"In today's world, where resources are insufficient to meet the needs of all humanity, only the elite will be able to survive! This will ensure better development for humanity!"
"Starting today, the quality of life for every family, except for the elite class, will be linked to their children's academic performance. It is imperative to cultivate more talents for the future of humanity!"
"Students who rank in the bottom third of the annual year-end exams will be uniformly eliminated, and their parents will be relocated to slums until they can raise more outstanding children."
...
"Yes, yes, I want you to do this." In an underground hospital, a middle-aged woman clutched the sleeve of the doctor in front of her.
The doctor, who had practiced in the underground world for many years, frowned. Even for him, it was the first time he had heard a parent request such a procedure for their child.
He didn't even know if the child's condition after the surgery would be better than being directly eliminated.
Of course, the woman in front of him had not considered these things; she was only concerned about not being relocated to the slums.
The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter on the operating table, her eyes devoid of any pain or guilt.
"Yueyue, listen to your mother. After this surgery, your grades will definitely improve."
Lin Yue looked deeply at her mother, fully aware of why she had been brought here.
Her grades had never been very good in class, even though she studied hard, even to the point of exhaustion.
Studying until two or three in the morning, she still only managed to rank in the middle of her class.
She was not a smart child, never had been, so her mother came up with a solution.
To sever the emotional center in her brain, eliminating excess emotions that could interfere with her studies and prevent her from resisting her parents, making her more obedient and diligent in her learning.
To damage the sleep neurons in her brain, so she would no longer feel tired, only needing the shortest rest time to ensure her body wouldn't collapse, greatly increasing her study time.
Looking at Lin Yue on the operating table, the middle-aged woman felt she was seeing the future, the glorious future of herself and her husband.
The world of the elite was beckoning to them; they could move out of their current apartment and into a better environment, a villa.
They would have a garden, and even a swimming pool!
Tired, Lin Yue closed her eyes and no longer looked at her mother. She gave birth to her, raised her... If she wants to do this, then let her be; consider it as repaying her.
She was also very tired and thought that without emotions, she might feel a little better? Lin Yue comforted herself with these chaotic thoughts.
The surgery began, and Lin Yue's consciousness gradually fell into darkness, a silent, wordless lament was being played.
When everything was over, Lin Yue opened her eyes again, numbness occupying her pupils.
"Successful! Successful!" The middle-aged woman joyfully touched her cheek, her face filled with ecstatic delight.
"Yueyue, do you still know who I am?" Now she wanted to confirm, to ensure that her child still had recognition and could still learn.
"I know," Lin Yue replied in a flat tone, expressionless as she looked at the middle-aged woman touching her cheek, "You are my mother."
"Yes, yes, yes." The middle-aged woman nodded frantically, reaching into her bag to take out a textbook and handing it to Lin Yue, not caring that her head was still wrapped in bandages.
"Come, let's take a look at the book?"
Lin Yue reached out to take the textbook, opened it, and quickly flipped through the pages. Without the influence of emotions, her reading speed had increased several times compared to before.
Complete rationality had taken over her brain, and her understanding of the knowledge in the book was even faster.
In just one hour, Lin Yue went from starting to read the entire textbook to fully understanding and mastering it. Even with her previous memories of the textbook as a foundation, this speed was still astonishing.
"Genius, my daughter has finally become a genius!" The middle-aged woman exclaimed joyfully as she hugged Lin Yue, while the doctor beside her looked at her with cold indifference and disdain.
"Alright, ma'am, you can make the payment now and take your daughter home."
The middle-aged woman released Lin Yue, paid with the bracelet on her wrist, and pulled Lin Yue out of the underground hospital.
Back home, looking at her daughter with a vacant expression, her husband also looked at his wife with excitement.
"Did it work?!"
"It worked!" The middle-aged woman nodded vigorously, patting Lin Yue on the back.
"Our daughter is now a true genius; she mastered an entire math book in just one hour!"
