The pupils of the class clenched as the Joint Examination of the Hundred Schools of the Four Provinces was approaching!
The exam a month ago was still fresh in the students' minds.Four provinces and one hundred schools, sharing the same test paper.It was a devilish test paper created by gold medal teachers and senior professors from each province, with difficult questions, novel question types, and a staggering amount of questions!
In that exam, students who could normally score five hundred points scored less than four hundred points!
And now, the director even wanted to choose the hardest fill-in-the-blank question in the four provinces and one hundred schools joint exam to test Chu Yi!
The director picked up the chalk and straightedge and began to make a diagram on the blackboard.It was a puzzle combining images, three cylinders stacked on top of each other, a diagonal cut cutting them off to reveal an irregular cut.
"Find the function of these two lines."The director bolded the two lines on the graph.
The class was stunned!The geometry was dizzying to look at; what the heck was three columns stacked on top of each other?What the heck is a diagonal tangent?What the hell is a functional equation for a line!
The mouths of the scum and weak students in the back row were wide open, completely stunned.
Although the bullies had already prepared draft paper and pens, they were slow to start their calculations because they didn't even understand the graphs, so how could they solve the problems?
On the podium, Chu Yi was dumbfounded, looking at the diagram without saying a word.
The classmates exchanged words:
"Chu Yi is stupid."
"Chu Yi was driven crazy by the problem."
"This kind of divine topic, who can solve it!"
"The director really is still ginger is old and hot, one question doesn't work and then another one, specializing in all kinds of disobedience!"
"This is good, go home to reflect for a week, write down the punishment."
"You say Chuyi bragged so much, why bother?Isn't this lifting a stone and hitting his own foot?"
"If Chu Yi can solve this problem, I'll eat compulsory math I on the spot!"
The three school masters in the front row looked at each other with "can't do it" written in their eyes.
This question was even more difficult than the last one, the last one we could at least understand the title, while this one directly makes people unable to understand the diagram!
The director looked at us and said, "You have five minutes."
Just then, Chu Yi suddenly waved his hand and said, "No need."
Everyone stared at Chu Yi, was he going to give up?
However, in the next second, his actions made everyone's jaws drop!He actually picked up the chalk directly and quickly wrote on the blackboard.A line of equations jumped out at him:
"x²/4+y²/3=1."
The answer was given directly!
The class was shocked.They then reacted to the fact that those two minutes just now when Chu Yi stared at the blackboard without moving, it wasn't because he didn't know how to do it, but that he was doing mental arithmetic!Now the results came straight out!
"Right, teacher?"Chu Yi twisted his head to look at the grade director and repeated the answer, "The square of x divided by 4, plus the square of y divided by 3, equals 1."
The director's expression became complicated, there was shock, there was doubt, but more than anything, there was incredulity.After a long time, he nodded hesitantly, "That's the answer."
The whole class was stunned!
The class teacher was also stunned!
Even the homeroom teacher who followed the director was stunned!
Such a difficult question, and in less than two minutes, without even having to make a draft or do an algorithm, directly calculating it out mentally?Is this brain a computer?
"Then please ask the teacher for the third question."Chu Yi said calmly.
The director shook his head, "There's no need for a third question.The difficulty coefficient of these two questions in the exam back then was 0.005, which means that five students out of a thousand could get it right.The fact that you can do it is already enough to prove your strength."
"I'm sorry, Chu Yi student.I apologize."The Head of Grade bowed slightly and expressed his apology.
The students in the class stared with wide eyes, disbelief written all over their faces.
What was happening before their eyes, could it be true?That Chu Yi, who was always at the bottom of the math scores, had actually answered that prohibitively difficult question, and had made the always stern grade director apologize with a heartfelt apology?A teacher apologizing to his student?This is really unbelievable.
Chu Yi gently put down the chalk, patted the chalk dust on his hands, and calmly walked off the podium.
At the same time, the system's voice resounded in his mind:
[Mission completed, reward issued, High Intelligence experience period extended by one day]
Chu Yi nodded his head in satisfaction.Originally, he had only come up here to prove his innocence, but he didn't expect to easily do two questions, but also let the IQ experience period be extended.This deal was simply too cost-effective!However, the only regret is that this reward seems to be a little small, only extended by one day.Hey, the system was really stingy.He wasn't looking for ten days and half a month of high intelligence experience, even if it could be extended by three or four days or a week, it would be good!
However, before Chu Yi could return to his seat, he was called by the grade director again.
"Student Chu Yi, I have something I want to ask you."The director asked suspiciously, "You are so good at math, why do you fail every test?"
This question made Chu Yi freeze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
The students in the class also gazed at him, expecting his answer.They had originally viewed him with the exact same kind of contempt for unthinking school scum, but now many had changed their views.They realized that this so-called bottom of the class was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface!
The whole class waited for an answer, the class teacher was also waiting for an answer, and even the grade level director was also waiting for an answer.
Chu Yi took a deep breath, flashed through multiple possible explanations in his mind, and finally decided to go out on a limb!
"Actually, I have always possessed a very good level of math."He opened his mouth, "But since my first year of high school, I've been deliberately hiding my strength.Every time I took a test, I would write the really correct answer on the draft paper, and then write some random wrong answers on the test paper."
This answer stunned the class.The expression of hiding strength in exams was usually just a joke, and very few people actually did it.Could it be that Chu Yi had really hidden his strength?Why would he do that?Deliberately scoring low on an exam and sticking to it for three whole years?Why on earth?
The homeroom teacher couldn't help but ask, "Why are you doing this?Is there any use in hiding your strength?"
Chu Yi laughed bitterly in his heart.He had wanted to make up a random reason to muddle through, but he didn't expect the class teacher to ask after him.He didn't want to reveal the secret about the system, after all, it was too bizarre and no one would believe it!
"I realized when I was in middle school that people like me are especially prone to complacency."He explained, "Once I did well on a certain test, I would become lax and my grades would slip.So when I got to high school, I decided to do poorly on every test as a way to motivate myself to stay awake."
The homeroom teacher and grade head looked at each other, seeing surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.Neither of them had expected this student to be so intelligent!
"Are you saying that only math is hiding its strength, or all subjects?"The Head of Grade curiously pursued the question.
Chu Yi hesitated for a moment.He had originally planned to only hide his strength in math, but since he had already come this far, he felt that he could be a little more bold.So he gathered enough courage to answer, "Actually, I'm doing very well in all my subjects.Starting from this exam, I will no longer hide my strength and will do my best to get good grades!"
As soon as the words fell, the system's voice rang out again in his head:
[Trigger Mission: Ranking Reversal]
[Mission Description: Since you have already boasted, you can't easily take it back.In order to maintain your dignity and reputation, you need to tell your teacher, "I'm doing very well in all my subjects, and I'll do my best in the next exams," and then achieve high scores in the next school exams!
