Li Chengqian awakens to find himself reborn at Tianyi High School, 100 days before the college entrance examination, aiming to avert the tragedy of his previous life. Despite his initial joy, he struggles to understand his English class and faces mockery from his wealthy classmate, Liu Daqiang. Suddenly, a game interface for 'All-Class Master' appears, offering him a 'Student Class' and a path to gaining knowledge and skills.

“If All-Class Master actually functions in reality…”

“As long as I can level up my Student Class to Level 7 and refine my elementary, middle, and high school knowledge to Perfection, I should be able to achieve full marks on the college entrance examination.”

“I recall that in the game, one could acquire the Student Class’s Experience Bar by reading books and attending lectures!”

“Every minute spent reading would grant 1 Experience Bar! Attending a teacher’s lecture for one minute would bestow 10 Experience Bars.”

“I wonder if the rules for gaining Experience Bars are consistent in real life?” A thought sparked in Li Chengqian’s mind. He then refocused his attention on Teacher Wang Jianjia’s ongoing lecture.

His objective was to confirm whether the rules for acquiring Experience Bars within the All-Class Master game, from his past life, were indeed applicable in the present reality.

Merely a minute later, lines of text materialized before his eyes.

[You have accumulated 1 minute of listening time in class. You have received 10 Experience Bars.]

[Your Student Class level has increased to Level 1 (9/10).]

[Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 11 points.]

[You have obtained Skill: Focus (Entry 0/1).]

[Focus: While in a concentrated state, your memory and comprehension abilities will be greatly enhanced. You will perceive ten lines at a glance and possess a photographic memory. Skill Duration: 10 minutes. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

Li Chengqian observed the flashing notifications, his heart filled with immense excitement.

These occurrences mirrored precisely those of the All-Class Master game he had played in his previous existence. There was no deviation, neither in the method of acquiring Experience Bars nor in the skills unlocked upon leveling up his Class.

“I must not celebrate prematurely. I still need to ascertain if these skills genuinely function in reality!” Li Chengqian stifled the burgeoning excitement within him. The time for elation had not yet arrived.

Only when he had confirmed that all the functionalities and skills present in the All-Class Master game were effective in the real world could he truly feel at ease.

Verifying the efficacy of the All-Class Master game's functions in reality was surprisingly straightforward.

The crucial test was whether the Focus Skill he had just acquired could take effect in real life…

Should it prove effective, it would signify that all the functions of All-Class Master had indeed transcended into his current existence.

The unbelievable capabilities within the game were poised to become tangible realities.

In that instant, Li Chengqian’s thoughts raced to the formidable classes and the game-breaking skills featured in the game, causing him to inhale sharply.

He then deliberately suppressed his exhilaration and shifted his focus towards the newly acquired skills.

“Activate the Focus Skill.”

The moment the skill was engaged, Li Chengqian perceived a distinct and palpable transformation.

He felt as though an epiphany had struck him, his mind becoming exceptionally lucid. His surroundings appeared incredibly sharp, with myriad thoughts ceaselessly flashing through his consciousness.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, yet he resolutely continued his experiments. Sensory changes could often be influenced by psychological factors.

However, psychological influences alone could not grant an ordinary person a photographic memory.

“Read! To confirm if I can speed-read ten lines at once and possess a photographic memory.” Li Chengqian’s gaze settled upon his English textbook.

At a single glance, he absorbed the entirety of a page’s content.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes and attempted to recall the information. To his astonishment, he found he had retained every single word without omission.

“It’s real!” At this precise moment, Li Chengqian became unequivocally certain that the abilities from the All-Class Master game could genuinely be integrated into the real world.

To maximize the utility of his Focus Skill’s active duration, he suppressed his overwhelming joy and swiftly began to turn the pages. With the enhancements of speed reading and photographic memory, memorizing the entire content required merely two seconds per page.

Ten minutes elapsed, marking the conclusion of the Focus Skill’s effect. He had successfully skimmed through the entire Year Three English textbook.

Closing the book, he mentally revisited its contents. From the initial page to the very last, he even remembered the page numbers and recalled every punctuation mark with perfect accuracy.

“It truly works! This isn’t a hallucination!” Li Chengqian’s excitement escalated to the point where his body began to tremble.

[You have read for 10 minutes. You have received 10 Experience Bars.]

[Your Student Class level has increased to Level 1 (9/10).]

[Your Intelligence Stats +1. Current Intelligence: 11 points.]

Following the augmentation of his Intelligence Stats, Li Chengqian perceived a remarkable clarity in his mind. It was akin to the sensation of waking from a deep slumber, feeling groggy, and then suddenly becoming fully alert after a splash of cold water to the face.

Li Chengqian observed that with this increase of 2 points in his Intelligence Stats, his cognitive functions, logical reasoning capabilities, and even his memory had undergone profound and significant improvements.

“Incredible! Absolutely astonishing!” This alteration was vastly different from merely augmenting two Stats within the game. In the digital realm, Stat increases were superficial numbers, but in reality, this enhancement was palpable.

After confirming the game's cheat functionality was fully operational, Li Chengqian set aside his book, directing his full attention to Teacher Wang’s lecture.

10 Experience Bars for every minute spent listening to a lecture, and a mere 1 Experience Bar for each minute of reading!

The tenfold disparity made the optimal choice obvious to anyone.

Listening to lectures emerged as the superior option, with reading books settling for second place.

Paying close heed to Teacher Wang’s discourse, Li Chengqian began to perceive the profound difference.

By employing the Focus Skill, he imprinted all the Year Three English vocabulary onto his memory. Consequently, he also memorized the complete set of 600 words designated for Year Three study.

This immediate realization brought forth a pang of difficulty for Li Chengqian during Teacher Wang Jianjia’s lecture; he could only grasp a fraction of the content.

However, this was a significant improvement compared to his previous state, where not a single word registered.

Simultaneously, owing to his augmented intelligence and the complete memorization of the Year Three English textbook, he had internalized a vast quantity of words without fully comprehending their meanings. Yet, whenever these words surfaced during the lecture, he found himself capable of retaining most of them.

Therefore, Li Chengqian remained rigorously attentive to the class.

By the conclusion of the single lesson, his vocabulary count had surged by 150 words.

Regarding grammar, through the concepts elucidated in the teacher’s lecture and cross-referenced with the textbook he had committed to memory, he managed to grasp the overarching principles.

The knowledge acquired in this one lesson surpassed everything he had learned during his three years of high school in his previous existence!

As the class ended, lines of text materialized on the translucent webpage before Li Chengqian’s eyes.

[You have attended class for 23 minutes. You have earned 230 Experience Bars.]

[Your Student Class level has advanced to Level 3 (221/30).]

[Your Intelligence Stat has increased by 1. Current Intelligence: 11 points.]

[You have acquired the Skill: Elementary School Knowledge (Proficient 30/60).]

The instant the Elementary School Knowledge Skill manifested, Li Chengqian’s mind was flooded with recollections of all his elementary school classes and their respective contents. Upon deeper reflection, he could even recall the majority of his textbook material.

“The All-Class Master game in reality truly diverges from its digital counterpart,” Li Chengqian mused with a sigh.

In its real-world iteration, the All-Class Master game integrated the host’s acquired knowledge directly into skills. Much like the Elementary School Knowledge skill, it assimilated Li Chengqian’s existing understanding and solidified it thoroughly.

Within the game itself, all skills commenced at the Novice level.
