"F * ck, this is so exciting …"
The entire competition was being broadcasted live, and they could clearly see the situation of their own school and the other schools.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two large screens in the waiting area. Their hearts followed the red and green dots on the screens as if they were riding a roller coaster.
"Number 19 is there! Number 19 is our Fifth High, right? "
"Number 20, I think it's Eston?"
"Where is our Seventh High?"
"Number 5."
…
Everyone quickly found the corresponding position of their school on the screen, and then matched the numbers of the other schools one by one.
"Ah, I got a question wrong!" Someone saw a red dot light up behind their school's number and immediately panicked. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the red dot to turn green again. They must have chosen the correct answer again.
"That's good, that's good."
"Our school is ahead of the others!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! Old Wu, go go go! "
…
Some people were happy, while others were sad.
"It's over, it's over. Why did Zhou Congyue and the others slow down?"
"Why isn't our school moving?"
The dot didn't move, which meant that it was very likely that the person who was answering the question was stuck on a question and didn't move forward.
The people in the waiting area were anxious. "Don't stop, just randomly guess."
…
At this moment, the atmosphere in the waiting area was even more tense than the competition.
"Look, that group is so fast!" Someone suddenly pointed at a line on the screen and howled.
Thus, everyone's eyes followed the direction that person pointed at.
"F * ck, what's going on! That's too fast! "
At this moment, the row of numbers on the screen had already lit up with a rather long green line, and there were still more green dots lighting up behind it. In the blink of an eye, another green dot had appeared. This speed was simply faster than the subway station announcement.
"Number 17, which school is 17?"
“17？ I think it's A University Affiliated High. "
"F * ck, that's awesome! Did they get on a high-speed train at this speed? "
"They obviously got on a rocket!"
Everyone's attention shifted from their own school's row to A University Affiliated High's row.
"What's going on? Why is the dot so bright?" One of them lit up from the front to the back, while the other lit up from the right to the left.
"One of them is doing it head-on, while the other is doing it backwards from the last question?"
"That should be it."
"Doing it backwards, I've learned something new …" A boy from No.5 Middle School sighed. Although he didn't know if anyone had done it in the past, he had never thought that it would be possible.
"Sheng Xiuyan from the High School Affiliated to A University is participating in the last round. I know that. Who's the other one?" someone asked.
The person next to him frowned and tried to recall carefully. In the end, he shook his head. "I don't know. I don't know him."
"But both of them are so fast!"
On the screen, both No.1 and No.2 from A University's Affiliated High School answered the questions at an extremely fast speed.
"Even the gluttonous snake wouldn't dare to be so fast," someone muttered.
"Speaking of which, I've heard of Sheng Xiuyan before. Since when did A University's Affiliated High School have such an awesome prodigy like No.2?"
"I think it's a girl. There are only two girls from A University's Affiliated High School this time." Looking at the people in the waiting area, it was easy to guess who was participating.
"Oh, I know. That girl is super pretty."
… …
"Eh, why is there a dot missing?" Someone pointed at the screen and said. Everyone's attention shifted from the gossip to the dot on the screen.
"Could it be that they missed it?"
"Maybe they just skipped it," someone said after thinking for a while.
— — Skipping was actually a good idea.
To put it bluntly, this competition was just a question competition. Rather than wasting time on questions that they didn't know how to answer, it was better to just skip to the next question.
"I got it," someone said as realization dawned on him.
On the other hand, No.16 was already lagging behind No.17 by a lot and had been stuck on a question for a few minutes.
"Which school is No.16 from?"
"I think it's Li Ming."
"Li Ming. I heard that before this competition, Li Ming seemed to have met someone from A University's Affiliated High School and even made a bet to see who would get the highest score."
"Then Li Ming should be done for this time."
… …
“woc！ Look, No.1 from A University's Affiliated High School is even faster than before! "
Unknowingly, everyone had already started counting down the time and watching the speed of the two from A University's Affiliated High School.
Another question, another question …
— —
At the same time, in the surveillance office backstage, Gu Shao was also watching the competition.
However, while others were watching the speed of the questions, Gu Shao was watching Gu Xi's live performance on the surveillance screen.
At this moment, Director Li walked over and handed a cup of tea to Gu Shao.
"Professor Gu, have some tea." Director Li also looked at A University's Affiliated High School on the screen.
Just now, while Gu Shao was not paying attention, she had asked around in her contact list and WeChat Moments. Finally, she found out about Professor Gu's daughter from an old friend in the education circle.
She had thought that Gu Shao would still be single. She did not expect him to have such a big daughter.
