I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 9 Did I go to a fake training class?

Shen Tiantian is only half a year older than Qin Ke, and is currently a sophomore in Chengkong Private High School, in the same class as Qin Ke.

However, when she took the entrance examination for Chengkong High School, she missed it by a few points, and she paid tens of thousands of yuan in sponsorship fees to successfully enter the school. Therefore, when the news of Qin Ke's admission to Yingyuan Private High School spread back to the town, Shen Tieshan took a lot of money. Qin Ke came to teach her a lesson, which made Shen Tiantian very upset.

What's more, Yingyuan and Chengkong are deadly rivals, and the students of the two schools also look down on each other, one thinks the other is a nouveau riche, and the other thinks the other is a self-confident old-timer.

Shen Tiantian originally found this cousin's sloppy appearance not pleasing to the eye, but now he spoke with a sense of tit-for-tat.

Qin Xiaoke poked his head out from Qin Ke's back, and muttered unconvinced: "My brother is really good at math! Hmph, what's a mere Olympiad!"

In her heart, her elder brother is number one in the world. It's okay to look down on her, but it's not okay to look down on her elder brother!
So even if the grandfather who is usually the most fearful is present, she can't help but yell at her cousin.

Qin Ke rubbed his little sister's hair and signaled her to stop talking, while he asked with a smile, "Oh, not yet, can you participate by signing up yourself?"

Shen Tiantian glanced at the unconvinced Qin Xiaoke, and said loudly:
"Of course not. You have to pass the school's selection to participate. Last year, Chengkong won the top three places in the municipal preliminary competition. This year's preliminary competition is very competitive. A few classmates and I participated in the Olympiad half a year in advance. The remedial classes are selected by the school."

Shen Tiantian pretended to be modest and mentioned "attended the half-year Olympiad tutoring class", but her real purpose was to prove how fierce the competition was and how much she stood out from the crowd.

Qin Ke was funny, and somehow thought of Ning Qingyun.

Although Ning Qingyun is a bit noble, she doesn't have the arrogance to show off, and makes people feel much more comfortable.

"Speaking of which, is there any prize money for this Olympiad?"

"Yes, No. 1 at the municipal level has a reward of 1 yuan, and the reward for the provincial semi-finals is even more. I heard that No. 1 has 5 yuan. When it comes to the national finals, No. 1 is 10 yuan. These are not counting the extra rewards given by the school."

"So many bonuses?" Qin Ke's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't expect the prize money from the Olympiad to be so good. This is the best way for the student party to get rich!
For more than a year, Qin Ke missed the scholarship of Yingyuan High School. In the past, there were few scholarships for schools in mountainous areas. He spent more than half of it already.It seems that in order to satisfy Qin Xiaoke's wish of wanting a fruit notebook, he has to rely on this Olympiad to realize it.

"Why, Qin Ke, are you interested? If you can pass the school's selection and successfully sign up, my cousin will lend you a few exercise books for Mathematical Olympiad. However, Mathematical Olympiad is not mathematics for exams. You can't even understand the questions without special training. ..."

Shen Tiantian seemed enthusiastic, but the irony in his tone was extremely obvious.

Qin Ke signaled his younger sister to fetch the schoolbag for him, and after taking it, he took out the "Olympiad Registration Form" that he had filled out not long ago, imitating Ning Qingyun's calm expression and tone and asked:
"Cousin, is this the registration form for the Mathematical Olympiad you mentioned just now? Our math teacher gave it to me. I haven't filled it out before. I don't know if I made a mistake. Can you help me see it?"

Shen Tiantian originally wanted to sneer a few more words, but Qin Ke slammed the words back into her stomach. She took it in disbelief, and it turned out to be the "Olympiad Registration Form".

This world attaches great importance to results, and this kind of competition is even more rigorous. Each registration form has an anti-counterfeiting mark and a unique number, and it is impossible to copy and forge.

Shen Tieshan, who had been silent by the side, glanced at him and snorted, "It's okay, it's the default recommendation form." He is an honorary consultant of the Organizing Committee of the Provincial Semi-finals of the High School Chemistry Olympiad, and he is very clear.

Shen Tiantian's face suddenly became a little hot.

Of course, she also knows what the "default recommendation form" is. Different from her own registration form that is filled out after passing the selection and sent to the school for review, Qin Ke's registration form can only be obtained by "default seed players"!It means that there is no need to participate in the selection!

The most typical sign is that Qin Ke's registration form has an additional "recommended" column at the bottom, and he has signed the math teacher's name and the school's official seal in advance!
Such default recommendation registration forms are specially issued by the Olympic Games Committee, and the number of each high school is extremely limited. For example, Chengkong High School only has about ten copies, so the math teachers will only send them to the most promising students participating in the competition.

The mathematician in Shen Tiantian's class has a copy in her hand, which made her envious and jealous for a long time, but she didn't expect that her cousin had a copy in his hand. Seeing his ignorant face, it seems that he still doesn't know about this "internal decision". The value and significance of "Recommendation Registration Form"!

My sloppy, lazy cousin is still so good after high school?

How can it be!

"It turns out that my cousin is so good." Shen Tiantian rolled his eyes, opened the Mathematical Olympiad exercises in his hand, pointed to one of the questions, and said, "Can you help me look at this question, I can't understand it."

Qin Ke glanced and saw that the title was:
"Is there a polyhedron with an odd number of faces and an odd number of edges on each face?"

"Cousin, this is a problem in graph theory. It is very simple to solve, and you can easily come to the conclusion of 'non-existence'."

Shen Tiantian: "???"

She looked at the question pointed at her hand, only to realize that she had accidentally turned the wrong page of the book just now. She had never read this question before, and she only had a vague impression of "Graph Theory", as if she had heard it in a training class. , but I can't remember at the moment.

