I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 7

Lei Jiaming focused all his attention on the last question.
A basketball moves up and down in a vertical direction within a height h1 = 0.9m, as shown in the diagram. The athlete starts to hit the basketball at the highest point, and the ball rebounds after hitting the ground…
Given that the mass of the basketball is m = 0.5kg, the radius R…
…
Finally, you need to find the speed at which the ball rebounds, the force exerted by the ground on the ball and the work done by the hand on the ball during each dribble.
Fang Qimai answered all three of these questions, but what is this last part?
[Conclusion: When playing basketball, the hand does work on the ball, but it doesn’t work on a fart, so it’s really useless for flatulence. However, playing basketball is very beneficial to a person’s physical health. If you don’t play for a long time, it’s easy to… go bald.]
Lei Jiaming:…
Lei Jiaming instinctively touched his bald head.
“Confusion Value of Lei Jiaming, +12.”
He realised that Fang Qimai was contradicting his earlier remark that “playing basketball is useless”.
He was also mocking him for taking their sports class?
“This Fang Qimai…”
“No, it seems I still have to call his parents!”
…
…
The school bell rang.
After Lei Jiaming collected the papers, everyone started discussing the questions, but more people were discussing Fang Qimai.
[Ding! You have been called by your classmate Zheng Ruijie, reward: Reverse Recitation of the High School Periodic Table of the Elements skill!]
[Ding! You have been summoned by English class president Cai Shali, reward: Skill: “English Essay Writing Techniques”]
[Beep…
…
In no time, Fang Qimai was receiving all kinds of rewards.
The class representative, Li Hongzhe, also wanted to ask what was going on, but he had other things to attend to at the moment.
He was deeply worried about the difficult maths problem their maths teacher Xue Baogai had given them that morning.
If he couldn’t solve it, not only would he lose face, but his position as the maths representative would be shaken.
More importantly, Xiao Bixue, the school’s beauty queen, had agreed to let Fang Qimai explain the second solution to the problem after the evening’s private study, just to find out the solution.
This was something Li Hongzhe could not tolerate.
So he racked his brains, determined to find the second solution to this problem so that he could explain it to Xiao Bixue.
…
At this moment, Fang Qimai was still sleeping when someone suddenly poked him on the shoulder with a pen.
He looked up to see the biology class president, Ruan Meng.
“Um… Fang, Fang Qimai…”
[Ding! You have been summoned by Biology Class Representative Ruan Meng, reward: Master of Health Knowledge skill!] “Is something wrong?”
“Um…”
Living up to her name, Ruan Meng was an adorably soft and cute girl.
She was very shy and did not dare to look directly at Fang Qimai’s face.
Clutching a pile of test papers tightly, she looked extremely nervous.
“The biology exercise papers have all been collected, and you’re the only one left… Teacher Luo said. I should collect them for her before class… The next class is yours…”
Another reminder about homework…
Fang Qimai shrugged, “I didn’t do it.”
“Ah… you didn’t do it again… Teacher Luo will scold you…”
“It’s okay, I can just hand it in when I’m in a good mood.”
“Um… so when will you be in a good mood?”
Fang Qimai thought for a moment, “Depends on my mood.”
Ruan Meng:…
“Confusion Value of Ruan Meng, +1”
“Well, just be careful then…”
Fang Qimai:…
…
Ruan Meng lowered her head as she turned to leave when a boy suddenly rushed past her.
He bumped into Ruan Meng, and luckily, she only stumbled without falling.
However, the exercise papers in her hands were scattered all over the floor.
It turned out to be Jiang Zejian, who immediately cursed, “Damn it! Ruan Meng, what’s wrong with you?” “How dare you bump into me?”
“Ah… um… I didn’t mean to…”
“You didn’t mean to? Hurry up and apologise!”
“But…”
Ruan Meng wanted to say that it was Jiang Zejian who bumped into her, but she didn’t dare to say it.
At that moment, Xiao Bixue came over and started picking up the scattered exercise papers for Ruan Meng.
Jiang Zejian quickly held up a drawing he had in his hand and handed it to Xiao Bixue.
“I’ve copied the Mona Lisa, I’ve copied Madame Cossack, and I’ve copied the Marquise de Pompadour, but I can’t capture your fairy-tale beauty. Your beauty has stunned…”
Jiang Zejian lost his train of thought and quickly looked at his crib sheet. “Your beauty has stunned the youth, dazzled the whole flourishing era, and deeply shaken my soul! I dedicate this drawing to our school belle~ Xiao Beauty~”
Jiang Zejian was also an idler.
Through various connections, he eventually became a chosen student.
In his first year of high school, he was carefree, often bullying male classmates and teasing female classmates.
He was no different from a delinquent.
Later, for some unknown reason, he decided to learn to paint.
Once he thought he had mastered it, he liked to show off his drawing skills in class.
For example, he would draw during class, looking deep into his eyes and trying to enhance his picture.
The teachers didn’t pay much attention, as long as Jiang Zejian met the academic requirements, he would be able to get into a good art school.
Xiao Bixue frowned, clearly disliking Jiang Zejian.
This had happened more than once or twice before.
Li Hongzhe, despite hearing Jiang Zejian’s words, continued to concentrate on his own work.
Even with his father’s respectable status, when Jiang Zejian openly pursued Xiao Bixue at school, Li Hongzhe didn’t dare say a word. Every time such a situation happened, Li Hongzhe pretended that he hadn’t heard anything. He really felt that he couldn’t afford to provoke someone like Jiang Zejian, a small-time punk.

