Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 416: 297, The Replacement

Perhaps in everyone’s life, it is rare to see someone so physically challenged yet so determined. Therefore, whether it’s other candidates or the proctors, when they see Qing Chen’s wheelchair and his frail appearance, they can’t help but give him a second look.

After Xu Zimo left, Zhou Xuanying also came in; it turned out he was in the same examination room as Qing Chen.

“So you’re in this examination room too,” Qing Chen said with a smile.

Previously, he deliberately distanced himself from these classmates because he worried that being too enthusiastic with them might lead to them falling victim to Huan Yu’s malicious acts.

So, without any scores to refer to, if Qing Chen tried to control his score too much, he might risk a slip-up.

...
Moreover, Los Angeles Foreign Language School had promised him that if he made it into the top 1% globally, earning a Distinction and presenting it to the school for display, they would give him an additional ten thousand dollars.

Honestly, Qing Chen was no longer short of money, but he was still willing to pick up cash.

Zhou Xuanying was sitting diagonally behind him, occasionally glancing up to see Qing Chen’s ‘prayer-like’ method of solving problems, thinking to himself that Qing Chen was surely out of the running this time; it looked as if he had just given up.

There were two proctors in the examination room, one of whom was a math teacher whose attention had been on Qing Chen for more than ten minutes.

He noticed that since the start of the exam, Qing Chen’s scratch paper had remained blank, yet he had filled in many answers.

The curious math teacher walked over to Qing Chen’s side and randomly picked a problem that seemed simple, and calculated it in his mind.

Calculating mentally was time-consuming, so it took him some effort.

Minutes later, he shook his head; Qing Chen had answered incorrectly.

However, just then, Qing Chen looked up at him in surprise. The teacher felt something was off, and upon recalculating mentally, oh, it was he who had made the mistake…

The proctor recalled Qing Chen’s look from just a moment ago and suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

With half an hour left before the end of the exam, Qing Chen had already begun to close his eyes and daydream.

Taking advantage of this last free time, he began to practice the anti-material sniper rifle again in the ‘Mysterious World.’

In half an hour, he extended his target distance from 1350 to 1360 meters.

Even though he had only advanced 10 meters, it was still a gain.

As the bell signaling the end of the exam rang out, Zhou Xuanying got up, packed his belongings, and left.

Qing Chen sat alone in the classroom until all the students had left. He asked a proctor to return his phone to him, then saw in He Xiaoxiao’s group chat, Zard’s message: “Wow, can you believe it? That Qing Chen from the daytime got shot in the abdomen but didn’t rest properly, and now he’s come to participate in a math contest in a wheelchair, pushed by a beautiful lady.”

Li Si: “Math contest? What math contest?”

Zard: “Are you dumb? I said yesterday that he was originally here in Xian City for a math contest. AMC10, you know?”

dom, causing the whole group to be somewhat annoyed by this chatterbox.

However, this chatterbox always talked about key information, which was entirely different from the previous one who only offered trivial tips.

Still, it seemed that he only provided crucial information selectively, talking a bit more only about topics related to the daytime group.
