A handsome scientist has gone viral online. His appeal isn't just his looks: he's got a sharp tongue, too.
When foreign reporters ask snide questions, he stands his ground with such force that he seems two meters tall.
"Your country didn't have advanced technology before. Where did you learn how to develop it?"
Mao Zixia: "I learned by looking."
"Regarding the upcoming ISEF science fair, are you confident you'll win the transparent award?"
Mao Zixia: "By asking me that question, are you showing any respect for the other contestants?"
The foreign reporters: "..."
Chinese netizens are ecstatic. They dig up Mao Zixia's past and discover that he's merciless not only toward foreign reporters, but also toward people at home who put down their own country.
His rise is like something straight out of a wish-fulfillment story.
He placed second in a science and technology competition in elementary school.
In middle school, he and a friend won first place in an international friendship competition between Chinese and foreign schools.
In high school, he was admitted directly to a renowned domestic university of science and technology, then went on to become a researcher.
In the end, he became a handsome scientist with real technical expertise.

After dying during an era when Huaguo was weak, Mao Zixia came back to life.
When he opened his eyes again, he was a child in an ordinary working-class family in Huaguo at the beginning of the twenty-first century, decades later.
At the time, Huaguo's economy was rapidly growing at home while it kept a low profile abroad.
Patriotic education for young people was falling short, and countless teenagers dreamed of moving overseas.
When Mao Zixia once again heard people disparaging domestic inventions, he felt inspired to strengthen his country through science and resolved to join the scientific community.
But when he told his family about his ambition, his father patted him on the head.
"Son, how about you pass your end-of-term exams first?"
Only then did Mao Zixia remember that in this life, he was an idiot, just ten years old, and had been failing his exams for years.
On the last in-class test, he had scored 59 in both Chinese and math.
Mao Zixia: "...Okay, Dad."
He brought out his rebirth perk: a black-tech genius study device.
Mao Zixia: "I'm counting on you, buddy."
Even a big shot has to start with the basics!
Reader's Notes: 1. The protagonist is the one pursued; an everyday story about working hard and studying.
2. Childhood-friend couple. There's a golden finger, but it's not overpowered.
3. Fictional setting, very fictional. Please don't compare it to reality.
4. Patriotic story. I love my country.
5. If this sounds interesting, please add it to your collection.
Please add my new book, I Became a Star Across the Galaxy by Making Action Figures, to your reading list!
Action-figure maker Long Tuantuan gets a strange commission: for an outrageous fee, he's asked to repair a dough figurine with missing arms and legs.
The little figure wears armor and has a handsome face, even if his short, stocky build can't be hidden.
Long Tuantuan is thrilled by the challenge and works meticulously, forgetting to eat or sleep.
A day later, he has a fully restored little dough figure with no trace of the repairs.
But before he can send the figure back, several more dough figurines appear outside his door, covered in blood and crippled.
Furious, Long Tuantuan messages the client: "If you don't like them, give them all to me. I want them!"
The client is delighted and rushes to send all the dough figures over.
After that, more and more dough figures fill Long Tuantuan's home, until they can barely fit in one room.
Long Tuantuan thinks nothing else will change, until one day all the dough figures fall to the floor, except the first one, the armored figure, which stands tall and proud.
When Long Tuantuan walks in, the dough figure seems to smile at him.
Long Tuantuan is stunned: "!!!"
My action figure has come to life!
.
The gods have abandoned this war-torn empire. At last, even the empire's God of War loses his arms and legs and becomes disabled.
He is the First Marshal and the empire's last emperor.
Just as everyone is losing hope, the gods suddenly answer their prayers.
Those chosen by the gods regain their health. At night, they enter a strange body and appear in the gods' realm.
Through their eyes, on a livestreaming app, they can see the god they love and revere.
The god is weaker, younger, and more beautiful than they imagined. He looks like an ordinary person, but he loves his people even more than they do.
Every person he chooses is carefully put away by him, and he makes them exquisitely styled clothes.
And so...
The livestreaming app goes wild. Long Tuantuan, who unknowingly broadcasts his daily life, becomes a sensation.
He stands out among war heroes and entertainment stars to become the empire's top-tier star.
Everyone urges the streamers they like to get closer to the god and win his favor.
But before anyone can make a move, the God of War and Emperor, Xia Er Kaishaman, knocks everyone to the ground and stands alone atop the display shelf, looking down on the world.
He says, "Mine!"
No grabbing, no looking, and no even thinking about it!

I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I just sat there. Ever since I entered V, I often stopped updating. Before I entered V, I updated every day. Even if it stopped, it would only last a day and then I would make up for it. After entering V, I would stop updating at every turn, and it was short, and I didn't even have a leave note. Why are you getting a V stamp like this? You can just leave a leave note if you really have something to do.
Ah, this, I really didn't spend money to read specific elementary school questions. I think it's a bit excessive.
