The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

"Wow! That's so awesome!!!"

"Hahaha! Ji Bai is so domineering!"

"You've crossed a line, kid! Ugh, I can't take it anymore!"

"The key is that when he said that, his tone wasn't at all childish or pretentious. It was just a calm, understated tone, but you know he's actually capable of doing it. That's fucking terrifying!"

"You can criticize your alma mater a thousand times, but you won't allow anyone else to say a bad word about it! That's so true! As someone who graduated ten years ago, hearing that statement completely broke me!"

"Is this what a top scorer in the college entrance exam looks like? He speaks eloquently and utters memorable quotes effortlessly!"

"I'm graduating this year too, and seeing this sentence brought tears to my eyes! Our school is run-down, but I'll be the first to argue with anyone who dares to say it's bad!"

"I miss my alma mater! I miss that dilapidated playground that I cursed eight hundred times a day, I miss that homeroom teacher who dragged his feet on classes for three years, I miss that water dispenser that could never be fixed!"

"Stop talking, the person in front is already crying."

……

The live stream chat exploded with excitement!

The number of online users continues to climb.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand... In an instant, the number exceeded one hundred thousand!

Across from him, the master's student's face was ashen. He wanted to say something tough to retort, but he swallowed the words back.

He was, after all, one of Director Huang's prized students, a direct-entry PhD student in the Department of Mathematics at Aurora University, and the first author of two SCI papers. Among his peers across the country, he was among the very top.

As a result, today, in front of hundreds of thousands of people across the internet, an 18-year-old high school student pointed his finger at me and said, "You've touched a nerve."

Unfortunately, he couldn't refute it because the other party was standing on the moral high ground!

You can criticize me, but you can't criticize my alma mater!

How do you refute that?

The teachers at No. 99 Middle School felt as if they had drunk a whole bottle of ice-cold soda on a sweltering summer day, feeling refreshed from head to toe.

That was so satisfying!

The pent-up frustration of being called a "nest of snakes and rats" just now instantly burst forth!

Li Mei stood behind Ji Bai, looking at the tall figure in front of her.

She suddenly realized that this little rascal she had been teaching for three years had somehow become a whole head taller than her.

Broad shoulders, a straight back, and the faded school uniform billowing slightly in the evening breeze.

He stood there in front of her, like an unyielding wall.

Li Mei bit her lip, and the tears she had been holding back for so long finally slid silently down her cheeks.

This usually irresponsible, sarcastic boy, who was always joking around with her, stood up for her the moment she was bullied.

At this moment, a thirty-something associate professor from the High-Achieving Alliance stepped forward, his face grim, and shouted:

"Young man, don't be so hot-blooded!"

Ji Bai chuckled.

"What kind of youth isn't spirited?"

"you--!"

The associate professor was trembling with anger and was about to step forward when Director Huang raised his hand to stop him.

The deputy director of the mathematics department at Aurora University is truly remarkable in his composure; from the moment he appeared until now, his facial expression has remained within a neutral range.

Even though his student had just been humiliated, he only frowned slightly and didn't react on the spot.

Arguing with a child is dishonorable if you win, but even more shameful if you lose!

Besides, they didn't come here today to argue.

However, the gentle and magnanimous smile on his face was gone.

"Ji Bai, I'm asking you one last time: are you sure you want to accept our assessment? It's not too late to back out now!"

Ji Bai smiled, but instead of answering directly, he turned to look at Principal Wang.

"Old Wang, is everything ready?"

Principal Wang was still immersed in the lingering effect of the sentence, "You can criticize your alma mater eight hundred times a day, but you won't allow anyone else to say a bad word about it." He was already planning to frame that sentence and hang it in the principal's office.

Ji Bai's call of "Old Wang" brought him back to reality, but he didn't mind at all.

Even if you call him "Little Wang," it's still a testament to how well he, as the principal, gets along with the students, and it's the best proof of the harmonious relationship between teachers and students at No. 99 Middle School.

