This top-tier academic genius

When Li Shuhua announced Lin Yan's grades in front of the whole class, it immediately caused a sensation.

All eyes in the class turned to Lin Yan.

Chen Bin's eyes widened in disbelief.

How many? 614 points! My goodness! Top 30 in the grade! Lin Yan is that awesome! Amazing!!!

Who would have thought that this best friend, who was just as good as me two weeks ago, would suddenly become a top student?

Zhu Guanqun looked at his deskmate with an admiring gaze, his pupils almost forming a six.

This improvement is truly astonishing; going from the bottom of the grade to the top 30 is terrifying to even think about.

Meng Xue's eyes also showed surprise; she hadn't realized he was really that amazing.

Zhang Yang, who had been beaming with pride just moments before, now looked rather displeased.

Liu Qing, sitting in the front row, glanced at Zhang Yang and muttered, "Oh, so the poster was right."

The voice was right in front of Zhang Yang, and his face turned even uglier, as if he had been slapped hard in the face again.

Strange, why is it "again"?

Faced with the approving look from his homeroom teacher and the surprised gazes from his classmates, Lin Yan remained calm, as if he had expected it all along, showing no surprise or pride.

He simply stood up, nodded slightly, and then sat down again.

Li Shuhua: "I hope Lin Yan continues to maintain this level of performance, and I also hope everyone can learn from him. Okay, next, let's get the hair permed for this monthly exam."

Li Shuhua teaches Chinese, so the test papers that were handed out this time were naturally Chinese test papers.

Lin Yan's Chinese score in this monthly exam was not high, only 97 points, just 7 points above the passing mark.

In the subsequent classes, the teachers distributed test papers, and without exception, all the teachers gave special praise to Lin Yan, who had made the most progress.

English 94, Math 150, Chemistry 82, Biology 91, Physics 100 – these are Lin Yan's scores in the other subjects of this monthly exam.

This allowed the students to witness once again how terrifying Lin Yan was.

As we all know, among the six main subjects, mathematics and physics are the most difficult.

These two subjects are often the key to a difference in scores, but Lin Yan managed to get full marks in both of them.

In the entire Xincheng No.1 High School, there are two students who got full marks in mathematics and two students who got full marks in physics, but only Lin Yan got full marks in both mathematics and physics.

The cheater is terrifyingly powerful!

You can set the price as low as you want, or as high as you want.

During break, Lin Yan was organizing her chemistry knowledge framework.

"Lin Yan, how are you so amazing?"

A soft, sweet voice drifted over.

Lin Yan looked up and saw a beautiful and stylish classmate standing in front of her.

Xu Ran, the class beauty of Class 2, Grade 12, is not only beautiful, but also very good at dressing up. She has a soft and sweet voice and is recognized by the boys as the class beauty.

Clearly, Xu Ran's initiative to strike up a conversation with Lin Yan attracted the attention of many people, especially the boys in the class, who let out a series of animalistic shouts.

"Oh~"

The commotion drew more attention and made Xu Ran blush slightly, her shyness adding to her charm.

Zhang Yang watched this scene with a livid face. What teenager doesn't like pretty girls? He was no exception.

However, when he tried to talk to Xu Ran several times, she seemed unwilling to talk to him and gave off a feeling of keeping him at arm's length.

"Tch, so what if he's a bit handsome?" Zhang Yang scoffed.

However, when the class beauty took the initiative to strike up a conversation, Lin Yan asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

In a single sentence, everyone around him realized a terrifying fact: Lin Yan didn't even know the class beauty.

He didn't even recognize the class beauty?!

Xu Ran was also stunned, not expecting that the other party did not recognize her. However, she quickly composed herself.

"My name is Xu Ran. You're amazing in math and physics, you got perfect scores in both! Can I add you on WeChat? I can ask you for help next time if I have any questions."

Lin Yan sincerely suggested, "If you don't understand, you can ask the teacher first. The teacher will definitely teach you better than I can."

This response shocked everyone once again.

Xu Ran froze, her hand poised to open WeChat on her phone, her face contorted in disbelief.

He refused, he refused!

In the past, others would ask her for her WeChat, but now she took the initiative to add Lin Yan on WeChat and was rejected.

"Oh, okay, thank you," Xu Ran said awkwardly, then turned and returned to her seat.

Zhu Guanqun, who witnessed the whole process, gave Lin Yan a thumbs up, expressing his heartfelt admiration.

"Yan-ge, you're a real man, Sigma, pure and simple!"

"Um?"

Lin Yanxin thought to herself that she had only made a good suggestion; when it came to teaching, the teacher was definitely the better teacher.

After the afternoon classes ended, Lin Yan's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, registered in Ningjiang.

"Hello there."

"Hello, is this Lin Yan?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who are you?"

"I am Han Dong from the 'The Voice of China' program team. We've met before; I sat in the middle of the judges' panel at the last audition."

Hello, hello.

That's when I remembered it.

"Here's the thing, I wanted to let you know that the regional competition will be held next weekend in Rongcheng. Let's add each other on WeChat later, and I'll send you the address."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Han."

"Just call me Brother Dong. By the way, I heard you say last time that you were still a senior in high school. I'm from Rongcheng, right? Is it convenient for you to get around? Do you need me to arrange a car for you?"

"No need, I can arrange it myself."

Lin Yanxin thought, "Are the regional competition contestants treated this well? They even get to be provided with private cars?"

In fact, this benefit only applies to Lin Yan, who has already been pre-selected to advance to the main competition.

Other contestants, let alone having a car, were only notified of the race by ordinary staff members; it was hardly Han Dong's turn to come personally.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yan indeed received a new WeChat friend request, and the profile picture was Han Dong's.

After we connected via WeChat, the other party sent me the time and location of the upcoming match.

The competition will be held on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Rongcheng Grand Theatre. Participants will be invited to choose any song they like to sing, and the top eight will advance to the main competition.

Han Dong also sent a voice message, telling Lin Yan to prepare a song to sing in advance, which would be accompanied by background music.

The other party also kindly reminded us: You don't need to use an original song; you can wait until the main competition to sing it.

Lin Yan: Huh? What do you mean by that?

They're already talking about the main tournament before the regional qualifiers have even started.

Then, Lin Yan smiled faintly.

He wasn't stupid; after a little thought, he understood Han Dong's subtext: Han Dong was telling him that he could advance to the main competition.

To put it bluntly, as long as it's not too outrageous, they'll automatically be promoted.

Lin Yan had previously been an idol trainee and had heard many similar stories; many variety shows were scripted and had behind-the-scenes manipulations.

As for why the production team predetermined his advancement, Lin Yan wasn't quite sure of the reason, and he didn't intend to delve into it.
