How to Become a Top Student

Blurb:

In his previous life, Cong Sheng dropped out of high school and drifted through society just to earn money for his gravely ill younger sister's treatment. But years of overwork took their toll. While driving a taxi one day, he was caught in a multi-car pileup and died.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the eve of the college entrance exams and unexpectedly awakened a Top Student System.

A data panel appeared before him.

[English]: Lv.0 (You're still coasting on what you learned in middle school, aren't you? Study now, or you'll end up brain-dead.)

[Math]: Lv.2 (Hmm, looks like you have a real talent for math.)

[Physics]: Lv.1 (Your brain seems to work after all. Study a little, and you might improve.)

[Focus]: Lv.0 (Right now, your attention span is on par with an immature paramecium. Tsk, tsk, tsk.)

[Health]: Lv.0 (With a constitution like yours, will I even live to see you reach the top of the world?)

[Energy]: 20/100 (I'm starting to wonder if choosing you was a mistake. Maybe we should terminate our contract.)

Cong Sheng: ...

Why was this System so vicious?

Looking at the frighteningly low levels on the data panel, he could hardly believe it.

He had at least gotten into this school as the top scorer on the high school entrance exam, so how had he ended up near the bottom of his class?

And wasn't this a study system? What did physical health have to do with anything?

But when Cong Sheng saw he could exchange study points for life points, he resolutely chose to accept.

This time, he would never let his sister down again.

In just half a semester, a transfer student who had ranked last in his class rose to become the top student in the entire school.

At the national team selection contest, where geniuses gathered, he stunned everyone by solving the final challenge in a way no one had expected.

At the International Olympiad awards ceremony, he won the grand slam and watched China's red flag rise.

He joined a world-class scientific laboratory, published in leading academic journals, and won one award after another.

Years later, when Cong Sheng stood on the Nobel Prize stage, he looked out at the world with an almost serene gaze.

"When I first set out on this path, all I wanted was to cure my sister's illness."

"Later, I solved one difficult problem after another. The greatest honor of my life is that I'm still pursuing the truth, receiving the torch of human civilization and carrying it forward on behalf of my country, into the world of the future."

He founded a school of thought named after himself, learned to define the future, and became a symbol of humanity.

1. A progression-focused story with face-slapping thrills. The romance is minimal compared to the plot and won't affect it.

2. The protagonist is adored by everyone, and most of those feelings are one-sided. Please don't read if that bothers you.
