I, Jiang Jiang, rarely hear the system refer to itself like this.
Jiang Jiang could even hear its fear in its flat mechanical sound.
How can I help you?
——Complete the task as soon as possible.
Jiang Jiang fell into deep thought after hearing this. Her mission was to become a perfect person, but in reality, some people would never be able to become a perfect person even after a lifetime of poverty.
However...
I will do my best.
If the system hadn't appeared, she might still be helping out in the small noodle shop at home. The system is her teacher and her salvation, and Jiang Jiang will never let the system be devoured.
Did the new system appear in another person?
——Yes, host.
Is her host's goal to become perfect?
--no.
…
When Jiang Jiang was asking about the new system and its host, a girl suddenly stopped in the practice room of an entertainment company in Jianghai City.
"Who are you?" the girl shouted towards the empty practice room. Is this a prank?
But then, the cold system voice rang in the girl's mind.
——Hello host, I am the entertainment industry strategy system. Next, I will use the most perfect strategy to help the host become the hottest star in the entertainment industry!
The girl was shocked and her breathing became faster and faster. She never thought that the system would befall her.
The most popular star? Isn't that what she wants? With the system in hand, isn't it easy to become the most popular star?
"What should I do?"
…
Jiang Jiang thought about it all night and decided that if she wanted to be perfect, she would need to keep learning. However, competitions like math competitions did not require perfection, so she did not plan to participate in similar competitions in the future.
According to her thinking, she wants to withdraw from the competition and go back to school to study hard.
In the end, the system stopped her. First, giving up halfway was not encouraged by the system. Second, the competition had already reached its final moments and would not take up much of Jiang Jiang's time.
Jiang Jiang had no choice but to calm down and decided to compete first and then learn other things after the competition.
The next day, everyone gathered in class, waiting for the teacher to announce the results.
When the teacher came to the class with the test results, all the students breathed faster.
When the teacher started announcing the grades, everyone sat up straight.
"Jiang Jiang, first place, total score 200."
As soon as the teacher finished reading, everyone looked at Jiang Jiang at the same time. To be honest, this score was within everyone's expectations, but it was also beyond everyone's expectations.
After the exam yesterday, many people were talking about how Jiang Jiang would not get full marks again! However, many people felt that it was unlikely. The difficulty of the questions this time was so high that even Jiang Jiang would not be able to get full marks, right?
But the actual situation almost made those students who denied yesterday want to kneel down.
Too strong. Really too strong.
He was admitted to the national team with full marks, and entered the international competition with full marks. With such achievements and such talents, even those present here are gifted with gifts of heaven, and they would be amazed.
I don't know who started clapping towards Jiang Jiang first, and then the whole class followed suit and clapped their hands.
Such achievements are indeed worthy of their applause.
The teacher also clapped his hands and smiled. As a teacher, he was naturally happy that Jiang Jiang could achieve such results. If Jiang Jiang continued to maintain this level, she would definitely win glory for the country in future international competitions.
Compared to the happiness of others, Jiang Jiang's mood was more complicated. The system's affairs were like a knife hanging over her head.
——Host, good luck in the international competition.
good.
Song Huien finally won the seventh place and won the qualification for the international competition.
Although her ranking was not high, the fact that she qualified for the international competition already showed that her level was quite good.
Among the freshmen, only Jiang Jiang and Song Huien entered the national competition.
After the results were announced, the training officially ended and the students were allowed to go home.
The school teacher had already bought the ticket home for Jiang Jiang, so he packed his luggage and took the bus home directly.
The capital is a bit far from Anning City, and even by train, it took Jiang Jiang several hours.
When we arrived at the station, Yude's teacher was already waiting there.
When Jiang Jiang took the bus back to school, he saw banners hanging everywhere in the school.
From warmly congratulating Jiang Jiang for winning the city championship, provincial championship, and national championship in the mathematics competition, there was everything.
The teacher found it funny to see Jiang Jiang covering his face: "You have brought honor to the school, so why should you be embarrassed? In addition to these, the school will also give you substantial rewards!"
Jiang Jiang could probably guess what the actual reward was.
After returning to the dormitory and taking a nap, Jiang's father called and said he was at the school gate and asked Jiang Jiang to come out.
The school was still in session, but Jiang Jiang was given a holiday. She only had these two days to rest, and in two days, she would go abroad again.
When they got home, Jiang's father and mother were naturally delighted. Their daughter had brought them honor and was going to compete abroad, so how could they not be happy?
