Awakening of the Academic Superstar System at Forty Years Old

Chapter 49 rekindled dreams and fighting spirit.

Students in the senior year's elite class all know that Lu Ming and Principal Miao were college classmates, so he must be quite old, but he looks very young.

When the students saw with their own eyes that Lu Ming had a daughter who was in the first year of high school, they were all quite shocked.

Teacher Lu's daughter is also very beautiful. No wonder she is Teacher Lu's daughter; both father and daughter are very good-looking.

They're the kind of people who can make a living just by their looks!

Since he was going to treat over forty students to a meal anyway, Lu Ming simply bought boxed lunches for Rui Rui and several of her female classmates as well.

Pre-packaged lunch boxes are all balanced with meat and vegetables, clean and hygienic, so you don't have to choose, making them perfect for students who have trouble making decisions.

It's just a little more expensive.

Rui Rui didn't save her dad any money either. She happily took ten boxes with a few classmates, saying she wanted to treat other classmates.

After Rui Rui left, Hu Jinyu from the advanced class, probably feeling that he and Lu Ming were quite familiar with each other, actually asked, "Teacher Lu, can I be your son-in-law?"

"roll!"

Lu Ming shook his hand.

Chen Yiyan also praised her sincerely, saying, "Teacher Lu, your daughter is definitely the school beauty, she looks just like you."

"Teacher Lu is even more handsome, he's absolutely gorgeous!" The girls in the advanced class, who also value looks highly, showered him with compliments.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, feeling quite pleased. At forty years old, he could still attract a group of high school girls with his good looks.

With a nine-out-of-ten physique and a ten-out-of-ten appearance, he is indeed undeniably handsome!

Of course, the academic excellence system does not use a ten-point system; there are eleven and twelve points above ten.

For very special attributes such as physique, resilience, intelligence, and lifespan, it is even possible to increase them by fifteen or sixteen points.

After buying more than forty lunch boxes, the students in the Rocket Class deliberately found a very spacious and secluded corner to sit together and eat.

He who eats another's food is bound to do the same!

While eating, everyone offered video ideas to Teacher Lu, some of which were quite useful.

Lu Ming memorized each point, feeling that he could record a series and slowly produce seven or eight episodes.

Actually, attending classes in the advanced class is quite interesting.

The teachers basically don't care whether the students are paying attention or not, because there are a dozen or so students who don't need to listen at all. They can study on their own according to their own ideas, as long as they don't disturb the other students.

To be precise, all the lessons that were supposed to be taught were already taught in the first semester of the second year of high school.

Some students even completed all three years of high school courses before entering high school, making them completely different from ordinary students.

Of course, the students in the top class have an extremely strong competitive spirit.

I do test papers every day, and I can find out my ranking in the class by scanning them with the tablet provided by the school.

Lu Ming found it very interesting, so he decided to stay in the rocket class and compete with these children for rankings every day.

Compared to studying alone in the dormitory every day, the advanced class has dozens of students, so it's definitely more interesting when classes end each day.

In this way, time really flies by.

Lu Ming himself didn't even realize that he had been attending classes in the class for more than a month.

At the end of January, all the senior students in the school took a mock exam, just like the college entrance exam, and it was completed in three days.

During evening self-study, Lu Ming checked his total score and found that his grades had improved considerably.

Fourth place in the combined science exam.

She ranked second in mathematics, and made significant progress in Chinese and English, also ranking second in those subjects, probably only behind Lu Wenting and Ning Xiang, who were far ahead in all subjects.

Right now, most students are checking their scores.

Ji Leping didn't. He was genuinely resigned to his fate. He came from a wealthy family, was handsome, and couldn't compete with Ning Xiang and Xu Jiyang, who came from ordinary families, so he simply accepted it.

I had absolutely no intention of becoming the top scorer in the provincial or municipal college entrance examination.

After checking his ranking, Liao Chen, who was sitting at the same table, exclaimed in surprise, "Who is it that beat me to fifth place? Wasn't I the notorious perennial fourth-place finisher?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Leping checked his score on his learning tablet and was stunned for a long time before he could come to his senses.

He was also killed.

That's impossible. Apart from Ning Shen and Xu Shen, who in the whole class could take him down?

Although his classmates jokingly call him the "Lying Flat God," he is actually very hardworking in private, just not as hardworking as Ning Xiang and Xu Jiyang.

Liao Chen glanced over and exclaimed, "Ji Shen, how did you get killed too? Did Hu Jinyu suddenly unleash his power?"

"What? How come I didn't know I had an outburst?"

Hu Jinyu was shocked; he really didn't expect that someone in the class could defeat Ji Leping, who was always third in the class.