"Professor Gu, your daughter is very good." Director Li stared at Gu Xi's performance on the screen and praised her.
It was not entirely a compliment.
Because Gu Xi's answering speed and accuracy were indeed quite amazing.
Sure enough, the big boss's daughter was extraordinary.
Director Li sighed in her heart.
"Not bad." Gu Shao replied calmly without much expression on his face. It was not obvious that he was praising Gu Xi again.
"Professor Gu, you're too modest." Director Li smiled and could not help but ask, "Professor Gu, where did your daughter enroll?"
She wondered if she should send her own daughter to that training institute to improve her skills.
"She didn't enroll in any classes," Gu Shao said. He paused and said sincerely, "She didn't need to enroll in any classes. She just followed the school curriculum. That's enough."
Director Li was taken aback. Really? She didn't need to enroll in any classes?
She did not believe it.
"That's because your daughter is smart," Director Li said.
Gu Shao did not refute this.
"Not bad," Gu Shao said. He still did not mean to be modest or praise her.
However, Gu Shao paused and said, "She followed me."
When he said this, the corners of Gu Shao's mouth seemed to curl up into a smile.
Director Li was speechless.
It was as if she had heard a 40-pound person say, "I can't help it. I'm born to not be fat."
He was showing off too much.
Suddenly, Gu Shao said to the technical staff in the office, "Cut to the surveillance footage."
"Okay." Upon hearing Gu Shao's order, the two technical staff quickly cut the surveillance footage to the waiting area and the rest area.
— —
At this moment, in the waiting area. Everyone realized that the two screens, which originally showed the answers of each school, had been compressed and merged into one screen.
The content of the screen on the right suddenly changed to the surveillance footage.
"This is the surveillance footage of the scene!" Someone exclaimed.
At this moment, a total of 30 surveillance footage appeared on the huge screen. They were the full images of the competition venue in the four corners, as well as the surveillance footage of the seats of each of the 26 schools.
The surveillance footage was very clear. Although the camera was positioned at the back of the seats and the faces of the people who answered the questions could not be seen, the situation of each person's answers could be clearly seen.
"Look, the second from the bottom in the third row. That's from A University Affiliated High School!" Many people looked over.
"Oh my god! They're really fast! "
At this moment, on the surveillance footage, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan were sitting on opposite sides of the screen and answering the questions without interfering with each other. Their answering speed was really fast, so fast that it could be seen with the naked eye!
"At first, I was wondering if there was a malfunction in the equipment, or if they used some kind of physics cheat code …" Someone muttered to himself.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so fast?
In the surveillance footage, Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Xi's answering process was as smooth as a chocolate brand's advertisement. The two of them did not pause at all. For many questions, the two of them only wrote two or three formulas on a piece of draft paper or did not even calculate the formula to the end before coming up with the answer.
What was even more exaggerated was that the two of them did not even calculate the formula for some questions. It seemed like they just glanced at it and then chose the answer.
As the two of them chose the answer, a green dot lit up on the screen on the left side of the waiting area almost simultaneously.
— —
Compared to Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan's smoothness, the situation at Liming High School next door was not as good.
In the surveillance footage, Gao Zifan was holding a question with a conflicted expression on his face.
At this moment, the draft paper in front of him was filled with messy calculations, but Gao Zifan still had not figured out the answer to this question.
Perhaps because he was too nervous, Gao Zifan's hand, which was holding the pen, was trembling slightly.
Another page of paper was not figured out. Gao Zifan irritably crossed out the formula on the draft paper, then flipped to another page and continued to calculate. The things he wrote on the paper became more and more messy.
Seeing Gao Zifan's state, the people from Liming High School all revealed anxious expressions.
"What is Gao Zifan doing? If he can't figure it out, then he should just randomly guess a question or skip to the next one! How long is he going to take? "
"That's right, he might not be wasting time like this!"
"Also, I feel that Yu Fangfang has been … influenced by him."
"This won't do, hurry up and figure out the next question!"
A few people said anxiously.
If they were the ones doing the questions at this moment, they would not dare to say that they would definitely be so clear-headed. Perhaps they would also be stuck on a question.
It could only be said that the onlookers saw more clearly.
Lin Anxin, who was sitting among the people from Liming High School, was also looking at the screen at this moment. Her face was ashen and filled with disbelief.
— — How is this possible? How can Gu Xi be so fast?! Even if Gu Xi's results were okay, it was impossible for him to be better than Gao Zifan!
However, on the surveillance screen in front of them, Gu Xi's and Gao Zifan's situations formed a stark contrast.
