Chapter 226 A Small Test

Li Yan didn't expect to have to review for so long.

Chen Fan actually didn't expect this.

They both originally planned to review for a few days to get used to the question types and get a feel for their teammates' foundation.

No matter what, they are both first-year junior high school students, and the most important thing about participating in this competition is to "prove their abilities."

The national awards for Category C competitions are just so-so and cannot be compared with Category A competitions.

For them, the preferential treatment in admissions from New Taipei Middle School is not worth mentioning at all. Why would they need an additional Class C national award in the Informatics Olympiad as a bargaining chip?
But Director Kim said at the time, "Strictly speaking, only high school students are allowed to participate in Class A competitions. That's the rule."

The two of them started to curl up with Li Yan.

Chen Fan’s ideas are very brilliant, and every time he reviews the questions, he will give Li Yan some inspiration. This is equivalent to someone helping him to "accumulate experience" and summarizing the essence for him in easy-to-understand words.

This is the best teacher, right?
The sound of "ding" and plus one's programming skills are proof of this.

Even without the improvement in data, Li Yan could feel the pleasure of having his thinking broadened, which would greatly benefit the improvement of his cognition. Everything in the system was currently based on his cognition, which would benefit the present and future generations!
So he studied very hard.

Seeing that someone who solved problems faster than him was studying so seriously, how could Chen Fan not be serious?
Chen Fan, as a teacher, spares no effort in teaching, so how can Li Yan, as a student, not work hard?
It's not over.

During the day, Li Yan tried her best to save the drafts of her novel in the dormitory - she would have no time to write because she was participating in the competition on May Day; in the evening, as soon as Chen Fan came back, the two of them started frantically practicing programming.

The other four friends in 403 looked at the two of them with mixed feelings.

My dear brothers, the midterm exams are on April 4th and 27th, do you remember?

But there is nothing much to say. Chen Fan still has the record of a perfect score in mathematics, and as for the other grades... he just says that he cares about them; Li Yan's words, just like the beginning of this paragraph, there is nothing much to say.

Finally, Chen Fan couldn't hold it in any longer and stubbornly rejected Li Yan's invitation to help him solve the problems on the weekend before the midterm exam.

The so-called twistedness means that you say no, but your mind is unable to concentrate on reading other books and your mind is full of solving problems.

Li Yan expressed his understanding and solemnly stated that the midterm exam was also of great significance to him because it was related to whether he could continue to retain the freedom he had today.

In the end, he didn't even open the book to take a look.

Finally on April 4, Li Yan appeared in the examination room and received the attention of all the students.

Coincidentally, there was not a single student in Class Zero. They had only heard that Li Yan could skip classes, but had never personally experienced what it felt like to have a free person in the class.

So these salutations mainly come from worship.

Of course, there were some discordant moments, for example, a deputy monitor of the experimental class had fire in his eyes from the moment he saw Li Yan. His grades had improved rapidly recently and he had already made it into the top 50 in the grade.

And he happened to be sitting in the front seat in the same row as Li Yan.

While waiting outside the door to enter the examination room, the deputy monitor of a certain experimental class walked up to Li Yan and said in a very serious tone, "Li Yan, I heard that you don't even go to class now? This will make you regress. This time..."

Li Yan's expression of trying not to laugh stopped the guy from finishing his words.

Where did this NPC come from to give me a slap in the face and show off?
That's too blunt, brother. You don't even have a name in the novel. It's not satisfying enough to get slapped in the face.

Perhaps feeling that his self-esteem was insulted, the deputy monitor's expression became unnatural, and he walked into the examination room with his hair brushed awkwardly.

After finishing the Chinese language test, Li Yan handed in the paper calmly. She thought this guy would give her some unfriendly looks, but what she saw was a shocked face.

This is normal. Anyone who sees him writing two essays neatly on a piece of draft paper would have the same expression.

In the subsequent exams, the deputy monitor saw various kinds of magical draft papers:
I wrote five different English essays, I came up with two different solutions to the math finale, I copied a world map with climate marked directly, I wrote the historical dynasties and emperors in full by year, I restored the physics and chemistry experiment process in 3D...

It's just crazy.

Of course, all of these came from Li Yan. He has already passed the stage of pretending to be the fastest answerer by using a clap pen.

The students in the front row were all shocked. Just based on the workload on each draft paper, they might have to use an entire exam time to finish it - and that was with the information at hand.

What kind of spare energy is this?
When the exam was over, the deputy monitor lowered his head and quickened his pace when he passed by Li Yan. In fact, it was unnecessary because after the exam, Li Yan had forgotten who he was.

No, I never remembered it.

The midterm exam was over, and when the roommates waiting downstairs in the teaching building saw Li Yan’s expression, they knew that the suspense of first place in the midterm exam should be over.

Li Yan didn't even smile, not even the slightest bit of tiredness, relaxation, confusion, anxiety... none of that.

It was just very calm, and it looked like there was no difference from just a day of class.

This made other people not want to talk about the midterm exam anymore.

"Li Yan," Chen Fan was the first to speak, "How did you feel about the math in this midterm exam?"

"It's OK, not as difficult as the previous exams."

"Not at all?" Liang Tiancheng continued.

"No." Li Yan shook her head. "It feels like the question suddenly became very normal."

"Is there a possibility that you have become awesome again?" Lin Heng asked.

"Oh, is that so? That's good." Li Yan smiled.

"Hey, Li Yan and Chen Fan, are you confident that you can get full marks in math this time?" Li Ruofei asked.

Unexpectedly, Liang Tiancheng actually smiled and replied: "I think it can be full marks, let alone them."

"No, Liang Ban, you don't think this is a kind of self-mockery, do you..." Lin Heng's face was dark, "Pretend to be theirs, so that they have nothing to pretend?"

"Alas!" Zhu Qinglun sighed fiercely, "Boss Yan, you're not going to make another 759, are you?"

Li Yan suddenly stopped and said, "This is really a troublesome thing."

Everyone was a little slow to react.

"I've been thinking about whether to control my score this time. Last time, I missed one point in each subject. This time, I missed two points in each subject. Wouldn't that be more frightening than getting 759 again?"

……

"Okay, stop hitting me in the face." Li Yan covered her face.

His roommates pretended to beat him up and then returned to the dormitory laughing all the way.

Of course, the topic of 403 will not always stay on Li Yan. Although the midterm exam is of no significance to him, the other five people can still have a good discussion on difficult questions and estimated scores.

As soon as they started chatting, they couldn't help but ask Li Yan again. Liang Tiancheng, as a representative, asked, "How much do you estimate you can score this time?"

"I would like to seriously seek your opinions. Is it better to control the score again or to get a full score to show your strength?"

……

"No, I really need to choose the most explosive way to prove my strength to the teachers. Ask questions sincerely, not pretend."

Seeing the changes in his roommates' eyes, Li Yan coughed and said in the most humble tone:
"Well, I finally chose 759. As for whether I can get 760, it depends on whether Mr. Guo is willing to satisfy me."

Lin Heng decisively took Liang Tiancheng's shoulder and said, "Look into my eyes and promise me, Liang Ban, don't give him another chance to show off!"

While the others were still in a relaxed mood after taking the exam, Chen Fan had already turned on his computer and was ready to practice questions with Li Yan.

"You can focus on your work now, Li Yan." Chen Fan took a deep breath.

Li Yan cast an innocent look at the other four roommates:
He was the one who started it all, don't blame me.
