Chapter 48

Being in the news, a term extremely distant for a high school student.

At an age that is green and awkward, still trying to construct one's self, this kind of achievement is no different from a bomb.

The heat of the discussion about this matter was comparable to Hiroshima in 1945.

Although Zhai Da stopped Wu Yue immediately, could he stop everyone else from going online to see it themselves?

During morning self-study, the chemistry teacher who occupied the class felt that almost everyone was looking down, and even confiscating a phone couldn't stop it.

The news spread like wildfire in Senior Year Class 8; in just the time of one morning reading session, everyone knew about it.

And as the ten-minute break passed, this spread of information became even more unstoppable; he couldn't cover the mouths of dozens of people...

He was even cornered in a corner himself.

A large group of male and female students formed a circle around Zhai Da.

"Zhai Da, when did you participate in the Micro-fiction Contest?"

"You're famous now! Will you write books in the future?"

"Zhai Da, can you help me get Han Han's autograph? I'm his fan."

Han Han's autograph... a lawyer's letter from Han Han would be more like it.

Until Ding Rong walked in and brought an explosive piece of news to the whole class.

Today, there would be small tests in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and English; the whole day would be spent in exams.

Wu Yue's face turned green; he couldn't even sleep for a whole day...

Ding Rong also had a stack of materials passed back from the first row, column by column.

It seemed to be something very important.

Zhai Da took one after it reached him and only looked at the content after passing it back.

Ding Rong: "The second compulsory subject grade test starts in early May; this is also the last time. Recently, there will be intensive assaults on biology and chemistry; you need to be mentally prepared."

Zhai Da thought to himself, so that's it; no wonder there were exams all day.

Wonder how much his grades can improve this time...

Someone raised their hand and asked: "Biology and chemistry assault... will it take up class time for other subjects?"

Ding Rong didn't change her expression: "No, it will just purely extend the time for morning and evening self-study."

The whole class wailed.

Although as a regular class in a county high school, half of them had long since given up on studying and were just waiting to graduate and go out to work, that didn't stop them from complaining a few times.

Zhai Da pinched the A4 paper; the content on it was very detailed, covering every aspect of the rules for the final "Subject Grade Test."

As mentioned before, under the 08 new regulations, Zhai Da needed to choose two subjects from "Biology, Chemistry, Politics, Geography" to take the compulsory grading (ABCD); science students generally default to biology and chemistry.

It wasn't on the same day as the college entrance exam, but organized by the province itself, with two exams in total, taking the best grade; one at the end of last year, and one this May.

The materials distributed today were for the next exam.

This would be the second most important admission assessment dimension besides the total college entrance exam score.

Theoretically, even if Zhai Da scored over 400 points (out of 480), if his subject grades were all C, good schools wouldn't bother with him.

In his previous life, there was an unlucky guy who scored over 450, but because he had a B in his subject grade, he was rejected by Jing University, becoming a typical case of the 08 new regulations.

As the saying goes, "getting Long and wanting Shu," when he first reborn, Zhai Da only wanted to reach the level of a junior college.

After discovering he had a cheat, he wanted to challenge an undergraduate degree.

But now... why can't I get into a top-tier institution?!

So he might need to get two A's (>90) in next month's test.

By the way, "High school student Zhai Da" left two C's for "Reborn Zhai Da" in the last exam.

When he had just obtained the [Literary Girl's Pen], Zhai Da had thought about taking a risk and finding a way to change his exam subjects to "Politics/Geography," which are commonly chosen for liberal arts.

The 08 new regulations themselves were a bit of a hybrid, and one of the original intentions was to "break through liberal arts and sciences," so being a weird science student was allowed by the rules.

This would maximize the effect of the cheat; after all, the [Old Man's TV] and the [Literary Girl's Pen] didn't add comprehension ability, so changing to two subjects based on memorization was more fitting.

But two things changed Zhai Da's thinking: one was that the system showed a strong sense of technology rather than pure idealism in the process of synthesizing equipment, so he felt he might need a good foundation in this area in the future.

The other was that Lu Wei moved into his home and became his personal little tutor...

Currently, there was still a chance to get a pair of A's next month; he was getting stronger rapidly every day, while these scumbags in the class were "fishing for three days and drying nets for two," with more time spent on gossip than studying; their progress in a week might not even be as much as his in a day...

However, when Zhai Da saw a line of small print at the bottom, he fell into deep thought...

————

The cafeteria during lunch break, the noisiest place in the whole school.

You can never tell who is talking, but this place is noisier than a duck farm.

Several girls of different heights and weights, but with identical "iron bangs," were sitting at a table having a heated discussion.

Any excitement in the school couldn't happen without the participation of these top-tier gossips.

"Have you heard? That Zhai Da who Lin Shuyao confessed to is in the news?"

"What news? Legal news? Did Lin Shuyao go to the hospital? Was it in the classroom?"

"Forget Lin Shuyao, it seems he likes Little Deer; I often see them going to school together."

"That's not the point; he won some Micro-fiction Contest championship; I saw online that he's the second Han Han!"

While they were talking, a stainless steel tray was placed on their table; looking up, it was the protagonist of the event, Zhai Da.

The four girls weren't scared; Zhai Da had only succeeded with this trick once, and later his appearance would only make these girls more excited.

But today Zhai Da didn't scare them again; instead, to the shock of the four, he sat down at the long table.

Zhai Da said calmly: "This isn't an empty seat, right? I can sit here, can't I?"

Several looked at each other, not knowing what Zhai Da meant, but still moved over to make room.

Two of them even blushed a little, not because Zhai Da was handsome, but purely out of the shyness of high school girls.

One of the chubby girls whispered: "Classmate Zhai, are you angry because we were discussing you?"

Zhai Da: "If I get angry, will you stop discussing?"

"That wouldn't happen."

"Then why the hell should I get angry..."

Zhai Da placed the bag in his left hand on the table; inside were four starch sausages, the only thing in the cafeteria that couldn't possibly taste bad, and also one of the hard currencies of Maofang Middle School.

Putting a starch sausage into each person's tray, Zhai Da said:

"Treating you to these, but I want to ask about something; you guys are so well-informed, nothing that happens in school should escape your mouths... I mean ears."

The four girls wouldn't be swayed just by starch sausages, but having this as an opener indeed made communication easier.

"What do you want to ask about?"

"Asking about someone, have you heard of Lu Wei? A senior from the previous grade."

Zhai Da said seriously:

"I want to know what happened to her; hearsay is fine, but don't add oil and vinegar."
