CS: A young talent from Peking University, you want me to play professionally?

Chapter 4 Son, how did you do in the mock exam?
"I'd love to earn your father's money, but my grades are all based on my actual ability. You don't really think you can get eighth place in the class by cheating, do you?"

"Come on, you're kidding me."

After hearing what Li Mo said, Zhang Ruibo's face was filled with three big words:

I do not believe!
In Zhang Ruibo's opinion, Li Mo must have come up with a dirty trick to cheat in the exam in order to play games to avoid being beaten by his father.

But to be honest, what he couldn't understand was how Li Mo managed to cheat in so many courses without being caught.

It's impossible that he got this score based on his own ability, right?

"In less than a month, his total score soared from 460 to 580. There's no one like him in the whole school."

"Besides, I heard from Aunt Luo that every night when you get home, your dad drags you out to play games and you never even take out your books."

The two were neighbors and close friends who had grown up together in the same yard. He knew very well how knowledgeable Li Mo was.

But he was puzzled. Why did Li Mo, who was also at the bottom of the class, get such a rapid increase in test scores this time? He was already in the top eight in the class in a blink of an eye.

Is this still the good brother who was at the bottom of the class that he knew?

"It's okay, Brother Bo. There are colleges in Beijing. I don't mind if you treat me to meals often."

"Fuck you, Li Mo, you're cursing me, right?

"Work hard for a hundred days, I want to get a first-class certificate!"

While joking, the two of them walked to the family compound.

"Come to my house and play a couple of games?"

"Thank you for the invitation. I'm inspired by you. I'm going to try my best."

"I'm sure I'll make a splash in the second mock exam!"

My own failure is certainly frustrating, but my brother's success is the most despairing.

Seeing the serious look on Zhang Ruibo's face, Li Mo nodded, patted his shoulder, and said:
"Brother Bo, I must remind you."

"Not everyone is as gifted as I am. There's no need for you to waste your precious time studying."

"Get out of here!"

After saying goodbye to Zhang Ruibo, Li Mo returned home.

After entering the room, Luo Qinmei came out of the kitchen when she heard the door open, and she couldn't hide the anticipation on her face.

She was very clear about how hard Li Mo had been studying during this period. Even the head teacher called her a few days ago to praise Li Mo for his good study attitude recently.

When Luo Qinmei received the call from her head teacher, she burst into tears.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever the teacher called, it must have meant that Li Mo was causing trouble at school again.

She didn't dare to imagine that one day she would receive a call from her head teacher and he would praise Li Mo in various ways for the first time.

At this moment, she finally experienced the feeling of being honored as a mother by her son.

After the first mock exam results came out today, Luo Qinmei was looking forward to whether Li Mo's score could improve.

However, it was only two weeks before the entrance exam, so Luo Qinmei didn't think Li Mo would have much room for improvement.

In her opinion, it would be great if Li Mo's total score could be improved by about 20 points this time.

20 points may not sound like a lot, but the first mock exam is more difficult than the first exam at the beginning of the semester.

"Xiaomo, you must be hungry."

Luo Qinmei was originally going to ask Li Mo about his grades, but after coming out of the kitchen, she found that Li Mo's face had a calm expression, and he didn't even look happy.

Logically speaking, if Li Mo had done well in the exam, he should have been quite excited and nervous. However, it seems that he probably did not perform well in this exam and his result was not ideal.

Thinking of this, Luo Qinmei began to mentally formulate how to comfort Li Mo later. One of the most painful aspects of student life is putting in effort but not receiving any reward. This can easily dampen one's enthusiasm for learning, and some students with a negative attitude may even become devastated.

"Son, how did you do on the mock exam?"

Li Qianhe, who had just won a small town ranking game, was in high spirits.

After playing games for an entire afternoon, this was the only game in which he had a positive record. He was extremely happy at that moment.

After hearing the sound of Li Mo returning home, he switched to the live broadcast on his mobile phone and walked out.

"Old Li, go serve the rice and dishes. You're the one who talks too much."

Luo Qinmei rolled her eyes at Li Qianhe in annoyance.

Seeing that his son was in a bad mood and was still bringing up things that were not related to the topic, he really wanted to sew his stinky mouth shut.

After finishing the meal, seeing that Li Mo had put down his bowl and chopsticks, Luo Qinmei slowly and carefully said:

"Xiaomo, a poor test result doesn't really mean anything."

"Your father and I have seen your hard work recently. Your homeroom teacher, Mr. Lei, called me a few days ago to praise you, saying that you are much more sensible now and that you only think about studying every day at school."

"There are still more than two months until the college entrance examination. There's still time for everything."

"Besides, even if our college entrance exam scores aren't ideal, don't we still have four years after entering university?"

“As long as you want to learn, it’s never too late.”

"Mom will always believe in you!"

After Luo Qinmei finished speaking, she stepped hard on Li Qianhe who was standing next to her.

Noticing his wife winking at him, Li Qianhe understood what she meant and looked at Li Mo and said:

"Son, your mother is right."

"Dad pushed you too hard in the past, which is why you have always been so rebellious."

"As the saying goes, there are top talents in every profession. Is studying the only way out?"

"So what if you failed the college entrance exam? As long as you play games well, your future is bright."

"Ouch, that hurts so much."

Just as he was preparing to give a speech with great enthusiasm, Li Qianhe felt that his thigh was about to be pinched to pieces.

Turning his head again, Luo Qinmei's face turned as dark as if she was ready to kill someone in the next second, so Li Qianhe quickly chose to shut up.

"The test results this time are indeed not very ideal."

"I'm three points short of my target score, so I want to punish myself by doing three more exams."

After hearing this, Luo Qinmei nodded instinctively, and then suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

She remembered that Li Mo's previous target score was 590 points, and she thought that Li Mo's goal was too high.

Anyone who has been to school knows that it is actually very easy to improve your score from 300 to 400.

But if you want to improve from 460 points to 580 in a short period of time, it is extremely difficult, almost impossible.

Let’s put it this way, 460 points is still a long way from the first-tier university, while 580 points is already enough to get into a mid-level 211 university. The gap between them is obvious.

So when Luo Qinmei heard the target score set by Li Mo, she was a little worried, fearing that Li Mo's self-confidence might be undermined if the results were far from the target.

But to be honest, she never thought that Li Mo could really get the target score in less than a month!
