Chapter 211: Chapter 179 Nothing to Show Off, Basic Operation
Sunday.
Today, because of the schedule adjustment, we have classes.
"Boss, why has your sticky rice price gone up again?" Lin Li, who was riding his bike to buy breakfast for his friends, saw that the price list had been updated, with another fifty cents increase, and asked the owner.
"I can’t help it, I don’t want to either, but duck meat prices have gone up again recently." The boss replied helplessly.
Lin Li squinted.
"That’s not right, boss. Most of the toppings on the sticky rice are mushroom chicken or pork, right? What’s it got to do with duck meat?" Lin Li questioned.
"I love eating duck meat. Without making a bit more, I can’t afford it." The boss answered.
Lin Li: "..."
OK, I’m convinced.
With such an explanation, Lin Li could accept the price increase.
After buying breakfast and placing it under his raincoat, Lin Li then rode his bike to school.
The weather forecast was accurate; it rained yesterday, so the bike-riding plan fell through.
Although it was drizzling today, it actually felt even more stuffy and hot.
Before it officially starts to cool down and enters autumn, we’ll probably have to wait for a cold front to bring a shower.
"According to unofficial history, in order to eliminate Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun used a beauty trap and invited Lu Bu to drink at his home. During the conversation, Wang Yun mentioned Guan Yu warming wine to slay Hua Xiong, valiant in battle, wielding the Cyan Dragon Crescent Blade, a contemporary tiger general.
Lu Bu heard this and laughed dismissively: "Guan Yu? Not worth mentioning. My Fangtian Halberd is twelve feet long, and the shaft alone is twelve feet."
At that moment, Diao Chan overheard from outside the window, her heart stirred, and that’s why she married Lu Bu!"
"I see, no wonder Lu Bu always asks where his ’loop’ is. It indeed needs to be looped, or else it’s uncomfortable!"
Every day, if Lin Li doesn’t hear Bai Bufan’s Three Kingdoms tales when entering the classroom, he feels an itch in his heart.
Now he’s at ease.
"Tech answer sheets? Have the tech results been released?" After distributing breakfast, Lin Li noticed an extra answer sheet on his desk and asked.
"They should be, the class representative just handed them out. Once the multiple-choice answers are out, you can calculate it yourself." Bai Bufan nodded.
Although the exam just ended on Friday, the marking time for Wednesday and Thursday’s subjects was actually quite ample.
In fact, during last night’s self-study, the biology grades were already out.
Lin Li scored 94, tying for fifth in the class, and the biology teacher mentioned him by name for praise.
With exams, once you see where you went wrong after getting the results, you instantly understand, but during the exam, no matter how much you check, you can’t figure it out.
Once the thought process is set after the first pass, it’s tough to spot your logical errors. Of the six points deducted, four could have not been lost, and Lin Li felt a bit regretful.
However, despite the regret, Lin Li was quite satisfied with this score; it was a good start.
Even though Wang Yuezhi scored 96, he had an odd look in his eyes towards Lin Li last night.
Could it be that he really wants to acknowledge an enemy as a superior?
...
"You guys are really giving back what was taught to you to the teacher. In the class, more than half of the students managed to get such a question wrong. It’s just unacceptable; you must pay attention next time. Alright, there are a few more questions, I’ll take time during evening self-study to explain them to you."
After the bell rang, the chemistry teacher shook his head and left the classroom.
No matter whether the subject scores are out or not, all teachers are going through test papers aiming to finish by National Day.
Otherwise, after the holidays, if asked why they did it that way, this group of students would definitely not be able to answer.
"I think the chemistry teacher misunderstood us. If we don’t return the knowledge he taught us, what will happen to the next batch of students? You guys who don’t return what you take are really too selfish." Bai Bufan stretched and disdainfully said to Lin Li, who was in the correct half.
In the realm of shamelessness, Bai Bufan leads the way.
"You really are thinking of the teacher." Lin Li gave him a thumbs up.
Bai Bufan smiled and then put away the chemistry test paper, glanced at the class schedule pasted on the desk, and started looking for the history test paper in the drawer:
"Though there were some minor mishaps, compared to before, it’s much better. As of now, my new phone is still within hope. History is my least confident subject, so many questions were just guesses, hoping to get more right."
Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan’s test paper, yawned, and left the classroom from the back door.
A few minutes later, just before class started, Lin Li returned through the front door.
With chalk in hand, he walked to the blackboard under the gaze of all classmates and began writing.
[ACCBD]
[BCBAA]
[CADBA]
[DDBCB]
Then he knocked on the blackboard and said to everyone, "These are the history answers, double-check them yourselves."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned to the multiple-choice section of the history test paper to check their answers.
History class representative Wen Muyang: "?"
Did the teacher abandon me?
Why give the history answers to Lin Li and not to me, the class representative?
Everyone furrowed their brows, but one person’s expression lit up brightly, then they suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "Whoa! All correct! Bao Wei! I aced the history multiple-choices! It’s solid! It’s solid! My new phone is almost certain now!"
The joys and sorrows of people don’t interconnect.
"Hmm? Huh?" Chen Yu Ying became more confused the more she checked the answers, more puzzled, then she lifted her head in doubt: "Lin Li, are these the correct answers the teacher gave you?"
"How could the fourth question be B? How could it be attributed to Lin Zexu leading the Boston Tea Event?" Chen Yu Ying’s face was full of questions.
"The eighth question is off too, why is the Hammurabi Code issued by Cixi? Is this correct? It can’t be right, can it?"
Once Chen Yu Ying spoke, it instantly sparked agreement among the already confused crowd, who all raised their heads to question Lin Li.
"I never said these were the correct answers from the teacher." Lin Li honestly stood on the podium, looking somewhat innocent.
Chen Yu Ying: "?"
"Then what are these answers?" Chen Yu Ying continued to pursue questions on behalf of everyone.
"These are just Bai Bufan’s history answers; I just let you check them against yours." Lin Li revealed a sincere smile.
Classmates: "?"
The whole class put down their red pens, turned their heads, and looked at Bai Bufan.
At this moment, Bai Bufan seemed oblivious to what Lin Li was saying, immersed in the joy of getting everything right.
"Yo~ Bao Wei, really, that many crosses?"
"Your history level is so lousy, huh?"
— As a genius historian, Bai Bufan had already transformed into the Master of the Shadow Flow, performing the MVP settlement dance, swaying left and right, looking pleased, humming an unknown tune, sarcastically taunting Zhou Baowei.
"Actually, getting all history multiple-choices correct is just like that, there’s no need to mention it every day because I know there are many people who get it all right. Constantly mentioning my full marks as if I’m the only one seems unnecessary..."
"History is really too simple~~ too simple, oh oh, too — sim — ple — "
He continued dancing like that until he realized the class was unusually quiet.
Bai Bufan raised his head.
When he quieted down, the classroom fell completely silent.
He blinked his eyes:
"Hey?"
"Why is everyone... looking at me?"
