Coming soon: Global Dumbing Down: I Become the Greatest Scholar. Add it to your favorites if you like it! After transmigrating, Zhuang Yan binds herself to a Genius Simulator. [Congratulations, Host! You’ve drawn the 1970s! Your starting attribute points total 100. Please allocate them.] [Attribute points can be allocated to Appearance, Intelligence, Health, Family Background, and Charm.] Zhuang Yan spent her whole life as an ordinary person... She never ranked first in her class, couldn’t get into a top-tier university, couldn’t get past the online application process for a foreign company, couldn’t pass the civil service exams, earned a monthly salary of just 3,000 while working unpaid overtime with only one day off a week, and had never contributed anything to society. Zhuang Yan was sick of being mediocre! Would her life have been different if she were a genius? [Congratulations, Host! All 100 attribute points have been allocated to Intelligence. Begin your simulated life as a genius.] * Zhuang Village was notorious for favoring boys over girls. Girls weren’t allowed to go to school or enter the ancestral hall. If they failed to bear a son for their husbands’ families, they were considered useless, despicable, and deserving of death. Until the unparalleled genius Zhuang Yan appeared... She became the first girl from Zhuang Village to get into the commune’s primary school. She was the first to rank first nationwide in the primary, middle, and high school academic competitions. She was the first to represent her country at the International Science Olympiad, winning gold medals in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. She was the first to be courted by both Tsinghua University and Peking University. She was the first to join the Academy of Sciences, helping the nation catch up with the world’s leading scientists in agricultural and industrial machinery, as well as missiles, satellites, and the Shenzhou spacecraft. She was a national hero. The history of reform and opening-up devoted an entire page to her, and the whole country was encouraged to learn from the spirit of Zhuang Yan. All her achievements would only be made public years later... By then, the world would be watching her, and her dazzling scientific patents would crown her achievements. * Years later, every girl in Zhuang Village would take pride in Zhuang Yan. They would say they wanted to be the next Zhuang Yan, too. * Coming soon: Global Dumbing Down: I Become the Greatest Scholar. Please add it to your favorites! A sudden global catastrophe strips a hundred IQ points from every human being. In this age of intellectual desolation... Only 10% of people can pass primary school, and just 1% pass middle school. One in a thousand makes it through high school, while getting into college is a one-in-a-million miracle. The whole world goes mad for knowledge. * Just after transmigrating, Chi Wu is overwhelmed by a flood of advertisements. [Complete memories of a top scorer in the high school entrance exam! Auctioned for a limited time at one million yuan!] [Brain tissue slides from a hundred top high school math teachers! First come, first served!] [Limited-edition neural impulses that give you the thrill of solving problems! Try it once, and you’ll be hooked for life!] Some people spend their entire fortunes on a piece of a top student’s brain tissue. Others become obsessed with the sperm bank of top exam scorers, hoping their children will make it through high school. Chi Wu, meanwhile, opens a first-grade textbook and uploads his self-study notes to a trading platform. Ten minutes later, 100,000 yuan lands in his account. An hour later, he has over 100,000 buyers. A day later, Chi Wu is hailed as the internet’s most selfless teacher. #OthersSellMemoriesWhileISellKnowledge# #OfficialStatement: My Brain Tissue Is Not for Sale Under Any Circumstances# Theme: Refusing to settle for mediocrity
