I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

The principal didn't know what the correct answer was either, and could only wait for the results of the grading. However, just looking at the speed at which the students answered the questions was enough to shock the principal for a hundred years.

I'm not going to watch anymore; I'll find out when the results come out.

The principal remained calm, knowing that he himself couldn't solve the problem and hadn't looked at the answer beforehand, so he definitely wouldn't understand it.

Moreover, there were far too many steps involved. On Chen Mu's answer sheet, answers were frantically written in tiny print.

The sheer number, complexity, and tediousness of the steps involved are extremely rare in the history of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) in mathematics.

The entire answer sheet was covered with dense writing, like ants!

Not long after the principal left quietly, Chen Mu applied to hand in his paper.

The proctor was taken aback: "These questions are driving me crazy! How can you finish this faster than you did in Chinese?"

Although the questions this time were much more difficult than the last time, Chen Mu, who had been training for a month, was far more advanced than he had been last month, and his progress was comparable to a Saiyan entering a gravity chamber.

He has completed a whole set of national competition problems and fully understood them. High school math is basically no longer a challenge for Chen Mu. Since you are still within the high school level, there is naturally no possibility that you cannot defeat him.

Just like high school questions, no matter how difficult, will not exceed the level of a level 5 hero, while Chen Mu has already reached level 6 and has a powerful move at his disposal, so naturally he can easily defeat any opponent.

Chen Mu's early submission of his paper once again cast a negative shadow over the entire classroom.

"Jiang Han is terrified of your problem-solving speed, negative emotions increase by 100."

"Aiting is intimidated that you can solve such a difficult problem, and doubts whether you are human. Add 200 negative emotions."

.........

Some people suspect that Chen Mu gave up on himself and simply submitted half of what he couldn't finish.

Many teachers in the classrooms felt sorry for the students, thinking it was too cruel to make them do such a difficult test in such a short time!

We are the county's No. 1 High School, not the city's No. 1 High School!

However, Chen Mu had not gone far from the classroom when he ran into the principal who was on patrol.

"You handed in your paper so quickly?" As an angel investor who had provided seed funding, Principal Chen Mu was naturally very polite.

"Good morning, Principal. I've finished writing and will hand in my paper now," Chen Mu said.

"Then you'd better get over 140 on the test, or you'll be prohibited from handing in your paper early in the future!" the principal grunted.

Chen Mu nodded, then quickly ran away.

The principal shook his head. It's said that this year's difficulty level is hellish, and no one can score 140.

And he was slightly disappointed in Chen Mu, who only scored 600 points but kept handing in his paper early, while Zhang Weiji always scored over 680 points and never handed in his paper early.

But it's not a big deal. If you don't get into Tsinghua or Peking University, you'll still have to pay back the money!

While Chen Mu went straight to the library to study, the battle in the first examination hall became quite intense.

They were all the top students in the school, so they weren't going to give up easily when they saw the questions. They all racked their brains, determined to solve them.

Wang Xuan almost burst out laughing: "Haha, isn't this set of papers just a revised version of the 08 set? Although there are changes, the question types are the same. I just did this set of papers a few days ago and even looked at the explanations in detail!"

"Heaven is on my side! Could it be that I'm the first one to take the math exam this month?"

Zhang Weiji was also under a lot of pressure. He knew he definitely wouldn't be able to get a perfect score on this test again. What about Chen Mu? Could he get a perfect score?

I bet you're racking your brains just like me, haha. You're a little better at math than me, but not by much. You'll be lucky if you can even finish this!

.....

The various reactions and behaviors observed in the examination hall are numerous and varied.

That evening, back in the dorm, Lu Chen immediately came over and asked, "Brother Mu, you handed in your exam so early? Did you know it all?"

"More or less," Chen Mu nodded.

"..." Lu Chen was speechless. Even though he knew that the last time it was 150, he was still deeply shocked.

It's like getting 20 kills in a ranked match versus getting 20 kills in a professional match—it's a completely different concept. The increased difficulty will give the same data two completely different meanings.

