Benefits of Rebirth

  Thanks for a small tip, zero exposure, and my original reward. New book seeking patronage, collection, and recommendation - none of these can be missing!

  The Li family lived in a bungalow behind the restaurant, which also belonged to the landlord's illegal building. It was an old-fashioned three-room tile house. Li Lisheng and his wife lived in the east room, while Li Yifan lived in the west room. Since the front was the restaurant, they didn't cook at home, so the middle room served as a living room.

  Tonight, after finishing washing up, Zhang Shu was surprised to find that Li Yifan's room still had the lights on. Normally at this time, her son would have gone to bed early, or else he would be in the living room watching TV with an excuse.

  She leaned on the window of the door and took a peek inside, only to see Li Yifan sitting at his desk, rummaging through his backpack. It had been a long time since she saw her son being so self-aware about coming home and reviewing his lessons. Zhang Shu's heart warmed up, thinking that the kid really understood things now.

  "It's getting late, I'm afraid it's too late for studying, and I still have to go to school tomorrow."

  Zhang Shu reminded her at the door.

  "Uh-huh, I see."

  Li Yihong responded with a sound, Zhang Shu returned to the room and saw Li Lishuang sitting on the sofa at the edge of the bed in a daze.

  "Son, you seem different today. You even knew how to review your lessons when you got home!"

  Zhang Shu muttered something under her breath.

  "Hmm, it seems like he's grown up and become sensible all of a sudden. Ah! If only he had known that effort would lead to this earlier."

  Li Liqiang suddenly came to his senses, just now he was still worried that his son was just going through the motions, what if he really didn't do well on the exam, then he would have to go beg his grandfather and grandmother.

  Now hearing his wife say this, he also felt a lot more at ease, but still had some misgivings.

  "It's late, go to bed early, we still have to get up early tomorrow."

  Zhang Shu also knew what her husband was worried about, and she wasn't either, but she didn't want to think too much. After all, the couple had been busy for a day, and they really didn't have too much energy to worry about their son's studies. So they went to bed early to rest.

  At this time, Li Yifan was staring at the review materials on the table, in a daze. In his previous life, his high school grades were not particularly good, and he was at a mid-to-lower level in his class during his first year of high school.

  He later attended a third-rate university and spent four years in school, forgetting the little knowledge he had from high school. After working, he experienced many disappointments, changed several jobs, and was finally discovered by someone, starting his special career. Before that special career began, he went through a two-year training.

  At that time, he realized the true meaning of so-called learning. In fact, if not from the perspective of cultivating special talents such as writers and musicians, high school learning is more about cultivating a person's ability to use correct learning methods and approaches beyond solidifying foundations.

  When it comes to exam-oriented education, actually, mastering the learning method is more important than mastering real knowledge. This is because many of the things taught in school, especially at the current stage and even in university, are mainly focused on grades above all else. Once you enter society, most of these things become useless, and there are many practical things that you need to relearn when looking for a job. However, once you master the learning method, it's actually much easier to learn these useful things later on.

  That's the truth about practical science he learned in those two years, and the way of learning he realized is to stand on a high point to look at problems, and use a comprehensive perspective to look at problems.

  His math scores were average in high school, but after being exposed to advanced math in college and looking back at the knowledge from high school, he felt like he was seeing everything from a new perspective.

  Moreover, many systems in high school mathematics are actually interconnected. You need to stand at a commanding height and look at these chapters, sets, inequalities, functions, exponential functions, and power functions. You need to first find the connections between these major chapters, which is equivalent to giving your own knowledge system an initial framework, and then filling in the details, and then deriving other series of problems and solutions.

  After spending more than an hour, he had a certain understanding of the entire high school math book and found the connection between chapters. After carefully understanding the derived formulas and so on, Li Yifan's memory about high school math had fully awakened.

  Previously, the teacher had distributed a number of mock exam questions. Li Yifan started to take out those mock exam questions and began to answer them one by one. While doing the questions, Li Yifan discovered an advantage - his memory was exceptionally good, even to the point where he felt like he could memorize everything at a glance.

  Although later generations have received specialized mathematical training and mnemonic training, his memory of high school mathematics is still vague in many places, especially those numerous formulas that are as fine as cow hair but as thin as capillaries. He just scanned the textbook once, but when solving problems, these formulas and their theorems and definitions seem to be printed on his brain, and he can recall them effortlessly.

  And in the last part of the mock exam, several mixed questions that combined knowledge from multiple chapters were also quickly solved under his overall analysis.

  A one-hundred-and-fifty-minute exam paper, with one hundred questions, Li Yifan finished answering all of them in less than fifty minutes. Looking at his results, Li Yifan felt extremely satisfied, and surprisingly, there wasn't a single question he couldn't do. It seems that the advanced math in college, as well as the special training over the past two years, hasn't gone to waste.

  Physics is not worth mentioning, mechanics and electricity are still unclear, it's really unforgivable for his decade-long career as a special agent. You know, in his later life, he had several engineer titles under his cover identity.

  Chemistry was originally the subject that gave Li Yifan the most headaches, but the training of the past two years and his exceptionally good memory now have saved him a lot of effort. One hundred practice questions, although he dare not say they are all correct, at least he has managed to do them all. Biology is also not difficult for Li Yifan, mainly because it tests memorization, which he is no longer afraid of.

  As for English, he was even more fearless. In the two years of training later on, he had mastered at least four languages including English, French, German and Italian, and when performing tasks abroad, English was used the most.

  As for subjects like language and history that require pure memorization, after this special memory test and training tonight, Li Yifan was full of confidence in his memory. He planned to review these subjects that need to be memorized again tomorrow and the day after before the exams.

  After finishing several sets of test questions, Li Yifan looked up at the clock and saw that it was almost four o'clock. He lay down to rest, but the fleeting sense of accomplishment made him unable to fall asleep. It's worth noting that although he had received special training in speed memorization in his later years, achieving this level of photographic memory seemed not so easy after all.

  Is this the benefit of rebirth? Li Yifan thought happily, originally he still had some worries about his studies, but now it seems that there is no need to worry.

  However, drowsiness soon came over him, after all, a lot of things happened today, and it really consumed too much of his brain power.

  After waking up in the morning, Li Yifan didn't rush to get out of bed, but instead recalled some of the math and physical chemistry formulas he had reviewed the day before. This feeling was just like a poor person suddenly winning a prize of 30 million, and on the second day, they must personally go check their bank account to confirm that they are not dreaming.

  As he racked his brain, all the knowledge and formulas seemed to flash before his eyes like data on a computer screen. It seemed that his memory was not a big problem after all. Li Yifan let out a sigh of relief.

  In the morning, Zhang Shu cooked a bowl of noodles for Li Yifan and added two eggs. With a full stomach, under his parents' loving gaze, Li Yifan walked out of the door with a sense of determination. At this moment, he not only walked out of the door but also firmly towards his own future.
