Chapter 31 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
"How did she learn? She's progressed so quickly!"
"She made progress quietly and kept it so well hidden. She has the ability, so why did she only get those rankings in the provincial league?"
The group couldn't figure it out until Pei Zhuxuan cautiously raised her hand, "I know she's very busy every day. Besides biology class, she's not in the dormitory for the other half of the day."
Pei Zhuxuan is Lin Wei's roommate at the provincial base.
Because of these words, some people suspected that she might be receiving extra tutoring outside of school, since bribing coaches wasn't uncommon in previous years. But even if she did bribe someone, so what? If it's not her ability, then it's not her ability; it will be exposed during the final competition anyway.
However, since the matter was not yet settled, no one labeled her until two days later, when someone saw her walk into the physics training class and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Hey, do you know that girl?" Xu Kangtai grabbed a classmate from the physics competition class and asked. Sun Su glanced at the person he was pointing to and replied casually, "Of course I know her. She's in our class. How could I not know her?"
Lin Wei performed quite well in the physics competition class, and was one of the few who got full marks. It would be hard for Sun Su not to know her.
This is a realistic situation. Talented people are easily noticed. In their eyes, while being beautiful is pleasing to the eye, the most important thing during student days is studying and getting good grades. She may not get attention just because she is beautiful, but she will definitely not be ignored if she gets good grades.
After all, who can ignore competitors and those they are trying to catch up with?
Xu Kangtai looked dazed upon hearing this. "Someone from your class?" he asked, his voice still tinged with disbelief. "She's from our biology class. How did she become someone from your physics class?"
This surprised Sun Su. "No way, your biology class is too shameless. Even if you're short of people, you can't just poach them like this. When did the people from our physics class become your people?" The two started arguing about this.
This concerns the dignity of the class.
The physics coach arrived at the door and saw them arguing. After understanding why they were arguing, he walked over and said, "Didn't you consider that she's a student in both the biology and physics classes?" Who says someone can't be in two subjects at the same time? To be honest, when I said that, I felt like I was the only one who was sober in a world of fools.
Young people, you're still young, what's there to argue about?
When the physics coach entered the classroom, the two men were still staring at each other in disbelief. "Two subjects?" They had considered who was lying, but they had never considered this possibility.
This is unbelievable.
Because of this, Xu Kangtai quickly went back and told the others the news. No wonder she could improve so quickly; it turns out she had the ability. Who would have thought she would be shortlisted for two competitions? It's unbelievable.
Lin Wei was unaware that because of this incident, she would be regarded as a prodigy by students from both classes. After all, she was the only one in several years to be selected for the provincial team in two subjects. What was even more remarkable was that she could excel in both subjects simultaneously—that was the most astonishing part. If she had only focused on one subject, wouldn't she have been number one in biology by now?
It has to be said that their guesses were a bit exaggerated. Although Lin Wei has made significant progress recently, she is still a complete novice. She can't even understand the lessons that are being taught to her. What is there to be proud of?
However, it was somewhat accidental. The biology curriculum for second-year high school students was too difficult and incomprehensible, which is why she hadn't made a breakthrough. But the knowledge gained from those academic papers indirectly brought her knowledge level back to the original second-year curriculum, which is why she was able to improve. Because what she was learning was exactly what students her age should be learning.
And so, the day of the preliminary round finally arrived. Unlike her previous nervousness, Lin Wei was now able to face the upcoming exam with remarkable calm. With a certain level of ability, it was hard not to be confident.
She had always been first in physics, even if she tied for first place with others, it was still first. As for biology, eighth place was enough, since the preliminary round wouldn't eliminate that many people at once, so she wasn't surprised when the results came out.
She got a perfect score in physics again this time. To be honest, she might be even better at physics than math. As for biology, she didn't get a perfect score, but she improved by two places and moved up to sixth.
At this rate, she might actually be able to make a comeback and take first place before the finals.
The five people ahead of her couldn't help but feel a little pressured, mainly because she was improving too fast, and her scores would rise with each exam. At this rate, unless they could consistently get full marks, they would all be overtaken by her sooner or later.
Because of this, a group of people gave Lin Wei a resentful look. Why was she working so hard? Couldn't she take a break? Even Zhang Mo could hear these comments, since he lived with his classmates from the biology class.
Hearing him say, "Lin Wei in your class is too abnormal. Doesn't she ever get tired? She's either reading a paper or studying the textbook the biology coach gave her. She seems like she never gets tired. It's terrifying," Zhang Mo nodded to himself. He thought so too.
But sometimes I can understand her efforts. Zhang Mo only found out by chance that her family was from a poor village in a remote area, her aunt worked as a nanny in S City, and her parents were ordinary farmers without stable jobs. To be honest, under such circumstances, it is already very impressive that she has achieved what she has today.
