I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 107 Even if Iron Man came, he'd still turn into molten iron!

Chen Zhou took a deep breath, finding it hard to accept this bizarre fact for a moment.

But thinking about it carefully, he probably only reads borderline novels at most.

But Jiang Yutong was the one who wrote it.

Which of these two will lead to their demise if discovered? The answer should be obvious, right?
He seemed to have subtly grasped the class monitor's weakness.

When Chen Zhou returned from the restroom, he glanced at Jiang Yutong and confirmed that she was designing the outline for her new book.

Back in his seat, he pondered carefully.

Jiang Yutong definitely knew that he was reading the book "I'm a Male Actor in Tokyo".

Because I added Jiang Yutong and Bai Taoda on QQ, which is the same QQ account.

No wonder she said she was her fan when she used the "Insightful Insight" skill before.

But now, the situation has reversed.

Chen Zhou knew Bai Tao's true identity, but she didn't, and she planned to play along with him every day.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but smile slightly.

Doesn't that create a sense of immersion?

Tonight's plot is going to be very interesting.

Since the class monitor had kept it a secret for so long, Chen Zhou decided to pull some tricks to severely punish Jiang Yutong.

After stretching, Chen Zhou prepared to go to sleep.

But just then, Lin Xiaomeng brought over the math homework, preparing to distribute it to each group.

Upon seeing her expression, Chen Zhou was immediately shocked.

After two days apart, Lin Xiaomeng looked as if all her yang energy had been drained away. Her face was as white as paper, her eyes were surrounded by dark circles, and even her drooping braids looked listless.

Looking at her like this, Chen Zhou felt that she was about to suddenly die in class at any moment.

So weak, how many times did you mine for gold this weekend at home?

The mine shaft is about to collapse!
Chen Zhou immediately threw out a [Insightful Insight]:
[Lin Xiaomeng: Does the airplane learning method actually work? I tried it seventeen times this weekend, but I feel weaker and weaker.]

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou was shocked.

Seventeen times in two days?
Even if Iron Man came, he'd be reduced to molten iron!

Do you really think your garden is made of steel, and you don't feel any pain in chiseling it like this?

Chen Zhou sighed, realizing that this whole affair was ultimately his fault. After a moment's thought, he walked over to Lin Xiaomeng, who was handing out homework, and slowly said:
"Hey, class representative, there's something I want to talk to you about."

She looked up, and the pupils behind her round-framed glasses flickered, like a camera lens that had lost focus:

"What's the matter?"

Chen Zhou pointed outside the classroom:
"Go out and talk."

Lin Xiaomeng nodded weakly and followed Chen Zhou outside the classroom.

Seeing that no one was around, Chen Zhou pursed his lips. Although he felt a little embarrassed to speak, he decided to tell the truth:

“That class monitor, I actually knew a long time ago that you were reading my diary.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng's pupils contracted, and her lips trembled as she squeezed out a sentence:

"What? You knew all along..."

Chen Zhou nodded and said:

"So the later entries in the diary were actually fabricated by me."

Lin Xiaomeng took two steps back, saying in disbelief:

"The same applies to the airplane learning method..."

Chen Zhou scratched his head, his tone slightly embarrassed:
"Yes, I wrote that because I was angry and wanted to prank you. Please don't believe it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng's face showed a hint of shame and indignation.

It was obvious that Chen Zhou had noticed her expression and deduced that she was also trying the airplane learning method, which was why he revealed the truth to her.

She's a young, unmarried woman, considered one of the prettiest girls in her class, and now Chen Zhou knows about this...

Lin Xiaomeng couldn't accept it for a moment.

She murmured to herself:

"You know, you know everything, ahhh, I can't live like this anymore!!!"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xiaomeng's tears flowed like a burst dam. She turned around abruptly and ran towards the classroom, her disheveled braids swinging wildly behind her.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

Through his keen insight, he also learned what Lin Xiaomeng was thinking.

But there's nothing she can do; the mental fortitude of this naive young girl is definitely no match for that of a rough and uncultured man like him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily believed in the so-called airplane learning method.

Therefore, she can only heal these wounds in her life on her own.

Anyway, as long as we stop forcibly improving qualifications, at least it won't harm my health.

With that thought in mind, he shook his head and went back to class.

