Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Exclusive
After Yuan Mingxu left, Lin Yimu also left the examination room. He originally wanted to find a cool place to read, but when he passed by the classroom office, he met the math teacher who was about to come out.
"Lin Yimu? Have you finished and handed in the paper?" The math teacher looked at Lin Yimu in surprise and asked.
Lin Yimu looked at the surprised expression on the math teacher's face and sighed quietly. It seemed that he had to give up reading now.
Although he thought so, Lin Yimu still said: "Teacher, I have finished the exam for a while. The first test paper of the rematch did not seem to be difficult, and was even not as difficult as the preliminary round. Teacher, why is this?" In the end, Lin Yimu couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart out of curiosity.
The math teacher looked at Lin Yimu, shook his head with amusement and said, "Don't be too proud, kid. The first test of the rematch is not difficult, but the second test is not that simple. Otherwise, the first and second tests would not be so troublesome."
"Got it, teacher, don't worry, I will definitely not be careless."
As soon as Lin Yimu finished speaking, Huang Minglei's voice came from behind him.
"Lin Yimu, so you've come out? Teacher Zhou, you're here too?" Huang Minglei said as he walked towards the two of them.
The math teacher saw Huang Minglei coming over, nodded, and asked with a concerned smile: "You didn't come earlier than Lin Yimu this time? How did you do on the test?"
Huang Minglei smiled confidently and said, "Teacher, don't worry, there will be no problem. The test questions this time are quite simple. In comparison, I feel that the preliminary round is a bit more difficult."
"You two, the preliminary round was difficult because of that additional question. There is another exam in the rematch. Don't be careless because of your pride. Generally speaking, if the first test is too easy, the second test will be more difficult." The math teacher shook his head helplessly and reminded.
"Don't worry, teacher. There will be no problem. I have been catching up with Lin Yimu recently. Although I haven't seen elementary number theory yet, I am already studying advanced mathematics and linear algebra." Huang Minglei assured seriously and firmly.
The math teacher nodded with relief when he heard this, then he remembered Mo Shanshan who was in the same examination room with Huang Minglei, and frowned with some worry, "Huang Minglei, you and Mo Shanshan are in the same examination room, how is he?"
Huang Minglei recalled Mo Shanshan's situation, "When I came out, she seemed to be still working on the questions, and she looked a little nervous. As for how well she was doing, I don't know."
Because the examination rooms for the semi-finals were randomly assigned, Lin Yimu and Mo Shanshan were assigned to the same examination room this time. Lin Yimu only found out about this because Mo Shanshan entered the room almost at the same time as the teacher.
When the math teacher heard that Mo Shanshan was very nervous, he sighed worriedly and said, "Mo Shanshan didn't do well in the last preliminary round, so it's inevitable that she's a little nervous this time. I hope she can keep calm and perform well."
Although he said this, he did not have much hope in his heart. Although Huang Minglei and Lin Yimu both said that the content of the first test was simple, this was only for the two of them. Moreover, even if it was really simple, there would still be a second test. According to the question setting patterns of previous years, if the first test was too simple, the questions in the second test would be much more difficult.
The math teacher had great confidence in Mo Shanshan before, but since the results of the last preliminary competition came out, the math teacher also paid attention to Mo Shanshan's learning situation.
Although I have worked very hard, I have fallen behind a lot. Now I have to face the situation of double tests in the rematch. It may be a bit difficult to get the third place in the province this time. I hope it won’t be too much of a blow and affect my mentality.
"There shouldn't be any problem. After all, I've been giving her extra lessons recently. And although the difficulty has increased overall this time, it can be done with high school math knowledge. She will definitely have no problem." Lin Yimu saw that the math teacher frowned when he mentioned Mo Shanshan, and immediately spoke out to comfort her.
Although it was just consolation, what Lin Yimu said was also true. Based on Lin Yimu's understanding of Mo Shanshan's learning progress, there would be no problem for her to enter the finals with those math problems.
Of course the math teacher knew that Lin Yimu and the other two had tutored Mo Shanshan before. Seeing that the two of them were still calm and looked normal, he felt a little relieved.
However, he was still a little worried about math because he didn't know what the test questions would be. According to Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, it was very simple, but the math teacher found it a little unbelievable.
After all, these two people have no idea about their own grades and the knowledge they have mastered. They always think that the questions that they think are simple should not be too difficult for others.
