Chapter 25 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
The registration here doesn't refer to math, but to other subjects. Anyway, there's no rule that says a person can only register for one, or that participating in the winter camp means they can't register for other leagues.
So Lin Wei made a snap decision and enrolled in physics. Regardless of whether she could pass the exam, she decided to enroll first and think about it later. She would stick to her previous approach: if she did well, she would take the exam; if she didn't, she wouldn't. After all, she had math as a backup, so it wouldn't matter if she didn't make it to the next round.
With this in mind, her gaze shifted downwards and landed on biology. "How about we report this too?" she asked, her expression showing a hint of eagerness.
Since she'd already signed up for one, adding another wouldn't hurt, so she pressed the button anyway. Although she regretted it a moment later, after checking the registration page, she didn't cancel.
Maybe she can do it?
Fortunately, no one saw what she did, otherwise they would have thought she was crazy. Most people would struggle to sign up for one, but she was planning to prepare for three. Only someone with a lot of self-confidence would do something like that.
However, Lin Wei wasn't confident; she just felt that it was better to apply than not to apply, and what if she got lucky?
Of course, a few days later, she paid the price for her wishful thinking.
"My head hurts, my brain hurts, everything hurts! I don't know who invented such a crazy subject." Lin Wei felt like her brain couldn't keep up. She had struggled so much with biology before, but she still didn't learn her lesson and insisted on suffering like this.
She can't even handle high school biology, so where does she get the confidence to pass this national biology exam?
Can you imagine? She hears a word and has to go online to look it up.
Is it that her memory is too bad, or that she learned this knowledge in junior high school but just forgot it?
Unfortunately, Lin Wei couldn't remember anything she had learned in junior high school biology no matter how hard she tried. She wasn't very good at it, and only put in a little effort to prepare for the monthly exam in her second year. What could she possibly have learned from that? However, because she didn't want to go through all the material from junior high again, she still hadn't realized that there was anything wrong with what she had learned.
Zhou Xueqing was fortunate enough to walk past her and catch a glimpse. When she saw the densely packed notes and incomprehensible words and letters, she was so shocked that she was speechless.
Is high school biology really that difficult? She didn't know that she had signed up for the National Biology Competition, but she did know that she was studying biology from the first and second years of high school. She was still struggling with what to choose when she had to choose her major, but now she had completely given up on biology.
At this level of difficulty, even if the answer were right in front of her, she wouldn't copy it. It was somewhat ironic, but Zhou Xueqing was telling the truth.
Because of this, her cousin, who was a high school sophomore and chose biology, was praised by her, while the person being praised looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Huh, cytotoxicity, near-lunar point, amide? Did you learn these things in high school? Why does the biology she's talking about seem a bit different from what she learned?
Because of this, Zhou's cousin secretly went to search for what those things meant, but that's another story. As for Lin Wei, she knew nothing about it anyway.
She now dedicates half her time to biology, half her time to physics, and a little time from physics to reflect on mathematics, perfectly managing to keep her days fully occupied.
Even so, her sense of urgency only increased. It wasn't a matter of having more or less time, but rather that she didn't know how to overcome the hurdles in front of her.
She lacks flexible and adaptable thinking skills in mathematics. While she's almost finished with physics, she hasn't encountered any competition-level knowledge, which needs improvement. As for biology, it has now become her top priority. These three subjects combined create an immense amount of pressure.
Especially at this time, her homeroom teacher also approached her.
"Lin Wei, I know you're good at physics and biology, but the most important thing right now is to prepare for the upcoming math winter camp. Being greedy and not chewing your food isn't a good thing." After all, she participated under the school's name, so how could they not know that she had signed up for two competitions? Even her homeroom teacher didn't expect her to be so bold.
Getting a spot in the math winter camp is already a huge achievement, but she's even aiming for the other two subjects as well. Three subjects! I've never seen anyone prepare for all three at once. How can she manage?
Lin Wei understood what she meant, and even lacked confidence in herself. However, she still looked at her homeroom teacher and said, "Teacher, I still want to give it a try." How could she know how far she could grow if she didn't push herself? Wasn't she the one who pushed herself to get to where she is today?
Because she was too persistent, her homeroom teacher eventually gave in and said, "Then you need to weigh the time. No matter what, you have to keep at least one subject." In her opinion, keeping math was the most worthwhile and the most likely thing to do.
However, since she wants to participate in biology and physics competitions, she can help her find some information.
Because of this, Zhang Mo quickly learned that she was going to participate in the physics competition, which, to be honest, surprised him a little.