However, the scene of Lin Xiaomeng chatting with Chen Zhou and then running back to the classroom crying was witnessed by the whole class.

Many people are discussing this:
"What happened? Why did Chen Zhou make the class representative cry?"

"That despicable Chen thief dared to make my little Meng cry! I swear I will never forgive him!"

"..."

Lin Xiaomeng, as one of the "Three Golden Flowers," is quite popular in the class.

Chen Zhou also noticed the discussions in the class, frowned slightly, sighed, and prepared to walk to his seat.

But suddenly, a burning gaze locked onto him.

Chen Zhou turned to look and saw Fei Lingling glaring at him with dead fish eyes.

Without even thinking, I threw out the "Insightful Insight" skill:
[Fei Lingling: Chen Zhou, you're finished for daring to make my beloved Mengmeng cry! I'm going to find a whole truckload of bread-shaped buns to beat you up after school!]

Female bronze medalists are truly terrifying!
But what's with this truckload of bread people?

Chen Zhou sighed softly and returned to his seat.

Li Bin immediately came over, looking like he was watching a melon seed, and asked:
"Elbow, what did you say to the class representative? Why did you make her cry?"

Chen Zhou said frankly:
"She asked me why her math skills weren't improving."

Li Bin hummed in agreement twice and asked:
"And then, what did you say back?"

Chen Zhou stroked his chin and said calmly:

I said, 'If you're bad, practice more!'

Li Bin cursed and looked at Lin Xiaomeng, who was sobbing with her head on the table:
"She's someone who puts all her energy into studying. No wonder she cried like that when you said that about her."

Chen Zhou shrugged, choosing not to tell Li Bin the truth.

Let's save Lin Xiaomeng some face.

Despite the hostile stares of some people, Chen Zhou finally made it to class.

Two history classes.

Chen Hui, full of energy and spirit, slung her little bee over her shoulder and strode onto the podium, addressing the audience below:
"Class, a new week, a new look! Have you prepared for last week's memorization assignment?"

When asked a question, the following people answered in unison:

"No~~"

Chen Hui said, as if it were commonplace:
"Good, now let's do the back massage!"

As she spoke, she took out her exclusive martial soul:

Random number generator!

Looking at the suffocatingly random numbers, the whole class couldn't help but let out a wail.

Li Bin used this time to quickly flip through his history book and begin memorizing the recitation assignment given the previous week.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that most of them, like himself, had a bit of a foot fetish.

Cramming at the last minute.

Fortunately, he managed to read everything he needed to read while studying with Jiang Xia at the bookstore the day before yesterday.

Even if Chen Hui were to examine him, he wouldn't be in excruciating pain; he would still be able to enjoy it while struggling slightly.

But seemingly sensing Chen Zhou's gaze, Chen Hui smiled slightly, picked up the small microphone, and said:
"But today, there's one student I absolutely have to order from..."

Upon hearing this, the classroom instantly fell silent, so quiet that the hum of the ceiling fan could be heard.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that Chen Hui would mention their names the next second.

Seeing the students' panicked expressions, Chen Hui paused slightly before speaking:

"Chen Zhou!"

Chen Zhou twitched his lips, listening to the burst of laughter from the whole class explode in his ears like a thunderclap.

Especially that bitch Fei Lingling, she laughed louder than anyone else, as if she had gotten her revenge.

But Chen Zhou remained completely calm.

After all, the genius is on the left, the madman is on the right, and he is in the middle.

He is the emperor!

He won't be defeated so easily!
Soon, Chen Zhou also joined Li Bin's last-minute cramming team.

He spread the history book out like a pancake, his fingertips sweeping back and forth over the chapter on the An Lushan Rebellion.

Fortunately, Chen Hui still had some conscience and didn't conduct a spot check on Chen Zhou first, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot.

Of course, he wasn't without a backup plan.

If you really can't memorize it all, then you'll have to use his secret weapon.

Dark blue, add some! !