Thinking of this, the math teacher gave a helpless smile, looked at his two most proud students in front of him and said, "I can only believe half of what you two say. If we look at the test paper according to your requirements, then everyone can get full marks. But I don't think about how many students are like you two who are already studying elementary number theory and linear algebra now." As he said this, he glanced at the books in the hands of the two.
Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei followed the teacher's line of sight and saw the books in their hands. Huang Minglei had been praised for his excellence since he was a child, so he probably understood what the teacher meant and smiled a little embarrassedly.
However, Lin Yimu has always considered himself a poor student since he was a child. In addition, there are many poor students around him, and even the adults in his family say that he has bad grades.
So even though he has become a bona fide academic master or even a genius, because he has rivals like Huang Minglei around him, he does not have the awareness that he is very good. He does not understand what the math teacher says at all and even looks confused.
"Teacher, I don't want to study elementary number theory either. I'm almost crying." He sighed helplessly.
When he was studying advanced mathematics before, he felt that it was not difficult to learn by reading books. However, when he was studying elementary number theory now, Lin Yimu found that he was back to the state of being confused before the system stimulated his brain.
Of course, it is better now than it was then, but it still takes several days to barely understand a piece of knowledge.
Seeing Lin Yimu's expression change from unchanged just now to sighing now, Huang Minglei asked curiously: "Is number theory really that difficult? It makes you, a guy who learns by leaps and bounds, look so worried?"
Lin Yimu nodded and said, "Yes, it takes me two or three days to fully understand a piece of knowledge."
However, Huang Minglei was speechless for a moment after hearing this, then looked at him with some disdain and said, "You guy! I suspect you are just being pretentious! Do you know how difficult it is to thoroughly understand a point in mathematics? You are really amazing in just two or three days."
Even the math teacher standing next to him looked at Lin Yimu helplessly, and after a long while he said, "Lin Yimu, Huang Minglei is right, but I didn't expect you to start elementary number theory now. Your current learning progress really makes me, as a teacher, jealous."
After listening to what the two said, Lin Yimu quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm really not a Falsai. I really feel that number theory is much more difficult than advanced mathematics. I haven't even finished the first unit yet."
Lin Yimu sighed and continued, "Actually, I really think number theory is difficult to learn. I don't quite understand many of the knowledge points." At this point, Lin Yimu suddenly thought of something and looked at the math teacher with bright eyes, "Teacher, can I come to you often to ask questions in the future? It's about number theory."
The math teacher looked at Lin Yimu with amusement and nodded at him, saying, "You, I used to explain problems to you often. If you have any difficult problems in the future, just come to my office. If I'm not here, you can continue to go to Director Chen."
"I understand. Thank you, teacher." Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei thanked the math teacher.
While the three were talking, more and more students started to fill up the teaching building. Many of them had finished their exams and walked out of the examination room. They began to gather in groups of three or four to discuss the exam questions. Some said they were easy while others complained about how difficult the questions were.
"Why do the questions in the first test of this rematch feel even less difficult than those in the preliminary round? Aren't they all waiting for me on the second test paper?"
"No? I think the questions are more difficult than those in the preliminary round. Only the supplementary questions are not as difficult as those in the preliminary round."
"I feel like I might be in trouble this time. I still haven't finished the additional questions. I always feel like I don't have enough time."
"Hey, look at those two people over there. I noticed them before. They have been out for a long time. I guess they handed in their papers early because the questions were too easy?" A student suddenly pointed in the direction of Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei.
The student who was talking to the other party looked in the direction he pointed. When he saw Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, he said with a look of enlightenment: "It's normal for them. After all, they are more powerful than the academic gods. It's normal for them to hand in their papers early."
Hearing this, the boy asked curiously, "Are these two really that powerful?"
"Yes, they are the two academic geniuses from Yancheng No. 1 High School. They tied for first place in the preliminary round and beat out Ke Chengyan, the academic genius from No. 2 High School who is known for his competition. Especially Lin Yimu. You must know him, right? It was less than a month after the online exam a while ago."
"I heard that he didn't want to study hard and only wanted to play, so his grades were always mediocre. But after coming back from the talent show, he suddenly came to his senses and was able to participate in the math competition in less than a month..." The students who knew the details told their companions about the various rumors and gossips about Lin Yimu with a gossipy look on their faces.
The central characters of discussion, Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, planned to find a place to read books together and check answers after saying goodbye to their teacher.
The two looked around the school but couldn't find a suitable place. Finally, they went to the laboratory building behind the teaching building and found an empty classroom.
But as soon as the two of them entered, they found that there was already someone in the classroom. The other person was sleeping with his back to the door, lying on the table and a pile of experimental props.
