One, five, ten...
At first, it was nothing, but as time went on, with every word Lin Yi uttered, Dong Jingjing's heart skipped a beat.
Two minutes later, Dong Jingjing was completely dumbfounded. He could not believe that Lin Yi, who had once scored only forty points in chemistry, could now fluently recite the periodic table!
That's one hundred and eighteen elements! How could anyone memorize them all at a glance?
"Haha, sorry, Teacher Dong, but later I'll be waiting to hear you sing."
Dong Jingjing opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but this guy hadn't made a single mistake.
But he definitely didn't believe Lin Yi memorized it in such a short time. He thought Lin Yi must have already known it, but he just didn't know Lin Yi could do it.
"Hmph, don't think just because you can recite the periodic table that you're all that. The college entrance exam isn't just based on the periodic table."
Perhaps feeling embarrassed, he uttered this sentence and then directly stood up, holding his test papers, and walked out of the office.
"Teacher Dong, do you want me to help you prepare the lyrics?"
Lin Yi definitely wasn't going to let this guy, who often called his parents, off the hook so easily.
Just as Dong Jingjing was about to leave the office, Lin Yi shouted from behind, causing Dong Jingjing to stumble.
Watching his embarrassed demeanor, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly.
"You little rascal, acting so rude! Tell me honestly, is your memory really that good, or did you already know the periodic table by heart?"
Clearly, even the formidable Elder Mat was skeptical about Lin Yi's earlier display. It's not that there aren't people with excellent memories, but reaching such a level was unheard of.
"Of course, it's true! I didn't even know how many elements were in the periodic table before now."
Elder Mat looked at Lin Yi suspiciously, and finally, somewhat uncertain, said:
"Then let me test you? I'll randomly find a book, flip to a page, and you'll memorize it as fast as possible?"
For such basic tests, Lin Yi naturally had no objections.
Five minutes later, Elder Mat was thoroughly shocked. It was all true!
Lin Yi could actually remember everything at first glance!
While shocked, Elder Mat was also a bit resentful. This stinky boy, with such an incredible memory, why didn't he study properly all this time!
The college entrance exam is right around the corner; cramming now is too late! If he studied properly, getting into Qinghua or Beida wouldn't be a problem!
"No way! I can't let this boy stray off track! There are still four days! He has to learn as much as possible! If it doesn't work, I'll call his parents and have him repeat a year! Such a promising student can't be wasted!"
Thinking this, Elder Mat began rifling through, and moments later, a huge stack of books and lesson plans appeared on the table:
"Here, take this home and study it yourself. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me immediately! I'll also prepare materials for other subjects. These few days, even if you don't rest, you must make an effort to finish it all!"
Ringing...
Holding a huge stack of books, Lin Yi walked into the classroom just as the class bell rang. On the podium, Dong Jingjing saw him but ignored him, turning to Li Huiqun: "Li Huiqun, distribute the papers for me."
But even if he ignored Lin Yi, it was obvious Lin Yi wouldn't ignore him:
"Hehe, Teacher Dong, as a person, you should keep your word..."
After saying this, Lin Yi swaggered back to his seat and started reading by himself.
On the podium, Dong Jingjing silently cursed Lin Yi many times over, but still put on a smiling face as he addressed the students below:
"Haha, in a few days, you'll take the college entrance exam. Whether you can jump through the Dragon Gate depends on this. Here, I just wish you all conquer the college entrance exam. So, I'll sing Conquer for you! 'I was conquered by you like this ~ cutting off all my retreat routes ~...'"
Hearing this, Lin Yi curled his lip in disdain. This guy is just being stubborn in his refusal to admit defeat; that's his usual style.
Since he sang, Lin Yi didn't push further. After all, he had more important things to do and there was no point in wasting time.
…
Away from the classroom, back in the office, Elder Mat was on the phone.
"Yes, I didn't believe it at first either. This stinky boy really hid it well. He answered a perfect score on an English test in five minutes before my eyes."
"Haha, I'm calling because I want you to consider having him repeat a grade. I'm sure, if he repeats a year, he can definitely get into a top university like 985..."
Lin Yi's mom, busy at work, pinched her face in disbelief after hanging up with her son's teacher and murmured to herself:
"Am I dreaming?"
After speaking, she quickly dug out her phone to call her husband:
"Hey! Lao Lin! Our son's teacher just called! It wasn't our son causing trouble; the teacher was praising him..."
…
Perhaps Lin Yi studied too diligently, as the day quickly passed.
Within just one day, Lin Yi had grasped most of the high school curriculum. At this rate, he could probably finish all the courses by tomorrow.
When Lin Yi returned home with a stack of books from his teacher, his mom and dad were not yet back from work.
Seeing it was still early, he casually laid the books on the coffee table, feeling cheerful and decided to show off a bit by cooking dinner for his parents.
But after putting down the books, his gaze landed on a pile of trinkets on the coffee table, and his eyes lit up!
"Wow, this could definitely be a money-making opportunity!"
Looking over, there was a small paper box on the coffee table filled with broken porcelain pieces.
These weren't just broken bowls but ancient porcelain shards his dad had picked up from the antique market.
Apart from enjoying a drink, his dad's hobby was collecting antiques.
However, due to limited financial conditions, they couldn't afford whole antiques, so he collected these pieces bought for a few bucks each.
Of course, Lin Yi had no interest in these things before, but now it was different because he had a disassembly and reconstruction system!
Now, the meaning of these porcelain pieces changed completely!
