Chapter 3: The Secret Techniques of Becoming Ensnared in Madness
If Dong Qingyun and Tang Wu, who have not yet fully grasped this set of exercises that claims to encompass all the knowledge points and pitfalls of junior high school, were to know that Su Can is currently this confident, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop.
The crowd around was momentarily stunned; this Su Can truly dares to speak up! At this moment, Tang Wu looked at Su Can, feeling a slight sense of relief. Just a moment ago, she had been lamenting life due to thoughts of his future in the lower and middle tiers, yet now Su Can was displaying such ambition, which brought a touch of comfort to Tang Wu, who had been feeling somewhat sentimental due to her graduation.
"Bubble tea!" Under the astonished exclamations of Tang Wu's twin sisters, Cheng Yun and Cheng Lan, Su Can quickly recalled the identity of the newcomer
This is not due to any favoritism or dark intentions on the part of the school teachers, but rather because these questions currently belong to the marginal categories of the curriculum, and their difficulty is at the top level for middle school. For average students, distributing such difficult questions as review materials before the exam is of no help to them; on the contrary, it can be detrimental. These questions can help top-performing students consolidate and review the entire knowledge system, but for average students, they can only disrupt their normal thought processes, leading to dire consequences.

However, these exercises now appear exceedingly familiar; the entire situation is laid bare. Su Can mused that if he had a piece of paper and a pen, he could still deduce the answers.
"Look, can you understand this?" Dong Qingyun raised an eyebrow at Tushu, handing the exam paper to Su Can, with no attempt to conceal the disdain in her tone
The rare blush that appeared on Tang Wu's face left Dong Qingyun in a daze, while simultaneously filling him with immense hostility towards Su Can. However, his words clearly indicated that he and Tang Wu belonged to the top tier of students in the class, and only she was worthy of being in the same position as him. As for someone like Su Can, he was the type who would soon be overwhelmed by the vastness of the world.
Su Can noticed that the exam paper had no title; it was a test printed separately by the school's printing house. The strong smell of ink from the oil paper had not yet dissipated, and he felt an indescribable sense of nostalgia wafting into his nose. Su Can experienced a slight urge to cry, as it was such a precious reminder of the past.
Tang Wu clearly had no interest in Dong Qingyun. As the vice class leader, she frowned slightly and said, "Oh, I forgot. Which question do you not understand? Anyway, tomorrow is the last day before the holiday. Can I explain it to you at school tomorrow?"
However, Su Can certainly could not reveal his true emotions; otherwise, with so many people witnessing him weep over the objects, they would likely think he had lost his mind or was expressing sorrow over an uncertain future
As Su Can looked at these exercises, although he could not solve them all at a glance, the knowledge he acquired during high school and university was referred to as "advanced mathematics." This knowledge was built upon an understanding of middle school mathematics, much like a high school student revisiting middle school problems. While he might not be able to solve them completely, he was at least confident in about 80% of them. Moreover, Su Can had put in considerable effort to study after experiencing repeated setbacks, but due to his weak foundation, his grades had not improved.
This made Dong Qingyun someone whom no one dared to provoke. Even though he was quite well-known in his grade, Su Can remembered that since middle school, Dong Qingyun had launched a fierce pursuit of Tang Wu. As for whether he ultimately succeeded, that remained unknown after both Tang Wu and he advanced to high school following their joint entrance examination.
Can you? The glacially indifferent Tang Wu ultimately expressed an unprecedented concern for Su Can.
"Go ahead! Just make a copy for you." Dong Qingyun suppressed the anger that had slightly surfaced and then been buried, responding cheerfully on the surface while already calculating internally, "Since Su Can is seeking his own demise, he can't blame me!" The internal test questions were only distributed to these individuals by the teacher because only their current level of quality and thinking could enable them to break through and improve towards the highest tier, reaching the pinnacle of the junior high stage.
Dong Qingyun never expected that the usually timid Su Can would suddenly become so calm and composed, and even call out his name directly. Hearing his name being called in such a manner felt strange, as if his older brother were speaking to him from a position of superiority.
At that time, well, it was none other than Dong Qingyun, the vice class leader of the current middle school class. Dong Qingyun was quite the prominent figure in the class, embodying the nascent and typical traits of pure bureaucratic tendencies. Relying on his title as vice class leader, no one dared to offend him, especially those few individuals in the class who were disinterested in studying and later became social delinquents. At that time, their rebellious spirit had not fully developed, and in order to gain Dong Qingyun's protection for their unfinished homework, they almost became his loyal henchmen and lackeys.

