Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Exclusive
Those who came to participate in the training camp were all the best in the competition. On the first day of formal classes, everyone consciously entered the classroom early and was ready to attend the class with full energy.
So when Professor Jiang walked into the classroom with the test paper in his hand, what he saw were many energetic young faces. This made Professor Jiang very satisfied. After all, it was the first day of the training camp, and he didn't want to teach a group of students who were listless and not serious about learning. Of course, such students would definitely not pass the selection for the training team.
Although Professor Jiang was satisfied in his heart, he looked serious as he looked at the students below the stage and said, "I believe you have all seen the class schedule for the training team. Today is my number theory class all day long. Before we start the class, let's do a test to test your number theory level." As he said that, Professor Jiang distributed the test papers one by one.
After handing out the test papers, he did not give any extra instructions, but started patrolling the classroom without saying a word.
For Professor Jiang, the test is just a way to check everyone's knowledge level of number theory, and it is not a formal examination. Therefore, he believes that these outstanding students selected from various provinces will not be confused about such things, and the students who can pass the competition and enter the national training team have good grades and are proud of themselves.
The students did not disappoint Professor Jiang. Although they were shocked by his serious and concise style, and even somewhat disliked the teacher's repeated instructions on procedures, they were all very conscientious in doing their own test papers. There was no noise in the classroom except the rustling sound of writing and the footsteps of Professor Jiang as he inspected the class.
Lin Yimu was not worried about the contents of the test paper at all, so when the test paper was handed out, he checked it once as usual to see if there were any omissions, and then began to write on the test paper with his pen tip very quickly, without even stopping at the speed of calculating on the draft paper.
So when Lin Yi Mu quickly turned the pages of the test paper, the students who were still working on the first page heard the noise and looked in his direction. After seeing that it was the monster Lin Yi Mu, they lowered their heads with a wooden look on their faces and continued to work on their own test papers.
In his heart, he was cursing himself for doing this in vain. In this training team, apart from the monster Lin Yimu, no one else could solve the problems at such a fast speed. What were they curious about? They should have guessed it long ago.
Lin Yimu certainly didn't know what was going on in everyone's mind, but was doing the questions at his usual pace. It was just because these exercises were too common and simple for him and didn't require a lot of calculations. He could get the results just by calculating in his mind, so he appeared to be very fast.
Professor Jiang, who had been patrolling the classroom, showed no sign of satisfaction or dissatisfaction when he saw Lin Yimu quickly turning the pages. He just walked casually to Lin Yimu and watched him quietly as he worked on the questions smoothly.
As for Lin Yimu, the student who solved the mathematical conjecture, all the professors felt that he did not need to attend the training camp at all. They even thought that he could come to the training team to be a teacher to these students.
As for why Lin Yi Mu was still arranged to attend the class, in addition to the fact that they felt it would not affect everyone's mentality, the people above wanted these professors to give Lin Yi Mu special lessons and let Lin Yi Mu sort out his knowledge systematically. Although this would be unfair to other students participating in the training camp, thinking of Lin Yi Mu's tasks and task rewards, the people above gritted their teeth and did it. This is why it is said that the people above attach great importance to this IMO competition.
However, they did not expect Lin Yimu’s learning progress to be so fast, and the well-intentioned arrangements became redundant, forcing Lin Yimu to spend more time and even teach students.
After Lin Yimu handed in his test paper, Professor Jiang asked Lin Yimu to read the book first, while he continued to patrol the class. Two hours later, Professor Jiang clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "Okay, everyone can hand in your test papers now. No matter if you have finished or know how to do it, you must hand in your test papers now. Don't worry, this exam is just to check your number theory level and it has no other use."
After hearing Professor Jiang's words, some students who had only a superficial understanding of number theory and had not even finished half of the questions, breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were all top students, there were differences between top students.
Some students who entered the training team by just barely passing the selection line or with very low rankings have only a vague knowledge of number theory, and they are lucky to be able to pass the selection and enter the training team. After all, the score difference between the rankings is only one or two points or even smaller. Just because you can enter the training team by just barely passing the selection line does not necessarily mean that you can stay in the training team forever.
So this is also the reason why everyone is worried about the ranking of this exam, because the questions asked by Professor Jiang are much more difficult than those in the competition, and also because no one is well prepared.
Professor Jiang sorted out the test papers that everyone handed in. He didn't say he would mark them right away. Instead, he looked at the time and said, "It's still a little early before lunch, so you can relax for a while. If you want to go to the bathroom, you can go. When we come back, we'll talk about the definition of elementary number theory, its main contents, and some simple number theory questions."
The students in the audience had just finished an exam. Although they relaxed when they heard the professor say that it would not be counted in the ranking, when they heard Professor Jiang's words, even those who originally did not want to go to the bathroom could not help but start running out. In any case, going to the bathroom to adjust their mentality would allow them to concentrate better in class afterwards and not keep thinking about the test paper.
