Chapter 6: The College Entrance Exam

In the month leading up to the college entrance exam, Luo Feng poured almost all his energy into reviewing. As he progressed through his review and tested himself with countless mock exams, his confidence for the college entrance exam grew stronger and stronger.

"For the college entrance exam for Jiangnan's No.1 Military Academy, it's practically in the bag," this was Luo Feng's thought.

...

On June 7th, the first day of the college entrance exam. The college entrance exam in Huaxia country lasts for three days, from June 7th to 9th, just like before the Great Nirvana period.

At the No.1 High School in Yi'an District.

According to the exam room arrangements, Luo Feng, originally from the No.3 Middle School, was taking the exam at this No.1 High School.

"Daughter, do your best."

"Don't worry, Dad."

"Tiantian, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

...

Outside the gate of the No.1 High School, a large number of college entrance exam candidates and their parents gathered. At the gate of the No.1 High School, there was also a row of police officers holding real guns and live ammunition.

"Xiaofeng, relax during the exam. Even if you can't get into the No.1 Military Academy, getting into the No.2 Military Academy is also good. Take it easy!" Luo Hongguo, his father, looked at his son and said with a smile.

"Okay." Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

"Beep, beep." With a loud honk, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz S600, all black and exuding a noble aura, slowly approached the gate of the No.1 High School under the escort of police motorcycles. The attention of the surrounding candidates' parents immediately shifted to the car.

The latest Mercedes-Benz S600, accelerating to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in just 1.6 seconds, with a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour. Of course, this performance was nothing special. The most attractive aspect of the Mercedes-Benz S600 was its long-standing brand history since the Great Nirvana period.

Three people stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz S600 and walked towards the school gate, chatting and laughing.

"The bald one on the left is Director Zhang of the Yi'an District Police Station."

"The one on the right is Director Liu from the Education Bureau."

"The one in the middle must be the martial artist in charge of the exam security." Many parents and candidates outside the exam room were discussing, most of their eyes focused on the man in the center, filled with excitement, admiration, and curiosity.

Nowadays, the battle between humans and monsters has been ongoing. Ordinary people are prohibited from leaving the urban area, while warriors can fight monsters one-on-one. The entire human society is very grateful to the warriors for their great contributions to humanity. Naturally, ordinary people admire warriors.

Warriors belong to a group of people with superior status in the human community.

"That's a warrior." Father Luo Hongguo also looked at the man. "Every time during the college entrance exam, a warrior is invited to be the overall security commander."

"Warrior." Luo Feng looked over. The warrior gave off a daunting feeling, with eyes like those of a cold-blooded snake, rarely smiling. Faced with Director Zhang of the police station and Director Liu from the Education Bureau, the warrior only nodded indifferently from time to time, ignoring them completely.

"In the near future, I will also obtain the title of warrior!" Luo Feng silently declared in his heart.

"Ka-ka~~~"

The gate of the No.1 High School slowly opened.

"Enter." Voices came immediately.

"Xiaofeng, it's time to enter. Go ahead." Father Luo Hongguo urged, and beside him, mother Gong Xinlan added, "Go ahead, Mom will go back to cook for you later. Your dad and brother are waiting for you here after you finish the exam."

"Okay." Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

"Brother." Luo Hua, sitting in a wheelchair, raised his fist to Luo Feng and smiled slightly. "Do your best!"

"Good luck." Luo Feng also raised his fist.

Then Luo Feng turned and walked through the crowd of candidates, passing the inspection, and entered the school gate one by one.

...

In the exam classroom, the exam admission ticket and ID card were placed on the upper right corner of the desk for the invigilator to check, and the exam papers began to be distributed.

"2056 Jiangnan City College Entrance Exam Science Test Form A" - clearly written at the top of the exam paper.

"The first session is the science exam!"

Looking at the exam paper in front of him, Luo Feng scanned it briefly, then glanced at the last few major questions, which seemed familiar. "This time the questions shouldn't be too difficult. If the questions aren't difficult, I'll have a hard time showing my advantage in science. I'll have to be careful and do the questions I know well to avoid losing points unnecessarily."

Luo Feng immediately began to concentrate on writing.

...

The college entrance exam consists of three sessions: the science exam, the humanities exam, and the final mathematics exam. Each subject has a maximum score of 250 points, and the total maximum score is 750 points.

The science exam comprises physics, chemistry, and biology.

The humanities exam comprises Chinese, history, politics, and geography.

The mathematics exam, of course, is solely mathematics.

After the Great Nirvana period, especially with the ongoing battles between humans and monsters, people desperately studied technology and martial arts. This made everyone realize the importance of "mathematics" even more. Anyone who wants to achieve great success in fields such as computers, biology, and physics needs a solid foundation in mathematics.

Therefore, in cultural education, the importance of mathematics is emphasized. Luo Feng is a bit weaker in humanities but has a great advantage in mathematics.

...

June 7th, science exam.

June 8th, humanities exam.

In the blink of an eye, it was June 9th.

...

Inside the exam room, the math paper had just been handed out.

"It's just this math exam left." Luo Feng took a deep breath. "The science paper wasn't difficult, and I think I did well. I also performed normally in the humanities exam! In other words, my performance in both the science and humanities exams should be within my normal range. For the math exam, as long as I don't mess up too much, I can definitely get into the No.1 Military Academy in Jiangnan."