However, Tang Wu certainly knows that even if a person's fate can be reversed through temporary efforts, it is rather too late to do so in the last three days before the high school entrance examination
Dong Qingyun's words were indirectly demonstrating to Su Can. Just now, Tang Wu blushed and turned her head under Su Can's gaze; he certainly noticed. He pondered what had happened to this timid boy who had been hiding in the corner like a turtle for the past three years, preparing to go all out before graduation to pursue the campus beauty, Tang Wu.
For individuals like Su Can, these exam questions are nothing more than a secret manual that leads to obsession, likely resulting in a complete muddling of their minds and ultimately leading to failure
Just like in a martial arts novel, a person who has been weak and sickly since childhood, no matter how hard they strive later on, can never become a master with profound internal strength unless they encounter a miracle, such as finding treasure after jumping off a cliff.
Su Can understood that if this was not a dream, then the fact that he had inexplicably returned to eleven years ago was an absolute reality that could not be changed. Everything before him, both sensory and visual, was so clear and real. If rebirth were to truly happen to him, then in order to prevent the tragedies of his future from repeating, Su Can realized that the first boss he needed to tackle was the junior secondary education graduation examination in front of him; otherwise, he would merely be reliving a life of suffering.

He casually glanced at Su Can beside him and said, "Well, there is still one last day tomorrow, and then there will be two days for free review. How about I come find you, and we can review together? You can explain some questions that you know to me, and for the ones you find challenging, I might have some ideas as well"
Su Can came to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him with strange expressions. He couldn't help but smile apologetically, "Well, it's getting late. Everyone should head home; we don't want to worry our families... However, Dong Qingyun, could you let me make a copy of this exam paper to take back with me?"
Everyone frowned as they saw him take the exam paper, but no one focused on it; instead, they quietly discussed topics among the girls, not lacking a sense of melancholy about the impending graduation
Dong Qingyun's deliberate actions could not escape Su Can's notice at this moment. He found it amusing that this guy was feeling jealous. As for Su Can, who chose not to comment on it, he inadvertently glanced at the test paper in Dong Qingyun's hand and said, "Um, could I take a look at that?"
Amidst the chatter of the crowd, the gazes of the twin sisters Cheng Yun and Cheng Lan first fell upon Su Can, who stood there in a daze, staring at the exam paper for nearly five minutes. What’s going on? Could it be that Su Can is truly captivated by these internal exercises? He doesn’t even consider his own grades. Can he really compare with Tang Wu? Can he comprehend the content of these exercises?
This set of examination papers does not have a title; it begins directly with the first question. There are no blank lines between the questions, whether they are multiple-choice, geometric proofs, or calculation problems, all the way to question 100. Coupled with Dong Qingyun's previous attitude, Su Can understands that this is an internal test paper. Generally speaking, teachers at the school will send some of the more challenging problems at this stage as internal reference materials to the top-performing students in the class, so they can make final improvements in preparation for a spectacular final battle.
Although bubble tea has become an outdated trend many years later, losing its former glory, it remains a relatively high-end product for students today, especially with the term "Taiwanese pearl milk tea" uttered by Dong Qingyun, which greatly intrigued the two sisters, Cheng Yun and Cheng Lan
These materials are often available in limited quantities and are typically distributed only to top students like Dong Qingyun and Tang Wu. Students like Su Can are generally unlikely to receive them.
Tang Wu was clearly a bit moved. Although she had excellent grades, she had not yet reached the level of arrogance. It was entirely normal for her to encounter questions she did not know in middle school. Dong Qingyun's suggestions were reasonable. For the two days leading up to the entrance exam, Tang Wu had originally planned to dedicate one day to review and one day to rest. On the day of review, if she could work with Dong Qingyun, who had comparable grades in the class, to identify and fill in the gaps in her knowledge, it would be a significant help.

It seems that heaven has given him a chance to rebuild his foundation.
Dong Qingyun shrugged his shoulders while holding the exam paper, and upon hearing this, he retracted a bit, "Well... I think that works too"
Dong Qingyun might as well have fulfilled him
