Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: This is not bullying, this is love!

The ’Youth Cup’ Knowledge Competition is an event organized by the provincial education department to promote Quality Education. freēwēbnovel.com

The provincial education bureau’s influence doesn’t extend to the nation, let alone the world.

Ordinary high schools do not value competitions highly.

Even the Olympic Competition, which can earn extra points for the College Entrance Examination with a first prize, is not regarded by ordinary high schools.

So, the main reason is not about negligence, it’s simply that students from ordinary high schools can’t win awards.

The ’Youth Cup’ Knowledge Competition is carried out by schools. Hundreds or thousands of high schools in the province participate in competition for four spots in the finals. Normally, only key high schools and prestigious private schools with excellent students can truly make it to the finals.

The preliminaries are just examinations.

But the finals are different.

The competition organized by the provincial education department does receive high support. Teams from schools that managed to emerge victorious from hundreds and thousands of others and enter the finals get to participate in the ’province-level live broadcast’ finals.

This is the key point!

Think about it.

For Zhengyang No.13 Middle School, an ordinary school, to appear in a province-level live television broadcast, it would certainly increase the school’s fame significantly.

When Wang Chengmin received the news, he was completely stunned.

Wait...

Did No.13 Middle School participate in this competition?

And made it to the finals?

Was there a student who answered two hundred questions correctly?

Is this a joke?

Only after Wang Chengmin confirmed multiple times did he start believing, and immediately felt as if he’d just won a big prize.

Now, he was overwhelmed by excitement and surprise, but only showed enthusiasm and relief.

"Zhao Yi, he is the model and representative of our No.13 Middle School’s Quality Education!"

"He is the pride of No.13 Middle School!"

"Students who have good academic achievements and high quality, they have great potential in the future!"

"The school will soon come up with a reward plan." Speaking of this, Wang Chengmin turned to face the students and teachers, "Zhengyang Thirteenth Middle School not only pays attention to students’ academic achievements but also values Quality Education. Zhao Yi is an excellent example of this!"

"Letting students develop comprehensively and enhance overall quality is the direction of education development..."

"¥#%..."

Wang Chengmin started his speech.

Zhao Yi felt the principal’s enthusiasm, with all eyes focused on him, he was initially a bit flattered, but then he started feeling a bit bothered as time went on.

Boy, this Wang Chengmin sure can talk!

No wonder he’s the principal!

When the bell rang, signaling the end of class, Wang Chengmin finally realized he wasn’t at a lecture, and immediately bid the teachers farewell, turning to Zhao Yi he said, "You performed excellently in this competition, keep up the hard work! Strive for the finals and bring honor to No.13 Middle School!"

"You can do it!"

Wang Chengmin gave Zhao Yi a thumbs up.

They finally left.

As soon as the teachers left the classroom, the students immediately began excitedly discussing it.

Most students didn’t fully understand the situation, they just knew Zhao Yi answered all the questions correctly, helping No.13 Middle School’s team make it into the competition’s final four.

He Ronghua, Sun Li, and Lin Xiaoqing, chirped in to explain things a bit.

Half an hour, two hundred questions!

Nine seconds a question!

Some classmates quite vividly compared it, "If it was arithmetic within one hundred, I could probably get all of them right, right?"

Unsure.

It’s easy to finish all the questions, but it’s a little hard to get all of them right.

Sun Li’s eyes were shining with admiration, and she added fuel to the fire, "Did you know? Zhao Yi even fell asleep during the test. At the end of the test, he was woken up by the invigilator."

A group of people surrounded him in surprise--

"That’s incredible!"

"Can he really answer a question every few seconds correctly?"

"No kidding, Zhao Yi, you’re not human, are you?"

"God Zhao!"

"God Zhao!"

Lin Xiaoqing, with her blinking eyes, kept staring at Zhao Yi’s face, "You knew the answers in advance, didn’t you!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yi nodded with a smile, looking around, he said, "Actually, you’ve all overthought this, I just knew the answers in advance. The exam was all about writing down those answers."

