Chapter 100 Chapter 100 [End of IMO Competition]
Everyone calmed down and followed Professor Wan all the way to the auditorium. When they sat down in their seats, they were still the focus of everyone's attention. Lin Yimu, who won the first place with full marks, received envious and jealous looks from members from all countries.
The IMO competition has a total of three awards, gold, silver and bronze, corresponding to the first prize, second prize and third prize respectively. In addition, there is also a special award, which is the first place with full marks. However, no one has successfully obtained full marks in previous years, which means that this award has actually always been vacant.
And now, in their class, someone was able to get full marks on such a perverted question. Although everyone had a premonition in their hearts, everyone had a sense of luck. Now that their team leader had informed them of the scores in advance, their feelings were really complicated.
As all the people gradually arrived, the closing ceremony began in the excitement and anticipation of everyone. The first part was the chairman of the organizing committee taking the stage to give a speech. After the chairman's speech, it was time for the award ceremony, which everyone was looking forward to and was nervous and excited about.
In fact, the award ceremony was the same as the domestic competition process, with the third prize awarded first and then the other prizes going forward. As the list was announced, members from other countries took to the stage one by one to receive the awards. Because Xiao Jingyuan didn't solve the last question, he only won the second prize this time. However, the second prize in the IMO competition is also very good. Didn't you see that there were so many consolation prizes and third prizes before?
After the second prizes are awarded, the next step is to announce the first prize list.
Lin Yimu stared at the list in the chairman's hand with a rare nervous look. Although he knew his ranking and score from the professor, it would be difficult for him to relax as long as the list was not announced.
But the final result was good. Lin Yimu, Huang Minglei, Ke Chengyan, Cheng Xiuyuan and Yuan Mingxu all won the first prize. This result once again focused all attention in the venue on the Z country team.
The other national teams were in a bad mood. After all, five of the six members from Country Z won first place, and even the worst one was second place. Adding all these scores together, they would definitely win first place in the group. How could anyone feel good about this?
The venue was bustling with noise as everyone was discussing their own or others' scores, but soon everyone quieted down when the champion was announced.
"Next is the most exciting moment in the history of the IMO competition." The organizing committee member who was standing on the stage announcing the awards opened the list in his hand and continued, "Every year we look for a member who can get full marks among the participating students and become the winner of the special award, but most of the time it is a bit disappointing. This year we finally waited for such a person, and he is from Country Z."
The member of the organizing committee who was presenting the awards paused at this point, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense and watching the reactions of the team members from various countries sitting in rows below.
And the people in the audience did not disappoint him, they all stared at him with wide eyes. Although they already knew who this person was, they still prayed in their hearts that it was not him. Although they knew that the hope was slim, after all, the award presenter had already said that he was from Country Z, but still, no one was willing to believe this fact until the very last moment.
The winners of the special award in the IMO competition are the most dazzling ones in the competition. There is only one member who gets full marks among so many people in the national teams. This is more precious than the first, second and third prizes awarded previously. It also shows that you are the best one among so many people, not to mention that no country has won this award for many years.
Amid the anticipation, nervousness, and frowns of the crowd, the award presenter finally read out a name, "He is from Country Z - Lin Yimu!"
"Congratulations to Lin Yimu for winning the IMO competition special award!" After the award presenter said this, he looked at Lin Yimu who walked up to the stage with a smile and presented him the trophy in his hand.
Although the national teams sitting in the audience felt very uncomfortable, the outcome was already decided and they could only put away all the emotions in their hearts and on their faces, smile and applaud. For a while, the auditorium was filled with thunderous applause.
At the moment when Lin Yimu received the trophy, 001 who was quietly reading a comic book in his mind appeared again, "Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission, winning the gold medal in the IMO competition, and being rewarded with an interstellar library."
As 001's voice spoke, a very spacious, grand and technological library appeared in Lin Yimu's mind, and the upper right corner of the panel in front of him also displayed a sign indicating that his mission had been completed.
Lin Yimu looked at the library in his mind, and the happy smile on his face widened a little bit. He didn't even care about the microphone that the media was holding in front of him and almost poked him in the face.
That's right, because when Lin Yi Mu was standing on the stage happily just now, the media who had been waiting for the opportunity below the stage immediately rushed to him after the award presenter of the organizing committee stepped down. Now a bunch of people were holding microphones and asking him questions.
"Hello, Lin Yimu, how do you feel about winning the first place in the IMO competition? I heard that no one has won this award for many years."
Lin Yimu didn't have time to carefully look at the library that appeared in his mind for the time being. He could only sigh regretfully in his heart and carefully deal with the media in front of him.
"As for my feelings, I can only say that I am very lucky and I am very happy that the organizing committee can give me this award. It is my honor." Lin Yimu smiled politely and began to speak official language to the media.