Three subjects! That's not just one or two. Most people can't even handle regular school exams, and she's dealing with competitions—national competitions! Even though Zhang Mo considers herself quite good at math and biology, she wouldn't dare sign up for three subjects like that.
He was a little confused. She had already registered for three subjects, so why didn't she just register for five? Was it because she was more confident about those three subjects?
Fang Yihuai, who had previously challenged Lin Wei to a duel, immediately conceded defeat upon hearing this. It wasn't that she was timid or lacked confidence; she was clearly overconfident. In that respect, he was no match for her.
At the same time, a sliver of anticipation arose within him, hoping her physics and biology competition results would amaze everyone. If it were anyone else, he would simply think it was wishful thinking, a blatant disregard for their own abilities. But with Lin Wei, he still hadn't quite grasped her potential.
But it has to be said that after everyone found out about this, some people were pessimistic, while others hoped that she could pull off another miracle. When Lin Wei found out, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's too difficult."
She's spending every day pulling her hair out. She originally just wanted to test herself, but now that they've messed things up, she can't avoid taking the exam even if she wants to.
It's easy to imagine what people would say about her behind her back if she didn't win a prize this time. Would they say she's all talk and no action? Arrogant? Maybe she's just being petty and judging others by her own standards. That's what she thinks.
How could someone who always values others' opinions and strives to protect their reputation allow this to happen? Even if they don't qualify for both subjects, they should at least pass one of the physics or biology competitions.
Following this goal, Lin Wei decided to stop studying biology and focus on mastering physics first. At this point, the materials that the homeroom teachers had obtained from Zhang Mo came in very handy.
She looked at the questions, and although they were a bit difficult, she figured she could solve them if given time. At that moment, Lin Wei started thinking about what exactly thinking was.
Why are her steps and answers almost identical when solving physics problems, but completely different when solving math problems? Is it possible that they differ by subject?
She played with the Rubik's Cube she'd borrowed from Zhou Xueqing, pondering as she worked. Since human thinking abilities aren't fixed at birth, they can be changed. So how? Looking at the Rubik's Cube in her hand, four words flashed through her mind: brain teasers?
But the thought vanished the next second. If only it could make you smarter! But these things are invisible and intangible, too abstract. It would be great if there were a measurable indicator. However, despite these thoughts, I didn't give up on playing with the Rubik's Cube. I was basically thinking about a physics competition problem while looking at the Rubik's Cube, and my hands started moving on their own.
Believe it or not, it's slow at first, but once you understand the rules of the Rubik's Cube, it becomes easy.
Sometimes Lin Wei doesn't even need to think; her hands move faster than her brain.
Zhou Xueqing looked at the Rubik's Cube that she hadn't been able to solve in two days, but which she solved in a flash, even scrambling it more than before. She continued to work on it and exclaimed again, "Are all geniuses like this?"
Not only can I not compete with others in academics, but I can't even compete with them in play.
In particular, Lin Wei's eyes were unfocused, and her mind was nowhere to be found; this was the most terrifying thing.
It was only when she was sitting there quietly, head down in thought, that Zhou Xueqing looked at her deskmate and roommate so seriously for the first time.
When she's not speaking or thinking, she exudes an aloofness that keeps people at arm's length. Perhaps it's the aura of a top student that's so captivating. She's seen many beautiful girls, but few give off such a strong impression, as if they're from different worlds.
However, Lin Wei soon seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face, a smile as bright and dazzling as the sun.
"I've figured it out! I've figured out why the difference between physics and mathematics is so big!" She suddenly stood up from her seat excitedly. "It's not that physics no longer needs competition methods, but that my thinking has been subtly changing. My efforts these past few days haven't been in vain, they've just been slow to show results. The most obvious manifestation of this is in physics. So on the surface, I still have the same way of thinking, but in reality, it's enough for physics, only not enough for mathematics." A whole bunch of words came out of her mouth in a rapid-fire, excited stream.
As Lin Wei spoke, her thoughts became clearer. She had been worried about the upcoming winter camp, but now her confidence soared. As long as she continued to use her previous problem-solving approach, it was only a matter of time before she could change her mindset.
Zhou Xueqing only heard her mutter a long sentence to herself, her eyes shining brightly, before she took the books on the table and went to the library. Before leaving, she told her that she would be back late and to remember to leave the door open for her.
They didn't react for a long time.
Huh? Math? Physics? Because Lin Wei spoke too fast, she didn't hear a word clearly, and even after Lin Wei disappeared, she still didn't understand what she knew.