Previously, when it was just answering the questions, Lin Anxin could still insist that Gu Xi had done something behind the scenes. But now, everything could be seen clearly on the surveillance screen. It was useless to say anything.
Lin Anxin suddenly became afraid.
Everyone's attention was still on the competition now, but once the competition was over, everyone would know that she was lying. No, she could not publicly apologize to Gu Xi.
With this thought in mind, Lin Anxin gritted her teeth and ran out of the waiting area.
The two girls next to her frowned deeply.
"Where is Lin Anxin going?"
"Where else can she go? Previously, she deliberately provoked Lin and Gu Xi and was slapped in the face. If she doesn't run now, is she waiting to be slapped in the face?"
"Why do I feel that she is deliberately targeting Gu Xi?" one of the girls said in a low voice.
"Now that I think about it, I also feel that there is something fishy about the previous incident." The girl next to her nodded.
Previously, before the school closed the forum, they had announced that the person who had spread the rumors about Gu Xi was Lin Anxin.
In the end, in less than a day, Lin Anxin pitifully jumped out to apologize to everyone. She even cried and explained that she did not say that Gu Xi had cheated. She just happened to see Gu Xi come out of the printing room one day with a stack of things in her hands. In fact, it was just an after-school homework test that Gu Xi had helped the teacher pick.
Lin Anxin said that she was not sure herself. She just casually said to her best friend that she had seen Lin Xi. In the end, someone spread it on the forum and it became what it was later.
This explanation was not convincing at first, but not long after, Lin Anxin's best friend, Li Weier, jumped out and admitted that she was the one who had spread the rumors. Furthermore, it was found that the first person who had spread the rumors was indeed Li Weier's account. Everyone believed her.
This matter was gradually forgotten as Li Weier transferred schools.
"The Lin family is quite powerful. It seems that Li Weier's family relies on the Lin family. Maybe Lin Anxin secretly used her best friend's account to spread the rumors. Later, she pressured the Li family and made Li Weier take the blame."
"If that's the case, then Lin Anxin is too disgusting."
"She pretends to be pure and innocent in school."
"I guess she can come here this time because of the Lin family." Even if the school allowed two first-year students to intern and not participate in the competition this time, the other spot for the intern should be given to the second-place first-year student. Lin Anxin would not have a chance at all.
"She just wants to be close to Gao Zifan."
"How disgusting."
"Speaking of which, someone said that Lin Anxin and Lin Xi are relatives. Maybe it's true."
"It's hard to say. However, when we go back this time, Lin Anxin won't be able to get away with all the things that happened before and the 'Sea King' incident."
"Serves her right."
…
"Let's not talk about this for now. I feel like we're in trouble this time."
The two of them turned their attention back to the competition.
Gao Zifan finally got the answer for the previous question. Unfortunately, it was wrong. After that question, Gao Zifan was obviously panicking. Although his speed was faster, his error rate was extremely high. A large patch of red had already appeared on one of the lines.
Looking at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan next door, they were still on par with each other. At this time, two long green lines had already appeared on their answers.
…
"Wow, those two from A University's Affiliated High School are done!" the crowd exclaimed.
At this time, the two lines had already been connected. Moreover, there were a few questions that had already been repeated.
In the competition venue.
Looking at the time, there were still 10 minutes left. Gu Xi stopped.
At around the same time, Sheng Xiuyan also stopped.
The two of them looked at each other.
Gu Xi: "I'm at 303."
Sheng Xiuyan: "299."
— —
The crowd, who was staring at the surveillance screen, saw that Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan had exchanged their draft papers.
"Why are they exchanging draft papers?" someone asked in confusion.
On the draft papers, not only were there solutions for some questions, but Gu Xi had also recorded the skipped questions on the draft papers.
Therefore, she was exchanging draft papers with Sheng Xiuyan now so that she could make up for the questions that the other party had missed.
Thus, the crowd in the waiting area watched as Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan took each other's draft papers and answered a few questions on the answering machine.
The green dot that lit up on the screen happened to be the spot that the other person had left empty.
"They've made up for it!"
"Damn, so they're helping each other answer questions that the other party doesn't know!"
"Oh my god, this is awesome. They actually have such a strategy."
Everyone had their own strengths. Sometimes, someone else would know what you didn't know.
"This is awesome …"
The actions of the two prodigies of A University's Affiliated High School left everyone dumbstruck.
Even the teachers who were also sitting in the waiting area were surprised.
"Mr. Guo, your Affiliated High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China's strategy this time is pretty good. Who came up with it?" Beside him, a teacher looked at the teacher in charge of the Affiliated to Renmin University of China and asked with emotion.
