Chapter 146 The Test

This set of questions was indeed quite difficult, but Chen Yuan didn't think it was to the point of being impossible to finish.

It was about the same as the unified exam, maybe just a bit more calculation involved.

What, if others can't do it, even you, Wen Zi, can't do it?

You're the former chief of Class 18.

Have you fallen from grace?

Let me check your little tummy to see if it's as bloated as Zhou Fu's.

Tsk, I'm so cringey, what am I even saying?

"How is it?" Chen Yuan asked Zhou Fu, the girl who had furrowed her brows into a small eight, her face full of worry.

"Ah, difficult." After being asked, Zhou Fu sighed and said, "Although I had been learning with Teacher Xiao Yang last semester, I didn't do much practice over the winter vacation, and I feel like I've become useless. I'm completely out of it."

Originally, she could still improve her score on the unified exam-type questions.

But now, she felt like she had lost all her skills at once, completely regressing to her previous state.

Alas, this is learning, like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.

"What about you?" Zhou Fu asked Chen Yuan.

"It's alright, I guess," Chen Yuan said honestly.

"Just alright? You can say 'just alright' with these kinds of questions?" Zhou Fu was very surprised. "You little rascal, you wouldn't have been studying during the Lunar New Year, would you?"

"What are you talking about? I took Xin Yu home for the New Year. There were so many things to do, how could I study?" Chen Yuan immediately denied.

"You took Xin Yu home, so why couldn't you study?" Zhou Fu asked vigilantly. "Besides visiting relatives for the New Year, what else did you do?"

"Xin Yu and I were watching movies..."

"Tsk." Zhou Fu rolled her eyes at the boy, revealing an extremely disdainful expression.

Your Dao is fading away, and you're still watching movies with Xin Yu here.

The Chinese film box office is all contributed by you and Xin Yu.

But since he took a girl home for the Lunar New Year, and he even went to Jingnan with her, he probably didn't have much time to study.

And after the New Year, school was about to start, so he must have been playing catch-up, even less likely to study.

No matter what, Chen Yuan wouldn't be so dedicated.

"To be so hardworking during the New Year, that's just being born to suffer," Zhou Yu said from the side.

He Si Jiao in the back also agreed, "I believe Chen Yuan wouldn't be so shameless."

Born to suffer, shameless? You guys are saying such harsh things about a young man who loves to study!

"Nah, you definitely have to enjoy the New Year. Study? Study my ass."

Of course, Chen Yuan meant the few days of Lunar New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival when he said "New Year."

It was already the third or fourth day of the Lunar New Year, why would he still be celebrating the New Year?

I only studied a little bit, I really didn't push myself too hard...

Damn it, stupid Class 18, is studying something to be ashamed of?

I'm not completely from Class 18.

My real strength is from Class 1.

After collecting all the test papers, Xiao Yang randomly shuffled them and divided them into several groups, then had Tang Si Wen send them back.

Just like that, everyone had someone else's test paper in their hands.

"Check the answers, and then write the score on the side," Xiao Yang said.

After he said that, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Having classmates grade the test papers was at least much better than Xiao Yang's cold, impersonal grading.

And if it was assigned to a good friend, maybe they would let you off the hook...

But to think that way was obviously wishful thinking.

After getting Liu Yan's test paper, Tang Jian even showed it to Liu Yan, who was not far away.

Then the other party put his hands together, begging for mercy, his eyes seeming to say: Brother, give me a break.

Tang Jian smiled at this.

What a joke, if my test paper was in your hands, I could easily collude with you and let each other off.

But I'm here to save you, so who the hell is going to save me?!

Good brother, for your improvement, I can only be strict with you.

The test paper is not neat, with black blobs everywhere. Shouldn't I deduct five points for the messy paper first?

Chen Yuan got Zhang Ying's test paper, a classmate he didn't have a particularly close relationship with, so there was no question of helping her out.

Zhou Fu, who was next to him, looked at the test paper with joy and said, "Tang Bao's test paper is so neat."

"She's even calling her Tang Bao now." Chen Yuan felt that these two women were acting strange.

He suspected they had a light yuri (girl-on-girl) tendency.

"Let's draw a little bear for her," Zhou Fu said and immediately started doing it.

Then, she lowered her head and used her drawing skills to draw a cute bear with a pencil next to the heading of the test paper.

So childish.

I'll draw one for Zhang Ying too... never mind, we're not close, can't do it.

After all the test papers were distributed, Xiao Yang began to explain the answers.

Then, everyone began to grade the test papers fairly.

Chen Yuan graded a test paper that wouldn't even pass seventy, let alone get a high score.

There was no way around it, he could only give her the score she deserved.

While he was grading the test paper, he also looked at Zhou Fu next to him and found that Tang Bao's test paper had a pretty good accuracy rate.

