A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 62 It's not the same level anymore
On April 23, it was drizzling. The students were silent, holding umbrellas, and hurried along the way in the rain, rarely even talking to each other.

It seemed that even God knew that today was the day of the midterm exam for Chengdu No. 2 Middle School, and the rain made the atmosphere even more solemn.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the first subject is Chinese as usual.

Modern Chinese reading, ancient poetry reading, language and writing application.

Modern Chinese reading is divided into non-literary and literary styles. Non-literary styles are nothing more than analyzing logical arguments and summarizing the author's views. This is not difficult for Chen Hui and he can finish it in five minutes.

Literary style involves appreciation of character images, description of the environment, or analysis of narrative techniques.

Recently, new content has been added: reading of science and humanities materials, charts and data reasoning, etc., but they are not difficult.

Then there is the reading of ancient poems and essays, translation of classical Chinese texts, appreciation of ancient poems, and memorization of famous passages and sentences.

When translating classical Chinese, as long as you pay attention to the differences in meaning between ancient and modern times, the usage of function words, and the appreciation of ancient poetry and prose, and master the imagery, emotions, and techniques, you can get most of the points using the trinity analysis method. With a little polishing, it won't be difficult to get full marks.

For Chen Hui, who has a level 2 memory, memorizing famous articles and sentences is not difficult at all.

The application of language and characters mainly involves correcting incorrect sentences and completing sentences. This is a benefit for candidates whose native language is Chinese, and it is a free point question.

The final essay topic was about the pros and cons of building the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle, the integration of tradition and modernity, and how technology empowers cultural communication.

After reading the topic, Chen Hui started writing. The requirement was 800 words, but he wrote 1,000 words before stopping.

This also took him more than twenty minutes.

The entire test takes a total of fifty-three minutes.

Hearty!

The moment Chen Hui stopped writing, he felt refreshed.

This was the first formal exam after his proficiency in various subjects had improved, and Chen Hui was finally completely certain about his future.

It feels great to have your brain racing!

This will probably be the exam that takes up the most time for me.

After packing up his stationery, Chen Hui raised his hand to hand in the paper, walked out of the classroom, and went to the study room with his schoolbag on his back.

The Chinese language test lasts 150 minutes, and there are only about 100 minutes left, so we can’t waste it.

Large-scale exams are very easy for most students. After all, the results of the exams have already been decided, and cramming at the last minute will not have much effect.

There are no classes outside of exam time, so there is a saying circulating in Chengdu’s middle schools: big exams are fun, small exams are fun.

But Chen Hui can't fool people.

The Barbaria Mathematical Competition is approaching. He has already looked at the actual test papers from previous years. The difficulty of the previous preliminaries was not too great, but this competition has not been held very often after all. The difficulty varies greatly from year to year, and no one can predict what the situation will be like this year.

He had to be thoroughly prepared, and he couldn't be lazy in improving his proficiency. Learning never ends, and he also wanted to know to what extent his level in each subject could be improved.

At 11:25, Chen Hui went to the cafeteria five minutes before the end of the exam, got three meals, found a seat and started eating.

In less than ten minutes, just after the exam ended, a huge crowd of people rushed to the cafeteria.

“Thanks for the feed!”

Not long after the crowd of people waiting to eat arrived at the cafeteria, Li Hai came to Chen Hui, sat down leisurely, looked at the long queue around him, and started eating happily.

"Slip away!"

"Everyone handed in their Chinese exam papers early, but I still felt like I didn't have enough time and barely finished my composition."

While eating, Li Hai started chattering non-stop.

There was no unified seating arrangement for the midterm exam, and everyone took the exam in their original seats. Li Hai watched Chen Hui hand in his paper early.

After a series of questions from teachers of various subjects, everyone has a clear understanding of Chen Hui's strength, and Li Hai naturally does not think that Chen Hui is just giving up.

"Chen Hui, don't put all your eggs in one basket." Liang Peixuan also sat down nearby and said with some concern, "Participating in competitions is one way out, but what if I can't make it into the top 60 in the national competition?"

"If you don't have the ability, it's fine. But if you study hard, you may be able to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University with the college entrance examination."

Obviously, he thought Chen Hui was giving up.

After all, he had never heard of anyone finishing a Chinese test in just fifty minutes.

"I'm taking the test seriously!"

Chen Hui is innocent.

Liang Peixuan glanced at Chen Hui, wanting to say something but stopping himself, but ultimately didn't say anything more.

……

In Tiewu Middle School, Class 9, Deng Leyan raised his head from the abstract algebra textbook in front of him, rubbed his sore neck, and frowned slightly.

"Congratulations! You got first place in the grade again!"

Teacher Li Bin came up to Deng Leyan with a smile on his face and congratulated him. He said that the midterm exams for the first year of high school were usually organized by each school itself, and Tiewu Middle School had completed the midterm exams for the first year of high school a few days ago.

"Why, you're still looking so sad even though you got first place in the grade?"

Class nine is a competition class. Generally speaking, everyone is dedicated to competitions. Many students do not perform well in other subjects. Even those who can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University have obvious shortcomings.

But Deng Leyan has no weaknesses. Not only was he able to win a bronze medal in the national mathematics competition when he was in the third year of junior high school, he also had a huge advantage in other subjects.

He is a jack of all trades!
"I feel like group theory isn't that difficult to understand, but what's the point of learning it?"

Deng Leyan was a little confused.

"I'm not proficient in group theory either. I can find an expert in group theory to teach you later."

Li Bin felt a little embarrassed. Although he was a doctoral student in mathematics, he had been focusing on high school mathematics competitions for so many years that he had almost forgotten many things.

"You don't have to focus on abstract algebra. Just have a general understanding and be able to make it to the finals. The preliminaries are not important."

He continued, "The finals are at the end of June, so time isn't very abundant. Your focus right now should be on learning algebraic combinatorics, graph theory, discrete geometry, probability theory, and stochastic processes. These are easier for you to understand. We'll choose the combinatorics and probability tracks for the finals. If you're lucky, you might have a chance to win a medal."

"Ok, I know."

Deng Leyan also understood this truth. After all, he was only in the first year of high school. He had a lot to learn and his time and energy were limited. He should use his time wisely.

"What has that guy from Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School been doing lately?"

After closing the abstract algebra textbook, Deng Leyan couldn't help but ask another question. The failure in the provincial competition was a big psychological barrier for him.

Li Bin couldn't help but laugh. "What else can he do? He'll definitely be fully preparing for the CMO competition. Entering the national finals is a big deal for Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School. It's a first for them. They'll definitely have to train them with all their might."

"But you're already studying university math and preparing to participate in the Barbaria Competition. You're no longer on the same level as him."

Deng Leyan nodded.

He admitted that the guy was very strong, but the educational resources of Rongcheng No. 2 Middle School were there. Whether it was the teaching staff or the vision, it could not be compared with Tiewu Middle School.

For example, he has already been learning university mathematics and preparing for the Barbaria Global Mathematics Competition, which is open to everyone. If he had not been distracted by studying university mathematics, that guy would not have won the first place in the provincial competition.

Maybe that guy can temporarily surpass him in the high school math league, but the future is destined to belong to him.

"Okay, let's take a rest."

Seeing Deng Leyan come to his senses, Li Bin smiled with satisfaction, "Combining work and rest, your health is the capital of revolution."
