Chen Pei's performance was neither good nor bad. He got 9 out of 15 words correct and received extra points for a total of 39 points.
Song Jiangli may have used the words he used to comfort Zhou Zhizhi to comfort himself as well. He performed well, answering 18 words correctly, 10 of which he recognized, for a total of 46 points.
Zhou Zhizhi scored 3 points less than her, 43.
As the last-place player, Wang Zhaozhao was keeping score: 42+39+46+43...
"Our 'Young Gray' team has a total score of 170. I'll just answer any question, even if it's zero, it doesn't matter, hehe... I won't be eliminated, and the top three are all guaranteed, that's fine."
Captain Song Jiangli looked at her and said, "Although this is a team competition, do you think there will be individual evaluations later? Besides, our school's two principals are watching you, as are the first-place winners you met during the competition."
How dare you give a random answer and give zero points?
Do you still want to save your face?!
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"As expected of you, the captain of the Young Whiteheads!"
Give Song Jiangli a big thumbs up, she ran away quickly, she is the study committee member of their class, she is so impressive.
Really suitable to be an official.
Song Jiangli was speechless for a moment, while Chen Pei laughed at the side, "Zhao Zhao has a really good attitude, she doesn't seem nervous at all."
"Is it possible that the more relaxed she appears, the more nervous she is inside?" Xu Yanni said slowly.
“…That’s amazing.”
"That's true."
Xu Yanni nodded continuously. If she were asked to do it, she couldn't do it.
If Wang Zhaozhao, who was on the stage, heard their conversation, he would only say: You are overthinking it.
But I was right.
Although she knew she could just lie down and win, winning or losing the game was another matter. No matter what, she wanted the 60 points for the 30 rare characters.
Her excited heart and trembling hands were not under her control at all.
The staff has replaced the question board.
龘, chub, old, die, glutton, tie, hesitate, hesitate, rush, rush, ...魍, 魉.
Standing here and looking at this question board, the feeling is very different.
One minute goes by so fast.
Wang Zhaozhao felt that she had just watched from beginning to end when the host announced that the time was up.
Returning to her seat, she took a deep breath as she picked up the pen.
If she doesn't get all 60 points, will it be worthy of the intelligence points she has added to her memory in recent years?
I was busy writing for a while and had just finished answering when the host reminded me that there was only 1 minute left.
"Thirty seconds left."
"10 seconds countdown."
"Ten, nine... three, two, one."
"Time's up! Stop answering."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the staff came over and collected the answer board.
call……
Wang Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Follow everyone to the center of the stage.
"Come, everyone, take a look. The first character is 龘, pronounced dá, and means: the appearance of a soaring dragon...
The second character: 鳜, pronounced guì… The third character: 耄mào… The fourth character: 耋dié… The fifth character: 饕tāo… 餮tiè… 踟chí…
..."
The host's voice intertwined, and after reading out 30 words, the contestants' scores were out.
Wang Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he got all the basic points and an additional 23 points, for a total of 83 points.
"Ahhh, Zhaozhao, you got 83 points..." After getting off the stage and returning to the contestant area, Xu Yanni couldn't hide her excitement and screamed, and came up to them.
"I'm lucky. Words like taotie and maodie are just free points." Wang Zhaozhao was very calm.
She was telling the truth. At least as for the additional points, those points were earned for free.
"Luck is also a form of strength. And when you mentioned luck, no one else gave you as many answers as you did. The most important thing is, not only did you remember all the words, you even got the order right..."
Xu Yanni couldn't control her excitement at all.
She herself participated in it. If it wasn't in such an occasion and it wasn't so crowded, she might have answered more correctly, but the reality was - it was such a crowded occasion that she was dazzled.
Back to their seats, Song Jiangli and the others looked excited, and Song Jiangli even patted Zhou Zhizhi on the shoulder.
"Am I right? There's no need to be nervous. Even if we get zero points, we still have our boss Ban Zhao to back us up. It's very stable."
“…I’m convinced.”
Zhou Zhizhi gave a thumbs up sincerely.
At this time, the staff were calculating the total scores and rankings of each team, and many of the audience on the stage were watching in the player area.
"You are worthy of being my good sister." Xu Jiaying said with a look of pride on her face.
"I'm really looking forward to the National Mathematics Competition for Middle School Students in the second half of the year." Chu Jian said, adjusting his glasses.
Xu Shengsheng looked at the gleam of light behind his glasses and was speechless for a moment: "When I was in Qing Province, I didn't get particularly close to you. I was right."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhikai expressed curiosity.
"Perhaps I sensed at that time that there was a subtle gap between me and them."
"Speaking human language?"
"There's a fundamental difference between me, the number one, and the others who are number one."
"How can I, who's not even number one, play with them?"
"That's different."
“…”
Xiao Zhikai was silent for a moment, then nodded and said leisurely, "It's indeed different."
Xu Shengsheng: “……!”
As they were talking, the two hosts returned to the stage and announced the results of each team and the six teams that were eliminated.
Before the end, it was announced that the third round of the competition will start at 8:30 tomorrow morning, with 15 players competing in the next 9.
As for what and how the competition will be held, we will have to go to the venue tomorrow and find out before the competition begins.
Day one, end.
Wang Zhaozhao and the other four were still taken away by Director Guan. It was only four o'clock and it was too early to eat, so they just left through other passages.
They just took them back to the guesthouse and returned them to the principal or teacher of their school.
"Free time. Come to the cafeteria for lunch at 5:30." Principal Chen didn't have any other instructions and didn't restrict them. "However, if you want to go out, you must find Teacher Zhou Donglai to accompany you."
There are quite a lot of kidnappers these days, and there are bad news about them in the newspapers from time to time.
Children and girls should pay special attention to safety when going out.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others didn't know why they were arranged to go to Qing Province and come to Liancheng by plane, and why they had direct special cars to and from the airport. It was for their safety.
The train station is relatively more chaotic.
Let’s not talk about the news. There was a family in the staff housing compound of Principal Chen. A cousin of hers who had married far away came back alone to visit her family while her children were on vacation. When she got off at Lianshan Railway Station, an old woman came up to look for her, Lulu.
She was in a daze and gave all the money she had on her to the other person. It was not until she had walked a long way away that she realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, it's just about money. If it were about people...
The consequences are unbearable to imagine!
