[Study Coin: 41.]
Seeing the system’s Study Coin notifications, Zhao Yi showed a satisfied smile but imdiately felt a bit of a headache.
Enter the Elite A class?
Very difficult!
If he only had the level of a newly-promoted senior, with the effect of the "Causality Law", entering the Elite A class would undoubtedly be a breeze. However, high school knowledge and problem-solving thods were mostly buried in his mory. To re-grasp them would take at least a month.
Basic knowledge is just one aspect, mory drilled from problem solving is also crucial.
For subjects like Mathematics and Physics, knowing formulas and theorems are just the basics. Solving problems requires a certain understanding of decomposition process, which necessitates a certain amount of problem-solving experience.
Biology and Chemistry have a lot of knowledge sequences, revisiting them requires a lot of morization, and also a certain amount of problem-solving experience. Chemistry is relatively harder, not only requiring to morize knowledge sequences but also needing a certain problem-solving ability.
Chinese is also not easy.
The multiple choice questions on the Chinese paper comprise of relatively few points. morizing ancient poetry, reading comprehension and even composition all require a degree of experience. Retrieving the Chinese language level from the high school years is not an easy task.
Of course, there is also a advantageous subject - English.
The "Causality Law" greatly benefits his English. Because of work requirents, his English level is definitely stronger than high school.
The only thing he does not need to worry about is English. But even with the improvent in English, it’s almost impossible to make up for the deficiencies in other subjects, let alone getting into the top fifty in the entire school.
"I can’t give up!"
"Losing to a little girl would be too embarrassing!"
Zhao Yi glanced at Lin Xiaoqing in front of him and decided to give it a go, even if his pride got hurt a bit. Compared to the goal of getting into Shuimu University, entering the Elite A class seed insignificant.
Work hard!
You need to summon the spirit of all-night study sessions from your college days!
Zhao Yi quickly drew up a short-term study plan: morize all the formulas and theorems of Mathematics and Physics, while flipping through Biology and Chemistry textbooks, and rember the important knowledge points.
[Use Study Coin to increase concentration!]
[Study Coin -1, supplentary promotion of concentration, duration: sixty minutes.]
Make good use of ti!
Zhao Yi started to study hard.
All day long, he imrsed himself in the ocean of knowledge, oblivious to the surrounding environnt. The [Concentration Mode] greatly increased his learning efficiency, quick cognition and mory, as if every minute has made progress, which greatly fascinated him.
The only drawback was that he was always disturbed by the desk in front during his studies.
"Let ask you another one, who is Venus in Greek mythology?" Lin Xiaoqing turned and asked loudly.
Zhao Yi didn’t even lift his head, and said weakly, "God of Love!"
"I haven’t said the options yet!"
"No need."
"Humph!"
The next break.
When Zhao Yi lowered his head to read, he was suddenly pushed and almost stumbled to the ground. He sat up a bit angry, and then heard a question, "The lyricist of the song ’Olive Tree’ is..."
"I don’t know!"
"You don’t know? I haven’t even ntioned the options yet! A..."
"Stop asking, I don’t know!" Zhao Yi took a deep breath and said seriously, "Lin Xiaoqing, Beautiful Lin, you won! My grades are not good, I need to work hard to get into the Elite class, can you be a bit quiet and stop bothering ? Also, I’m not interested in these things."
Lin Xiaoqing raised her mouth high, sounding sowhat weak, "Answer one last question..."
"What are you reading these for!"
Zhao Yi took the thick book and flipped through a couple of pages, asking sowhat puzzled, "Extra-curricular knowledge competition questions? Are you entering a competition?"
"The ’Youth Cup’ extra-curricular knowledge competition, don’t you know?"
"I think... I know?"
Zhao Yi thought carefully, but it seed like he had no mory of it.
This is normal.
During high school, he didn’t interact much with Lin Xiaoqing.
Lin Xiaoqing explained, "It is a competition organized by the province, and only senior students can participate. Each school needs to send three to five students, but anyone not making it to the finals is just attending an exam, so almost no one signs up."
