NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15 Intelligence Upgrade
Simple?
Had they heard wrong? Or had Ye Fan gone mad???
Did the problem on the blackboard have anything to do with being simple?
"What did you say?"
Deng Yu rubbed his ears, finding it utterly ridiculous.
Qi Wenjue, on the other hand, looked at Ye Fan with interest. He had a very high opinion of this transfer student.
In the last class, Ye Fan's performance had been very impressive. Now that he had spoken with such confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant. "Ye Fan, why do you say this problem is simple?"
"Because it's simple."
Ye Fan smiled calmly. He didn't mean to grandstand, he was just stating the facts.
He wasn't interested in pretending to be weak to surprise people.
Things were what they were.
He wouldn't actively seek attention, but he wouldn't deliberately keep a low profile either. Everything should take its natural course.
A boy in the second row said sarcastically, "Hmph, anyone can talk big!"
"Can you?"
Ye Fan glanced at the boy and pointed to the blackboard. "If so, then you come up here."
The boy: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond, his face turning red and white.
"Quiet!"
Qi Wenjue's gaze swept across the classroom, finally landing on Ye Fan. He smiled and said, "Ye Fan, tell us how to solve this problem."
Ning Xi bit her lip lightly and stared at Ye Fan sideways, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Dozens of eyes in the classroom focused on Ye Fan. His expression was extremely calm, his voice low.
"Let the horizontal velocity be V, the flight time from A to B be t. Then the horizontal displacement from A to B is: X = V * t; the vertical displacement from A to B is: Y = 1/2 * g * t^2. The time of flight t is given by: t = 2 * V * sin(alpha) / g.
Therefore, the horizontal velocity at point B is Vx = V, and the vertical velocity is Vy = g * t. So if the angle between the resultant velocity and the horizontal plane is theta, then tan(theta) = Vy / V = g * t / V. Therefore, the angle between the velocity of the object when it lands at point B and the horizontal plane is not a fixed value, as it depends on the time of flight."
Having said that, he nodded slightly at Qi Wenjue and said, "Mr. Qi, just set up an equation for the rest, can I sit down now?"
"Oh... yes."
Qi Wenjue was a little amazed. This student's physics ability was too high.
He couldn't help but praise, "Ye Fan's thought process is correct. If you have any questions you don't understand in the future, you can ask him for advice."
"..."
All the students couldn't help but look at each other.
What this meant was crystal clear.
Ye Fan got it right?
Holy shit!!!
Deng Yu's face was extremely ugly. He said unwillingly, "Teacher, we haven't checked the answer yet, what Ye Fan said might not be right."
Qi Wenjue looked at Deng Yu meaningfully and asked, "Are you questioning my ability?"
As a teacher, he was well aware of Deng Yu's thoughts.
He was just unconvinced!
Deng Yu quickly denied it. "I... I'm not."
"That's best."
Qi Wenjue snorted coldly and said loudly, "Ye Fan's thought process is correct. Now, I'll explain it to you in detail. Listen carefully."
"Following Ye Fan's thought process, first let the horizontal velocity be V, the flight time from A to B..."
Most of the students listened to Qi Wenjue's explanation in a daze, and only a few top students could understand.
Ning Xi was one of them. She listened attentively and took careful notes.
She couldn't help but give Ye Fan, who was sitting behind her, a thumbs-up in her heart. The more she listened, the more she realized the gap between her and Ye Fan. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
He was so good!
With his level, he could participate in physics competitions, right?
And it was even possible for him to win a prize!
While she was amazed, Ning Xi also felt pressured.
As the physics representative of Class 2, her physics scores could only barely rank in the top five of the class.
Now, with the appearance of a god-level figure like Ye Fan, she might not even be able to make it into the top five anymore.
"Ring—"
The bell rang for the end of class.
The drowsy students suddenly jolted awake and became energetic again.
As soon as Qi Wenjue left, the classroom instantly emptied, leaving only a few top students still studying.
Ning Xi turned around and placed a sheet of scratch paper in front of Ye Fan, asking politely, "Ye Fan, can you take a look at this for me?"
"Of course."
Ye Fan nodded and quickly scanned the scratch paper. He said, "Xiao Xi..."
"Um... Ye Fan, just call me Ning Xi, otherwise it's easy for people to misunderstand."
A faint blush appeared on Ning Xi's pretty face. Every time Ye Fan called her Xiao Xi, she felt a strange sensation.
She didn't dislike it, on the contrary, she felt a sense of closeness.
Ye Fan was the only boy who made her feel this way, which made the girl very puzzled.
However, to avoid suspicion, she couldn't help but remind him again.
"Okay."
Ye Fan readily agreed and pointed to the third step on the scratch paper. "Xiao Xi, there's a small problem here."
"..."
Ning Xi stared blankly at Ye Fan, helplessness written all over her small face.
Why was this person like this?
He agreed so readily, but...
Sigh...
"Xiao Xi, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Fan waved his hand in front of Ning Xi's eyes and smiled. "You can't learn the solution if you're daydreaming, focus."
Ning Xi's clear eyes held a hint of resentment, and her red lips parted slightly. "Ye Fan, you promised, why are you still calling me that? We... we've only known each other for a day, it's not appropriate for you to call me that."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and asked back, "What's wrong with it?"
"I think it's fine! Don't you think so?"
"..."
Ning Xi opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything.
Looking at Ye Fan's smiling face, she felt her face burning. "I... I won't ask you anymore!"
With that, she snatched the scratch paper from Ye Fan's hand, quickly turned around, buried her head on the desk, and her heart was in turmoil.
