Math competition champion Shen Qi has National Champion physics competition again.
The results shocked the Chinese Physics Association! (In fact, they had already been shocked once earlier when they were compiling the results.)
The Chinese Mathematical Society was shocked!
The prestigious high schools were shocked!
Yenching University was shocked! (Shocked but also delighted)
Shuimu was shocked! (Extremely unwilling)
The relevant departments were shocked!
The Xinwen Lianbo... The Xinwen Lianbo doesn't have any shocking moments; they don't pay attention to this.
The science and education media were shocked!
Shen Qi has made history, winning the National Champion in mathematics competitions last year and the National Champion in physics competitions this year.
Being National Champion means achieving the highest total score in both math competitions and physics competitions nationwide.
The gold medal among gold medals.
Super Gold Medal!
Double champion!
"A casual test with no particular outcome: Shen Qi makes history in academic competitions!" (Title)
"In the history of Chinese subject competitions, no high school student has ever won the highest national honors in two different subjects, but Shen Qi has done it! Shen Qi, a student from Nangang Second High School in our province, won this year's CPhO championship with a score of 357, ranking first in the overall individual score. And in last year's CMO and IMO, he..." (Main text)
Qin Wu, a reporter from Dayue. com, wrote an article with great excitement. He knew Shen Qi was amazing, but he didn't expect Shen Qi to be so amazing, he was simply superhuman!
"It's no exaggeration to say that among the many national subject competitions, the math and physics competitions rank first and second in terms of difficulty. Shen Qi won first place in both of the most difficult subject competitions. This is very 'Shen Qi,' very amazing!" Qin Wu was not the only reporter covering the CPhO National Final; a reporter from Sohu. com later published a news article.
"Shen Qi, the 'double champion' in math and physics competitions, has surpassed Xu Xiaoyu, the 'number one Academic God,' and China is once again ushering in a golden age of producing outstanding young talents!" A reporter from Sulang. com also joined in the discussion, comparing Shen Qi with Xu Xiaoyu and finding that Shen Qi seemed to be slightly better.
Who is Xu Xiaoyu?
He is a prodigy high school student, hailed as "China's No. 1 Academic God".
Xu Xiaoyu, who attended the High School Renmin University High School, was a few years older than Shen Qi. When he was in his second year of high school, he won the CMO gold medal, a perfect score gold medal, ranking first in the country.
In his senior year of high school Xu Xiaoyu won the CMO gold medal again, but this time he did not get a perfect score because he was distracted.
Why are you distracted?
Because not long after the CMO National Finals, Xu Xiaoyu went straight to participate in CPhO and won the silver medal in the CPhO National Final.
Xu Xiaoyu in both math and physics competitions, is a remarkable young genius. He faces a similar fate to Shen Qi, with Tsinghua University and Peking University vying to recruit him.
The initial selection process was exactly the same as Shen Qi's; Xu Xiaoyu chose Yanda University.
Xu Xiaoyu's English is so-so, with TOEFL of 110+ and an SAT score of 2300+.
Just before he was about to go to Yenching University, Xu Xiaoyu suddenly changed his mind and contacted Princeton University. In the end, he went to Princeton to study.
That's just how capricious Academic God geniuses are; there's nothing you can do about it.
Media outlets focusing on academic competitions have compared Shen Qi and Xu Xiaoyu.
Shen Qi: IMO perfect score gold medal (+1) (world's number one), CMO perfect score gold medal (national number one), CPhO gold medal (national number one)
Xu Xiaoyu: IPhO Gold Medal (World's No. 1), CMO Perfect Score Gold Medal (National No. 1), CMO Gold Medal, CPhO Silver Medal.
In terms of the number of gold medals and medals in total, Xu Xiaoyu has one more silver medal than Shen Qi.
In terms of prestige, Shen Qi's is slightly higher.
Regarding English, Shen Qi has never taken the TOEFL or SAT, so a data-driven comparison is not possible.
From the perspective of making history, Shen Qi wins.
