She didn't say those words. She just stood there quietly, but her eyes said it all.
The girl was tall and slender. Looking from afar, she looked a little thin.
Unlike the contestants from Yilan Public School, Ying Zijin wore the blue and white uniform of Qing Zhi High School without any extra embellishments.
But she was like a towering mountain, insurmountable and inviolable.
She used this silent way to tell all the contestants, representatives, professors and teachers present that as long as she was there, they still had a chance to win.
They could lose, but their dignity couldn't be trampled on.
No one.
"Yes, this is our global number one, student Ying Zijin from Qing Zhi High School, one of the top three high schools in Hua!" The host spoke quickly and excitedly. "She's 18 years old this year, one year older than Irna."
"I believe that some of the audience who watched the team competition on the first day knew her name. Among the 50 teams in the team competition, her team was the only one that got full marks and also won the time prize."
"Now, she's on our individual competition stage as the global number one. Please give her a warm welcome."
The host's words were like a bomb that exploded in the audience.
Not only the audience, but also the netizens who were watching the live broadcast.
At this time, there was no need for backstage instructions.
Every camera and every camera was aimed at the girl.
At this moment, the name Ying Zijin and her face appeared on the screens of many people all over the world and were firmly engraved in their minds.
Ying Yuexuan was also watching the live broadcast of the ISC International Finals at the Ying family's old mansion. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Ying Zijin was actually the global number one?
What kind of joke was this?
Ying Yuexuan's hands trembled, her ears were buzzing, and all the blood in her body rushed to her head.
When she thought about how she had specially sent her admiration to the number one player on the Shark Live Broadcast platform, her nerves were about to break down.
Ying Zijin again!
It was ridiculous that she had always thought that Ying Zijin was insignificant compared to the global number one.
Ying Yuexuan bit her lip and stared at the girl on the screen.
At this moment, the sound of a key turning came from the door.
Ying Yuexuan's expression changed. She quickly turned off the TV and returned to the bedroom upstairs.
She clenched her fists, her eyes unreadable.
Zhong Manhua was indeed dissatisfied with her these days, although she didn't say why she was sent back to Country O, Zhong Manhua was indeed dissatisfied with her.
She would still avoid it if she could.
Or, he could think of another way.
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and took out her phone to contact Jing Hongzhen.
**
At the venue of the international finals.
The host spoke again, "The rules of our final battle are very special. There are a total of 30 questions. Whoever wins will get all the points of the other party."
"Therefore, we need to ask Irna, do you accept this special competition or not?"
"Swish —"
The audience's attention was on Irna again, and the cameras followed.
Irna clenched her teeth so hard that they almost bled.
She sneered, "I'll do it!"
They said that they were asking for her opinion, but in fact, they didn't even give her a chance to object.
This was a global live broadcast.
Excluding the live broadcast by the organizing committee, the number of people watching the live broadcast in each country was as high as 1.5 billion!
This number was already one-third of the Olympic Games.
After all, an academic competition couldn't be compared to a sports competition. Most people couldn't understand it and didn't feel the thrill of watching their team win.
Other than the teachers and students of major universities and middle schools, the rest of the audience were parents.
For most people, they would rather watch videos on TikTok than watch other people play physics and mathematics.
However, 1.5 billion people was indeed a lot.
Irna knew that if she dared to refuse, she would lose all her face.
"Okay, our Irna readily accepted the challenge," said the host. "Then, please take a break for a few minutes. We'll start the quiz soon."
"No need." Ying Zijin looked up. "There's not much time left. Let's start."
The host was stunned and quickly came back to his senses. "Then, Irna …"
"Let's do it." Irna sneered. "I don't need to rest either."
Since both of them said this, the host went with the flow. "In that case, let's invite the two contestants to look at the big screen."
Soon, the first question appeared on the big screen.
The audience and netizens also watched attentively.
The first question was one of the seven biggest mathematics problems in the world.
The seven biggest mathematics problems in the world had always been unsolved mysteries for the entire mathematics world.
Therefore, the International Mathematics Center offered a reward of one million USD for solving each of the seven biggest problems.
The Hodge conjecture was also proved by an American mathematician at the beginning of this year. However, it hadn't been made public yet.
This was the proof process of the mathematician's proof.
Even though there were only a few missing spaces, it was still very difficult.
Therefore, the person who came up with this question didn't think about who could solve it.
He gaily poured himself a cup of hot tea and watched.
Ying Zijin squinted slightly. When Irna took out a pen and paper from the table and started to calculate, she had already reported the answer.
"The overall number one is indeed very knowledgeable in the field of mathematics." The host was also shocked, but he reacted quickly. "Next is the second question. This question tests your memory."
Ying Zijin's voice was steady. This time, she answered in seconds, "8."
"It seems that Ying Zijin's memory is also very good. It's already very good for an average person to be able to memorize the tenth question." The host said as he showed the screen above him. "This is the third question."
The time of the match was much faster than anyone had imagined.
Every question, regardless of whether it was science, engineering, or culture.
There were even a few questions that had a lot of technical terms that many people had never heard of before.
However, Ying Zijin's answer time did not exceed ten seconds.
The question setter was sitting at the professor's table. He could clearly hear the sound of his heart breaking.
When Ying Zijin answered the 17th question first, Irna's face finally darkened.
She clenched her fists tightly. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
These questions were not difficult. She was sure that she could solve them within twenty seconds. However, Ying Zijin was faster than her.
How could a high school student be so fast?!
Actually, for the contestants participating in the ISC International Finals, the difficulty of the questions was secondary. The most important thing was time.
They could basically answer ninety-nine percent of the questions. They just lost to time.
The individual competition's questions were only one-tenth of the team competition's questions.
Irna used the time to suppress the scores of Hua Nation's contestants.
However, she really did not expect that she would be the one to be suppressed.
"Ying Zijin has obtained another point." The host raised his right hand. "Now our score is 17: 0. Student Irna, you have to work hard."
Irna pursed her lips tightly. She was no longer as arrogant as before.
She looked at her timer. Her face was slightly pale.
Zero points.
It was as if she was laughing at something.
However, it was not that she did not know how to answer. It was just that she did not beat Ying Zijin in terms of time.
The live broadcast bullet screen was full of ridicule.
At this moment, Ying Zijin raised her hand.
The host saw it and immediately asked, "Ying Zijin, what's the matter?"
Ying Zijin's expression did not change. "I need a half-time pause."
"Okay." The host did not ask for the reason. He said loudly, "Half-Time pause."
Irna took out a tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She was about to take a break when Ying Zijin picked up the microphone.
She turned the microphone to the highest volume. She turned her head slightly and looked at Irna who had just unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water.
Her voice was cold and slow.
"Trash."