"Did you sign up?"
"Teacher Sun asked , and I agreed. He Ronghua from the first class is also participating."
"He Ronghua? The top student in the grade."
Zhao Yi understood now.
The ones participating in the competition are all in the top few ranks of the grade. No wonder he, as a ’normal student’, did not even know about the competition.
But...
Is there any direct relationship between extra-curricular knowledge and academic performance?
Lin Xiaoqing suddenly asked, "Do you want to participate? I guess you could ask Teacher Sun to sign up, right?"
She was unsure.
Zhao Yi completely disregarded her, "What’s the use of participating in this? Even if you get the first prize, it doesn’t count towards the College Entrance Examination, isn’t it a waste of ti?" He glanced at Lin Xiaoqing, "In my opinion! Only fools and idiots would participate!"
"You are the fool! You are the idiot!"
Lin Xiaoqing grinding her teeth in anger, grumbling annoyed, "I kindly told you, you don’t want to participate, you don’t need to, and you insulted !"
"Hmph!"
She simply turned her head and didn’t speak anymore.
Zhao Yi continued to study hard.
Lin Xiaoqing was slightly depressed by Zhao Yi’s words. Of course, she knew that participating in the extra-curricular knowledge competition was completely useless, otherwise no one in the school would take the initiative to sign up.
The ’Youth Cup’ extra-curricular knowledge competition, entering the finals is indeed interesting, and there will be a provincially broadcasted live competition, but each school’s representatives have to participate in the preliminary competition first. Hundreds, or even thousands of high schools, compete in exams for four spots in the finals. It’s pretty much impossible for ordinary school representatives to make it into the finals.
So it really is just like attending an examination, and you don’t even know the examination results.
Lin Xiaoqing decided to participate for a simple reason - she wanted to do sothing different.
In addition to the normal school ti, she was signed up for two tutoring classes, one taking place during the vacation ti, and the other one is every evening.
From when she wakes up in the morning until she goes to bed at night, her ti is fully occupied.
As long as she participated in the extra-curricular knowledge competition, she could use the excuse of ’looking at the competition questions’ to deal with her teachers and her mother for nearly a week, and life would be relatively easier.
Lin Xiaoqing sighed.
It’s unimaginably hard to live as ’soone else’s child’ in the eyes of others.
Until school was over in the afternoon, Lin Xiaoqing never spoke another word to Zhao Yi.
The two had a falling out.
After the last class ended, Lin Xiaoqing went to submit her assignnt to Teacher Shen Yan. Suddenly, Teacher Sun took the opportunity to ask, "I heard from Teachers Wang and Niu that you’re also reading the competition book in class?"
"Xiaoqing, I know you’re competitive, but that competition is not important, and the questions in the competition are mostly new, without any reference."
"That book is just a reference. Even if you morize the entire book, it’s still hard to score high."
Teacher Sun said seriously.
"Oh~~"
Lin Xiaoqing pouted her lips and asked, "Teacher Sun, Zhao Yi asked about the competition. Can other people also sign up for it?"
"Of course, they can. But, Zhao Yi... his grades..."
Teacher Sun hesitated and then said, "You tell him, if he can get into the elite class in this class division exam, I’ll put his na forward."
Lin Xiaoqing realized that Teacher Sun had misunderstood, and was about to explain when she suddenly rembered the phrase "only fools and idiots participate", so she simply didn’t say anything.
As she stepped out of the office, she stood still for a long ti and then suddenly broke into a smile.
At the sa ti.
Zhao Yi was running on his way ho.
So acquaintances who passed by on their bikes would ask, "Zhao Yi, why aren’t you riding your bike?"
"Exercise!"
"Running ho?"
"Exercise!"
"Aren’t you tired? Do you want a lift?"
"Exercise!"
Zhao Yi was getting annoyed by the questioning. When he heard another voice, he blurted out in advance, "Exercise!"
