Just after leaving the principal's office, Shen Qi received another piece of good news.
The system sent another congratulatory message: "New achievement! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the title of Provincial Model Student, rewarding you with 10,000 Academic Points! You have 34,376 Academic Points remaining. Please confirm."
"Ten thousand points, not bad." Shen Qi could accept this result; he had gained another title. "Provincial Model Student."
Winning the Provincial First Class in the Physics Competition only earns 3,000 academic points, while Provincial Model Student is just a matter of filling out a form, earning 10,000 academic points.
Of course, in a sense, Provincial Model Student have higher social achievements, which is a bonus point for the college entrance examination. Provincial First Class competition is not very useful; only national awards are effective and give bonus points in the college entrance examination.
A while later, Shen Qi took a set of photos at school, holding his "Three Good Student" certificate.
The junior high and High School Department have a wealth of talented faculty and staff.
The junior high school art teacher prepared the clothes and did the makeup for Shen Qi.
The photo taken by the physics teacher with a high- Shen Qi camera involves some basic optics knowledge.
The Computer Science teacher was in charge of post-processing, and he earned extra money outside by building websites and writing software for others, which he did for a fee.
The physical education teacher was in charge of maintaining order, and many students were watching Shen Qi.
Most of the teachers at No. 2 Middle School have a special skill; even if they don't teach, they won't starve if they leave the school, and might even do quite well.
"Come on, Shen Qi, turn to the side at a 45-degree angle, yes, hold it." The person in charge of taking Shen Qi's picture was Mu Rong, a photography expert whose camera often cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Mu Rong looked down on the Sony camera provided by the government; instead, she used her own high-end Pentax camera to take promotional photos of Shen Qi: "Okay, keep it in profile, Shen Qi, your profile is more handsome than your front."

Mu Rong skillfully took a series of photos of Shen Qi.
Shen Qi finally understood why Teacher Mu was short of money. She had very high taste in consumer goods, owning several high-end cameras, and only buying top-of-the-line models from CNP. Canon, Nikon, and Pentax were all incredibly appealing. Teacher Mu owned high-end products from these three CNP brands, switching between them depending on her mood.
Mu Rong rarely buys cosmetics or handbags. She carries the same handbag for months without ever changing it. She spends all her money on high-end electronic and technological products, which are even more expensive.
"Shen Qi, take off your school uniform and change into a suit for another set of photos." Mu Rong calmly directed, taking another set of photos of Shen Qi in a suit, with the location being the campus of No. 2 Middle School.
Shen Qi carelessly tossed his school uniform jacket onto the lawn, and just then, the accident occurred.
A petite girl moved with lightning speed. She rushed onto the lawn like a madwoman, snatched Shen Qi's school uniform jacket, and ran off towards the school gate.
"Holy crap, Hu Jiaqian, what are you doing!" Shen Qi stared blankly, stunned on the spot. He knew this girl; she was from the next class, a student in the third year of high school (3).
" With Divine Armor Possession, you're guaranteed to succeed in the college entrance exam! Shen Qi, thank you! I'll definitely repay you when I get into a prestigious university!" Hu Jiaqian shouted back, then turned and continued running.
"This..." Shen Qi was speechless. Hu Jiaqian, you're too superstitious! How can a student like you be Successor of Socialism?
"This..." Mu Rong, holding her camera, was also surprised. Was this high school senior going to wear Shen Qi's school uniform for the college entrance exam?
"This..." The students watching suddenly realized, and then a group of senior high school girls chased after Hu Jiaqian: "Hu Jiaqian, you bitch! You scheming bitch! Don't run, Shen Qi's Battle Robe is mine!"
"Holy crap, they reacted so fast..." The senior high school boys watching also wanted to chase after Hu Jiaqian, but their male pride wouldn't allow them to do so.
So the boys rushed to Shen Qi's side and frantically pulled off Shen Qi suit jacket.
"Boss Shen Qi, give me this suit, and I'll pay you! I'll give you whatever price you want!"
"Damn it! Stop it, you bastard!" Shen Qi was on the verge of a breakdown. He struggled and fought, looking utterly pathetic.
"Have pity on us, Boss Shen Qi!" The boys continued to tear off Shen Qi's suit like madmen.
"Damn it, these suits belong to the government! Don't steal them, students! Damaging state-owned assets is a crime punishable by imprisonment!" Shen Qi was on the verge of tears.
The situation was too chaotic, so the physical education teacher forcibly intervened to maintain peace and stability at No. 2 Middle School.
The Ministry of Education has only one regulation regarding the administration of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE):
"Except for essential exam supplies such as 2B pencil, black ink pens or ballpoint pens, rulers, compasses, set squares, and erasers without covers, no other items are allowed in the exam room."
There are no explicit regulations regarding the clothing of candidates in the college entrance examination. As long as you don't take the exam naked, you can wear whatever you like into the examination room. Of course, overly outlandish clothing is not encouraged.
Wearing school uniforms or suits into the examination room is allowed, so the school uniforms and suits that Shen Qi used for filming were snatched by the senior high school students.
The scene was so spectacular, even heroic, that Shen Qi left the playground escorted by a group of physical education teachers.
With the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) approaching, graduating high school seniors are under immense pressure, which has led to some Quirks behaviors.
Since he'd been robbed, Shen Qi decided not to chase after it. He understood how his fellow senior high school students felt.
After the "stealing the boss's robe" incident, Shen Qi never dared to go back to school during the day again.
Before going to the CPhO National Final, Shen Qi called out several close classmates from Class 2 of Senior Three and had a meal together at a restaurant near their neighborhood.
With less than two months until the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) in June, senior high school students only get half a day off per week.
Shen Qi was an exception; he would go back to school for half a day each week to secretly discuss academic issues with his teachers under the cover of night.
"Hey, Shen Qi, you're awesome! I haven't been back to school in ages. I went back the other day and saw your glorious image and great deeds all over the bulletin board. It's practically brainwashing the younger students. Speaking of which, there was a reporter lurking around in front of the bulletin board, and I yelled at him and chased him away." Another exception was Xu Rui, who was training with the Provincial U19 Track and Field Team recently and didn't come back to No. 2 Middle School much.
"So, Xu Rui, you've decided to go to Capital University of Science and Technology?" Shen Qi asked.
"Yes, I've come to terms with it. Tsinghua and Yanda are not places for ordinary people. Capital University of Science and Technology is a good choice. I accept this reality." In the recently concluded National Youth Athletics Selection Competition, Xu Rui won the Men's 100m Sprint Runner-up. His dream of National Champion was shattered once again. Shuimu University only wanted the champion, not the silver medalist, but Capital University of Science and Technology accepted the silver medalist.
"Capital University of Science and Technology is more than just good?" Gu Xiaodan, who was having dinner with us, said, "Xu Rui, that's enough, know when to quit while you're ahead. You and Shen Qi got into good universities in the capital through Sports Recommendation and Academic Competition Recommendation, but Chen Xiaoting and I are in trouble. We still have to take the college entrance exam, and if we do badly, we might end up in some lousy school!"
Chen Xiaoting nodded. "Yes, I think having a special skill is really useful."
"Xiaoting, don't you have a special talent too? You just don't want to use it." Shen Qi raised a glass of Sprite and said, "After finishing this Sprite, I'm going to participate in the CPhO national finals in a few days. Our high school life is coming to an end. The main purpose of inviting everyone out for a meal today is to chat and catch up on how everyone is doing. Come on, bottoms up! I wish us all a bright future!"