"Who is it? Did Yang Chaoxu unleash his inner power?"

The students all looked to the other side of the classroom.

"No, I didn't! I also dropped one rank, I was eliminated!" Yang Chaoxu hurriedly turned the tablet around so that his classmates could witness his downfall.

He is innocent!

"Could it be Teacher Lu?" Chen Yiyan thought of the last possibility. Through more than a month of contact, she had already discovered that Lu Ming's grades were quite impressive.

How embarrassing.

The whole class is looking over here!

Lu Ming, who was filming video footage with his phone, could only laugh and say, "Don't be surprised, we middle-aged people are also very sincere and hardworking in our learning attitude!"

"Teacher Lu, you're amazing! Even though he's not my father-in-law, you're putting pressure on Ning Shen and Xu Shen. They're risking their lives for the provincial and municipal top scorers!"

Hu Jinyu gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Even when he had a breakthrough performance, he couldn't beat Ji Leping. His highest ranking was only fourth in the class. He never expected that his forty-year-old "father-in-law" would be so much more ruthless.

"Keep up the good work! Pay attention to your study methods and exam techniques. I guessed some of the answers based on my experience!"

Lu Ming could only use his experience as an excuse.

In fact, he should be one of the very few top students in the class whose intelligence and memory both reach eleven points, which means that he can get close to full marks in both arts and sciences.

His biggest advantage is that in this elite provincial high school's "rocket class," where at least ten students can get into Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

In humanities subjects like Chinese and English, he can compete with Lu Wenting and Ning Xiang. In science subjects like Mathematics and Science, he can also rival Ning Xiang, Xu Jiyang, and Ji Leping, three top male students, or at least be on par with them.

"Father-in-law, you have to treat our whole class to dinner! This is a huge celebration for you; we've all gotten into the top three in the class!"

Liao Chen also tried to make a joke like Hu Jinyu to cover up his disappointment.

I really didn't expect that I would be killed by Mr. Lu, who is forty years old.

He had a crush on Chen Yiyan in his class, but Chen Yiyan had always had a crush on Ji Leping, and recently it seemed that she had started to have a crush on Teacher Lu. Every day after class, she would stand next to Teacher Lu and ask him questions.

Fortunately, neither Ji Leping, who comes from a wealthy family, nor Teacher Lu, who is tall, handsome and dashing, would be interested in Chen Yiyan.

She's just averagely pretty, nowhere near as good-looking as Teacher Lu's daughter.

Thinking about it this way, Liao Chen felt that he could compete with Hu Jinyu to pursue Teacher Lu's daughter, so he started by trying to please his father-in-law.

Because Lu Ming suddenly killed Ji Shen, who had been in third place for a long time, the students in the top class were quietly discussing this throughout the evening self-study session.

Over the past few dozen days, the students could sense that Mr. Lu's grades were impressive, no worse than those of the top students in the advanced class, but they never expected that he could be this good.

At that moment, Miao Yuyan and several other women in the mothers' group were also discussing this matter.

Miao Yuyan, the school's vice principal, could see the students' rankings. When she discovered that Lu Ming had broken into third place in the grade, she immediately exclaimed in the group chat, "Daming, with your current grades, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University is absolutely a sure thing!"

"Did I go a little too far?"

As Lu Ming asked on his phone, he realized he had indeed gone a bit too far and it wasn't very scientific.

At school, he was the only special student who was allowed to keep his cell phone and could film videos in the advanced class at any time, as long as he tried to keep it silent.

"Da Ming, do you really want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?"

Mei Yanping didn't seem to find Lu Ming's grades strange at all; on the contrary, she was more worried about Lu Ming's choice to go to university in the capital.

I'm too far away from them.

"Considering Rui Rui's situation, I'll probably still choose Jiangsu University of Science and Technology!"

Lu Ming couldn't leave his daughter with his ex-wife Guo Haili, but taking her to university in the capital would be too much trouble.

After seeing his reply, all the mature women in the mothers' group breathed a sigh of relief.

Mei Yanping hurriedly promised, "Daming, I will try to find someone in the province to negotiate with Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and guarantee your admission to the Strong Foundation Program and the direct undergraduate-doctoral program."

"Okay, then that's settled!"

Lu Ming did not intend to hesitate repeatedly on this matter; there was no need for it. It was already extraordinary that he could get into the Strong Foundation Program of a top-tier 985 university.

Because most schools and doctoral supervisors have no interest in training him.

I'm forty years old!

They really have no potential for development!

Fortunately, Lu Ming still had confidence in himself, not just because he had a system, but because he was just like he was when he was young.

It rekindled our dreams and fighting spirit!

At the same time, he cherishes the opportunities and time he has now more than when he was younger.
