Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Zhang Chaoqiang learned that among the top ten outstanding children, four came from wealthy families, three had parents who were prominent figures in various fields, and three had parents who were martial artists.

To comfort Zhang Chaoqiang, the parents of the children who received the "Outstanding Child" award offered some tangible rewards.

This actual reward is enough to offset his tuition fees for kindergarten over the past two years.

Thus, Zhang Chaoqiang earned back all the tuition fees for the three years.

"Don't be discouraged, Chaoqiang! In Mom's eyes, you are the best!"

"Honey, I think I know why my dad wanted to whip me with a belt the moment he saw me back then. If I were even half as sensible as Chaoqiang, that old man would be laughing his head off!"

Today is the last year of the parents' garden party. Zhang Chaoqiang, as the focus of praise for the entire kindergarten, has become a model child for the kindergarten and even the surrounding area.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei are also hailed as model parents.

Oh no, I mean the parents of model children.

Zhang Chaoqiang was quite satisfied. Although his excellence could not completely dispel the strange looks they had of his parents, it could at least somewhat offset them.

Many parents even specifically sought advice from Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong on parenting methods, and some even paid to be invited to their homes as guests.

But after being rejected by his parents, Zhang Huolong uttered one of the few words that Zhang Chaoqiang considered valuable:

"Everyone is an individual, and my family's super learning methods may not be suitable for others."

Because he's a genius, he's very smart.

……

[Running] Completed, Maximum Physical Strength +2

Body 2.09/16

[Beginner Calligraphy Practice] Completed, Internal Organ Limit +2

[Advanced Calligraphy Practice]: Practice 500,000 characters of standard semi-cursive script, internal organ limit increased by 2.

By mid-May, Zhang Chaoqiang had completed these two milestones.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, I'm so envious of you! Your parents have so much time to spend with you!"

Tan Yue stared with her bright, watery eyes, her expression a mix of joy and sorrow, and suddenly spoke to Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Where are your parents?" Zhang Chaoqiang asked for the first time.

“They’re very busy.” Tan Yue lowered her head, then pointed into the distance in shock.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, look! There's a mouse over there!"

Squeak, squeak—Zhang Chaoqiang can easily detect the sound of mice even in a noisy environment.

"What does it say?"

It says: Peanuts are poisonous.

"what?"

Half a minute later, the rat, limping and vomiting blood, died.

"Amazing!"

"Shall we catch it and feed it to Xiaoju?"

Xiao Ju is the name Tan Yue gave to the calico cat in the pet room.

Xiaoju is afraid of mice.

"what?"

Tan Yue was now completely convinced that Zhang Chaoqiang could communicate with animals. In reality, it was simply a clever application of his "sensitive ears" and "basic perception."

Just now, I saw a rat house in the dark and damp drain. The rats' cries were weak. Putting it all together, the truth has nowhere to hide.

I chat with Tan Yue quite a bit every day. She doesn't have much to say to others. In kindergarten, Zhang Chaoqiang is her only close friend.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang did not need to speak deliberately; he completed the [Advanced Language Ability] today, gaining +0.2 to his spirit.

In the second semester of the third year of kindergarten, many people are already frantically preparing for their children's enrollment in primary school.

The parents of Yating Kindergarten have basically chosen suitable primary schools for their children in advance, either by paying for private primary schools or by using connections to get their children into top-ranked public primary schools in the city.

It's estimated that only Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue felt somewhat confused.

Zhang Chaoqiang learned that the top three primary schools in the city are Yadi Primary School, Tianan No.1 Primary School, and Yuhua Martial Arts School Affiliated Primary School.

The first one is private, while the other two are public.

According to his plan, Zhang Chaoqiang's first choice was the affiliated primary school of Yuhua Martial Arts School, because if he passed the entrance exam for junior high school, he would be given priority admission if he met the physical requirements.

Furthermore, Yuhua Martial Arts School has a history of nearly seventy years and has cultivated many powerful martial artists who have made contributions to the country.

Most importantly, if you attend the affiliated primary school, you will have special martial arts skills courses during your primary school years, which is a lot more opportunity than other primary schools, something that other schools do not have.

However, because it values ​​both academics and martial arts, its academic subjects are relatively weak, far inferior to the other two primary schools.

Academic subjects are also extremely important, especially in this era of rapid technological advancement.

Even if one lacks the ability to become a martial artist capable of fighting monsters with their bare hands, one can still cultivate their knowledge and spiritual level through liberal arts majors.

