Chapter 96 The Real Gap

On the 4th and 5th, Li Luo and his two companions spent two days completing several test papers.

I have to say that the memory palace is indeed powerful.

For a pure language subject like English, Li Luo was able to completely defeat it by dimensionality reduction after mastering the memory palace.

Apart from not writing the composition, only one point was deducted for the entire test paper.

As for the Chinese language course, since it also includes things like reading comprehension, and although there are problem-solving routines and techniques, it is not something that can be fully understood simply by relying on the memory palace.

After comparing the answers, I lost five or six points in Chinese, except for the composition.

Mathematics was even worse, with a total of eight points deducted.

This was because the first-year high school knowledge points had just begun, and Li Luo answered most of the questions by following the notices and examples stored in his memory palace.

With his serious study during this period, he had no problem solving the slightly more difficult questions.

That is, the multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and the last question of the essay always stump him.

This is not something that can be solved simply by relying on the memory palace. It tests the comprehensive application and integration of knowledge points.

Li Luo's score mainly fell here.

As for subjects like physics and chemistry, since they were just separated from the junior high school subject of science in the first year of high school, the things learned were very simple. At most, Li Luo lost one or two points because of carelessness.

Liberal arts such as history, geography, and politics are even easier for Li Luo to master.

If we say that Li Luo was a little clumsy in using the memory palace during the high school entrance examination.

Now, it can truly be said that there is no obstruction.

"Not bad, Li Luo." After calculating Li Luo's score, Xu Youyu showed an amazed expression, "Didn't you only get such a low score in the previous entrance exam? I didn't expect you to improve so quickly."

"What do you mean by such a low score? It's at least 316 points! The full score is only 360."

"But I scored 1038 points, and the full score for the nine subjects is 1050." Xu Youyu blinked and said, "How much was Xixi's score?"

"357." Ying Chanxi said casually, "Two points were deducted for the Chinese composition and one point was deducted for the reading comprehension."

"Damn it." Xu Youyu sighed, "Looking back, I deducted too much."

Horse riding...

Li Luo twitched his lips, thinking that these two guys were really not human.

Is that a score that a human can get?
Not to mention Ying Chanxi, he got full marks in both mathematics and English.

Xu Youyu took nine subjects in the entrance exam for his second year of high school, including Chinese, math, English, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history and geography, and he ended up scoring 1038 points?
Only 12 points were deducted in total.

If you spread it out to each subject, there is not even 2 points.

Originally, Li Luo was complacent about getting 944 points in this exam, but he was immediately suppressed.

Looking at Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu now, the scores of the test papers they took in the past two days are basically above 960 points.

Ying Chanxi’s score is 964 and Xu Youyu’s score is 962.

Excluding the 60 points for the Chinese composition and the 25 points for the English composition, the full score is only 965 points...

"But you're already amazing." Xu Youyu glanced at Li Luo's score again and praised, "Anyway, it's no problem for you to be in the top 100 in the whole school. You're probably already at the middle level of Class 2."

"It's better not to praise him too much." Ying Chanxi said on the side, "The papers he did these two days were all based on the content at the beginning of the first year of high school, so they must be the easiest."

"The content of high school becomes more and more difficult as you progress. Li Luo, don't be too proud. You need to keep a normal mind and don't slack off."

"At least you have to wait until you are in your second or third year of high school, when you have learned most of the high school content, and then look at your grades and rankings, and that will be a relatively stable situation."

How can I be proud with both of you here... Li Luo complained in his heart.

But he soon thought of a question, and asked curiously: "Your key class started learning in the summer vacation, what stage have you reached now?"

"I have finished teaching the first grade of high school, and after the new semester starts, I will start teaching the second grade of high school." Ying Chanxi said honestly, "But I learned a lot in junior high school, and I will probably be able to finish the third grade of high school this semester. After that, I will follow Teacher Sun to prepare for the math competition."

Li Luo: “…”

I originally thought that the gap between me and Ying Chanxi was only 944 points and 964 points.

But this 20-point difference is simply because the test paper is simpler.

This is Li Luo's upper limit, but only the lower limit for Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu.

For academic elites like them, the more difficult the test paper is, the more advantageous it is, as it can widen the score gap between them and others.

Fortunately, Li Luo didn’t think about how to crush them at the beginning, he just wanted to see the gap between himself and the top student in the grade.