Lin Yimu was not nervous and did not want to go to the bathroom, but he thought about the fact that he still had about an hour of class to go, so he took Huang Minglei and the others to the bathroom.
Just as they walked into the restroom, they heard a boy say in a sour tone: "I don't know why Lin Yimu is so proud. Didn't he just solve a math conjecture? So what if he can solve the problems quickly? He still has to sit in the classroom and listen to the class like the rest of us."
At this time, another boy spoke up, "That's right, I just can't stand his aloof attitude, as if he is so great just because he has good grades. He always hands in the paper first, I don't know what he is showing off. Everyone in this training team has good grades, he is just slightly better than us, even though he solved the math conjecture, he didn't get any reward, and now he is still attending class with us, and he was indifferent when we greeted him before, only Huang Minglei and a few others flatter him!"
"Huang Minglei and the others are all from Yancheng with Lin Yimu. Besides, Lin Yimu has good grades and can help them. As for the others, even we have to welcome them with a smile and flatter them. Otherwise, who would care about him with his cold look?" The boy from before continued to speak indignantly.
Lin Yimu and the other three who were standing at the corner of the toilet all looked unhappy when they heard what the two boys said. Huang Minglei and Yuan Mingxu even glared at the two boys with anger on their faces. If Ke Chengyan and Lin Yimu hadn't held them back, they would have probably rushed up to fight with them.
Lin Yi Mu himself looked at the two boys who were talking by the sink in the bathroom with a cold expression. Lin Yi Mu didn't know them, but they looked familiar. After all, they were in the same class and would inevitably meet each other. But because of Lin Yi Mu's personality, he was not familiar with many of them. In addition, they were all wearing training team clothes, so he couldn't tell which province or school they were from.
Although Lin Yimu didn't take other people's slander to heart, he really hated the two-faced people who said bad things about you behind your back but still greeted you with a smile during the day. So he pulled Huang Minglei and Yuan Mingxu and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. If you go up to argue with them, you won't be right. Maybe they will even blame you for it."
"That's all, let's just leave it at that. Listen to what they say. Just because their own grades are not good, they slander others. Who are they trying to disgust with their sour remarks?" Huang Minglei replied in a low voice with a frown and an unhappy look on his face.
Even Yuan Mingxu and Ke Chengyan, although neither of them said a word, their eyes expressed the same meaning, they both wanted to teach those two a lesson.
Lin Yimu looked at the three people who were angry with him, smiled good-naturedly, took out the phone in his pocket and said, "Although I am very happy that you can think of me, I want to solve this matter by myself. You just need to stand behind me and support me."
The three of them frowned even deeper when they heard this, looking at Lin Yimu with an unhappy look on their faces. Then Huang Minglei asked again, "What do you mean by that? Don't you treat us as brothers?"
"How could that be possible? You are the best friends I have ever made. How could I not treat you as brothers?" Lin Yimu smiled and comforted the three people. Then he said in a serious tone: "I just want to vent my anger. After all, I don't have a good temper when someone is thinking of using me while slandering me behind my back." Lin Yimu shook the phone in his hand as he spoke.
The three of them then turned their attention to the mobile phone that Lin Yimu took out. They didn't understand what he was doing with the phone. Was he taking pictures of the two people as evidence?
Lin Yi Mu lit up the phone interface and placed it in front of the three people. Only then did they understand Lin Yi Mu's intention of fiddling with the phone.
I saw that Lin Yimu’s mobile phone page was displaying a red round button with four words on it: Recording.
It turned out that after Lin Yimu heard the conversation between the two boys in the bathroom, although he was very annoyed, he immediately turned on the recording function of his mobile phone.
Although he couldn't do anything with this recording, when the two men asked him questions in the future, he would have something to say, and he could even avenge today's revenge. Although he knew that it was not good to hold grudges because of a few words from others, who could blame him for being petty sometimes?
What's more, he was being used and scolded by others. Even though Lin Yimu's temper had been tempered by what happened in his previous life, it didn't mean that he was a soft persimmon. He would not hold grudges and help others solve problems even if they were scolded.
After seeing Lin Yimu's phone, Huang Minglei and the other two gave Lin Yimu a thumbs up. Finally, Yuan Mingxu asked curiously, "What are you going to do after recording?"
Lin Yimu smiled mysteriously when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to them. I just want them to feel how difficult math is. I won't help them with the questions in private. After all, we are competitors, aren't we?"
The three of them immediately understood what Lin Yimu meant when they heard this, and they looked at him with a hint of surprise.
"I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that you, Lin Yimu, could be so mean sometimes." Yuan Mingxu looked Lin Yimu up and down and said in amazement.
"I really didn't expect it!" Huang Minglei and Ke Chengyan looked at Lin Yimu and said in unison.
Lin Yimu looked at the performance of the three people with some amusement, rolled his eyes without caring about his image, and was about to speak when a boy's sneer was heard from the bathroom again.