"Great, great, great..." The man paced back and forth excitedly, "Our good days are finally coming!"
The following days unfolded just as they had envisioned; Lin Yue's grades continuously improved, and their family moved from an apartment to a villa.
Then they moved from the villa to a larger villa. In the two years from Lin Yue's fourteenth to sixteenth birthday, they achieved a leap into the elite class.

Until the year Lin Yue turned sixteen, everything changed again.
"So, our child is a genius? A true genius?!" The man rubbed his wife's belly, looking at her with surprise.
"Of course, I went to the most authoritative private hospital, and the doctors have checked everything." The woman looked at her belly with immense affection, as if she could see the unborn baby inside.
"That's wonderful..." The man murmured, his eyes misty, as if he could see a more glorious future ahead.
They had reached the elite class, so could they... go even further!
Thinking of this made him unable to contain his excitement, but then he remembered that their daughter Lin Yue was already sixteen, and he couldn't help but look at his wife with concern.
"In two years, Yueyue will be taking the big exam. When the physical check-up happens, will they find out..."
Hearing her husband's words, the woman furrowed her brows, "It is indeed possible..."
"If they find out, we shouldn't be punished, right?" The man spoke with worry. As Lin Yue grew older, this concern weighed heavier on his mind, but he only told his wife today.
Just thinking about the possibility of facing punishment, even if it was uncertain whether there would actually be any punishment, made the woman feel suffocated at the thought of losing everything they had now, going back to an apartment, or even to a slum.
"No, we can't just wait to be punished!" The woman tightened her grip on her husband's hand.
The man lowered his head, hesitated for only a moment, then looked up at her.
"According to the regulations, families without children of appropriate age can maintain their social status and quality of life unchanged until the child is born and before they start school."
"Our child is a true genius, so as long as he is born and we don't have any other children, doesn't that mean..."
The woman widened her eyes at the man, "But... we have Yueyue, don't we?"
The man lowered his gaze, slowly rubbing his wife's belly, as if greeting the genius inside.
"Isn't the year-end exam coming up soon?"
Hearing the implication in her husband's words, the woman pressed her lips together. She didn't feel reluctant about Lin Yue; she was just contemplating whether this was worth it.
As long as Lin Yue makes a mistake in this year-end exam, they would become a family without children of appropriate age, and they could still maintain their current standard of living and social status.
Once the child in her belly is born, he could grow up in a better environment, and they could use this true genius to climb even higher.
And any potential risks associated with Lin Yue would simply disappear.
Understanding the stakes, the woman showed no hesitation and looked at her husband with deep affection, "Let's do as you say."
"Okay." The man nodded with a smile and gave the woman and the unborn child a kiss.
This year's year-end exam was unusual for Lin Yue; her failure had already been predetermined before the exam.
A bowl of porridge laced with enough drugs was enough to ensure she ranked at the bottom in the year-end exam.
With a vacant gaze, Lin Yue looked at the armed personnel coming to take her away, not struggling or resisting like the other students.
She didn't understand why she should resist; wasn't it a rule that those who didn't perform well would be eliminated? Rules need to be followed.
Even when lying on the operating table, Lin Yue still felt this way.
The nurse performing the elimination had been doing this job for many years, but she had never seen such a calm child.
Calm as if she didn't know what she was about to face.
Setting aside her thoughts, the drug was slowly pushed into Lin Yue's body, her consciousness gradually fading, her life slowly dissipating.
The tragic song of life began on an operating table and ended on an operating table.
After the elimination was complete, Lin Yue's body was placed in a black bag, carelessly tossed into the transport vehicle, waiting to be taken to the final cremation site.
The transport vehicle's door closed, and in the pitch-black darkness, Lin Yue's body in the black bag gradually emitted a golden light.
The golden light grew brighter and brighter, as if the black bag enveloping her body could not withstand this brilliance and began to dissolve.