At present, although the gap is still large, it is at least not that far away.

With the memory palace in hand, at least in terms of learning talent, it is completely possible to make up for it.

What's more, Li Luo had no intention of competing for the first place.

It was enough for him to be able to maintain his ranking among the top 100 in his grade at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

"Don't discourage him." After seeing Li Luo's expression and reaction, Xu Youyu chuckled, "Anyway, the test result is good this time. Keep up the good work, junior. Try to surpass Xixi and take the first place in future exams!" "Although your words sound a bit sarcastic, thank you for your encouragement." Li Luo chuckled twice with a forced smile.

After calculating the scores, Li Luo took out his test papers and found out the questions he had written incorrectly.

Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu each took one of them and began to tutor him on the wrong questions.

Although both are gifted girls who rank first in their grade, their study methods and problem-solving approaches are quite different.

Ying Chanxi pursues perfection and thinks about every step in great detail.

Xu Youyu's ideas were much more unconventional, and he always skipped several steps for no apparent reason.

This is very obvious in some math problems.

Li Luo's thinking couldn't keep up with the eccentric Xu Youyu, so he chose to listen more to Ying Chanxi.

However, when it comes to Chinese reading comprehension, Xu Youyu's thinking is smoother, while Ying Chanxi's way of thinking requires more effort.

So when reading Chinese reading comprehension, Li Luo mainly listened to what Xu Youyu thought.

By learning from each other's strengths and overcoming each other's weaknesses, we can achieve rapid progress.

When it was evening, after finishing their studies, Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu went out together to buy groceries.

Li Luo stayed at home, responsible for tidying up the desk, cleaning the house, and then preparing to cook.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Yan Zhusheng.

"Hey?"

"The theme song has been confirmed." Yan Zhusheng said on the other end of the phone, "It's your 'Annual Rings'. Aunt Luo Fei has given me the contract. When do you think I can get it?"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the efficiency to be so fast. "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "Do you want me to come find you?"

"Um..." Li Luo wanted to say that he would go find her, but he didn't expect Yan Zhusheng to be so proactive. "You can come to see me, Xixi and the senior are here, you can bring your homework and stay here for a day."

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, obviously satisfied with this arrangement. "Then I'll come over tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Li Luo was in a good mood.

It’s not because Yan Zhusheng is coming to play, but because the song "Annual Rings" can be sold.

According to what Yan Zhusheng said last time, the price of the theme song is at least around 50,000.

If the cooperation goes smoothly this time, Li Luo's small treasury will be much richer.

When Yan Zhusheng comes tomorrow, Li Luo plans to ask about the song "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class" again to see if her mother's company is interested.

This thing is like a hot potato in my hands.

This song is not yet useful in the plot of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity".

At that time, Li Luo was just singing in high spirits, so he sang the song casually in front of Ying Chanxi without thinking about what would happen next.

It would be embarrassing if this keeps piling up until Jay Chou writes the song.

Just as Li Luo was thinking about this, Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu came back from buying vegetables.

The three of them worked in the kitchen for more than an hour, making a few side dishes.

During the meal, Ying Chanxi said, "Xinyan said she wanted to play with me. I thought I had to help you study hard these few days, so I asked her to come to our house and play."

"Now?" Li Luo asked doubtfully.

"Of course not." Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at him. "I'll ask her to come over tomorrow morning and study with us for a day."

"Oh, I see." Li Luo nodded, and then said, "Yan Zhusheng will come over tomorrow to tell you."

"Ah?" Ying Chanxi was stunned for a moment, "What is she doing here?"

"Let's study together."

Li Luo can't say that he sold a song, right?
If Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu discovered the poem "Annual Rings" and traced it back to the fact that I wrote the book, I would be unbearable.

After perfunctorily dealing with Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu, Li Luo returned to his bedroom after dinner and began his writing career.

But halfway through coding, Li Luo suddenly remembered that Ying Chanxi, Xu Youyu, Yan Zhusheng and Qiao Xinyan would all be girls tomorrow, and he would be the only man.

It’s a bit uncomfortable to think about it.

So Li Luo stopped typing, took out his cell phone and looked through his address book.

Then he made a phone call and went out.

"Hello? What do you want from me? Playing ball?"

"Xiaojun, will you come to my place to play tomorrow?"