One can achieve synergy with their own brain by developing and piloting cutting-edge combat armor.

In layman's terms, it means piloting a battle suit; piloting a mech can achieve the same power as a top-tier martial artist.

However, the price of a single suit of armor, whether for research or purchase, is already astronomical.

It's true that the poor rely on mutations, while the rich rely on technology.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, which primary school do you want to go to?"

"And you?" Zhang Chaoqiang asked Tan Yue.

"You speak first!"

"Yuhua Martial Arts School Affiliated Primary School, what about you?"

Tan Yue tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "Yuhua Martial Arts School Affiliated Primary School."

"why?"

Why did Zhang Chaoqiang go there?

“If we don’t go to that primary school, we’ll have to find another one.”

"You talk like an adult..."

……

Before the Spring Festival, Zhang Chaoqiang reached the age of 6.

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were born in the same year, so they are almost 25 years old today.

What does it feel like to grow up? Zhang Huolong hasn't worn his bodysuit, leggings, and loafers in his wardrobe for a while.

He has given up betel nut, but he doesn't have the willpower to smoke cigarettes. He only smokes when he's upset and makes sure Zhang Chaoqiang and his wife don't inhale secondhand smoke.

Shen Qiangwei is in charge of managing and saving money. In less than three years, the family has saved nearly 8 yuan.

Not only Zhang Chaoqiang, but also Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei are growing.

……

On the eve of Chinese New Year, a family of three was happily preparing groceries and decorating their home for the holiday.

On the 28th of the lunar year, after a busy day of cleaning and putting up Spring Festival couplets, Shen Qiangwei received a text message on her phone that made the whole family jump for joy.

[To Ms. Shen: Due to Zhang Chaoqiang's excellent performance during kindergarten, we sincerely invite him to attend an entrance examination and trial training session at Yuhua Martial Arts School Affiliated Primary School, No. 1 Tianyun Road, on February 18th (the 2th day of the first lunar month). Successful candidates will be eligible for admission. We look forward to your arrival.]

Chapter 10 Talent Synthesis [Beast Scent Sense]

Earth year 1006.

This year's Spring Festival was particularly special. On New Year's Eve, a grand fireworks display lasted for half an hour in the river in the city center.

Zhang Chaoqiang heard that those fireworks were worth at least several million.

On New Year's Eve, Earth also needs to stay up all night, symbolizing the hope that the coming year will be better and better.

I cooked a big pot of food and put it on the table.

Yes, it's a big pot of food.

"Honey, this is amazing! You guys have to try my new Poon Choi!"

Shen Qiangwei originally wanted to imitate the famous Poon Choi cooking method, cooking all the dishes separately and piling them together.

This way, the flavors won't mix too much, and the dish will also incorporate the tastes of other dishes.

But the way Zhang Chaoqiang frowned already told Shen Qiangwei the answer.

"It's delicious! Hurry up and start eating, or your dad will eat it all! And there's your favorite poached chicken too..."

"Uh-huh……"

Zhang Chaoqiang glanced at his father, who was enjoying his meal and occasionally taking a sip of beer, looking quite content.

As Zhang Chao put the poached chicken into his mouth, the strong fishy and shrimpy smell filled his mouth. He forced himself to endure it and swallowed it with great difficulty.

Taking it, rather than eating it, seemed to him as painful as taking medicine.

Achieved the "Culinary Skills Not Improved for Many Years" effect: Offal +0.2

Zhang Chaoqiang was speechless again. Was she afraid that he would get sick from eating his mother's cooking?

Shen Qiangwei even asked me to invite Tan Yuenian, who is 27, to her house for a visit and a meal. How could I possibly accept that invitation?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Huolong took the two of them back to his hometown. Nowadays, with the rapid development of cities, there are not many people left in their hometowns.

Their parents died early, leaving only the three of them to depend on each other, and they rarely visited other relatives.

Upon returning to the village, Zhang Chaoqiang noticed, through his [Sensitive Ears] and [Basic Insight], that people had been pointing and whispering about them ever since they entered the village.

"Hey, isn't this kid from Old Zhang's family? He used to have dragon and tiger tattoos on his body when he was young, and he used to ride his motorcycle around the village entrance all day long!"

"I never imagined that she would be married and have a baby now."

"That young woman used to smoke and drink a lot when she was young, but she's become much more settled after they got married."
