You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 1 Ming Jing
"Virtue, broad-mindedness, diligence, and agility"

Ming Jing put down the pen in his hand, folded up the math answer sheet and test paper with simple and sloppy writing in front of him and put them aside. He lay down on the table bored, pulled the mask on his face that was already wet with water vapor, and breathed in a breath of fresh air.

Just over a month ago, in early April 2020, Wuhan, the city of rivers, had just resumed transportation with the outside world, and high schools had also resumed classes one after another. Mingjing's No. 4 Middle School Affiliated to South China Normal University, as the leader of Jiangcheng middle schools, was of course at the forefront.

Summer had not yet truly arrived in Jiangcheng at the end of May, but the evening breeze blowing in from the window was already a bit warm, and having to wear a mask to attend class was even more torturous.

Fortunately, he only spent half of the time to finish the math test handed out during the evening study session, so he could use the remaining half of the time to be lazy.

After this evening self-study class, it will be the weekend and good days are about to come.

Ming Jing glanced sideways at the person beside him and saw that his deskmate had indeed filled out his answer sheet. Compared with Ming Jing's simple and sloppy paper, his deskmate's was much neater, with every line and column being written in a very orderly manner.

On the left side of the test paper is written the name of my deskmate - Wang Hao

But unlike Mingjing who was bored, his deskmate had something to do. He was lying on the table, looking at the mobile phone on his lap.

On the mobile phone screen, several little characters are chasing and fighting each other. It should be a League of Legends game.

"What the hell?" Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, glanced at the teacher sitting on the podium, and then turned his head away, "Are you crazy?"

The No. 1 Affiliated High School of South China Normal University is different from other top high schools. It focuses on freedom and gives students a lot of free space and more holidays. However, playing with mobile phones during evening self-study is definitely a big problem.

"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise." Wang Hao replied softly, "Today is a critical day!"

Since he had nothing to do, Ming Jing simply turned his head and looked down as well, "Why is it so crucial?"

Ming Jing really didn't know why it was so important, because he had never played the game League of Legends, let alone cared about the game.

Of course, he still plays games quite a bit, but he prefers to play relatively casual games like Hearthstone or Civilization, simply to change his mind after studying.

But my deskmate Wang Hao seemed to be having a good time - at least that's what he boasted about.

Wang Hao felt Ming Jing's gaze and moved his phone a little closer between the two of them, saying, "A China-Korea showdown. Do you know how significant a China-Korea showdown is?"

"I have a general understanding." Ming Jing nodded.

Mingjing has never played League of Legends, but he still has some knowledge about it because he has a cousin who is a professional League of Legends player and is very famous.

Back then, his brother was always anti-Korean, and the online publicity was a hot topic.

I heard he didn't win much.

At this moment, Wang Hao's phone displayed the names of two teams on both sides: TES on one side and DWG on the other.

At this moment, the game seemed to have come to an end. All the heroes from both sides were fighting for a white flying dragon on a river.

Ming Jing didn't understand, so he simply asked, "How do you say it, can you win?"

"The chances are great." Wang Hao whispered with a hint of excitement, "Let's watch Ah Shui perform!"

Ah Shui seemed like a familiar name, but Ming Jing didn't ask who it was, he just continued watching.

In the picture, all kinds of dazzling and incomprehensible skills were flying back and forth. Several DWG players on the right rushed forward, and saw that a black archer who was standing a little forward had his health bar emptied in an instant, becoming the first dead soul in the team battle.

Wang Hao's expression changed immediately.

Afterwards, DWG continued to pursue the victory, seeming to want to win the team battle.

But in the subsequent team battle, someone from TES stood up again. A black phantom switched positions and attacked back and forth, sometimes appearing on the left and sometimes on the right, continuously harvesting the remaining blood, and actually forced the team battle back!

"Did they win?" Ming Jing tilted his head and asked, "This Knight is quite impressive. Is he Ah Shui?"

Wang Hao scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

After this wave, the balance of victory seemed to have begun to tilt towards TES. Although DWG launched several powerful counterattacks and focused fire on the black archer twice, it did not help them win the team battle. TES pushed forward several waves and won the game.

"We beat the Korean team already?" Mingjing asked quietly. "It doesn't seem as difficult as they said before. And who is this black archer? Why does he keep dying?"

"It's definitely not difficult." Wang Hao's eyebrows were dancing with joy. "The Korean team is not doing well now. They haven't made it to the finals in the past two years. They are only in the third division."

