Chapter 5: Towards the Path of Learning

"Your calculations are clearly wrong Link, it should be ...... like this"

A barrage of calculus-related terms came out of the mouth of an eight-year-old girl, and even though the explanation had been slowed down, Link still needed to pay full attention, and interrupt the other person from time to time to think carefully to understand the other person's progress in order to keep up with the other person's progress.

This feeling is not pleasant, but in this way, you can improve your knowledge reserve faster, after all, it is more efficient to have someone to explain than to hold a book and learn it yourself.

There are no online classes or anything like that these days, and if you want to hire a private tutor, Link's family can't afford it at all, so it's important to deliberately please the girl in front of you and improve your learning progress through her.

Link only needs to think that a lot of college knowledge has been acquired through Peggy in recent times, and through this kind of study, his intelligence has improved more obviously, and he feels that his 'forbearance and humiliation' at this moment is valuable.

Sometimes Link also thinks that maybe when his intelligence continues to improve and his IQ exceeds 140, he will no longer be hit by such an obvious reduction in IQ, well, maybe it needs to be higher.

“…… I feel like you're learning more and more slowly, so you may soon not be able to understand what I'm learning at all. At the end of the study, Peggy finally concluded.

“…… Peggy, I don't know if I said that you are so easy to befriend. ”

"Of course I remember you saying that, I don't have any other friends besides you who want to talk about these things with me, but I don't think you mind, after all, I'm smart and beautiful, and my mother says that a good girl like me is easily forgiven."

“…… Yes, good girl...... "What can Link do in the face of such a bear child, although the other party has a high IQ and emotional intelligence is stronger than ordinary children, but in the end she is still an eight-year-old girl, especially since she was a child, her high IQ has made her full of pride and conceit that geniuses often have, and it is naturally impossible to take care of Link's poor self-esteem."

If it was an ordinary teenager, he would definitely have turned his face, but fortunately, Link Neri is an adult who has been beaten by society, and he can see the pros and cons more clearly.

Asking him to pay for a private tutor who costs a lot of money is obviously an impossible task at this stage.

As an adult who pays more attention to practical interests, under the premise that the other party can bring benefits, Link will of course selectively ignore the other party's childish behavior to bring some unhappiness, and the right is to coax the child.

"So are you ready to go home? It's time for you to go back and rest! Link looked at his watch, ready to chase the man.

"It's still early, why don't we play Go, speaking of which, the board game you recommended originated in China is also very interesting, and I've been studying it for the past few days."

Peggy got up from her seat as she spoke, ran to the cabinet next to her, opened the drawer, and took out the Go board and pieces inside.

"It's really self-conscious, this bear child seems to regard this place as his home." Link couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But then, in order to coax this experience baby, he had to set up the chessboard with Peggy, and then guess with the other party to decide whether to choose black or white......

"Link!"

"Huh?"

"I heard you're going to high school?"

"That's right, if nothing else, I'll be going to Lola High School after this summer."

"My mom is also going to send me to middle school, but I believe that in a year's time, I can also enter high school, and then we will be able to take high school classes together."

"I don't think that's very likely."

"Why?"

"Quite simply, your mom will definitely think of sending you to a better private school."

“…… That's true, so I think the academic gap between us will increase at a greater rate, and I may need to consider correcting the parameters......"

"Peggy!"

"Huh?"

“…… It's your turn! ”

"Okay, let me see...... I won! Peggy suddenly announced the end of the game, and then concluded: "You lost one less eye today, it seems that the hard work is also effective!" ”

“…… I'm starting to rejoice that my family doesn't have the money, and after I started preparing funds for my sister's college, I can't afford to go to a private high school. ”

Patiently sending the annoying spirit away, Link continued to study until eleven o'clock, when he began to get ready for bed.

This is also his daily routine now, not that he doesn't want to study later, but considering his current age, if it affects his mental condition the next day.

For the next period of time, in addition to studying in depth step by step, Link just took time to prepare for the SSAT, and he didn't have much time, and he felt that in the blink of an eye, it was time to take the SSAT exam.

