Chapter 578 Ultra-Difficult Math, Chen Yuan is Interviewed

The second exam, mathematics.

He entered the exam room early and sat down in his seat ahead of time.

In this exam, Chen Yuan's mindset was much more peaceful than in the previous one.

Before the language exam, he needed to calm his breathing and adjust his state. But for mathematics, he seemed much more composed.

It was like playing a best-of-five series. After winning the first game, his state in the second game became much more relaxed.

Of course, Chen Yuan was, after all, a high school student, so he was still quite tense.

Ah, no, I mean, Chen Yuan, as a student taking the *gaokao*, had been practicing problems for so long that even if he was a bit more relaxed, he still maintained a concentrated balance during the competition.

Based on the difficulty of the first exam, language, this year's national exam paper didn't seem to be beyond Chen Yuan's expectations.

The difficulty was alright, not too tricky.

It seemed that as the first year of the expanded model, they were aiming for a smooth transition. Otherwise, there would be a storm of complaints online.

If that were the case, then his battle with Shi Yi might really be interfered with by others.

For example, a certain Source God from Fourth High—Ke Jiayuan.

This guy was a genius at solving medium-difficulty problems. As long as the questions were suitable, he might even be able to unseat Shi Yi.

Don't be too easy, don't be too easy.

Don't let Ke Jiayuan get a customized champion title!

Amid Chen Yuan's prayers, the mathematics exam officially began.

The first five minutes were for looking over the paper.

As he looked, Chen Yuan's expression gradually became serious...

This, something's not quite right.

Then, he skipped directly to the last question.

Sure enough, something really wasn't right.

This exam was very unusual.

Could it be that the test setter was that...

Turning his head, Chen Yuan glanced.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

But even if it wasn't him, the difficulty of this paper was somewhat similar to his style!

This kind of paper reminded Chen Yuan of a *gaokao* from a certain year.

Also a national paper.

In that exam, in the major education province of Jingbei, the top scorers in science and liberal arts had math scores of 144 and 142 respectively.

Although the math difficulty for liberal arts was much less than for science, math was a subject that top scorers usually wouldn't score much lower than a perfect score on.

And science was even more so. Science top scorers were basically perfect or near-perfect in math.

The scores of the two top scorers were only so-so, let alone those ordinary high-scoring candidates.

At this moment, the paper Chen Yuan was doing undoubtedly had this kind of trend.

To put it exaggeratedly, in the entire Haidong, the number of people who could get a perfect score on this math exam probably wouldn't exceed five.

And that was in this year, a year of explosive talent in the *gaokao*.

Let alone ordinary people.

Someone like Xia Xinyu, if she could score 130, it would already be considered an excellent performance.

This is bad.

Some people were probably going to be crushed by this exam.

However, that had nothing to do with him.

Since mathematics had really granted his wish and made things so exaggerated, then he had to seize this opportunity.

The Source God of Fourth High had lost the chance to become the customized champion.

Then this champion would be reserved by the Source God of Eleventh High!

………

Outside the Eleventh High exam site, the reporters were waiting anxiously, just like all the parents.

And compared to other exam areas, the number of reporters here was relatively higher.

"There were fewer people this morning, and I didn't catch Chen Yuan, so my editor scolded me like a pig, sigh..." a cameraman grumbled.

"So the station director ordered the number of interviewing reporters to be increased to three times the original," the female reporter holding the microphone said with a slightly awkward smile.

"Now, the interviewing team's strength exceeds that of Fourth High and First High."

According to past situations, Fourth High and First High were definitely the biggest exam sites, after all, they were the two strongest schools.

And Eleventh High like this, couldn't be considered anything at all.

You had to know that this school couldn't even rank in the top five, or even top seven, in Xia Hai, so naturally, the media wouldn't invest too much energy in it.

But this year was different, the provincial top scorer candidate was in this school.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had such a famous experience of 'cyberbullying the internet'. According to the words of young people now, interviewing Chen Yuan would definitely be a hit.

"Hopefully this year's math is very simple, and then Chen Yuan, because of his good grades, writes the fastest, and becomes the first one to come out. The top scorer candidate, being the first to leave the exam room, there are too many highlights, right?" the female reporter said with a smile.

"You can tell you're shooting the *gaokao* for the first year, right? You're thinking too much." The male cameraman smiled and said, "No matter what kind of exam, easy or difficult, the first one to come out can't be a top student."

"Then what is it?"

"Either they're recommended students, or they're giving up. You can say that handing in the paper thirty minutes early is the limit of the rules, not the limit of the underachievers." The male cameraman thought of his own *gaokao* and then said, "At that time, I was already considered early to hand in the paper, but after leaving the exam room, I found that there were crowds of people, a large group."

"Hiss, when Chen Yuan comes out, will we be able to catch him?" The female reporter became nervous.

"The leader's requirement for our group is, do nothing else, just stare at Chen Yuan, unlike other people, who also have to interview some other materials." The male photographer chuckled, and then muttered, "If we don't even catch Chen Yuan in math, then just wait for death."

"Ah..." Hearing this, the female reporter fell into great pressure, "What should we do?"

"It's okay, at worst, just die..."

"What are you saying?"

In this way, reporters and parents were waiting for the candidates to come out.