After the exam, he talked to all the math-good students in the class, and everyone was amazed by how difficult the questions were. Even Jiang Yueyao had a headache, saying that she couldn't even solve one part of the last big question.

That means a full 20 points are gone!

Chen Mu not only finished the exam, but also submitted it ahead of schedule, which was simply incredible. He would probably be considered one of the best students at Yunchuan No.1 High School.

However, we'll have to wait for the final scores to confirm. Confidence is one thing, but in the end, the results will speak for themselves.

The exam on the second day was even more interesting.

First, there's English. There's not much to say about that; the vocabulary is simply beyond the syllabus. There are many words that you have to guess, and they're not within the 3500-word limit, which has caused quite a bit of frustration for many people.

However, Chen Mu memorized eight thousand words directly, and English was no longer a problem for him.

The afternoon's combined science exam was more interesting. Physics and chemistry were both fine, still within the scope of what I was learning.

Biology is quite interesting; some of the questions it presents are directly outside the curriculum. If you haven't read the relevant books, you absolutely cannot solve them.

Chen Mu felt that this topic was a perfect fit.

I spent a whole month in the library, and those hundreds of books weren't a waste of time.

If you only focus on finishing what you're supposed to learn in class, like last month, you're in for a rough time this time.

I passed the two-day exam perfectly!

Chen Mu walked out of the examination room with a light and relaxed air, while the others looked as if they had lost their parents, suffering unspeakable pain, as if the tormented people had aged two years.

Many top students with excellent grades were so discouraged that they questioned their existence. After studying hard for so many years, they found that there were so many questions that they couldn't even understand. How could they possibly play this game?

Many students complained online after the exams and found that similar phenomena were occurring in various schools. The difficulty of the monthly exams had increased significantly. Are we going to suffer some kind of shady profit again?

On the day the results were announced, the entire senior high school group was completely silent.

Several math teachers sat around the computer screen, their faces showing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"This...this was actually written by a human? Back then, the highest score for this level of difficulty was 126 in the entire province. He's even better than the provincial champion that year?"

"Most true geniuses don't take the college entrance exam. They might be admitted through special programs or competitions, like the gifted youth program. The top scorer in a province back then might not actually be the best math student at that time."

"It's about the same level of difficulty, but not exactly the same. It's still amazing. Zhang Weiji only scored 116 points, but he scored 146 points, a full 30 points higher."

Seeing the teachers' shocked expressions, Ling Qing pretended to be calm, but secretly she was extremely pleased.

This is the first time I've seen a paper that didn't get a perfect score receive such exaggerated praise.

This is the difference in difficulty. A perfect score does not necessarily mean you are the best. Just like in a competition exam, no one can get a perfect score, but even a passing score means you are among the best in math.

Furthermore, the reason why this paper did not receive a perfect score is also quite interesting: the steps were not enough. In other words, the other person used the "staring method," which clearly shows that the answer to the question was written without using the correct steps. This is also a characteristic of mathematical geniuses, who can often see the answer at a glance.

But Chen Mu's surprises extend far beyond just mathematics.

When the principal saw all the scores, his smile was even more pronounced than if he hadn't suppressed it.

Earning 20,000 a month was, I admit, a huge gamble, but luckily, I made the right bet!

"Post these results out directly to the entire school!" the principal immediately instructed.

Because if Chen Mu's performance is poor, he will have to pay for his 20,000 yuan bonus himself.

However, announcing it to the world and applying for this money again would be much easier.

We must make Chen Mu's name known throughout the entire campus immediately!

Zhang Weiji went to class as usual. He was also a privileged student who was allowed to skip the morning reading session. While others started class at 7:30, he started at 8:20.

He could sleep for an extra forty minutes, but when he went to the classroom after the morning reading class...

Numerous students were found gathered around the bulletin board, making a loud commotion.

Curiosity drove him to join in the fun.

It turns out the monthly exam scores have been released, and this time they even posted the names, classes, and scores of the top 100.
