Just started high school, and was assigned a self-discipline system.

Chapter 123 Bi-monthly Exam: Is this a bit of a gamble?

The first exam was Chinese, and there's not much to say about Chinese; everyone's level is about the same. Unless someone is exceptionally talented, it's hard to create a significant difference in this subject. But today, Lin Ye had a completely different feeling while doing this test.

It went very smoothly. He had barely finished reading the questions when the answers automatically appeared in his mind. This was one of the benefits of enhanced memory. He finished all the questions in just one and a half hours. The whole process was as smooth as having a bowel movement, without any stagnation.

He didn't hand in his paper early; instead, he checked it and waited until the exam time was over before handing it in with everyone else.

Next was a subject he was somewhat good at: math. Yes, Lin Ye's mind was actually very quick when it came to math. Since junior high school, he had rarely scored below 135 in math.

Now his mind was working even faster, and soon the solutions to these questions appeared in his mind. In the two-hour exam, he finished the entire paper in just one hour and twelve minutes.

He then spent another 15 minutes checking his paper again. After finding no problems, he waited to hand in his paper. He felt that he should score no less than 140 points on this exam, and even a perfect score was not impossible.

The main reason is that No. 1 Middle School has only been in session for half a month. Even if the teaching pace is fast, the knowledge being taught so far is relatively simple. Therefore, this exam should be considered the simplest exam in the next three years.

Time flew by and it was afternoon. Next up was the subject Lin Ye was most looking forward to.

That was English. The reason why Lin Ye could only rank in the middle to lower range at No. 1 High School was largely because English dragged him down. On the 150-point English test, he only scored 101 points in the high school entrance exam, which was far behind his other subjects.

Before entering the examination room, Lin Ye saw Ye Yihan staring blankly into space.

As the other party's boss, out of consideration for his employees, he walked over with some curiosity.

"What's wrong, Yihan? Are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Ye Yihan quickly shook her head.

"I don't feel uncomfortable."

"Oh, so you didn't do well on the test this time?"

"No, I'm just a little worried. After all, this is my first exam in high school, and I don't know how I'll do."

"Oh, it's nothing. It's normal to feel uncomfortable at first. I'm not used to it today either, but I'll get used to it."

"Yes, you have a point."

Ye Yihan naturally wouldn't refute Lin Ye's words.

Soon the afternoon English exam began.

Although there was no longer any vocabulary memorization task this week, he had kept it in mind, so he had now mastered a large vocabulary. When he received the test paper, Lin Ye looked at it and had a completely different feeling.

In the past, when he took English exams, he basically had to guess, and the results were always blurry. After each exam, he would be completely disoriented. But now, perhaps because of his increased vocabulary, he can look at this English exam as easily as he looks at a Chinese exam.

At first glance, it looked very smooth, and he quickly started answering the questions. As a result, he finished the English test paper in just one hour.

Next are the remaining six exams, since there are nine subjects to study in the first year of high school.

After the exam, Lin Ye let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, Lao Liang walked into the classroom and said to everyone, "Alright, students, you've all worked hard these past few days on the exam. As before, there is no evening self-study tonight. You can go back to your dorms or go home to get some rest. Remember to be on time for morning self-study tomorrow."

After saying that, Lao Liang left, and the students in the class cheered. Although it was just a few hours of vacation without evening self-study, everyone was very happy.

Liu Zihan quickly came over.

"Hey! Lao Lin, how do you feel about your exam results? I feel like I did incredibly well this time. I'm definitely going to be in the top ten of the class."

Hearing Liu Zihan's words, Lin Ye thought about his performance in this exam. Although his scores in the three main subjects of Chinese, Mathematics and English were much better than in the past.

But the other six subjects were a different story. Although he listened attentively in class and would occasionally look at the material when he had free time, he wasn't entirely satisfied with his overall performance. So Lin Ye sighed and said, "I'm not sure, but I guess it's alright."

Seeing Lin Ye's lack of confidence, Liu Zihan suddenly had a feeling that Lin Ye's academic performance might actually not be very good.

Thinking of this, Liu Zihan couldn't help but get excited, because ever since she met Lin Ye, Lin Ye's performance in every aspect had been far superior to hers. Now, there was finally one area where he was no match for her.

He immediately wanted to go up and strike up a conversation.

"Liao Lin, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet? What kind of bet?"

"It's simple. We'll see who gets a better score on this exam. The loser will cover the winner's day shift for a month."

Upon hearing Liu Zihan's audacious request, Lin Ye's lips curled up slightly.

"You dare challenge me?"

"What, you're too scared to accept the challenge?"

"Heh, I'll avoid your sharp edge. Let's bet!"

Li Jing also joined in at this moment.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's Sister Tianwang. We're making a bet to see who gets better grades. The loser will do the chores for the winner for a month."

"Heavenly King" is a nickname Liu Zihan gave to Li Jing, inspired by the pun on the character Li Jing.

Fortunately, Li Jing has a good personality. Even though she was given such a non-girlish nickname, she only gave Liu Zihan an elbow when Liu Zihan called her that for the first time, and then she accepted it happily.

"Good grief, they didn't call on me for this kind of thing. With me included, the one with the worst grades, I ended up doing all the cleaning duties for the other two!"

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Liu Zihan hesitated slightly.

"Isn't this a bit too risky a gamble?"

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

"This constitutes the crime of organizing gambling."

Li Jing reached out and hooked her arms around their necks, then pulled their faces close to hers.

Then he whispered, "Listen, this bet is between heaven, earth, you, and me. Absolutely no third person can know, understand?"

"okok."

The two nodded in agreement. Ye Yihan watched this scene from a distance, feeling inexplicably envious. She really envied Li Jing, a straightforward girl who could always naturally build relationships with her friends, unlike herself who was always so hesitant.
