Chapter 8: Sign Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After catching his breath, Li Chengqian began to recall the Senior High School Knowledge that he had just integrated into his memory.
The Expert level of Senior High School Knowledge enabled Li Chengqian to know all the senior high school courses like the back of his hand.
Li Chengqian had grasped all the knowledge points of every course.
Li Chengqian majored in Science, but after achieving Master level of Senior High School Knowledge skill, he also remembered everything related to the Humanities.
He even completely grasped liberal education subjects such as fine arts, music, calligraphy, sports, and technical education.
All the contents that needed to be memorized over the three years of senior high school seemed to have taken root in Li Chengian’s memory.
Li Chengqian was confident that he could easily answer any senior high school questions.
Through this Senior High School Knowledge skill, Li Chengqian finally understood the difference between the expert and master level.
At the Expert level he had memorized all the content and knowledge points . He could answer any question as long as there were similar ones in the textbooks.
As for the Master level, besides the Expert level abilities, the most important thing was the ability to truly digest and internalize the knowledge.
At the Master level, regardless of whether there were similar questions in the textbooks, he could answer a question as long as the contents was not beyond the scope of the course.
In fact, even if it was a question that was beyond the scope of the course, Li Chengqian could still quickly answer it if he could make inferences based on existing knowledge.
Li Chengqian only took a few seconds to sort out this harvest of knowledge.
Then, out of habit, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch.
Only then did he realize that there were only three minutes left until the end of the evening self-study session.
“What a huge loss... I’ve wasted a class.” Li Chengqian’s heart ached. 40 minutes. If he had listened attentively to the class, he could have obtained 400 experience value points.
With 400 experience value points, he could have upgraded his Student profession by at least one level.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I can’t waste time. I want to listen to the class properly. I want the experience value points.” After Li Chengqian secretly said this, he looked at the podium with steely determination.
At this moment, mathematics cum technology teacher Tian Wenming was explaining an Olympiad question.
The entire blackboard was filled with the solution to this question.
Teacher Tian Wenming was giving his best on the podium, trying to explain the solution to his students in the simplest way possible.
However, other than a few good students, the others were all not following.
Li Chenggqin’s gaze fell on the question. Just by reading the question once, five different solutions came naturally to his mind.
In his mind, each solution had detailed steps.
The answer appeared in his mind after thinking for a split second.
Li Chengqian’s eyes turned to the bottom of the blackboard.
The final answer was there.
It was the same as what he had obtained through mental arithmetic.
Li Chengqian’s face was beaming.
Then, Li Chengqian looked at Teacher Tian Wenming’s step-by-step solution.
Li Chengqian frowned because he realized that the solution that Teacher Tian Wenming used was the most complicated of the five methods he knew. It was the trickiest method that was most prone to errors.
He shook his head and whispered to himself, “Although the solution is based on common knowledge points and is not beyond the syllabus, the steps are too complicated and the thought process is too convoluted. It’s really too difficult. How can ordinary people understand it?”
Li Chengqian’s soft words fell into Jian Qingli’s ears. Her originally distressed face twitched, and a sneer appeared on her face.
She had been listening attentively to the solution and was still a little confused. There were many aspects of the solution that she couldn’t grasp.
Li Chengqian had been sleeping soundly since class started.
How could he possibly have understood the solution to the question by just taking a glance after waking up?
How was this possible!
“Without the teacher’s explanation, even if the standard solution was placed in front of you, you wouldn’t understand it.”
“Li Chengqian’s grades have always been bad, yet he dared think he could understand the solution himself...” Jian Qingli shook her head lightly. After despising him in her heart, she shifted her focus back to the questions on the blackboard.
Through this question, Li Chengqian got an intuitive sense of the amount of knowledge he had currently grasped.
He estimated that even if he were to take the university entrance examination now, he would score at least 730 marks.
He wouldn’t go so far as to think he would score full marks because there were more subjective topics like essay writing.
“...Alright, that’s all for this class!” After the bell rang, Teacher Tian Wenming ended the class.
The quiet classroom started bustling instantly.
“Students, quieten down. There’s something else I want to announce...” Teacher Tian Wenming, his big belly bulging out, said with a straight face. His bright eyes swept across the classroom.
He had a very special ability to be serious and expressionless no matter what he was talking about.
This was especially so when he was cracking a joke. When others are bent over laughing, he would still keep his poker face. No matter how high a threshold someone had for jokes, he could make him laugh his head off.
“This year’s Junior Informatics Programming Competition has begun. Students who are especially good at programming come to me to sign up for it.” Other than being a math teacher for Grade 12 Class 5, he was also a technical teacher, although he had never taught technical classes...
“You can come to me now, or tomorrow.”
“The top 50 teams of this competition, within the national competition zone, will be granted direct admission to Divine Dragon University...”
When he said this, many students exclaimed in awe.
“There’s actually such a route for admission to Divine Dragon University.” This was the first time many students had heard of this competition.
...
“If I had known about this competition, I would have spent all the time I used on playing games to learn programming.”
“Teacher, I want to participate in the competition! With my intelligence, I think I can learn programming now.”
Amidst the commotion, Teacher Tian Wenming continued calmly, “Anyone can sign up.”
“But our school has a limited number of slots.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s why we will organize selection tests for students who sign up.”
“The tests are very difficult. The main content is programming in C language.”
“If you’re just an amateur, or if you are planning to learn at the last minute, don’t waste my time.”
Instantly, many students who were eager to try went silent.
This was because while they knew what programming was about, none of them had ever learned proper programming.
After Tian Wenming finished speaking, his gaze swept across everyone again. He asked, “Does anyone want to sign up?”
“Teacher, I want to sign up.” Chen Chunan raised his hand. He was the person who had just said that he was smart and could learn programming in time for the competition.
...
“Chen Chunan, answer my question first. What is a pointer?” Tian Wenming asked with a straight face.
“What on earth...” Chen Chunan was stunned. How would he know this?
“Sit down. You’ve been eliminated,” Tian Wenming said seriously.
“Teacher Tian, didn’t you say that the selection tests are tomorrow?” Chen Chunan said indignantly.
“Yes, but you have to pass my selection first,” Tian Wenming said seriously.
“Damn!” Chen Chunan was mad and said aggrievedly, “Teacher, you didn’t say so earlier.”
“Yes, I’m saying it now!” Tian Wenming was unmoved and replied seriously.
“Haha!” The students in the classroom were all amused by Tian Wenming’s serious reply. They were all tickled.
“Does anyone else want to sign up?” Tian Wenming looked especially innocent, as if he didn’t know what his students were laughing about.
With Chen Chunan’s encounter earlier, who else would raise their hands? The entire classroom was silent.
Li Chengqian didn’t move at all. He had learned computing basics, operating system principles, and assembly language. As for C language, he hadn’t started learning it yet. Even if he stood up now, he wouldn’t be able to pass Teacher Tian’s test.
Jian Qingli had been observing Li Chengqian. Seeing that Li Chengqian hadn’t stood up, she shook her head again.
“He had bragged earlier that he wanted to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Now, he can’t even sign up.”
“Haha... Ridiculous.”