"Really?" Ming Jing tilted his head. "Then why do I think you're quite nervous?"

"Even if I tell you, you won't understand. You've never played League of Legends." Wang Hao didn't know what to say for a moment. "How about you play next when we get home tonight, and we can play a couple of games. We have tomorrow off anyway."

At this time, Mingjing's expression suddenly changed. He sat up straight, opened his paper and began to check it.

"Why are you like this every time I ask you to play?" Wang Hao continued to persuade him earnestly, "Are you really not going to play? It will be fun. I think you should be able to play well. You are usually so smart."

In a place like the No. 1 Affiliated High School of South China Normal University, there is no shortage of academic elites. Entering this school is like having one foot in the gate of a 211 university, and there is no upper limit.

Especially the Dacheng class where the two of them are, this class is the best even in the No. 1 Affiliated High School of South China Normal University. The students come here for the competition, and their goal is directly set on the top 5 universities in the country.

But Wang Hao also knew that among the top students, there are nerds and truly smart people. Some of them have been following the Hengshui model since childhood, studying for ten years just for exams, and came here with great difficulty, while some people are simply extremely talented and came here without much effort.

Just like in the King of Glory, there are people who play Malphite and Ornn and people who play Fiora and Shen in the top lane.

Ming Jing is definitely the latter. He probably spends the shortest time studying in the class and is careless, but he can still sit firmly in the first echelon of the class. His calculation ability is like he has a calculator in his head.

This kind of person will do anything well.

At this time, the smart man Ming Jing turned his head expressionlessly and looked behind Wang Hao.

Wang Hao suddenly realized something, his face changed abruptly, and he subconsciously stuffed his phone into the desk.

But a big hand reached out first and clamped his wrist.

"Hey, you're already having fun? Have you finished your test?" Zheng Hu, the part-time math teacher, sneered, "Have you checked it?"

Of course, there was no such thing as an inspection, but Wang Hao still replied stubbornly, "I've checked it, it's quite simple."

"Okay, that's easy, right?" the head teacher said as he picked up Wang Hao's phone. "Bring it up to me for correction. If you deduct one point, you can come back for the phone during summer vacation."

Wang Hao's face immediately turned ugly.

He finished the test paper in no time and didn't even have time to check it. Who can guarantee that he wouldn't lose points?

Ming Jing on the side pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to laugh, for fear of being implicated.

Unexpectedly, the teacher was ruthless and continued, "And you, Mingjing, bring yours up too."

The head teacher's red pen scribbled across their answer sheets, ticking them off blindly. Ming Jing's paper was sloppily written, but every mark counted, and the teacher frowned and gave him full marks. Wang Hao's was even more impeccable, his paper neatly written, with every detail meticulously addressed.

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Seeing these two full-mark test papers, Zheng Hu was helpless and didn't know what to say.

This test paper is the final exam paper for the first year of high school in the previous year. Although it is not as difficult as the competition, the big questions at the end are definitely beyond the scope for first year students.
"Come to me after evening study to ask for my phone." The teacher had no choice but to fulfill his promise, but he still said earnestly: "The provincial competition is only a month away, don't make it too much. Even if you know what's going on, don't affect others."

The students in the Dacheng class come here for the purpose of competition. Their main subjects are mathematics and physics. For example, Wang Hao is an absolute seed player in the mathematics competition. He has already stepped into the gate of Peking University and Tsinghua University, and even has the opportunity to represent the country in the International Olympiad.

Mingjing's mathematical talent is even better. Zheng Hu has taught mathematics for so many years at the No. 1 Affiliated High School of South China Normal University, which is ranked first in the country. He can only describe Mingjing as a genius. But it is a pity that this person's learning attitude is always not correct, which is really frustrating.

"Mine, mine." Wang Hao admitted his mistake honestly, "I won't look at it again next time."

Seeing the two of them return to their seats and start whispering again, the teacher lowered his head again.

The post-match MVP settlement interface was playing on Wang Hao’s mobile phone screen, which was still on.

Left-handed LeBron James won the MVP with an amazing record of 9-0-7.

Yo, TES won as expected, not bad.
The evening self-study session was not that long. After the bell rang, Mingjing stuffed his weekend homework into his schoolbag, slung it over one shoulder, and prepared to leave.

On the way out of school, Ming Jing took out his mobile phone and turned it on, planning to play a few games of Hearthstone on the way home.

He is currently ranked over 500th in the national legend rank. If he plays seriously on the weekends, he should be able to break into the top 100.