"Together!"
Zhao Yi turned his head and found it was Sun Liang.
Zhao Yi and Sun Liang usually rode ho together. Since Zhao Yi decided to start running to and from school every day, Sun Liang was left alone. So he just slowly followed on his bike.
"That’s friendship!"
Zhao Yi was slightly moved, after running for a while he beca frustrated.
He was running.
Sun Liang was riding a bike?
That guy was slowly pedaling so slow that he was about to fall but he wouldn’t stop. It was intentionally, wasn’t it!
Sun Liang was completely oblivious, and said to Zhao Yi, "These days, I feel like you’ve changed. You’ve beco..."
"More handso?"
Sun Liang nodded, "Yes, exactly. You’ve grown a thick skin!"
"Piss off!"
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.
Changes in daily behaviors and habits are indeed hard to hide from long-term buddies.
Sun Liang squinted his eyes and thought, then suddenly asked, "I know the reason! Did you change your target? Right? You used to like Sun Jiali, but now you’re after Lin Xiaoqing?"
"You, truly have guts!"
He said with an admiring expression on his face, as if looking at a hero embracing death.
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes, "You are always thinking about these things, no wonder you can’t rank first! We’re now in our senior year, think more about studying!"
"Are you sick?" Sun Liang exaggeratedly grinned, "Not even two months have passed since you sent Sun Jiali a love letter at the end of last sester, and now you’re talking about studying? Even if my grades are poor, I’m still in the top ten in the whole school. Can you make it into the top ten in our class?"
That hurts!
Zhao Yi took several deep breaths. It took him a long ti to recover, pointed ahead with his hand and said, "Move on, let’s go! Let run in peace!"
Sun Liang didn’t mind and continued, "Seriously, Lin Xiaoqing is pretty good! She’s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful..."
"And then?"
"She has a temper and she’s strong?" Sun Liang was a bit unsure; he even laughed at his own words.
Two girls rode by on their bikes.
One of them, a girl with a lon-shaped face and quiet deanor, turned her head and gave a long, attentive look.
The other round-faced girl slowed down and cycled side-by-side with Sun Liang. She jokingly said, "Zhao Yi, should I introduce you to Linlin? You can bribe and Linlin can be your girlfriend."
"What?"
Zhao Yi recognized her as Li Juan from Class 1, a troublemaker among the girls. He asked sowhat puzzled, "Linlin? My girlfriend? Bribe you?"
"Yes, bribe !"
"I have no money!"
Zhao Yi put on a hooligan air, "Or else you can co to my house today, I can sweat out all these pounds, and give them all to you!"
"You’ve learned to act like a hooligan!"
Li Juan blushed. Even though she acted tough, she was still just a high school girl and couldn’t bear such bold words. She sped up and left Zhao Yi behind.
[Flirting, target: Li Juan, Study Coin 1.]
Six Study Coins in total!
Perfect!
Sun Liang squints, eyes barely visible. He looked at the dwindling figure and gave a thumbs up, "You really are sothing, you don’t even let Li Juan go!"
Zhao Yi shrugged nonchalantly.
A little girl?
Daring to argue with him?
"By the way, who is Linlin?" Zhao Yi asked with a bit of confusion.
"The one who just passed by on her bike. Don’t you know her? Zhao Linlin, from Class 1."
"She’s pretty."
"Indeed. And she speaks softly." Sun Liang nodded his agreent, then sighed with regret, "Unfortunately, no one dares to chase her."
"Why?"
"She’s Demon King Niu’s niece."
"——!!"
They didn’t speak for the rest of the way.
When he got ho, Zhao Yi rushed into his room and couldn’t help but pull out the envelope from his school bag.
Open it?
Don’t open it?
"It’s certain that I can’t be in a relationship, but it’s okay to see who wrote it." Zhao Yi couldn’t resist his curiosity and opened the envelope to see the signature at the bottom.
It was really Zhao Linlin?
Forget about it.
Study first!
