Chapter 5: Slaying Demons and Exorcising Evil

This speed is already astonishing. For top students in middle school, it may be possible to achieve such speed with ordinary test questions; however, reaching this speed with organized internal exercises is truly remarkable

The Su Can in my impression would not be so meticulous and focused on reviewing his studies. Before various exams, big and small, Su Can would always use various "methods" to relax. Similar to the current high school entrance examination, Su Can could have legitimately watched television under the pretext of changing his mind.

Certainly, now is not the time for mere daydreaming; the most crucial aspect is to take action.

However, if one merely intends to take a cursory glance and then manage to cope with the high school entrance examination, it would be rather dismissive of the significance of this exam. At the very least, Su Can believes that if he were to approach the exam in such a careless manner, he might not fail to be admitted to the Third Middle School. However, the First High School in the city and the provincial key high school would be beyond his reach.

It was eleven o'clock, and Su Can was just solving the thirty-fifth question

From the kitchen passage outside Su Can's bedroom window, his mother was astonished to discover that Su Can was studying diligently under the warm glow of a lamp.

However, this set of exercises does not guarantee complete accuracy. Yesterday, Su Can only photocopied the exercises and forgot to include the reference answers. Therefore, the problems he has solved may contain internal discrepancies. After all, sometimes even if one feels confident, the outcome often turns out contrary to expectations. The harsh realities that Su Can experienced before his time travel and rebirth have made him no longer trust his own feelings

Standing up from his chair and stretching comfortably, Su Can secretly exclaimed "refreshing"

Su Licheng, with a slightly relaxed expression, glanced at the position of Su Can's bedroom door. His eyes first reflected a sense of comfort similar to that found on websites like https://mhetushu.com, but then a hint of worry crossed his face. He hesitated, wanting to say something but ultimately sighed, "There are only three days left. If only this child had worked so hard earlier..."

The review materials range from "Monotonicity of Functions", "Multiplication of Powers with the Same Base" to "Quadratic Functions", "Tangent and Cotangent" ... ...

Su Can felt that sharing his experience with anyone would likely be met with disbelief; even if it were in 2009, others would probably say he had read too many novels and was delusional

Su Can's desk was filled with all the textbooks he could find from his three years of junior high school. The adjacent desk looked somewhat impressive, with subjects including Chinese, English, Mathematics, History, Politics, Chemistry, and Physics. Fortunately, he had already completed Geography and Biology, so he would not be taking the high school entrance examination for those two subjects. However, the textbooks in front of him made Su Can instinctively feel overwhelmed.

Few people have the opportunity to start over, and since I have the chance to do so, I cannot simply go through the motions and respond blindly. Given that exam-oriented education has become a gilded stone in this societal environment, and will only intensify in the future, why should I continue to suffer setbacks in this regard? Why can I not utilize the knowledge I have acquired later and leverage it to my advantage?

Yet inexplicably, I found myself back eleven years ago, sitting at the table, looking at the thick textbooks, with the purpose of once again experiencing the disastrous examination-oriented education of eleven years prior

However, it must be said that many of the mistakes made at that time were due to a lack of deep understanding of the sentences, and there were even some words that could not be recognized at all. This is fundamentally an issue of vocabulary memorization and the foundation of reading.

After several instances of urging from his parents, Su Can insisted that they go to bed first. Eventually, unable to resist Su Can any longer, Zeng Ke and Su Licheng, concerned that their strong encouragement might dampen Su Can's enthusiasm for solving problems at that moment, returned to their room with a hint of reluctance.

During his student years, Su Can hardly ever stayed up late. However, in his subsequent work life, working late into the night became a frequent occurrence, especially with the monotonous and tedious routine that could drive one to madness through its repetitive nature. And now, solving problems is merely a small matter compared to the future; moreover, with each problem he solves, Su Can is becoming increasingly adept at it.

After being reborn, he set his sights on the top high school in the city for the high school entrance examination

Su Can laid out six mathematics books beside him and spread out the exercises, starting with the first question. As expected, this was indeed one of the most challenging problems from middle school, and it was not without reason. The first question left Su Can stuck, and the most significant issue was the vague memory of mathematical concepts that had faded over time. He had largely forgotten some formulas, yet Su Can still flipped through the mathematics books one by one in search of answers.

In fact, the vocabulary requirement of 1,500 words for junior high school English has long been surpassed by Su Can's accumulation over eleven years of high school, university, and work experience. Therefore, when he looks back at the mistakes on the test paper from that time, he finds the errors to be quite childish.

The exhilaration of solving problems feels remarkably similar to the joy of playing online games after work in 2009, battling monsters and ultimately leveling up, but this sense of exhilaration is even more intense

This is still a time-consuming task. Aside from a few vocabulary words that require a glance to understand, including some structures that may be relatively complex for middle school students, such as "c https : / / www . hetushucomcomongratulation ( congratulations )" and "delicious ( delicious )", these terms have long become second nature in daily life for Su Can

Returning to the living room, Su Mu, Zeng Ke, quietly said to Su Fu, Su Li Cheng, "Our son is now aware of the importance of hard work; he is diligently reviewing and studying. This child has never been seen to work so hard before, and he understands that he needs to put in effort!"

