Hardcore Answer

Facing Lin Yishan's question, Xu Mang didn't have a clue what he was talking about. Another influential ideology? And it should be considered from an economical point of view…

"I…what's that?" Xu Mang squeaked out.

"I just knew you wouldn't understand…" Lin Yishan said darkly. "Looking out the window all day in class, what is there outside? Is there money or pretty girls?"

Once he said that, the whole class burst into laughter, and the sound was piercing to Xu Mang's ears.

In many cases, Xu Mang was the butt joke of the class. As long as his name was called by any of the teachers, there would be laughter that followed. This was also the only source of entertainment in the process of dry, boring lessons.

The vast majority of students believed that Xu Mang was useless, but they also couldn't imagine not having him in their daily lives. Without Xu Mang in class, it seemed as though they were missing something. Of course...without him, the others wouldn't be able to show off their own excellence.

"Haha!'

"Mr. Lin, punish him by asking him to copy the textbook!"

"Yeah, yeah, copy it a hundred times!"

Suddenly, Xu Mang had become their toy and entertainment, and they were all with a single mindset, which was to make things more difficult for him.

Xu Mang could clearly see all of this in their eyes.

Sigh…

Was it that the better a person was, the more likely it was that they would break away from the masses?

Talk about great timing!

'System, my friend...how many points would it take to answer the previous question perfectly?'

[The System has detected, the perfect answer will require: 50 points (Political Skill)]

Pay!

Time for some harda*s payback!

"Teacher!"

"Another one of the most influential ideologies which would be represented by us, is 'Reforms Will Never End'!" Xu Mang stood up as he spoke, his expression blank. "Which is also 'There Are Only Continuous Reforms, Never An End To It'."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The entire class had descended into silence.

He had answered correctly!

He had actually answered the question correctly!

Was this really Xu Mang, who didn't ask questions and didn't know sh*t?

Lin Yishan was frozen on the spot for at least 5 seconds, and finally, he regained his composure and nodded slowly, saying, "Very good...it seems that...you are still listening in class. Good...good…"

'What do you mean he listens in class?!'

'Teacher, are you blind?!'

 A lot of students were thinking that same thought in their hearts.

"Sorry, Mr. Lin." Xu Mang continued in a light tone. "I actually have more to say about this, since I have the chance now, would you mind if I take the time to further elaborate on it?"

The entire class went up in an uproar.

Was this for real?

This was some crazy dream and they were asleep, right?

"Of course!" Lin Yishan nodded his head, feeling slightly conscious as he stood his ground, waiting to hear Xu Mang's explanation. Lin Yishan had always felt that Xu Mang had great potential, so perhaps this class was an opportunity to tap into that potential.

"I personally find the conclusion to The End Of History to be stupid. After every great struggle experienced by humanity, this naive conclusion will always be put forward." Xu Mang laughed. "Will history end?"

"Humanity requires a deeper understanding which would most likely take forever to explore, and in terms of humanity's Economic Organization, it will never reach an ideal state. Even if you want to remain in a certain state, history will not allow it to happen." Xu Mang said. "That's why we put forward another ideology, which is There Are Only Continuous Reforms'."

"What was in the content of this statement?"

"It basically stated that reality would always oppose the mentioned ideologies, and that status quo will always need to be continuously improved or changed." Xu Mang replied. "The Westerners said that history has ended, haha...that's just ridiculous."

"Recently, we have put forward scientific socialism." Xu Mang continued. "The reason we are developing scientific socialism is because we have never imagined a limit to the development of science. It also falls in line with the ideology that 'There Are Only Continuous Reforms'."

"Personally, I think...'There Are Only Continuous Reforms' proclaims that not only that history has not ended, but we humans still have so much that we need to explore and understand, and also continue to rebuild and discover an Economic Organization suitable for the development of all of mankind."

"I'm finished with my explanation."

Xu Mang then sat back down on his chair.

 [Answering For The First Time—Complete]

[Obtained: Upgrade Card*1]

At this point in time, everyone in the class was in a state of shock. Xu Mang's answers were so hardcore and full of knowledge. He had made a comparison to the Westerner's opposing ideologies against China's and had even made a logical argument between them. 

He also pointed out the contrast between the two ideologies, summarized, and thoroughly understood the problems both were considering, experiencing, and facing under their respective development model.

This...had this really been explained by Xu Mang?

Now, all the students were doubting themselves. This political class seemed to have been wasted. After listening to so much content and taking down so many notes, in the end, they were not as good as someone who had just slept through the entire thing.

Lin Yishan was also slightly confused. The content that had just been explained by this Xu Mang that slept all day, some of it were even theories that had not been touched and studied by himself. However...This theory, this conclusion, he could tell that it was all accurate!

Staring at Xu Mang with wide eyes and an awkward expression on his face, Lin Yishan suddenly had a feeling that Xu Mang might very well become a genius! …well, at least in terms of political science.

"Not...not a bad answer!" Lin Yishan coughed to cover up the awkwardness, turning toward the other students. "You should all learn from Xu Mang's example, seeing as everyone's results...forget it, let's continue with class."

Thinking of Xu Mang's disastrous test results, he dispelled the intention of using Xu Mang as an example and instead, continued on with class.

At this time, Xu Mang was silently still feeling incredible.

Awesome!

That was freaking awesome!

Although the price was painful and the nap that he took in his class teacher's class had ended in vain, the gains from it were huge. Xu Mang believed that after this battle, he had thoroughly planted the seed in the hearts of others that he wasn't someone easy to mess with now.

"Hey!"

"You idiot!"

Xu Mang was petty and you should never let him seize any opportunity, otherwise, he would take any chance to sh*t on your head. Now, Xu Mang was doing exactly that to Sun Xiaoxiao, and seeing that Sun Xiaoxiao had always picked on him, Xu Mang was in high spirits.

"You!"

Sun Xiaoxiao, who was mocked by Xu Mang, wanted to retaliate. However, he felt the threatening pressure from their teacher and he didn't dare to do anything, silently enduring the verbal abuse from Xu Mang.

After class ,Xu Mang had initially thought that he would be accepted among his classmates, but he found himself even more isolated from them.

Later, Xu Mang figured it out. When others tried to impose their beliefs on you, you had no choice but to accept. If you tried to resist or throw away their designs on you, then sorry, you are the one at fault in their eyes. You should be the way they thought you were in their eyes!

Would you be willing to accept this?

Xu Mang was not, and he wanted to slap these people awake to make them thoroughly realize this.

Of course, this required a process, a slow, building process. Just like boiling frogs in water—not letting the others know and suddenly, they would find...Xu Mang...who used to be cancer, would suddenly stand up and take a sh*t on them.

Genius!

He really was such a genius!