Another teacher came over and echoed, "That's right. The two students have such chemistry. They must have trained a lot before the competition, right?"
After being repeatedly questioned by the surrounding teachers, Mr. Guo smiled guiltily. This tactic was really not thought of by their teacher. His surprise now was no less than that of the other teachers present, okay?
However, very quickly, Teacher Guo's face was once again filled with pride. He laughed and said, "I really didn't train much. The main thing is that the standards of the students in our affiliated high school are about the same."
[Almost the same, my foot!]
— So what if you have two prodigies?!
— — Hey, hey, they also want to have a few more prodigies!
All the teachers silently complained.
At this moment, the ones who were the most shocked were the few teachers in charge of Liming. Gu Xi was originally their student, but now she was actually a student of A University's Affiliated High School.
Looking at Liming's current situation, it was obvious that they were already in a mess.
— —
On the other side, in the competition venue.
Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan had more or less filled in the questions that the other had not answered. There was only one question left.
"233, I don't know how to answer this question either," Sheng Xiuyan said as he turned around.
Gu Xi looked at question 233 again and waved his hand. He looked at Sheng Xiuyan and said, "How about we just randomly guess one?"
Sheng Xiuyan: "Let's guess."
Gu Xi: "Then should I guess?"
"Up to you." Sheng Xiuyan looked away — uh, he did not dare to look.
— —
At this time, the conversation between the two fell into the eyes of the audience in the waiting area, and it was completely confusing.
"There's still one question left. Why did they stop?"
"What are they talking about?" Only the two of them could be seen in the video, but no sound could be heard.
"Are they discussing the last question? Could it be that both of them are not confident? "
"I … Why do I feel like Gu Xi is mouthing the words' make a wild guess'?"
"Are you serious? Are they really going to make a wild guess?"
"Damn, this is exciting."
…
Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan probably did not know that their previous question was the entire team. Thus, at this moment, when everyone in the waiting area saw that there was only one question left on the screen of A University's Affiliated High School, they were even more nervous than the two of them.
"It seems like they really have to make a wild guess."
"It's coming, it's coming. She's going to choose her answer." Everyone subconsciously held their breaths.
They stared unblinkingly at Gu Xi as she pressed the 'C' button.
Almost at the same time, the last empty spot on the screen on the left lit up with a green dot.
"Damn, that's right!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of loud screams in the waiting area. Even though they were separated by a wall, the lounge next door for parents and visitors seemed to be bustling with noise.
As everyone's voices were really too loud, the organizers were worried that it would affect the competition not far away, so they had no choice but to come over and stop the noise.
"The competition is not over yet. Everyone, please keep quiet. Don't affect the rest of the students, okay?"
After the organizer finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the results on the screen. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
— Not only were the students shocked, even the organizer, who was "experienced and knowledgeable," was shocked. As far as he knew, ever since the start of the league tournament, there had only been three instances where the entire team had finished answering all the questions in the last round. Moreover, the number of questions this time was slightly more than the previous ones.
This was not answering the questions, this was f * cking answering all the questions!
"Ahem." The organizer coughed a few times and said, "There have been cases where all the questions were answered correctly before, so don't be too surprised."
Thinking of what the leader had instructed him to do, the organizer said, "Also, in order to further promote the competition, we have opened a public account for the science league tournament. Everyone can search and follow it. You can also check the results of the league tournament. Also, you can check the results of the past years."
It was said that this public account was created overnight by the big shots.
The organizer's words were nothing to the people from other schools. They were not curious about the past. What they wanted to see the most now was when the full marks of A University Affiliated High School would be posted on the public account and recorded in the history books.
However, the people from A University Affiliated High School and Liming High School had a different meaning.
"If we can check the results of the past years, does that mean we can see everyone's score?" someone from A University Affiliated High School said.
"That should be the case."
"That's good. Let's see Liming's score from last year."
Previously, Gao Zifan said that he had been dragged down by Gu Xi. Gu Xi obviously meant that Gao Zifan did not do well in the exam, but Gao Zifan refused to admit it. Liming's group even seemed to believe Gao Zifan more.
However, after today's competition, everyone obviously felt that Gu Xi's words were more credible.
— —
On the other side, Yang Mengmeng had already quickly opened the public account and checked the results of the previous year. Everyone came over to look at the score table — sure enough, Gao Zifan had lied.
On the other side, the people from Liming also opened the score of last year's Liming and were dumbfounded in the next second.
They were not only surprised that Gao Zifan had lied and falsely accused Gu Xi, but that Gu Xi's score was actually so much higher than Gao Zifan's!
