After taking the advice, I became a top student.

Waaah...

Chen Mo was explaining a problem when his phone suddenly rang. It was his father, Chen Wanjun, calling.

I checked the time and it was already past 9:50.

"Sorry guys, my dad called. I'll end the broadcast a few minutes early today. See you tomorrow at the same time."

After saying that, Chen Mo turned off the live stream and answered Chen Wanjun's call.

"Xiao Mo, did I disturb your studies?"

Chen Wanjun's voice came through the microphone.

"No, get out of class ended a long time ago. I'm studying in the classroom."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Wanjun's tone was much more relaxed. "How have you been settling in at school lately? Are you eating well? It's going to get colder soon, so wear more clothes. Do you have enough money for living expenses? Remember to ask us if you don't..."

"I'm used to it. The food in the school cafeteria is delicious, but it's much worse than what Mom cooks. I brought my clothes; it's not cold here in Chengdu yet, a light jacket is enough..."

Chen Mo answered them one by one.

Shen Qingyi, who was standing next to Chen Mo, couldn't help but smile as she listened to Chen Mo and his son chatting about everyday things.

What are you doing?

"what……"

A sharp, explosive sound rang out in the classroom.

Shen Qingyi was startled by the sudden voice coming from behind her.

Looking back, they realized it was the school security guard, who was staring suspiciously at Chen Mo and Shen Qingyi.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Mo patted Shen Qingyi on the shoulder to comfort her before saying to the security guard, "We're studying."

The security guard, however, simply did not believe it. A lone man and a lone woman studying in a classroom late at night?

"It's so late, the dorm lights are about to go out, hurry back to your dorm."

However, he didn't say much, since he had no evidence and he also knew that Class 18 was the top class in the school, so it was best not to offend the students in that class.

"Okay, we'll go back in a bit. We'll turn off the lights when we leave."

Chen Mo nodded.

Are you alright?

After the security guard left, Chen Mo looked at Shen Qingyi again.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Shen Qingyi waved her hand. She was just startled by the sudden voice, but she recovered quite a bit after realizing it was a living person.

However, she probably won't dare to study alone in the classroom late at night anymore.

"Xiao Mo, what's wrong on your end?"

Chen Wanjun's voice came through the microphone.

"It's nothing. The school security guard was patrolling the building just now and I spoke to him for a bit."

Chen Mo put the phone to his ear again.

"oh."

Chen Wanjun nodded before continuing, "Your homeroom teacher just called me and asked me to advise you to choose one of the two subjects, physics or mathematics, for the competition. Don't be indecisive, or you'll end up being good at everything but bad at everything, wasting your time."

"Dad, I understand, don't worry."

"Yes, Dad knows you have your own opinions, so I won't try to persuade you too much. I just want to tell you not to put too much pressure on yourself. It doesn't matter if you study well or not. My little shop is the only one of its kind in this small town, so I can make a living."

"We'll keep the shop for you, ready for you to return and inherit the family business anytime!"

Chen Wanjun's hearty laughter came through the microphone.

"OK."

Chen Mo laughed happily, and then the two hung up the phone.

If it had been the mother making the call, the two might have chatted for a while longer, but that's just Chen Wanjun's style; both boys are straightforward, and he hung up as soon as he finished speaking.

"Your dad is quite interesting."

After Chen Mo hung up the phone, Shen Qingyi said with a smile.

Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, as white and flawless as the moonlight outside the window.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

Then, with a hint of pride, he replied, "It is quite interesting. My dad is quite popular in town."

Are you going for a run later?

"yes."

"Then take me with you, I also want to exercise."

"Running in a skirt?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"That's possible..."

Do you prefer sportswear?

"I quite like the dress too..."

……

Xiaomei Town

Chen Wanjun hung up the phone, his face scrunched up in a frown.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with Xiaomo?"

Tao Tao's heart clenched instantly.

"It's not that there's any problem, but I'm not sure if it's good news or bad news."

Chen Wanjun said hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

"I have a feeling that our son is in a relationship."

"How did you know? Was that why the homeroom teacher called?"

Tao Tao immediately perked up, "You can't make a mistake, this is a good thing! Tell the homeroom teacher that we parents support this, we can't break up this couple."

"That's not what the homeroom teacher was talking about."

Chen Wanjun was both amused and exasperated. "When I called him just now, I heard a girl's voice next to him."

"You know, it's so late at night..."

"What's wrong with that? What's wrong with young people going out for a walk and chatting in the evening?"

Tao Tao exclaimed with delight, "Xiao Mo has grown up!"

"No, you need to transfer another thousand yuan to Xiaomo right now. You can't mistreat a girl when you're dating. You should give her gifts and treat her to nice meals..."

……

After finishing his run and returning to his dorm, Chen Mo took a shower, lay down in bed, took out his phone, opened Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website), and after checking the answers from netizens that day, updated the question again.

I joined the physics competition team again today. Any advice on participating in the physics competition? PS: I will also participate in the math competition as usual.

After posting the revised version, Chen Mo turned off his phone and prepared to go to sleep.

However, as soon as I put the phone under my pillow, it started vibrating continuously.

Chen Mo then remembered that the Do Not Disturb mode was set to 23:00 PM, and there were still a few minutes before the lights went out.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone again.

Undoubtedly, within a short period of time after he updated the question, many netizens posted answers.

[Getting cocky already? You just joined the math competition team, and you've already won the CMO gold medal.]

I don't know what gave you such confidence. Are you sure you can handle all that? Math involves number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and inequalities; physics involves mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and modern physics… The sheer volume of these two subjects combined would take you more than 48 hours a day.

Wait, let me sort out the timeline. Two months ago, I was in the last few days of my grade and scored 150 points in the midterm math exam. Half a month ago, I joined the math competition team, and now I've joined the physics competition team.

???

Isn't this timeline a bit too fast? A normal person does one thing for three years of high school, and you're doing three things in one year?

I strongly suspect that the person who asked the question is making up a story. Either the person who asked the question is a once-in-a-century genius, or the person who asked the question is just bragging.

I lean towards the latter, because it's too outrageous; even novels wouldn't dare to write something like that.

[Hilarious! This scenario seems familiar. Before, when you asked how to improve your score, everyone laughed at you. Later, when you wanted to join the math competition team, everyone laughed at you again. Now that you're joining the physics competition team, everyone is laughing at you again. I bet you can get a provincial first prize in physics.]

The "God of Gamblers" replied: "I bet he got second place in physics in the province. If I lose, I'll do a handstand and wash my hair live on stream."

The big shots are the best; they'll bring back a gold medal and prove them wrong.

"Melon Farmer No. 3" replied: The questioner already has crystallized powder; account creation successful.

[This guy is so amazing, why don't you also learn about chemistry and biology competitions?]

[It is recommended to participate in math, physics, chemistry, and biology competitions simultaneously. Task difficulty: B. Completion reward: 5000-300000 nutrients. A special reward, "Hexagonal Warrior," may be triggered depending on the completion rate.]

[Hexagonal Warrior: Your six-dimensional attributes will remain consistent with the highest attribute]

"A hexagonal warrior?!"

Chen Mo's eyes widened when he saw the reward.

However, he was also aware of his own limitations. Participating in math and physics competitions had already taken up almost all of his time and energy, and continuing to participate in chemistry and biology competitions would probably just be to make up the numbers, and might even affect his math and physics competitions.

If you can't get good grades and trigger special rewards, you might as well focus on math and physics first. If you have extra time and energy later, you can consider the other two subjects.