Only Shen Qi achieved first place nationwide in both CMO and CPhO, making him the first person in China to do so.
"Undeniably, Shen Qi and Xu Xiaoyu, these two Academic God, are both remarkable. They are more than eighteen levels above Ming Youyu, that academic superstar internet celebrity from not long ago."
"Academic competitions are ultimately about ability, not looks or hype." --- A reporter from Sulang. com summarized, giving a minor critique to Ming Youyu, the academic star who became an internet sensation for her fair skin, beautiful face, and large breasts. This rich, beautiful, and busty academic star has indeed won many competition awards, but they are not of high quality, mostly second and third prizes, with very few first prizes and never a perfect score.
Shen Qi didn't have time to go online to read the news, and he was unaware that reporter Qin had tricked him again.
The article published by reporter Qin was titled "A Casual Test with No Matter the Outcome: Shen Qi Makes History in Academic Competitions."
Shen Qi hates irresponsible clickbait titles that lure readers in, and he doesn't like comparing himself to others—what's the point? It's pointless.
The total scores and rankings for the CPhO National Final have all been released.
The system sent a message of good news. "New achievement! Congratulations to the host for winning first place in the national physics competition! Reward: 10,000 academic points!"
"New achievement! Congratulations to the host for becoming the first high school student in the country to achieve 'double first place' in two different subject competitions, winning the highest honors in both. Reward: 80,000 Academic Excellence Points! Remaining Academic Excellence Points: 124,376. Please confirm."
Wow, that's exciting!
Shen Qi was very happy, even a little excited.
Winning first place in the national competition and receiving a reward of 10,000 academic points is quite standard and expected.
Shen Qi never expected that his achievement of being a "double champion in academic competitions" would actually reward him with 80,000 academic points in one go, making him feel like a nouveau riche.
Based on the system settings in the latest version 1.1.0, Shen Qi could deduce that historic achievements such as becoming a "double champion" would generate a large number of academic points.
Making history means achieving what others couldn't or had never accomplished.
It seems this trip to CPhO wasn't a waste; Shen Qi accumulated over 120,000 academic points, which he needs to keep.
The most important thing in life is to stay true to your original aspiration and keep your mission in mind. In a few months, Shen Qi will be reporting to the Mathematics Department at Yenching University. He hopes to get his math score to level 7 before September.
It takes 150,000 academic points to advance from Math Level 6.
Therefore, before September, Shen Qi still needs to achieve one more milestone—passing the college entrance examination.
"Yeah!"
Mu Rong shouted excitedly, her face flushed with joy. "First! Shen Qi, you've made history! That's right, this is so 'Shen Qi'!"
"What do you mean, 'Shen Qi'? Teacher Mu, have you forgotten how to speak properly?" Shen Qi, on the other hand, seemed calm. He had just been excited and was now in a cooling-off period.
Having suddenly gained 10,000+80,000 academic points and achieved his highest personal achievement, Shen Qi was now more calm and composed than ever before.
"Look, many news reports are about your glorious deeds." Mu Rong handed her phone to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi took the phone and glanced at it. "Damn it, Qin Laoji, you tricked me again! What the hell is this 'whatever, the outcome doesn't matter, Shen Qi makes history in academic competitions'... Did I say that?"
"Xu Xiaoyu, the top Academic God? He's quite something, I know him. He gave up his guaranteed admission to Peking University and ended up going to Princeton."
"There's really nothing to compare between Xu Xiaoyu and me. The media is just being nosy and making a fuss over nothing."
"Ming Youyu, the rich, beautiful, big-breasted, and academically gifted girl, who is this? Is having big breasts something to be proud of?" Shen Qi shook his head and said.
Snap, snap Mu Rong snapped her fingers repeatedly. She hadn't been this happy in a long time. "That's right, Shen Qi, you're not wrong. Looks matter. Big breasts are no big deal. Times are changing, and demands are evolving."
"Teacher Mu, these media outlets are so boring. What are they focusing on every day? Where is the conscience of mainstream media?" Shen Qi was speechless and handed the phone back to Mu Rong.
