The Evening Breeze of 2002 Was Sweet, and Making Money Was Easy

Lu Shinian, a high school junior who skipped class and got into fights, was unanimously branded the school's biggest loser. After being reborn, the first thing he did was take his childhood friend to break into the school's computer lab and exploit a game bug, all to scrape together drinking money for his alcoholic mother.

Caught red-handed, he expected a major demerit. Instead, he casually solved a math Olympiad problem that had stumped even the teachers, nearly making the dean of studies leap out of his chair.

From then on, he let loose completely:

While everyone else painstakingly showed their work, he wrote down only the answers and complained that the test was too easy.

“That's it? You call this a competition problem?”

When an interviewer questioned his mathematical ability, Lu Shinian promptly laid out his approach to proving the Riemann Hypothesis. The entire room fell silent.

The cool, aloof top student Su Qingyuan was his childhood friend and the object of the whole school's admiration. Lu Shinian put an arm around her. “Stop staring. She's my girlfriend.”

Every boy in school had their heart broken at once.

When the criminal underworld came knocking, Lu Shinian took them down one punch at a time. He hadn't been reborn just to take abuse. He was going to reclaim everything he'd been denied in his previous life.