On the side, Wang Hao came over again and patted Ming Jing on the back, "Seriously, let's play together."

"I feel like playing this kind of game is very tiring. I have to keep operating it. I have never played this kind of game before. Isn't this asking for trouble?" Ming Jing still refused as usual.

"Small problem!" Wang Hao patted his chest. "Brother, a Diamond expert will guide you. What are you afraid of? Do you understand the value of reaching Diamond 1 in a solo AD carry?"

"don't know."

".Hey, just play the next one and just play with your buddies, okay? It's definitely more fun than Hearthstone."

A horn sounded, and an old Hyundai stopped in front of the two people.

During this special period, the school has specially reminded students to minimize the use of public transportation, so Mingjing's children are picked up and dropped off by their parents.

"Okay, then I'll go home and take a look." Ming Jing smiled, waved to his deskmate, opened the door, got in the car, and disappeared into the night.

When he got home, his mother had already heated up the food, so Mingjing started eating as soon as he got to the table.

My mother had nothing to do, so she sat on the other side of the table and asked attentively, "How are you feeling today? Are you feeling well? If you have a fever, please tell me right away."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ming Jing took two bites of rice. "I wish I had a fever and was resting at home. It's too hot to wear a mask and go to class."

My mother was speechless now.

Ever since Mingjing entered high school, almost everything in the family has revolved around Mingjing's studies.

Especially now that the math competition is approaching.

If I can get good results in this year's competition, I won't even have to take the college entrance examination.

But the parents couldn't help either, because they both knew that they couldn't control their son.

Mingjing's learning style is somewhat different from that of other students. Other students with good grades can actually gain positive feedback from their studies, so they can happily immerse themselves in studying and practicing exercises, and then their personal level will continue to improve, thus forming a virtuous circle.

But Mingjing is different. He has never been interested in learning, and it is even less likely that he will gain any positive or negative feedback from learning. Apart from school every day, he rarely takes the initiative to study in his free time. If too much pressure is put on him and he is asked to practice questions intensively, his grades will only go down instead of up.

You have to let him arrange his time by himself. When he is tired, he can watch videos or play games. After he is in good condition, his grades will be stable.

The reason why he was able to enter the best class in the top 1 middle school in the country was purely because of his strong ability. He could learn twice with half the effort. He was the type of person who would not be happy to eat even if Wenquxing rushed to feed him.

Since I was a child, my parents have had a lot of headaches because of this matter.

But fortunately, although Mingjing likes to play, he is actually quite sensible and knows when to stop.

The lockdown came suddenly some time ago. Everyone was at home and couldn’t go to school, and there were not even online classes. Everyone’s grades were affected to some extent, but Mingjing was still like nothing happened. He just studied at home occasionally, and when he returned to school and took the exam, his ranking actually went up a lot!
If you want Mingjing to improve his academic performance, instead of doing more exercises, you should find a better way to relax.

In other words, find something that really interests him.

My parents are relatively open-minded, and they don't think studying is the only way out.

After all, their eldest brother has a child who has become very successful in playing games and has a net worth of tens of millions, which is definitely not worse than Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Of course, there is no problem with learning as a universal alternative. After all, Mingjing does have this ability.

"Rest early after dinner and don't play too late."

"okay!"

After dinner, Mingjing washed the dishes himself, then returned to his room and sat in front of the computer.

He actually played quite a lot of games, but mostly for entertainment.

I used to play Civilization VI pretty well. Strategy games aren't stressful and are very relaxing to play. However, a game of this kind takes too long, and often a weekend is completely finished after just one session. It's really a bit hard to handle.

Hearthstone is better. Mingjing's excellent calculation ability can be well utilized, allowing him to reach the top of the rankings with just a little thinking.

However, the amount of calculation required for this game is actually not that great. The more he plays, the simpler it becomes. After he became proficient in it, he gradually became a little bored.

Really need to find a new game to play.

Now, how about trying League of Legends?

A new book is here, brothers. I thought a lot before starting this book, but I couldn’t think of any good ideas, so I might as well try the unsystematic genius flow.

Compared to the brain-hole system, the excitement of no system may be lower, but the sense of reality and immersion will be much better.

Although the protagonist is a newcomer who has never played games, the pace I set will be very fast. There will be no class competitions or Internet cafe competitions. The protagonist will soon become a professional, after all, he is a genius.

Everyone, please watch patiently.

Finally, please read the new book!
