216: Chapter 215 This Isn’t Scientific!
[Midnight] 216: Chapter 215 This Isn’t Scientific!
[Midnight] Li Chen turned in his Chinese exam after just twenty minutes.
The math exam was handed in even faster, taking only ten minutes.
Reasoning comprehensive has a larger number of questions, but even so, he only took half an hour.
For English, it was even more amazing.
The listening section had just finished playing, and he had already completed the entire paper.
Not to ntion how other candidates were impacted, even top student Ye Chuxue was struggling to cope.
After the exams ended, the students gathered in groups as usual to discuss the midterm exam.
Those who made careless mistakes lanted and regretted, while those who luckily guessed a multiple-choice question correctly celebrated quietly.
It was a mix of joy and sorrow for different people.
Gao Huan perford well this ti.
Although she kept saying she did not do well, her sense of pride was clearly evident.
Seeing Ye Chuxue lying listlessly on the desk, she automatically assud that Ye Chuxue must have botched up her exam.
Thinking that she had the chance to replace Ye Chuxue as the new top student of the grade, Gao Huan beca as excited as if in a climax, her cheeks flushing with joy.
“Li Chen, I think your grades will definitely improve this ti.
A genius in your own right, plus you get along so well with our Miss Ye, you could at least make it to the third from the bottom in our grade, couldn’t you?”
Gao Huan couldn’t help but burst into laughter as she spoke about it with delight.
Ye Chuxue’s brows furrowed, and she gave Gao Huan a sideways glance, saying angrily, “Shut up, or I swear I’ll hit you if you keep blabbering.”
After being beaten up by Ye Chuxue, Gao Huan felt a lingering fear and subconsciously took a couple of steps back.
“Hmph, like they say, ‘Birds of a feather flock together.’ We’ll see who’s strutting when the results co out.”
As the bell rang for class, Chen Weiwei, holding the report cards, gracefully walked into the classroom.
In an instant, the classroom that was as noisy as a marketplace fell silent.
All the students looked at the teacher holding the report cards with anxious and wide eyes.
Chen Weiwei glanced around the classroom, cleared her throat, and said, “For this midterm exam, our class overall did quite well!”
“Gao Huan, 638 points, ranked tenth in the grade!”
“Ye Chuxue, 666 points, ranked third in the grade!”
“Zhao Yi, 667 points, ranked second in the grade!”
Gao Huan was annoyed to hear that she was only tenth while her rival Ye Chuxue ranked third in the grade.
However, when she heard that her boyfriend Zhao Yi scored higher than Ye Chuxue, she couldn’t hide her joy, even happier than if she herself had ranked second.
At this mont, the students were all engaged in an intense discussion about who would be crowned the top of the grade.
“Who’s first, could it be Lin Xuanfei from the next class?”
“Lin Xuanfei?
Impossible.
My best friend is in the next class, and she said Lin Xuanfei didn’t even co to take the exam!”
“If it’s not Lin Xuanfei, then who could it be?
Could there be another dark horse that’s caused an upset?”
…
Chen Weiwei tapped the desk with a textbook and said, “Everybody quiet down.
The top of the grade is Li Chen, with a total score of 755!”
“No way, Li Chen is the top of the grade?”
“Gosh, isn’t the total score only 750?
How did he get 755 points, what’s up with that?”
“It must be a mistake, how could soone score 5 points over the full score?
That’s not scientific!”
“Teacher Chen, is there a mistake with Li Chen’s score?”
Chen Weiwei shook her head and said, “There’s no mistake, Li Chen’s essay was written in oracle bone script.
After discussion by the Chinese teaching and research group, we’ve decided to give him an additional 10 points.
His scores are: 160 in Chinese, 150 in Mathematics, 150 in English, and 295 in the sciences!”
“Wow, damn, full marks in Chinese, Mathematics, and English, with only 5 points deducted in the sciences, is this guy even human?”
“He’s got full marks in everything, mind you, he scored 160 in Chinese not just full marks?”
“To be able to write an essay in oracle bone script, he’s practically divine.
Next ti before taking an exam, I’m going to stop worshipping Detective Conan and hang up a portrait of Li Chen instead.
Not only will I rank first in my grade, but I’ll also get the school beauty, the ultimate winner in life!”
When Li Chen heard his score was 755 points, his expression also showed a touch of surprise.
He had estimated his own score to be around 740, not expecting the Chinese teaching and research group to be generous enough to give not only full marks but also an extra 10 points.
It seems that Mr.
Wang really did a solid!
Ye Chuxue tilted her little head and asked Li Chen, “Hey, how co I never noticed you were this amazing?”
Li Chen exaggeratedly said, “Is this even considered amazing?
It’s just 755 points, only 5 points over a perfect score!”
“Just 5 points over a perfect score, and you say ‘only’?
Why don’t you just drop dead?”
Ye Chuxue, seeing Li Chen being so full of himself, gritted her teeth in hate.
With a naughty smile on his face, Li Chen said, “To die under a pogranate skirt, even as a ghost I’d still be charming.
Hey Xue’er, do you still rember what you promised ?”
“Go to hell!”
Ye Chuxue’s pretty face blushed as she turned her head back around, ignoring Li Chen.
Watching Li Chen and Miss Ye bicker and flirt, both the boys and girls were filled with a mix of envy, jealousy, and hate.
They had agreed to be underachievers together, yet you secretly beca the overachiever and won over the school beauty!
Those students with diocre grades watched in discontent as underachieving Li Chen unexpectedly ranked first in the grade.
If the top ranking had gone to Ye Chuxue, Zhao Yi, Gao Huan, or any of those other top students, they definitely wouldn’t feel as sour.
But seeing a student who usually had worse grades than them suddenly make a huge coback and leave them in the dust was a lot to handle.
Such a big disparity is hard for anyone to accept at first.
It’s like the beggars on the streets who never envied the bosses driving rcedes and BMWs, but did feel jealous of fellow beggars who managed to collect more money.
This is the dark side of human nature!
Those students who were academic aces felt even more like life had lost its aning.
They give their all, and yet it’s still not as much as soone else who seemingly doesn’t try.
Such a crushing defeat in terms of intelligence made those who always took pride in their cleverness unable to settle.
The most unwilling to accept this was naturally Gao Huan.
“Teacher Chen, Li Chen’s scores are too fake, I suspect he cheated to score this high!”
“Yeah, that has to be cheating; full marks in Chinese, Math, and English is just way too exaggerated.
Anyone with eyes can see it’s a fraud.”
Those fanatical fans who saw Li Chen as an idol in life were not to be outdone, retorting sarcastically.
“BS, even if we gave you the answers, could you get 755 points?”
“Exactly, do you even understand oracle bone script?
What are you babbling about here?”
For a while, both sides engaged in a war of words.
If they hadn’t been in the classroom, it might have even escalated to a full-on brawl.
But as they argued, Gao Huan’s voice grew quieter, and her confidence seed to wane.
Subconsciously, she glanced at Zhao Yi.
Only to see Zhao Yi slump into his seat, face ashen, teeth clenched, the muscles around his mouth twitching, a look of agonizing pain covering his face.
“Why is it like this?
Why is it this way?”
After a neurotic mutter, he seed to lose his mind and dashed out of the classroom.
