Capital City was the capital of the country. They had to strive to be number one in everything they did and set an example.
Cao Tongtong and Zhang Yu's names were well-known in the mathematics world. After all, they were very popular in the media and had won many awards in various provinces and cities, so they had long been noticed by others. As for the other man … no one knew who he was!
"Capital City is indeed a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Could it be that they've prepared a secret weapon? This kind of person is the most dangerous because we don't know his background! "Someone could not help but say with a hint of caution.
"He looks very young. None of us have heard of his name. I can only say that he hides it well."
"Looks like we'll have to prepare early this time."
At that moment, a participating student looked at his phone and suddenly laughed. "I know who he is!"
"Who is it?"
"I have a friend who participated in the math competition with Cao Tongtong back then. They formed a group and Cao Tongtong is currently complaining in that group." The boy laughed. "You'd never expect that guy to be a freshman. Furthermore, he's from the language department!"
"What?!"
"That's impossible!"
"Is Capital City crazy? Why would they send such a contestant?"
Everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true!" The boy continued, "He was forcefully recommended by Xu Wanqing. He might be related to Xu Wanqing and is here to gild his name."
"Gild his name in this kind of competition? Has Capital City fallen to such an extent? "
"F * ck! They don't want to win anymore. That's ridiculous. "
"Is Xu Wanqing the mathematical genius girl? I heard that her attitude toward mathematics is unparalleled. How could she make such a principled mistake? "
"If that's the case, this person is nothing to worry about!"
A steady stream of gazes fell on Ye Lingchen with extremely complicated emotions. However, Ye Lingchen did not seem to feel it and sat leisurely in his seat.
"The competition is about to begin. Contestants, please get ready!" Finally, the emcee went on stage and announced.
Immediately, the chatter stopped. Everyone's face was solemn and apprehensive.
Professor Bai pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Let's wait for the two of you. Let's see how it goes."
He glanced at Ye Lingchen, who was still acting as if nothing had happened. That guy was definitely unreliable. After all, Capital City's reputation was at stake in this competition. If they could prevent Ye Lingchen from participating, they would try their best to prevent him from participating.
After all, it would be too unsightly if they suffered a crushing defeat after entering the field. They could not even understand the questions and could only sit there stupidly. They could only hope that Zhang Yu and Cao Tongtong would be able to get a good ranking.
"Also, you two must pay attention to these areas: West Sea, East Sea, South Sea, North Sea, Xiangjiang, and Jinling! They're the strongest opponents this time! "Professor An reminded.
Cao Tongtong and Zhang Yu nodded solemnly.
"Du!"
Accompanied by the sound of a flute, the computer screens on the nineteen tables lit up. The countdown to the match had begun!
Ten!
Nine!
…
0！
The countdown ended, and the computer screen began to jump crazily. It was the name of each region.
"As everyone can see, the competition has officially begun. Next, let's see which regions will start the competition," the host said. "Stop!"
The computer screen paused.
On the fifth table, it was Capital VS Qinchuan!
"Phew!"
The teachers and professors on Capital's side breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was fine if the opponent was Qinchuan. At least they would be more stable and would not encounter some freaks.
"I'll go first for this round." Zhang Yu stood up and walked to the corresponding seat at table number five. His opponent was a boy with glasses.
"Among those freaks, only Qiu Luo is up." Professor Bai looked at table number eight.
Qiu Luo was a girl with neat bangs. She was not dressed fashionably and even looked a little rustic. She had no makeup on her face.
The competition began!
The computer began to jump crazily. The questions on each table were different. There were a total of ten written questions, and whoever was fast and accurate would win!
These questions were at least at the level of competition difficulty, and the angles were extremely tricky. If an ordinary graduate student were to do it, it was estimated that it would take at least half a day to figure out the answer. However, these contestants quickly skimmed through the questions, and their minds were racing.
Not long after, many of them had already started drafting on the draft paper in front of them. They wrote very quickly, and if one were to look closely, they would be skipping as they wrote. A lot of the process had been omitted, and ordinary people would not be able to keep up with their train of thought.
Ye Lingchen noticed that Qiu Luo did not even move her pen. She only looked at the question, her eyes flashing, and started calculating mentally!
Moreover, she was the first to write down her answer!
Correct!
The computer automatically jumped to the next question. The opponent who had failed the first question moved on to the second question!
After eight minutes, Qiu Luo's ten questions were completed!
She had completely crushed her opponent!
That speed stunned everyone, including the host!
Some teams only managed to get to the third question after eight minutes. One could imagine how much pressure Qiu Luo's existence put on her opponents.
The people from all the provinces were shocked, looking at that plain and ordinary girl in horror.
"An interesting opponent." Liu Yuan from Nanhai Province looked at Qiu Luo with interest. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"This young lady's mental arithmetic is comparable to a computer. You have to pay more attention," a teacher reminded.
Zhou Ran from Donghai Province, who had been keeping his head down, also raised his head slightly. "Looks like we've been eliminated in the first round. Let me go next!"
"Is it that urgent? This … Alright! "
It was obvious that Qiu Luo's appearance had made many geniuses restless, and they were ready to fight in advance.
In the eleventh minute, Zhang Yu defeated his opponent, a full three minutes behind Qiu Luo!
"She's too strong!" Zhang Yu returned to the team and looked at Qiu Luo with fear, feeling pressured!
"She's stronger than we thought!" Professor Bai and Professor An looked at each other and sighed. At that point, they could only pray that they would not encounter such a monster.
In the second round, there were still 19 teams. The eliminated regions sent out their second contestant, which was also their second chance.
"Liu Yuan and Zhou Ran are also up." Professor Tang's eyes narrowed slightly. "It looks like they're confident in going against Qiu Luo."
Looking at the constantly shaking screen, everyone's heart was filled with anxiety.
Capital City VS Xiangjiang!
"It's Miao Quan!" Xu Wanqing frowned slightly. "Xiangjiang actually sent Miao Quan up directly?"
"Logically speaking, Miao Quan is the most capable person in Xiangjiang. Can't wait to go up? Other than Miao Quan, they left the other girl for last? "
"It's him! Let me go. "Zhang Yu smiled. After saying that, he walked up confidently …