As expected of the physics representative, she's got something.

Last time, Chen Yuan scored 103 on that kind of test, which was already very good, but still not as high as Tang Bao's score.

So far, the chief of physics was still Tang Si Wen.

Chen Yuan currently had dominance only in mathematics and English.

But this time, he should be a little higher than her, right?

After all, he finished all the questions.

After all the questions had been explained, Xiao Yang left three minutes for everyone to calculate their scores.

Zhang Ying, 68.

According to the passing score, 66 was the passing mark for a 110-point physics test.

Not bad, even with this kind of test, she still passed. She should be in the middle to upper range.

Tang Si Wen on Zhou Fu's side calculated a little slower. Chen Yuan watched for a while before he saw her add up the score.

96.

Hmm, Tang Bao actually didn't reach one hundred, that's not her usual standard.

It seemed that this mock exam was really tough.

Tang Si Wen was feeling a little uncomfortable being tested.

This was also normal. Students did have autonomy, but that would only happen when they reached the level of Sun Bai and himself.

Although Bao Bao-daren (Master Bao) was diligent and hardworking, that was also under the regular schedule and intensive courses of the school environment.

It was the Lunar New Year, with so many delicious foods, and Master Bao was a gourmet with aspirations. Understandable, understandable.

After adding up the scores, Xiao Yang directly took a sip of wolfberry water from his thermos and asked with great confidence, "Who got above 90 points?"

Two.

One was Chen Yuan and the other was Tang Si Wen.

Being able to get 90 on this kind of test, and after the holiday, meant they could usually get over 100.

And in Class 18, there were only two or three people who could get over 100 anyway.

However, to his surprise, only Zhou Fu raised her hand and said, "Teacher, Tang Si Wen, 96 points."

As soon as this score came out, the whole class exclaimed, "How awesome."

"It's even harder this time than last time, and she can still score close to one hundred."

"That's Tang Si Wen, so she didn't play at all during the holiday?"

"So steady, the physics representative."

"The best in physics in the class is a girl, that's just Class 18 for you."

While everyone was talking at once, Xiao Yang was a little surprised.

Why, how could Chen Yuan not have reached 90 points?

Although he was a little worse than Tang Si Wen in physics, he had been teaching him so diligently for so long, he shouldn't be below 90, should he?

Unless, he basically didn't touch my physics over the winter vacation.

Come on, you're a student who scores 700 points, someone who wants to be the top scorer, how could you have such a playful nature?

Honestly, Xiao Yang was a little angry.

His standards had always been different for Chen Yuan.

In fact, he only had two tasks in Class 18.

One, teach Chen Yuan well.

Two, teach the other students well.

In other words, the importance of fifty other students combined was only equal to Chen Yuan alone.

And you didn't even get 90?

I didn't say you had to surpass Tang Si Wen all at once, but isn't this score a bit disappointing to me?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang glared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan felt this glare.

He also felt a little strange in his heart.

What's going on? I shouldn't be below 90.

Could it be that I filled in the wrong answers on the multiple-choice questions?

But even if I got two multiple-choice questions wrong, my score should be 90+.

There's a problem, there's definitely a problem.

The little b who graded my test paper, what the hell were you spacing out about?

Raise your hand quickly, you little bastard!

Chen Yuan felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by Xiao Yang like this. He felt wronged, there must be a little b trying to harm him.

"How many got above 80 points?" Xiao Yang asked again.

This time, three people raised their hands.

Among them, Zhou Fu was especially lucky, stuck at the threshold of 80 points, 81 points.

Hearing this, Zhou Fu completely relaxed a little.

Although her score was much lower than before, she was still in the top five in the class at least.

As one of Xiao Yang's three major disciples, she wasn't too bad...

Wait, what about the second disciple?

Chen Yuan, what about you?

Xiao Yang was a little dazed after everyone above eighty raised their hands.

He was a little disappointed just now, but now he was puzzled.

A student who scores 700 points in the exam couldn't even get eighty in physics?

That's bullshit.

He must have made a mistake. The idiot who graded Chen Yuan's test paper must have calculated it wrong.

No matter what, he couldn't be below eighty.

Not reaching ninety was already incomprehensible.

How could it be so low?

Just as he was a little suspicious, a student weakly raised his hand.

"What is it?" Xiao Yang asked.

After raising his hand, a boy looked at his test paper and explained nervously, "Teacher, I'm sorry. I thought 'above 90 points' meant the range from 90 to 100..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang understood at once.

But also, he was stunned at once.

The students in the class spoke for him.

"Does that mean someone got 100+ on this kind of test?"

"Wouldn't that be higher than Tang-shen (God Tang)?"

"Come on, it's the first day of the mock exam. Didn't you watch movies, drink and play cards, go to karaoke, or play Guandan during the Lunar New Year?"

