1: Rebirth after being hit by a basketball

"Bang!"

A basketball flew over and hit Guo Hao squarely in the face.

Guo Hao instantly saw stars, and his body involuntarily toppled backward.

"Hey! Haozi!"

A companion nearby instinctively reached out to support Guo Hao.

Guo Hao's mind was in a chaotic daze, his ears filled with buzzing sounds.

The sounds of concern, seemingly near and far, had become somewhat blurred.

After a while, Guo Hao opened his eyes again.

All around were pairs of concerned eyes; their faces were so young, so familiar.

"Haozi, are you okay?"

Guo Hao looked at the face before him, a face buried deep within his memories.

"Wang Xi? I'm fine."

Guo Hao spoke instinctively.

"Phew!"

Hearing Guo Hao speak, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, alright, Guo Hao is fine. You guys go back to playing!"

Wang Xi said to the onlookers nearby.

The expressions of the young men in basketball jerseys visibly relaxed.

"Sorry, brother! My pass was off, and I hit you."

The young men apologized to Guo Hao one after another.

After speaking, they dispersed.

By this time, Guo Hao's mind was completely muddled.

These familiar scenes, these green yet familiar faces.

Has he... been reborn?

"Hey, your brain didn't really get smashed, did it? How about I take you to the infirmary?"

Wang Xi looked at the dazed Guo Hao.

"No, no."

Guo Hao's voice sounded a bit rusty.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The class bell rang.

"Oh no, this period is math class! Let's run!"

Hearing the bell, Wang Xi's face changed instantly. He spoke to the Guo Hao beside him and pulled him up.

Following the still-dazed Guo Hao, he quickly ran back to the classroom.

"Phew! Thankfully, the math teacher hasn't arrived yet!"

Wang Xi looked at the somewhat chaotic classroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Hao looked at this scene from deep within his memories; it felt just like a dream, with people familiar yet strange, and familiar scenes.

"Hurry back to your seat. If that menopausal old witch catches us, we'll have to stand in the back again. Last time we were ten minutes late, she forced us to call our parents to school."

Wang Xi shrank his neck and hurried to say to Guo Hao.

Guo Hao's mind was still a mess, but relying on physical instinct, he returned to his seat.

Soon, the math teacher walked into the classroom.

"Clap!"

Teacher Wang slammed the test papers in his hand onto the podium, looking very displeased.

"This time, your class's math exam results are out, and they are terrible! Fifty-three people! Only twenty people passed! Wake up! There are only three months left until the College Entrance Examination! What are you all thinking?!"

"Now, those whose names I call, come up and get your test papers!"

...

"Zhao Ming, 87 points!"

"Wang Zheng, 99 points!"

...

As Teacher Wang called out the names of the students, matching the names to those young faces, the memories buried in Guo Hao's mind surged forth like a tide.

It's real, he really has been reborn!

Guo Hao looked at the scene before him with eyes full of vicissitudes.

Before his rebirth, he was the boss of a small company, having struggled in society for over a decade.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would return to the time before the College Entrance Examination.

Starting over?

Guo Hao didn't have any regrets. Returning to the period before the College Entrance Examination, with his experience from all those years of navigating society, making money was the easiest thing.

It is now 2012.

With the knowledge of future trends in his mind, getting rich? That was the simplest thing. Whether it's bitcoin, sports betting, or real estate, countless opportunities were waiting for him.

Even though many of Guo Hao's memories were a bit blurry, relying on his precise understanding of the big picture, getting rich still wouldn't be difficult.

It's just that...

Returning to the past, money is a small matter; making up for lost youth and past regrets is what really matters!

Thinking of this, Guo Hao scanned the familiar young faces around him, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

"Guo Hao! 37 points!"

The voice from the podium startled Guo Hao awake.

After a moment of shock, Guo Hao quickly stood up and slowly walked to the side of the podium.

The surrounding students' gazes were all fixed on Guo Hao.

Teacher Wang's expression toward Guo Hao was very unpleasant.

"Guo Hao! Did you come to school to study or to slack off? 37 points! If I stepped on the answer sheet with my foot, I might get that score! If you don't want to study, don't waste time here! School is a place for studying, not a place for you to slack off!"

Teacher Wang said to Guo Hao, wishing he would live up to expectations.

"I was wrong, Teacher Wang. I will definitely study hard from now on!"

Guo Hao said sincerely to the Teacher Wang in front of him.

Hearing Guo Hao speak, the students in the classroom all looked at him, their eyes revealing surprise.

Teacher Wang was slightly stunned. In the past, when he criticized students like this, even the most arrogant students in the class would obediently wait for him to finish scolding them, then silently return to their seats.

Let alone a student like Guo Hao, who was usually taciturn.

To suddenly dare to answer him like this now...

"Fine, fine, fine. I'd like to see if you actually study hard in the future! Go back down!"

Since Guo Hao had said so, Teacher Wang couldn't really say anything more and let Guo Hao go down.

Guo Hao returned to his seat.

Just as he sat down, his deskmate poked him with a pen.

Guo Hao turned his head to look.

"You are so brave!"

The female deskmate whispered to Guo Hao.

Guo Hao smiled, not taking it to heart.

Teacher Wang Xiujuan was indeed a bit fierce, and most of the students in the class were afraid of her, but in fact, she was a very conscientious teacher. Many students only experienced her fierceness because of their poor attitude; as long as they corrected their attitude, these teachers wouldn't really pursue anything.

Recalling some past events, Guo Hao felt a little emotional.

Sitting in his seat, Guo Hao picked up the math book next to him.

His grades in his previous life were not good; he barely made it into a vocational college, and after struggling in society for over a decade, he had long since forgotten most of his high school knowledge.

Since he had been reborn, he naturally couldn't let his academic qualifications look too bad.

It's just a pity that he was reborn a bit too late; it would have been better if he could have been reborn during his second year of high school.

However, there was no choice.

Guo Hao opened the math book; it was for the first year of high school, Chapter 1, Sets.

This chapter was actually simple to understand.

Soon, Guo Hao finished flipping through the first chapter and did all the blank questions at the back.

Just as Guo Hao finished the questions after the Sets chapter.

"Gained Math Experience +5."

Seeing the panel, Guo Hao's expression changed slightly. He instinctively looked around, but the people next to him didn't seem to see this panel.

This is... a system??

Although being reborn was already an exaggerated and fantasy-like event, he didn't expect that he would also be brought a system upon his rebirth.

However, since his rebirth was already shocking enough, Guo Hao quickly accepted this setting.

His heart stirred slightly.

Lines of numbers began to appear on the light blue screen before his eyes.
