Chapter 241 Arrival in Beijing!

Gu Yin put all the books she needed to read this week, along with her computer, some other important items, bed sheets, and toiletries, into the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

When I left, I just carried a backpack with only two sets of clothes inside, and that was it. I easily made my way to the school gate to meet up.

When Gu Yin arrived at the door, many classmates and Feng Jiangyue were already there. A bus with the sign "Jianggao" was parked next to them; this bus would take them to the airport.

When they saw Gu Yin coming over, everyone became curious.

Feng Jiangyue checked the time and called out, "Everyone, get in the car and sit down! We'll leave in half an hour!"

Gu Yin got on the bus with them and sat in the last row. Feng Jiangyue was still downstairs, waiting for the students who hadn't arrived yet.

With the teacher absent, everyone seemed to become more lively, and several people looked at Gu Yin with curiosity.

One of the girls smiled and said, "Gu, are you with me?"

Gu Yin was no longer surprised that they knew her. Ever since she joined the school forum with Chu Yan, almost everyone knew Gu Yin, unless they were students who were oblivious to what was going on around them.

Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll be with you, but I'm not going to participate in the competition. I'm here to broaden my horizons. I hope you won't find it troublesome."

The girl waved her hand: "What's the trouble! But are you skipping class to come here because you're going to take the competition-based admission route, like us?"

Gu Yin shook her head: "I will take the college entrance examination, but I like competitions." There was nothing to hide about this, and the students here were all in their final year and second year of high school, so Gu Yin had no competition with them.

A gasp of surprise immediately filled the car.

"sharp!"

"Impressive! Awesome!"

"He's ruthless!"

Gu Yin quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I admire you all! You're so close to getting into summer camp, you're the best! I hope everyone comes back victorious this time!"

After the mutual compliments, everyone was present, and the car started moving.

Arrive at the airport, board the plane, and three hours later, the plane lands at the Capital Airport.

Stepping out of the airport, Gu Yin looked up at the gloomy sky and forced a smile.

"It's been a long time."

Feng Jiangyue nodded to the students and, seeing that they had all come down, waved for them to follow her to the car. But then she saw Gu Yin standing there looking up at the sky. She looked up and thought, "What's so interesting about this gray sky?"

"Gu Yin, what are you standing there for! Follow me!"

Gu Yin looked down and saw Feng Jiangyue calling her, so she immediately followed.

The venue for this competition is a junior high school in Beijing. Tomorrow is the weekend, so students won't be attending school. The competition will last for two days, and the hotel where we will stay has also been arranged near the school.

During the competition, all students and teachers were not allowed to leave the hotel and ate and slept there.

After Gu Yin found out, she told Feng Jiangyue that she would stay at the hotel across the street and could go out and explore during the day. If she stayed with them, she wouldn't be able to move around freely. She also wanted to visit the library here, since she had come all this way and wanted to take 001 to collect some things it needed.

Feng Jianyue shook her head upon hearing this: "You came out with me, so I have to be responsible for your safety! Also, have you forgotten that you are still a minor! Do you think I can trust you to act alone? Listen to me, stay with us for two days. After two days, I'll have the other teachers take them back first, and then you and I will stay and show you around for two days, how about that?"

Gu Yin had no choice but to agree. Being a minor is one of the downsides; it's inconvenient to do anything. She could only agree: "Then I'll listen to the teacher."

When the rooms were assigned, Gu Yin and Feng Jianyue shared a room. After dinner, Feng Jianyue went to chat with the other candidates, while Gu Yin stayed in the room to study. The next day, Feng Jianyue went to the examination hall with them, and Gu Yin went with them as well, but they all had to wait in the car at the entrance.

There were quite a lot of people. Gu Yin estimated that there were at least four or five hundred people taking the exam. Selecting 60 people from these hundreds to enter the summer camp showed just how fierce the competition was.

Moreover, these hundreds of people are all elites from various provinces. They have all come through layers of competition and elimination. They have only come halfway here. Everyone says that the competition is tough, but only they know that the toughness is worth it!

The exam time is the same for both days, from 8:00 to 12:30.

Gu Yin went to observe for two days, and the questions seemed very difficult. She never saw a single person with a smile on their face when they came out! As a result, the teachers didn't dare to ask too many questions, and Gu Yin didn't dare to cause any trouble either. She stayed quietly in her room in the afternoon to avoid disturbing them.

The tense atmosphere only dissipated after the exams ended on the second day.

Everyone gathered in Feng Jiangyue's room and began discussing the topic.

Many people wrote down the questions. The first question was an algebra question, the second was a geometry question, and the third was about composite objects. There were three questions on the first day.

After the questions were presented, Gu Yin also did some calculations. The first question had two sub-questions and was relatively simple. The purpose of the first question was mainly to get the students into the zone, so they should all get points on this question. Gu Yin also solved this question.

The second question is quite difficult, arguably the most difficult of the three. The answer is even more bizarre. When you finally get the answer, your first reaction won't be that you've finished writing it, but that you've gotten it wrong. This is because the answer looks like a math problem, with denominators and numerators, and even square roots.

Many people wasted three-quarters of the exam time on this question. If they had gotten it right, they could have gotten three or four points on the third day, which would have been acceptable. But many people didn't finish this question and then only got two or three points on the next one, which basically ruined their chances.

The third question covered a lot of diverse topics, but it was relatively simple compared to the first two. If someone is particularly clever, they could do the first question last night, then the third, and get all the points they were supposed to get. Then, even if they got the second question wrong, their score wouldn't be too bad!

The National Mathematics Competition finals lasted two days, with six major questions and a total of nine hours. Each question was worth 21 points, for a total of 126 points. After Gu Yin finished, she sent the answers to Feng Jiangyue, asking her to take a look when she had time.

The results will be released in ten days after the competition, so everyone can go back tomorrow.

There were five teachers leading the team this time, two of whom were from Jiang City. So on the day they left Beijing, Feng Jiangyue asked another teacher to lead the team while she stayed behind.