"

Work hard!"

Encouraging himself, Luo Feng began to focus on the questions.

The entire exam room was quiet, and many candidates frowned, indicating that the questions were quite difficult. Mathematics questions in the college entrance exam are usually challenging because they aim to select future scientific research talents.

"This is really difficult." Luo Feng also felt the difficulty of the questions. "Harder than previous years! But... the harder, the better!"

If the questions were simple, those who were worse at mathematics might still score around 220 points, while he might only get around 230 points. The advantage would be small.

But if the questions were difficult.

He might only score 210 points, but those worse than him might only score 150 points. In this case, the advantage would be significant.

"c***k!" There was a crisp sound.

The invigilator immediately looked over, only to see a candidate breaking the ballpoint pen in his hand. The candidate frowned and gritted his teeth, staring at the exam paper, apparently struggling with the extremely difficult math questions. Then, the candidate threw the broken pen aside and took out another ballpoint pen to continue the exam.

"Looking at the candidate's appearance, this year's math exam is very difficult." The invigilator thought to himself.

Indeed, almost every candidate in the entire exam room was frowning and struggling to think. Many candidates were so anxious that tears welled up in their eyes.

Students with poor mathematical foundations felt completely lost when they couldn't solve one question after another. Faced with such a test paper, those candidates were on the verge of collapse.

...

An hour later, inside the exam room.

The math exam lasted for two and a half hours in total.

At this moment, Luo Feng had finished the "multiple choice" and "fill-in-the-blank" sections, leaving only the "problem-solving" section. In the math paper, the total score for the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank sections was 90 points. The problem-solving section consisted of five major questions. Each of the five questions was worth 30 points, and the last question was worth 40 points. After all, only the major problem-solving questions could better assess the students' mathematical abilities.

"It's really difficult. I couldn't solve two of the fill-in-the-blank questions." Luo Feng took a deep breath. "Next is the problem-solving section, which is the key to scoring. Getting one more question right means a difference of thirty or forty points!"

The problem-solving section consists of five major questions, with the first four questions worth 30 points each and the last question worth 40 points.

"Hmm?" Luo Feng encountered a difficult problem in the first question of the problem-solving section.

On a piece of scratch paper, Luo Feng continuously calculated and pondered.

"Yes, if I slightly transform this part here, reverse it, then it can be converted into the required equation, right?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up. Swish! Swish! Swish! Once he broke through this difficult point, writing it out became much easier. He completed the first question with a smooth flow, then carefully checked it again.

"Good, the first question is done." Luo Feng looked at the watch on his left wrist and his heart skipped a beat. "It took me 20 minutes for the first question? I must speed up."

Luo Feng lowered his head to look at the second question.

At first glance, Luo Feng felt it seemed easy and immediately started calculating on the scratch paper.

"Hmm, that's not right." Luo Feng found that the approach he thought of was completely wrong, so he furrowed his brow and began to think deeply. As time passed, Luo Feng delved deeper into the question. "Yes, it should be like this. But how should I prove the next step?" Luo Feng's mind was racing at this moment.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly, I can't waste too much time on this question. How should I prove it?" Luo Feng felt anxious. Time management is essential during the exam, but the math questions, with their large point values, cannot afford too many mistakes for each college entrance exam candidate who wants to achieve good results.

At this moment, completely immersed in the exam questions, Luo Feng didn't notice the pulse display on his left-hand watch.

160... 170... 180...

Luo Feng felt his heartbeat speeding up, but he thought it was just the anxiety and nervousness during the exam, so he didn't pay attention.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Luo Feng suddenly felt as if his heart was being struck by someone, his vision blurred, and he was awakened only then. "What's wrong with me? Why is my heartbeat so uncomfortable?" Luo Feng looked down at the pulse display on his watch.

230!

This number made Luo Feng's face turn pale. Since he fell into a coma at the age of twelve, he had never seen his heart rate exceed 180.

"It feels terrible." Luo Feng felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest, the veins on his forehead and arms bulging, and his body twitching uncontrollably, looking terrifying.

"No, no - slow down, slow down." Luo Feng sensed that something was wrong and shouted in his mind, his eyes fixed on the watch.

"236... 242... 251...!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His heart felt like a drum, emitting a deep rumbling sound, and his blood rushed rapidly.

As Luo Feng's eyes blurred, he felt a severe pain coming from his brain—

"Ah, ah." Luo Feng couldn't help but make a sound.

"This candidate, what's wrong with you?" The invigilator rushed over, shocked, as he watched Luo Feng.

At this moment, Luo Feng's face was flushed, as if he was about to bleed, and the veins on his forehead and arms were bulging, as if he was about to burst, and he was twitching all over, looking ferocious.

"No, no - slow down." Luo Feng felt a sense of urgency, but he couldn't slow down. He stared at the watch on his wrist, his pulse rising steadily.

"236... 242... 251...!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, Luo Feng felt like his heart was being struck, his vision blurred, and he lost consciousness instantly. In his coma, he faintly heard a voice—

"This candidate, wake up, wake up. Quick, quick, call an ambulance!"
