A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 180 Subtle Differences, Strength and Weakness (Thanks to Alliance Master Yue Gu Cheng)
Thirty minutes early, Chen Yuan sat in the examination hall.
Looking around, almost everyone was wearing their school uniforms.
The few who wore their own clothes stood out, looking like locals from Ning City who had left directly from home.
Students from other cities basically wore the same school uniform, as this saved the teachers a lot of trouble.
In this examination hall, most were students from prestigious schools. Even a provincial experimental high school that was slightly inferior had only a few representatives.
Eleven High?
What the hell, Eleven High was in the top twenty in the province!
Among the top-tier high schools, Hai High, Fourth High, First High, and Affiliated High all had at least one person, with Hai High having two.
Indeed, even if they were locals, Hai High's school uniform naturally gave off a sense of superiority and pressure. If Chen Yuan were in their shoes, he wouldn't have changed into casual clothes either.
However, he basically didn't know their strengths.
Only the student from Fourth High could be somewhat judged.
He was a Pink Label, a student in Fourth High's experimental class, but his math skills were definitely much, much stronger than Xin Bao's.
After all, she herself admitted that her grades in her class were at the lower-middle level, and she wouldn't be considered for any competitions no matter what.
Of course, even knowing that this person was relatively skilled, Chen Yuan didn't plan to use Heart's Voice.
Because the weakened Ultra-Sense was too harmful to the body to use.
You want an unhealthy Itachi to use Tsukuyomi for three hours?
He'd die on the spot.
Moreover, in this situation, Heart's Voice was definitely not as useful as another weakened Ultra-Sense.
At this moment, with ten minutes left before the proctor entered, most of the students taking the exam didn't know each other and weren't chatting much.
If Qiu Meng was here, she might pull him aside to talk, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single person from Eleven High here besides himself.
Rest, replenish your strength as much as possible.
With his hands crossed on the desk, Chen Yuan was just about to rest his chin and meditate for a bit when he smelled a whiff of medicated oil.
Ugh, disgusting.
He had just stimulated Tang Siwen with it for a minute, and the progress of the other party's awakening was indeed maxed out, but it also meant that the medicated oil on his hand had completely marinated his fingers.
It's still early, I'll go wash my hands.
Thinking that there was still plenty of time, Chen Yuan got up and left the examination hall.
At this time, he happened to run into Tang Siwen coming out of the examination hall as well. So, he took the initiative to say hello, "How's it going?"
"Much better." Tang Siwen nodded, trying to sound relaxed, "I feel like the side effects of carsickness have completely disappeared."
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Chen Yuan thought she seemed a bit forced.
This question stumped Tang Siwen.
She did have something on her mind.
Qiu Meng had seen Chen Yuan touching her just now, and she didn't have that good of a relationship with the other party. If word got out, Chen Yuan would be in trouble.
Breaking up was definitely out of the question, but Chen Yuan would definitely be criticized…
At the moment, there were only two solutions.
One, plan B, get rid of Qiu Meng.
But that's illegal.
Two, get closer to Qiu Meng, and then also learn some of her little secrets, so that a balance can be formed…
"Well, I'm going to the bathroom, what about you?"
"I'm going to the bathroom too." Tang Siwen said.
And so, the two walked to the bathroom together, and then she went into the women's bathroom, while Chen Yuan was in the sink area, washing off the medicated oil on his hands.
Speaking of which, does Bao Bao Daren think I wanted to take advantage of her when I touched her?
But I was really worried that she would fail the exam.
I swear, this is absolutely pure classmate friendship.
And Tang Siwen should also be very open-minded, right…
At that time, after she observed for a moment, she actively leaned her face a little closer to me.
She was completely unguarded.
Or rather, she had no 'resistance' as a member of the opposite sex.
I should try to do this kind of thing less in the future, it's best to avoid suspicion, to avoid misunderstandings.
"Chen Yuan."
Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came.
Chen Yuan turned his head and found Liu Chengxi coming out of the men's room, also standing next to him washing his hands. So, he greeted him with a smile, "Yo, here to relieve yourself?"
"…" Liu Chengxi didn't respond to this crude remark, he was still thinking about that matter. Now that Shi Yi wasn't here, he just asked directly, "Did you finish the paper in two hours, or did you only do the 106 points' worth of questions?"
