Chapter 230: Taking Care of Everyone, Death Swings His Knife (Part 1)

Everyone trembled.

Huo Fanjin swallowed hard and mustered up his courage: "No, if not barbecue, then what should I do?"

Jiang Fuyue glanced at the test paper in her hand and asked, "What do you think?"

Huo Fanjin was stunned.

Others weren't much better.

Five minutes later, two tables were placed on the left and right at the innermost part of the barbecue restaurant, leaving an aisle in the middle for passage.

Jiang Fuyue took a plastic stool and sat in the middle of the aisle, holding IOI in his left hand and IPhO in his right hand, carrying two teams on his shoulders.

Fan Ye's ten fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard. The two boys sitting at the same table were also equally focused. Gao Zhaoming was concentrating, and Huang Hui was concentrating.

A plate of barbecue was placed in the middle of the table, and the aroma went straight into the nostrils of the three people.

Fan Ye just wanted it to go faster and faster, and finally——

"Sister Yue! I'm fine! Please check it out!" As he said that, he turned the computer towards her.

Jiang Fuyue quickly scanned it and pressed Enter to test run it: "No problem."

Fan Ye: "Then can I eat it?!" Her eyes lit up.

"certainly."

Fan Ye let out a roar and pounced on the barbecue.

Gao Zhaoming was anxious. Beads of sweat hung on his chubby white face and he kept swallowing his saliva.

Huang Hui couldn't help but speed up.

Upon hearing this, the people at the table next to them subconsciously stretched their necks to look over here—

I saw Fan Ye holding a string of palm treasures in her left hand and a string of small tofu in her right hand, eating them with great relish.

Gudong——

This is Fang Canyang.

He looked at the half-finished test paper in his hand, then looked at Fan Ye's satisfied expression with a lingering sweet taste in her teeth and cheeks, and suddenly he felt as sour as a plum.

Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan were fine; they just glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to concentrate on their work.

Apart from writing faster and thinking more actively, there is not much difference from before.

As for Huo Fanjin...

Sorry, the young lady is still in a daze.

He didn't answer any of the questions and didn't move his pen.

After a while, she looked at Jiang Fuyue hesitantly: "...Are you a devil?"

Lin Shumo: “…”

Ling Xuan: “…”

Fang Canyang: “!”

Jiang Fuyue heard this, met her gaze, and smiled: "I'm not a devil, I'm your captain."

Oh, a truth more terrible than the devil.

"But...why don't you do the exercises in the classroom? Or maybe in the library?"

Why would you come to a place like a barbecue restaurant that invites crime?

Jiang Fuyue: "That's convenient." You can eat after you're done.

"But how are you supposed to write the test when you're making people drool like this?"

"Oh, that's something you should consider." It's none of my business.

Huo Fanjin: "..."

At this time, Fan Ye had finished eating a string of palm treasures. She picked up the second string and put it to her mouth, and suddenly met Huo Fanjin's resentful little eyes.

She was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Sister Huo, do you want to eat?"

"Let's think about it!" Huo Fanjin pecked at the rice like a chick.

She was deeply touched: Look, the little sister is thinking about her and even remembers to share her some delicious food.

However, in fact—

Fan Ye: "Then you have to keep working hard! This crispy bone is really delicious! It's fragrant and spicy, and has the flavor of cumin..."

Huo Fanjin: “?” I advise you to be a human being!

Just at this moment, the proprietress brought up a huge plate of roasted meat and placed it in front of her.

Huo Fanjin was about to reach out her hand, but she met Jiang Fuyue's death stare, and she...cowardly.

I silently picked up the pen and started with the first question of the first question.

"Heh..." Lin Shumo chuckled.

Huo Fanjin's face turned black immediately, and the next second he heard him speak——

"I'm done."

Huo Fanjin: “?” Oh my god! I haven’t even started yet, how can you finish?!

Then Ling Xuan put down his pen: "I can do it too."

Fan Ye at the next table had already started gnawing on chicken wings: "Wow! Sister Huo, this is even better! If you don't believe me, try it later!"

Huo Fanjin was going crazy: "Jiang Fuyue!"

The whole audience was silent.

"Is there something?" Qingling's gaze fell on her face.

Huo Fanjin: "You, you, you—why did you bring us together with the IOI national team?!"

That little girl Fan Ye is so hateful!

How dare he openly covet her?

Before Jiang Fuyue could speak, Fan Ye smiled and said, "Because Sister Yue is also our captain!"

Huo Fanjin: “?”

"She doesn't have that much time to take care of us separately, so why not just bring us together? It saves time and effort, right, Sister Yue?"

The smile on Jiang Fuyue's lips proved that what Fan Ye said was true.

only……

What does "take care of us" mean?!

Are we just mixed hair or weeds? How should we take care of them?

I feel offended [smile]JPG

"Then why are you making us do these tests? The questions aren't in the main test area. They're all about marginal knowledge points, like the KB curve, which I've never even heard of... We're going to Country D for a competition next week. Is it really necessary to do this now?"

Jiang Fuyue glanced at the others: "What about you? Do you think so too?"

Ling Xuan shook his head: "I don't think so. Since you did it, you must have your reasons."

Jiang Fuyue turned to look at Lin Shumo.

The latter twirled his pen and spoke leisurely, "There's no such thing as a specific focus in the competition. Any knowledge point within the scope of mechanics, thermodynamics, molecular physics, optics, atomic and nuclear physics, and electromagnetism will likely be tested. Focusing on the key points and ignoring the details might yield a higher score, but you'll never get a perfect score."

Judging from the results of previous years' competitions, failing to get a perfect score means losing the gold medal.

"Do you think it's necessary?" Lin Shumo retorted.

"I……"

"Also, just because you don't know what the KB curve is doesn't mean others don't know either. Next time you speak, think carefully before you speak."

Huo Fanjin glared at him angrily: "You!"

Lin Shumo had a dull expression and waited for her to retort, but unfortunately, Huo Fanjin couldn't utter a single word.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Fang Canyang: "Do you know?"

"ah?"

"KB curve!" Huo Fanjin stomped his feet.

"I know a little bit."

Lin Shumo snorted and laughed, as if to say: See, you brought shame upon yourself.

Huo Fanjin's face turned pale and red, but he still refused to admit defeat: "Then... even if we expand our knowledge, the difficulty doesn't have to be this great, right? These questions are not even on the same level as what we usually do."

"Do you know where the competition is held?"

Huo Fanjin: "Country D."

"Don't you have any idea of ​​the difficulty of the questions set by Country D?"

"Just because it's held in Country D doesn't mean the questions are set by Country D, right?"

"No," Fang Canyang shook his head hesitantly. "The host country has the right to choose the topic. They are used to giving difficult questions, so the topics they choose will tend to be difficult."

Lin Shumo snapped his fingers: "There are still smart people in our team!"

Huo Fanjin stopped moving and remained silent.

Jiang Fuyue: "These are the questions provided by Country D in previous years. Twenty percent of them were selected for the IPhO real questions in previous years, and the rest were all not selected. Almost all of them are here." As he said this, he patted the stack of A3 papers at hand, like the Grim Reaper waving the scythe in his hand.

Cold, ruthless, and decisive in killing.

One update, 2,000 words.

Second update at 7pm.
