Volume 1 Chapter 57: The Way the Little Vampire Explains Problems Feels Very Familiar
Studying on a livestream sounds kind of crazy… and honestly, it really is a bit crazy.
Hmm…
Lin Lin glanced at the viewer count. Compared to when she was just chatting, there were clearly fewer people now. There were even fewer viewers than when she played games.
This won’t do. I need to make things more interesting.
The girl tried solving two multiple-choice questions first. The test generated by the system was not much different from normal exam papers, and most of the early questions were pretty easy.
She got them right, but…
Something still felt a little off.
“Uh… don’t tell me none of you can solve these?”
She glanced at the chat and asked.
【?】
【We just don’t want to give the streamer hints.】
【LOL, the streamer can’t see answers in chat and now can’t solve it.】
【I’ll send it, I’ll send it. Ari-chan, choose A, choose A!】
“Choose A my foot!”
The girl rolled her eyes and said, “This question is C, okay!”
【You guessed, right?】
【This question is too early for middle school students, just right for high school students, and totally over the level for me, a college student!】
【LOL, exactly the same.】
【Anyone here actually knows? Is the answer really C?】
“Pfft—”
Watching the chat argue nonstop, Lin Lin felt that rare joy of being “the smart one.” Now, she could almost answer just by looking at the question. As for the solution steps, they came out naturally when she wrote them.
Feeling very confident, she picked up the third multiple-choice question and started explaining it to the viewers.
“This question is a geometry problem. First… uh, first…”
Uh…
She suddenly started hesitating and stuttering.
As the saying goes, being able to solve a problem doesn’t mean you can explain it well. Lin Lin felt a bit troubled. How should she explain it in a simple and clear way?
【The streamer can’t explain it. Did she memorize the answer and forget?】
【Looks fake at first glance. Definitely scripted.】
【I knew it, there’s no way someone can answer just by looking!】
“Hey, I really can solve it!”
The girl got a bit anxious. In a panic, she recalled how Gao Liang taught her before, and then…
Lin Lin took a deep breath and, copying Gao Liang’s tone, said,
“Ahem! First of all, this is a geometry problem! What’s the first thing you do with geometry? You look at the diagram!”
As she spoke, she almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. Why did Gao Liang’s teaching tone sound just like those famous top-school teachers? She didn’t notice it back then, but now that she thought about it…
It was kind of funny.
“After looking at the diagram, look at the given conditions. See, here we have a right triangle, and then we do this and this…”
She started “working” on the triangle. Well, actually just drawing random helper lines with the mouse.
But surprisingly, the explanation was pretty clear. After finishing, she nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of water, and looked at the chat, waiting for praise.
【Damn, the streamer is so professional, I love it.】
【I didn’t understand it, but it feels amazing anyway.】
【You didn’t understand this? My eight-year-old cousin understood it. Want me to send you a photo?】
【Tell us more about the cousin.】
【FBI warning.】
【Holy crap, I got the photo! This is eight years old?! Wait, I posted it, this is—】
Eh? Eh? Eh?
Why did the topic suddenly turn into a little cousin girl?
The girl slapped the desk lightly and protested at once, “Hey, the important part is what I’m explaining! Hello, hello, hello— is anyone even listening to my problem explanation?”
The scene turned chaotic. The chat and the vampire girl were completely mixed together, arguing and joking. Sitting on the other side of the screen, Gao Liang gave an awkward smile.
Ah…
That’s strange.
Resting his chin on his hand, Gao Liang thought back to how the little vampire explained the problem just now.
Actually, this test paper was quite difficult. Gao Liang himself could solve that multiple-choice question, and the little vampire’s answer and solution steps were both correct.
But…
Why did her way of explaining the problem, her opening words, her thinking in the middle, and even the process of reaching the final answer, feel…
so similar to how he usually explained problems to other classmates?
Hmm…
Gao Liang frowned. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out why.
Could it be…
that top students all think in similar ways when solving problems?
Well… that’s not impossible. After all, math problems usually have fixed answers… right?
Gao Liang continued to quietly watch the livestream. He saw that the little vampire was still not convinced and wanted to see what kind of “cousin” had shocked everyone so much.
She clicked on the ID of the person talking the most, then opened that person’s profile and checked their posts.
【My cousin: image_DaoGe.jpg】
“……”
“This one is even more over the top. What the hell… who would believe this?! I don’t believe it! Cousin my ass!”
The little vampire shouted angrily. The chat, which had been joking before, all started spamming 【23333】. (Note: 2333 = lol = jajaja = wkwkwk = 55555)
Gao Liang’s mouth twitched slightly, and then…
【User “Even my eight-year-old cousin can do it” has been muted for 30 days by moderator “Watching V again makes you a dog”】
“Nice job!”
Lin Lin gave a thumbs-up to Dog Bro, coughed twice, and decided to bring the livestream back on track.
She continued solving problems and glanced down at the livestream time.
Hmm…
She started to feel nervous. The exam questions made by the system also had a time limit, just like a normal math exam, two and a half hours.
Some time had already been used. If she kept explaining every single question in detail…
It was really hard to say whether she could finish the whole paper.
The girl got a bit anxious. She bit the tip of her pen and explained to the viewers, “Um, explaining each question one by one takes too much time. I’ll solve them first, and after I finish, I’ll explain them carefully to everyone.”
【Okay okay, watching the streamer solve problems is fun too.】
【I’ve already taken out my scratch paper. Today I must conquer this test!】
【Doing a test together with the streamer suddenly makes me fired up. I feel like I’m back in high school, my youth is back.】
【And then secretly copying Ari-chan’s answers, just like copying the girl next to you in high school, right? Yeah, that really brings it back.】
【LOL, fast-forward to Ari-chan covering her answers and not letting us see.】
“Ahem, hey, if you want to look, then look.”
The girl showed her little fang and smiled as she started solving the problems.
Ah, this feeling, being watched by a crowd while freely writing on a math test, was just too good!
Lin Lin imagined the viewers watching her smoothly move through the paper, and the little vampire couldn’t help making a proud “hm hm hm~” sound.
And then…
Suddenly.
“Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—!”
The viewers saw the little vampire’s whole body shake, and she quickly turned her head, clearly looking toward something beside her.
In fact…
Lin Lin was looking at her bedroom door.
I’m livestreaming! Don’t come in—ahhh!
