Chapter 199: Chapter 169: Flying an Airplane or Riding a Rocket? _3
"You’re too freakin’ nuts!"
"I can understand getting a perfect score in math, but how did you manage to get 136 in Chinese? Lin Xiaoqing only got 130."
"Is this score basically guaranteeing you the top spot in the College Entrance Examination?"
"Don’t forget, Zhao Yi has bonus points too! He has 20 extra points for winning first prize in the Mathematical Olympiad, making his total score 753."
"So, no matter how hard I try, even if I get a perfect score in every subject, it’s impossible for me to surpass Zhao Yi, right?"
"No way!"
"Right?"
"I mean, you can’t get a perfect score, let alone ’in every subject,’ not even in one subject!"
Zhao Yi’s score was just too astonishing!
The second place was a student from Zhengyang No.1 High School, with a score of 703, which was in a whole different league compared to Zhao Yi. Even the teachers grading the papers exclaimed, wondering if there had been a leak in the exam or if the examination process wasn’t rigorous enough. Since the invigilators were teachers from other schools, the possibility of a leak still existed.
Once people found out that the first place was Zhao Yi, the genius high school student who had proven the Collatz Conjecture, no one raised any doubts. Zhao Yi’s papers were incredibly perfect; his math was even more accurate than the standard answer, and he got 299 points in comprehensive science. It was just that one small question in a big problem where his solution was too concise, so the teacher deducting one point.
It was kind of unfair to deduct that one point. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Zhao Yi wrote his answer according to the process given in "Connection Law," which gave the most concise and logically clear answers. Perhaps the system thought it was unnecessary to add an extra step, making the process slightly simpler.
Although it’s not really significant how many points he scored, he could have already chosen any school he wanted. However, for students, research, achievements, or world conjectures are just too far away, and scores are definitely more intuitive.
Many people were quite devastated.
Lin Xiaoqing had long given up on competing with Zhao Yi. Her score wasn’t bad, 668 points, ranking her tenth in Zhengyang City and securing the top spot at her school.
He Ronghua’s total score was only 651, which showed a gap between him and Lin Xiaoqing.
This demonstrated Lin Xiaoqing’s progress.
Lin Xiaoqing was satisfied with her score, but seeing Zhao Yi’s score still made her desperate. She returned home and complained, "I ranked tenth, but do you know how many points Zhao Yi scored?"
"How many?"
"733! And he has an additional 20 bonus points." She said with a helpless look on her face.
Lin Xudong seemed to be in a good mood. He put down the remote control and raised his voice to comfort her, "Qingqing, it’s okay. I believe in your intelligence. As long as you continue to work hard, you can definitely surpass him."
Both women in the room looked at him simultaneously.
Lin Xiaoqing glanced at her dad, changed into her slippers, and went into her room.
Zhao Hongjuan complained, "Did you even listen to what Qingqing just said? You’re just blabbering nonsense, talking about surpassing Zhao Yi..."
"What’s wrong with surpassing Zhao Yi? Can’t that boy be surpassed?" Lin Xudong asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhao Hongjuan calculated with her fingers, "Zhao Yi scored 733 points, with 20 bonus points for winning first place in the Mathematical Olympiad, making his total score 753. The highest possible exam score is 750. So, Captain Lin, how do you plan to surpass him?"
Lin Xudong asked in surprise, "He scored more than the highest possible score?"
"Yep! How do you plan to surpass him? By flying a plane or riding a rocket? Why don’t you, the team captain, directly adjust her score?"
"Ha, ha."
Lin Xudong awkwardly laughed, "Well, let’s not surpass him, just do our best and try to catch up."
Zhao Hongjuan pondered and nodded, "Makes sense."
