Chapter 33 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 33
Yes, it's about value. Some people need a spot in the training camp to secure a place in a university, but he doesn't need that, because many schools are eager to recruit him.
This brings us to his latest SCI paper, which directly identified X cells, a type of cell never before discovered in the field of biology. These X cells do not refer to pluripotent cells or immune cells, but rather to a cell type that differs from those found in reality. They are X-shaped, and their internal structure is also significantly different from that of ordinary cells.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he discovered that this X cell has a very strong regenerative ability, but it seems to be suppressed in the human body, resulting in its presence being negligible.
If its existence can be utilized, it seems that it can be used to do many things.
Thinking of this, Chi Boyan couldn't wait to use Professor Dou's laboratory to carry out his research.
This final round was difficult, but only for ordinary people. He only glanced at it a few times before he could write smoothly without any pause in his thinking. On the other hand, Lin Wei was no different. She found that since she learned the chapter on "Second Year Biology", she was incredibly strong. It was as if she could answer any question. She didn't even need to think; the answers just flowed out like a spring of inspiration.
Lin Wei's answer sheet kept getting longer and longer until she realized she had written too much. A hint of hesitation crossed her face. Should she continue writing? In reality, she felt that this amount of writing was enough to get her into the national training team. However, driven by her perfectionism and a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder, she ultimately asked the teacher for a few more sheets of paper.
So, those in the same exam room saw her take several answer sheets and continue writing. Her classmates, who had spent time with Lin Wei in the provincial team, initially wanted to give up on the questions, but then became determined. It's strange, isn't it? On the one hand, they were both intimidated by her abilities, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but regard her as the backbone of their province.
It doesn't make sense that people from other provinces can advance to the national training team while they can't. So many people who originally shouldn't have made it to the finals did.
When the results came out a few days later, Lin Wei was not surprised by her score. She had worked so hard, and if she couldn't get a perfect score, she would have let down all the effort she had put in over the years in the system space.
On the other side, Chi Boyan looked at his score, his casual gaze suddenly stopping, because it wasn't the perfect score he expected, but 121 points. He almost thought he was seeing things. Although he hadn't written down all his insights, those were enough to get a perfect score in a competition.
But the facts were undeniable; he had no choice but to believe it. Someone had surpassed him and won first place, and the second-place finisher left him completely stunned.
Secondly, how long has it been since he came in second place, especially in his strongest area, biology? Although he told himself that he hadn't really lost, but that he had been careless, he was still a little curious about the first place winner. How much free time did she have to write so much nonsense?
Yes, he guessed why he only got 121 and why he lost five points. It was because someone gave a more complete answer. The five points were not because he made a mistake, but simply because Lin Wei wrote more than him.

Meanwhile, the person he had noted down was already preparing for the upcoming physics finals. However, it was clear that Lin Wei had become somewhat lax. Normally, she would be engrossed in studying countless books in the system space, but now she was playing games on Fang Yihuai's game console. She had only intended to play one game, but she couldn't resist playing several and even stayed up all night.
When she came out the next day with dark circles under her eyes, she said resentfully, "I suspect you're trying to corrupt my soul with games. I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore, I'll die if I keep playing."
Fang Yihuai looked at Zhang Mo and wondered, "Did I ask her to play? Why is everything my fault?" Even his accent had changed, and he started speaking in dialect.
Zhang Mo: "Because of you, I'm unlucky?" After saying this, he patted his shoulder, stood up, and left.
Fang Yihuai: "..."
Time flew by, with winter camps for physics and biology coming up one after another. By the time those two camps were over, winter break was almost over too.
When the Qin family was approached by Butler Xu, who asked, "Did your niece go back to her hometown for the New Year?" Lin Jinhui realized that she had forgotten something. Although it was a competition, did she have to participate in it for the entire winter break?
If not, where has she been staying these past few days? Because of this, she immediately called Lin Wei to ask where she was.
Lin Wei glanced at her current location. "I'm on my way to school. What's up, Auntie?" Why did you suddenly call her?
Lin Jinhui: "Tell me the truth, how long did you spend on training and competitions? I've never heard of someone spending an entire winter break on training and competitions."
Lin Wei wasn't going to lie to her, so she admitted, "Well, the training didn't last long, only about a month. Then I participated in quite a few competitions, which took about half a month. I stayed at a classmate's house for the other half of the time. Don't worry, it's a classmate I know, and one of the classmates I participated in the competition with." Here, she directly blurred the line between male and female classmates.
If her aunt knew she'd been staying at her male classmate's house these past few days, she'd know she'd nag her for ages. But what can she do? She's the hope of the Lin family.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wei looked at the two people beside her who hadn't dared to utter a sound since she answered the call, and scoffed softly.
Why does she seem even more timid than her?
Fang Yihuai remained silent. If his aunt found out that he had been staying at her place these past few days, what would he be considered? A kind-hearted male classmate or someone trying to seduce his niece? After all, when elders really become unreasonable, they are truly unreasonable.