Effort is never shameful; on the contrary, it is admirable. Given her circumstances, could he have turned the tables? Zhang Mo couldn't guarantee he could, or rather, he lacked the confidence.
Because no one can be a second Lin Wei, and there are no two paths in this world that are the same. Success cannot be replicated, so he cannot do it.
And so, after the preliminary rounds, 15 students from the physics competition class were eliminated, leaving 27. Similarly, 15 students from the biology competition class were eliminated, leaving only 24. The number of participants decreased significantly.
Lin Wei watched as those people packed their bags and left in tears. She felt a strange mix of emotions. She wasn't really familiar with these people, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss. If nothing unexpected happened, they would only meet once in their lives.
At that moment, she was also relieved that she wouldn't become one of these people, and of course, she wouldn't allow herself to become one of them. So after watching for a while, she went back to studying.
Her goal this time was clear: to reach first place before the finals. Having already reached this point, why not let her achievement conclude perfectly?
So in the following exams, Lin Wei's scores improved at a steady pace: fifth place, fourth place, third place. Just when everyone thought she would get second place next, her ranking stopped.
Seeing her firmly secured third place and her score, the person who had consistently held second place since the start of the competition visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but not entirely. He knew it was only a matter of time before she surpassed him.
This is something that is hard to accept, but under the overwhelming force and overwhelming power, no one questions it.
She was so fierce that it made it impossible for anyone to even think about competing with her. There were so many people in the competition class, all of whom were the pride of their respective schools, but at this moment, they all became her foils.
A group of people looked at the girl sitting in the front seats and gave a wry smile. It turns out that there really are some people who can be like stars, and as soon as they appear, everyone's eyes are on them.
But what about her? Will she even notice those she once surpassed? No, because losers don't deserve to be remembered.
Lin Wei felt that she had read enough papers, so she entered the system space to start studying high school biology again.
However, instead of learning from the first chapter, I glanced at the chapter titles that I was relatively familiar with and started learning from them.
This time, she could clearly feel that the sluggishness had lessened. Although there were still some difficulties in understanding, it was still within an acceptable range.
At this point, she finally realized where her problem lay: she hadn't read enough, hadn't learned enough, and her foundation wasn't solid enough. In fact, at this moment, she could vaguely sense that something was wrong, but her trust in the system space still outweighed everything else.
How could there be an error in the system space? If she wasn't learning high school sophomore material, then what was she learning?
Because of this, she once again missed the truth. This time, it took her nearly ten days to comprehend the content of a single chapter, which is equivalent to thirty hours in the outside world and over ten years in the system space.
Ten years! No wonder she couldn't learn it no matter how hard she tried. After Lin Wei finished studying one chapter, she had even more doubts about the system space. Is this really high school level knowledge?
But despite the doubts, the desire to conquer it only grew stronger.
Her intuition told her that this was where she could find what she wanted. Hadn't she always wanted to study biology? If there was something here that could make her stronger, why not learn it? It was precisely because it was difficult to learn that it proved the profoundness and value of this knowledge.
At this moment, Lin Wei was also glad that she had discovered this at this time. If it had been before, she might have hesitated about whether to continue down this path. After all, there was a more convenient path in front of her, physics and mathematics, and no one would choose a more winding and circuitous one.
Now, she is even more convinced of the path she wants to learn, and she continues to move firmly in that direction.
Finally, after she finished studying that chapter, the provincial team finals arrived. Perhaps due to a complete change in her mindset, Lin Wei no longer looked at the questions on the test paper with the mindset of solving problems, but with a critical and analytical eye.
That feeling of being outclassed is incredibly captivating, and that's the change that ten years of study brought her—no, not just the ten years of study, but the result of mastering that one chapter.
She couldn't imagine how her strength would change once she had mastered all the chapters.
But there was one thing she knew: she would win first place in this final, her only first place.
Because the content of this final was significantly more difficult than all the previous competitions, Lin Wei knew everyone's strength, so she was even more certain that no one but her would win first place.
Indeed, when everyone saw the test questions, they were all stunned. They certainly knew the knowledge they had learned, but they couldn't possibly make up something they hadn't learned, could they?
So, whenever they encountered a question they didn't know, a group of people would either leave it blank or just make up some random answer. It's true that if they didn't know the answer, the others probably wouldn't either, so they could focus on getting the answers right on other questions.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the simplest question has become the key to determining the winner.
This was indeed the idea behind the questions set by the person who created them, but he didn't expect that someone would actually get a perfect score. When Lin Wei's score appeared on the grading panel, everyone praised the paper highly.
"I haven't seen such a beautiful exam paper in a long time. It seems there are still talented people in the province."
"If she doesn't make it into the national team, I'll start to suspect something's fishy." You could say the questions in this final round were incredibly difficult, designed to be impossible for them, but she managed to solve them. Isn't that surprising?