"Then that person can only be Chen Yuan..."

What everyone said was also what Xiao Yang was thinking.

But he couldn't accept it.

Because his original plan was to use this exam to get everyone to focus and return to high-intensity study.

Therefore, this exam was even more difficult than the last unified exam.

And the amount of calculation was greater.

Being able to get 100+ on this kind of test meant that on a more normal physics test, wouldn't he get above 108?

The reason why he wasn't easily saying that he got a perfect score in physics was also because no matter how difficult or easy any physics test was overall, there were always questions that would elevate the difficulty.

These kinds of questions were similar in both difficult and easy tests. The difference was how much time you had left when doing these questions.

So Chen Yuan, you're the one who got 100+?

"Chen Yuan, 104."

After the boy finished speaking apologetically, the class immediately exclaimed.

"Almost ten points higher than Tang-shen..."

"No wonder we didn't see him online during the Lunar New Year. This kid didn't slack off for a single day!"

"Roll up and go to Class 1."

"It's really corrupting the atmosphere of Class 18..."

Eh, that feels good.

After being vindicated, Chen Yuan's mood also improved a bit.

Damn it, it took so long to announce the results.

The screenwriter of this game of life is really good at dragging things out.

But it's also understandable.

Calling for "above 90 points" can generally also refer to 90 to 100 points.

I, Yuan-shen (God Yuan), forgive you.

At this time, Xiao Yang's gaze converged with Chen Yuan's again.

And unlike just now, Chen Yuan felt that Xiao Yang's gaze was not so sharp. He even pursed his lips, appearing a little embarrassed, as if to say: Well... I didn't glare at you just now, I wanted to glare at Tang Jian, after all, you're on the same line of sight, understand?

I understand, Tang Jian is the one who does that.

Understandable, understandable,余裕余裕 (yoyuu yoyuu - plenty of room to spare).

"Yeah, I know." After evaluating Chen Yuan's score like that, Xiao Yang said, "Pass the test papers back, let's go over the questions."

And that's how Xiao Yang spent the rest of the time dispelling doubts.

Until the end of self-study in the evening.

Then, Chen Yuan got up and put the test paper in his schoolbag and went home with Zhou Fu.

However, in the corridor, he found that Xiao Yang was also there.

After the two walked over, Xiao Yang also looked at them.

"Teacher," the two said in unison.

Xiao Yang nodded, then said to Zhou Fu, "You've regressed."

"...I'm sorry, Teacher, I will work hard to catch up," Zhou Fu said with her head lowered, embarrassed.

"Make sure you do what you say."

"Yes, yes, I will."

"Alright, you can go first, I'll talk to Chen Yuan for a few words."

And with that, Zhou Fu left first.

Then, Xiao Yang said to Chen Yuan, "Did you bring the test paper? Let me take a look."

"I brought it." Chen Yuan took the test paper out of his schoolbag and handed it to Xiao Yang.

This action also made Xiao Yang feel quite fond of him.

After finishing the exam, he didn't leave the test paper at school but took it back home, which meant he would review it again.

This attitude was acceptable.

Then, Xiao Yang looked at the test paper and studied it carefully, then nodded and said, "Not bad."

This "not bad" made Chen Yuan feel great.

This was praise from the great god Xiao Yang!

Then, Xiao Yang returned the test paper to Chen Yuan.

Huh?

No more praise?

Just that?

"Were you also doing problems at home during the winter vacation?" Xiao Yang asked curiously.

Chen Yuan nodded and replied, "Except for a few days of relaxation during the Lunar New Year, I was doing physics problems every day."

No wonder.

This kind of score showed that his physics hadn't regressed one bit because of the winter vacation.

He had been maintaining a high intensity of doing problems.

That was more like it.

That was the attitude of someone who wanted to be the top scorer.

While Chen Yuan was still a little unsatisfied because Xiao Yang's praise was too shallow, the other party suddenly put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't get cocky. For the physics subject, you should be aiming for a perfect score."

Xiao Yang knew about Shi Yi, this monster, and also understood this guy's terrifying science level.

It could be said that in recent years, Xia Hai had not produced anyone so ruthless in science.

So in the college entrance exam, his physics was basically a perfect score.

If Chen Yuan wanted to compete with him and not lose in physics,

he could only tie.

"Yeah, that's right."

Chen Yuan responded to Xiao Yang's encouragement with a nod.

What can I say?

He will win.

"I'm leaving."

"Goodbye, Teacher."

And just like that, after saying goodbye to Xiao Yang, the other party left.

And Chen Yuan walked towards the stairs, feeling quite comfortable in his heart.

At the corner of the stairs, he saw Zhou Fu standing with her arms crossed, her eyes rolling upwards, her mouth exaggerated, and she said in a crab boss-like tone, with a strange intonation: "Xin Yu and I are watching movies~"