After the alarm clock went off at seven, he cleaned up his breakfast and ate oatmeal with milk, and Lisa drove him to the exam room.

The exam room is actually still at Link's school, after all, there are only a few schools in the town, and some private schools are a little farther away, and it usually takes two or three hours to drive.

After asking the security guard, Link found his exam room and sat down, because it was the last exam room, so the classroom was not full, there were only more than a dozen candidates in total, and there were no admission ticket numbers on the other tables.

One of the students sitting in front of him looked back, and Link recognized it as a student from his own school, but he hadn't paid attention to the other person, and he didn't even know the other person's name.

However, the other party's eyes lit up obviously after seeing Link, and he whispered: "Link, I am your classmate, I know your grades are great, can you give me the answer to the math test?" ”

Just when Link frowned slightly, he was heard to continue: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, how about three hundred dollars, as long as I do well in the exam, this money is yours." ”

The teacher had already walked into the classroom, and Link replied in a whisper, "Before you get the money, all you said was fart, and you have ten thousand reasons not to give me the money afterwards."

So keep it to fool other students, I won't help you, if you dare to turn back or harass me again, I will tell the invigilator in the corridor your suggestion, and let the cheating file stay with you for the rest of your life. ”

“…… Take it easy, man, I'm really going to give you money. ”

When the other party continued to speak, he saw the expression on Link's face, as if he had been seen through, and then found that Link began to look at the invigilator in the hallway, and when he had a ghost in his heart, he immediately turned back and stopped bothering.

This kind of cheating or substitute test and the like are not unusual, and some students with poor family conditions and good studies may earn a sum of money through substitute exams.

Not to mention what I've heard of in this life, in the previous life, when Link was watching American dramas, the protagonist in one of the "Shameless" had been found out by a professor who was invigilating for him many times because he helped someone take the exam.

Fortunately, the professor admired the other party's high IQ and gave him a chance to go to the University of Chicago.

However, in Link's view, this is entirely the result of the explosion of the other protagonist's fortune, and the real situation is that any student who does this is undoubtedly walking a tightrope and joking with his own future.

In a country like the United States, where integrity is very important, if a person is found to have a record of cheating, it is equivalent to a serious stain on integrity, and you may even be expelled from school.

No matter what kind of school it is, it will never admit a student who has cheated and has an unqualified character, and even if he is admitted to a university, the company will not ask for it, Link himself has seen such an example in his life, and of course it is impossible to take such a risk.

After confirming that Link was not foolish, the student sitting in front of him really did not continue to bother him, and then after the teacher briefly finished talking about the exam rules and disciplinary requirements, another teacher invigilator began to hand out the test papers.

Twenty-five minutes for composition, 30 minutes for math, 30 minutes for reading, 30 minutes for vocabulary, 35 minutes for math, for a total of four hours.

With the exception of the essay, there is a 10-minute break between reading and vocabulary, and a 5-minute break between composition and math, which means that after all the exams are completed in the morning, you can go home in the afternoon.

Prepared for this by an excessive amount of preparation, Link only took ten minutes to complete the composition, and only after confirming that there were no words or grammatical errors did he close his eyes and recuperate.

When the invigilator walked past Link, he was surprised by the speed of his answers, and he didn't look at what the content was, but the font he wrote made him feel comfortable, and he smiled and continued to check on the other students.

Wait until the next exam starts, he can continue to answer the questions, and then when it comes to Link's best math problem, he doesn't need to make a draft at all, all kinds of calculation steps are in his head, easily finish the answer sheet, and wait for the next exam to start again.

Not only the simple questions, but also the problems that were specifically designed to wrap around the students were easily solved by Link, and then the reading, which was even less difficult......

At the time of such an exam, Link felt a sense of superiority in IQ, and there was a little satisfaction in his heart, no matter what the bear child said, no matter how much dimensionality reduction was hit, for ordinary students, he could be regarded as a scholar.

And as time goes by, I believe that I will get closer to learning God.
