Free Web NovelChapter 80: Chapter 75: What on Earth is This Girl Thinking!_2
Sun Liang did receive preferential treatment.
Not only did Niu Lianhua help Sun Liang choose questions, but she also guided his thinking slowly by looking at the answers.
That was how you treated your own child.
Actually, it wasn’t entirely Niu Lianhua’s fault, as the main Olympiad math problems were too difficult. Within less than an hour at noon, it was already impressive for He Ronghua, Lin Xiaoqing and others to complete three or four simple problems.
If the difficulty of the problems was increased, they could only stare at them, and they couldn’t solve them even after a long time of pondering.
That was how Olympiad math worked.
Some children have received Olympiad math training from a young age and know how to think, so solving problems is relatively easier. For those who haven’t received Olympiad math training, relying purely on thinking to solve problems requires a lot of mathematical ability, talent, intelligence, logical thinking ability, and even luck.
Sun Liang was much better in comparison.
Although he had never attended a math Olympiad training class, he had been reading Olympiad math books all along, and his mathematical level was very outstanding, capable of solving most of the problems.
Today.
Niu Lianhua printed a set of test papers for everyone to do.
As she handed out the test papers to a few people, she said, "This is a test paper from the city-wide exam the year before last. You can try it out."
The city-wide exam was a qualification screening. Students had to register and take the qualification screening exam. Only those who passed the city’s screening could go to the provincial level for the official Olympiad competition.
Zhao Yi took a glance at the test paper and saw six multiple-choice questions, six fill-in-the-blanks, and four big questions. The test time was 120 minutes, fewer questions than regular math exams, but definitely more difficult.
The difficulty of the Olympiad qualification exam in the city could not reach the level of the Olympiad, but it was merely a screening for the participating students.
Of course.
For ordinary students, the difficulty was still very high.
After getting the test paper, Zhao Yi quickly scanned the questions and did some simple calculations--
The total score of the test paper was 200 points.
He was sure to get 36 points from the multiple-choice questions, and 18 points from the fill-in-the-blanks, as their answers were limited.
In the big questions, there were two proof questions, securing 55 points.
If he only relied on the "Causality Law" and "Connection Law", he could get a passing grade, but if he wanted to pass the city’s first round, passing grades would not be enough.
So he had to work hard on the test.
The previous intensive math problem-solving sessions and pondering over Olympiad problems were helpful as Zhao Yi forced himself for more than half an hour, he still managed to solve three fill-in-the-blanks and one big question, while also filling in the multiple-choice questions and the two fill-in-the-blanks with limited answers.
Time was almost up.
Niu Lianhua casually looked around.
Since there were only five students, she was very careful when looking at each of them.
Lin Xiaoqing, He Ronghua, and Zhou Xin were all within expectations, only filling in a few multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blanks, with a not-so-low error rate.
Zhou Xin had three wrong multiple-choice questions and only one correct fill-in-the-blank question.
Lin Xiaoqing and He Ronghua both had one or two multiple-choice questions wrong and managed to solve two fill-in-the-blanks. He Ronghua even solved half of a big question with a seemingly correct thought process, while Lin Xiaoqing solved a proof question.
"It seems Lin Xiaoqing and He Ronghua have a slight chance of passing the city’s first round," Niu Lianhua murmured as she walked to Sun Liang’s side.
Sun Liang had filled in all the multiple-choice questions, left two fill-in-the-blank questions blank, and completed one and a half big questions. Only one multiple-choice question was wrong, and the rest was basically correct.
The gap was evident.
Niu Lianhua nodded in satisfaction, pointed out Sun Liang’s mistakes, and then glanced at Zhao Yi’s test paper. At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but after a few looks, she was stunned. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Multiple-choice, all correct!
All five fill-in-the-blanks, all correct!
One big question, with the correct result!
Niu Lianhua was so surprised that her mouth fell open. Zhao Yi’s answers were 100% correct, and his problem-solving speed was similar to Sun Liang’s.
She simply picked up Zhao Yi’s test paper, looked at it carefully again, and asked loudly, "Zhao Yi, how did you do this so quickly? And everything is correct?"
Zhao Yi just smiled.
The others looked over as well.
