Chapter 2: Alluring New Mission (1/2)
Reprimanded by the Mathematics teacher, though Su Ke felt angry, he had no other means to deal with the densely packed equations on the blackboard as he knew he wouldn’t be able to solve the problem; his face became flushed.
“Get out!” The Mathematics teacher yelled, pointing towards the door. Although Su Ke’s mistake was trivial, he still did so with the intention of “killing the chicken to warn the monkey.”
The 3rd High’s (8th) class could be considered to be among the mid-lower level classes within the entire year. The majority of the students of the class had bad habits; the boys caused a ruckus with chatter, few of the girls used their tiny mirrors to deal with their pimples, and some even had earphone plugged into their ears.
Su Ke’s giggle made the anger Wu Ming had suppressed within explode out. Although he didn’t pay much attention to this obscure and unknown, quite reserved student with mediocre achievements, he felt as if Su Ke had smacked his face—a naïve, equivalent to an ‘air’ sort of boy doing the smacking.
“Teacher Wu, I—!” Su Ke tried to speak, but his voice wouldn’t come out; he was scared.
“Get out!” Wu Ming pointed towards the door again, his eyes filled with anger and his expression solemn.
Su Ke’s head drooped down; he rose from his seat to leave. He could only resign himself to adversity and obey the teacher’s order, void of the courage to refute. The students of the entire class had paused their matters to look at him walk out, step by step.
Suddenly, he stopped; raising his head, he quickly walked towards the rostrum.
Wu Ming was startled; he had an ominous feeling when he saw Su Ke walk towards him in large strides, thinking, “Is he going to hit his teacher?” He retreated a step back. “What are you doing?”
Su Ke didn’t mind him. A refreshing energy had suddenly appeared within his mind; an enormous amount of mathematical knowledge, theorems, and formulas, which were a comprehensive study of the entire subject appeared along with it. The difficult mathematics problem on the blackboard now became easy.
Su Ke picked up the chalk from the lectern and wrote at a tremendous speed. A glance at that problem had produced the reasoning required to solve the problem within his mind; his right hand merely wrote the answer conscientiously.

“Pa!” Su Ke threw the chalk in his hand towards the lectern and looked at Wu Ming.
“Teacher Wu, is my solution correct?”
Wu Ming was shocked from the moment Su Ke had climbed the rostrum; this youngster had always been a yes-man. He’d blush when he’d speak to the girls in his class, and his voice was as tiny as a mosquito’s when he discussed with the boys. Such a person had surprisingly dared to come onto the rostrum.
Moreover, looking at the answer he wrote on the blackboard, its procedure was clear, and the solution, perfect. This was again startling as the problem’s difficulty was quite high. Wu Ming believed only three among the entire class could solve it, but Su Ke wasn’t one of them for sure.
“Correct!” Wu Ming pulled a long face, deliberately looking at the blackboard while speaking.
Su Ke clapped his hands to throw off the chalk dust, directly returning to his seat. He didn’t drop his head down this time but rather had a rare smiling expression on his face
Wei Lan felt as if she was seeing Su Ke for the first time; delicate and pretty cheeks, bright pupils, a smile possessing an indeterminable flavor. “Was this the same obscure and unknown Su Ke of the class? The Su Ke who used to act like some shy girl?” Thinking about this, the class committee member, Wei Lan, suddenly felt curious about him.
Su Ke feigned to take his seat in a relaxed manner, his sight clashing with the Mathematics teacher Wu Ming’s, who instead avoided his gaze quickly.
“Students, Su Ke has solved this problem correctly!” Wu Ming spoke out; Su Ke again began to giggle; the [Flower Pickup System] was real! The hundred lump sum of money was genuine! Senior High School Mathematics Proficiency (Basic Level), he got it!
“A miracle bestowed by the heavens! I’ll surely change my destiny with this [Flower Pickup System]!” Su Ke shouted within his heart.
