    Reader note

    A dragon-patterned coffin appeared at the bottom of the river, and a severe drought in Jiangnan suddenly turned into a flood. Within a month, countless towns were swallowed by the turbid waves, and strange and bizarre events occurred one after another. The remote town was broken by a shocking event—luxury cars with Beijing license plates lined up in a long queue, and the powerful and wealthy abandoned their dignity, carrying gold and kneeling in the rain in front of my house, their posture so humble that they were practically dust, just begging my grandfather to come out of seclusion. Everyone laughed at my grandfather, saying he was a charlatan who cheated people out of their lives, that everything he calculated was wrong, and that he was so poor that he had to beg on the streets, yet he had done everything he could to raise me. But faced with the wealth that could change his fate, he refused to leave his house, letting the people outside kneel in the rain until their bones were soaked. Three days later, the door opened, and my grandfather angrily rebuked the people who were trying to force him: "The Su family has been living in seclusion for many years, why do you have to bring disaster upon yourselves?" The old man kowtowed repeatedly: "The demonic coffin is causing trouble, and the world will not be at peace until the flood is quelled!" I braved the rain to step forward to protect him, and when the old man saw me, his eyes suddenly lit up. He swore an oath in blood to protect me, and the seven powerful families followed closely behind, their oaths shaking the raindrops. Only then did I realize that Grandpa's apparent destitution was all a facade; the abilities he concealed were enough to make even the most powerful figures willingly grovel before him.

    --- [Tweet] "Academic Underachiever Enters a Top University, Showcasing His Unique Skills" When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his senior year of high school, a 189-point academic underachiever ridiculed by the entire class. Once, he was a tech giant reaching the pinnacle of his industry; now, he couldn't even reach the undergraduate admission line. His homeroom teacher angrily told him he could only work on a construction site, and his rich classmate openly humiliated him, saying, "I'll give you an extra 250 a month." He touched the mottled walls of Maple Leaf University and smiled bitterly; everyone thought he was dreaming. Until the city-wide mock exam, he handed in his paper faster than flipping through a book. Until the international competition list was announced, his name was above a group of top students. Until those dusty patents, terrifying code, and industry-changing technologies were taken out one by one from his seemingly ordinary backpack... Those who once despised him panicked. They realized that in the eyes of this silent academic underachiever, he no longer saw exercises, but a future blueprint they could not even imagine. "When I said I wanted to apply to Maple Leaf University, you laughed at me, saying I was a toad trying to eat swan meat." He stood on the stage at the university's anniversary speech, under the spotlight. "But now, Maple Leaf University is asking me if I can bring a project in." — From last place to the pinnacle of a prestigious university, he only took one semester.