And at the thirty-minute mark before the end of the exam.

Only two minutes had passed, and a boy rushed out.

So, the responsible reporters and cameramen quickly surrounded him.

Many parents also looked over.

And the boy was also very understanding, and went directly to the microphone, without waiting for the other party to speak, he shouted: "Strengthen Tiandao Chao!"

Hearing these words, the parents were speechless.

Another high school student who was poisoned by games.

Jack Ma, listen to me, turn off the games and save the children!

"..." The reporter was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask with a smile, "Student, you are the first one to leave the exam room, is it because this exam is very simple?"

"Simple? I didn't even look at the questions!" The boy laughed out loud at the time, and when the parents all had disgusted expressions, he said again, "I'm recommended to Haidong University!"

In the next moment, the parents' eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, many people applauded together.

This clever child is so humorous!

After all, for the vast majority of Haidong parents, Haidong University was like a god.

What MIT, what Harvard Cambridge, in the hearts of Haidong people, are not as good as studying medicine or computer science at Haidong University.

"You're recommended? That's really amazing. So, do you have any thoughts on this exam?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Although I didn't look at the questions much, I observed the reactions of other students in the exam room." The boy thought for a while, and then said with a laugh, "Many people were about to cry, maybe this exam is a bit difficult!"

Useful information!

"I see, then thank you for your cooperation."

"Remember to strengthen Tiandao Chao, it will lose blood when injured now, it's too weak!" After the boy finished speaking, he ran away directly.

Then, the reporters grabbed those students who handed in their papers early for interviews.

Sure enough, as everyone thought.

Those who handed in their papers early were basically poor students.

The answers were either saying the next stop was the construction site.

Or they were saying they were going home to inherit the family business.

There were also those who directly asked the TV station—does your TV station still recruit cleaners?

It was not easy to get a top student, and they were basically recommended.

However, according to the student who was recommended and did some of the questions, this year's *gaokao* math was really quite difficult.

Compared to the previous Haidong papers, the difficulty had increased a lot.

After all, so far, no one had finished the paper and handed it in early.

This point was very rare in the *gaokao*.

After all, no matter what, there were always masters.

And since there wasn't even a single master who handed in the paper early, it meant one thing—the masters were still fighting!

Finally, they waited until the bell rang.

The reporters and cameramen still hadn't seen Chen Yuan.

In this way, a large group of students came out of the exam room.

Among the girls, one in ten was crying.

This proportion was very exaggerated!

It wasn't to say that only one in ten thought it was difficult.

But the proportion of people who were driven to collapse by the questions and broke down on the spot reached one-tenth.

This was too exaggerated.

Of course, out of morality, these crying students could not be interviewed.

But they could be filmed.

The cameraman focused the camera on the female students who came out and hugged their parents directly.

"It's too difficult, what kind of questions are these!"

"It's not like Ge Jun, the old ancestor, set the questions, how can it be so difficult!"

"If the *gaokao* is done like this, isn't it determined to send me to the factory?"

The students were complaining, and because the exam was not over yet, the parents were comforting them.

"It's okay, if it's difficult for you, it's difficult for everyone."

"Put down this subject, there are still two more exams."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, cheer up tomorrow."

In this way, the scene at the entrance of the exam site showed the various aspects of the candidates.

And the reporters and cameramen were concentrating on looking at Chen Yuan's photos, catching that person.

Finally, a handsome guy of 183 came out!

Then, the two people rushed up directly and stood in front of him.

The passers-by, seeing the media like this, also curiously cast their eyes over, concerned about who had such a big scene.

"Hey, isn't that Chen Yuan?"

"Oh, that boy who donated money, right?"

"He seems to be a super student, how did he do on this exam?"

"It's so difficult this time, he came out quite slowly, did he not do well on the exam?"

Amid everyone's discussions, Chen Yuan walked towards the opposite side of the road.

"Student Chen Yuan, everyone says that this math exam is difficult, what do you think of this math paper?!" Because of nervousness, the female reporter's voice was a little inappropriately loud.

Although Chen Yuan was being interviewed, because he was going to see Xia Xinyu, he was a little anxious and didn't stop.

The camera and microphone were chasing him like this.

"The level of the question setter is still very high," Chen Yuan said.

After he said this, everyone felt the difficulty.

"Even Chen Yuan, who often gets full marks, said this, then it seems that math is really difficult."

"The first year of promoting the national paper, why do you have to do this?"

"Really, my daughter's worst subject is math."

"But it should be okay, it's difficult for everyone. Even Chen Yuan thinks it's difficult, which means that the average score of this math exam will drop a lot, right?"

"Since you think this math question is very skillful, can you estimate your score?" After the female reporter asked this, everyone stared at Chen Yuan, who was walking, wanting to know what kind of expectation such a top scorer candidate would give his score.

Since it was him, any hesitation would indicate that it wasn't a perfect score.

Sure enough, he didn't answer directly.

It seemed that even Chen Yuan couldn't get a perfect score in this super-difficult problem.

"Although the question setter is very strong."

Just as everyone thought this, Chen Yuan pointed his finger lightly at the camera, like Itachi Uchiha's last move to Sasuke, and said calmly and confidently, "But I am one step ahead."
