Chapter 512: Even among colors, there are highs and lows
"Chen Tianming: Wait a minute, Qin Zeyu, what kind of Matchmaker are you???"
"Qin Zeyu: Light Yagami, isn't this a Matchmaker?"
"Qin Zeyu: Look, this notebook in my hand is bound to the Matchmaker and can only be used by the Matchmaker. Isn't that the Marriage Register? And it's bound to a Pokémon spirit that only the Matchmaker can see!
If this isn't a Matchmaker, what is?"
"Rounding it up, I am using the heavens and earth as a witness, the sun and moon as proof, to register your marriage certificate. Sending a heart."
"Chen Tianming: Eh, I fuck, why are you so bad? 【Customer Service Little Xiang tears】"
"Chen Tianming: Who the hell told you that having 'Yue' (Moon) in your name makes you a Matchmaker."
"Qin Zeyu: Otherwise?"
"Chen Tianming: I finally understand. No wonder 'Chen Sheng wants to say the world has suffered under Qin for a long time.' It turns out the 'Chen' in Chen Sheng is Chen Tianming's Chen, and the 'Qin' is Qin Zeyu's Qin."
"Wang Ze: Wait a minute, Zeyu's name also has 'Ze' in it. Could it be that he actually feels the same way I do inside, that brothers are the easiest to trick? As long as you keep pretending to be a gay man to lower their guard, they all think I'm joking before they get in?"
"Qin Zeyu:?"
"Qin Zeyu: Brother, so you were pretending to play the gay meme while actually being gay and have been laying it out all along? You're joking, right?"
"Wang Ze: See, now he still thinks I'm joking."
"Chen, Wang Ze, your dorm is famous in Nansang for turning off the lights early, but also famous for being noisy after lights out. What are you guys doing?"
"Wang Ze: Mm."
"Zhang Haoyang: Four-joy meatballs colliding continuously 【Explosion】 【Explosion】"
"Zhou Baowei: It's actually a roommate testifying? That's very authoritative."
"Wang Ze: Hahahahahaha—"
"Bai Bufan: What could make the lurking Baowei appear? Is it the gay man or the four-joy meatballs? It's so hard to guess."
The style of the group chat went in a strange direction again, but fortunately, Lin Li only showed Chen Yuying a short segment of Qin Zeyu's message, not the others.
These contents, which could be considered precious historical materials, should be eaten secretly behind Chen Yuying's back later.
A moment later, the three arrived at the teaching building area of Pingjiang Academy.
The exam halls where the three were located were in different teaching buildings, so it was time to separate.
"Give me the clothes." Chen Yuying reached out, signaling Lin Li to give her the school uniform he had been holding.
"Here," Lin Li nodded, then reached out and patted Chen Tianming, who was still arguing with Qin Zeyu, signaling him to stop arguing and look at him, his expression serious and gentle, "Tianming."
Seeing Lin Li's expression, Chen Tianming wanted to step back quickly, but his shoulder was pressed down.
Lin Li spoke gently:
"The exam is about to start, Tianming, Yingbao, keep a good mindset. Remember, it's normal for competition questions to be difficult. Don't let one or two difficult questions affect your mood. Believe in your usual accumulation and preparation."
"Be sure to read the questions carefully, read them word for word, at least twice, and circle or underline keywords, such as maximum value, minimum value, existence, uniqueness, all, non-zero, etc. Clarify what the question asks you to do and what the conditions are."
"Start with the easy ones and move to the difficult ones. If you encounter a question you have no ideas for, mark it decisively and skip it. Don't spend too much time on one question, so as not to delay the questions you can do later..."
Chen Tianming, Chen Yuying: "(; o_o)?"
Who are you, buddy!?
Xue Jian, get off Lin Li's body!!
How could this kind of standard pre-exam advice come out of Lin Li's mouth?
"Lin Li, say something not human. You're scaring me like this..." Chen Tianming said sincerely.
Chen Yuying tilted her head slightly, and there was confusion and doubt in her eyes, which weren't as beautiful as Lin Li's.
