When Jiang Yi thought of his sister and his younger sister who had not been found, his mind instantly became extremely clear.

He needs money, his sister needs money, and their family needs money too!

If he gets first place, he will get a sum of money, so he can't give up no matter what!

Jiang Yi's mind was working rapidly. He tried several methods but failed to solve the problem. At his wit's end, he remembered the reverse reasoning method that Teacher Shen had mentioned.

Jiang Yi tried to use the reverse deduction method, but he didn’t expect that this method was really useful. After careful and detailed calculations, he actually did it!

Jiang Yi quickly raised his hand to signal, and at the same time Zheng Yuefeng also raised his hand.

The referee looked at the two little hands raised high and finally chose Zheng Yuefeng.

"Sorry, Jiang Yi, Zheng Yuefeng raised his hand before you, so I can only look at his answer first. If he answers it, you have no chance. If he doesn't answer it, then you still have a chance."

The referee came over, and Zheng Yuefeng confidently submitted his carefully calculated answer.

At the same time, he was very glad that he was quick. With only a difference of 0.1 second, Jiang Yi raised his hand before him.

Zheng Yuefeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Jiang Yi with a hint of provocation.

It turned out that when Jiang Yi had been watching his game and regarded him as an opponent, Zheng Yuefeng also regarded Jiang Yi, who had very strong personal abilities, as a competitor.

They may not encounter it in the team competition, but they will definitely encounter it in the individual competition.

Although they met on the last day, Jiang Yi's performance did not disappoint him.

His strength is on par with his, and he is indeed worthy of being his opponent.

"Jiang Yi, what is your purpose in wanting to be number one?"

From the moment the answers were collected, Zheng Yuefeng had a bright smile on his face, as if the first place was already his.

“Because of money!”

Jiang Yi didn't hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts.

After hearing this, Zheng Yuefeng burst into laughter. "Jiang Yi, I didn't expect you to have such good grades, but you're such a mediocre person. Participating in a competition of this level and quality will not only help you improve yourself, but also give you a taste of the learning atmosphere of a higher education institution. Isn't that great?"

"You've never experienced the hardship of being broke, so you naturally don't understand. I don't blame you."

Jiang Yi did not have any extra explanations. Everyone's experiences were different, so there was no need to analyze one's inner thoughts just to make others understand him.

Some pasts and pains can only be buried deep in the heart and licked by oneself alone.

Telling others the truth rarely earns sympathy, and most of the time it only makes them laugh.

So why bother explaining it? It's a complete waste of words.

Jiang Yi's light words made Zheng Yuefeng stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Yi, at such a young age, could speak and act in such an old-fashioned way.

Zheng Yuefeng shook his head and said nothing more. No matter what Jiang Yi's purpose was, the first place was his and the money was his!

Zheng Yuefeng answered the most difficult question, which meant that he was about to get the first place in the individual exam. The students of Baihua Middle School cheered.

Some teachers and classmates gave Zheng Yuefeng a thumbs up, and some female classmates kept making heart gestures to him.

Zheng Yuefeng's academic performance has always been among the best, and he is the well-deserved number one in the third grade of Baihua Town No. 1 Middle School.

He has always had a high reputation in school and most of his classmates admire him.

Zheng Yuefeng was used to everyone's admiration and the loving looks of his female classmates, and he particularly enjoyed this feeling.

When everyone cheered for him, Zheng Yuefeng kept waving his hands towards the audience, with a smile on his face, and he looked very energetic.

Zheng Yuefeng clenched his fists, a determined smile on his face.

The referee teacher took Zheng Yuefeng's draft paper and checked the answers, and finally she shook her head.

The referee stood up and returned the draft book to Zheng Yuefeng.

"Student Zheng Yuefeng, you've answered 2/3 of the questions correctly. From here on, you've gotten everything wrong. Even though you raised your hand first, I still can't declare you the winner."

"Jiang Yi, bring me your draft book. Zheng Yuefeng got some of this question wrong. If you can get all of it right, first place will be yours."

"If you only answer part of the question, and the two of you are tied, you will need to start over."

Jiang Yi handed over the draft book he had prepared long ago without saying a word.

He had originally prepared himself to be second, but he didn't expect that after going through so many twists and turns, he would find a way out.

Zheng Yuefeng clenched his draft book, his whole body shaking with anger.

I originally thought that he would be the first place, but now because he got part of the question wrong, it means that Jiang Yi has another chance.

What if Jiang Yi gets all the answers right? Doesn’t that mean he can only get second place?

The only difference between the first and second place is a scholarship of 1,000 yuan per year.

It was the 1970s, and 1,000 yuan was a huge sum of money for many families.

If a student can go to school for free and can also earn money, he will definitely be the pride of the village no matter which village he lives in.

Zheng Yuefeng's family conditions are pretty good, and 1,000 yuan is not a lot for him, but he feels a little unwilling to lose the money he has earned.

Zheng Yuefeng stared at the referee, hoping that he would say that Jiang Yi had answered the question wrong.

He is so smart, if he can't solve the problem, Jiang Yi definitely can't solve it either!

Zheng Yuefeng clenched his fists, his nerves tense.

Several judges gathered together and corrected the papers carefully.

We gathered together to discuss from time to time, and finally came to the conclusion that Jiang Yi's answer to this question was perfect and very close to the correct answer.

Moreover, his solution was very novel, something they had never seen before, and the answer was correct.

The judges gathered together and marveled at him. They all raised their heads and looked at Jiang Yi with surprise.

Although Jiang Yi is not tall, he has a very flexible mind.

Their school must strive to get such an outstanding student!

Jiang Yi noticed that several referees were looking at him with fanatical eyes. Jiang Yi didn't know what was going on, and he lowered his head uncomfortably.

"Student Jiang Yi, congratulations on getting this question right!"

"This is an advanced university math problem. I originally thought you couldn't solve it, but I didn't expect both of you to be so good."

"Zheng Yuefeng was already excellent for being able to answer 2/3 of the questions, but you answered 100% of them, and they were completely correct. Furthermore, the method you used is very novel. How did you come up with that?"

Several judging teachers stood up, walked eagerly to Jiang Yi, and began to discuss the question around him.

"I couldn't figure it out at first, but then I remembered the reverse deduction method that Teacher Shen taught me, and it really worked for me. I'm mainly grateful to my math teacher, Teacher Shen, for being able to solve this problem. Without him, I would have been completely lost this time."
