Academic Life Simulation System

[A Must-Read Pick from the Annual Rankings of Top Student Novels]

[Written by someone who studied mathematics, so there’s no making things up]

Fall 2016, Department of Mathematics, Yuzhou Institute of Technology.

Ji Tianming stared blankly at a page full of epsilon-N language.

To him, it looked no less incomprehensible than a heavenly tome.

The confidence he’d gained from scoring 130 in high school math crumbled completely in the face of the heavenly tomes of advanced calculus and abstract algebra.

Just as he was about to give up, the [Top Student Life Simulation System] activated.

[Begin your first top student life simulation?]

[Yes.]

[Simulation complete.]

[Rating for this life: Grade D (an ordinary start)]

He skipped advanced calculus and earned a poor impression from the professor, copied a wrong answer in abstract algebra and got reprimanded, stammered nervously through an interview for the student outreach department, then spent the weekend gaming with friends while his assignments piled up.

Seven days passed in a daze. He was destined to scrape through finals, with no chance at competitions or a recommendation for graduate school.

[Evaluation: Just like the vast majority of freshmen who have just started university.

He has brief bursts of ambition, but lacks the discipline to match. In a relaxed environment, he simply goes with the flow, alternating between short-lived determination and a persistent willingness to coast through life.

If he continues along this path, he will most likely scrape through advanced calculus and abstract algebra, miss out on scholarships and competitions, and have no hope of getting a recommendation for graduate school. In the end, he will fade into the crowd, becoming an utterly ordinary, perhaps even mediocre, university student with no competitive edge.]

Completion reward: Comprehension +0.5.

When Ji Tianming looked at the material in his textbook again, it suddenly felt different.

So this is what it feels like to have a cheat! It really is something else!