"I don't know, anyway, there were still a few questions I didn't touch." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"…"
A few questions undone, meaning that everything he did was correct, which is why he got a perfect score.
He finished those in two hours…
Although he could also do it, since Chen Yuan had such strong ability, why didn't he finish all of them?
Doesn't the achievement of getting a perfect score appeal to him?
Liu Chengxi was different.
He had strived for first place since he was a child, so when he took the high school entrance exam, he also chose First High, even though his home was closer to Fourth High.
1, is very important.
"Are you going to cut your score this time too?" Liu Chengxi asked.
"Definitely not, last time it was because I had to catch a train, I really didn't have time. This time, I'll definitely write until the last minute." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"It seems like you're not interested in math." Liu Chengxi asked.
"Who would be interested in studying?"
"I am." Liu Chengxi said seriously.
Chen Yuan: "…"
Impressive.
"Are you participating in this just to get extra points?" Liu Chengxi asked curiously.
If he could get a perfect score, it would mean that he had the strength to be in the top five in Xia Hai. And for math, even if he wasn't in the top five, being in the top twenty would allow him to enter the Qiang Kun program, which would give him even more extra points, right?
"Well… my girlfriend's score is exactly ten points higher than mine, it'll be easier to catch up to her with these ten points." After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he wiped his wet hands on his clothes, preparing to leave.
At this time, Tang Siwen, who had come out of the bathroom, leisurely handed him a paper towel.
"Thanks."
Chen Yuan took the paper and wiped his hands.
Then Tang Siwen also washed her hands next to him.
No wonder he's such a romantic, his girlfriend is so beautiful…
Liu Chengxi understood the reason for Chen Yuan's hard work.
It wasn't because he was competitive, nor because he liked studying, but purely because he wanted to go to the same university as his girlfriend.
But your girlfriend is also in the examination hall, if she gets extra points, wouldn't she be ten points higher than you again?
Strange.
"There are very few people who get a perfect score in the main competition."
Looking at Chen Yuan, Liu Chengxi issued a challenge, "Since you've come all the way from Xia Hai, do your best. Let's have a competition, but there's no stake."
Last time it was because the maximum score was only 120, which was not challenging at all.
And now, after the difficulty of the questions has increased, the standard for winning has become who is closest to a perfect score.
It's only natural for me to beat those academic gods.
But I also want this strange student who doesn't participate in the second test to give it his all.
"Okay, bye."
Chen Yuan greeted him and left with Tang Siwen.
And Liu Chengxi, although he was going in the same direction, following him now would be a bit of a mood-killer, so he waited for the other party to walk away before returning to the examination hall…
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know him, but he's a pretty interesting chuunibyou (的中二病, someone with delusions of grandeur)."
"Indeed." Tang Siwen also thought the other party was a bit obsessed, but she seemed to understand, and then nodded, "My math has always been the best, after you surpassed me last time, I also started paying more attention to your grades."
"Ah? Are you so concerned?" Chen Yuan was surprised, he thought she was very easygoing.
"Yes." Tang Siwen didn't hide it, saying, "I don't have any other special skills, I don't sing well either, only studying. So, if I can't even do my best in studying… I'll feel inferior."
Inferior? Mua!
Even if you're not good at studying, don't you still have looks?
"So he's just too eager to be the top scorer, so he's extremely serious about every exam, wishing he could beat everyone." Chen Yuan immediately understood.
After walking to the entrance of the examination hall, Tang Siwen stopped, gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up, and said, "Chen Yuan, beat him."
"…I might have a better chance of taking down He Hongtao."
No, people don't know my bottom line, so they're adding their own spin on things (迪化, Dihua, a term used when someone is overthinking or adding layers to a situation or person).
You know I barely made it into the top 100, why are you so confident in me?
"Good luck."
"Yeah, you too."
Chen Yuan was just about to leave when Tang Siwen suddenly clenched her fist and extended it towards him, and when he looked puzzled, she explained, "I saw you do this with 47 when you were playing basketball last time."
"Okay."
Clenching his fist, he gently bumped it against Tang Siwen's small fist.
