The next day, after carefully writing down a whole book of Olympiad questions, Shen Yue was finally able to solve some of the questions relatively smoothly.
The key word was some.
Seeing Shen Yue's pitiful test paper, Qing Xiaoyu thought it was because Shen Yue's memory was still not enough and needed to remember more types of questions.
So she went to find Ye Yin and said she hoped to borrow his question book.
Ye Yin was very generous and immediately took it out. But after flipping through it, Qing Xiaoyu's face darkened. The questions Ye Yin gave her were all very simple, almost insultingly so.
"Ye Yin, don't tell me these are the kinds of questions you usually do?"
Ye Yin looked completely justified and said, "Why not? There are limited types of questions. As long as you grasp the essence, you can easily solve all the questions left."
Qing Xiaoyu understood. Ye Yin was using these questions to understand the knowledge points. And once he understood, he could ace all kinds of questions.
That was so Ye Yin.
Qing Xiaoyu took off her glasses, her gaze sharpening. Ye Yin, you're forcing my hand!
Then Qing Xiaoyu started to elaborate on Shen Yue's learning traits and the difficulties she had encountered recently.
Finally she concluded that for Shen Yue to win prizes, she needed to be fed more questions!
Since she couldn't directly understand some of the knowledge right now, she could use imitation to solve some questions.
As long as Shen Yue was given enough questions, she would definitely go from artificial stupidity to artificial intelligence!
As expected, as soon as he heard Shen Yue's name, Ye Yin straightened his attitude. He took his question book back from Qing Xiaoyu and said, "Although I haven't done too many Olympiad questions myself, I've participated in many competitions. I'm familiar with how they make their questions. First tell me which competition Shen Yue is preparing for."
Qing Xiaoyu took out her phone and started scrolling. "Here, this one."
Ye Yin leaned over to look. After reading the content, he affirmed, "It would be difficult to win prizes in this competition by just memorizing questions."
After all, rote learning was inherently unreasonable for all science subjects.
Qing Xiaoyu nodded. "Yes, but Shen Yue didn't just memorize questions, she memorized methods. In theory, for mathematics and such, as long as you memorize enough types of questions, you can improve your score if the goal is to solve questions rather than research. Otherwise why would students from regular classes practice questions all day?"
Ye Yin thought about it and felt she had a point.
"I'll go back today and come up with some question sets. Help me give them to Shen Yue."
Qing Xiaoyu shook her head. "Give them to her yourself."
Ye Yin stopped her. "Do me a favor. I still haven't surpassed her fourth brother, so I have to keep my promise."
Qing Xiaoyu looked puzzled. "What promise?"
Ye Yin pressed his lips together. "To not pursue her."
"Giving her some questions counts as pursuing her?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain myself if I give them to her personally."
For some reason, this triggered something in Qing Xiaoyu. She immediately jumped back. "Ye Yin! How slick of you! Help!"
Qing Xiaoyu ran off, leaving Ye Yin and Mi Qian to ponder for a day what "slick" meant to girls.
And so before formally participating in the competition, Shen Yue began a life of being ceaselessly fed new question types.
Sometimes she would even memorize questions until late into the night.
In the dead of night when it was time, Shen Yue would occasionally have her emo moments, pondering why people had to memorize questions.
The conclusion she arrived at was for money, so she could sleep on more comfortable beds in the future!
Thinking of this, Shen Yue felt at peace.
Might as well memorize.
After all it was just exercising her brain a little.
This kind of life continued for about a month. During this month, Shen Yue had memorized quite a few questions.
Perhaps Shen Yue's efforts moved the heavens. This past month, the number of fights between Second Brother and Fifth Brother had decreased.
Yes, after two years, relying on his existing research results, Shen Jize successfully passed his family's assessment and obtained shares, becoming a perfect house-husband, very happy.
Shen Wu, in order to observe Shen Jize's condition at any time, moved his lab home against his master's wishes, keeping watch over Shen Jize every day.
As for big star Shen Shuangyi, other than filming shows and commercials, he rejected all other activities. Whenever he had free time he would stay home and oppose Shen Wu.
In their twenties, they were even more troublesome than a 2 year old baby.
Shen Yichen also gradually got used to hearing the thunder-and-lightning-but-little-rain fights between Shen Wu and Shen Shuangyi whenever he returned home.
Later, he didn't even get involved anymore. He just waited for Shen Shuangyi and Shen Wu to fight until one side tired out first, then the fight was considered over.
"Shen Yue, how long did they fight for this time?"
"3 hours, 58 minutes and 4 seconds."
"What about last time?"
Since Shen Yue had been memorizing questions last time, she didn't hear it. She should ask Fourth Brother who had kept count. "Fourth Brother, how long was their fight last time?"
Shen Jize thought about it and said, "Last time it was 4 hours, 35 minutes and 45 seconds."
Shen Yichen nodded. "The two of you are weaker than last time. Go run ten laps outside to exercise and improve your fitness."
After Shen Yichen finished speaking, both their expressions changed, but they didn't show any displeasure toward Shen Yichen. After all, Big Brother was always right.
They could only glare at each other, then angrily go running.
Only after the two noisy things left did Shen Yichen hand Shen Yue a cup of warm milk. "Don't drink anything cold tonight since you have your competition tomorrow. Don't want you feeling uncomfortable."
Shen Yue nodded, then looked up and asked, "Big Brother, are you taking me there tomorrow?"
Shen Yichen ruffled Shen Yue's hair. "Not only am I taking you there tomorrow, but I'll wait for you to finish too."
"Okay." After speaking, Shen Yue felt something was off, so she added, "Thank you, Big Brother."
Shen Yichen chuckled lightly. "What are you thanking me for?"
Then he glanced up and saw Second Brother and Fifth Brother arguing again as soon as they reached the door. His expression froze.
"Shen Yue has a competition tomorrow. Are you two going to see her off or not?"
The two people glaring daggers at each other simultaneously looked over upon hearing this. Firmly they both responded, "Going!"
Then they distastefully glanced at each other again.
"If you're going then be quiet. If you can't finish running ten laps today then don't go tomorrow."
The two finally quieted down completely.
The next day, under the escort of her four awesome big brothers, Shen Yue arrived at the competition venue, the center of attention.
But right now Shen Yue didn't care about the eyes around her. She only prayed that today's questions would all be within the scope of what she memorized.
The game starts.
...
After the competition ended, the four of them found a place outside to eat before heading home again. By now the sky had already darkened.
Upon stepping through the door, Shen Wu's expression was the first to change. Frowning, he said, "There's a stench of blood."
Shen Yue was confused. Shen Wu dealt with flesh and blood every day yet found the smell of blood unpleasant?
Just as she was about to speak, the Big Brother next to her did.
"Third Brother, welcome back."
Shen Yue noticed that the usually steady Big Brother sounded choked up when he said this.
