Chapter 1

"Qin Tian, Qin Tian, wake up, stop sleeping..."

A soft, sweet voice entered his ears, gradually becoming clear.

Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a face that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

This face had perfectly proportioned features, bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin.

If there was one flaw, it was that it was a bit baby-faced.

"Xia Nuannuan?"

Qin Tian suddenly remembered.

Wasn't this the girl who had been his deskmate for a year during his senior year of high school?

"I see, I must still be dreaming..."

He yawned and made a move to continue closing his eyes and sleeping.

Beside him, upon hearing this, Xia Nuannuan timidly raised her eyes to look up, her pair of large, watery eyes wide open.

"Qin Tian!!!"

An angry shout resounded through the classroom.

The Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher, known by the students as "Yan Wang Li," used the rolled-up Chinese textbook in his hand to make intimate contact with the back of Qin Tian's head.

"Ah, who the hell hit my head!"

Qin Tian stood up angrily, and then was dumbfounded on the spot.

The classroom was eerily quiet for a long while.

Immediately after, all the students burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

The exaggerated, loud laughter seemed as if it were going to blow the roof off the classroom.

Old Li's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his left index finger pointed to the back of the classroom:

"Get out, go to the back and stand!"

"Oh!"

Qin Tian rubbed his aching head, 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, and continued his lecture.

The classroom, the chubby deskmate, Old Li...

Qin Tian looked at everything before him and subconsciously raised his hand to pinch his face.

It hurt; it wasn't a dream!

"Could it be... that I've been reborn, just like in those web novels?"

Such a guess surfaced in Qin Tian's mind.

According to the famous detective Sherlock Holmes:

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!

Qin Tian chose to accept this truth and was ecstatic about it.

In his previous life, he could be said to have lived a down-and-out life for half his time.

Now that the heavens had favored him and given him a chance to start over, how could he not be excited?

"Right, the Golden Finger, where is my Golden Finger?"

Qin Tian suddenly remembered this.

According to the usual tropes, those who are reborn or transmigrated should all have cheats gifted to them.

Sure enough, a mysterious electronic voice rang out in his mind.

【Congratulations to the host, the Perfect Life Counterattack System has been successfully bound!】

【System startup successful, novice rewards are being distributed...】

"Hurry, hurry, make it quick!"

Qin Tian urged impatiently.

【Congratulations to the host, System Points +666!】

"What are System Points used for?"

Qin Tian asked hurriedly.

【System Points can be used to exchange for items in the System Treasure Pavilion. Additionally, the time the host stays in this world also needs to be exchanged for with points. Current remaining time: 23 hours, 50 minutes, 13 seconds!】

【When the countdown ends, the host's soul will be repatriated!】

"There's even a countdown? Are you playing with a time bomb here?"

Qin Tian complained silently in his heart.

Before his eyes, a panel similar to a game interface quietly appeared.

Qin Tian's attention first fell on the numbers at the very top!

23:49:58!

Obviously, this was his life countdown.

There was a plus sign behind it, and a little further to the right, it displayed the 666 System Points he had just obtained.

Qin Tian tried clicking the plus sign, and an input box appeared.

"Exchange ten points!"

With a thought, the displayed points immediately decreased by ten.

In its place, the countdown increased by 10 hours, changing to:

33:49:50!

Qin Tian let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was one point per hour, not minutes or seconds.

Subsequently, he clicked on the Treasure Pavilion in the bottom right corner.

【High School Chinese Experience Pack: 99 points】

【High School Mathematics Experience Pack: 99 points】

【High School English Experience Pack: 99 points】

【Physique Enhancement Potion: 199 points】

【Charm Attribute Point: 299 points】

【Strength Attribute Point: 299 points】

【Guitar Skill Mastery: 499 points】

A wide variety of goods were listed before his eyes.

Qin Tian's eyes shone, and he was extremely envious.

If he didn't lack 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 shout rang out.

In the classroom, pairs of eyes immediately focused on Qin Tian, who was standing at the back.

"Present!"

Qin Tian responded subconsciously.

Then, he saw that Yan Wang Li's eyes seemed to be burning with raging anger.

"What was I just talking about?"

Li Xueping asked, suppressing his anger.

Not only did he sleep in his class, but he even dared to space out while being punished to stand at the back.

He was simply getting too bold!

This was intolerable!

"This..."

Qin Tian's head grew big instantly.

He had just been studying the system functions; how would he have the spare time to listen to what Old Li was saying?

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly saw the chubby deskmate girl raise her draft notebook.

On the draft notebook, written in a very thick marker, were a few very large words.

"Teachers: Third Paragraph!"

Fortunately, his eyesight was good, and Qin Tian saw it very clearly.

"Teacher, you were just talking about the third paragraph of 'Teachers'."

Feeling grateful, he hurriedly spoke up to answer.

Li Xueping was stunned for a moment, then frowned and scanned the direction Qin Tian had just been looking.

But Xia Nuannuan had already put down the draft notebook and buried her head, playing the ostrich.

"Then recite this third paragraph!"

Li Xueping's gaze returned to Qin Tian, his expression serious.

"Ah?"

Qin Tian was dumbfounded and subconsciously cast his gaze toward Xia Nuannuan.

However, this time Xia Nuannuan obviously couldn't help him, giving him a look of helplessness.

"Hurry up, I've said it many times, this is a must-memorize article."

Li Xueping urged impatiently, the anger in his eyes burning even brighter.

【System Task Triggered: Please host, answer the teacher's question and complete the first step of the study god counterattack!】

In his mind, the system joined in the excitement.

"Fine, it's just 99 points, I'll give it to you!"

Qin Tian gritted his teeth in pain and directly exchanged for the High School Chinese Experience Pack.

【Congratulations to the host, High School Chinese Experience Pack successfully exchanged!】

Instantly, a massive amount of information poured into his brain like a divine revelation.

His eyes lit up.

That was the light of knowledge, the light of wisdom!

"Sages have no permanent teachers, Confucius learned from..."

Under the surprised gazes of Old Li and the students in the class, Qin Tian suddenly began to recite.

The shock on everyone's faces grew thicker, turning into expressions of disbelief.

It was only because Qin Tian's recitation was too fluent, like flowing clouds and water, without any sense of hesitation.

Was this still the academic underachiever who was firmly in the bottom three in every exam and slept through eight out of ten classes, including morning and evening self-study?
