Lin Zichen’s shout, “Shut up,” was so loud and forceful that it buzzed in all the little kids’ ears.

For a moment, all the little kids were stunned.

They had never seen someone their age jump over a meter high, nor had they heard such a domineering voice; it was like an angry dad at home.

Lin Zichen looked around the room and warned even more domineeringly:

“If you dare call her ‘Bed-wetting Queen’ again, if you dare bully Han Han, I’ll make you wet the bed every night!”

“Got it!!!”

When he reached the last sentence, he purposely increased the volume a bit.

Just this small increase in volume, like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, made many little kids cry.

“Waaaah, Daddy, I’m scared!”

“Mommy, waaaaah…”

“Mommy, Daddy, school isn’t fun, I wanna go home, waaaaah…”

Among them, the little girl with the bun cried the hardest.

Because Lin Zichen’s warning was almost entirely directed at her, with extreme specificity.

Soon, the commotion in the classroom drew the teachers over.

“What’s wrong, what exactly happened?”

“Be good, nobody cry.”

“Zi Chen, why are you standing on the table? It’s dangerous, come down at once.”

“…”

Lin Zichen ignored the arriving teachers.

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

[You exude an overwhelming charisma; you’ve instilled fear in all the kids in class, successfully unlocking the title—Kindergarten Kid King.]

[Achievement: Dominate Nine Years of Compulsory Education]

[Reward: Biometric Attributes—Survival of the Fittest]

[Titles: Kindergarten Kid King (Unlocked), Elementary School Leader (Not unlocked), Junior High Tyrant (Not unlocked)]

Another achievement task had appeared?

Lin Zichen felt a bit surprised.

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

It seemed that multiple achievement tasks could exist simultaneously.

This was good news.

With that thought, a smile spread across Lin Zichen’s face, incongruous with the cries filling the classroom at the moment.

…

The next day.

The kindergarten received complaints from several parents in the class.

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

The kindergarten had no choice but to invite the relevant parents to the school to mediate the issue in person.

The complaining parents thought Lin Zichen was to blame, directing their anger toward Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin.

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

Both believed that their daughter was the one being bullied and that Lin Zichen was merely standing up for his daughter, so what was his fault?

So, the couple fiercely retorted the complaining parents.

Both being teachers, articulate and logical, they quickly silenced those seeking an explanation.

It wasn’t until the principal stepped in and gave everyone a way out.

Saying it was all a misunderstanding, that no one was at fault, and thus the matter was temporarily put to rest.

Considering what was best for the children,

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

In this new class, with Lin Zichen’s protection, Shen Qinghan was never ostracized by the other little kids again, and even made quite a few friends.

However, these were just ordinary friends.

The only true friend Shen Qinghan recognized was Lin Zichen.

…

Half a year flew by in a blink of an eye.

That night,

Lin Zichen read a book in his room after taking a bath.

Before long, several notification messages appeared out of thin air.

[Cumulative reading of one hundred million characters achieved.]

[Biometric Attribute Acquired: Divine Intellect]

[Divine Intellect: Photographic memory, learning ability reaches the pinnacle of mankind.]

After reading the attribute description, Lin Zichen casually flipped to a page in the book he had not read and rapidly scanned the content.

Once done, he closed the book and tried to recite the entire page from memory.

He then discovered, to his delight, that he could recite everything word for word without error.

He truly had a photographic memory!

“`

By the time night deepened.

After his parents had gone to their room to sleep, Lin Zichen slipped out of his own room and sneaked into his parents’ office, where he turned on their work computer and found a high school mathematics video on derivatives to watch.

In his previous life, during his high school years, he had been tormented by derivatives.

Now, he was going to use derivatives to test the effect of the “Divine Wisdom Root.”

[You are studying mathematics, Spirit +1, Logical Thinking +1, Calculative Ability +1…]

In the dim room, the fluorescent light from the computer screen shone directly on Lin Zichen’s face, making it appear somewhat shadowy.

About half an hour later, the video ended.

It was at that moment.

Lin Zichen felt enlightenment pouring into him, and he instantly understood derivatives.

He immediately searched for past math college entrance examination papers and worked on several problems involving derivatives, easily deriving the answers.

In his previous life’s senior year of high school, no matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out derivatives, but in this life, being only in kindergarten, he solved them with ease.

Is this what it’s like when one’s learning abilities reach the pinnacle of humanity?

Too powerful!

From this moment on, I am a genius with both literary and martial prowess!

Lin Zichen felt a slight excitement in his heart.

…

The next morning.

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

The teacher of the class was a very young looking little sister, tender as if she had just graduated from high school; everyone called her Strawberry Teacher.

In class, Strawberry Teacher posed a question to the children.

——If the teacher gave everyone 100 yuan and asked you to buy the same thing to fill up an entire classroom, what would you buy?

“Buy chocolate, because chocolate is delicious!”

“Then I’ll buy ice cream, I think ice cream tastes better than chocolate!”

“Daddy likes the 4070ti graphics card, he even talks about the 4070ti in his dreams, so I want to buy a graphics card for Daddy!”

The children answered eagerly.

Unfortunately, none of them hit the mark, clearly not understanding the question.

“Are there any other answers? There’s a reward for the right answer!” Strawberry Teacher looked around the class and asked.

However, no child was able to come up with an answer.

Strawberry Teacher eventually had to reveal the answer: “We can buy candles; as long as the candles are lit, their flames would light up the entire classroom.”

Below, Shen Qinghan grumbled, “I really want Strawberry Teacher’s reward, but I’m too silly to answer…”

Hearing the little girl’s grumble, Lin Zichen stood up, looked towards Strawberry Teacher on the lectern, and said, “Strawberry Teacher, I don’t think candles will work.”

“Oh?” Strawberry Teacher was a bit surprised, not expecting any child to outright refute the standard answer.

Curious, she smiled and asked Lin Zichen, “Zi Chen, why won’t candles work?”

Lin Zichen replied, “Because the classroom has tables, chairs, and all sorts of things. In the candlelight, these things will all cast shadows.”

Upon hearing this, Strawberry Teacher’s eyes lit up.

Although Lin Zichen’s answer seemed a bit nitpicky, she liked this kind of thoughtful child.

“Then, Zi Chen, what do you think could fill up an entire classroom?”

Strawberry Teacher asked this question as a formality, not really 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 reply dazzled her.

“I would use the 100 yuan to buy a dress for Strawberry Teacher, and then the joy of Strawberry Teacher receiving the dress would fill the entire classroom.”

“You, you want to give me a dress?”

Strawberry Teacher’s eyes widened in disbelief.

This answer was too perfect!

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

Am I dreaming?

Strawberry Teacher suddenly felt as though she had indeed received a dress, charmed by the four-year-old Lin Zichen.

After class.

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

“Zi Chen, Strawberry Teacher really liked your answer in class. As a reward, this puzzle toy is for you. Strawberry Teacher hopes you will become even more intelligent.”

“Thank you, Strawberry Teacher.”

Lin Zichen accepted the gift, feeling utterly indifferent.

With the “Divine Wisdom Root” attribute, he didn’t need a puzzle toy to help develop his intelligence.

The gift was of no use to him.

Thus, as soon as he returned to the classroom, he gave the puzzle toy to Shen Qinghan.

Receiving the gift made Shen Qinghan very happy. She held onto the puzzle toy and couldn’t let go, her eyes full of her Zi Chen.
