Chapter 12: Li Chengqian Is Bragging
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The afternoon school bell rang. Two lines of translucent notifications flashed before Li Chengqian’s eyes.
[You have listened to the class for 150 minutes. You have received 1,500 experience value points. You have 3,829 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
[You have read for 20 minutes. You have received 20 experience value points. You have 3,849 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
Li Chengqian resolutely suppressed the urge to open his personal interface. When he was upgrading the proficiency level of his Senior High School Knowledge skill the day before, he fainted as he was overwhelmed by the gush of knowledge. He wasted a lesson as a result of that.
Therefore, he was prepared to upgrade only after he got home at night. By that time, even if he really fainted, he would treat it as sleep and he won’t waste his classroom hours.
“Compared to listening in class, the experience value points gained from reading seemed insignificant. I can’t waste a minute of time in class.” Looking at the amount of experience value points gained from listening in class and reading, Li Chengqian sighed in his heart and once again firmly resolved to pay attention in class.
After Li Chengqian finished sighing, he quickly ran towards the canteen. “If this continues, I might be nicknamed Good-For-Nothing.”
“I have to quickly upgrade the level of my Student profession. After the Professions Shop has been activated, I’ll immediately take up a profession that can increase my stamina.” After his Intelligence Stats increased, his food consumption had increased, and he was especially hungry. His stomach was rumbling now.
At six in the evening, Li Chengqian walked into Tianyi High School’s information classroom to take the exam.
Teacher Tian Wenming stood on the podium with a stack of test papers in his hand and announced the rules.
“Everyone knows the ground rules of an exam, so I won’t reiterate it.”
“There are surveillance cameras in this classroom. Don’t take any chances.”
“The exam time is one hour.”
“It’s so difficult.” The test paper was handed to an examinee. Someone exclaimed after flipping through it.
They originally thought that the exam was only on the C language, but after the test papers were distributed, they realized that it was not the case at all.
The hardware principles of computers, basic operations of computers, and even assembly languages were all covered in the test paper.
Bi Jialiang also flipped through the exam paper immediately.
It was very difficult!
However, it was good that it was difficult. Only then could he widen the gap between him and the others!
At the thought of this, Bi Jialiang was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled confidently.
To him, the test paper was very difficult, but to the other students, this test paper was even more difficult.
Originally, he wanted to see Li Chengqian’s reaction after receiving the test paper.
But Li Chengqian’s position happened to be behind him, and there was another person in between. He turned his head back to look, and there was no way he couldn’t see Li Chengqian’s current expression.
However, Bi Jialiang imagined that Li Chengqian must be having a hard time.
In actual fact, Li Chengqian’s face was calm as he slowly wrote his name on the test paper before looking at the contents.
Reading the questions from beginning to end, all the answers to all the questions had already appeared in Li Chengqian’s mind.
He picked up a pen and started to answer the questions without thinking.
Teacher Tian Wenming was originally standing on the podium to supervise the examination. When he saw that the others were still scratching their ears and frowning in deep thought, Li Chengqian had already started to answer the questions on the test paper with apparent ease. He couldn’t help but feel curious.
With his hands behind his back, he strolled over behind Li Chengqian and looked at his test paper.
At this moment, he saw that Li Chengqian didn’t even read or think about the questions. He very quickly wrote down the answers to the multiple choice questions, at a speed of almost a question every second.
It seemed like he was randomly choosing answers based on his intuition!
Tian Wenming frowned and was about to say, “You can’t carve rotten wood.”
At this moment, Li Chengqian had already moved on to the fill-in-the-blank section. He was still scribbling as fast as lightning. He filled in the blanks without having to think.
Tian Wenming casually took a glance and was taken aback.
The answers Li Chengqian filled in were actually correct!
Tian Wenming looked at the ten fill-in-the-blank questions one by one. They were all correct!
Li Chengqian moved on to the comprehensive questions right after.
Li Chengqian didn’t even need to think as he quickly wrote down the answers.
The step-by-step process, the answer, and even the format of the code were especially accurate and impeccable.
Tian Wenming was stunned.
The thought of cheating flashed through Tian Wenming’s mind, but he instantly rejected it.
This was because ever since the test paper was printed, it had never left his hands. It was impossible for it to be leaked.
“I didn’t expect this kid to be so talented at programming despite doing so badly in his studies!” Tian Wenming’s impression of Li Chengqian instantly changed.
However, because Li Chengqian answered the questions so easily and quickly, Tian Wenming muttered to himself doubtfully, “Could it be that the questions I set this time were too simple?”
“It’s not about the difficulty of the questions, it’s about this kid! This kid is very good at computers.” Tian Wenming looked around and finally relaxed when he saw the other students frowning and thinking hard.
Li Chengqian finished answering all the questions and checked the test paper. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he said, “I should be able to get full marks!”
He looked up at the clock and saw that there were still forty minutes until the end of the exam.
Li Chengqian didn’t want to waste the remaining 40 minutes. That was 40 experience value points.
Even going out to chat with Ding Ling was a better option than sitting here.
Therefore, Li Chengqian raised his hand and looked at Teacher Tian Wenming. “Teacher, can we hand in the paper in advance?”
“No problem!” Tian Wenming picked up Li Chengqian’s paper and brought it to the podium. He flipped through it with a serious expression.
Multiple choice questions, all correct!
Fill-in-the-blank questions, all correct!
Comprehensive questions, all correct!
Tian Wenming kept a straight face, but he was a little shocked in his heart. “Li Chengqian’s theoretical knowledge is too solid. It’s even more solid than Bi Jialiang!”
When Li Chengqian handed in his paper, most people felt that it was because he didn’t know how to do questions and thus chose not to waste time by handing it in.
Bi Jialiang raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian who was walking out. There was contempt in his eyes and a sneer on his face. “And here I am wondering how good he was. Seems like he wasn’t any good!”
At the entrance of the computer classroom, many students were reading and waiting for the exam to end.
Ding Ling and Jian Qingli were among them. The two of them were chatting, and they looked like especially good friends.
Seeing Li Chengqian stride out, Ding Ling asked with concern, “Why are you so fast? It’s only been 20 minutes and you’re already out?”
“The test paper was relatively easy, and I was especially lucky. They’re all questions I’ve seen in books. I barely need to think to solve them all.” Li Chengqian had a smile on his face.
Jian Qingli pursed her lips as she stood at the side, not believing a single word Li Chengqian said.
Easy? Impossible!
Bi Jialiang had studied Tian Wenming’s question setting method.
Ever since Tian Wenming took over the management of this competition, every year’s exam questions had been randomly selected from past year questions of Junior Informatics Programming Competition.
The Junior Informatics Programming Competition was notoriously difficult!
How could it be easy!
Li Chengqian was obviously bragging!
