SFS Chapter 66 An Innate Aura of Being Provocative
Chapter 66 An Innate Aura of Being Provocative
"Come on, let's review. What did I tell you before?" Lin Shuwan asked.
Su Hao was taken aback for a moment, then answered honestly:
"You know, 90% of the people who come to me with math problems actually already know the answers..."
Lin Shuwan nodded.
"That's right! Don't you have eyes? Isn't that ridiculous?! If you could do it yourself, why would you bother coming to ask me?"
Su Hao looked bewildered and tentatively offered an academic conjecture:
"Perhaps it's for cross-validation? To find different approaches to solving the problem?"
Aside from academic discussion, his pure mind couldn't think of any other motive.
"Tsk tsk tsk...completely the opposite."
Lin Shuwan narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with pity, as if she were looking at a hopeless, naive girl.
"what?"
They come to you with a problem they've spent three sleepless nights solving, and their real purpose is only one thing:
They desperately wanted you, the legendary monster who swept through the IMO, to be the one who couldn't do it in his area of ignorance!
Su Hao blinked, even more confused:
"Was that...to show off to me?"
"No, they are trying to survive."
To be precise, they are activating a pathetic self-defense mechanism.
Lin Shuwan incisively tore away the fig leaf covering up the faces of these geniuses.
"Subconsciously, they are trying to deceive themselves:"
"So even the invincible Su Hao has problems he can't solve, but I can solve this one!"
Haha, I crushed him in one aspect!
As long as they can find even the slightest bit of weak evidence that you are inferior to them, their precarious and fragile self-esteem can be preserved.
At this point, Lin Shuwan picked up her iced cola and took a big gulp, her face turning red.
She had a similar competitive mindset when she first encountered Su Hao in the competition.
But the result?
When the gap is so large that it's not even on the same level, any jealousy becomes a joke.
After witnessing the overwhelming power of a "I can just write something and that's your end" attack, her Dao heart shattered on the spot, and she smoothly transitioned from "attempting to kill a god" to "offering incense to a god".
Lin Shuwan sneered inwardly. She really didn't know whether the junior in front of her who knew nothing was pitiful, or the unlucky guys in his class were more pathetic.
Trying to climb a peak that can never be reached will not only break their necks, but also the pride and beliefs upon which they depend for survival!
In this place, it's not terrible to consider yourself mediocre.
The most terrifying thing is that someone who considers themselves a genius has their spine crushed by another person of the same age!
In recent years, she has witnessed too many geniuses and prodigies being driven mad by jealousy.
Instead of testing each other and wasting time, it would be better to do what Su Hao did to her back then: directly reveal terrifying strength that takes your breath away and crush all their illusions with the bloodiest means!
Actually, this is good for everyone.
Logically speaking, upon seeing the terrifying resume of being the IMO's top individual player, bowing down and admitting defeat would be the most logical thing to do.
But these proud and arrogant young masters and ladies in the gifted youth program absolutely could not swallow this insult.
They always felt that there was no peer in the world they couldn't surpass!
The thought of how she used to be made Lin Shuwan's face burn with embarrassment.
What's worse, Su Hao has an innate, punchable aura about him.
That face was always indifferent, constantly conveying one message:
"I simply don't understand what you mortals are struggling with."
That's what really breaks your defenses.
"Then...why don't they even acknowledge others when they greet them?"
Su Hao raised this parameter anomaly problem that had been troubling him.
"Did you notice that they're all wearing something on their ears?"
"Yes, they are noise-canceling headphones. I've confirmed it." Su Hao nodded.
Lin Shuwan snorted coldly:
"That's an unwritten rule in this gifted youth program. Headphones are a truce shield; in other words..."
"My brain is working at high speed right now; I don't have time for pointless social interactions. I refuse to initiate greetings or engage in any small talk."
Lin Shuwan poked at the ice cubes at the bottom of the glass with a straw.
"Extremely sophisticated egoism, right?"
In order to maintain that pitiful inner barrier, they can even abandon the most basic social etiquette.
That's just how these people are.
"I see!"
Su Hao's eyes, filled with curiosity and admiration, greatly satisfied Lin Shuwan's vanity.
"That's why I was worried for you!" Lin Shuwan sighed.
"How could someone like you, with your simple, rural charm, survive in this highly alienated steel jungle?"
But Su Hao found it quite interesting. Although survival in another world was difficult, it only fueled his interest in overcoming the challenges.
He stood up, solemnly thanked Lin Shuwan, and turned to go back to school.
On his way back to his dorm, he reviewed the personality models he had collected.
In short, the permanent samples from the other world have the following characteristics:
[Extremely inflated ego; sophisticated self-interest; near-zero empathy; extreme individualism; strong exclusivity towards individuals outside one's social circle...]
The more meticulous the terminology used to describe them, the more incomprehensible Su Hao found these people to be.
Having lived for thirteen years with smooth sailing in his interpersonal relationships, Su Hao has encountered a real nonlinear problem here.
......
However, Su Hao was unaware that while he was using his classmates as guinea pigs for observation, they were also secretly and frantically watching him.
In the afternoon, in the classroom of Class 01, Department 000.
On the surface, everyone was casually flipping through exercise books or indifferently working out complex equations on paper, creating the appearance of an academic mecca.
However, if we could visualize the gaze, we would find that the entire classroom was filled with countless invisible gazes, just like interwoven infrared lasers, all focused intently on Su Hao, who was sitting in the front row.
The comments section is flooded with everyone's inner monologues:
"Is this the monster that blew up IMO? It looks so small!"
"It's just the media's usual tactic of creating a celebrity. He took the same test as me; it's not certain who would beat whom!"
"Why not cultivate a good relationship now? This kid's definitely going to be an academic powerhouse; it's a long-term investment!"
"I heard that the freakish genius Shen Yuxuan mentioned who made him question the meaning of life is him?"
"Oh, right, my mom told me the other day to find an opportunity to invite him home for a meal, to try and get on his good side..."
"I happen to have a CMO (Content Management Online) problem that I've been stuck on for a week, I'll give it to him after class to test the waters!"
"Damn! If I'd known he was Su Hao, I should have kowtowed to him right then and there when he greeted me in the hallway this morning!"
Just as these geniuses were harboring different thoughts and undercurrents were brewing.
"Ring ring—" The school bell rang.
boom!
The classroom door was pushed open, and Teacher Zhang Lingfeng strode onto the podium with an imposing gait.
This was his first class after taking over Class 01.
After a sleepless night of agonizing over it, Zhang Lingfeng finally figured it out:
The premise of any teaching plan must be to first use the most ruthless methods to accurately determine Su Hao's true level!
Zhang Lingfeng's gaze sharpened as he surveyed the entire room:
"Today, before class, we'll have a diagnostic test!"