"We assume that there is such a polyhedron, then use vertices to represent the faces of this polyhedron, and only when the two faces represented by Vi and Vj have common edges, connect an edge between the corresponding two vertices of graph G, according to the meaning of the question It can be seen that each d(V) is an odd number, so the sum of the degrees of odd vertices is also an odd number, which obviously violates the theorem, and thus it can be disproved that there is no such polyhedron.”

Shen Tiantian quietly took back the book and turned to the answer page, which was almost exactly what Qin Ke said.

Shen Tiantian couldn't help asking: "Wait a minute, what is Picture G?"

"Graph G is a graph in graph theory. It refers to a graph composed of several different vertices and edges connecting some of them. Cousin, don't you understand? Didn't the training class say that? Then how did you pass it? Selected by the school?"

"I...I..." Shen Tiantian was confused, did I attend a fake training class?

In fact, similar concepts were also mentioned in the training class, but she was too busy memorizing the "induction method", "combination of numbers and shapes", and "recursive method" to get dizzy. For the later more advanced "graph theory" , "structural method" and the like are completely confused.

Of course, the main reason is that Shen Tiantian's math talent is not high. The training class is a cramming-style teaching. There are so many knowledge points involved in the Olympiad. How can Shen Tiantian, who has only attended the half-year training class, master and memorize all of them?

What's more, "graph theory" is also a difficult point in Olympiad, and the teachers in ordinary training classes may not be able to fully understand it themselves, so how can they teach her in detail?
Seeing that the aggressive cousin was left speechless by the question just now, Qin Xiaoke secretly smiled, hugged his brother's arm, his eyes were bright, sure enough, the old brother is the most powerful!Even Qin Yanghui showed his white teeth and secretly gave Qin Ke a thumbs up.

A flash of surprise and admiration flashed in Shen Tieshan's eyes, but he still hummed habitually: "Olympiad is not easy, don't be proud, if you have the ability, come back and show me the top three in the city competition."

Qin Ke smiled and said, "The top three in the city competition? Grandpa, you underestimate me, at least the top three in the provincial competition."

"Don't talk big, if you really can win the top three in the provincial competition, the box of Moutai in my house will be moved to your house!"

"Okay, Grandpa, it's a deal."

Here, Qin Ke habitually "exchanged fire" with his grandfather, but Shen Tiantian didn't dare to provoke Qin Ke anymore. She was ashamed and angry, fidgeting, and after a while, she made up an excuse and ran away without even dinner. Did not stay to eat.

Qin Xiaoke also escaped smoothly, and was not blamed by his grandfather for his midterm exam results. For this reason, he specially ate two extra bowls of rice tonight to celebrate.

His father, Qin Yanghui, accompanied him carelessly, took the opportunity to drink a few bottles of beer secretly, and hooked up with Qin Ke, laughing and said: "It's better if Qin Ke is with me, I don't have to be criticized anymore , I can still see the old man being beaten back, so refreshing! Come on, Qin Ke, smoke a cigarette!"

"Old Qin, I'm still a high school student, can you be a little bit enlightened about being a father? Let me warn you, it's okay to treat me like this. If you lead my little sister into trouble, I'll see how I deal with you!"

"Qiu Yi, your son is threatening me again... woo woo woo..."

Shen Qiuyi looked at the lively scene at home, pursed her lips and chuckled, and suddenly asked Qin Ke: "Xiao Ke, have you started dating recently? Tell your mother quickly!"

Seeing the anticipation on his mother's face, Qin Ke said angrily, "Answer for the [-]th time, no! I'm concentrating on my studies and not on dating! Mom, don't watch those romance novels and TV shows all day long, they're all lies." Humans, how can love be so beautiful."

Mom is good at everything, but she likes to read all kinds of romance novels and fantasize.Other parents are guarding against puppy love like a scourge, but this mother wants him to have a girlfriend since kindergarten.

Qin Yanghui also encouraged: "Qin Ke, are you 17 years old this year? If you don't fall in love early, it will be too late. How can you grow up if you don't experience a puppy love that hurts all your body?"

Oh, and this dad who is afraid of chaos.

"Go to hell, old Qin, can you stop being so superficial? The news has said that now the new era is calling, youth needs struggle, and the prosperity of the country needs the hard work and sweat of our generation of young people to build it." Qin Keyi The righteousness of the face:

"I am holding back all my energy, fulfilling the mission of the times, living up to the expectations of the people, and studying hard to achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation, so that I can better contribute to the realization of the second centenary goal in the future. What a puppet!"

"Brother, didn't you say when you were young that your goal is to become a god of learning and conquer the stars and seas with knowledge? Why did you change recently?"

"Xiao Ke, don't tear me down! Also, Xiao Ke, you are not allowed to listen to the nonsense of your parents. You can't fall in love until you finish college!"

"Anyway, brother, Xiao Ke doesn't want to fall in love. I just want to rely on my brother for the rest of my life like this now, eat, drink, wear and use, don't have to go to work and don't worry about life, stay at home every day to eat, drink and play, what a comfortable life ah!"

Qin Ke: "..."

Looking at this unreliable family, Qin Ke felt that it was a miracle that he could grow up to be such an upright and kind-hearted, high-minded, strong-mannered, humble and courteous student who was loved by everyone and blossomed like a flower. .

……

For two days on weekends, Qin Ke read and studied at home while helping his younger sister with homework. In his spare time, he helped the family organize the shelves. After lunch on Sunday, he picked up his schoolbag and took the bus to the subway to return to Yingyuan Private High School.

　Thanks to "Guyue Langlanglanglang", "Xianzhuo", "Cao Er", and "Tongtian White Horse King" for their rewards!
