A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

I finally solved the sixth question.

This is an extremely niche problem involving Bolzano properties in higher-order real analysis.

"Depend on!"

Entropy, after seeing the garbled characters on the screen, suddenly swore.

"How did the difficulty level increase so quickly? There's no buffer at all! This question is definitely harder than the final question I got an A on!"

Click.

However, this time, even when faced with a problem that would have made doctoral students scratch their heads.

Su Hao chose the answer without hesitation.

Question 7, Question 8, Question 9...

After answering correctly in a row, the system seemed to get stuck in a logical deadlock, and the loading time became extremely long.

After a long time, the tenth and final question finally appeared, as if it had been a difficult birth.

"Um?"

Looking at the questions on the screen, Su Hao showed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Can't you solve this problem?"

Root and Entropy pressed for answers anxiously.

"No. Rather, there is no correct answer among the four options for this question."

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Hao swiped the mouse over all the options and decisively clicked the "Force Submit" button in the upper right corner.

Click.

Thump, thump, boom—.

Accompanied by upbeat sound effects, the giant hourglass in the center of the screen began to spin wildly again to load.

[Calculating new player test scores.......]

[Accuracy: 100%]

[Average response time: 4.2 seconds]

[WARNING: Due to extremely abnormal data, the system is unable to assess your initial rank ▶ Forced switch to cross-rank matchmaking]

"Unable to assess?"

Cyber ​​Fox stared in astonishment.

call!

Entropy crossed his arms and whistled.

"Wow, that's awesome, bro! Looks like your insane performance completely cracked the underlying code!"

It completely exceeded the system's preset scoring limit!

[Redirecting to the advanced testing room.]

[System Warning: After entering this stage, the penalty mechanism for incorrect questions will be greatly strengthened, and the system will adaptively match you with subjective problem-solving questions that match your ability.]

In addition, the quiz process may take a considerable amount of time, so please start the challenge only if you have sufficient time.

Entropy, unable to contain his elation, shouted out:

"Holy crap, I've been directly placed into the top-tier ranked pool across the entire server! The system actually skipped all those low-rank, noob games?"

Finally, Su Hao's overwhelming initial ranking was born!

The first player in Logia's question bank system history to achieve the ultimate, absurd feat of bypassing all lower-ranked matches and directly jumping into the [S-tier] ranking pool with a blank account—

born!

As soon as the result appeared, the previously grayed-out badge in the upper right corner of the screen began to flash wildly.

The golden light was dazzling!

[Initial rating: S]

[Player Log: Achieved S-rank difficulty on Day 1.]

"Holy crap! They actually ranked it straight to S?"

Root, stunned, suddenly pushed back his chair and stood up, shouting.

"Quick! Check if the leaderboard has been updated!"

Crackle, crackle.

The rapid clatter of keyboard keys filled the air.

The three of them bumped their heads together like groundhogs fighting over food.

They stared intently at the screen, crowding forward to check the leaderboard.

Page refreshed.

The name at the end of the first page shimmered with a dazzling, eerie blue light.

[100th Place: Su Hao/S/MIT/CN/901.5]

The three of them immediately burst into exclamations of surprise.

The room was instantly filled with atavistic ape-like cries.

"Oh my god, am I dreaming?!"

"They've already broken into the top 100! This is a global ranking!"

"The S-rank is notoriously difficult to obtain; even those crazy test-takers might not be able to get past the threshold after three months of grinding!"

Is it difficult?

Su Hao scratched his head and said in an extremely natural tone:

"With everyone's effort, we should all be able to reach this level, right?"

He really wasn't joking.

In Su Hao's simple and unpretentious worldview, as long as you follow the logic, these questions are no different from one plus one equals two.

Su Hao genuinely believed this.

The three of them looked at him as if he were a monster.

A low, gritting mutter drifted from somewhere:

"Pretentious show-off."

"Um?"

Su Hao looked up in confusion, completely baffled as to why they looked like they wanted to strangle him.

He glanced at the time and closed his laptop.

"Not playing anymore?"

"Um."

Su Hao answered casually as he put on his coat.

"I have to pick my sister up from school today."

Let's play again when we have time. While doing the problems just now, I was quite curious about how AI's problem-solving approach differed from humans; it was quite interesting.

hula.

The door was pushed open.

As soon as I stepped out of the teaching building, a biting gust of wind hit me in the face.

Su Hao shrank his neck.

"It's quite cold today, isn't it?"

He quickly put on his helmet, tightened his thick gloves, and stepped onto his bicycle.

He tightened the backpack straps, slammed the pedal down, and the icy sea breeze stung his nose.

"Hiss... I'm freezing."

Each rapid breath brought out a thick white mist.

The fog condensed into a thin layer of frost on the helmet visor.

After leaving the campus, he pedaled furiously and arrived at the station in no time.

After waiting a short while, a yellow school bus slowly drove in.

The car door opened, and a bunch of chattering little radish heads poured out.

Su Hui, whose English is now quite fluent, was smiling broadly as she high-fived several blonde, blue-eyed friends as she stepped off the bus.

"elder brother!"

Su Hui ran over carrying a beaver plush toy.

Looking at his sister's expression, Su Hao almost couldn't help but laugh.

The little girl was dressed in so many layers of clothes that she was swollen all over and could barely walk.

Because the clothes were too thick, she couldn't put her arms down with them spread out.

The way it wobbled and waddled over looked just like a chubby little penguin.

Su Hao hurried over and reached out to pinch her rosy cheeks, which were flushed from the wind.

"Hey, look whose little chubby penguin this is."

"Did Mom dress you up fully again today?"

Su Hui pouted, her face full of resentment:

"That's right, she wore an undershirt, a sweater and a vest, and then a big down jacket on top."

My arms are so sore I can't even put them down. My classmates are even teasing me, asking if I'm going on an Arctic expedition.

Su Hao knelt down and brushed a few snowflakes off her shoulders.

Do you remember when you lived in your hometown town?

You used to dress like this on snowy days, all bundled up like a little dumpling.

Su Hui nodded without hesitation, her eyes sparkling.

"Yeah! Of course I remember. Back then, my brother and I used to have snowball fights in the yard and build a really big snowman."

Su Hao's eyes were gentle.

"And what happens after you get home?"

"Mom made us hot cocoa and roasted sweet potatoes!"

It seemed as if they were savoring that unique sweetness.

Su Hui's tense face completely relaxed, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Su Hao's face also showed a look of relief.

Yes.

It turns out that this warm memory wasn't just a one-man show for him.

This realization brought him immense comfort.

Su Hao carefully wrapped his sister's clothes tightly to prevent any drafts.

He gently and carefully sealed the gaps in the wool scarf, keeping out all the cold from the outside.