Lin Li didn't speak, only caring:
"... When it's the last half hour, regardless of whether the paper is finished, go check the questions you've already done. Use methods like estimation, extreme cases, and substituting special values to quickly verify the rationality of the answers."
"Then start re-reading the difficult questions you marked to see if there are any new ideas. If you find you really have no way after trying yourself, don't put the paper on the table to write. Hold the paper over your head, look up, and find ideas."
"Why?" Chen Tianming narrowed his eyes.
Lin Li: "Because man proposes, God disposes."
"..."
"Phew—" Chen Tianming smiled with relief, temporarily detaching himself from his nervous state, and patted Lin Li's shoulder with satisfaction:
"Okok, Lin Li, you should have said so earlier. Next time, the map of Yan shouldn't be so long, okay."
Chen Yuying also shook her head with amusement and helplessness.
"That's about all the advice I have," Lin Li remained calm, picked up Chen Yuying's file bag to take a look, and asked Chen Tianming: "Tianming, have you confirmed your admission ticket and stationery?"
Chen Tianming immediately rummaged through his pockets, and only felt relieved after touching them.
Of course, this wasn't Chen Tianming worrying that he really hadn't brought them, but when Lin Li asked this question, his first thought was when Lin Li had stolen them just now.
"Why are you using a black pen?" Lin Li asked in confusion after taking a look.
"If I don't use a black pen, what should I use, a pencil?" Chen Tianming asked back in confusion.
"Tianming, do you know what color is the smartest, especially for you," Lin Li reached into his pocket, took out a pen, and asked: "I'll give you this pen. Use this to answer the questions later. It should get you a few more points."
Chen Tianming took the pen, uncovered the cap, and was somewhat confused: "A white watercolor pen? Who uses this to answer questions?"
Lin Li: "Because white is the smartest."
Chen Tianming: "?"
"Tianming, do you know that you read books in vain, attended classes in vain, and did homework in vain? The knowledge in your brain is all mastered in vain."
"The language of black brothers is not connected."
"So use this pen. At least when the grader sees it, they'll give you some 'smart' points."
Chen Tianming: "..."
So the previous part was just the scabbard, and this is the real dagger under the map of Yan?
"Thank you." Chen Tianming took the pen with a smile. The scolding was already over, if he didn't take the pen, wouldn't the scolding be in vain?
Eh? The scolding was in vain? Eh! Then what does that have to do with me, Chen Tianming!
Win!
Thinking of this, Chen Tianming happily gave a middle finger and left.
"The semi-finals don't allow early submission. Class monitor, if you don't like squeezing through the crowd to take the stairs, I'll come find you after it's over." Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying.
"Okay." Chen Yuying nodded.
"Then go to the exam hall, good luck on the exam."
"Mm-mm, you too, good luck~"
After saying goodbye to Chen Yuying, Lin Li arrived at his assigned exam hall, No. 57.
There were quite a lot of people in the corridor, but because it was a math competition, there were very few people like Yao Qiaoqiao who were seizing the time to look at wrong questions. Most were talking to people they were familiar with, or simply playing on their phones.
There were quite a few people in the classroom who were simply taking a nap.
Speaking of which, sleeping at noon is called a nap, but sleeping at seven or eight in the evening is called going to bed early, and sleeping at seven or eight in the morning is called staying up late. Is this reasonable?
He took a look; there was indeed one person from Nansang in the exam hall, but he didn't know him, having only met him a few times during weekend tutoring. He was a student in the competition class.
Lin Li naturally had no intention of talking to the other person. After putting his file bag on his seat, he went to the corridor to observe.
He paid special attention to the local students wearing Pingjiang Academy uniforms.
After "scanning" for a while, Lin Li walked toward a local student who was lazily leaning against the railing alone, staring blankly downstairs, "Hello, classmate, can I have a word with you?"
The other person seemed quite surprised that someone would suddenly talk to him, blinked, and nodded: "What's wrong?"
"Are you from Pingzhong?"
"Indeed I am." ===== CHAPTER 513 =====
