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

Time passed by minute by minute.

Inside the Dream Lab, Lin Chen was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

When he was suddenly woken up by the alarm clock, Lin Chen opened his eyes and saw that it was already six o'clock in the morning.

Although he studied in his dream all night, Lin Chen found himself full of energy.

He doesn't look like he's stayed up all night at all.

In other words, although I studied all night in my dream, I actually fell asleep in reality?

This dream lab is really great; it's given me an extra 8 hours of study time every day!

Lin Chen glanced at the results of his work over the past night.

My knowledge level in informatics is still LV0.

However, after LV0, there is an extra line of small text compared to before.

Informatics: LV0 (Ignorance) (107/1000)

These should be experience points, right?

The 7 o'clock mark should be from reading books with Chen Xiaoxiao in the library during the day, and the remaining 100 points are from the evening...

really!

Although I only read a few books last night, it was still effective.

I gained 100 experience points in one night. It seems like it won't be long before I can start exchanging them!

Awesome!

Over the next few days, Lin Chen received training from Liu Cangpu, the coach of the city's track and field team, on the school playground in the mornings.

In the afternoon, I prepared for the math Olympiad selection competition with Chen Xiaoxiao.

During evening self-study sessions, he would then share his study secrets with the senior classes.

When I get home at night and go to sleep, I level up my knowledge in my dreams.

The day was incredibly fulfilling.

Soon it was time for the day of the math Olympiad selection competition.

It was Friday, and students at No. 1 Middle School still had to attend classes, but as students who had registered for the Mathematical Olympiad selection competition, they were still able to attend.

Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao were granted a special day off.

The two students were personally driven from the school to the examination venue by Han Yu, the homeroom teacher of Class 1.

This math Olympiad selection competition did not follow the regular national team selection process. I heard it was very difficult, and it was also close to the college entrance examination.

So, only Chen Xiaoxiao and Lin Chen from the entire No. 1 Middle School signed up, and as the homeroom teacher of Class 1, the task of picking them up and dropping them off naturally fell to Han Yu.

In the morning, when Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao arrived at the school gate together.

A Tesla was parked at the entrance, and Han Yu was leaning against the car door, looking around and glancing at her watch from time to time.

"good morning teacher."

Chen Xiaoxiao greeted them from afar.

Lin Chen simply nodded slightly.

When Han Yu saw the two of them coming to school together, her heart started pounding.

Why are these two studying together so early in the morning?

Could it be that they have already...?

"Teacher, don't make wild guesses. Xiaoxiao and I live in the same neighborhood."

Lin Chen immediately saw through Han Yu's thoughts and offered a direct explanation.

Hearing this, Han Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Chen, you and Chen Xiaoxiao are still young. It's fine to date, but you still need to be careful!"

"Get in the car, let's go!"

Chen Xiaoxiao was both amused and exasperated.

Sitting in the back seat, she whispered in Lin Chen's ear, "What exactly did you and Teacher Han talk about?"

Why did she jump straight into the topic of romance?

"Everything that needs to be said has been said, and Teacher Han knows it all."

Lin Chen said, completely unconcerned.

Chen Xiaoxiao's face turned bright red, and she angrily reached out to grab Lin Chen's soft waist and abdomen.

Then twist it hard.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Han Yu kept glancing at the rearview mirror while driving.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

She had never seen anyone so bold as to flirt with their teacher in all her years of teaching!

Are academic superstars amazing?

Well, those two are people I really can't afford to mess with.

have no choice!!!

After a half-hour drive, the three arrived at the test site for this selection competition.

There was only one test center in Donghai for this math Olympiad selection competition.

Coincidentally, it turned out to be Lin Chen's old school.

Donghai Secondary Vocational Technical School!

Lin Chen was quite surprised when he learned that his alma mater was actually his exam site.

Chen Xiaoxiao looked curiously at Lin Chen's former alma mater.

"So you were studying here for the past three years? Hey, Lin Chen, look over there!"

Following Chen Xiaoxiao's directions, Lin Chen suddenly noticed two banners hanging in the corridor outside his old classroom:

"Warmest congratulations to Lin Chen, a student from Class 4 of Grade 9, for achieving first place in the city's senior high school joint examination! A perfect score in all subjects!"

"Warmest congratulations to Lin Chen, a student from Class 4 of Grade 9, for winning the city's men's 100-meter sprint championship at the city's middle school games!"

Although it has been more than a month since I left.

But I never expected that my alma mater would still retain its legend.

Lin Chen's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Just then, Han Yu walked over with two admission tickets in her hands.

"These are your admission tickets. The exam will be held in the main conference room. Let me take you there."

"No need, Teacher Han, this is my territory, I know it better than you do."

Han Yu smiled and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot you used to study here. I'll wait for you in the car. Good luck!"

……

At 9:30 a.m., at test centers in provinces and cities across the country, students who wanted to join the national Olympic team entered their respective examination rooms according to the seats on their admission tickets.

This selection competition was incredibly difficult.

Don't be fooled by the fact that only Lin Chen and his friend from Donghai No.1 Middle School participated.

Those were people from No. 1 Middle School who gave up after learning that the two of them were going to participate.

Besides, there are quite a few people from other places who want to participate.

After all, being selected for the national Olympic team is almost equivalent to getting a ticket to university.

Anyone who makes it into the national Olympic team is highly sought after by top universities in China.

In the past, getting selected for the national Olympic team was a tough process, requiring overcoming numerous obstacles.

First, participants are selected at the city level, then at the provincial level, and finally at the national level.

Even if you successfully pass the national competition, you may not be able to represent the national team in the final.

Because after joining the national Olympic team, there are various training camps and exams, and in the end only 6 people can become the players who will represent the country in the final competition.

But this time the situation is completely different.

According to the information released so far, as long as you pass this exam and are selected, you will be directly included in the 6-person roster.

Therefore, the number of students taking the exam is quite large across the country.

There could very well be tens of thousands of people!

Selecting two people from tens of thousands of applicants is a probability that is probably even lower than that of the national civil service exam, which is known as the most difficult exam.

Therefore, even Lin Chen clenched his fists after entering the examination room.

"This time, we must give it our all!"

……

Meanwhile, in the capital city of Beijing.

In the office of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) organizing committee.

Many teachers from the organizing committee also looked at the selection test papers at almost the same time as the students participating in the selection competition.

To ensure fairness.

Even among the organizing committee members, no more than one teacher would have the opportunity to see the exam content in advance.

This was the first time most people had seen the content of this exam.

Then the office erupted in chaos.

"Teacher Xiao, why is this test so difficult?"

"Is this too difficult? I feel like it's even harder than the problems in last year's math Olympiad."

"Ms. Xiao, did you set this test paper? Can you explain what happened?"

Those present here can all be considered big names in the field of mathematics education in China.

But seeing the content of this exam paper, I couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

The difficulty of this exam is so high that even students from the mathematics departments of prestigious universities would probably have very few answers.

Most of the students participating in this selection competition are still in their first or second year of high school.

Is it really possible for anyone to finish a test like this?