The media waiting for the answer were obviously not satisfied with Lin Yimu's answer. One of them, probably a state media who knew about Lin Yimu's deeds, asked a very sharp question, "Mr. Lin Yimu, do you have anything you want to say to everyone about your current achievements after returning to campus six months after the entertainment industry talent show?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu turned around and looked at the media that asked the question. It was a domestic media that came to interview him, but wasn’t the question a bit sarcastic?
Lin Yimu smiled and turned to the reporter who asked the question. Just as he was about to answer, he was blocked by two observers who squeezed in. One of the teachers smiled and said, "Okay, if you have any questions, you can come back for a special interview after you return home. We have to hurry to attend the organizer's dinner. We are really sorry."
After saying that, he was about to protect Lin Yimu and walk out of the crowd, but the reporter who was interrupted was obviously unwilling to give up. He still wanted to grab the headlines with the first-hand information, so he asked sharply: "Does classmate Lin Yimu have any unspeakable secrets? This question should be easy to answer!"
When Lin Yimu heard what the other party said, he frowned fiercely, and his originally happy face also took on a hint of coldness. "What do you mean by unspeakable secret? What's wrong with talking about the achievements I have made with my own ability? Even if I participated in a talent show in the entertainment industry before, what's wrong? There is no high or low in professions. As long as you take it seriously, you deserve respect."
At this point, Lin Yimu's tone softened, and he continued to look at the reporter and said, "As for your question about how I achieved such success in just half a year, I can tell you sincerely that there are no shortcuts in life, and the same is true for learning. Every success is the fruit of other people's sweat and tears. When others are playing, I am learning. When others are resting, I am learning. When others are studying, I am also learning."
After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he was too lazy to even give the other person a look. He had already said what he needed to say anyway, so he didn't care how the other person wrote.
I don’t know if Lin Yi Mu’s words had any effect on the reporter, but they had a great impact on the members of the other countries’ teams who had not yet left, and made everyone less hostile towards Lin Yi Mu.
However, Lin Yimu's remarks and the interview were posted online, where they sparked a flurry of discussion. Some people thought that the young man from Country Z who won the first place in the IMO competition was very arrogant, while others thought that what he said was very reasonable.
It was later reposted on the domestic Internet by students studying abroad, sparking a discussion among domestic netizens. Many netizens asked where Lin Yimu was going under the Weibo post he posted yesterday. Some even speculated that he was really selected for the national team to participate in the IMO competition. After all, this year's IMO competition was held in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
After seeing this interview online, netizens are all excited, especially after knowing that Lin Yi Mu not only won the first prize, but was also the only one in this session with a full score. Netizens in Country Z are even happier, especially the fans who have always supported Lin Yi Mu, they are all as happy as if it were New Year.
There are also fans who have been following Lin Yi Mu. They dug out a Weibo post that Lin Yi Mu had posted a long time ago in response to his haters, and found the messages below that had previously clamored for Lin Yi Mu to participate in the IMO competition and join the national training team. They tagged those netizens one by one and asked them to come out and apologize and fulfill their promise.
[My friend @风的大的大, our Muzai has already met the requirements to enter the national training team and has even won the championship. Now it’s time for you to come out and fulfill your promise, right? Although we shepherds don't want a son or daughter as old as you, you still have to call me dad. [Image x1]】
After tagging this netizen, this cute little fan also posted screenshots of the other party's previous and current messages. He then took screenshots of all the messages saying that Lin Yimu was bragging and posted them under this comment, along with a very cute emoticon of a bunny with a swollen face.
This wave of ridicule was so huge that it made the crowd of netizens laugh. However, those accounts that were tagged and posted pictures by the young lady did not respond until Lin Yimu boarded the plane back to China. Some ruthless people even cancelled their accounts.
However, this incident was remembered by netizens who supported Lin Yimu, and even pushed this topic to the top of Weibo hot searches in a very short time.
But the title is very strange, which makes the netizens who clicked in look confused. The title is [Please apologize for the strong wind! 】
Lin Yi Mu did not pay attention to these for the time being. He and his group flew back to China the day after the dinner. When the hot searches were going viral, Lin Yi Mu was still on the plane.
By the time Lin Yi Mu knew the whole story, two days had passed. The final result, of course, was that the netizen named Feng Da He could no longer bear the ridicule and really agreed to call Lin Yi Mu "Dad" from then on. Even some netizens who had their IDs posted to mock Lin Yi Mu had their accounts deleted and some came out to apologize to Lin Yi Mu.
They have to apologize. Many of them have been using the account for many years. No matter where they are active, they will encounter people who know the situation and ask about it. Many people also ask in private messages whether they have apologized, which makes people very frustrated.
