Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 144: Chapter 136: Zhao Yi Doesn’t Understand Mathematics?

Professor Liu left.

He came in a rush, left in a rush.

Professor Liu’s schedule is always packed, that he could squeeze in time to meet Zhengyang and Zhao Yi is quite a feat.

He felt the trip was worth it.

’Zhao’s Filter’ greatly assisted his studies, and hacking in with Zhao Yi’s was like a refreshing leisure activity for him.

Zhao Yi also gained from it.

Not to mention the experience he gained from designing the invading code, he also had Research Coin credited to his system account.

[Successfully invaded overseas website, ’One Eagle’ alias’s fame is on the rise.]

[Research Coin+6.]

[Academic reputation increased!]

[Research Coin+2.]

This time, only the Research Coins increased, and the increase due to academic reputation was minimal and there was no new Study Coin notification, which left Zhao Yi feeling a bit gloomy.

He pondered over it and concluded the reason must be its degree of relevance to him.

’One Eagle’, is just a code name.

Others cannot link him to One Eagle so his academic reputation wouldn’t be recognized.

Zhao Yi felt a bit regretful, but he couldn’t ask for too much. The few programs he used for the hack - disguise, one-time trojan, eavesdropping - didn’t cost him much effort, he only did a little research during his spare time, so to get eight Research Coins was pretty good.

He biked to school.

[Physical exercise, Study Coin+2.]

Zhao Yi greeted the security guard uncle at the gate, with a good mood he brought his bike into the school, went straight to the elite class A classroom, and returned to his seat, immediately feeling something amiss.

By recess, it felt even weirder.

The unease came from the grudge-filled gazes of his classmates. Zhao Yi glanced around, baffled, and asked, "What’s wrong? I just got here, I didn’t upset you guys, did I?"

Zhao Linlin said lazily, "You’ve offended everyone."

"Huh?"

The others gathered around, complaining one by one, "Zhao Yi, how on earth did you take the test? You nearly scored 700!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Didn’t you know, for several classes now, the teachers have been talking about you!"

"You are indeed other people’s child!"

"149 on math, shocking right! Sun Liang only scored 148?"

"..."

Zhao Yi opened his mouth in astonishment, and subconsciously asked, "Did I not get a perfect score on my math?"

Instantaneously.

The surroundings filled with resentment, the ominous wind blowing. Zhao Yi quickly laughed it off, asking, "Are the detailed scores available? How much did I score?"

"695! Just five short of 700!"

Lin Xiaoqing turned around, grinding her teeth as she announced the score, "149 in Maths, 146 in English, 124 in Chinese, 276 in Science!"

"Are you a god or something?"

"If you’re a god, then ascend to the heavens and stop causing chaos here!"

The tone of Lin Xiaoqing’s voice represented the attitude of the whole class, They had, after all, endured several classes of bombarding. Even Mrs. Wang Ping, their Chinese teacher, claimed that Zhao Yi’s scores had relatively improved over the previous term, especially with two more ancient poems written correctly from memory.

Zhao Yi quickly waved his hands and said, "Got lucky, got lucky, haha..."

Only when the bell rang for class, did he finally escape his predicament.

Truth be told, Zhao Yi was a little surprised by his scores, not because they were high, but because they were a bit lower than what he expected. He felt that he should have scored over 700 after finishing the exam.

For instance, math.

Shouldn’t he have aced it?

If it was just short of one point to a perfect score, that means he didn’t complete the process section and had a point deducted, or the teacher didn’t want to give him a perfect score and found an excuse to deduct a point.

The Science scores weren’t up to 280, it lacked just a bit.

The worst was Chinese.

124?

Zhao Yi couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. He’d spent the previous few days mostly studying Chinese, with most of his time spent memorizing ancient poems, he also focused on several reading comprehension questions, yet his score improved only by a few points.

Chinese, such a difficult subject to get better grades in!

He would definitely not express dissatisfaction with his score, this could lead to greater resentment from his classmates.

This must be the sorrow of top students!

Zhao Yi sighed.

Lin Xiaoqing was far more upset than he was. She scored a high of 657, although it was lower than the midterm exam, considering the difficulty of the questions, most students’ scores decreased, which was practically equivalent to her scores improving.

But...the gap had widened!

Last time, Lin Xiaoqing was only one point behind Zhao Yi, she thought that a little more work or better performance would help her catch up, but now she feels completely devastated.

How big is the gap between 657 and 695?

It’s like heaven and earth!

These are not even scores of the same level!

could definitely vie for a top ten ranking in the province, while 657 is simply ’good at studying’. If the exam was slightly easier, she may be ranked several hundred places back.

Another break.

Lin Xiaoqing turned her head to rest on Zhao Yi’s table, her big eyes blinking as she stared at Zhao Yi, she sighed deeply and asked, "How do you study? I go to tutoring every day and only scored a bit over 130 on math, yet you managed to get a perfect score."

Even Ms. Niu Lianhua said so in class, she saw that Zhao Yi got everything correct, so she deliberately deducted a point from him.

Same with Sun Liang, who also had points deducted over minor mistakes.

Zhao Yi just smiled.

Lin Xiaoqing continued, "Also, how did you test? Every single multiple-choice question across all subjects is correct? Especially in English..."

"Blah blah blah~~"

Zhao Yi frowned slightly, thinking seriously, should he purposefully get one wrong the next time?

He can’t be perfect all the time!

Next time, he’ll get a question wrong in English. English multiple-choice questions are worth the least, some are only worth one point!

Lin Xiaoqing finally finished her rant. Her eyes still wide open, she stared intensely at Zhao Yi.
