Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 776 - 336 So You’re the Real Master (Second Update)

The next day during class, Xie Feng talked about the MT International Mathematics Challenge.

This competition consists of six online scoring rounds. The first scoring round was held in mid-January, and ten days later, which is today, the CEE official website released the rankings for the first scoring round.

Xie Feng turned on the projector in the classroom, opened the CEE website, and clicked on the rankings.

A total of 87,627 high school students from various countries and regions around the world participated in this competition, but the official website only recorded the top one hundred in the rankings. After the results of the next scoring round come out, the scores of the two rounds will be added together to produce a new ranking. The fierce competition is evident, like thousands of soldiers crossing a single log bridge.

Among the top one hundred, only five are from Hua Country.

Shen You’an ranked twenty-seventh, Liu Runxi ranked twenty-eighth, Leng Yunyang seventy-fifth, Gu Bichen eighty-ninth, and Jiang Yumo barely made it at the hundredth place.

Everyone looked at Shen You’an and Liu Runxi with deep admiration in their eyes.

This was already the best result since Hua Country students participated in this competition. To break into the top thirty was once thought impossible.

Shen You’an slightly frowned. Xie Feng noticed this and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Shen, are you dissatisfied with this result?"

In an instant, all eyes in the class focused on Shen You’an.

This result is not satisfactory? Is the genius aiming for the sky?

Shen You’an said casually, "I will keep working hard."

"It’s great that Shen has the drive to work hard. Everyone should learn from her. We look forward to Shen achieving even better results in the next round."

Shen You’an indeed was not satisfied with this result, but she also understood the concept of always having someone better out there.

This world never lacks smart people. Even though she has been enhanced by the system, she is no more than a minor figure in front of true geniuses.

It seems she needs to continue drilling in the system.

She still needed three hundred points to activate the third phase [Resourceful]. She had to earn the three hundred points within half a month to enter the question bank for practice. Only then would she see improvement in the next challenge.

Shen You’an took out her phone and started searching for high school competitions happening soon.

The benefit of the Young Talent Class is that even if students play on their phones while the teacher is lecturing, the teacher would pretend not to see.

At this level, not looking at a phone less won’t improve scores; it’s all about the student’s self-discipline.

After all, a genius student like Shen You’an never acts conventionally.

There is a high school Go competition this Saturday in Jingzhou. Shen You’an’s father taught her the basics of Go when she was young, and she also studied some in the system. It’s just a basic competition, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Shen You’an registered online with her phone.

There is a youth swimming championship in Chunzhou this weekend. This competition has a threshold; one must have ranked in a city-level competition or higher to participate.

Recalling last year’s accidental swimming competition, Shen You’an already had a plan in mind.

Xie Feng pointed to the top name on the leaderboard: "Hart Bay, does anyone know anything about this person?"

Everyone uniformly shook their heads.

Xie Feng looked at the daydreaming Gu Bichen and smiled, "Gu."

Gu Bichen was still lost in his own thoughts until Cheng Xuyuan, beside him, nudged his arm, bringing him back to the present.

As he looked up, he met Xie Feng’s scrutinizing gaze.

Gu Bichen spoke calmly, "Mr. Xie, what would you like to ask me?"

Xie Feng pointed to the name: "Hart Bay, do you have any impression of him?"

Gu Bichen nodded slightly: "I met him five years ago at the AMC International Mathematics Competition. He was the gold medalist that year."

Gu Bichen had participated in numerous domestic and international competitions since he was young and was very knowledgeable.

"What’s your impression of him?"

Gu Bichen recalled, "He seems to be a bit mentally unstable, but undoubtedly a very formidable opponent."

"Indeed."

Xie Feng looked at Shen You’an and Liu Runxi: "Hart Bay, with a mathematician father and an IT engineer mother, exhibited exceptional mathematical talent from a young age. He was hailed as a math prodigy. At five, he could easily recite pi to five figures, breaking records. He is especially proficient in mental arithmetic, even faster than computers."

"Know your enemy and yourself, and you’ll never be defeated. Are you ready to face the challenge?"

The faces of the five uniformly took on a serious expression.

Xie Feng suddenly laughed, "Don’t put so much pressure on yourselves. Just view this competition as a learning experience. As Einstein said, science is endless. It’s an eternal mystery, just like mathematics. As long as you improve next time, that’s success. There’s no need to compare with prodigies in everything—in my heart, you are the prodigies."
