Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 42 This elementary school student is very strong but overly cautious
Li Yan was not as excited about the start of this semester as she was last semester. The main reason was -

Pretending is not fun enough.

It was the first semester after my rebirth, and everything was still new to me. I couldn’t wait to show off the improvements I had gained from the system and enjoy the envious looks from my classmates.

Now? It doesn't make sense. As his level improves, Li Yan, who aims to "stand on the top of all mankind", naturally finds it difficult to be satisfied with the affirmation of his classmates at Yucai Primary School.

The platform is indeed something extremely important.

Ding!
[Investment +1, total 2]

This... Li Yan, who was daydreaming in his seat, was suddenly stunned. Does this mean he realized the importance of the platform?
This can add investment attributes? The total number is only 2?

It is not something he should consider now. He only has one goal at the moment and is focusing on doing only one thing.

Linjiang Province Primary School Students Olympic Competition.

The school started at the end of February and it was only a week until the beginning of March. Many classmates had not yet gotten into the right state, but Li Yan had already embarked on the road to exams.

The capital of Linjiang Province, New Taipei City.

At that time, there was no high-speed rail, so you had to take a bus from Lincheng to New Taipei. There were only five students from Lincheng participating in the competition, and the Education Bureau organized a minibus to take them to the hotel at night.

Following the car were the leading teachers from each school and a leader from the Education Bureau.

The person following the car from Yucai was naturally Li Yan's math teacher Qiu Runlin, but the leader from the Education Bureau who followed the car was beyond everyone's expectations.

This was also the first topic in the car.

"Director Wang, why do you come in person for something like following the car?" asked the math teacher of Nancheng Primary School, sounding like they were quite familiar with each other.

Director Wang was still young and had a strong body. I heard that he was very popular among the female teachers. Because they had met once before and he had actively expressed his affirmation of Li Yan, Li Yan also had a good impression of him.

"Originally, there was no need for me to come. In previous years, Director Chen came to lead the team." Director Wang sat in the co-pilot seat, leaned back and looked at the last row where Li Yan was.

Mathematics teacher Mr. Qiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should say anything.

"Lin City has produced a treasure. I applied for it myself." Director Wang continued, "Li Yan, do your best in the exam and try to win another great honor for yourself."

"Yes." Li Yan answered decisively.

The expected hostility from teachers in other schools did not appear, but instead there were some envious exclamations and mutual flattery of business.

If these teachers were not worried about their students' opinions, they probably would not suppress their love for Li Yan.

The other children's behaviors were very complicated: one closed his eyes to rest, one looked back frequently, one pouted and looked out the window, and one turned a deaf ear to everything.

Li Yan didn't care about these. As the minibus entered New Taipei City, some fragments of memory gradually entered his mind.

He had been here, but he only remembered that he had been here.

Although he emphasized some frustration after work in his conversation with He Han and Zhang Ming, he actually only remembered one feeling. He kept saying that the boss was not good at this or that, but if he really wanted to talk about it in detail, he really couldn't explain it.

In 08, New Taipei City was at the peak of its development. The glass buildings that we took for granted later were still very eye-catching at that time. The prosperity after arriving at the city center shocked the children.

Mathematics teacher Qiu Runlin whispered a story to Li Yan. It was something he had seen ten years ago, a story full of the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. However, it ended with his family helping him find a teaching job and he married a girl who was a good match for him.

Li Yan glanced into Teacher Qiu's eyes and didn't want to guess whether there was any regret in those eyes.

The examination venue was set up in the famous New Taipei First High School, which is known as the twin peaks of New Taipei Junior High School together with New Taipei Experimental High School. But unlike the latter, which can be entered with money, New Taipei First High School has only one hard indicator, strength.

Therefore, this school is quite famous in the entire Linjiang Province education circle, and it is the dream of many top primary school students to wear its blue-green school uniform.

However, the school itself is average. After all, it is very old and the hardware conditions are very ordinary, but the environment is very good.

In early March, the spring chill was still there, but the new green had already climbed onto the branches. There were more than a hundred students participating in the competition, and they were divided into three classrooms for the exam.

Li Yan, who had a good rest last night, is now full of energy and has come to a higher level competition. No one knows him as the talented man from Lincheng, so his mentality is much calmer.

When the test papers were handed out, he felt a little bit achy and his spirit was extremely excited. The pen in his hand was like a sword that a soldier was about to swing.

Overclock your brain power directly, and solve the tasks at hand with the fastest speed and most focused attitude...

Coming back to his senses, Li Yan found that he had solved the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions fluently and without hesitation.

What's going on? The question just now seemed really easy?

He continued to do a few more questions. He had seen the question types before, his thoughts were clear, and his calculations were smooth. There was indeed no obstacle.

Until the second to last question, he still didn't find it difficult.

Could it be that this is all a trap and I haven't noticed it?
He went back to verify a few questions and confirmed that the answers were 100% correct. He immediately went from being self-doubting to extremely inflated.

Damn, the 50% progress bar is so awesome!

Then I was immediately hit hard by the last question.

The difficulty curve of this test paper is a gentle slope before the last question, but it becomes a 90-degree cliff at the last question.

The strangeness of the question types, the unique ideas and the huge amount of calculations are all daunting.

No wonder the answer sheet leaves a whole page blank for this question.

A simple proof question with just one sentence often involves a terrifying amount of calculation.

When the first solution that popped into Li Yan's mind was the exhaustive method, he suddenly became extremely nervous.

Just as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he had just filled up the answer sheet, the bell for collecting the papers rang.

Not sure, he wasn't sure if the answer to the last question was correct.

I always feel that there are some possibilities that have not been considered, but there is nothing I can do.

He regulated his breathing and looked around at the talented people present. Almost all of them showed emotions of annoyance and regret.

Everyone is very tired and the last question has disrupted their rhythm...right?

Li Yan saw that the boy sitting in the second to last row by the window was calm and composed, and was even spinning a pen in his hand.

This certainly didn't prove anything, but his breathing began to quicken again, and he even had an urge to go over and ask the child.

Li Yan packed up her stationery and stood up, deliberately walking past the child sitting in the protagonist seat.

Sure enough, he was discussing the last question with a contestant from the same school.

So it's not that I'm too strong, but the gap is only in the last question of this paper? Li Yan smiled bitterly, but then he heard:

"I don't even know where to start with that question, so I just gave up writing it."

I'm crazy...

When Li Yan was discussing the last question with Qiu Runlin on the minibus on the way back, the other four outstanding children from Lincheng had the same reaction:

"How did you find time to finish the last question?"

Soon they updated their response:
"No, how could you solve the last problem?"
