Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 166: Not Just No. in the Grade
Friday, November 2009, 1.

There was nothing special, it was just the day when New Taipei First High School announced the final exam results.

A day that made almost all the children in the dormitory wait in the cafeteria early in the morning.

The uncles and aunties in the cafeteria had started working half an hour earlier, but they still couldn't catch up with this group of sleepless students.

"Just curious, who in our dormitory got up the earliest today? Still Old Yan?" Lin Heng waited in front of the window, watching the aunt inside busying herself.

"It's not him." Liang Tiancheng replied, "I woke up at around five o'clock and couldn't fall asleep. Qinglun should be the first one to get up."

"I'm not. Chen Fan was playing with his phone early in the morning. I saw light coming through his quilt."

"Hey, you look so carefully?"

"Brother, you are the one who sees through the light, not me who lifts the quilt to see, okay?"

"Then this question becomes an unsolved mystery, because Chen Fan was hiding under the quilt and couldn't see anyone who woke up earlier than him." Lin Heng concluded.

"One thing is certain," Li Ruofei looked at Li Yan who was yawning behind him, "Ayan got up the latest today."

Lin Heng was shocked, "Old Yan, you were lying on the bed, were you really sleeping?"

Li Yan was speechless. "Lying on the bed is sleeping... is there anything surprising about that?"

"Final exam results are coming out, and it's winter break soon. Aren't you excited?"

"Fortunately."

"I give full marks to this pretense. People should be as calm as you..." Zhu Qinglun sighed.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, having no idea what they were going to face next.

In Class Zero, Guo Qiwen hurried into the classroom two minutes after the bell rang, which was rare.

And he rarely lost his usual calm and relaxed attitude.

Even the smile was not maintained naturally.

However, Guo Qiwen did not have any negative emotions at all. On the contrary, he was a little bit... excited.

This caused a little commotion among everyone in Class Zero.

Li Yan knew why.

"I won't keep you in suspense. The final exam results and rankings are already out." Guo Qiwen turned on the projector and put the transcript on it.

Just one glance and the whole audience was shocked.

Everyone had the same reaction. They first looked at the projection screen in shock, then looked at it again in disbelief, and finally turned to look at Li Yan.

Including Lin Zhengmo at the front table, her eyes looked like she had just discovered there was someone sitting behind her.

Chinese 119, Mathematics 120, English 120, Politics 100, History 100, Geography 100, Biology 100.

If it weren't for the one point deducted for Chinese, everyone would have thought that the first row showed the full marks for each subject.

119 is reminding everyone that this is the test results, and the owner of this line is named Li Yan.

It is not uncommon for students to get full marks. In the monthly examination of Class 0, excluding the additional questions, all students got full marks.

But look at Liang Tiancheng who ranked second in total score:

Chinese 111, Mathematics 119, English 115, Politics 96, History 97, Geography 97, Biology 98.

The full score was 760, and Liang scored 733, which is a very outstanding result, and also shows the difficulty of this exam.

Even he didn't get full marks in even one subject.

Li Yan scored 759 points.

This is not even pale in comparison, it can't even be evaluated together.

Liang Tiancheng's expression looked like his soul had left his body.

Lin Heng was stunned. Damn, are you serious about getting full marks in all subjects?
Li Ruofei and Zhu Qinglun looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit understanding. They thought there was a master in the dormitory, but it turned out to be a god.

As for the first place in each subject, no one was interested for a while.

The answer is obvious. Li Yan got first place in all seven subjects. It's impossible for someone to get full marks in Chinese, right?

Even Li Yan didn’t get full marks, let alone others?
However, the students still cared a lot about their grades. Guo Qiwen was slowly pushing forward the report card, while here there were sounds of lamentations and relief one after another.

There should have been some cheering and discussion, but Li Yan's results were like a mountain pressing down on them. Who would be willing to cheer for a single subject that was tied with him for first place?
Lin Heng still tied for first place in the subject with 100 in politics, and Zhu Qinglun also got the only full score in geography.

It can be said that I have defended the last bit of pride.

Li Ruofei won the second place in Chinese with a high score of 116, which was considered a proud achievement.

As for Chen Fan... he was in a very complicated mood now. As always, his total score was blew away by the top students in the experimental class, but the full score in mathematics that he used to cover up all his shortcomings was shared by another person this time.

The last question was really difficult, Chen Fan knew it very well - perhaps Liang Ban, who scored 119, knew it better.

Lin Zhengmo scored 99 in history, Suya and Ding Qing both scored 99 in biology, and there were many students in the class who scored 118 in English, ranking second in the subject.

But these are meaningless to discuss.

Guo Qiwen went through everyone's scores and then pulled them back to the top.

Everyone looked away for a moment because the score of 759 was too dazzling.

I can’t look at it anymore. If I look at it again, I will explode!
"Everyone should have seen that Li Yan won first place in the grade with a total score of 759."

The whole class burst into applause, but everyone had the same thought in their minds:
This is not just about getting the first place in the grade, this is almost full marks in all subjects.

Li Yan, who ranked first in the grade, had already passed the midterm exam. Everyone thought that he was the second Liang Tiancheng at best.

but now……

I got this score because this is the maximum score out of the total possible on the test.