"Don't worry, everything is arranged!" Principal Wang said energetically, his voice booming like a bugler's.

Ji Bai then turned to Director Huang and said, "This elder of the immortal sect, please!"

Director Huang's face instantly darkened.

Elder of the Immortal Sect?

This kid's even using internet memes!

But my heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Ji Bai's confident and fearless demeanor, she suddenly felt a little panicked.

Could it be... that this kid really has real talent and skills?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How is it possible for someone to improve their score from over 300 to over 700 in just one month?

He can't lose!

If Ji Bai fails the test, although they did indeed bully the younger generation, at least they have exposed a typical case of educational fraud for the people of the whole country.

They are the heroes who exposed the scam and upheld the fairness of the college entrance examination!

But what if Ji Bai really answered them all correctly...?

Director Huang couldn't even imagine what he and his team would face next.

It will definitely be met with a nationwide outcry.

The label of academic tyrant, the reputation of Aurora University, and his own twenty years of academic reputation—all of these will be trampled underfoot by this eighteen-year-old.

Director Huang's eyes flickered for a moment, then he subtly turned his head and glanced behind him.

At the very back of the line, a middle-aged man in a dark gray T-shirt, who had been silent the whole time, nodded slightly.

No one noticed this detail.

"Then please lead the way!" Director Huang said calmly.

Principal Wang immediately led the way, followed by the leadership team of No. 99 Middle School, then the seventeen members of the High-Level Knowledge Alliance, and on both sides were live-streaming personnel holding mobile phones and gimbals.

The procession marched through the peeling paint corridor of No. 99 Middle School, their footsteps echoing in the empty teaching building.

Along the way, the classrooms on both sides of the corridor were empty; the students had already left school. Only the fluorescent tubes overhead made a slight humming sound.

Li Mei walked beside Ji Bai, pursed her lips, leaned close to Ji Bai's ear, and whispered:

"Ji Bai, are you really confident?"

Of all those present, no one knew Ji Bai better than her, his homeroom teacher.

Ji Bai is the biggest slacker in No. 99 Middle School!

Ji Bai turned his head and looked at Li Mei's exquisite face, which was so close to his.

"Teacher, you always wear loose clothes, I never knew your waist was so slim!"

Li Mei was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red, burning from the tips of her ears all the way to the base of her neck.

"Are you trying to die?"

What time is it? You still have the mind to joke around.

She was cursing, but strangely, she felt much more relaxed inside.

The fact that he can still make jokes like this shows that at least his mentality hasn't collapsed.

Before long, the group arrived at the school auditorium.

The auditorium was small and empty at the moment, except that all the fluorescent lights overhead were on, illuminating the entire space brightly.

The most eye-catching feature was the podium, where several mobile blackboards were neatly arranged, with the most succinct handwriting on them, displaying several of this year's college entrance examination questions.

The most challenging derivative problems in mathematics, the comprehensive electromagnetic induction problems in physics, the deductive reasoning problems in organic synthesis in chemistry...

These are the most difficult questions on this year's college entrance examination paper!

Everyone fell silent as they entered the auditorium.

The teachers from No. 99 Middle School stood on the left side of the stage, while the seventeen members of the High-Knowledge Alliance stood on the right side, separated by a few meters, like two armies facing each other.

Even in the live stream, the atmosphere became heavy.

"Here it comes!"

"Righteous sects besiege the Demonic Saint!"

"The holy son of a fallen sect single-handedly confronts seventeen immortals from the upper realm!"

"I bet a bag of spicy strips that Ji Bai can answer that!"

"I bet he can't answer it. I'm a high school graduate taking the college entrance exam this year, and very few people in the entire province got the last derivative question in math completely right. How can someone who only scored 47 on a mock exam explain it clearly?"

"Go, Kochi Alliance! The dignity of academia must not be violated!"

"Keep it up, Ji Bai! The spirit of those from humble backgrounds must not be trampled on!"

"Stop arguing, everyone, it's starting, it's starting!!!"