A golden panel appeared in front of Chen Zhou:

[High School History Level 1]

"Required Course 1 - Outline of Chinese History, Level 1-2: 200 Imperial Majesty"

"Required Course - Outline of Foreign History, Level 1-2: 300 Imperial Majesty"

"Elective Compulsory Course 1 - National System and Social Governance, Level 1-2: 150 Imperial Prestige"

"Elective Compulsory Course 1 - Economics and Social Life, Level 1-2: 50 Imperial Prestige"

"Elective Compulsory Course 3 - Cultural Exchange and Dissemination, Level 1-2: 150 Imperial Prestige"

Hey! You know what?

Judging from the Imperial Prestige stats, I really am not very good at history.

Chen Zhou was two to three hundred points short of leveling up in both of the two most important required courses.

Among the electives, only "Economics and Social Life" is barely passable, approaching level 2.

Chen Zhou opened the system and glanced at the remaining Imperial Might:
[Imperial Might: 1680]

He suddenly slapped his forehead.

Blanch! I almost forgot!

He had long since completed the difficult task of subduing the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult and received a reward of one thousand imperial prestige.

Looking at the nearly two thousand imperial guards, Chen Zhou felt the following:

I've never fought such a rich battle in my entire life!
Chen Zhou simply closed the outline of Chinese history on the table.

Seeing this, Li Bin assumed that he was planning to give up.

That's human nature; when Chen Zhou closed the book, Li Bin lost interest in reciting it.

What he was thinking was:

"I'm one point ahead of Elbow in history, so if he doesn't memorize it, what's the point of me memorizing it?"

Thinking that randomness might not necessarily happen to him, Li Bin left the history book spread out on the table and began to calmly prepare himself.

However, Chen Zhou was unaware of Li Bin's thoughts at this moment; otherwise, he would have rolled his eyes and said:
"Bin, can you compare to me?"

At this moment, Chen Zhou was pondering how to distribute the remaining imperial power.

Currently, all three of my attributes have reached 40 points. To further improve them, each point will require 500 Royal Might.

Although I have a lot of Imperial Might items, it's really just a drop in the ocean when it comes to improving my attributes. So the focus should be on improving my academic subjects.

With the aim of achieving outstanding results in the monthly history exam and thus escaping Chen Hui's spot checks, Chen Zhou decided to directly upgrade all level 1 history modules to level 2.

"Upgrade all Level 1 modules in high school history!"

The system notification came quickly:
[Would you like to consume 850 Imperial Prestige to upgrade the Outline of Chinese History, Outline of Foreign History, National System and Social Governance, and Cultural Exchange and Dissemination to level 2?]

Chen Zhou answered affirmatively:

"I'm certain and certain, so let my history push my limits!"

In an instant, a golden light flashed in Chen Zhou's eyes.

The history textbook in his hand moved on its own without any wind, and the yellowed pages seemed to transform into streams of light that entered Chen Zhou's eyes.

He saw Shang Yang standing atop the city wall of Xianyang, holding bamboo slips in his hand, the bronze signboard bearing the inscription "Establish trust by standing on a wooden pole" gleaming coldly in the blazing sun.

In the blink of an eye, the scene shifts to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, where the ribbons of flying apsaras and the camel bells of passing caravans intertwine in the murals to create a magnificent chapter of the Silk Road.

Deeper still, the oracle bone script burned cracks into the tortoise shell, while the taotie pattern on bronze artifacts exhales the winds and clouds of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The steam of the Industrial Revolution, carrying Manchester's cotton wool, soared into the sky, while the mushroom cloud of the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded simultaneously with the rubble of the falling Berlin Wall.

These images, like scrambled pieces of a time puzzle, automatically reassembled into a complete historical river in Chen Zhou's mind.

He suddenly felt like I had gone bald and become stronger.

In class, Chen Hui continued to use the random method, calling on students one by one to answer questions.

Soon, the number was randomly generated again, and it came up to 38.

Li Bin's face turned pale, and he cried out weakly:

"It was me last time, why is it me again this time?"

Chen Zhou smiled gently:

"This must be a blessing from fate."

Li Bin scoffed:
"Elbow, don't be a pot calling the kettle black. You're just as lazy and useless as anyone else, aren't you?"

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:

"Bin, you're completely wrong. I feel incredibly strong right now!"

Li Bin snorted lightly, not believing it in his heart, thinking that Chen Zhou was just being stubborn before his death.

But now he has to go first.

Li Bin slowly stood up, learning from his previous experience of being randomly checked, and chose to wait for the questions to come out.