Lin Xiaoqing and Sun Liang were not surprised. Sometimes, Zhao Yi could solve high-difficulty Olympiad problems, so it didn’t seem unusual for him to complete test papers quickly and accurately.
Sun Liang really wanted to crack open Zhao Yi’s head to see how he had developed recently and how his math skills had improved so quickly.
He Ronghua and Zhou Xin were both surprised.
In the end, Niu Lianhua left with astonishment, suddenly remembering that Zhao Yi’s English had scored 104, his other subjects had also improved rapidly, and he had scored high on the math monthly test.
So upon thinking about it, it seemed quite normal?
...
Back in the classroom, several people were still discussing the test paper, with Lin Xiaoqing talking non-stop.
Zhao Yi knew that Lin Xiaoqing was worried.
When Lin Xiaoqing is worried about something, she keeps talking non-stop. He simply changed the topic, "Tomorrow is the holiday, do you still have to attend the tutoring class?"
"Of course."
Lin Xiaoqing pouted unhappily, "Tomorrow morning, math, and the day after tomorrow morning, physics."
"You still get to rest in the afternoon. Chin up!"
That persuasion was useless.
Only two days off in three weeks, and there are tutoring classes during the holidays, which means she doesn’t even have a normal rest.
"I plan to go to the internet cafe tomorrow and play all day!" said Sun Liang, looking forward to it.
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes and asked, "Monkey, didn’t you say you’d quit playing games? Besides, you have a computer at home, right?"
"My dad won’t set up the internet."
Sun Liang felt down about it, "He said to wait until I go to college... When I’m in college, do I still need to play on the computer at home?"
"Hahaha~~"
Lin Xiaoqing laughed in schadenfreude, then asked Zhao Yi, "What are you going to do over the weekend?"
"Working overtime."
"Overtime?"
"I have a job to do, and I plan to finish it tomorrow." Zhao Yi casually explained.
Sun Liang suddenly suggested, "Zhao Yi, why don’t I come and find you tomorrow then? Besides, you have a computer at your place."
"No way!"
Lin Xiaoqing suddenly laughed, "Right! Zhao Yi, I don’t know what to do tomorrow afternoon either, so let’s go to your place. We can play poker together."
"Three people?"
Sun Liang obviously wasn’t willing.
"No!" Zhao Yi firmly refused, "I have lots of work to do tomorrow, it’ll take a long time. Besides that, I still haven’t finished my part-time job."
"What part-time job? Being a waiter?" Sun Liang joked.
"It’s a computer-related part-time job, you wouldn’t understand even if I tried to explain!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqing was even more curious, she grabbed Zhao Linlin and laughed, "That’s it! Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll bring Linlin along, and we four can play cards together."
"Okay!"
Zhao Linlin smiled and nodded her head, "We’re playing cards for money, don’t be heartbroken if you lose!"
"Of course."
"Absolutely not!"
"I just want to play online games..."
Zhao Yi rubbed his temples hard and could only nod and say, "Fine."
He thought that by working hard tonight and tomorrow morning and noon, he would pretty much finish everything, so relaxing and playing cards during the break seemed like a good idea as well.
"Yay!"
They all cheered together.
Lin Xiaoqing sat back down, her expression immediately turning angry, her lips pouting like they were swollen, and she muttered under her breath, "I said I’d go, and he refused!"
"As soon as I mentioned bringing Zhao Linlin along, he immediately agreed!"
"Damn Zhao Yi!"
"Damn Zhao Yi, damn Zhao Yi..."
Zhao Yi looked at Lin Xiaoqing, who was muttering to herself, and bewilderedly patted her arm, asking, "You..."
"What’s the matter!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Lin Xiaoqing turned her head away and forcefully squeezed out a smile.
Zhao Yi stared at her for a long time, then chuckled slyly, "I wanted to remind you, bring more money tomorrow. If you don’t have enough money for playing cards, hehehe."
"Hmph!"
Lin Xiaoqing disdainfully left behind a soft snort.
After a while,
[Flirting, target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coins+3.]
Critical hit?
Zhao Yi looked up in surprise, and saw that Lin Xiaoqing’s skin behind her ear seemed to have turned a little flushed.
This girl...
What was she thinking?
