Free Web NovelChapter 30: Chapter 30: Cause and Effect Thinking Ability
Zhao Yi returned to the elite A class classroom and found out about the selection results.
The first place was Sun Liang, who got twenty-six questions correct.
"Sun Liang ranked first?"
Zhao Yi’s face was full of surprise.
Sun Liang was sitting in the back row with his legs crossed. He spoke loudly with pride, "Zhao Yi, you didn’t expect it, did you? I told you, I can get in on my own merits!"
Zhao Yi didn’t want to bother with him.
Lin Xiaoqing looked over seriously, then glanced at the smug Sun Liang, and whispered suspiciously, "I feel like something is not right!"
The results were not right!
If he had only gotten more than a dozen questions correct, one or two more than others, and won by a narrow margin, it could be attributed to good luck.
Twenty-six questions?
Impossible!
Lin Xiaoqing was sure that Sun Liang had cheated, and that Zhao Yi was involved somehow, but she couldn’t figure out how they cheated.
The problem was...
Zhao Yi, like everyone else, only saw the test questions during the selection exam. He only looked at the paper for a few minutes and didn’t have enough time to go through all the questions.
"Who’s the other one?" Zhao Yi didn’t care about Lin Xiaoqing’s suspicion.
Nowadays, evidence is needed!
"It’s me!"
Sun Jiali was sitting in the middle of the last row. Her face was adorned with a dazzling smile. She took the initiative to speak up, "I was lucky, I got thirteen questions correct."
Her gaze was somewhat playful.
Zhao Yi understood her meaning, which was to say, ’you didn’t agree to let me join the competition team, but I still got in on my merits’.
Sun Liang had the same idea.
Only, Sun Liang’s was purely an act, while Sun Jiali was truly... freewёbnoνel.com
Truly?
Zhao Yi carefully examined Lin Xiaoqing, then turned his head to look at Sun Li and He Ronghua separately, and immediately suggested a question in his heart.
[In the selection exam, did anyone help Sun Jiali cheat?]
[A. Yes.]
[B. No.]
[Causality Law!]
[Answer: B.]
No!
"Are all women lucky as well as beautiful?"
Zhao Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth.
After the self-study class began, people continued to discuss the competition team matters.
Lin Xiaoqing turned her head and whispered, "Actually, two other people also got thirteen questions correct. We originally thought about giving a few more questions, but as soon as they saw they were competing with Sun Jiali, they withdrew."
"Two boys?"
Lin Xiaoqing’s expression was strange as she nodded her head.
Zhao Yi couldn’t help but marvel at Sun Jiali’s charm. No wonder he was dazzled during high school, it wasn’t just his problem.
Fortunately...
Now his mentality was different.
Zhao Yi carefully observed Lin Xiaoqing. Her face might not be as fair and smooth as Sun Jiali’s, but it was definitely more exquisite. The only difference was probably the lack of makeup?
Deep breath!
Nice smell!
"What are you doing!" Lin Xiaoqing quickly dodged and gave the table a frustrated smack.
The teacher on the podium turned his head, and she immediately turned her head to pretend to be an ostrich, her cheeks flushed with a touch of red.
[Flirting, Target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin +2]
`"I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t help it!"
"Ha, ha..."
Zhao Yi awkwardly explained in a low voice, and quickly lowered his head to pretend to read seriously.
The selection for the competition team was over.
Everyone involved in the selection knew the difficulty of the questions, and many questioned Sun Liang’s results as he got twenty-six questions correct, which was a bit too many.
The second place only got half as many right!
People talked in private, suspecting Sun Liang of cheating.
No problem!
Sun Li, Lin Xiaoqing, and He Ronghua stood in front!
Especially Sun Li, she was very proactive. Whenever she heard someone mentioning the related matter, she immediately angrily rebutted, because questioning Sun Liang’s cheating meant questioning their leaking of questions.
Lin Xiaoqing and He Ronghua also said it was impossible, repeating the process of setting the questions and taking the exams.
The rumors became less and less.
No matter how others discussed, everything had nothing to do with Zhao Yi. No one suspected him at all.
He could now study with peace of mind.
...
The harvest from nearly half a month of hard studying was quite significant.
Zhao Yi couldn’t say he had regained his previous level, but he had recovered almost eighty percent of it.
The basic knowledge of each subject, formulas, theorems, and the experimental content of physics, chemistry, and biology were all freshly imprinted in his mind.
Zhao Yi gained confidence again.
Even relying on his own abilities, he was confident he could make it to the elite B class, but the gap between elite B class and Shuimu University was still as insurmountable as ever.
Shuimu University had only a pitiful few dozens of enrollment slots for Nanjiang Province, so the admission score line was naturally frighteningly high.
Over the past ten years, the minimum admission score for Shuimu University has been over 640, with an average score of around 670.
"To get into Shuimu University steadily, I have to score at least 670!"
Zhao Yi analyzed carefully.
English was not a problem; 140 points were relatively stable.
Chinese scores were a bit lower, but could still reach 120 or higher. There was room for improvement, but improving Chinese scores was too difficult. No matter how much time was spent studying, it might not work.
So, the improvement of scores relied on math, physics, chemistry, and biology.
"Start with math!"
Zhao Yi made up his mind.
Back when he was in high school, his math was not very good. For the college entrance examination, he only scored a little over 100. If he wanted to improve his math level, doing practice questions became crucial.
First, focus on functions!
Math fill-in and the first big question usually involved functions and trigonometric functions.
Sin, Tan, π, graphs...
And so on.
If the question had a slight change, the solution method might change dramatically.
Zhao Yi immersed himself in practicing function questions, and when he couldn’t solve a problem, he would ask Sun Liang.
Sun Liang was a true math genius!
No matter what kind of question it was, Sun Liang could quickly solve it.
"Is this all it takes? Why didn’t I think of it? It’s so simple..."
Zhao Yi felt a bit defeated.
When he returned to his seat, his expression suddenly became serious.
The system had a new prompt-- freēwebnovel.com
[Ding dong!]
[Academic reputation has reached the standard, Top Student System has activated the research module.]
[Activating...]
[Found an iOS code loophole and achieved research success.]
[Research Coin +5.]
[Academic reputation increased!]
[Research Coin +1.]
Zhao Yi listened to the prompt in his ear and immediately called up the system.
[Open the system!]
The system panel immediately appeared in his mind--
[Name: Zhao Yi.]
[Brain Domain Development: 5.3%.]
[Wisdom: 61.]
[Energy: 91/103.]
[Study Coin: 177.]
[Research Coin: 6.]
[Ability: "Causality Law". (To activate the next stage of ability, you need to consume 1000 Study Coins.)]
"Wisdom has increased by one point?"
"Research Coin?"
Zhao Yi carefully observed the research coins and roughly understood their function.
As the name suggested.
Study Coins were used for learning.
Research Coins were used for conducting research.
Study Coins could increase concentration.
Research Coins were to enhance causal thinking ability and gain inspiration for a period of time?
"Inspirational stimulation is easy to understand, but..."
"Causal thinking?"
"I only know about logical thinking, but what is causal thinking?"
After checking the usage of Research Coins, Zhao Yi found that he was even more confused.
