Age of Legends

Chapter 11 Don’t be surprised

Zhang Chen closed the door and had time to examine the current situation.

A bleak future, a horrible mother, a cowardly father, a vicious aunt and a home that is about to fall apart.

They all rhyme!
The underlying tone of comedy is indeed sad.

But... Zhang Chen took out the thirty-seven yuan in small lots from his pocket and placed it on the glass table.

Suddenly I remembered Shen Nuoyi’s red butterfly hairpin, it was so beautiful.

After confirming the fact that he was reborn and being beaten by life for a day, Zhang Chen felt that he should show some real skills.

Life gives me suffering, I repay it with songs.

What a loud song of victory, hmm.

He spread out today's test paper, and then went to the bookcase to find several papers on different subjects. Very good, he would use the abilities he had acquired over the years to test his current skills.

The English paper with a score of 53, which is the last one... Haha, you’ll know after giving it a try.

You have to know that Zhang Chen went to a rubbish third-tier university that he paid for, but later it became a second-tier university due to a merger. After that, he learned from his mistakes and worked hard, and found a graduate student at a 211 university in a poor area. In the end, he was points away from passing the score.

Although it was a weak zone, the difference of 30 points already showed that he had a good chance of passing the postgraduate entrance examination that year, which was also a disguised affirmation of Zhang Chen's efforts.

Yes, this is just like the failed disciple in the immortal hero's examination who returned to the town to fight against the ordinary families. He should still be able to conquer his own kingdom.

Hmm...right?

So take this English test again. Don’t worry about the correct answers. I seemed to be guessing when I was doing it. I didn’t choose C for all the questions, and I guessed a few of them correctly.

Actually, his English was not bad. He had failed the postgraduate entrance examination for many years, but because it was something he needed to use, he became proficient in it. He also used a Seagull radio to play English test tapes. The spoken English from the tapes sounded like he was speaking with something vague in his mouth. At first glance, it really didn't make sense after years of being in society.

This is not surprising. High school entrance exams are like athletes' competitions. Some things really require you to stay excited on the track. Not everyone with a high diploma can do them easily. Even for English listening, you still need to practice more. For a listening comprehension test with 20 points, just consider it as points.

Then I finished the whole set of papers. The English paper was worth 150 points. Now after sorting it out, my score was 122.

122... Zhang Chen looked at this number. What kind of value is this? It is roughly equal to the strength of his cousin.

Didn't Liu Shuzhen say before that her cousin Li Wei's English score never dropped below 120, so she was at the 120 level. Because if she could get 130, she would never hide it.

Although 122 is still far behind Shen Nuoyi's 139, this is just a trial for me. It is the result of years of vocabulary accumulation and application. If I work harder, it is possible to improve further.

What about science?
Zhang Chen muttered, "Physics, physics! Let's fight!"

I found the blank exam paper that was pressed in the bookcase and started writing.

Not long after, Zhang Chen closed the paper.

He opened another blank test paper marked with "Rongcheng Chemistry Paper Compilation".

It won't be long before these are closed.

Hands together.

I'm sorry I was too loud just now.

After so many years away from physics and chemistry, I can't even understand the questions!
I don't respect high school science. Finally, there is mathematics. Well, mathematics is something I learned after all. Mathematics for postgraduate students is closely related to high school mathematics. It's just that after so many years, I have forgotten many things that should have been easy to do. I still know the general direction of the problem, mainly foresight, but I can't remember some of the high school math formulas.

But there is still hope, there is still hope.

If you study mathematics with the same effort as when you were preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and practice solving problems with formulas, you may be able to get a score of 120. If you perform even better, you may even be able to get 130.

Haha, “performing better in the end”, this is an idea that almost everyone has had.

Fortunately, I have a good foundation in Chinese and can get 120 points. Now looking back, I think I can get even higher. I will try to pass physics and chemistry and not drag down the score. If I can perform better, I can count them as points.

So according to this rough calculation, the total bonus brought by his rebirth should be able to reach 560.

Oh my god, 560. You have to know that Zhang Chen's total score is only between 430 and , the last in the class. Fortunately, he fought hard in his senior year of high school and scored that year, and was transferred to a high-priced third-tier university.

Last year, the provincial key university admission score was 520. Of course, this was just for reference. In other words, it seemed like I had gained several decades of skills, and from the bottom of the class at 430, I could jump to a level above the key university admission score?
Of course, these are just estimates, provided that he puts in the same effort as he did when he took the postgraduate entrance examination.

But, but, I can also feel the pride of being a good high school student...

Logically speaking, as a reborn person, he doesn't need to care about his studies. There should be many opportunities to make money. For some people, isn't it the happiest thing to have a stable career and job?
But Zhang Chen is different. In his past, he was a shirker and a loser. Even his postgraduate entrance examination failed.

This time, he just wanted to not run away or hide, go back to his high school days, and face the fate that made him return empty-handed that year.

Zhang Chen, realizing this, clenched his fists tightly, unable to suppress his emotions at the moment. He looked at the door, opened it, and came to the living room.

Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen were still watching TV in the living room, deliberately turning down the volume, and watched him leave.

Zhang Zhonghua pointed to the table in the living room and said, "Eat some fruit? I've already cut it for you, son."

Zhang Chen looked at the two of them and said seriously, "Dad, Mom, wait for me to build a great empire for you!"

The two of them froze for a moment.

Zhang Zhonghua looked at Huang Huifen in confusion. Huang Huifen's eyes widened and she stood up. "Well, how many girlfriends do you want to date? You're kidding me! You still want to conquer the world and have three thousand beauties in your harem!"

Zhang Zhonghua stood aside and looked at him with a sidelong glance. Huang Huifen began to look around for a clothes drying rack.

"No, no, I'm talking about grades, I'm talking about grades!" How did I associate them together? They haven't come out of the context just now, and their minds are still thinking about the girl writing a love letter to Zhang Chen!

After hearing Zhang Chen's explanation, the tension immediately subsided.

"Oh. You should have said it earlier." Huang Huifen sat back on the sofa.

Zhang Zhonghua turned his head back like a robot and looked at the TV again.

You two don't even try to pretend!

At least your son has suddenly woken up and started to work hard, so you should at least encourage him!

Little did they know that in the eyes of the two, this was another of Zhang Chen's intermittent madness.

They have long been accustomed to it and are no longer surprised.

Finally, Zhang Zhonghua couldn't bear to see him in a daze, so he said, "If you don't rank last in your class in the final exam and let me attend the parent-teacher conference without covering my face, I'll be satisfied."
