From child prodigy to chief scientist

Xu Xiao was the fastest to adapt in the class. He was worried that he might not be able to keep up, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.

After all, schools now teach junior high school knowledge. Even if the teaching speed is faster and the difficulty is higher, it will still not deviate from this scope.

Fortunately, most teachers do not have very strict requirements for students' performance in class.

This allows Xu Xiao to confidently do her own thing, provided she understands the lesson.

Through continuous accumulation, Xu Xiao's effective study time has come very close to 200 hours.

Finally, on that morning, Xu Xiao received a message notification from the system.

[Host has completed 200 hours of learning time. Entry: Focus]

[It will take a few minutes for the entry to integrate with the host. Please experience the entry's effects later.]

Hearing the synthesized electronic voices coming from his mind, Xu Xiao couldn't help but become excited.

"After more than a month... I've finally finished this task!"

The completion speed was almost half as slow as Xu Xiao had estimated. In fact, Xu Xiao had invested nearly 400 hours of study time.

But in any case, as long as the task can be completed, all these efforts are completely worthwhile.

For a while afterward, Xu Xiao didn't even dare to continue studying, quietly observing the changes in her brain.

Xu Xiao originally thought that the fusion of the entry with her brain would have some special effect, such as a warm current flowing through her mind.

But even after ten minutes, Xu Xiao still didn't feel anything particularly noticeable.

"Has the entry merging been completed? Or will we have to wait a while?"

Seeing that the system was not responding, Xu Xiao decided to try it himself.

After refocusing her attention on her studies, Xu Xiao quickly felt the changes in herself.

Previously, it would have taken some time to get into the swing of things from the start of learning.

But this time, Xu Xiao clearly felt that she got into the zone much faster.

In addition, my concentration in studying has also improved significantly compared to before.

This kind of focus is not just ordinary concentration, but more like a "flow state".

Xu Xiao had also experienced a state of flow before, as if her body and consciousness had completely merged, allowing her to devote herself wholeheartedly to the task at hand.

This state is so rare; in his memory, he has only entered a state of flow a handful of times.

But after obtaining the keyword "focus", Xu Xiao easily entered a similar state.

At this moment, all the noise from the outside world seemed to be blocked out by Xu Xiao's brain, which made him completely undisturbed by the outside world.

For a moment, he even somewhat forgot the speed at which time was passing.

It wasn't until Xu Xiao voluntarily stopped what he was doing that he snapped out of his focused state.

"Is this the power of keywords...? They're incredibly powerful!"

After just a simple trial, Xu Xiao was amazed by the magical effect of the entry.

Looking at the time, Xu Xiao was somewhat surprised to find that more than half an hour had passed since he entered a state of concentration.

"I thought only a few minutes had passed. It's true that being focused makes you feel like time is changing."

When people are deeply engrossed in something, they often feel that time flies by. For example, when playing a game, they can unknowingly play for several hours, but it feels like only a short while has passed.

If you can maintain the same mindset while studying, the effect will be tremendous.

After the initial excitement subsided, Xu Xiao controlled his consciousness and opened the system interface.

He had been hoping the system would update with new entry tasks soon, but so far, the entry task interface has not changed at all.

Xu Xiao had no choice but to look down and check his level in each subject.

[Chinese Language: 72 (My knowledge of classical poetry and literature has been systematically supplemented, and I have a certain understanding of the polysemy and emotional complexity of texts...)]

[Mathematics: 80 (The basic knowledge from junior high and high school has been largely rebuilt, and the ability to construct mathematical logical chains has reached a good level...)]

[English: 70 (Mastery of core vocabulary for the college entrance examination has improved, and a basic understanding of tenses, voice, and clauses has been established...)]

…………

Seeing the changes in her academic performance across various subjects, Xu Xiao felt a sense of accomplishment.

Compared to when he was first reborn, Xu Xiao's level in all subjects has improved to a certain extent.

The system's evaluations of various disciplines have also become much milder, compared to the initial somewhat harsh criticisms.

"If I take the college entrance exam now, I should be able to get a higher score than I did in my previous life."

However, Xu Xiao would definitely not accept it if she only scored just enough to get into a top-tier university.

With the help of focused vocabulary, Xu Xiao's learning efficiency has improved significantly, allowing him to meet the requirements of the college entrance examination more quickly.

Without much hesitation, Xu Xiao immediately began to study even more diligently.

Meanwhile, in the director's office of the children's department, Wang Ze was talking to Liao Qiuju.

"Ms. Liao, the children's classes have been in session for a while now. How are the new students doing?"

"Overall, I'm quite satisfied, although there are a few children who are a little behind and are still not quite used to the pace of the children's class."

"Yes, this is quite normal. If it really doesn't work out, we should consider transferring them to the junior high school."

The pace of junior high school is much slower than that of the junior high school, and it takes two and a half years to complete junior high school studies, which is more friendly in comparison.

If these students truly cannot adapt to the junior classes, instead of continuing to struggle here, they should choose to go to a place that is more suitable for them.

As they were chatting, Liao Qiuju suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Director Wang, there are two students in our class who have been performing a bit too well lately."

"Oh? Which two students?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ze also seemed curious and looked at Liao Qiuju expectantly.

"One is Yang Dun, and the other is Xu Xiao. They rarely pay attention in class, but they always get the highest scores in the class on quizzes."

Upon learning the names of the two students, Wang Ze was not particularly surprised.

During the interview, these two students had already made a very deep impression on Wang Ze.

Xu Xiao goes without saying; he not only ranked first in both the written test and the interview, but also gave Wang Ze a mature and experienced feeling.

Yang Dun was a genius that Wang Ze had heard of long ago. He had started to learn university knowledge on his own at a young age and was a student that Yucai was focusing on cultivating.
