Chapter 14

The next day, Zhai Da continues to seriously play the role of a "high school student."

The situation is relatively smooth.

Except for people asking him every few days if the "confession and fainting" is true.

Yesterday was the first day of class after the second mock exam. Everyone was wary of whether Zhai Da would be too fragile and "fly a kite" at the slightest disagreement, so they restrained themselves.

Now that they find Zhai Da is very "resilient," they are even more unscrupulous.

The spread and vitality of this trivial matter in the school have exceeded Zhai Da's previous expectations.

One day?

Anyway, he doesn't have to write it.

Another thing is that after the chance encounter at the cold noodle shop, he vaguely feels that Lin Shuyao also secretly observes him. Often during breaks, when he looks up, he finds this girl looking this way.

He even once thought that Lin Shuyao was playing "fishing law enforcement" in this childish way, such as "how would you know I'm looking at you if you weren't looking at me," "you looked at me, so you must like me," "if you like me, you're not allowed to like anyone else," "lend me 2000, I need to go to the hospital," and a series of other developments...

But Zhai Da won't take the bait; he is very busy.

After adapting to his high school student identity, he immediately started the most important thing.

That is, planning his "studies."

As a reborn person with a cheat, studies are not his only card, but since this card is still in his hand and hasn't been played, he might as well think about how to maximize its use.

After experiencing every subject for two days, Zhai Da is clear about the problems he needs to solve now.

Devastating problems.

According to unreliable calculations, if he were to take the college entrance exam now, he could probably score over 150 points.

Total score.

"No big problem, the advantage is with me this time."

Returning home, Ms. Yu is not working overtime today, so Zhai Da can eat his favorite braised pork with bean curd knots and salt-water prawns.

After fainting once, in addition to his pocket money increasing, Yu Xiaoli has indeed put more effort into his diet.

Which makes Zhai Da, who was reborn with a little bit of fat, worry about his future weight...

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhai Da says he wants to go back to his room to study early. Yu Xiaoli obviously doesn't quite believe it, but she doesn't say much.

If in the past, Zhai Da saying he wanted to study hard would be the story of "the boy who cried wolf."

Then now, it belongs to "if he says the wolf is coming, then let it come; even if aliens come, it's fine."

Zhai Da can only lament that maternal hearts are not what they used to be; he is really trying to save himself this time.

Two days of information gathering completed, next is to formulate a plan.

In his room, Zhai Da digs out a piece of hard, plastic-sealed paper from the wardrobe that he had converted into a bookcase.

That is an A4 paper issued uniformly by the school to help students of this year understand the rules of the college entrance exam. It was issued in his sophomore year and has been well-preserved after being plastic-sealed.

He vaguely remembers that when it was first issued, teachers and students of all subjects were sweating while studying it.

Perhaps some people would wonder, aren't the rules just like that? Do they need to issue materials for teachers and students to study together?

Here, one has to mention the unique rules here.

Unlike the 750-point total in most other regions, the total score in the scattered province is only 440 points, only testing the three "big pillars" of Chinese, Math, and English, with an additional 40-point bonus question for Chinese and Math respectively, but one can only choose one to take.

This text description is very confusing. Zhai Da still remembers that when it was issued, the head teacher, Ding Rong, thought she had misunderstood it—a total score of 440, but the theoretical maximum score could reach 480...

And besides the three big pillars of Chinese, Math, and English, all other subjects became "academic level tests," no longer looking at scores, but introducing the foreign "ABCD" grading system.

Candidates need to choose one from "History" and "Physics," which is called an elective subject.

Written as elective, but actually compulsory, this will determine whether you are liberal arts or science, and determine which "bonus points" you can take.

Then choose two from "Politics," "Chemistry," "Biology," and "Geography," which are called compulsory subjects.

Written as compulsory, but actually the importance is slightly lower. These two are not on the same day as the college entrance exam, but organized by the scattered province itself, which is relatively less difficult, but the competition is fierce.

Generally speaking, according to liberal arts or science, students are combined in pairs like "Biology, Chemistry" and "Politics, Geography."

Of course, there are also some oddities who study liberal arts and science separately, which the school does not recommend but is allowed by the general rules.

As for the assessment of ABCD grades, there are also different sayings.

For example, "compulsory subjects (not important)" look at absolute scores: 90 points or more is A, 89-75 is B, and so on.

While "elective subjects (important)" look at score intervals: the top 20% in the province is A, and the top 5% is A+.

This leads to a new problem, which is that this new regulation in the scattered province does not match the original "selection system" of almost all universities in the country.

In the past, universities looked directly at the score line, at most looking at liberal arts or science, but now they have to set up a system specifically for the weird rules of the scattered province.

The complexity of students applying for universities has also risen sharply. In addition to scores, they also have to see if the "grade" of specific subjects is qualified, and the "grade" requirements for each major are different.

It's equivalent to going to a restaurant to eat in the past, where diners and the boss were used to using chopsticks and paying in RMB.

Now the city management has jumped out and said this won't do; you have to follow our rules.

You have to eat with your feet, and you must pay with three or more different currencies.

And sing "Wa Can't Write Love Songs" while eating.

Are you dizzy? If you are dizzy, then you are right. Except for those education experts who don't do human things, everyone else is dizzy.

You can't even understand the rules, what kind of college are you taking!

If you add one more thing, this rule was implemented for the first time in 2008...

Zhai Da is the unlucky one of this year.

After many years, Zhai Da still wants to hang those education experts up and whip them when facing this set of outrageous rules.

But there is also a little opportunity in this.

When new methods appear, when many people cannot adapt.

It also means... at this point in time, there is a large amount of "resource mismatch."

For example... some very strong students didn't get into their favorite universities because of filling errors.

And the key universities that didn't understand the rules of the scattered province... were also a bit confused when setting admission rules...

Because that summer was full of regrets and complaints, he kept hearing many discussions and gossip for the next two years.

QQ groups, class reunions, or other candidates from that year.

Not just Dongyang County, but news from the entire scattered province.

For example, who was rejected by Jing University because of a B in "compulsory course grade."

Or a certain famous university that couldn't fill its enrollment because it didn't estimate the situation correctly.

Of course, this foresight can only help him get twice the result with half the effort when filling out the form...

It doesn't mean he doesn't have to study now.

With that little bit of points, it's useless no matter how well you fill it out.

This requires him to use another trump card.

That is the [System] that can provide a little bit of meager power beyond his own efforts.

Zhai Da reviews the information he obtained today in his mind... he has vaguely grasped a thread.

He doesn't dare to think about top universities like Qing, Bei, Zhe, Jiao, or Fu.

But if he is lucky... getting into an undergraduate college shouldn't be difficult, right?

After all, a boy who has won the lottery won't have too bad luck.

On the desk, Zhai Da organizes his plan and nods with satisfaction.

First, I need a powerful TV!

[Old Man TV]: Addiction caused by playing content +300%.

This seemingly negative effect is exactly what Zhai Da urgently needs.

He not only wants to change his destiny, but also wants to change it happily and easily.

Squeezing himself with all his might to compete with a group of "real students" who have been studying since elementary school is not something a wise man would do.

Why not use my cheat if I have one?

What's the point of working hard to get a reward? Isn't it deserved?

Rewards obtained easily are the truly satisfying ones!
