I Was a Top Student in the 1960S

[The main story is complete] Jump right in with confidence! My new story is open for follows, darling. Come add it to your collection: The Technology Tree I Lit Up in the 1970s, Yan's journey to becoming a big shot. [Blurb] Lin Shu transmigrated. In her previous life, she worked tirelessly and became the youngest academician in Huaguo's history, winning one major international award after another, only to die from overwork. Thinking of how hard she'd worked in her previous life, Lin Shu wiped away a tear and vowed to spend this life lazing about, taking slothfulness to the extreme. But after transmigrating to the 1960s, she found her family gaunt and starving. They ate coarse flour and drank pumpkin soup, and only got to taste rice and meat at New Year. Then a severe drought struck, and the whole family was at risk of going hungry. So once again, she had to put her knowledge to work just to get enough to eat. Her efforts went further than expected. She became a renowned top student in the area and used her knowledge to lead her whole family to prosperity. They even started receiving grain rations from the city. Artificial rain, launching satellites, shortening crop cycles... Before she knew it, Lin Shu had accomplished one earth-shaking feat after another. Original heroine: How did I never realize that the little Lin girl was so clever in my previous life? The Lin family: My granddaughter/daughter/younger sister is actually a genius. A certain young wolf: As expected of the person I like. She's just that amazing. Reader's guide: The heroine is her own golden finger, and she's extremely overpowered. This is an alternate 1960s setting, so plenty of things are different from real history. A heroine who's a top student and a hero who's aloof at first but later can't resist falling for her. Also known as: How I Reached the Pinnacle of Life Through Knowledge, Studying Made Me Rich. One update a day, at midnight. If anything comes up, I'll explain in the comments. Other times I'm fixing typos or trying my luck with a little metaphysical magic. New story: The Technology Tree I Lit Up in the 1970s Blurb 1 Gu Yan was bound to a technology tree System from Blue Star, and from then on, he never looked back on the path to becoming a top student. Increasing crop yields, improving machinery, launching a crewed rocket... Gu Yan believes knowledge is power. Keep striving, young man! He kept at it, and before he knew it, his country had become a world power. A little scene: Five-year-old Gu Yan stomped around on his little legs, looking proud. "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, I came in first today. My teacher said I'm the smartest kid he's ever met." The Gu family was delighted. "That's our Gu family child! You got your smarts from me!" Six-year-old Gu Yan looked excited. "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, I won first place in a school competition." The Gu family took pride in him. "Keep it up!" Seven-year-old Gu Yan said, "I came in first again. My teacher said someone from my family should give a speech." The usually less-than-harmonious Gu family erupted into a fierce debate over who would give the speech. In the end, Grandpa narrowly won thanks to his seniority. ╭(╯ε╰)╮ Eight-year-old Gu Yan Nine years old... Ten years old... The Gu family said they were already numb to it. It wouldn't surprise them if their youngest could fly to the heavens. And then Gu Yan really did go to space. Everyone:! M Country's Era X magazine: If this era has one genius, I can't think of anyone other than him. Blurb 2 As the naughtiest kid in Daliushu Village, Gu Yan always felt he was different from the other children. After he was bound to a technology tree System from Blue Star, he became even more convinced. He, Gu Yan the extraordinary, was destined to reach the heavens. In these days when people had barely enough to eat or wear, Gu Yan got rewards just for studying. "Ding! You've mastered a mathematical theorem. Reward: one grain coupon." "Ding! Host has studied for more than three hours. Reward: 10 jin of pork." And so Gu Yan never looked back on the path to becoming a top student. Years later, people interviewed this globally renowned Xia Country academician: "Academician Gu, how do you think you ended up pursuing scientific research?" Gu Yan's gaze grew distant. "Well, it all started with a bowl of braised pork..." Feel-good, sweet, and lighthearted. Theme:
