“Qin Tian, Qin Tian, wake up, don’t sleep…”
A soft, milky voice entered his ears, gradually becoming clearer.
Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes.
What met his gaze was a face that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.
The face had perfectly proportioned features, bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin.
The only flaw was a slight baby fat.
“Xia Nuannuan?”
Qin Tian suddenly remembered.
Wasn’t this the girl who had been his deskmate for a whole year in his third year of high school?
“I get it, I’m still dreaming…”
He yawned and made to close his eyes again.
Beside him, upon hearing this, Xia Nuannuan timidly looked up, her large, watery eyes widening.
“Qin Tian!!!”
An angry roar echoed through the classroom.
The rolled-up Chinese textbook in the hands of the Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher, whom the students called “King of Hell Li,” made intimate contact with the back of Qin Tian’s head.
“Ah, who the hell hit my head!”
Qin Tian leaped up in anger, then was stunned on the spot.
The classroom fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
Immediately after, all the students burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha…”
The exaggerated, loud laughter seemed as if it would blow the classroom ceiling off.
Old Li’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot. He pointed his left index finger towards the back of the classroom:
“Scram, go stand at the back!”
“Okay!”
Qin Tian rubbed his sore head and walked to the back of the classroom in a daze, turned around, and stood against the wall.
Old Li glared at him with a look of disappointment, then continued his lecture.
The classroom, the chubby girl deskmate, Old Li…
Looking at everything before him, Qin Tian instinctively raised his hand and pinched his face.
It hurt, this was no dream!
“Could it be… that I’ve been reborn, like in those online novels?”
Such a guess surfaced in Qin Tian’s mind.
According to the famous detective Sherlock Holmes’ famous quote:
When you have eliminated all which is impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!
Qin Tian chose to accept this truth and was overjoyed.
In his previous life, he had lived a life of destitution and hardship for most of it.
Now that heaven had favored him and given him a chance to start over, how could he not be excited?
“Right, my cheat, where’s my cheat?”
Qin Tian suddenly remembered this.
According to the usual trope, reborn and transmigration individuals should come with a cheat.
As expected, a mysterious electronic voice sounded in his mind.
【Congratulations Host, Perfect Life Counterattack System has been successfully bound!】
【System startup successful, novice rewards are being distributed…】
“Quick, quick, hurry up!”
Qin Tian urged impatiently.
【Congratulations Host, System Points +666!】
“What are System Points for?”
Qin Tian quickly inquired.
【System Points can be exchanged for items in the System Treasure Pavilion, additionally, the time the Host remains in this world also requires System Points to exchange, current remaining time 23 hours 50 minutes 13 seconds!】
【Countdown ends, Host’s soul will be repatriated!】
“A countdown? Are you playing with a time bomb here?”
Qin Tian complained silently in his mind.
Before him, a panel resembling a game interface quietly appeared.
Qin Tian’s attention was first drawn to the numbers at the very top!
23:49:58!
Clearly, this was his life countdown.
There was a plus sign next to it, and further to the right, it displayed the 666 System Points he had just obtained.
Qin Tian tentatively clicked the plus sign, and an input box appeared.
“Exchange for ten points!”
With a single thought, the displayed points immediately decreased by ten.
In its place, the countdown increased by 10 hours, becoming:
33:49:50!
Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was one point per hour, not per minute or second.
Then, he clicked on the Treasure Pavilion in the lower right corner.
【High School Chinese Experience Pack: 99 Points】
【High School Math Experience Pack: 99 Points】
【High School English Experience Pack: 99 Points】
…
…
【Physique Strengthening Potion: 199 Points】
【Charm Attribute Point: 299 Points】
【Strength Attribute Point: 299 Points】
【Guitar Skill Mastery: 499 Points】
…
…
A dazzling array of various goods was displayed before him.
Qin Tian’s eyes lit up, and he became extremely envious.
If he had enough money, he would have cleared out this Treasure Pavilion directly.
Now he only had 656 points, which was too little!
“What should I exchange for?”
Qin Tian was conflicted, suffering from decision paralysis.
“Qin Tian!”
Suddenly, another angry roar sounded.
In the classroom, all eyes immediately focused on Qin Tian, who was standing at the back.
“Here!”
Qin Tian responded instinctively.
Then, he saw the flames of rage burning in King of Hell Li’s eyes.
“What was I just talking about?”
Li Xueping asked, suppressing his anger.
Not only was he sleeping in his class, but he dared to space out even when being punished to stand at the back.
His audacity had truly grown!
This was unbearable!
“This…”
Qin Tian’s head immediately throbbed.
He had been researching the system functions just now, how could he have the leisure to listen to what Old Li was saying?
Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly saw his chubby deskmate raise a scratchpad.
On the scratchpad, written in a thick marker pen, were several large characters.
“The third paragraph of ‘Master Shuo’!”
Fortunately, his eyesight was good, and Qin Tian could see very clearly.
“Teacher, you were just explaining the third paragraph of ‘Master Shuo’.”
Grateful beyond words, he quickly answered.
Li Xueping was taken aback and glanced suspiciously in the direction Qin Tian had looked.
But Xia Nuannuan had already put down her scratchpad and was burying her head, pretending to be an ostrich.
“Then recite this third paragraph for me!”
Li Xueping’s gaze returned to Qin Tian, his expression serious.
“Huh?”
Qin Tian was dumbfounded and instinctively cast his gaze towards Xia Nuannuan.
However, this time Xia Nuannuan clearly couldn’t help him, giving him a helpless look.
“Hurry up, I’ve said it many times, this is an article that must be memorized.”
Li Xueping urged impatiently, the flames of anger in his eyes burning even brighter.
【System mission triggered: Host, please answer the teacher’s question and complete the first step of the scholar’s counterattack!】
In his mind, the system joined in the fun.
“Forget it, it’s just 99 points, I’ll give them back to you!”
Qin Tian gritted his teeth with heartache and directly exchanged for the High School Chinese Experience Pack.
【Congratulations Host, High School Chinese Experience Pack successfully exchanged!】
Instantly, a torrent of information poured into his brain like a divine enlightenment.
His eyes lit up.
It was the light of knowledge, the light of wisdom!
“Sages have no fixed teachers, Confucius taught…”
Under the astonished gazes of Old Li and his classmates, Qin Tian suddenly began to recite.
The shocked expressions on everyone’s faces gradually deepened, turning into disbelief.
This was because Qin Tian’s recitation was so fluent, like flowing water, without any hesitation.
Was this still the scholastic渣 who consistently ranked in the bottom three in every exam and slept through eight out of ten classes throughout the day, including morning and evening self-study?
