Results of the Competition

Shen Mu rubbed the spot where he was hit, and replied in a muffled voice, "Got it."1

Shen Guang peered at the crowd in the distance; Lu Ning's figure could no longer be seen.

He looked back at Shen Mu. The more he looked at him, the angrier he became.

"It's your fault, you brat! Otherwise, I could've dragged her to Beijing University and showed her around."

Shen Mu frowned. "Beijing University? What's your relationship with that girl?"

Shen Guang looked at him with an inexplicable gaze. "You'll know in the future."

After saying that, he walked off and got into the car.

Shen Mu turned towards the direction where Lu Ning had gone, and his frown deepened.

Lu Ning was near the competition venue when she received a call from the teacher, and she brought Lu Jingzhi over.

When they arrived, the teacher brought the two of them to the frontmost seats.

As soon as they sat down, the speech immediately began.

After the person-in-charge gave his speech, the award ceremony started.

This competition adhered closely to the principles of fairness and transparency; when an award was announced, the recipient's paper would be displayed on the large display onstage. Every answer, every score would be clearly shown, so there was no room at all for falsification.

"And the third contestant is Zhu Zhihao, with a score of 96 points! Please come on stage to receive your award."

Walking out from the side with a smile, a child, who seemed to be about ten years old, went to the center of the stage to receive the award and pose for a photo.

A large number of journalists were around the venue, taking photos and reporting on the event, and there also seemed to be interviews after that.

"Alright, Zhu Zhihao, please stand at the side and wait for a moment. Next up, is second place with 97 points—Li Heng! Please, come on stage."

Lu Ning looked at the boy who walked onto the stage; he appeared to be a junior high student and was wearing a school uniform. His face was sullen; he must be dissatisfied with his results.

He was more concerned than anyone else about which questions he had gotten wrong.

Holding the trophy in his hand, he carefully looked at the test papers displayed on the large screen. When he saw his mistakes, he sighed and stood to the side.

"Alright, and finally, next is first place!"

Lu Ning was a little nervous. She thought highly of Lu Jingzhi, but here, he was surrounded by geniuses.

She glanced at Lu Jingzhi; he was expressionless and did not seem anxious at all. He even turned towards Lu Ning to comfort her.

"Sister, don't be nervous. I'll win this."

The next moment, the emcee excitedly made an announcement.

"The contestant who got first place has a perfect score with full marks!"

Hearing this, the audience below could not remain calm.

It was not a very big competition, but it was not a small one either.

The questions were getting harder and harder every year, and ever since the competition started there had only been two contestants who managed to score full marks; but this year, there was actually someone who scored full marks!

In an instant, everyone began to look around in curiosity. They looked back and forth at the people beside them, having no idea who it could be.

When the teacher beside Lu Jingzhi heard that the winner had scored full marks, she no longer looked forward to the announcement.

She felt that it could not be Lu Jingzhi.

When she looked at the test papers on display just now, she saw that the questions on the flip side were practically questions which Lu Jingzhi never practiced on. She sighed and silently comforted herself.

She turned to look at Lu Jingzhi and bent down slightly to console him. "It's alright, Jingzhi. You managed to enter the finals the first time you participated, it's very impressive. We'll participate again next year, you'll definitely win an award then."

When she finished speaking, Lu Jingzhi glanced at her. Before he could say anything, the voice on stage reverberated throughout the entire venue.

"Let us congratulate the contestant in first place who also scored full marks—Lu Jingzhi! Please come on stage to receive your award!"
