Chapter 161: Competition Groups, Two Outliers (Update 1)

After the "fart bomb" incident, Su Qing and Chen Sichang were punished and stopped their activities.

Perhaps because they had witnessed Jiang Fuyue's "insidiousness", the two of them became more cautious. Not only did they not dare to provoke her in the girls' dormitory, they also almost avoided her when they saw her on the street.

In this way, Jiang Fuyue became a real loner.

She couldn't get into the Beijing circle, had a bad relationship with her roommates, and always ate and attended classes alone.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems like they deserve it and are a bit pitiful.

But in Jiang Fuyue’s own opinion - it’s simply too cool!

There were no blind people to provoke her, and no messy things to distract her. After completing the daily training tasks, she still had time to deal with group documents, read the financial reports of previous years, and listen to Liu Jinzhong's report on the operation of the bar by Huben and Xiaoliu.

"...It's much better than I expected. Although not professional enough, it's smooth and tactful, and it didn't cause any major trouble."

Jiang Fuyue hummed softly, "Keep watching. How's Liu Sisi?"

"I asked her about her wishes, and last week I arranged for her to join Camp A, where she will first learn the skills and then the techniques."

Camp A, a training club under the group.

On the surface, it looks like an ordinary training institution, but in fact it is Yufeng’s training ground.

He was proficient in both civil and military skills.

From finance and accounting to Sanda and shooting, only those who stand out in the end are qualified to stand by Jiang Fuyue's side.

Whether Liu Sisi can make it through depends on herself.

After the routine report, Jiang Fuyue logged into the APP on time to watch Jiang Xiaodi's live broadcast.

The young boy was holding an electric rice cooker with a large table of dishes in front of him, including both meat and vegetables.

He doesn't like to talk, he just eats, and he eats very seriously, and the most important thing is that the food he eats is especially delicious.

It seems as if I can see the word "delicious" on his face through the screen.

The comment section is well managed by Wu Qian, and there are almost no bad comments. Even if there are, they are deleted quickly.

Jiang Fuyue put her cell phone aside, took out the test paper she had prepared in advance, and started the last task of the day.

Once that was done, she could go to sleep.

At half past nine, Jiang Xiaodi ended the live broadcast, and she finished the last question and put the sixteen test papers together.

I packed up and left the library. When I passed by the trash can, I stuffed the 30 test papers I had written yesterday and today into it.

Clap your hands and walk away quickly.

This scene happened to be seen by Lin Shumo, who came out of the library one step behind.

Young Master Lin would never do something like rummaging through the trash can to pick up the test papers, but even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, it didn't prevent him from knowing what Jiang Fuyue was doing.

because--

He walked over and threw the 12 test papers he had finished today into the trash can.

When knowledge is engraved into the brain, the carrier becomes dispensable.

…

On the third day of camp, we started to divide into groups.

In principle, the decision should be made by drawing lots, but considering that everyone has been together for a few days and has become familiar with each other, after obtaining Yan Zhenfeng's consent, the restrictions were relaxed to allow them to form teams on their own.

The twenty-five people were divided into five groups of five, each managed by Yan Zhenfeng, three coaches, and life teacher Sun Qun.

Although it is called management, it is actually no big deal. After all, the daily training courses have been arranged long ago. If you really want to manage it, you can only take care of group cooperation, daily trivialities and the like.

Therefore, Sun Qun, the life teacher, was also assigned the management qualification of a group.

But obviously most students don't buy it.

"Is Mr. Sun okay? I heard he's a chemistry major."

"He's not teaching us, so it doesn't matter what major we're in, right?"

"I say you're stupid, but you really are stupid. After we're divided into groups, we have to study in a collaborative way. It's okay in class, since we're all together. But after class, if we don't understand something, don't we have to ask Teacher Yan every time? We can't ask Teacher Yan every time, right? If the teacher who manages our group can help us at this time, wouldn't it be a lot easier?"

"Hiss... Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense."

"In short, teachers are resources. If you want to learn more, you need to ensure that you have sufficient resources at hand and can access them at any time. I'm not saying that Teacher Sun is bad, but he's definitely not suitable."

"Then everyone will definitely choose Professor Yan. How can we compete with him?"