“I don’t want your drawing, don’t bully Ruan Meng!” Xiao Bixue said as she pulled Ruan Meng’s hand.

“Hey~ I’m just bullying her~”

“Ruan Meng, let’s go!”

Jiang Zejian stepped forward, “Don’t go~”

“Get out of the way!”

Jiang Zejian spread his arms wide, “I’m not moving~ Hehe~”

“Immature!”

Jiang Zejian made a silly face, mimicking Xiao Bixue’s way of saying ‘immature’.

Then he turned his gaze to Ruan Meng.

“Hey, hey, what are you looking at? Didn’t you hear me just ask you to apologise? Do you want to die for bumping into me?”

“I…”

Ruan Meng held onto her exercise papers and looked hurt.

Nearby, Fang Qimai, who had been sleeping soundly, stretched out, feeling a bit annoyed by the noise.

Just as Ruan Meng was at a loss, a hand tapped on her shoulder.

“Fang, Fang Qimai?”

Fang Qimai said, “Shouldn’t you go find Teacher Luo? Go take care of this first!”

Jiang Zejian looked at Fang Qimai coldly, “Fang Qimai, are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m asking her to apologise?”

…

Fang Qimai cupped his ears, “I think the blind one here is actually you, right?”

“Are you saying I’m blind?”

“From Jiang Zejian, Confusion Value +8.”

Jiang Zejian accepted defeat at basketball at lunchtime. He never expected to face Fang Qimai in the classroom again.

He felt that his status as class leader had been shaken, and his prestige had been greatly diminished.

Fang Qimai said, “I’m trying to sleep here, and you’re making a racket next to me, whining endlessly. Aren’t you the blind one?”

“I…”

“Damn… you…”

“From Jiang Zejian, Confusion Value +8.”

Jiang Zejian looked at Fang Qimai in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words.

This boy, Fang Qimai… seemed to have become a different person. “Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?”
Fang Qimai replied, “Well, that’s not it. In fact, I didn’t want to talk to you at all.”
Jiang Zejian: …
“You damn…”
“From Jiang Zejian, Confusion Value +9.”
…
The argument between the two immediately attracted the attention of the entire class.
“Wow, looks like there’s a good show to watch now.”