"Cut~~"

Nobody believed him this time.

Those in the class who were familiar with Zhao Yi knew he was from an ordinary family. The question paper of the provincial competition was kept highly confidential, it was impossible for him to get the answers in advance.

That day was relatively mundane.

Zhao Yi rode his bike home like any other day, studied hard until midnight.

He went to bed, woke up early and went to school.

The life of a student is laborious and boring, but he somewhat takes pleasure in it, even almost treating studying as a hobby.

"If I had this mindset before, even without the system, life would surely have been different!"

Sighing is useless.

With his enthusiasm for studying, Zhao Yi cycled through the school gate.

Then, he stopped.

By the edge of the school field next to the driveway, a banner about twenty meters long was hung, with a line written on it: "Congratulations to our school representing team for reaching the ’Youth Cup’ knowledge competition finals!"

The lower right corner of the banner laid out the names of the four students participating.

’Zhao Yi’ was listed first.

"That’s lucky!"

"They were listed horizontally..."

Zhao Yi had just breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard a shout, "That’s Zhao Yi!"

"He scored full marks in the preliminary, answering two hundred questions correctly in half an hour!"

"Super tough! Super brutal!"

"God Zhao!"

Whoosh!

A crowd gathered.

Zhao Yi hadn’t reacted before he was surrounded, with students of the same grade, as well as juniors from higher grades.

They are so passionate!

"What are you all up to? Why are you surrounding him?" A voice rescued Zhao Yi from the crowd.

"Leave!"

"All of you, leave!"

Lin Xiaoqing ran over in excitement, and took Zhao Yi by the arm and moved forward, Zhao Linlin also ran over in a rush, grabbing Zhao Yi’s other arm.

Both of them took on the role of bodyguards, one on each side,

Sun Liang stood in the back with his mouth agape. He had wanted to go help, taking the opportunity to show off his close friendship with ’God Zhao’.

Then...

Only the bicycle was left?

Damn it!

Zhao Yi was escorted to the door of Class Three, Zhao Linlin could only regretfully return to Class One.

Lin Xiaoqing pulled Zhao Yi back to his seat.

Everyone else was looking over.

Lin Xiaoqing rolled up her textbook as a mic, and interviewed Zhao Yi on the spot, "Zhao Yi, you scored full marks in the preliminaries, helping No.13 Middle School to break into the finals. Please tell us, how are you feeling right now?"

"This is normal."

Zhao Yi waved his hand calmly.

"Then, what about being the focus of No.13 Middle School? Now, everyone in the school knows about you."

"...It’s so bothersome, like you right now, disturbing me."

Unconcerned, Lin Xiaoqing laughed and continued, "Then, how does it feel being escorted by two beautiful girls as bodyguards?"

"Two?"

Zhao Yi frowned in confusion, "Isn’t there only one? She has left."

"Ha ha."

A group of people chuckled.

Zhao Yi pointed at Lin Xiaoqing, his mouth agape in surprise, "You’re not... aren’t... thinking of yourself..."

Lin Xiaoqing’s eyes became sharp and dangerous.

She raised her little fist.

Clenching tightly.

"Yes, yes!"

Zhao Yi rubbed his buttock hastily corrected himself, "You’re a beauty! A big beauty! The prettiest in the world!"

[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin+1.]

"Whew..."

"That’s more like it!"

When Teacher Sun came in, he caught a sight of Lin Xiaoqing’s raised fist, and immediately scolded, "Lin Xiaoqing, don’t bully your classmates!"

Lin Xiaoqing blushed and turned her back, pretending to be an ostrich.

On the side.

Sun Liang continued his whispering interview, "God Zhao, how does it feel to be bullied by a female classmate?"

"You don’t know shit!"

Zhao Yi said disdainfully, "This isn’t bullying, this is love!"

[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin+1.]

Lin Xiaoqing immediately turned her head around, looking Zhao Yi up and down.

"Hmph!"