Li Yan's strength limit has become unimaginable. Under his super-standard results, the geniuses of Class 0 of New Taipei No. 1 Middle School have become eclipsed. Obviously, the low score is because the test paper is too difficult, okay!

Class Zero still took the top 29 places in the grade. Let’s go and see the situation of the experimental class. When I go home for the New Year, my relatives will definitely complain about me for getting such low scores.

In regular classes, the average math score was even close to failing.

At this moment, Li Yan is the focus of attention of all the students in the class, but...

Everyone is helping you to show off, why do you look like nothing happened?

Bai Xiaosheng was close to the water tower and got the moon first. While Guo Qiwen was analyzing the overall situation of this exam on the stage, he asked Li Yan:

"Shen Yan, why don't you look too excited about this score?"

"It's expected."

I shouldn’t have asked that question. Bai Xiaosheng didn’t expect that he would become a victim and felt itchy all over.

"Are you confident that you can get this score?"

"You'll know after the test, otherwise the teacher made a mistake."

"Are you satisfied with this result?"

"Didn't I get full marks in Chinese yet?" Li Yan sighed.

Bai Xiaosheng was screaming in his heart, he wanted to slap himself in the face and question himself, why did he keep asking?

But Li Yanzhen was not pretending. For him, from the moment his data broke through, being first in the grade no longer had much meaning or challenge.

He just wanted to use a stunning full score in all subjects to exchange for the freedom to study and live in New Taipei No. 1 Middle School.

No wonder those big bosses who have earned tens or hundreds of millions have so much money that they can’t spend it all, but still work hard every day to make money.

People's appetites will be expanded, and so will their ambitions.

“I have no interest in money.” – Jack Ma.

In fact, Guo Qiwen was still struggling with how to deal with Li Yan's result until the last second before entering the classroom.

The children in Class Zero have a very valuable quality - self-confidence.

The biggest difference between them and other students is that they are confident in maintaining their passion for learning.

A large part of this self-confidence comes from the recognition of one's own "genius" identity, but this recognition also comes from the environment.

The higher your performance, the more powerful this self-awareness becomes.

But Li Yan's existence may shatter their cognition.

This was not the first time that Guo Qiwen taught Class Zero. He had come into contact with various talented students before. He believed that in this class, the only ones who could truly be called top geniuses were Li Yan and Chen Fan.

Liang Tiancheng is an extremely outstanding student. Like Chen Fan, he won a gold medal in the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad. However, he is too conventional. He can only exert 120% of his combat effectiveness within the normal framework.

Kids like Chen Fan created their own framework.

These two geniuses, both of whom were studying high school math, were faced with questions that were so beyond the syllabus that the math group leader was worried about being complained about. The fact that one got full marks while the other was always one or two points short is very telling.

As for Li Yan?

He simply dismantled the framework and focused on wild growth.

His talents and abilities in sports, literature, music, and performance were all seen by the students in Class Zero. Now, Li Yan pulled away the last fig leaf and laughed:
The little one is also very cute.

I’m going to die...Guo Qiwen kept wavering between "taking Li Yan as a role model" and "worrying that his classmates would lose confidence."

Finally, he chose the "free" route. He only used one sentence, "Li Yan got the first place in the whole grade." The children in Class Zero were all very smart. No matter what he said, Li Yan's almost full marks in all subjects had already shocked their hearts.
In this case, it is better to grow freely and decide how to view Li Yan and how to examine yourself.

It is their adolescent issue.

I'll just be responsible for finding bugs and correcting errors. If any child has a mental breakdown, I'll have to find a way to cure him. Perhaps by then Li Yan will have to step in.

Guo Qiwen looked at Li Yan with a mysterious smile.

Some students from other classes had already left the classroom noisily, preparing for the winter vacation. Guo Qiwen said no more, and in his closing remarks he wished everyone a wonderful vacation, then announced the end of the last class of this short semester.

The discussion in Class Zero broke out at once, and everyone looked towards the magical window seat in the second-to-last row - just after a round of rotation, Li Yan returned to the seat where she sat at the beginning of the school year.

However, the seat was empty at this time.

As soon as Guo Qiwen announced the end of get out of class, he hurriedly chased after him through the back door.

"Teacher Guo, is it really impossible to get a full score in Chinese?"

Good boy...

"can."

"Then why am I 119?"

“Are you so confident about your composition?”

“I am so confident in my Chinese.”

Guo Qiwen smiled and said, "I'll give you a goal. It's only the end of the first semester of the first grade of junior high school."

Li Yan looked worried.

"What's wrong? Are you so upset about missing out on just one point?" Guo Qiwen asked with concern.

"Originally I could just say 'full marks in all subjects', but now I have to say 'only one point was deducted for Chinese', which makes me less impressive and more talkative." Li Yan shook her head, "Alright, see you next semester, Teacher Guo, don't forget the newspapers you promised me."

Guo Qiwen stood in the corridor and watched Li Yan and her roommates disappear around the corner. He had only one question in his mind:
How did Li Yan’s roommate survive?
From then on, Li Yan’s wonderful first semester career at New Taipei No. 1 Middle School officially ended.

To sum it up in one sentence:

He entered the campus as a sports student in September 08 and left in January 9 as a god.
