves, shines like a ray of light.

Just as he is about to scrape by the way he did before, the [Academic Prodigy Leap System] finishes loading. It offers subject rankings, academic points, task-based progression, and reward payouts, and can even turn “hard work” into measurable, redeemable abilities.

He chooses to keep pretending to be an ordinary student: steadily climbing the rankings in monthly exams, becoming a legend in the joint entrance exams, and staging a stunning comeback at the Gaokao. At university, he steals the show at military training, grows alongside his dormmates, and wins championship after championship in mathematical modeling, the Mathematical Contest in Modeling, and ACM competitions. He joins a research group, publishes a string of papers at top conferences, and takes home a Best Paper award. Eventually, he heads to MIT for his PhD, launches a startup that takes on industry giants, and reaches the threshold of AGI.

And the unspoken love that never quite became a romance also edges toward a happy ending, through one moment of standing side by side and one missed chance after another.