Watching Ning Xi's actions, the corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes filled with infinite affection.
It was just the beginning, he would take it slow.
Let her slowly accept it.
Slowly get used to his presence...
………………
For the next three days, Ning Xi didn't say a word to Ye Fan, as if they were from two different worlds.
As for Ye Fan?
He wasn't in a hurry, and he wasn't surprised by Ning Xi's attitude at all. That was just her personality.
For the past three days, he had been gaining experience points whenever he could.
Gaining experience points in class, gaining experience points after class, gaining experience points while lying down at home, gaining experience points from all angles...
"Reading for ten minutes, experience points +1."
"Reading for ten minutes, experience points +1."
"Book finished reading, experience points +1."
Hearing the system reward for finishing a book in his mind, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
At home, when he finished reading a book, the experience points for finishing a book were always 5 points, but now it was only 1 point. What was going on?
Could it be that the system was embezzling funds???
System: "..."
"Host, the amount of experience points gained for finishing a book depends on the value of the book."
"Is that so?"
Ye Fan glanced at the physics workbook in his hand and couldn't help but curl his lips.
If he had known this earlier, why would he have bought a workbook? What a waste!
Looking at the time, there were still a few minutes left before class ended. Ye Fan brought up the attribute panel and looked at it.
【Host】: Ye Fan
【Knowledge】: Level 3 (0/2000)
【Intelligence】: Level 1 (20/100)
【Martial Arts】: Level 1 (10/100)
【Medical Skills】: Level 1 (0/100)
【Merit Points】: 0
【Experience Points】: 142
Seeing the experience points on the attribute panel, a satisfied smile appeared on Ye Fan's face. This was the fruit of his labor for the past three days.
However, he was now in a dilemma. Which ability should he upgrade first?
Intelligence seemed pretty good, Martial Arts was also fine, and Medical Skills was decent...
After thinking about it, Ye Fan still couldn't make a decision. His gaze landed on the Merit Points.
He had long wanted to ask what Merit Points were for, but he had been busy gaining experience points and hadn't had the time.
Now that he had nothing to do, it was a good time to ask.
"System, what are these Merit Points? And how do I get them?"
The system's sweet voice rang out again. "The Merit Points function is not yet available, please stay tuned."
Ye Fan asked, "When will it be available? Or what conditions need to be met for it to be available?"
Fortunately, when he was studying in his previous life, he had read many web novels about this kind of thing, so he was no stranger to the existence of golden fingers.
"To unlock the Merit Points function, the host's abilities need to reach Level 3 or above. The system will automatically upgrade then, and the Merit Points function will be unlocked after the upgrade is complete."
After hearing the system's explanation, Ye Fan nodded slightly.
All abilities reaching Level 3 or above?
This wasn't difficult. Based on the current rate of gaining experience points from reading, if he maintained his current pace, he would be able to upgrade all his abilities to Level 3 within two months at most.
Having figured this out, Ye Fan didn't hesitate anymore.
Anyway, he had to upgrade the three abilities besides Knowledge on the attribute panel. It wouldn't make much difference whether he did it a few days earlier or later.
"Upgrade Intelligence."
"Consuming 80 experience points. Congratulations to the host, Intelligence has reached Level 2. 62 experience points remaining."
As the system's voice rang out, Ye Fan felt a wonderful sensation in his mind.
He had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. His mind was clear, and it seemed like his thinking had become much faster.
"So this is Level 2 Intelligence? Not bad!"
On the podium, Yang Ting's eyes flickered slightly. She put down the textbook in her hand. "Ye Fan, come and tell us the answer to the reading comprehension on the blackboard."
Instantly, all the students looked over.
Ye Fan was completely oblivious to all this. He was still immersed in the wonderful experience of upgrading his Intelligence.
At this moment, Ye Fan was resting his chin on one hand, his gaze looking out the window. His blatant daydreaming caused a burst of laughter.
"This guy is finished!"
"He actually dares to daydream in the homeroom teacher's class? Tsk tsk, I can only admire his courage!"
"Good luck to you!"
Ning Xi discreetly kicked back with her left foot and whispered without turning her head, "Ye Fan, the teacher is calling you."
She didn't know why she did that, it was purely instinctive.
But as soon as she did it, she regretted it.
Because of the way he addressed her, she had deliberately ignored Ye Fan these past few days.
Now, her actions had completely ruined her efforts.
Thinking of this, the girl buried her head in frustration, feeling a little discouraged.
Ning Xi, Ning Xi, what are you thinking?
Why did you take the initiative to talk to him??
Feeling the movement on his foot, Ye Fan came back to his senses. Seeing everyone staring at him, he was a little confused.
He stood up silently and asked, "Teacher, did you call me?"
"Hahaha..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Wenhao and Deng Yu, on the other hand, were overjoyed and started mocking him sarcastically.
"Oh, as expected of a transferred top student, you even dare to daydream in the homeroom teacher's class? How arrogant!"
"Yeah, does Ye Fan think that the homeroom teacher can't teach him anything?"
"Both of you shut up!" Yang Ting's face darkened. She glanced at Zhao Wenhao and Deng Yu, and the smiles on their faces instantly disappeared. They obediently closed their mouths.
She pointed to the blackboard and questioned Ye Fan, "What's the answer to this reading comprehension question?"
Ye Fan glanced at the content on the blackboard, and the answer was already in his mind. "Teacher Yang, the answer should be A, 'noticed some of the boys on the field were heisting!'"
Yang Ting was stunned, her heart filled with surprise.
He actually answered correctly???
"The author really knows math! I checked it out, and it's correct. Nicely done
