179 Competition

At the edge of the hall, many of the high school teachers were watching the scene in front of them with great interest. This was what they delighted in seeing. In their opinion, the more of such benign academic competition, the better!

Only in this way could the educational standards of M City continue to improve and develop in the long run.

Lin Hao naturally wouldn’t miss such an exciting scene. He was chatting with his good friend, Old Yang, while watching Chu Ning and Bai Yu answer the questions.

“Hey, Old Lin, didn’t I hear that there’s a second-year named Yan Shen who does well? Why don’t I see him? Where is he?”

Said the teacher who had made a bet with Lin Hao.

“Yan Shen’s situation is a little special, but he’s here this time. Apart from Chu Ning, he’s also one of our school’s candidates for the awards. This child is a little partial, but physics is his forte. If he’s properly nurtured, I feel that he’s no worse than Bai Yu. However, with his family’s background, whether he goes to university or not doesn’t have much of an impact on him. Sooner or later, he’ll have to go back and inherit the family business.”

Lin Hao said with some emotion, the two of them chatting in this manner.

When close to an hour had passed, Chu Ning put down her pen.

She had already completed the paper. Actually, she could have done so ten minutes earlier, but when almost fifty minutes had been up, Bai Yu had still been writing non-stop on the draft paper. Chu Ning had no choice but to slow down and wait a while for him.

However, even though Chu Ning had slowed down, Bai Yu still could not keep up…

Although Ye Ting had a faint smile on her face, she was already mocking Bai Yu in her heart. “Useless.”

In order to make this exam more challenging, the physics questions that the two of them chose were very difficult. It could be said that some questions would not appear in the usual exams. Although Bai Yu could answer them, the colossal amount of calculations still slowed his speed greatly.

Finally, when there were only ten minutes remaining, Bai Yu heaved a long sigh of relief.

He had completed the entire test paper in such a manner that it did not need to be checked.

However, when he raised his head and saw Chu Ning, he realized that she was already sitting there leisurely, and was even chatting with the classmates around her…

As for her test paper, it had been handed over to the lead teacher. The rules of this competition were that both of their test papers would be graded by the lead teachers. Only in this way could they maintain fairness to the greatest extent.

Chu Ning even smiled sweetly at him. In Bai Yu’s eyes, this smile was filled with confidence and elegance.

Bai Yu also handed in his test paper. This was the first competition between the two Gods of learning in M City.

Under the public proofreading of the standard answers by many teachers, in less than ten minutes, both their test papers had been graded.

“Chu Ning, full marks. Bai Yu, full marks.”

A teacher smiled and read out the results of the competition. The two of them were equally matched in this competition and both had full marks!

This result immediately caused a huge uproar among all the students present, and the entire hall became lively once more. However, Ye Ting looked at everything in front of her and quietly left to return to her own room.

Her action this time had not been deliberately planned, and it had just happened by chance. Therefore, she did not expect to embarrass Chu Ning. Ye Ting knew that her plan to target Chu Ning would be coming up!

“Don’t worry, Chu Ning. Let’s take it slow. I have patience and time.”

Ye Ting thought to herself as she glanced coldly at Chu Ning, who was surrounded by the crowd.

“Actually, I lost because you took less time than me to finish completing this paper,” Bai Yu walked to Chu Ning and said seriously.

“I don’t think so. The time limit is one and a half hours, and the time we took is not beyond this range. Moreover, in the exam, the process of the answer is not important. What is important is the result. And the result is that our scores are the same. All roads lead to Rome. Bai Yu, don’t bother too much about the process, as long as the result is correct.”

Chu Ning seemed to be explaining to Bai Yu, but in fact, she could tell at a glance that Bai Yu had some bad habits when answering.

He demanded too much perfection in the process of answering. Even for relatively simple questions, every step had to be written down on the draft paper. This was a waste of time, and was meaningless.

After Bai Yu heard Chu Ning’s words, he immediately froze on the spot.

Chu Ning’s words could be said to have hit the nail on the head.

Because he was a perfectionist, he had to list the process in detail for every question, even if it was not necessary.