Zhang Mo, too, hadn't forgotten that he was the one who pulled her back. After a while, Fang Yihuai still asked worriedly, "Won't your aunt go to the school to ask?" He didn't want his reputation to be ruined.
Lin Wei rolled her eyes at him. "No, don't worry. Even if they do find out, I won't betray you." There's nothing between them, so why is he so afraid? Lin Wei looked at him suspiciously.
When she arrived at school, the results of the last semester's final exams came out. As expected, she was still first in the grade, but Fang Yihuai's score was 0.5 points lower than hers, ranking second in the grade.
Lin Wei smiled when she found out. Although she didn't care much about ordinary exams anymore, she still felt a sense of pleasure in surpassing him.
This was the person she had wanted to surpass since the beginning of her schooling. Previously, their scores had been on par, but this was the first time she had surpassed him.
This surprised Fang Yihuai, but instead of dissatisfaction or disappointment, he smiled. Zhang Mo, seeing the smile on his face, asked curiously, "You've become second, why are you still smiling so happily?" He had been known as the eternal runner-up for a time, and now he was second.
Fang Yihuai shrugged. "I don't know, I just laughed." Being surpassed is a different kind of feeling. He looked at the leaderboard where someone else had appeared, replacing his previous number one spot, and said to the person beside him, "My name will be back next time."
This is confidence, and it reflects his self-assurance.
Zhang Mo raised an eyebrow. "Really? Don't be so sure." Why did he feel a little uneasy about it? But he was happy to watch the show anyway, since he was always second best, and first place had nothing to do with him.
This time, many unfamiliar faces appeared in the class; nearly a third of the students had been replaced by students from the regular classes. Zhou Xueqing, who had previously been Lin Wei's deskmate, was also moved to the regular class because she didn't rank in the top fifty of the grade.
Because of this, she ended up sitting next to Gao Fuya, and she was also one of the people who made it into the training team for this math competition. Hearing her praise herself, Lin Wei's lips curved into a smile, "Thank you, you're very good too."
Gao Fuya watched as her eyes crinkled with delight at the compliments, a smile appearing on her usually cool face. Sometimes she thought she was really cute. Why did she used to find her so annoying?
How bad can someone be who gets all puffed up and stares at you expectantly when praised, wanting you to keep praising them?
Meanwhile, the students in the regular class who had just entered Class 1 felt increasingly pressured as they looked around at unfamiliar faces, like a little lamb entering a pack of wolves, trying to blend in.
Of course, their efforts paid off. Soon, the older students from the original class introduced them to some of the more famous people in the class.
"That guy with big eyes, tall and handsome looks is called Fang Yihuai. He was always the top student in our grade, and this year he was promoted to the national mathematics training team."
"The person sitting next to him is Zhang Mo. He's a good student, second in his grade, and he made it into the national physics training team this year. And the pretty, aloof girl is Gao Fuya. She's in the top five of her grade, has participated in many English competitions and won many awards, and she also made it into the national mathematics training team this year."
"But the most amazing person in our class is the girl sitting next to her. Her name is Lin Wei. She has never fallen out of first place since entering school. This year, she participated in the Olympiads in three subjects and made it into the national training team for all three. We guess that she is very likely to represent the country in the international competition in the end."
This string of first-place finishes, competitions, Olympiads, and international exchanges seemed to transport this student from an ordinary class into a dreamlike state. He had always thought that the students in Class One were just academically gifted, but no one had told him how incredible their abilities were.
To outsiders, whether it's competing in the Olympics, winning a gold medal and entering the national training team, or going abroad for exchanges, these things seem completely detached from their lives. How did they manage to do it?
If Lin Wei knew, she would only answer, "That's how I did it." She also wanted to know why she participated in the competition and got to where she was today. She felt that at first, she might have been a little unwilling to admit defeat, but as she went along, she realized that although the road ahead was muddy, as long as she was willing to walk, she could still find a way out.
All I can say is that learning does require a certain amount of courage.
In the days leading up to the start of the semester, she was just like any other student, chatting and studying as usual, without any airs about how great she was and how she looked down on being around others. However, once the training camp began, she quickly got back into the swing of things.
The training for this training camp is a combination of online and offline methods. The teachers are not supervising them anymore. Even if they don't make it into the national team in the end, their achievements along the way are enough to get them into a good university. So they can't be treated like ordinary students. Most of the time, they are left to their own devices.
A group of people can do whatever they want, as long as they don't affect other students. Even if they need to ask for leave, it's approved very quickly.
This also means that students in regular classes rarely see them attend class. To be honest, it's impossible not to be envious. Who wouldn't want such a life? But ordinary people can only work hard as test-takers and try to get into a good university.
In the dormitory, Zhou Xueqing went to evening self-study, while Lin Wei stayed in the dormitory alone to listen to online training courses. However, because two courses conflicted in time, she discussed it with the competition teacher and was free to choose one course to listen to, without any strict rules.
This also led to the fact that when Chi Boyan saw that everyone's avatar in the 60 biology competition class was lit up, except for one person whose avatar was gray, he almost instinctively recognized her as the one who had taken first place from him.
"Lin Wei." He read the name aloud while looking at the computer.
