Chapter 412 Fishing has begun

Li Qingrong noticed the strange looks around her and couldn’t help but turn to her side.

Jiang Nian was holding a test paper and a pen, and began to do the questions as if no one else was there.

She didn’t find it strange; in fact, she thought it was quite normal. After all, the competition was delayed, and she didn’t know what they were dawdling for.

“Tsk, what’s with the act?”

Someone couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help but speak up.

“So diligent, is he from the elite class? Even if it’s the Olympiad, it’s useless. To put it bluntly, studying hard alone isn’t enough.”

“Fake effort, just to move himself. Only doing what he knows, memorizing what won’t be on the test, his grades will never improve.”

“Indeed, there is such a thing as natural talent for studying.”

“No, this is just too embarrassing for him. Even if I scored 600 points, I wouldn’t dare to do a test in public.”

Suddenly, a boy walked up to Jiang Nian. He first glanced at Li Qingrong, then patted Jiang Nian’s shoulder and said, “Buddy, I used to be just like you.”

Jiang Nian looked up, a bewildered expression on his face. He glanced at the class monitor beside him and thought, ‘There really are idiots who don’t know Li Qingrong.’

He had a change of thought; Li Qingrong was from the fourth floor after all. She usually didn’t give speeches under the national flag, so there were probably many people who didn’t know her.

But that’s fine, the 【Fishing】 was successful.

A third-year student can’t go a day without showing off; this guy is—!! (Tactical lean back)

“Is that so?”

“That’s right, I used to study like that too.” The boy sighed, “But without understanding, my grades didn’t budge.”

Jiang Nian scratched his face and asked curiously.

“You’re also stuck at 616 points?”

“Six hundred and one…” The boy heard the precise number 616 and immediately froze. “I…” He couldn’t continue speaking halfway through his sentence.

He was from the liberal arts Olympiad. He only found Li Qingrong exceptionally beautiful and couldn’t stand Jiang Nian’s king-of-showing-off act, so he came over to say a few words.

With the same score in the college entrance examination for liberal arts and science, in some extreme cases, it’s possible for one to get into a top-tier university and the other into a vocational college.

If one scores 616 in the science college entrance examination, they are guaranteed to get into a key university.

Several people around saw someone go up, and they were either feeling embarrassed for Jiang Nian or grinning, ready to watch the show.

Suddenly, the anticipated embarrassing scene for Jiang Nian did not occur.

Instead, the boy who had approached suddenly froze in place, then his face slowly turned red, and finally, he left, full of embarrassment.

And Jiang Nian was still writing on his test paper.

Li Qingrong was a little curious and glanced at Jiang Nian again. Although she didn’t understand, she felt that Jiang Nian was doing it on purpose.

A little… cute.

Jiang Nian stood there, head bowed, writing on his test paper, while tightly suppressing a smile.

Damn, the 【Fishing】 skill is really interesting.

As long as he activated it, he could always catch some strange things. No matter what, he wouldn’t come back empty-handed.

Unfortunately, Fishing isn’t a strong conceptual skill. It seems to have little effect on creatures other than fish, and no one took the bait for a long time.

Jiang Nian guessed that perhaps after one ‘fish’ was startled away, the surrounding’school of fish’ couldn’t figure out his background.

Or perhaps they saw something and chose to stay away.

After a while, just as Jiang Nian was about to turn off the Fishing skill and focus on finishing the question on his test paper, Old Liu, the team leader, arrived.

“Oh, Jiang Nian is so diligent? As expected of someone who improved by 200 points in three months. If you’re not the inspirational star, who is?”

That praise was too blunt.

The Fishing skill is terrifying!

Upon hearing this, the surrounding “school of fish” scattered instantly.

“Damn, 200 points improvement?”

“An improvement of 200 points, even if the starting point was 300, that’s over 500 points. Is 300 a score a human can get?”

“Inspirational star…don’t fantasize, there’s a 500-point threshold.”

“Damn it, he’s totally rotten, he’s fishing here!”

The “school of fish” was startled by Old Liu and scattered in all directions.

