After the Mathematical Olympiad training camp, Teacher Yang Lin came to the principal's office excitedly.

"School Luo, School Luo!"

Walking into the office, Teacher Yang Lin said to Principal Luo: "Surprise! A huge surprise!"

"Oh? What surprise?"

Principal Luo looked full of hope, "Looking at how excited you are, this is a big surprise! Let's hear it?"

"Today's performance of Lu Li and Liu Qin gave me a huge surprise!"

Teacher Yang Lin sat opposite the desk, took out a stack of manuscript paper, placed it on Principal Luo's desk, and said with a smile: "Lu Li and Liu Qin's mathematical level is far beyond our expectations!"

"What's this?"

Principal Luo is not a math teacher, and he has not been in class for a long time, so he can't understand the manuscript in front of him... he can't understand at all.

"The question done by Lu Li and Liu Qin!"

Teacher Yang Lin pointed to the manuscript paper and said excitedly: "This morning, I gave them a test question for last year's International Mathematical Olympiad. I originally put pressure on them. Unexpectedly, Lu Li and Liu Qin are so strong."

His fingertips passed by the manuscript paper, and Teacher Yang Lin continued, "Look, they solved it! They solved three problems with their own methods and new methods."

"so……"

Principal Luo was a little confused about what the concept of "a new method solves three problems".

"Dong Ke, I have trained him for a year, and this set of questions was given to him a month ago. He used his own method to solve two questions."

Teacher Yang Lin's voice rose a little bit, "Now, Lu Li and Liu Qin only took one day and a few hours to make three tricks."

"You mean...they are stronger than Dong Ke?"

Principal Luo had already understood and a surprise burst out in his eyes, "That's great! Great! It's really unexpected! I thought they would not be able to achieve results next year, but I didn't expect that they would be so strong now."

"Uh... Strictly speaking, this doesn't prove that they are stronger than Dong Ke."

Teacher Yang Lin quickly explained: "However, the mathematical thinking, meticulous logic, and solid mathematical foundation they show already have the potential to achieve good results in the Olympiad competition."

"very good!"

Principal Luo stood up with a smile on his face and patted Yang Lin on the shoulder, "Old Yang, Lu Li and Liu Qin will leave it to you. We must cultivate them and we must get good results in this year's competition!"

"no problem!"

Teacher Yang Lin answered confidently: "There are four months left. As long as the training continues as planned, it will be no problem for Lu Li and Liu Qin to enter the provincial competition."

"Then I'll be relieved!"

Principal Luo nodded with a smile. Three contestants entered the provincial competition, which was already a good result.

As for entering the top 300 in the country or even entering the national team, this kind of luxury... Principal Luo never dreamed of it.

...

Time passes day by day.

Since "solving three questions", Lu Li and Liu Qin's status in the Mathematical Olympiad team has been established.

Both teachers and classmates have recognized Lu Li and Liu Qin, and have ranked them with Dong Ke as the "three big bosses".

Although he was recognized by the teachers and classmates, Lu Li did not relax and was still writing books and questions according to the plan, gradually improving his math level.

Now, Lu Li is still studying high school mathematics.

Lu Li did not immediately turn to pure Olympiad mathematics, but continued to consolidate the foundation of high school mathematics.

Do questions, do all kinds of math problems.

The head teacher Lao Xu happily helped Lu Li with the "college entrance examination math test papers in various provinces across the country" over the years.

Teacher Yang Lin was not willing to fall behind. In the Mathematical Olympiad training team, he sent everyone a bunch of "National High School Mathematics League Test Questions" over the years.

In addition to the famous "Five Year College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulation" and "College Entrance Examination Mathematics Question Bank".

Faced with the teachers' love, what else can Lu Li do? One word "brush"!

Liu Qin's treatment is the same as Lu Li!

So... the two of them did the questions in a daze and the sun and the moon were dull.

I practice questions in morning self-study, class questions, and continued to practice questions in the afternoon in the mathematics training camp. I was still practicing questions after school.

The teacher turned a blind eye to Lu Li and Liu Qin's work on the questions, and had no objection.

For students who can get full marks, as long as you don’t make trouble in class, you can do whatever you want, not to mention that you are still trying to do math problems.

The only one who made some comments was the Chinese teacher.

The Chinese teacher thinks that with Lu Li's literary talent, what kind of Olympiad mathematics can be learned? Where can cold numbers compare to beautiful words? Only when the emotions contained in the words can the soul be sublimated.

The head teacher Lao Xu said, "Go and tell the principal", and the Chinese teacher retreated directly.

On the contrary, Lu Li’s deskmate, Yuwen Shu, had some idea of ​​something wrong, and started his creative career in his notebook with the title “My deskmate may be possessed by monsters”.

Seeing this, Lu Li could only sigh.

After all, Yuwen has embarked on the original trajectory of life and embarked on that old path.

From then on, I lived a hard life of "committing to writing, never stopping throughout the year", working hard to update my words, and being said to be "short and powerless", and even dared to break up, I was "sent to the blade" by someone.

The poem says: I worked hard and wrote a piece, and no one asked about it in March. The wind and rain were cold at night, and I drank the northwest wind again today.

Get back to the point.

Over the past period of time, Lu Li and Liu Qin's crazy questions have been seen by the students in the class, and they also know that they are preparing for the Mathematical Olympiad competition in September.

For other students, they would be too lazy to pay attention to the words "Academic top is so terrifying". However, for students whose grades rank below Lu Li and Liu Qin, they felt that... the opportunity has come.

Preparing for the Olympiad Mathematics and practicing questions in darkness naturally has no energy to take care of other subjects. The monthly exams in May, or even the final exams, seem to... have a chance to get ahead?

So, these top students competed secretly, worked hard one by one, secretly accumulating strength, just waiting to show their strength in the exam and knock Lu Li and Liu Qin down!

Time passes by our respective hard work.

It is the end of May in a blink of an eye and the monthly exam is coming.

Facing the monthly exam, Lu Li didn't care at all. He had finished brushing out the textbooks of various subjects before, and his learning progress had reached the level of "proficiency".

It was only two days after the exam that Lu Li raised his head from the sea of ​​math questions and hurried into the examination room.

After the two-day exam, Lu Li didn't care about the test results at all. He plunged into the math problems and continued to swipe.

With the expectations of some top students, the monthly exam results were announced as scheduled.

First place: Lu Li!

Second place: Liu Qin!

More importantly... Lu Li took another full mark in the general subject.

This score made a group of top students who were secretly competing in despair and also made the whole class numb.

Lu Li was a little surprised!

Is it full marks in the general subject? It’s fine for other subjects, but I didn’t have much effort in writing Chinese language, so why did I get a full mark?

Could it be that the Chinese teacher deliberately gave me a full mark in order to stimulate my literary enthusiasm and to get rid of these cold numbers?

Can you get full marks in this way?

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and was too lazy to pay attention to it. There are still many questions to do!
