A perfect score on the college entrance exam? The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng has astonis

Chapter 36 Chen Mo: You're bad, you're mediocre!

Principal Wang did not send a message to Chen Mo, make a phone call, or comment on the video in front of anyone.

He just sat there and watched the video again.

On the second listen, he suddenly realized that when the boy said "You can do it with your hands," the expression on his face wasn't arrogant, but rather one of certainty.

The class group chat was flooded with messages.

Have you guys watched Chen Mo's Douyin videos?

"After seeing it, 'Anyone can do it'... I'm impressed, truly impressed."

"I now seriously suspect that he scored over 400 points on his previous exams just for this day."

"What do you mean?"

"You mean... he deliberately failed his exams for three years?"

"Otherwise what? Going from 400 to 750 can't be explained by hard work alone. He's always been at this level; he's been hiding it all along."

"Holy crap... I endured this for three years just to show off?"

"What's this called? This is called delayed gratification. In psychology, people who can delay gratification are really ruthless."

"I look at Chen Mo differently now. I used to think he was a bad student, but now I think he's an assassin. He hid for three years, just for that one stab in the college entrance exam."

Chen Mo had no idea what the class group was discussing.

All he knew was that his phone kept vibrating, and eventually the battery level dropped from 80% to 60%, so he had to find a charger to plug in.

But he still didn't open Douyin.

He didn't need to open it; he knew what was happening inside.

Comments, reposts, and private messages—every single one either criticized him, praised him, or asked him, "What score did you get?"

He picked up his phone and opened TikTok.

I wasn't watching my own videos; I was just casually browsing the recommended page.

Unsurprisingly, his image dominated the homepage—marketing accounts were analyzing his videos, and passersby were sharing his screenshots.

Some "experts" are commenting on his mental state, and some colleagues are trying to ride his coattails.

The entire Douyin (TikTok) platform seems to be filled with the name "Chen Mo".

He came across a screenshot of a comment.

A Weibo influencer posted a message that was shared tens of thousands of times.

"A perfect score on the college entrance exam is theoretically impossible."

"A perfect score on a Chinese composition means that your essay has reached an impeccable level in all dimensions, including theme, structure, language, and emotion. However, the phrase 'impeccable' itself is a subjective judgment."

Even if your essay truly reached that level, the grading team wouldn't give you full marks.

"Because they need to leave room for later test takers and control the number of perfect scores. So, the so-called 'perfect score in the college entrance examination' is either a rumor or a misunderstanding of scores by this student, Chen Mo."

There were over ten thousand comments below, most of which echoed the sentiment.

"Well said." "Professional." "This is the voice of reason."

Chen Mo looked at the comment without any change in expression.

He scrolled down and saw a director of an educational institution with a long title that was written in three or four lines.

He spoke passionately in the video.

"I have been researching the college entrance examination for fifteen years and I have never seen a perfect score essay."

"This isn't a matter of ability; it's a systemic problem. The scoring criteria for the college entrance examination essay dictate that it's impossible to get a perfect score, because there will always be the words 'it could be better.' Therefore, this student Chen Mo is either lying or completely unaware of the rules of the college entrance examination."

Chen Mo swiped away.

Another science blogger with two million followers published a long article, analyzing seven reasons why it is "impossible to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam," from the marking mechanism to the scoring standards, from statistical probability to historical data, written like a short academic paper.

It was forwarded 50,000 times and received 300,000 likes.

The comments were full of praise for "professionalism," "the power of science," and "letting the facts speak for themselves."

Chen Mo paused after reading the long article.

Then he opened the comments section and found the comment that had been pushed to the top.

The exciting chapter "Chapter 36 Chen Mo: You're terrible, you're mediocre!" is now available online. Click to read it now!

It wasn't him who posted it; it was posted by someone I don't know.

The comment read: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. You can't get a perfect score because you're bad at it."

The comments section below this sentence erupted into a huge uproar.

Some people supported it, some opposed it, some started personal attacks, and some started reasoning.

Chen Mo's gaze fell on the words "You're bad".

Suddenly I found it a little funny.

He clicked on the science blogger's account and left a comment on their latest video.

"You can't get a perfect score because you're bad at it. You question whether others can get a perfect score because you don't want to admit your own mediocrity."

After posting the comment, he put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the light on the ceiling.

He didn't know why he replied to that comment.

Perhaps the blogger's post was too long.

It was so long that he felt it was a waste of his time.

Perhaps it was the phrase "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't" that made him feel understood.

Maybe it's just because he said "um" so many times today that he wanted to say a few more words.

"Holy crap! Chen Mo himself replied!"

"To paraphrase: You can't get a perfect score because you're bad at it. You question whether others can get a perfect score because you don't want to admit your own mediocrity."

"That's... really harsh."

"No, what gives him the right to call someone mediocre? That person is a science blogger with two million followers, who is he?"

"Based on the fact that he probably really did get a perfect score on the college entrance exam."

"It hasn't been confirmed yet! Can you please not jump to conclusions so quickly?"

The debate spread from that comment, raging like wildfire throughout the entire comment section.

Someone took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo with the title "Chen Mo angrily confronts science popularization blogger: You're bad, you're mediocre."

Within half an hour, the Weibo post was forwarded 100,000 times.

Another term has been added to the trending search list.

"Chen Mo, you're terrible."

Sixth place.

It's still rising.

Chen Mo stopped reading the comments.

He turned his phone face down on the table, stood up, and walked to the window.

He stood there for a while.

The phone's vibration finally slowed down.

The screen was still lit.

The notification bar was overflowing with all sorts of messages.

He received messages from Douyin, Weibo, WeChat, and SMS, as well as several missed calls from unknown numbers, which he did not return.
