Chapter Twelve: Opportunity for Development
Early autumn, it's already somewhat cool and clear, with stars and moon shining brightly, the sky is still a deep blue, and the planet Venus has not yet appeared.
It's now 5:40 in the morning, under the light of his bedroom lamp, Su Can flipped open his language textbook to page 62, "Review", and at this time, the first volume of high school language textbook only had 162 pages. For him who had been reborn once, the word "preview" really couldn't be used to describe his current review of past knowledge points.
He regained his footing in junior high school and consolidated the foundation, then took another step to absorb a large amount of knowledge in high school. Su Can was like a sponge absorbing these things. The most important thing in high school Chinese is to master the basic framework of the national language system. However, under the current education system, Chinese Language and Literature has become a subject with strong practicality. In Su Can's impression, many students practiced a lot of questions, concentrated on cramming, and after a series of difficult training, their scores could also see results, but that was just the score. The application and mastery of Chinese characters required by the entire question system remained a difficult pass to conquer.
This is due to the fact that current education has too strong a utilitarian and purposeful nature, and many people are not aware of its importance. The reason why language and literature are called national studies is precisely because they embody the values and worldview of a nation's culture, and are symbols of the entire nation's spiritual civilization. Without this attitude and height to learn these things, it will inevitably become dull and tasteless.
For Su Can, who had laid a solid foundation in report writing for future generations, reviewing the current language and grammar was almost like a fish in water. However, during this era, the internet had not yet become widespread, and the vast knowledge base of search engines had not yet taken shape. When he encountered unfamiliar characters that he didn't understand, he still found it difficult. Fortunately, on Su Can's desk, there was a thick copy of "The Chinese Dictionary", which in his eyes was currently priceless.
In this era, there is limited information available for reference. He must make extensive contact, although Su Can's mind does not have a systematic plan. Looking back to the past, if it was just about not repeating the same mistakes, it would seem narrow-minded.
But he doesn't know what to do now, should he not learn high school content and turn to help his parents with business, fight for a place in the market, and easily become a billionaire like others? This might be feasible, but the corresponding resistance is also huge. First of all, from the perspective of people in his own family, it's extremely crazy. In some ways, this is equivalent to a gamble, if he loses too badly, Su Can, who is now more stable, lacks too many things, and if he relies solely on his precognitive abilities, he won't even know how he'll die in the end.
Moreover, Su Can only felt that what he was learning at this stage was not substantial enough for him to enhance his own strength, so he was quietly arming himself.
From Su Can's current perspective, the scope of knowledge in high school seems a bit narrow and limited. Since absorbing knowledge is now the most suitable thing for him to do, and it also conforms to the principle of minimizing risk and maximizing benefits, why can't he take this path?
Let's get back to Su Can's misfortune in later generations. Although he attributed it to his academic qualifications and bad luck, he also had the disadvantage of being unable to endure hardships himself. As early as his student days, he did not develop strong learning abilities and the ability to apply what he learned. Therefore, in future society, he repeatedly encountered powerful opponents and suffered heavy losses several times, all due to his own insufficient inner strength.
Since I've been reborn, I don't have a prestigious family background or any external forces to rely on, so I can only rely on my own inner strength to guide my destiny.
Now reviewing each subject system is just one of Su Canpeng's "Sponge Plan", he wants to enrich his inner skills.
Made a plan, Su Can sleeps at 11 o'clock every day and gets up at 5:30, then starts the long review. Although it is a summary of all knowledge points in each subject of high school, it is like a vast ocean, involving complex connections.
However, Su Can Sheng was able to grasp the key points, and at times, a difficult point would be grasped, and many connections could be made. Therefore, with a complete and organized review plan, Su Can's understanding of these knowledge points became clearer and broader, rather than being muddled like in his previous life. Of course, this was also due to the fact that he was an adult with mature thinking and brainpower to tackle all of this, which was his advantage.
After all, if we use the formula of psychology to define IQ, the higher the ratio of mental age to actual age, the higher the IQ. So he is already a high-IQ prodigy now.
In the first semester of high school, he has reviewed one-third of the language and literature within a month of attending classes. He has also finished the third chapter of the math textbook, specifically the section on "the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence", which is almost at the end of the book. In addition, he has completed more than half of the physics and chemistry textbooks.
As for historical politics, Su Can felt a bit helpless. He thought back to his student days when he had headaches from memorizing and reciting, but after starting work, he found himself enthusiastically reading biographies of ancient celebrities and histories of various dynasties.
Of course, perhaps at that time there wasn't the kind of body like "Certain Dynasty Those Things" and so on in later generations, and one's original self also didn't have the current awareness and patience.