In the next fifty questions, Su Can swiftly dismantled and conquered them as if he were gnawing on corn.

Furthermore, he must also borrow similarly challenging internal exercises from other subjects that allow for systematic review

After taking a breath, I researched information and consolidated my systematic knowledge. After completely solving the problems, it is now already 1 AM

Opening the English book, I came across one test paper after another from my middle school days. Gazing at the total score of one hundred and fifty, I couldn't help but reflect on my own dismal struggle, always hovering around the passing mark of eighty or ninety. Su Can couldn't help but curse himself for being so foolish back then in middle school! Those mistakes, now viewed in hindsight, seem like glaring errors that should never have been made.

However, as night fell, her son not only did not indulge in play, but instead remained in his room, diligently studying and reviewing his exercises. This brought a sense of relief and comfort to Su's mother.

The first ten questions took Su Can half an hour to solve, and for the next twenty questions, he also took only half an hour with remarkable speed

The problems before me, conquered by my densely written answers, encompass all the knowledge points of three years of middle school mathematics. In just under three hours, I have completely mastered them, akin to how all the gamers in "World of Warcraft" are still lingering at level 70 while I have already reached level 80, wandering around in top-tier equipment. This is what is referred to as transcendence.

Su Can briefly reviewed the Chinese and English subjects, and many familiar concepts suddenly came to mind. The articles that required memorization in Chinese appeared both endearing and familiar to him, and he could grasp them at a glance. However, he estimated that it would be impossible for him to recite them word for word. Therefore, he actively chose to forgo that aspect of memorization. Nevertheless, when it came to word choice and sentence construction, as well as filling in phrases for some of Lu Xun's short sentences, analyzing articles, and determining the subject, predicate, object, and modifiers of sentences, these were indeed Su Can's strengths, and he handled them with ease.

Fortunately, there is still one more day of school tomorrow, during which he can borrow the reference answers to verify his exam results.

As night gradually deepened, my parents passed by the windowsill several times along the way. Seeing Su Can, who was engrossed in calculations, they would smile knowingly.

Time is pressing now, and I hope that within the next three days... it is still possible.

In the next twenty questions, Su Can only took twenty minutes based on his speed

By 2009, English was no longer a stumbling block for him, especially since his own company had foreign joint ventures. Su Can was also able to understand spoken English without any issues. The most crucial aspect of middle school English in 1998 was the accumulation of vocabulary and the mastery of some basic grammar. Therefore, fortunately, these elements from middle school were not difficult for Su Can, although he still needed to review and consolidate the entire vocabulary list.

The lack of a solid foundation was a significant issue in my past. Now that I have revived, I have completely transformed the experiences of my first half of life into my foundation. It is now time to grow a vibrant, flourishing, and dense tree upon this substantial foundation

However, life must go on. If God truly exists, then His allowing Himself to reincarnate once again is probably not intended to deepen the impression of a painful life; otherwise, that old man would be rather bored

To speak frankly, the middle school exercises at that time were somewhat more difficult than those later on, while the difficulty of high school exercises increased to a new level. The higher mathematics involved during university, some exercises would likely be challenging even for professors at the third-rate university where Su Can studied. Now, returning to the process of solving problems, Su Can has gradually mastered the formulas. Having become accustomed to a chaotic array of marketing and sales tasks, he finds elementary mathematics to be remarkably clear, with an unprecedented clarity of thought.

He lacks confidence

After failing the high school entrance examination, the disappointment of his parents and the expressions of those around him are vividly etched in his mind. These memories, once sealed away, are now so clear, burning in Su Can's heart. He no longer wishes to repeat the same mistakes or endure the same experiences. In this short period, he aims to change the sorrowful events of eleven years ago and alter his destined fate

It is somewhat amusing to think that in 2009, there was an abundance of novels about time travel and rebirth, whether they were online novels or traditional published works. However, they all share a commonality: those who travel through time or are reborn either come from prestigious official families, hold significant positions, or seize business opportunities to achieve cross-era development, thereby earning their first pot of gold from the waves of the times. Otherwise, they might as well run far away to another dynasty to wreak havoc on foreign tribes and stabilize the realm.

Spreading out the set of photocopied mathematics exercises from Dong Qingyun, Su Can understood that what was most important for him now was to have a systematic grasp and familiarity with the knowledge from three years of junior high school, which had long become vague in his memory. Since this set of one hundred mathematics problems is currently the most difficult collection of junior high school mathematics exercises, if he could thoroughly attempt this set of problems, then even when facing the high school entrance examination, wouldn't it be akin to handling it with ease?