In the next moment, Lin Yue's body suddenly vanished into the golden light, and the transport vehicle returned to silence.
No one would know that just moments ago, a student who had been eliminated quietly disappeared from this world.
Whooo...
The sound of the steam train's whistle woke the girl leaning against the window. She turned her head to look at the unfamiliar surroundings, but she did not question where she was, nor would she ever question it.
She was simply analyzing that she was on a train, a steam train.
Then, her vision blurred, and several lines of text appeared before her eyes.
"Lin Yue, welcome to a different world. This is a world full of magic and fantasy. Start your new life here, learn magic, experience life, and feel the things you never had before.
By the way, to help you get along smoothly here, I have granted you powerful magic, enough for you to live safely. Your age has also been adjusted to eleven years old. I hope you won't blame me for making you smaller. I wish you happiness here— from the consciousness of the HP world."
Looking at the text before her, Lin Yue's mood showed no signs of fluctuation. Magic, a power that changes things and reality through unscientific means; magic power, the foundation for realizing magic.
So, with this gift from the world consciousness, she could cast spells.
Additionally, a school—did that mean she was going to a magic school now? Since it was a magic school, she would have to study.
Study... Lin Yue's gaze turned to a large box beside her. She vaguely understood that this box was meant for her.
She reached out to open the box, and the first thing she took out was a small wooden stick. The moment she touched it, a burst of golden light erupted from the tip of the stick, and a warm sensation spread throughout her body.
"I don't know what this is," Lin Yue said mechanically, casually putting the small stick into the pocket of her clothes.
She took out a book, closed the suitcase, and began to flip through the book.
Quickly skimming and memorizing the book titled "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration," Lin Yue realized that this was knowledge she had never encountered before.
Her understanding slowed down. An hour passed, and Lin Yue had only read and understood a third of the book. Before she could continue turning the pages, the compartment door was knocked twice and then pulled open.
Lin Yue looked up at the door, where a brown-haired girl stood with a boy.
Calmly retracting her gaze, Lin Yue focused her attention back on the book.
Hermione stared wide-eyed as Lin Yue glanced at her and Neville, then silently lowered her head to read.
Tilting her head in confusion, Hermione was the first to speak, "Hey, hello, I'm Hermione Granger."
According to the rules of etiquette, when someone greets you, you should respond.
Lin Yue raised her head again, looking at the girl who introduced herself as Hermione Granger. "Hello, I'm Lin Yue."
Her wonderful voice, lacking emotional fluctuations, felt discordant, and Hermione even sensed a hint of fear.
"Oh... oh, we interrupted you reading, I'm sorry..."
"It's fine," Lin Yue shook her head.
Hermione swallowed hard, "So, Neville," she gestured to the boy beside her, "his toad is lost. Have you seen it?"
"Toad?" Lin Yue looked at Neville.
"Yes..." Neville nodded with a pale face. Lin Yue's flat tone and expressionless face made him a bit scared, as if he was facing not a person, but an extremely lifelike doll or something else.
"I haven't seen it," Lin Yue shook her head, still staring at them with a vacant gaze.
"Is there anything else?"
"N-no, that's all..." Hermione tried to calm herself down. "Sorry to bother you, goodbye."
After closing the compartment door, Hermione quickly left with Neville. It wasn't until they were far from Lin Yue's compartment that they let out a long sigh of relief.
Once the two left, Lin Yue returned her gaze to the book. She was going to a magic school to study, so she was still a student, and she couldn't waste any time on learning.
The train traveled from day to night and finally arrived at Hogwarts. When she bought food at noon, Lin Yue once again startled the vendor on the train with her emotionless tone and expression.
However, she did not intend to think more about it; she needed to focus all her thoughts on studying.
Moreover, she was used to the attitudes of Hermione, Neville, and the vendor. Her parents, classmates, and teachers all had similar attitudes. She didn't care, or rather, she couldn't care at all.