If junior high school English focuses on vocabulary accumulation, then high school English formally enters the study of grammar phrases and practical English. Su Can copied all the tenses he had encountered into a notebook, threw away his English book, and went to a bookstore to buy the entire set of "New Concept English". According to Su Can's impression, "New Concept English" may not be some profound teaching material, but in terms of practicality and scientificity, it has been widely used and affirmed by later generations. The first four volumes that Su Can bought were the 1997 new edition, and the content inside looked a bit outdated in the eyes of Su Can, a contemporary person. However, it cannot be denied that this is still a classic worthy of being revered as a model.
Three books are already enough to meet the English requirements for three years of high school, and the fourth book has long exceeded the scope of high school. However, under the premise that Su Can fully absorbs the amount of knowledge, he naturally welcomes it.
Of course, Su Can didn't think he could do it flawlessly. After all, even in high school, the amount of knowledge contained was very large, not to mention some exercises in science, many times, having a quantitative accumulation would lead to qualitative change, just like even if Su Can reviewed the second chapter of functions in his first year of high school, he could handle medium-difficulty questions, but if he encountered difficult questions, his accuracy might be less than half, and the time spent would be a lot, this was the limitation.
In the process of seeking knowledge, it's not always easy. Sometimes without a difficult process, you can't see the phoenix's nirvana evolution.
Su Can plans to spend three months integrating the content of the first year of high school, which is just a starting point.
He brought back a large number of books from the bookstore, not only reference books, but also some finance, current events, military, political programs, external references, world geography, and some popular "Overseas" magazines at that time. Su Can moved all of them into his home. As a result, the money given by his elder brother during the holiday was soon used up, but Su Can never felt that the money was spent so worthily.
Of course, it's impossible to become a master by reading just one book. Su Can is also only ensuring that he can absorb the acceptable amount of knowledge every day in his studies.
This is similar to martial arts, a person with an underdeveloped meridian system will not be able to make use of their inner strength no matter how much they accumulate, expanding one's horizons and broadening one's knowledge is the true royal path. Besides constantly widening one's field of vision and recharging one's knowledge, improving one's efficiency in studying and learning ability is what Su Can subconsciously wants to do.
There was a moment when Su Can felt like a software engineer, because any existing skill in a rapidly developing society would face rapid elimination. So, how to quickly get familiar with new things or knowledge is the real ability needed for future development.
In the past when computers were not prevalent and extracurricular life was not richly developed, Su Can would set aside a portion of his time after finishing his daily review to read these books.
Because of his dedication and focus, he is more able to ignore the rumors and gossip that circulate in the intimidating city.
People always have a considerable capacity for forgetting, especially in places where gossip is a source of entertainment. There will always be constantly flowing information, and after just a few weeks, the fervor over Su Can's confession to Chen Lingxuan that had swept through the class and grade began to slowly fade away.
Just refer to the entertainment circle and endless online hype of later generations, and you can get the truth.
While attending the No. 1 Middle School in the city, riding a bike to school was not very convenient, so Su Can preferred to take the bus No. 8 which he could board at the gate of his home, therefore, the bicycle he got as a reward for doing well in the entrance exam for senior high schools was mostly used as a vehicle for him to visit his uncle's home on weekends.
Zeng Quanming's bookcase held over a thousand world-renowned classics, various forbidden and destroyed books, even books on cultural relic appreciation. Most of the time, he wouldn't read them; they were just for show, a kind of facade in official circles, meant to be seen by visiting guests.
Su Can would carry a bag back and forth between his uncle's house and his own, borrowing one or two famous works every week. Sometimes he'd spend an entire afternoon at his uncle's house, as the summer heat gradually dissipated and the grass turned yellow. In this bleak autumn, Su Can began to reacquaint himself with the unfamiliar Keats, the indulgent Dante, and the frenzied Nietzsche... Previously, Su Can had thought that literature was alien and shallow to him, but now he deeply understood that it was the key to unlocking the entire spiritual world.
Su Cang also felt his heart slowly filling up, facing a large amount of knowledge intake, and he was just able to absorb it without feeling too full or too hungry. This situation is very harmonious and is the premise for stable development.
This situation of being a freshman in high school but having the mindset of a senior in hell, probably only Su Can possesses.
Similarly, I have been frequenting my elder sister's house for meals over the recent weekends, eating a lot of her snacks. Apart from improving my relationship with my sister, I also heard about many new developments in the municipal government.
Economically and politically developed Su Can directly skipped, he only chose the key points. The municipal government will establish the first batch of designated procurement units to standardize the entire municipal government procurement procedures and regulations. A batch of inspection teams will be set up by the Municipal Commerce Committee to audit the designated procurement units for various types of municipal government public goods.
Su Can understood that an opportunity for his family's shop had finally arrived.
