Free Web NovelChapter 145: Chapter 136: Zhao Yi Doesn’t Understand Mathematics?_2
Zhao Yi leaned in closer, whispering, "Actually..." He glanced around, as if afraid others might overhear, "Actually, I have a special study method that really helps improve grades. How about this, you come to my house today and we can discuss it in detail... conveniently, my bed...."
"Humph!"
Lin Xiaoqing interrupted him midway and haughtily turned her head away.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath.
Just as he thought!
Earning Study Coins from Lin Xiaoqing was getting harder and harder, as she seemed entirely immune to his flirtatious remarks.
What to do?
Change targets?
Zhao Yi hesitated, looking around and seeing Zhao Linlin and Hu Tianyan were both absent.
He couldn’t possibly lower his standards, could he?
Forget it.
He shook his head and got up, seemingly walked towards the front. As he passed Lin Xiaoqing, his arm swung in an unnatural arc, gently brushing against something...
Cough, cough.
Well, what’s done is done.
[Flirting with a girl, target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coins +3]
Behind him,
Lin Xiaoqing glared at him angrily. This bad guy was getting more outrageous!
She hadn’t gotten over the incident of him touching her hand at his house. This time... the mere thought made her blush. She buried her face on the desk and pretended to sleep.
The bell rang.
Zhao Yi had no choice but to return. He almost ’dashed’ to his seat when he received Lin Xiaoqing’s muttered threat, "You just wait, I will get my revenge!"
"Hmm!"
Zhao Yi licked his lips in thought.
Revenge?
What revenge?
It seems he’d have to be careful recently. No way could he let this girl take advantage of him!
...
Zhao Yi wasn’t just the ’benchmark for grades’ in Senior Year 3. He was also the ’benchmark for progress’.
In Math and English, he was naturally the benchmark for grades.
As for the comprehensive science subjects, he was the ’benchmark for progress’. Teacher Sun kept praising his performance in physics class. He almost got a perfect score in the physics final, astonishing everyone. freewebnøvel.com
"He managed to solve the very last question."
"His improvement is incredibly fast!"
"Everyone should learn from Zhao Yi...."
Zhao Yi didn’t feel anything as he heard the praises. He thought that if his classmates harbored any resentment towards him, it would be due to the teachers who kept flaunting his results. By doing this, they were just pushing him to be the enemy of the class!
Teacher Sun didn’t just praise Zhao Yi. After explaining the paper, she wrote a difficult question on the board that was equivalent in difficulty to the last question of the final exam.
Afterward,
She invited Zhao Yi to solve the problem on the board.
Teacher Sun’s intention was for Zhao Yi to demonstrate his process of thinking, solving, and explaining the solution to the difficult problem for the class. However, she never expected what would happen next.
Zhao Yi stood at the podium, scanned the problem, wrote down a number,
And then, another one.
After writing the formula for a circuit, he made just one calculation and directly wrote down the answer.
"What did he write??"
"What is that?"
"Is he solving the problem or thinking about how to solve it..."
No one in the class understood.
Teacher Sun only wanted him to get the right answer. Zhao Yi did not want to take the trouble to write out the entire process. Writing with a chalk was quite an effort. He glanced at Teacher Sun and asked, "Teacher Sun, is this okay?"
"What?"
Teacher Sun was taken aback.
"I’ve solved the problem. Here’s the answer," Zhao Yi said, pointing to his solution.
Teacher Sun quickly took out the answer key and glanced at it. He found that Zhao Yi had written the correct results.
But...the process?
"Do I need to write down the process?" Zhao Yi grumbled and continued to refine the steps he had taken previously.
The entire class was a bit dumbfounded.
They had no idea how Zhao Yi had worked out the answers; how could just a few numbers lead to the result?
Only after Zhao Yi slowly filled in the process did they realize that the numbers written earlier were the results of critical steps.
This...
Sun Liang suddenly sighed and said, "I have such a foolish brain; I simply can’t keep up!"
"So do I!"
"I simply can’t keep up!"
Teacher Sun stared blankly and remained silent.
Zhao Yi had already stepped down from the podium before she came to her senses, sighed, and thought even she felt ignorant.
Couldn’t keep up!
"How exactly did Zhao Yi solve the problem? Directly? The result came out in just two steps?"
"Presumably, he would have avoided explaining it to us if he could, knowing that we certainly wouldn’t understand, so he reluctantly wrote out the steps..."
"Is this the gap between ordinary people and geniuses?"
Teacher Sun started to explain the question with mixed feelings. In fact, there was not much to explain. The answer Zhao Yi wrote was even more concise than the standard answer, yet each step was extremely critical.
Everyone just needed to look at the answer.
...
After class.
After Teacher Sun returned to the office, he discussed the matter with other teachers. They all marveled at Zhao Yi’s genius and struggled to understand why he could solve the problems so effortlessly.
"Of course!"
Niu Lianhua stated understandingly, "Don’t you know? Zhao Yi scored full marks in the Mathematical Olympiad."
"And then?"
"Do you think that people who can get full marks in the Mathematical Olympiad have the same brain structure as ordinary people? That’s super genius! Their way of thinking is probably different. We are solving problems step by step, but perhaps once he sees the conditions, the results almost come out."
"It’s like a simple arithmetic calculation, four-digit multiplication. We have to calculate each step, whereas he may perform vague calculations, guessing the final result based on the relationship between numbers..." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Several teachers thought carefully and found that it made sense, suddenly looking at Niu Lianhua with newfound respect.
Xue Pinggui also looked at her.
Niu Lianhua said shyly, "Actually, I didn’t come up with this myself. I watched that show, ’Brain Power Burst’, where one contestant could calculate the decimal point of a square root... A guest named Li explained that he used this method."
"Oh, yes!"
"That’s really impressive!"
"It was on yesterday’s show, right? I watched it too," Luo Yongjun suddenly chipped in. "That Dr. Li also mentioned Zhao Yi, saying Zhao Yi is a computer genius, but not necessarily a math genius and that’s frustrating!"
Niu Lianhua stated firmly, "I think Zhao Yi is a math genius! He got full marks in the Mathematical Olympiad!"
Luo Yongjun responded, "Not only the guest named Li on the show, but have you noticed the news this morning? Many people online are saying that Zhao Yi doesn’t understand math at all."
"Why would they say that?"
"Because he gave a lecture at Yanhua University, claiming that he used a binary conversion method to crack a world mathematical problem..."
Luo Yongjun explained briefly.
"I’ve heard about that too, but that was just a joke, right?" Niu Lianhua shook her head and said, "I think, those people online, they got nothing to do, they’re jealous; Zhao Yi is just a high school senior, what kind of math could he understand? Saying that he cracked the problem seems funny. They even took it seriously!"
"Sick!"
Rudeness doesn’t prevent the logic!
Listening to this, the other teachers found that it really made sense. Who would expect a senior high school student to solve a world mathematical problem? Even if he scored perfect marks in the Mathematical Olympiad, it’s impossible since he hasn’t been exposed to advanced mathematical knowledge yet!
At the office entrance.
Making a mental note of Niu Lianhua’s words was Li Lisheng, the head of the year level. He was standing there and listening.
Indeed, Demon King Niu!
The most skilled at arguing!
She should get these responses out there on forums in a while to counter those online troublemakers!
