In the second week of his sophomore year, Chen Jing sits the selection exam for the math competition.
He gets stuck on the final problem, his palms sweating, with only fifteen minutes left.
Then an interface called the “Academic Prodigy System” lights up before his eyes.
Mathematics LV1, Physics LV1, Chemistry LV1… Core mission: solve the Unified Field Theory.
From then on, math formulas become as easy to take apart as building blocks, and the laws of physics unfold before his eyes. He dominates all three major academic competitions, solving problems so fast that the whole school is stunned. Teacher Yang hands over the math notes she's kept hidden away, his ordinary classmate Wang Yue becomes his partner in the fight, and Su Wan from the humanities track gives him a copy of the Zhuangzi in the library.
At the city competition, he turns in his paper early. At the provincial competition, he aims for first place. At the national competition, he plans to stand on the highest podium.
And the System's ultimate goal lies among the stars.
Because the Unified Field Theory is the key to the universe.
