Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 157 – Same Level of Proficiency as You

Chapter 157: Same Level of Proficiency as You

Half of the class had already signed up.

Lin Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, her participation wouldn’t be too conspicuous.

The Finance Department students weren’t the only ones who had been super-excited about this competition. A lot of other students from every department were quite excited as well.

Hence, across all the majors, everyone suddenly started getting interested in learning ancient literature.

Every person in the dormitory, including Lin Fuxi, were busy burying their heads in books.

They all felt that as long as they were participating, they should work hard to try to achieve good results.

Even if they were not capable of getting selected, they didn’t want to embarrass themselves by falling into the bottom ranks.

Lin Fuxi wanted to use this opportunity to pit herself against Tan Mo. She wanted to see who was better.

She had not thought that it was fair to compare their college entrance exam results since she believed that the difficulty of the questions differed.

However, here everyone was going to answer the same set of questions.

It would be a good chance to pit herself against Tan Mo.

Once she had outdone Tan Mo, everyone would realize that she was better than Tan Mo.

“Fuxi, did you sign up as well?” Jin Yuelin asked when she noticed Lin Fuxi reading.

“Yes.” Lin Fuxi nodded her head and replied, “I realized that everyone had signed up. So I decided to join in the fun.”

“Ha, ha, ha, looks like our entire dormitory signed up. That’s great. In any case, we’re not really anticipating excellent results, we’re only here to have fun.” Meng Yuxi was quite simple-minded.

She was in this purely to have fun.

“Indeed. I only want to broaden my horizons.” Lin Fuxi replied. “I’ll take this opportunity to read up more and learn more. Naturally, I don’t expect to do very well, but my only hope is that I don’t score too terribly and embarrass myself.

“However, if I really score badly and end up in the bottom ranks, you guys better not laugh at me.” Lin Fuxi chuckled awkwardly.

“Don’t worry! We definitely won’t laugh at you.” Meng Yuxi gave a dimwitted reply.

As she said this, Lin Fuxi’s smile became forced.

Jin Yuelin quickly shoved Meng Yuxi aside. She chuckled. “Fuxi, you don’t have to be so humble. No one else in our class is working as hard as you. As long as you set your mind to it, you will definitely do your best. Your score certainly won’t be bad. I have faith in you.”

Jin Yuelin couldn’t say that she would do really well as this would go against her conscience.

After all, the students who majored in Chinese would also be participating.

Every student from the Chinese Department had signed up.

Something that required such specialized knowledge should be left to the experts.

It was none of their business.

Who would have thought that Meng Yuxi could be so stubborn? She had actually replied, “That’s right. You work so hard, I’m sure you’ll do great! Take a look at Tan Mo, she always disappears right after class. She is the least hardworking student in our dormitory.”

Tan Mo: “……”

The conversation had been going fine up to this point. Why had she suddenly been implicated?

Even though she hadn’t told them, she had also been working hard.

Whatever… Since Meng Yuxi was the one who had spoken, she wouldn’t count it against her.

Tan Mo was aware of how blunt Meng Yuxi was.

“Tan Mo, why don’t you want to study?” Meng Yuxi suddenly asked Tan Mo.

She had gained acceptance into Beijing University. How could she fail to understand the importance of working hard?

Without hard work, one could be expelled from Beijing University.

Meng Yuxi was worried that Tan Mo was only here to have fun. After all, she was young and immature.

She planned to supervise her.

“I’ve already memorized it all.” Tan Mo was extremely confident. “Don’t worry, senior Yuxi, I’m not doing badly at my studies. There won’t be any problems.”

Meng Yuxi: “……”

Huh? You’re a Finance major. Why would you claim to be proficient in the Chinese syllabus?

Meng Yuxi slapped her hand onto her forehead. “Tan Mo…ah, don’t say this when you’re outside of this room. People will laugh at you.”

Jin Yuelin stroked Tan Mo’s head. “Out there, you must be more humble. Even if you really can do it, you must be humble.”

