Legacy of the Stars

Chapter 8: Entrance Examination

Ningcheng No. 1 High School is the only key high school in Ningcheng County. It is also a provincial key high school in Jiangnan Province with a century-old history, known for its strict teaching and outstanding talent cultivation.

Of course, the most crucial factor in evaluating a high school's teaching level is its entrance exam results. Despite being a county-level high school, Ningcheng No. 1 High School has consistently shown decent performance, with three or four students getting into the country's top two universities each year, along with two or three hundred students into first-tier universities and over a thousand into second-tier universities.

Although this may seem insignificant compared to the insane performance of various schools across the country, it is still commendable for a high school in a remote county. After all, it's just a small-town high school.

The third year of high school is the most critical year in high school. Although the summer vacation is still half a month away from ending, all third-year students have already returned to school early.

What awaits them is an entrance exam conducted entirely in the mode of the college entrance examination.

In one of the classrooms of Ningcheng No. 1 High School, Liu Yuan silently put down his pen and carefully checked his math paper. A perfect score was guaranteed.

Since obtaining the inheritance seed, Liu Yuan's brain has been continuously developed under the transformation of the gene optimization fluid, and his learning ability has soared.

Math had always been Liu Yuan's best subject. His foundation was decent, and after just a few days of reviewing high school math tutorials, Liu Yuan could consistently score full marks in subsequent math tests, spending less and less time on the questions.

For this entrance exam, he only took thirty minutes. While others were still racking their brains and scratching their heads, Liu Yuan had already easily completed all the math problems.

"Grandpa and grandma are in much better health now, even their appetite has increased. I can finally rest assured."

While others were struggling with their problems, Liu Yuan was thinking about his family.

Previously, Liu Yuan could never fully devote himself to his studies. He was worried about tuition and living expenses, and he feared losing his closest relatives due to his grandparents' poor health.

This was why Liu Yuan's grades had always been poor. Poor family conditions, a hard life, and constant worries made it difficult for him to fully immerse himself in his studies.

After curing his grandparents' illnesses with the life repair device in the inheritance seed, and earning enough tuition and living expenses by working during the summer vacation, Liu Yuan could finally fully dedicate himself to his third-year studies.

"Math is the simplest for me now. The high school content is no longer challenging. The next step is to start learning college-level math."

"Math is not a problem, but to get into a good university, especially the top two universities, math alone is not enough."

"For top students, math is usually full marks. It's unrealistic to rely on math to create a gap."

"For top students, they can usually score full marks in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and English. The real gap is in Chinese."

Liu Yuan was thinking about his study plan.

Liu Yuan's original grades were very ordinary, just enough to get into a second-tier university at Ningcheng No. 1 High School. He never thought about getting into a prestigious university, let alone the top two universities.

But now it's different. With the gene optimization fluid, Liu Yuan's genes were continuously improving, and his brain was being developed. He could remember everything he read.

Naturally, Liu Yuan was confident in aiming for better schools, even the top two universities.

"My weak point now is English. My English grades have always been poor, seriously dragging me down. I used to struggle to pass, scoring only 70 or 80 out of 150. It's really bad."

"Next is Chinese. To get into the top two universities, high Chinese scores are crucial. I need to score high in Chinese to have a chance."

"My previous Chinese scores were just slightly above passing, around 110 each time. Many lost points can be made up by rote memorization. Now, with my strong memory, I can quickly make up for this."

"For this Chinese exam, my score shouldn't be lower than 130. But breaking into higher scores is very difficult. The key is the essay. Writing well is crucial, and having beautiful handwriting is even more important. My handwriting is average, so I must practice hard and read more excellent literary works."

Liu Yuan silently planned his studies. Without worries about living expenses or tuition, and with no concerns about his grandparents, he could fully dedicate himself to his studies and create a suitable study plan.

"Scoring full marks in the science comprehensive exam shouldn't be difficult. My foundation is decent, and after reviewing a few times and doing some classic exercises, it should be easy to score full marks."

"Okay, the focus next is English and Chinese."

After setting his plan, Liu Yuan checked the time. There was still an hour left for the math exam, so he couldn't waste it.

"Seed, play English-related learning content."

He silently commanded the intelligent program in his mind.

"Yes~"

Soon, a large number of English teaching videos appeared in Liu Yuan's mind, all from excellent national teachers, detailing the key points of high school English teaching and exams.

"Having the inheritance seed makes learning earthly knowledge so easy and convenient. I can easily connect to learn any content and directly imprint it into my mind. Learning is much more convenient."

Liu Yuan studied while sighing.

As Liu Yuan immersed himself in his studies, the other students in the exam hall were still racking their brains, scratching their heads, or scribbling on scratch paper.

The entrance exam questions were deliberately difficult, aiming to give these third-year students a wake-up call, making them realize the challenges of the upcoming college entrance examination and motivate them to fully dedicate themselves to their studies.

"Ding-ling-ling~ Ding-ling-ling~"

Finally, the bell rang, signaling the end of the math exam. Many students reluctantly handed in their papers and immediately started discussing the math exam.

"Liu Yuan, this math exam was too difficult. I think I messed it up."

As soon as Liu Yuan left the exam hall, his classmate, roommate, and middle school friend Hu Huirong immediately came over to complain.

"Have confidence, don't guess, you definitely messed it up."

Liu Yuan smiled and teased his friend.

"See, I knew I wasn't the only one who messed it up. The questions were too abnormal. You must be in the same boat."

Hu Huirong seemed to miss the point of Liu Yuan's words.

"The questions were tough, but I think I can get full marks."

Liu Yuan boasted, making Hu Huirong not believe a word.

"Don't comfort yourself like that. I know math is your strong suit. If you don't score high in math, your total score will be low, especially since your English is so poor."

"You don't believe me?"

"Who would believe you? If you score full marks in this math exam, I'll livestream myself washing my hair upside down, I promise."

"You'll see when the scores come out. I'm looking forward to your performance."

"You used to be honest and never bragged. What happened this summer? You not only got better looking but also learned to boast."

"I never boast, believe it or not!"

"Tsk~"
