Before Wang Zikai and the other two could recover from their shock after Lin Feng announced his scores, class monitor Li Zhi showed up. As soon as he appeared, he expressed disbelief in Lin Feng’s words, mocking him for boasting.
At the sound of Li Zhi’s voice, Lin Feng’s face darkened. Was this guy here to annoy him again?
"Li Zhi, don’t you dare appear in front of again, or I’ll beat you!" Lin Feng stared at Li Zhi, threatening him bluntly.
"Am I bothering you?" Li Zhi didn’t care about Lin Feng’s threat. Instead, he asked with a smug smile, "Are you embarrassed because I called you out on your lie? Hmph, all you know is how to boast... Scoring 621 in the college entrance exam? If you had such a score, why didn’t you go to Zhendan University or Jiaotong University? Why co to Jiangzhou University? Ridiculous..."
Lin Feng looked at Li Zhi in surprise and asked, "Who said that with a score of 621, I can’t go to Jiangzhou University? Do you think Jiangzhou University is that terrible?"
"Of course..." Li Zhi nodded instinctively. After the word slipped out, he imdiately realized where he was. He hastily corrected himself, "I didn’t an to say that Jiangzhou University is terrible. It’s just not as good as Zhendan University or Jiaotong University..."
"Hmph... As a student of Jiangzhou University, you think it’s terrible. You’re really sothing!" Lin Feng said, ignoring Li Zhi’s clarification, clearly displeased.
Li Zhi originally thought Lin Feng was just talking nonsense. But when he looked up, he found all the students around glaring at him angrily. Only then did he realize he had misspoken and given Lin Feng sothing to use against him.
"I... I really didn’t an that..." Li Zhi forced out a strained explanation, not wanting to be branded a villain by everyone.
"I can tell from your accent that you’re not from Jiangzhou, right!" Lin Feng glanced at Li Zhi and asked, "I wonder what you scored in the college entrance exam. How dare you look down on the local students?"
"I did not look down on the local students..." Li Zhi was sweating profusely. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be so adept at framing him; he was struggling to respond. "Stop talking nonsense, Lin Feng! I’m practically half a Jiangzhou resident. My dad may be from Su City, but my mom is from Jiangzhou! My college entrance exam score was 388..."
"Damn... 388 and you dare to be so arrogant? Did I hear that right?!" Upon hearing Li Zhi’s score, Wang Zikai, who had the lowest score of their group, jumped up and laughed exaggeratedly.
At that mont, students resting after class saw Li Zhi and Lin Feng confronting each other again and quickly gathered around.
Su Zi and Ning Aoxue, who were sitting in the front row, looked a bit uncomfortable when they saw the crowd gathering around Lin Feng.
Hmph, is he causing trouble again! Ning Aoxue felt that as soon as Lin Feng beca the center of attention, soone was bound to be unlucky very soon...
"Looks like there’s so excitent to watch. Miss Ning, shall we go and take a look?" Su Zi’s curiosity was aroused, and she began to coax Ning Aoxue to go and watch the excitent.
"I need to review my textbooks for the exam... If you want to go, you go..." Ning Aoxue pouted and shook her head.
"Then I’ll go take a look first, and I’ll report back to you later..." Su Zi didn’t mind and cheerfully headed over.
As Su Zi got closer to Lin Feng, she faintly heard Li Zhi announce his college entrance exam score was only 388. The mont he finished speaking, the surrounding students burst into laughter.
"Even though the college entrance exam score doesn’t affect his role as class monitor, Li Zhi’s score is a bit too pitiful!"
"To get into Jiangzhou University with a score like that... I wonder what connections he used. Li Zhi’s family must be quite influential..."
"Well, I admit my college entrance exam score was two hundred points higher than the class monitor’s..."
The crowd murmured with similar comnts.
Lin Feng didn’t laugh. Li Zhi had been very arrogant when announcing his score, without the slightest hint of humility. There must be more to that score, Lin Feng thought.
As expected, Li Zhi disdainfully said to Wang Zikai, "You’re ignorant. After Jiangnan Province’s education reform, the total score for the college entrance exam is only 480. Do you think scoring 388 is easy? Converted to the standard 750-point system, my score is over 600!"
"Uh... Is that really true?" Wang Zikai asked nervously, scratching his head in embarrassnt.
"Yes, the total score for the college entrance exam in Jiangnan Province is set up unusually," Yang Ming, who clearly knew about this, nodded and explained. "The subject scores are: Chinese 160 points, Math 160 points, and Foreign Language 120 points, totaling 440 points. Science and Arts stream students have an additional 40-point section, making their total 480. However, Sports and Arts stream students don’t have this additional section, so their total is 440." He couldn’t help but look at Li Zhi with so admiration.
At that, the observing students fell silent, not daring to say anything more.
Because this was the first education reform in Jiangnan Province, the exam was very difficult. A score over four hundred ant you were at the level of a provincial or city top scholar. For Li Zhi to score 388 points was already quite remarkable!
"Hehe... Young man, you’re quite good!" Wang Zikai said to Li Zhi with a hearty, unfazed laugh. "Keep up the good work!"
Li Zhi was a little speechless at Wang Zikai’s shalessness, but his main focus was on Lin Feng. So, he ignored Wang Zikai and said indifferently to Lin Feng, "No matter how you try to change the subject, I must remind you: you just claid to have scored 621 in the college entrance exam. Please provide evidence!"
"Hmph... What I said is none of your damn business. Why should I care about you? Are you nuts?" Lin Feng didn’t bother to respond to Li Zhi’s demand, treating him like an idiot. You’re nobody to , why should I have to prove anything to you?
Lin Feng’s college entrance exam score is 621... How is that possible? Su Zi, standing at the edge of the crowd, was quite shocked when she heard this.
Su Zi and Ning Aoxue had never asked Lin Feng about his college entrance exam score. They never expected his score to be so incredibly high—nearly a hundred points more than either of theirs!
Lin Feng... Back in Jiangzhou No. 1 High School, he couldn’t even get into the advanced class. How could he possibly score that high?
"Hmph, you’re scared now, aren’t you! How does it feel to have your bluff called and lose face like this?" Li Zhi was certain Lin Feng was just bragging and was now quite smug. "I’m waiting for you to present your evidence. Your official records, score slip, or even a recording—show just one, and I’ll believe you!"
Lin Feng would normally have ignored Li Zhi. But when Li Zhi ntioned "recording," Lin Feng suddenly rembered. When I checked my college entrance exam scores, I actually did save a recording as a nto...
With everyone watching, I can’t lose!
Lin Feng smirked at Li Zhi and asked coolly, "You dare question my integrity like this? If I can produce evidence, will you dare to kneel and apologize to ?"
Li Zhi laughed. "If your college entrance exam score is really 621, I’ll do more than kneel—I’ll kowtow and admit I was wrong! But if it isn’t 621, then what? Will you kneel and apologize to ?"
"Then listen to this first..." Lin Feng took out his phone, found a recording labeled ’College Entrance Exam Score,’ smiled faintly, and pressed play.
"Candidate: Lin Feng. Admission ticket number: XXXXX. Individual subject scores are as follows: Chinese 121, Math 133, English 142, Liberal Arts Comprehensive 225. Total score: 621."
