Chapter 837: Junior Su Bing Is Very Handsome
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The first voice was a voice of disbelief, “It’s not that your cultural level isn’t high enough. This child isn’t using the logic of a primary school student to answer the questions. You wouldn’t see it, of course. This child must have learned some junior and senior high school mathematics, or perhaps he has read some books on his own. It seems that this child didn’t cheat after all. We were overthinking.”
“What? This child is only in the fourth grade. Reading junior high school books is barely understandable, but high school books too? And just by reading them, he understands? Does he even have a normal human brain?”
The parents were all stunned. At the same time, the chief examiner picked up the test paper and laughed, “He has a normal human brain, but his works several times faster than an average one. He’s a genius. Do you know his total score?”
The parents were all silent, too afraid to speak. After a while, a parent finally ventured a guess, “It’s not a perfect score, is it? That’s just unbearable.”
The chief examiner shook his head, but his smile deepened, “Not a perfect score, but better than perfect. The passing score for the second round of the exam is ninety-eight. He made a mistake on the simplest major question, losing two points. He scored exactly ninety-eight. It’s brilliant. I’m really looking forward to his performance in the final.”
The parents were all dumbfounded. They had seen top students score high marks, but they had never seen someone calculate their score to answer the questions. Was this the legendary score control? They had to admit defeat. No more parents accused Su Bing of cheating. They all left the chief examiner’s office with red faces.
The final round began quickly. There were ten students who advanced to the finals, four of whom were from the First Bilingual Primary School. Of course, Su Bing had the lowest score, just enough to pass.
Before going on stage, a sixth-grade student who had scored full marks approached Su Bing and arrogantly said, “During the quick answer session, you and the other two should follow my lead, especially you. Don’t think that handing in your paper early and getting in the newspaper makes you something special. You’re just a country bumpkin. If you mess me up and the school loses the championship, you’ll be the one to blame.”
Su Bing, hands in his pockets, looked up at the boy and said coldly, “Why should we cooperate with you? I suggest you cooperate with me.”
With that, Su Bing walked to his own answering seat, not giving the sixth-grader another glance.
The sixth-grader clenched his fists. He had thought that this Su Bing was quite impressive, performing so well in his first competition. He had considered taking him under his wing. But now, he was being snubbed. He was determined to make Su Bing lose miserably in the competition.
Two students from the same school looked at the menacing sixth-grade senior and couldn’t help but worry for Su Bing. They discussed amongst themselves, “The senior was the champion of the math competition in the previous two years. He’s a formidable opponent. Su Bing has actually chosen to be his adversary. This could turn out badly.”
The students paused for a moment, allowing the weight of their words to sink in.
“But don’t you think that Su Bing is quite handsome?” one of them mused. “He’s cool and good-looking. Isn’t that more interesting than the senior?”
The other student scoffed, “You girls are so superficial, only caring about appearances. Su Bing needs to prove his worth through his abilities. That’s what makes a man truly interesting, you know!”
With that, the two students parted ways, each heading to their respective seats for the competition. The contest was about to begin. It was a rigorous test of the students’ intellectual limits and psychological endurance.
The teachers would pose the questions on the spot, and the students had to answer within a set time limit. Parents were also present as spectators, making the environment far from quiet.
Despite the challenging conditions, all ten students were highly capable. During the initial round of answering questions, no one made a mistake. They all passed until the quick-response round.
Some students, too nervous to answer correctly, either failed to answer or lost points due to calculation errors. After a series of mistakes, five students were eliminated within ten minutes, leaving the remaining five to continue the contest.
Teacher Du, who was leading the team from the audience, was quite pleased. All four students from their school were still in the game, especially Su Bing. She could tell that he hadn’t even begun to show his true abilities. But now, with only five contestants left, it was time for him to step up.
Sure enough, in the following quick-response round, Su Bing was always the first to raise his hand as soon as the question was displayed. Before others could even finish reading the question, he had already written his answer.
Who could compete with that? In no time, Su Bing had gone from having the lowest score of ten points to having the highest score of eighty, causing the other four students to turn pale.
One of the students, the girl who had earlier commented on Su Bing’s coolness, even started crying on the spot.
Su Bing looked at her, puzzled. She still had fifty points, didn’t she? She hadn’t been eliminated, so why was she crying? Deciding it had nothing to do with him, he turned his attention back to the competition, focusing all his energy on answering the questions.
