My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

Zhong Yang and Fan Wenjun never expected that Principal Lin, who had just been all smiles, would react so strongly.

It is worth noting that improving the sports performance of No. 1 Middle School has always been Principal Lin's long-cherished wish.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to invite Zhong Yang to No. 1 Middle School.

It's just puzzling why Principal Lin, who has always been a supporter of school sports, reacted so strongly this time.

Zhong Yang said somewhat awkwardly, "Principal Lin, I've already inquired, and Lin Chen's grades are quite good."

"But it just barely meets the requirements of a 211 university."

"But if Lin Chen can join the track and field team, I can guarantee that he will definitely achieve good results in the sports meet!"

"It's not impossible that I'll be specially admitted to a 985 university!"

Special admissions to 985 universities?

They were already admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities through the guaranteed admission program, okay?

Principal Lin couldn't help but want to tell Zhong Yang what he had said.

But seeing Fan Wenjun beside him, he held back for the time being.

"Teacher Fan, please go out for a moment. Teacher Zhong and I need to talk alone."

Fan Wenjun was puzzled, but since the principal had spoken, he had no choice but to obediently walk out.

After he left, Principal Lin finally spoke: "Teacher Zhong, I'll tell you the truth!"

"Lin Chen doesn't need any special recruitment at all!"

"Because they were already admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University through the guaranteed admission program!"

"what?!"

Zhong Yang couldn't help but want to shout, but Principal Lin pressed him back down.

"You have to keep this a secret! Right now, only you, me, and the dean of students know about it!"

"People come here just for the sake of it. They want a quiet high school life."

"Don't you dare tell anyone about this!"

"I see."

Zhong Yang looked somewhat embarrassed, not expecting that Lin Chen had already been recommended for admission to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

No wonder Principal Lin objected.

After all, even if Lin Chen worked himself to the bone, he still managed to win first place at the provincial sports meet.

Getting into Tsinghua or Peking University through a special admission program depends on luck.

No wonder Principal Lin felt it was unnecessary.

"But Principal... if Lin Chen is really a student admitted through the guaranteed admission program, that would actually be even better!"

After a moment of silence, Zhong Yang suddenly looked up happily.

With a mischievous grin, he urged, "Principal Lin, since Lin Chen is a recommended student, he doesn't have any academic pressure."

"In the remaining months, instead of letting him do nothing at school, why don't we let him represent our school in the competition?"

"Think about it, if Lin Chen achieves a good result, he won't benefit much, but we will!"

Zhong Yang's words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly brightening Principal Lin's eyes.

"Yes!"

Principal Lin's mind immediately became active.

Indeed, Lin Chen's visit to their school was only a temporary arrangement.

Principal Lin agreed to this because Lin Chen's transfer would essentially secure a spot for Tsinghua or Peking University for the school.

They can reap a lot of benefits in terms of external publicity at that time.

But that's it.

But if Lin Chen were to represent No. 1 Middle School and achieve good results at the provincial sports meet, that would be a completely different story!

As a key high school, No. 1 High School has no shortage of students who are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, but it has never had a student who has achieved good results in the provincial sports meet!

Thinking of this, Principal Lin immediately wanted to agree to Zhong Yang's proposal.

But he suddenly hesitated: "Teacher Zhong, a person's energy is limited. Lin Chen is so good at academics, can he really achieve good results in sports?"

“Absolutely true!” Zhong Yang said decisively, “He is the most talented student I have ever seen!”

"Given time, perhaps our No. 1 High School can produce a Liu Feiren!"

"Liu the Flying Man!"

These words completely moved Principal Lin.

"I understand, I agree with your idea! But you should still ask Lin Chen about this."

"After all, all our words are useless. His own opinion is the most important."

"give it to me!"

Zhong Yang straightened his back, very confident in himself.

"I promise to complete the task!"

……

"Lin Chen! Come here for a second!"

When physical education class ended, Zhong Yang called Lin Chen aside.

"Huh? They want me to join the track and field team? Principal Lin agreed?"

Upon hearing Zhong Yang's request, Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded.

The reason I asked the two teachers to go to Principal Lin was to ask him to refuse on his behalf.

Why did Principal Lin turn against them and side with them instead?

Dear teachers, I'm here to be a top student, not an athlete!

Lin Chen naturally wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, the system suddenly appeared at that moment.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a series of challenge missions!"

"Mission Objective 1: Obtain national-level athlete qualification through the city-level sports team selection!"

"Mission challenge successful: Reward: 2 Stamina Attribute Points. If the mission is not completed within one year, the Stamina Attribute Points will be halved!"

Wang Defa!

Lin Chen never expected that the mission would be triggered at this time.

Moreover, failing to complete the task will result in a penalty of having half of your attribute points deducted!

Although Lin Chen wanted to be a top student, he was also unwilling to be a weakling.

I knew it! Why did they reward athletic ability before?

So, system, you were planning to trap me all along!

But why would a system designed for academic geniuses make me become an athlete?

"System Reminder: Culture is important, but so is sports. We must give it our all!"

"Only children make choices; top students... want it all!"

You're absolutely right, I have no words to say.

"Okay, teacher, I agree."

Lin Chen had no choice but to agree to the two physical education teachers' request.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhong Yang's lips curled up so wide that even the AK couldn't suppress it.

"Let's go find your homeroom teacher now."

"From now on, you don't need to go to regular classes anymore. Just come to the stadium for training!"

"Oh, wait!"

Lin Chen quickly said, "Teacher Zhong, I can promise you that I can come to train in math, physics, and chemistry classes, but I still want to attend the other classes."

"Why? Weren't you already accepted into Tsinghua and Peking Universities through the guaranteed admission program?"

With Fan Wenjun absent, Zhong Yang directly exposed Lin Chen's status as a student admitted through the recommendation system.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, not expecting Principal Lin to reveal this secret.

He used to boast about being tight-lipped.

"Teacher Zhong, I'm only doing well in these three subjects; I'd like to study the other subjects more."

"This is my bottom line. If you don't agree, I won't participate in the track and field team anymore."

"Alright, alright."

Zhong Yang only wants Lin Chen to join the track and field team; he doesn't care about anything else.

He just didn't understand why Lin Chen, who had already been recommended for admission, still needed to study.

Are you perhaps driven mad by studying too much?

A moment later, in the math department office.

Han Yu was about to go to Class 1's classroom when she was stopped by Zhong Yang and Lin Chen.

Upon seeing the two of them approaching together, Han Yu's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was amiss.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhong Yang's purpose, Han Yu immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Principal Lin agreed to let Lin Chen join the track and field team?"

She looked at Lin Chen and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Chen, are you sure?"

"Your exam results were pretty good this time. With a little more effort, you could very well get into a top-tier university!"