Tan Mo touched her own head.

Why was everyone so interested in stroking her head recently?

Lin Fuxi scoffed to herself. But she said, “Indeed, only the four of us are here today. We’re your dorm mates, and we won’t laugh at you.”

Tan Mo knew that Meng Yuxi and Jin Yuelin only harbored good intentions toward her.

However, Lin Fuxi did not.

“Then…” Tan Mo said to Lin Fuxi with seemingly great uncertainty, “…I’m at roughly the same level of proficiency as you now.”

Lin Fuxi: “……”

Who was at the same f*cking level as you…?

What’s more, why did you speak in such a dismissive tone of voice?

You’re asking me?

Judging from Tan Mo’s attitude, it was clear that she didn’t mean what she said.

Lin Fuxi couldn’t be bothered to carry on this conversation.

Every time she spoke to Tan Mo, she would end up losing her temper.

When Tan Mo realized that Lin Fuxi had fallen silent and was no longer talking to her, she started humming a tune.

In any case, she wasn’t going to study.

Whenever she was with Professor Guo’s team, working on the research process was equivalent to studying.

What’s more, she was learning a lot.

She had already memorized the entire “Warring States Literature”.

She would no longer have to refer to the dictionary when she returned in the afternoon.

She was only responsible for writing out all the unfamiliar words and phrases that her seniors couldn’t recognize.

It was effortless!

When Lin Fuxi heard Tan Mo humming away, she started to get quite distracted.

From the very beginning, she had never taken a liking to Tan Mo. Whenever she heard her voice, she would get annoyed.

Right now, Tan Mo was interrupting her study session. This was even more annoying.

Then she glanced at Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi.

Both of them were snacking on fruit while listening to Tan Mo’s humming. They didn’t appear to have any intentions of studying.

Lin Fuxi got angry. She grabbed her books and her bag and left the room. She planned to head to the library.

The moment she stepped out of the room, she saw that the corridor was empty. Lin Fuxi pressed her ear onto the room’s door and eavesdropped.

She heard Tan Mo’s soft voice. “Senior Fuxi really likes studying.”

“My dear,” Meng Yuxi sounded quite worried as she asked, “why don’t I ever see you studying?”

“Ah, it’s because I’ve already learned it all.” Tan Mo opened a packet of potato chips. She crunched on the chips as she spoke, “I’m smarter so I don’t have to work as hard as Senior Fuxi does.”

Lin Fuxi was so furious that she gnashed her teeth.

Tan Mo was implying that she was stupid.

“Don’t you have to read more resources related to the competition?” Even Jin Yuelin was starting to chide her.

“No need, I’ve already memorized it all,” Tan Mo replied.

“Then will your score be sufficient to gain a spot on the team?” Meng Yuxi asked.

Lin Fuxi sneered. She thought she could get selected?

How delusional!

“I think it won’t be a problem to rank first,” Tan Mo replied.

Lin Fuxi couldn’t bear to keep on listening.

F*ck, it won’t be a problem…?!

You’re so young but your skin is extremely thick. You really know how to bluff.

Go on then, bluff all you want.

Once the results are released, everyone will be able to tell how incapable you really are.

Lin Fuxi stomped off, her face completely dark.

She was even more determined to produce good results and completely surpass Tan Mo.

Back in the dormitory, Meng Yuxi and Jin Yuelin had been rendered speechless by Tan Mo’s confidence.

Were Tan Mo’s claims…genuine or fake?

Judging from the confident manner in which Tan Mo spoke, they seemed quite real.

But Tan Mo, a Finance student, taking first place…?

They had been searching the web for some sample questions from the Ancient Text Competition. They had discovered that even a Chinese major student would have difficulty attempting the questions.

However, Tan Mo didn’t seem like someone who would make empty claims.

Both of their heads started to hurt as they pondered all of this. They decided not to dwell on it anymore.

They attempted one question after another.

In any case, all they had to do was to make sure that their results weren’t too terrible.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Saturday. The day of the competition.
