Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

When it comes to Ning Chen's performance, Liao Jun feels a little hard to answer.

"How should I put it... At the beginning, Ning Chen was very positive, saying that he wanted to sign up for all five subjects, and I specially ordered general information for him. But later, he stopped attending classes. They don’t even participate in the main training.”

Hearing Liao Jun's answer, Yang Lianhua was also a little surprised.

"This shouldn't be the case. Ning Chen still has a very good impression on me. No matter what, he will still participate in the main training. Teacher Liao, do you know why he did not participate in the training?"

"From what Ning Chen said, it seems that he has several tutoring classes to take and can't spare any time."

When Yang Lianhua heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Hey! How can tutoring be more important than training? Isn't Ning Chen's family situation not very good? If not, I will find a way to ask the laboratory to apply for some bursaries or something for him."

Yang Lianhua was worried that Ning Chen would delay his future because of money problems. After all, Shengzhou University finally produced such a student. Yang Lianhua really hoped that Ning Chen could focus on studying.

Yang Lianhua does not agree with the saying that "a noble son comes from a poor family". On the contrary, Yang Lianhua believes that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

In this era, children from poor families lag behind at the starting line and face more difficulties than children from better-off families. At the same time, they are unable to enjoy the best life, education and medical care.

The college entrance examination is already a relatively fair platform for them.

"Teacher Yang, I don't think it's because of money. Although I don't know much about Ning Chen's family situation, at least Ning Chen's family conditions should not be too bad." He Sheng said.

"Yes, Teacher Yang, Ning Chen said before that he had to pay for other individual materials by himself. If his family conditions were so poor, he probably wouldn't have said these things. I always feel that there is something going on here. "

At this time, He Sheng suddenly remembered something again and said:

"According to my usual observations of Ning Chen, Ning Chen is a student who particularly likes to study on his own. In my advanced mathematics class, he actually hardly listened to the class and always sat in the last row to learn something by himself. Maybe This time he is also studying on his own after class, which may be more efficient for him."

"If it is really like what Teacher He said, then Ning Chen's ability is too terrifying. Hey, when the trials start, we will know what everything is going on."

Liao Jun knew in his heart that although he was top in the Shengzhou University mathematics competition, looking at the country, Liao Jun was definitely not as good as some of the best students.

If Ning Chen really didn't come to his training class because of this, Liao Jun wouldn't take it to heart.

…

Time flies, and more than a month of competition training is quickly over.

On this day, Shengzhou University will organize an internal competition trial to determine the final team members based on their results.

Compared with the normal written test of Qiuchengtong College Student Mathematics Competition, this selection competition will be smaller in terms of both the number of questions and the difficulty.

After all, the previous training was a bit rushed. If the questions were given directly according to the standard difficulty and question volume, the results in the selection test would probably be disastrous.

The test time for each individual item in this selection competition is one and a half hours. Candidates can choose three of the four major questions to answer. Finally, the results of each individual item will be ranked according to the standard score.

The first subject of the exam was analysis and differential equations. Before the exam started, everyone started talking to each other outside the exam room.

"What should I do? I feel like I can't remember many English words. I won't even be able to understand the questions in a while!"

"The average time for each question is only half an hour. I don't know if I can finish the test."

"Hey, it would be nice if the test questions were all the types of questions that I have practiced in daily life. However, the types of questions in the competition are ever-changing, and it is still difficult to encounter the usual types of questions."

In fact, everyone's real situation is not as bad as they say. It's just that before the exam, many people are used to describing themselves as miserable, including after the exam is over.

At this time, one student said:

"I haven't seen the freshman majoring in materials come to class recently. Isn't he already withdrawing from competition training?"

"From what you said, it seems like that's true. I don't know about other subjects, but he doesn't even come to class for his main subject."

"I guess during the training process, I realized that I was not suitable to participate in the competition, so I gave up. After all, I am just a freshman majoring in materials. Even if I am lucky enough to publish a paper, there is no way to prove that he is qualified. Ability to compete.”

Zhu Yi also felt good about Ning Chen not participating in competition training recently. It seemed that he had overestimated Ning Chen before.

"I'm just saying, if you're not a math major, don't join in on the math competition. Qiu Chengtong's college math competition doesn't have non-mathematics majors. It's like amateur players meeting professional players. They're not on the same level at all. Come on."

Talking about Ning Chen made them all relax a little. After all, Ning Chen did not show any competitiveness in the usual training, which made their initial sense of crisis dissipate long ago.

After a while, the invigilator came over, and everyone began to enter the examination room one after another.

There are not many students participating in the selection test for each subject. Even if they sit separately, there are still many seats left in a classroom.

Just ten minutes before the exam started, Ning Chen suddenly appeared outside the examination room.

Speaking of which, since the seats for the exam have been reserved long ago, there is no need for Ning Chen to come too early.

Besides, Ning Chen was not familiar with them since they were all sophomores and juniors majoring in mathematics. Ning Chen might as well rest in the dormitory for a while.

Seeing Ning Chen coming, everyone was obviously a little surprised.

"Why...why is he here?"

Zhu Yi was also quite surprised by Ning Chen's appearance. It seemed that Ning Chen had not given up on this trial.

But even so, after missing so many training sessions, Zhu Yi didn't believe how good Ning Chen could achieve.

Ning Chen found his seat and sat down, silently waiting for the exam to begin.

Five minutes before the exam starts, the invigilator starts handing out papers.

"Everyone can look at the paper now, but don't start writing until I say the exam will start." said the invigilator.

Everyone also abides by the rules of the exam. After all, it is impossible to write about such a difficult question without thinking about it for a while.

But when they saw the title on the paper, they all frowned, all with painful expressions.
