Chapter 242 Excitedly Revealed an Identity [3 Updates]
Ying Yuexuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the dean of academic affairs wanted her to see.
She walked over and her gaze fell on the computer screen.
The next second, Ying Yuexuan's pupils suddenly contracted and then widened.
Her hands involuntarily gripped the table, almost unbelievably.
The personal information and grades in the first line are highlighted in red.
There's a parenthesis at the end, which is a special note: "This is the exam paper for the gifted class, and it hasn't been converted using coefficients."
Despite taking the exams designed for gifted students, Ying Zijing's grades still surpassed those of the top students in the science experimental class.
Ying Yuexuan's breathing also became rapid.
In the gifted class exams, someone actually got full marks in math and physics?!
Ying Yuexuan certainly knew how difficult the exam papers for the gifted class were.
It was written by a professor at Imperial Capital University.
Especially for English, they hired renowned foreign linguists.
Even if she gave it her all, she couldn't possibly get a perfect score.
She estimated that if she worked hard, she could get a maximum score of 270 in the combined science exam.
But the difference between 270 points and 300 points is worlds apart.
As for English, some questions are so difficult that even native English speakers can't answer them.
After she went to O continent, she brought a set of exam papers for the gifted class and asked the students of Ellen School to do them.
Of course, she wasn't qualified to get to know the top students; the one she knew was a girl who ranked tenth in the grade.
Elan School secured one of the ten spots in the final round of the ISC International Competition, and this girl will undoubtedly be selected.
The girl scored 138 points on the math test for the gifted class.
Therefore, Ying Yuexuan estimated that the top student in the grade at Yilan Academy should have a score of over 145.
Zhong Zhiwan scored just over 120 points.
In terms of education, Yilan Academy already holds a clear advantage over Qingzhi Middle School and two other high schools in the capital.
If the two schools were to face off in the ISC international competition, Qingzhi Middle School would be completely outmatched.
Elland School is also the high school that sends the most students to Norton University every year and enjoys a very high international reputation.
She went to Elaine Academy as an exchange student, and not just to make room for Ying Zijing.
Or perhaps it's because Elaine Academy itself offers her a better opportunity for improvement.
But now, in Qingzhi... no, in China, there's someone whose grades consistently surpass those of students at Yilan Academy?!
Ying Yuexuan's throat was a little dry.
"See that?" The dean of academic affairs pointed to the first line when he saw that she seemed stunned, and said, "It's not that I'm not giving you a chance, it's just that the gap is too big."
He felt it wasn't right to discourage her like that, and he wanted to encourage her. He added, "But Ying Yuexuan, you're also very excellent. If you used the time you would spend preparing for ISC to take the college entrance exam, maybe our school can produce two top science students next year."
Two top science students, the other one is self-evident.
"I'm sorry, Director." Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips slightly, her eyelashes drooping. "I really didn't know. I have no objection to giving this spot to my sister."
"But you—" the academic affairs director paused, then changed to a more appropriate word, "didn't you go to Class 19 and give Ying Zijing some foreign study materials?"
Moreover, he saw those silly kids in the science experimental class buying Ying Zijin's photos, saying they wanted to hang them on the wall and worship them.
At school, practically everyone knows that Ying Zijing is a top student.
Ying Yuexuan's smile was somewhat forced for the first time, and her voice was very soft: "I'm sorry, Director, I haven't been paying attention to that."
She now finally understood why the other students in the gifted class always hesitated to speak.
The academic director didn't say anything, just nodded: "If you really want to participate in ISC, you can start with the selection competition. Registration has already begun."
"The main reason is that the school only has one spot available, and if there's one more, they'll let you go."
Ying Yuexuan didn't say anything.
Those selected through the competition receive far less favorable treatment than those who qualify directly for international tournaments.
Ying Yuexuan didn't know how she got home from school.
After returning home, she still didn't see Ying Tianlu.
Ying Yuexuan sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
She felt that everything had changed after she came back.
Whether at home or at school, other people's eyes no longer followed her.
She could clearly sense the change in the attitudes of Grandpa Zhong and Ying Tianlu.
They treated Ying Zijing better, and deliberately avoided her.
Just because she's not their biological child?
Ying Yuexuan couldn't describe how she felt.
She suddenly got up, went back to her room, and began packing her luggage.