Chen Hui looked at Li Bin and asked:
"In the Tang Dynasty's Three Departments and Six Ministries system, how did the Secretariat's power of rejection reflect the wisdom of centralized power?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bin's face turned pale.

Oh no, he's seen this question but hasn't memorized it yet.

So Li Bin could only lower his head and say:
"This... I forgot about this..."

Chen Hui squinted her eyes:

"Can't answer any of them?"

Li Bin's body trembled:

"I can answer, but only a little bit."

Chen Hui listened with her eyes half-closed:

"Then let's answer?"

Li Bin forced himself to ramble on.

Chen Hui stood on the podium, quietly watching him perform.

Li Bin, at a loss for words, awkwardly touched his nose and said:
"Teacher, that's all I know."

Chen Hui chuckled and said:
"I don't think you know anything at all?"

Li Bin kept his head down and remained silent, awaiting his punishment.

Chen Hui shook her head and said:
"Copy that question twenty times. If you still can't answer it next time, copy it fifty times!"

Li Bin wanted to cry but had no tears:

"Good teacher."

Li Bin sat down dejectedly, utterly defeated. He had copied an answer of nearly two or three hundred words twenty times.

It would be good if I could finish copying it in two days.

At this moment, Chen Hui's gaze shifted from Li Bin to Chen Zhou, and she chuckled softly.

"Last one, please welcome Chen Zhou."

Chen Zhou slowly stood up, meeting Chen Hui's gaze, and then said:

"Teacher, I have finished memorizing the history of the Tang Dynasty. I want to try randomly testing the entire textbook."

At that moment, he reached out and grabbed at the air, attempting to refine the five history textbooks in an instant.

Upon hearing this, the entire class gasped so hard it nearly lifted the roof off.

The discussion continued unabated:
"No, how could Chen Zhou dare? That covers the entire textbook..."

"Holy crap! This really is Jenny Mashdo's sister, Jenny Mayon!"

"Does he have some kind of SM tendency, and feel that failing the last test wasn't enough, and he wants to push the history teacher's limits again?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out..."

"..."

Hearing Chen Zhou's outrageous request, Chen Hui couldn't help but laugh in anger.

In front of her, Chen Laomo, it was one thing not to kneel down and beg for mercy, but to be so stubborn.

If she doesn't interrogate Chen Zhou until his back and knees are weak, she'll change her surname to Chen Zhou's!
"Since you've put it that way, it would be too unreasonable for a teacher to refuse."

"The first one to undergo a full textbook inspection!"

Chen Hui approached Chen Zhou, looked up at him, and asked:

Briefly describe the essential differences between Athenian democracy in ancient Greece and the rule of law in ancient Rome!

In an instant, two illusions exploded in Chen Zhou's eyes:

The left eye is that of a debater holding a torch in the Athenian Assembly, while the right eye is that of a slave copying the articles of the Twelve Tables.

He said slowly:
“Athenian democracy is the direct rule of the civic community, relying on identity and ethical consensus; Roman rule of law is the rule of order achieved through law, emphasizing institutional norms and utilitarian effectiveness.”

As Chen Zhou spoke, the previously noisy classroom gradually quieted down.

All eyes were on Chen Zhou, watching his bangs sway in the wind.

???

Li Bin slowly typed out a question mark.

Dude, you really know how to do that?!
He recalled the scene where he saw Chen Zhou put down his book, and then he also put down his book.

A wave of sorrow washed over Li Bin.

So it turns out Zhouzi wasn't lying to him; he really does know how!

Chen Hui was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Chen Zhou could actually answer the question.

This question was quite difficult; it wasn't in the book, but rather something she mentioned in her class notes.

"The second question."

Chen Hui took a deep breath and said:
"Compare the different impacts of the two industrial revolutions on Chinese society!"

Chen Zhou answered slowly and deliberately:

"The first industrial revolution was the impact of commodity exports that opened China's doors; the second industrial revolution was the infiltration of capital exports during the frenzy of partitioning."

Chen Zhou answered logically, but what was shocking was that he didn't think much before answering; the answer just came out.

Clearly, he was already fully aware of these issues.

but……

but……

Didn't he fail the exam at the beginning of the semester?

Is this a failing grade?

