“Ding Ling, I’m here.” Li Chengqian walked out of the bookstore and happened to hear Ding Ling anxiously calling his name at the examination hall. He hurriedly responded.

“Captain, when did you come out? Why didn’t you tell us? We were almost worried to death.” Zhao Peng’s spirits lifted when he heard Li Chengqian’s voice. He ignored He Hongyun and ran to Li Chengqian’s side, helping him with some of the books he was carrying.

“I submitted my paper in advance and went to the bookstore next door to read,” Li Chengqian said with a smile.

“Don’t do this next time. I was getting worried.” Ding Ling also walked over. Her anxious eyes finally calmed down after seeing Li Chengqian. “Here’s your phone. You must bring it with you so that I can contact you.”

Li Chengqian handed his phone to Ding Ling as cell phones were not allowed in the competition hall.

“Mm, it won’t happen again! If there’s such a test next time, I’ll go to the hotel room to look for you after I’m done.” Li Chengqian took the phone and smiled at Ding Ling.

“Yes.” Because of the words ‘hotel room’, Ding Ling was reminded of what Tian Wenming said the night before. She blushed instantaneously, and even her ears turned red. Her heart was beating wildly, and she was nervous and embarrassed at the same time.

At this moment, He Hongyun walked over with a smug expression.

“Li Chengqian, I found this test very difficult.”

“It’s quite difficult,” Li Chengqian answered casually. The questions for this competition were not difficult for him, but for ordinary students, it was extremely difficult.

“What a pity, what a pity.” Suddenly, He Hongyun looked at Li Chengqian as if he was looking at a pitiful worm.

“If you hadn’t applied for leave on Friday, you would have been able to score an extra 30 marks. On Saturday, Dr. He helped us spot the topics for this test. We revised according to the topics he highlighted and indeed many of the test questions touched on these topics.”

“During the test just now, there were a total of 30 marks that came from the topics highlighted by Dr. He.” When He Hongyun said this, he felt extremely proud and vindicated.

“If you hadn’t applied for leave, you would definitely have gotten these 30 marks. Unfortunately, you didn’t cherish such a good opportunity. Are you regretting it now?” He Hongyun said with a hypocritical expression. His gaze towards Li Chengqian was already filled with mockery.

After saying that, he kept looking at Li Chengqian. He wanted to see regret on Li Chengqian’s face.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed. From the beginning until the end, Li Chengqian had a calm expression, and he wasn’t affected at all.

Li Chengqian was even secretly a tad amused by the high-spirited He Hongyun. If nothing went wrong, he should have scored full marks in this test. He didn’t lose any marks and thus had nothing to regret.

What did He Jingguo’s highlighted topics have to do with him?

An extra 30 marks? He had already scored full marks, so how could he score an extra 30 marks?

Regret? That was impossible.

He Hongyun’s smile gradually disappeared when he realized that Li Chengqian was not regretful at all.

Then, he pointed at the big screen. His tone was arrogant, and his face was smug. He said again, “Li Chengqian, look at the rankings. I’m in the first place! 73 marks!”

“You’re not even on the charts.” He was furious to see Li Chengqian so calm.

Even though he wasn’t on the charts, Li Chengqian was still so calm and arrogant. This made He Hongyun especially upset.

“So, what right do you have to be arrogant with me?” When he said this, He Hongyun’s voice became cold as if he was questioning Li Chengqian.

“He Hongyun, please don’t think too highly of yourself. I don’t regret taking leave, and that’s because I don’t need training!”

“Furthermore, it was never me who was arrogant, but you. Don’t you know how conceited and arrogant you are?”

“There’s one more thing. Only 250 papers have been graded now. Perhaps I’m not on the charts yet only because my paper hasn’t been graded.”

“Lastly, please step aside. The books I bought are a little heavy. I need to take them back to the hotel first. Please don’t block the way.” Li Chengqian looked at He Hongyun calmly. He answered He Hongyun’s questions one by one, calmly and slowly, and he didn’t show any emotions at all.

“Did you hear what our captain said? Get out of the way. Move aside!” Zhao Peng wasn’t as polite as Li Chengqian.

“Li Chengqian, let’s go. Ignore this egomaniac. Let’s go back to the hotel and put the books away first.” Ding Ling walked over and wanted to help Li Chengqian carry the books, but Li Chengqian declined.

“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s go back to the hotel.” Tian Wenming walked over at this moment and spoke with a straight face.

“Li Chengqian, it sucks not to do well, right? It’s very difficult to accept this reality, right? But this is reality. You have to accept it.” Bi Jialiang’s tone was joyful. Li Chengqian’s poor results made him feel especially happy.

“Li Chengqian, thank you for refusing to let me join your team! Otherwise, I would have been shortchanged.” Jian Qingli didn’t say anything, but she was thinking this in her head.

“I had thought that you were very good, but now I know that there are many people better than you.” When Li Chengqian scored full marks for the second mock exam and the programming theory selection test, Jian Qingli was under the wrong impression that Li Chengqian was invincible and could achieve anything.

But she realized that she was wrong after this test.

Li Chengqian was not omnipotent. He was not as good as He Hongyun in programming theory.

It was displayed on the big screen that 268 people had been graded. Only a few papers had not been graded yet.

Li Chengqian’s paper was not likely to be one of these ungraded ones. What did this mean?

This meant that Li Chengqian was not in the top ten of this theory test.

Jian Qingli looked up at the big screen again and deliberately took a look at the results in the tenth place. Sixty marks!

This meant that Li Chengqian didn’t even pass the theory test.

“Thank you for rejecting me and giving me a chance to go to Divine Dragon University.” Jian Qingli smiled. She was a little terrified, to think that if Li Chengqian had agreed at that time, she might really have been eliminated in the preliminary round.

“Although He Hongyun is arrogant, he is capable and comes from a good family. He is indeed a more reliable person than Li Chengqian.” Thinking of the BMW that He Jingguo drove over in the morning and the 20 million yuan that He Jingguo mentioned in his chat with Tian Wenming, Jian Qingli felt that He Hongyun was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

“Li Chengqian, the theory test is only the beginning. In the next segment of the competition, I will still beat you…” He Hongyun said proudly. Not only did he want to crush Li Chengqian in the theory test, but he also wanted to crush Li Chengqian in the programming segment in the afternoon.

At this moment, everyone in the square suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at the big screen in disbelief.

In an instant, the top ten rankings that had remained unchanged for some time suddenly got updated.

The first place became the third place.

First place, Li Chengqian, Tianyi High School, 100 marks.

Second place, Du Siyu, Tianbao First High School, 90 marks.