As I was leaving with my suitcase, I ran into Zhong Manhua, who was returning from shopping.
Zhong Manhua's smile vanished instantly, and she looked flustered.
Ignoring the shopping bags she was still carrying, she snatched the suitcase from Ying Yuexuan's hands: "Xiaoxuan, what are you doing? Your older brother ran away because he didn't listen to you, are you going to break your mother's heart too?"
Ying Yuexuan stiffened: "Mom, no, I just want to live at school because I want to sign up for an international competition, and it will be more convenient at school."
Zhong Manhua breathed a sigh of relief: "Why live at school? Home is better, isn't it? A driver will take you there every day. Don't live at school."
As she spoke, she had the housekeeper take her suitcase away, then waved and said, "Mom bought you new clothes, come and try them on."
Ying Yuexuan walked in calmly and slowly said, "Okay. Thank you, Mom."
**
On the other side.
After the academic affairs director reported Ying Zijing's name, he sent her the information about ISC.
The document is a PDF file, which is over a hundred MB in size.
Ying Zijing opened it and browsed through it.
Then, she suddenly realized that she had agreed to the principal's request too quickly.
This competition is far too complicated.
Including the selection rounds, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and international finals, the entire process takes a full eight months.
The international finals consist of three rounds, taking a total of one month, and are not held in China.
Ying Zijing thought about the principal's balding head and decided to show him some care so as not to hurt his feelings.
The final round was a group of six, with each person responsible for several scientific fields, so she could still slack off.
Just then, the phone next to the mouse rang.
Ying Zijing answered: "Hello?"
The person making the call was Zuo Li, a professor in the Physics Department of Imperial University who had personally visited Qingzhi.
"Ying, you know about ISC, right?"
"Yes, I just finished reviewing the information."
"I knew it, the Qingzhi faction must have sent you." Zuo Li was quite happy. "But even if they didn't send you, with your abilities, you could easily make it to the international finals."
"No, that won't happen." Ying Zijing said ruthlessly, "The competition lasts too long, it's tiring."
"..."
Zuo Li was momentarily speechless, then changed the subject.
"Do you know why we had the idea of ISC?" he asked mysteriously. "It's because of a historical figure, you should have heard of Simon Brand, right?"
“I’ve heard of him.” Ying Zijin continued flipping through the information. “A very famous scientist.”
“Yes, he’s simply a miracle in the scientific world! A genius!” Zuo Li exclaimed excitedly. “He’s an all-rounder in the sciences, with expertise in physics and chemistry.”
"Moreover, he was also an astronomer and one of the first people in the 17th century to propose the concept of spaceships. Later generations discovered his drawings of spaceship models in his manuscripts."
"His ideas were too advanced. Some of his views coincided with modern science. He even wrote about the origin of the Big Bang and space jump technology, which did not exist at that time."
Ying Zijing pondered for a moment: "So, the ISC was held because of him?"
“Of course, there are his reasons, but there is one more important one.” Zuo Liyue became more and more excited as he spoke, “His manuscript also records one of his students, Gwen Brown.”
Ying Zijin paused.
“He said that his student’s future achievements would definitely surpass his own, and many theories were explored by the two of them together,” Zuo Li continued. “However, Gwen Brown had no interest in academia and later went into hiding, so she is not very famous.”
"So we thought, there were such geniuses hundreds of years ago, and humanity has progressed, so there must still be some today. The ISC is dedicated to discovering these geniuses and giving them the best resources."
Ying Zijing pressed her head down and remained silent.
"Hey, Ying, why are you so quiet?" Zuo Li asked in surprise. "Are you also thinking how amazing this master and apprentice pair are?"
“No.” Ying Zijing said expressionlessly, “I was thinking that if I could travel through time, I would definitely burn Simon’s manuscripts.”
We agreed not to write her name.
The old man is untrustworthy.
Zuo Li: "???"
Finally, completely bewildered, he ended the call.
Ying Zijin got up and went to pour water.
There was a knock on the door at that moment.
"Knock knock knock!"
It was less of a knock and more of a ramming.
Brutal and violent.
In just two seconds, with a loud "bang," the heavy security door collapsed.
Ying Zijin turned her head away.
Then, she took off the hair tie from her wrist and began to tie her hair up.
Simon, buried underground: ^_^ Apprentice, you didn't expect this?
See you tomorrow!