"Even if I can't win, I'll still give it a try. What if I do win? Besides, if I can't choose Professor Yan, I still have Professor Qin and the other three coaches. They're all physics masters, too. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Well... in this case, then Teacher Sun won't have anyone to choose from?"

Five seconds of silence.

Someone murmured quietly: "Who cares so much..."

Summer camp is not the end, the international arena is.

To put it nicely, this stage is called training camp, but to put it bluntly, it is a brutal elimination competition.

Out of the twenty-five people, only five can stay and represent the country on the IPhO competition stage.

The competition had already begun from the first day they entered the camp, but it was not so obvious. Now this grouping has completely shattered the surface harmony and revealed the cruel true face of the competition.

…

office.

Yan Zhenfeng: "Have all the groupings been notified?"

"Yeah." Qin Libin nodded, but there was obvious hesitation in his eyes. "Is this really going to be okay? In previous years, we just drew lots. Why are we letting students form their own teams this year?"

Yan Zhenfeng: "It's good to change your taste occasionally and try something new. It's boring to keep doing the same old thing."

"Old Yan, please be honest. What is the deep meaning behind this arrangement? Don't confuse everyone."

Yan Zhenfeng sighed: "Remember how we lost in Tel Aviv last year?"

Several people fell into silence.

Initially, there were no problems with the individual competition, and all five students performed extremely well. However, due to lack of overall planning and internal disagreements, the team competition ended in a disastrous defeat.

"They say a forced melon isn't sweet. Last year, we simply and crudely divided the groups, which led to a lack of coordination among the members and a lack of teamwork. We can't do that again this year."

"But if they divide it themselves, there might not be any contradictions. Furthermore, you also have to consider the issue of uneven distribution..."

Yan Zhenfeng nodded. "As long as it's a team, there will inevitably be conflicts. I agree with that, but conflicts can be reconciled or irreconcilable. It's the issue of uneven distribution... I need to think about it again."

Sun Qun heard this and smiled: "Needless to say, my group will definitely have the least number of people chosen."

But the actual situation is more confusing than imagined.

First of all, Yan Zhenfeng's group was full, which was expected.

According to the order of registration, the first five were kept.

Then, those who were screened out began to rush into the three coaching groups frantically.

When these three groups are full, only Sun Qun is left.

"I don't want to be in this group!"

"I refuse too! Why? Just because I'm not as fast as others?"

"This isn't fair. I'm going to find Master Yan!"

"I'm going too."

"How about we all come together?"

The three of them turned their inquiring eyes to the other two unlucky guys who had fallen into the same situation - Jiang Fuyue and Lin Shumo.

"Are you going or not? We can try to get Teacher Sun's group cancelled and have us added to other groups."

Jiang Fuyue: "It doesn't matter which group you're in."

Study on your own, not in a group.

Although teamwork can often achieve twice the result with half the effort, she doesn't need it.

If she wanted to, she could do the work of an entire team by herself, and the progress would only be faster than other groups.

Why bother making a trip and wasting time?

Lin Shumo was more direct: "No."

When the groups were being divided, he didn't even try to grab the chance. Just like Jiang Fuyue, he watched coldly and ended up in whichever group he was in.

It's outrageously casual and incredibly Buddhist.

really--

The three of them stared at the two misfits as if they had seen a ghost.

"Are you guys crazy?"

"The national team selection list is determined based on the group results. You definitely won't get high scores if you follow Teacher Sun!"

Yes, Jiang Fuyue is very strong and Lin Shumo is also a big shot, but the team's results are the average of the total scores of the five test papers.

No matter how capable these two people are, they can only do well on their own set of test papers. Even if they get full marks, there are still three zero-scores dragging them down, and the average score is instantly lowered.

How does it compare to other groups?

Anyway, they are not planning to stay, so let these two continue to do it if they want. They deserve to die if they do it.

"Are you really not going?" he asked one last time.

Jiang Fuyue: "No."

Lin Shumo didn't even bother to reply.

The man gritted his teeth, his expression still tinged with anger: "Forget it! You two can just wait to be eliminated!"

After saying that, he led the other two people towards the office in a menacing manner.

Jiang Fuyue continued to do the questions.

Lin Shumo slowly turned the page of the All England Championship analysis in his hand...

The first update is 3,000 words, and the second update is tentatively scheduled for 2 pm. Please refer to the comments section for the specific time adjustment.
