Chapter 14: Before the Results Are Announced
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, Li Chengqian listened attentively in class.
He did a mental calculation, he still needed 7,000 experience value points to purchase a Profession Slot. During class, he could obtain 10 experience value points per minute.
He needed to listen attentively in class for 700 minutes! Fifty minutes per class, 7 classes a day.
It would take two days.
In fact, Li Chengqian had long known that one can upgrade very quickly in the early stages of the Master of All Professions game. In the later stages, it was almost impossible to upgrade quickly as it would cost more and more experience value points to upgrade.
“Li Chengqian has really turned over a new leaf? He’s really prepared to study seriously?” Jian Qingli and Li Chengqian were deskmates. She was the clearest about Li Chengqian’s studies.
Li Chengqian had persevered for 3 days already.
If he was only pretending to be serious, it was impossible for him to last so long.
“It’s too late to start trying now.”
Then, she turned her attention to yesterday’s exam. “Bi Jialiang told me that the results of yesterday’s computing exam will be out this afternoon.”
“After the results are out, I have to say a few words to Li Chengqian so that he will stop bragging in future.” Thinking back on how Li Chengqian had invited her to join her team, Jian Qingli was especially angry. It was simply a scam.
In fact, she felt that Li Chengqian had purposely said those words in front of Bi Jialiang. He was just trying to disgust her and to deliberately sow discord between the two of them.
“Fortunately, Bi Jialiang isn’t a petty person. He didn’t get angry with me because of this.”
“In the future, I have to stay away from Li Chengqian so that Bi Jialiang won’t think that there’s something going on between us.” Joining the competition with Bi Jialiang might get her into Divine Dragon University. Jian Qingli would never miss such an opportunity.
Just as Jian Qingli was deep in her thoughts, the bell rang. The morning class was over.
[You have accumulated 200 minutes of listening time. You have received 2,000 experience value points. You have 4,717 experience value points left in the Experience Pool.]
[You have read for 40 minutes. You have received 40 experience value points. You have 4,757 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
Li Chengqian took a casual glance behind him, stood up and walked towards Grade 12 Class 1.
“Li Chengqian, are you going to Grade 12 Class 1 to look for Ding Ling?” Jian Qingli suddenly asked.
“Mm!” Li Chengqian nodded. He had made an appointment with Ding Ling. At noon, they would go and collect the results together, then they would go to the cafeteria and the library.
“I’m going to look for Bi Jialiang too. Let’s go together.” Jian Qingli walked over.
“I’ve made an appointment with Bi Jialiang. We’ll go to Teacher Tian in the afternoon to get the results of yesterday’s exam. Are you going?” Jian Qingli deliberately asked. Then, she had a teasing smile on her face, and she was waiting to see Li Chengqin’s reaction.
She thought that Li Chengqian would be evasive and would show signs of embarrassment or other emotions.
But Li Chengqian said calmly, “Going!”
“I vaguely heard you say yesterday that the questions for the exam are very simple, right?” Jian Qingli wasn’t disappointed. She deliberately started to talk about yesterday’s incident to mock Li Chengqian, wanting to see his reaction.
“That’s right!” Li Chengqian nodded calmly.
“You’re so stubborn. You’re quite good at pretending, aren’t you.” Jian Qingli pursed her lips. Yesterday, after Bi Jialiang’s exam, he told her that the questions were especially difficult. Li Chengqian definitely wouldn’t know how to answer the questions. He was just bragging.
“”Since the questions were very simple, how many marks do you think you can score?” Jian Qingli followed up on what Li Chengqian said and asked.
“100 marks! Full marks!” Li Chengqian said without thinking. His intelligence had already reached 19 points, almost twice that of an ordinary person.
He saw through Jian Qingli’s thoughts at a glance.
Jian Qingli must have thought that he was bragging!
She was just waiting to mock him after the results were released!
But in reality, what Li Chengqian said from start to finish was the truth and nothing but the truth.
Therefore, he wasn’t at all bothered about what Jian Qingli was thinking!
Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Jian Qingli’s eyes immediately widened as she looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief.
“100 marks? You have the cheek! Bi Jialiang told me yesterday that the questions were too difficult, so he could only score around 60 points.” Compared to Li Chengqian, Jian Qingli naturally believed in Bi Jialiang.
“When the results are out, let’s see if you still have the cheek to do so.” She thought to herself.
Ding Ling and Bi Jialiang were waiting at the entrance of Grade 12 Class 1. The two of them were also making small talk.
“Ding Ling, I heard that Li Chengqian felt relaxed in yesterday’s exam?” Bi Jialiang’s eyes hid his disdain as he asked.
“It shouldn’t be difficult,” Ding Ling replied indifferently. She didn’t have the same gentleness and enthusiasm that she had when she was with Li Chengqian.
The disdain in Bi Jialiang’s eyes intensified.
Not difficult? What a joke!
He racked his brains the day before and could only manage to pass the exam!
Who was Li Chengqian? How much skill did he have? What qualifications did he have to say that it wasn’t difficult!
More like he didn’t know how to answer a single question!
“Did Li Chengqian tell you how many marks he could score?” Bi Jialiang continued to ask.
“No!” Ding Ling replied coldly.
Actually, Li Chengqian had told her that if nothing unexpected happened in the exam, he would be able to score full marks!
However, she felt neither need nor obligation to tell Bi Jialiang this.
Even if she did, the arrogant Bi Jialiang wouldn’t believe it, so there was no need to waste time.
Actions speak louder than words. When they get the results from Teacher Tian later, Bi Jialiang would have to accept the fact, whether he believed it or not.
“Ding Ling, actually, have you thought about it? What Li Chengqian said yesterday were all lies. He was just bragging. In fact, he didn’t even know how to answer a single question.” After interacting with him for the past few days, Bi Jialiang realized that Li Chengqian was especially arrogant but his grades were lousy.
...
He was always like this, staying calm as if he was in control and beyond caring.
This was especially detestable.
In addition, Li Chengqian badmouthed him in front of Jian Qingli, which made him hate him even more.
“Hehe...” Ding Ling sneered as if she had heard the lamest joke.
Li Chengqian wouldn’t lie to her! Since he said he would score full marks, then he would definitely do so!
“Then has it occurred to you that you found the questions difficult because your standard was too low? Li Chengqian found the questions easy because he’s better at programming than you.” Ding Ling retorted. In fact, this was what she really thought in her heart.
“You mean, Li Chengqian’s standard is higher than mine?” Bi Jialiang smiled. Other than ridicule, there was no other emotion in that smile.
From beginning to end, Bi Jialiang had never treated Li Chengqian as an equal opponent.
In his eyes, Li Chengqian was merely a target for amusement.
“Li Chengqian’s standard is indeed higher than yours!” Ding Ling replied with absolute certainty.
Bi Jialiang sneered and said confidently, “Alright, let’s wait and see.”
...
“When we go to Teacher Tian’s place to see the results later, you’ll know whose standard is higher.”
“When the time comes, I hope you can still speak with such confidence.”
