6. Excel in both civil and military affairs

Lin Zichen's shout of "Shut up" was loud and powerful, buzzing in the ears of all the children.

For a moment, all the children were stunned into silence.

They had never seen a peer jump over a meter high, let alone with such a domineering voice; he was just like an angry dad at home.

Lin Zichen looked around at everyone and warned even more assertively:

"If you dare to call anyone 'bed-wetting king' again or bully Han Han, I'll make sure you wet your beds every single day!"

"Do you understand!!!"

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately raised his voice even more.

That increase in volume, like the final straw that broke the camel's back, scared many of the children into tears.

"Waaa, daddy, I'm scared!"

"Mommy, wahhhh..."

"Mommy, daddy, school isn't fun, I want to go home, wahhhh..."

Among them, the girl with the bun was crying the hardest.

Because Lin Zichen's warning was almost exclusively directed at her, it was extremely personal.

Soon, the commotion in the classroom attracted the teachers.

"What's going on, what exactly happened?"

"There, there, everyone stop crying."

"Chen, why are you standing on the desk? It's very dangerous, come down immediately."

"..."

Lin Zichen paid no attention to the arriving teachers.

At the moment, all his attention was on the words that appeared out of thin air.

[You've dominated with your aura, frightening all the children in class, successfully unlocking the title – Kindergarten King]

[Achievement: Dominate nine years of compulsory education]

[Reward: You have obtained the "Biometric Attribute – Survival of the Fittest"]

[Titles: Kindergarten King (Unlocked), Primary School Master (Not Unlocked), Junior High Overlord (Not Unlocked)]

An unexpected third achievement task?

Lin Zichen was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't even completed the previous reading achievements, and now another task had appeared.

It seemed that multiple achievement tasks could exist at the same time.

This was good news.

With this thought, Lin Zichen couldn't help but smile, out of place in a classroom filled with crying.

...

The next day.

The kindergarten received complaints from several parents of the class.

These parents, having heard about the previous day's events from their children, called the kindergarten to demand an explanation.

With no other option, the kindergarten had to invite the concerned parents to the school for a face-to-face reconciliation.

The complaining parents thought Lin Zichen was to blame and directed their ire towards Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin.

Shen Qinghan's parents, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng, felt this was unreasonable.

Both considered their daughter the victim of bullying, while Lin Zichen was simply standing up for her. What wrong had he done?

As a result, the couple lashed back at the angry parents.

As teachers themselves, they were articulate and reasoned, silencing the complaining parents with their logical arguments.

It wasn't until the headmaster came out and gave everyone a way out that the matter was temporarily settled, saying it was all a misunderstanding and no one was to blame.

Out of consideration for the children.

The next day, the headmaster moved Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan to another class.

In the new class, with Lin Zichen's protection, Shen Qinghan was no longer ostracized by the other children and even made a lot of friends.

However, they were just ordinary friends.

For Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen was her only true friend.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

That evening.

Lin Zichen, having finished his bath, was reading in his room.

After not too long, several notifications emerged in the void.

[Accumulated reading of a hundred million characters, achievement reached]

[You have gained the "Biometric Attribute: Divine Human Wisdom Root"]

[Divine Human Wisdom Root: Photographic Memory, learning capability reaching the pinnacle of humanity]

Having read the attribute description, Lin Zichen randomly flipped to a never-before-read page in the book, skimmed the content quickly, and then closed the book, trying to recall the entire page from memory.

To his delight, he found he could recite the content word for word without missing a beat.

It was truly photographic memory!

As night deepened.

After his parents had gone to sleep in their room, Lin Zichen left his own room and sneaked into his parents' study. He turned on their work computer and searched for a video tutorial on high school mathematics concerning derivative functions to watch.

In his previous life, he had been tormented by derivative functions during high school.

Now, he was going to test the effect of the "Divine Human Wisdom Root" with derivative functions.

