After taking the advice, I became a top student.

December 8th,

Chen Mo is still live-streaming his physics lessons.

Jiang Fan, who was watching the live stream, suddenly became a little worried. Could this kid really not be studying math?

On the morning of the 9th, Jiang Fan made a special trip to Class 18 and secretly observed Chen Mo for a whole class period. He found that Chen Mo was actually studying physics the whole time, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

He came up to Chen Mo and said earnestly, "The competition is in two days, you'd better take a look at the math too."

"Okay, Teacher Jiang."

Chen Mo readily accepted the good advice and continued to bury himself in studying physics.

All the suggestions already had a price tag attached, and Chen Mo only listened to the suggestions with the highest price.

"?"

Jiang Fan stood there, stunned.

On the afternoon of the 9th, at the gate of Rongcheng No.1 Middle School,

"Keep it up, Lao Chen! Bring back a provincial first prize and show me what the certificate looks like. I'll brag about it on WeChat Moments!"

Guo Chao patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and said excitedly.

Li Ze patted Chen Mo's other shoulder, his expression complex but sincere, and said, "Keep it up! Now I can say I'm from the same hometown as that top student!"

"I never expected you would actually represent No. 1 High School in the math competition. This makes me lose face."

Huang Qinghua looked at Chen Mo, her eyes gradually hardening with determination. "I've always felt that hard work is useless, but if you can get the provincial first prize this time, I'll study hard from now on!"

"Then I think you can start working on it now."

Chen Mo said confidently.

"whispering sound!"

Huang Qinghua naturally didn't believe it. The best result that students from No. 1 High School had ever dreamed of was only the provincial first prize. He believed that Chen Mo might eventually get the provincial first prize, but that would be next year, not this year.

"What, you don't believe Chen Mo can win the provincial first prize?"

Guo Chao, standing next to Huang Qinghua, looked at him with displeasure. Ever since he compared answers with Huang Qinghua after the last midterm exam and got a wrong answer, the academic genius filter he had of Huang Qinghua had been shattered.

"believe."

Huang Qinghua stated firmly, "But not this year."

"Chen Mo only joined the math competition team this year, and if he can already win the provincial first prize, then what have all those people who started training for math competitions in junior high school been doing for nothing?"

Zhou Hao, who happened to be passing by, glanced in their direction and his expression darkened, as if he had been offended.

"What did he mean? I didn't say anything to him, so why is he glaring at me?"

Huang Qinghua asked innocently.

"come on!"

"come on!"

Chen Mo's other two roommates in room 304 also cheered her on.

Their expressions toward Chen Mo were complicated. In the days following the entrance exam, although they didn't show it, they did look down on Chen Mo in their hearts, thinking that his grades were too bad and that it would be embarrassing to share a dorm room with someone like him.

However, in less than two months, this guy suddenly became a top student they could only look up to.

"Thank you everyone, go back to class now."

Chen Mo waved, walked out of the school gate, and got into a minibus parked at the school gate.

The provincial competition of the National High School Mathematics League was held at Chengdu University of Science and Technology, which is only two hours away from No. 1 High School. However, the school decided to go there a day early because there had been incidents where students got carsick, which caused them to perform poorly in the exam.

The teacher leading the team this time was Zhou Zhi, and perhaps because of Chen Mo, Zhou Zhi's deputy was Hu Xin.

Judging from Hu Xin's radiant face, he was clearly very happy with this arrangement.

There were only six contestants from No. 1 High School. Besides Chen Mo and Bai Zhi, Zhou Hao also passed the test. There was also Tan Yuanguo, the senior high school student that Chen Mo always met when he got up early and returned late. There were two others that Chen Mo was not very familiar with, only knowing that one was named Zheng Lei and the other was named Yang Hongwei.

"Don't be nervous during the exam. If you encounter a question you don't know how to answer, you can leave it for later..."

Hu Xin loudly explained the precautions for the exam to the students from the front of the car. Some students leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes to rest, while others took out their textbooks to study in their spare time.

Bai Zhi looked at Chen Mo, who was engrossed in studying university physics, with a strange expression. "You have a math exam tomorrow, why are you studying physics?"

"It's important to balance work and rest."

Without turning his head, Chen Mo said, "I'll watch some physics to relax my brain."

"..."

Bai Zhi glanced at the contents of Chen Mo's textbook. The complex and intricate symbols made her scalp tingle, yet Chen Mo used them to relax his brain.

She suddenly realized just how big the gap was between herself and a true genius.

After Hu Xin finished explaining the precautions, the car fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

Besides Chen Mo, Bai Zhi, and Zhou Hao, the other three contestants are all full-time competition participants and are all senior high school students. This year is their last chance, and even though they are experienced, they still can't help but feel nervous.

Even Bai Zhi started to feel nervous in this atmosphere.

Zhou Hao glanced at the guy who was engrossed in university physics and suddenly felt that his hostility seemed a little funny.

Bai Zhi also took out her math materials, intending to study like Chen Mo, but found that she had difficulty concentrating on studying them in the car. If she couldn't focus and concentrate on studying, forcing herself to look at them would only be a self-indulgent act and wouldn't be of much use.

"This guy is a monster!"

Bai Zhi put away the documents, muttered something to herself, then simply closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and rested.

Tan Yuanguo also took out his study materials to review, and he and Chen Mo were the only ones who kept studying throughout the journey.

More than an hour later, the group got off the bus.

"Old Tan, you're really amazing. You actually learned it all the way through."

"I think I'm unlikely to pass the test as well as you this time."

Zheng Lei clicked his tongue in amazement.

Tan Yuanguo shook his head slightly, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over Chen Mo.

Only he knew that although he was looking at the materials the whole time, he could only absorb a small part of them, and his learning efficiency was less than 10% of what he would get in the classroom.

But that guy was different. Tan Yuanguo observed Chen Mo several times and found that Chen Mo's eyes were bright and he would occasionally do calculations on the draft paper. His absorbed expression was different from his forced reading.

I don't know how he did it.

It must be because I haven't tried hard enough!

Tan Yuanguo thought to himself.

After getting off the minibus, they did not go directly to the university, but instead, led by Zhou Zhi, they arrived at the Yidong International Hotel opposite the university.

The room had been booked in advance. While checking in, another group of students walked in, clearly indicating that Rongcheng No.1 Middle School was not the only one to consider the impact of long journeys.

Compared to Chen Mo and his group of six, this group was much larger, with more than twenty people.

They were wearing the uniforms of Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School, so their identities were self-evident.

Even the receptionist at the Excelsior Hotel seemed to perk up and become much more enthusiastic when she saw them.

In Chengdu, No. 7 Middle School has a great reputation, and everyone looks up to them.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, you're here so early this year?"

The teacher leading the team from No. 7 Middle School obviously recognized Zhou Zhi and greeted him with a friendly smile, without much hostility. After all, No. 7 Middle School's competitors have never been No. 1 Middle School, or rather, No. 1 Middle School is not even qualified to be their competitor.

Of the twenty-odd students from No. 7 Middle School who participated, the worst they could achieve was a second-place finish in the province, while even if just one of the six kids from No. 1 Middle School managed to get a second-place finish in the province, he would still look at them with more respect.

Their lower limit is already the ceiling of No. 1 Middle School.

Of course, if it were No. 4 Middle School here, it would be a completely different story.

"Old Huo, you seem so happy this year, you must have some good prospects."

Zhou Zhi clearly had a good relationship with the team leader from No. 7 Middle School. After responding with a smile, he looked up at the students from No. 7 Middle School behind him.