Jiang Nian couldn’t help but sigh and casually turned off 【Fishing】; this thing had almost no effect on the people around him.

Old Liu, this guy, still isn’t quite familiar with the game.

Never mind, at least Old Liu gives the card.

“You all… well… work hard.” Old Liu suddenly felt he couldn’t keep up the forced praise.

He clearly remembered feeling incredibly frustrated when he first walked in and saw Jiang Nian standing with his Tsinghua-Peking University seed student. How did he end up praising Jiang Nian as he got closer?

Strange!

“Okay, I should be able to win the championship without any surprises.” Jiang Nian said, simultaneously glancing around with his peripheral vision, noticing no one was paying attention.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart; not activating Fishing really wasn’t working.

“A championship is good, but don’t push yourself too hard.” Old Liu patted his shoulder, “Last time you said you wanted a card or a thermos?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian immediately smiled.

The competition rule was that if a student won the championship,

The accompanying teacher would also receive prizes. Although it wasn’t money, they would get a thermos and a meal card, among other things.

Even though Old Liu had a hundred flaws, he still remembered the benefits he had promised him after all this time. He was a good teacher!

Loyalty!

Old Liu never kept anything to himself; if there were benefits, he truly shared them!

“It’s a meal card, Teacher.” Jiang Nian’s grin almost reached his ears; he had truly been poor before, so he definitely wanted any benefits.

“Alright, come find me if you win.” Old Liu nodded.

“Don’t worry.” Jiang Nian immediately puffed out his chest, “Shooting three arrows in a second isn’t my limit; I’m just afraid the teacher won’t see my attitude clearly!”

Capital L Loyalty! Raising Old Liu’s banner high.

Li Qingrong had no reaction throughout, occasionally glancing at Jiang Nian.

Soon, the check-in ended.

A group of people took turns going up according to their classes. This once again highlighted Zhennan Middle School’s core principle: academic performance above all else.

“Who’s first?”

“It seems to start from Class Zero. Let’s see how those top students shoot.”

“Laughing so hard, someone just missed a shot.”

“Maybe they were nervous, but then again. Top students don’t have that much time to play this; a little perfunctory effort is fine.”

Overhead were dense white fluorescent lights, making the activity room as bright as day.

Jiang Nian was in the male group, holding his test paper. He turned to look in the direction of the girls, wondering how Li Qingrong was doing.

It was almost his turn, so Jiang Nian looked down at his test paper.

“This question requires mental calculation?”

The students standing in front of and behind Jiang Nian immediately fell silent.

What’s he pretending for?

The boy behind him really couldn’t take it anymore. His cold smile was so fixed on his face it was almost rigid, and he couldn’t help but remind him.

“Buddy, stop looking at the test paper, it’s almost your turn.”

“Oh, thanks.” Jiang Nian looked up as if waking from a dream, turned around and said, “Brother, you’re really a good person.”

The boy who inexplicably received a ‘good person card’: “

“The place to do test papers should be the classroom. You can go back and write slowly after the competition; really don’t do it in a place like this.”

The boy hadn’t finished speaking when the referee teacher looked at the list and then at Jiang Nian.

“Next, Olympiad Class Three – Jiang Nian.”

“Here.”

“Okay, you’re Jiang Nian, right?” The teacher checked again. “Alright, go on up, shoot ten arrows.”

The boy: “

Damn it, it’s the big idiot from the science Olympiad class.

Just because he has good grades, he thinks he’s something special? He can’t be this pretentious. This isn’t an exam room; he’s really acting like he’s hot stuff.

Show off your mother!

Many people shared his thoughts, having stared at Jiang Nian for who knows how many minutes.

At this moment, their gazes also involuntarily turned towards him.

Jiang Nian’s hand trembled, and several arrows, like meteors, flew one after another, tracing a graceful arc in mid-air.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, all hit!

The group of people was completely dumbfounded, and the small corner immediately fell silent.

Jiang Nian clapped his hands and pulled out the test paper from his pocket again.

“How do you do this question again?”
