Do a Few Problems

[Not high-IQ horror, no canon couples so ship whoever you like, flawed characters, proceed with caution] On the eve of the college entrance exams, the exam system descended on the school. It randomly selected students to enter test stages, while the entire school watched on screens. Win and you live, lose and you die.

With everyone watching, the System presented the first question:

(x+1)³(x-1)⁴(2x-4)⁵ < 0. Solve this inequality.

Then it selected the first test-taker: ... a street punk?

The teacher broke down. “It’s over. She got seven points across all six subjects.”

Zhu Yao: “Huh?”

Zhu Yao may not take school seriously, but she burned down a haunted library with a single stick of Black Lanzhou cigarettes to break out of a dead end, turned the tables on a feudal dynasty by mowing down its forces with an AK-47, and blew up an apocalypse-era school with a bottle of Body-Boosting Energy. Her outrageous moves never stopped, and time after time, she and her teammates fought their way out of hopeless situations.

Her teammates:

Chu Niao: “Holy shit! What the hell is this?”

Shang Shao: “Idiot. If one Bayes’ theorem is enough to solve the problem, don’t use two.”

Cui Ling (with an ominous smile): “I told you to watch your language.”

Everyone said the System’s first random team selection was a disaster. It put together four idiots who did nothing but swear and cause chaos.

Zhu Yao only smiled and said nothing.

Her first teammate, Chu Niao, was a timid soul who, in a very short time, found the one book that fit the requirements among tens of thousands, relying on nothing but her memory.

Her second teammate, Shang Shao, could barely run 800 meters without panting for half an hour, yet built an AK-47 by hand during that very half hour.

Her third teammate, Cui Ling, was a brilliant strategist who openly faced off against a shrewd villainous boss without giving an inch.

Classmates: “So what do you do?”

Zhu Yao: “How about I just solve a few problems?”