[You are studying mathematics, spirit +1, logical thinking +1, computing ability +1…]

In the dimly lit room, the fluorescent light from the computer screen shone directly onto Lin Zichen's face, making it appear somewhat shadowy.

About half an hour later, the video ended.

It was at this moment.

Lin Zichen felt as if he had experienced an epiphany and instantly understood the concept of derivative functions.

He immediately searched for past math college entrance examination papers and worked on a few problems involving derivatives. He solved them swiftly.

Back in his high school senior year, no matter how he tried, he couldn't get the derivatives right; but now, in his pre-school class, he could solve them with ease.

Is this what it means to have learning abilities at the pinnacle of humanity?

Too powerful!

From this moment on, I am a genius excelling in both arts and martial prowess!

Lin Zichen felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

…

The next morning.

Lin Zichen arrived at kindergarten for his weekly intelligence development class.

The teacher of the class was a young-looking woman, fresh as if she had just graduated from high school, and everyone called her Teacher Strawberry.

In the classroom, Teacher Strawberry posed a question to the kids.

— If the teacher gave everyone 100 dollars and you could only buy one type of thing to fill up the entire classroom, what would you buy?

"Buy chocolate because chocolate is yummy!"

"Then I'll buy ice cream, I think ice cream is yummier than chocolate!"

"Dad likes the graphics card 4070ti, he even talks about it in his dreams, I want to buy a graphics card to give to dad!"

The children all eagerly responded.

However, unfortunately, none of them hit the mark; it was clear they didn't really understand the question.

"Any other answers? There's a reward for the correct answer, you know!" Teacher Strawberry looked around and asked.

However, no child could provide the right answer.

In the end, Teacher Strawberry had to reveal the answer, "We could buy candles; as long as the candles are lit, their light can fill up the entire classroom."

Shen Qinghan muttered from below, "I really want the reward from Teacher Strawberry, but I'm too dumb to answer…"

Hearing the little girl's mutterings, Lin Zichen stood up, looked at Teacher Strawberry on the podium and said, "Teacher Strawberry, I think candles won't work."

"Oh?" Teacher Strawberry was surprised as she hadn't expected a child to directly refute the standard answer.

She was curious and smiled at Lin Zichen, "Chen, why won't candles work?"

Lin Zichen answered, "Because there are desks and chairs in the classroom, there are all sorts of things that will create shadows under the candlelight."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Strawberry's eyes brightened.

Though Lin Zichen's answer sounded a bit like splitting hairs, she liked children who had their own ideas.

"Then Chen, what do you think could fill up the whole classroom?"

Teacher Strawberry only asked as a formality, not expecting Lin Zichen to have an answer.

Even she couldn't think of a better answer than candles on the spot.

However, Lin Zichen's next answer stunned her.

"I would take the 100 dollars to buy a skirt for Teacher Strawberry, then Teacher Strawberry's joy at receiving the skirt could fill up the entire classroom."

"You, you want to give me a skirt?"

Teacher Strawberry's eyes widened in disbelief.

The answer was perfect!

Could a four-year-old child come up with this?

Am I dreaming?

Teacher Strawberry suddenly felt as though she had really received a skirt and had been charmed by the four-year-old Lin Zichen.

After class.

Teacher Strawberry took Lin Zichen to the office, handed him a box of puzzle toys, and said with a sweet smile:

"Chen, Teacher Strawberry really liked your answer in class, so as a reward, here is a puzzle toy just for you. Teacher Strawberry hopes you will become even smarter."

"Thank you, Teacher Strawberry."

Lin Zichen accepted the gift without any emotional ripples in his heart.

With the attribute of the "Divine Human Wisdom Root," he didn't need puzzle toys to help develop his intelligence.

To him, the gift was nothing more than a mere trinket.

So, when he returned to the classroom, he gave the puzzle toy to Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan, who received the gift, was delighted, hugging the puzzle toy and not letting go, her eyes filled with the image of her Chen.
