The Feynman Learning Method.
Simply put, it means teaching others what you’re learning.
When you teach someone, you engage your independent thinking and reinforce your grasp of the knowledge a second time.
Once you can explain it clearly to someone else,
then you’ve truly mastered that concept.
Lin Yu found this method reliable at first glance.
But here’s the problem—
actually putting it into practice was a bit tricky.
Where was he supposed to find someone whose grades were worse than his, who was eager to learn, and who actually wanted him to teach them?
Thinking back on everyone he’d met since that bizarre twist of fate—transmigrating here—
aside from Tang Manman,
the rest of them were a bunch of useless lumps who couldn’t be propped up against a wall.
They didn’t even want to improve their grades.
Seriously,
in their class, if someone occasionally did homework, they’d get mocked for it.
A total bunch of deadbeats!
Lin Yu couldn’t help rubbing his forehead in frustration.
Then—bingo!
A flash of inspiration hit him.
He actually remembered one lump who did want to climb that wall.
Gu Yue had asked him before if she could improve her grades, right?
She’d even volunteered for him to teach her.
He wondered if she was still sticking with her studies now...
Pulling out his phone, Lin Yu messaged Gu Yue.
Long Aotian: Whatcha doing?
Top Student (replied instantly): Studying.
Long Aotian: ?
Long Aotian: Seriously?
Long Aotian: I find that hard to believe.
Long Aotian: You can study and still reply to me that fast?
After Lin Yu sent that message, almost ten seconds passed without a reply from Gu Yue, like she was stumped by the question.
But it didn’t take too long—her response came through.
Top Student: It’s because I’m studying that I’m quick to reply.
Top Student: When you’re studying,
Top Student: the slightest distraction becomes super tempting.
Top Student: °(°´ᯅ`°)°
On his end of the screen,
Lin Yu nodded in deep agreement after reading what she sent.
Fair point.
If she could grasp even that little trick, it seemed like she really had been putting effort into studying lately.
He tapped on his phone to continue the conversation.
Long Aotian: Want me to be your tutor?
Long Aotian: One lesson costs just one bottle of soda.
Long Aotian: Winter special—great value.
Long Aotian: A steal.
Long Aotian: Don’t miss out, or it’ll be gone!
Lin Yu was really selling himself hard.
And you know what?
It actually kind of worked!
When your only option left comes down to one person,
Lin Yu found himself feeling a little nervous, worried she might say no.
Top Student: Really?
Gu Yue seemed a bit skeptical.
Long Aotian: Really!
Lin Yu threw in an exclamation point to show sincerity.
Top Student: I want it!
Top Student: I want it!!
Top Student: I want it!!!!!!!
Top Student: (p≧w≦q)
Top Student: (Picture attached)
Gu Yue fired off a string of messages, ending with a sticker of a puppy shaking its butt with a flashing light, acting like it was partying.
She looked like she was about to explode with happiness.
Long Aotian: OK.
Long Aotian: I’ll go home in a bit and call you on video.
Long Aotian: I’ll help you review.
Long Aotian: Get you turned into a real Top Student!
Lin Yu waved his big hand and casually dangled a golden promise in front of Gu Yue.
But this time, he didn’t get her usual praise or cheers.
Instead, he got three punctuation marks.
Top Student: …
Long Aotian: ?
Long Aotian: What’s up?
Lin Yu was puzzled.
Top Student: Brother Long, didn’t you say tutoring… (This message took nine seconds to send)
Top Student: How come it turned into a video call… (This message took eleven seconds to send)
Watching her send those messages slowly, almost hesitantly,
Lin Yu had question marks popping up over his head.
“Tutoring” had just slipped out of his mouth.
Going to Gu Yue’s house to teach her?
That hadn’t even crossed his mind.
Long Aotian: To your place?
Long Aotian: Is that okay?
Lin Yu was a bit hesitant.
He felt like it might not be quite right.
Top Student: What’s bad about it?
Top Student: If you come to my place, it’ll be more convenient for teaching.
Top Student: Otherwise, talking through a phone screen is so tiring.
Top Student: (๑•ᴗ•๑)
Reading her messages, Lin Yu rubbed his chin, thinking she had a point.
Teaching face-to-face would indeed be easier.
But…
He still decided against it.
Lin Yu didn’t plan to go to her home.
The reason was simple:
He was lazy.
He didn’t want to drag himself over there.
Teaching her over a video call would be fine, as far as he was concerned.
How much she actually learned? That was up to her luck!
With that laid-back mindset of doing as little as possible, Lin Yu messaged Gu Yue to turn down her invitation…
…
“Brother Long?”
“Brother Long?”
Gu Yue called out in a soft, cautious voice, her lively eyes carrying a hint of playful mischief.
“Are you okay?”
Lin Yu leaned back against the wooden chair in his rented room.
His arms hung loosely by his sides, eyes shut—he looked like he’d already checked out of this world.
It took a good while before he opened his eyes with a dull expression, staring at Gu Yue on his phone screen and muttering weakly:
“Tomorrow.”
“I’ll come to your place.”
“Teach you in person.”
Gu Yue’s face lit up with excitement, and she gushed happily:
“Really?
“I told you!
“Teaching through the phone is so tiring!
“And the results aren’t that great!
“Brother Long, what time are you coming tomorrow?”
She leaned forward, cupping her cheeks with her hands like pistachio shells holding a nut, her eyes sparkling as she asked.
“Around ten or so.”
Lin Yu slumped back in the chair, then nodded with resignation and said:
“Gu Yue,
“You’re right about one thing—
“For tutoring,
“it’s better to do it face-to-face.”
“When it’s through this phone screen,
“I can see you, but I can’t hit you.”
Lin Yu bared a row of gleaming white teeth, glaring like he wanted to take a bite out of someone.
“And man, do I hate that!”
Under his fiery gaze, all but blazing through the screen,
Gu Yue shrunk back,
looking a little sheepish.
She knew she was in the wrong.
Let alone high school material—she hadn’t even understood some middle school topics.
After all, she’d let her studies slide since the second half of eighth grade.
Now that she was trying to pick them back up, it was naturally tough.
Glancing at Lin Yu’s flushed face on the screen, she winced slightly.
Somewhere in her conscience, she felt bad that her struggles put him in such a sour mood.
Oh well.
Since it had come to this, might as well rely on being cute.
Gu Yue suddenly tilted her head, stuck out her tongue, and gave an exaggerated, playful wink at the camera.
Lin Yu stared at her on the screen—
her cute blinking and tongue-out attempt at a wink.
He froze for a moment.
Then erupted in rage.
Damn!
Still daring to provoke!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