Lin Xiaomeng and Liu Xiaoxiao, who have always been close friends and classmates, exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Although they were not unable to answer these two questions, even if they could, it would take them a long time to organize their answers.

It's absolutely impossible for someone like Chen Zhou to do it so effortlessly.

Zhou Xinglun also looked like he'd seen a ghost. Looking at the confident Chen Zhou, he whispered to the adoring Bai Qianqian:
"My brother Zhou has really evolved! He scored two points lower than me on the first day of school just a few days ago..."

Bai Qianqian twisted the hem of her clothes and said affirmatively:

"That's...that's amazing."

Seeing that Chen Zhou had answered two questions correctly in a row, Chen Hui refused to believe it and continued to increase the difficulty by asking:
"Using the theory of national governance from elective compulsory course 1, analyze the essential differences in power distribution between the Western Zhou enfeoffment system and the American federal system!"

This kind of question would never be on a regular exam.

In other words, it wasn't in the book, and she only mentioned it briefly in class, without asking students to take notes.

However, if one has a solid foundation in history, the answer to this question can be found.

But Chen Zhou only thought for a moment before continuing to answer:
"I. Institutional basis: The Western Zhou enfeoffment system was a 'family-based' governance system based on patriarchal blood ties; the American federal system was a 'composite sovereignty' governance system based on constitutional contracts."

"Second, the source of power: the sovereignty of the Western Zhou enfeoffment system originated from the hereditary monopoly of 'divine right of kings'; the sovereignty of the American federal system originated from the constitutional division of 'people's authorization'."

"Third, the relationship between the central government and local governments: The enfeoffment system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was a tributary relationship of 'nominal unity - actual separatism'; the federal system of the United States is a legally defined separation of powers relationship of 'constitutional definition - mutual checks and balances'."

"..."

Just as Chen Hui had thought, 99% of the students were completely baffled by this question.

When did the textbook compare the differences between the Western Zhou feudal system and the American federal system?

Only a few students who paid close attention in class had some recollection of the lesson, and even then, it only went as far as:
The teacher did mention it, but what is this nonsense? They didn't ask us to take notes. How could you, Chen Zhou, know this?
Several history whizzes looked completely bewildered.

Are you cheating?
Jiang Yutong turned around in surprise, stared at Chen Zhou's calm and composed face, and nodded secretly.

Great, we have new material.

Lin Xiaomeng looked utterly hopeless. It was bad enough that she had been surpassed in math, but was she going to be surpassed in her strongest subject, history, as well?

She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking to herself:
"Chen Zhou, are you out of your mind? Why are you always trying to outpace me?"

And only now did Chen Hui finally confirm one thing.

Chen Zhou is really good at this.

But even a teacher like Chen Hui couldn't help but wonder at this moment.

With such strong abilities, why did you fail the entrance exam?
Or perhaps it was brought up because of the two-day weekend holiday?

The latter is obviously impossible.

That leaves only the answer mentioned above, which makes the question even more pointed.

Why did Chen Zhou fail the exam? Was he deliberately slacking off or hiding his true abilities?

If it's intentional sabotage, what about the other subjects?
If you were hiding your strength, why did you reveal it today?

In that instant, countless questions flashed through Chen Hui's mind, and the last possibility emerged in her head.

Could it be——

Is Chen Zhou trying to get her attention this way?
In other words, Chen Zhou has a crush on him?
The thought of this possibility sent shivers down Chen Hui's spine, and she imagined herself being punished.

No, this is a slide that is absolutely not allowed to be touched.

I must have a serious talk with Chen Zhou later.

Thinking of this, Chen Hui quickly asked Chen Zhou to sit down, then returned to the podium, coughed lightly, and said to cover her emotions:
"Class, Chen Zhou answered these questions very well, especially the last one. I've covered it before, but I didn't ask you to take notes. Some of you might remember it..."

"In short, it's really great that you were able to answer all the questions. I hope everyone can learn from Chen Zhou."

At this point, Chen Hui looked at Chen Zhou and saw him smiling at her, which made her legs go weak.

For some reason, she felt that there was an unspeakable meaning in Chen Zhou's smile.

Being secretly admired by students...

Chen Hui's heart was filled with only sorrow:

Damn it, if there's a next life, I'd rather be a construction worker than a stinky schoolteacher.