After a good celebration, Jiang Jiang returned to her room to rest. Although she had not thought about changing rooms, her father and mother still moved her bed to the side, which was the room where Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang slept before.
Jiang Jiang was a little uncomfortable, but knowing that it was out of kindness from Jiang's father and mother, he didn't say anything.
After waking up the next day, Jiang Jiang called Sudan.
Sudan had previously told Jiang Jiang to call her before going abroad to confirm their itinerary and see if she could take Jiang Jiang abroad to play.
"I'm sorry Jiang Jiang, the competition is about to start. I've been training recently, so I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise."
Sultan said apologetically on the phone.
The program she participated in was a girl group audition, which required contestants to be able to sing and dance. Although she had some basic skills, she had lost them for a long time, so she has been practicing recently, trying to pick up the talents she had learned before.
Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "Nothing, how's your training going recently?"
The Sudanese on the other end of the phone sighed, "It's OK, but I heard that there are many strong players participating in the competition, so I'm still a little nervous. I have been practicing intensively recently. I hope that cramming can help."
It was the first time that Jiang Jiang heard Sudan speak in such an unconfident tone, so she quickly comforted her: "Sister Sudan, you are also great, and you promised us that you would win first place, so why are you so depressed now?"
Sudan was immediately amused: "Okay, okay, I can take first place, or last place, is that ok?"
"No, that won't work. If you come in last, I'll bring Ou Ni to participate next year. I want to see what kind of shady show this is."
The Sultan on the other end of the phone immediately burst into laughter again.
The two talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jiang's expression did not look as relaxed as when he was talking to Sudan just now.
The host of the new system will also participate in this competition, and Jiang Jiang is not sure whether this host will cause trouble.
According to the system, the new system is not the same as it, it is peaceful and non-aggressive.
Jiang Jiang was worried that the system would harm the Sudan who was competing with him.
After staying at home for a day, Jiang Jiang left again with his suitcase the next day.
Jiang's father sent Jiang Jiang to the station. She would first go to the capital to meet up with other contestants, and then take a plane to go abroad together.
This was Jiang Jiang’s first time on a plane. She was a little curious at first and lay by the window looking out for a long time.
But the flight time was too long, and Jiang Jiang fell asleep after the novelty wore off.
In the dream, the system teacher appeared again and continued to teach Jiang Jiang.
If it were a while ago, Jiang Jiang probably wouldn't even understand what the system teacher said, but now, not only can she understand, but she can also compete with players from other countries.
When Jiang Jiang has free time, he thinks about the past and always feels like he is dreaming.
Since getting off the plane, Jiang Jiang has experienced the exotic customs. Some of the fellow athletes have been abroad and are not very curious about it, while others have never been there and are looking around.
Song Huien followed closely along the bank of the Jiang River, looking around with her eyes, and it was obvious that she was the latter.
"Their eyes are so beautiful, like gems! Their hair is so thick, dense and smooth." Song Huien sighed in Jiang Jiang's ear, and then she touched her hair, "I wish I had that much hair."
Song Huien doesn't have much hair to begin with, and doing homework is very stressful. She also often stays up late, so she loses a lot of hair. Now she only has a thin layer of hair on her head.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiang glanced at Song Huien's head, and then couldn't help but touch it.
Song Huien glared at her immediately and said, "If you touch me again, I'll really go bald."
Despite saying this, she did not take Jiang Jiang's hand away from her head.
"Eat more and stay up less late, and it will grow out."
Song Huien sighed and nodded: "After the competition, I went to bed early every day!"
Jiang Jiang and his group got on the bus that was specially sent to pick them up, only to find that there were other people on the bus.
The guide who had just come to pick us up immediately introduced that this was a player from Country K, and because their flights were close in time, they were picked up together.
After getting on the bus, Jiang Jiang and his group greeted the players from Country K politely. The players from Country K were very polite and stood up to bow and shake hands with Jiang Jiang and his group.
Seeing the friendly attitude of the two countries, the guide smiled easily. Sometimes, it is very easy for the players from the two countries to have a gap, and once a gap occurs, the guides are in trouble.
The two countries sat down separately. Since they had the same skin, no one was curious about each other.
Besides, after sitting on the plane for a long time, everyone was a little tired and had no energy to talk.
However, after sitting down, Song Huien still whispered to Jiang Jiang: "The boy sitting in the corner of the last row was the second place in the international competition last year. He is very strong."
Jiang Jiang didn't pay much attention to the contestants in last year's competition, but he had a general impression in his mind.
The car quickly arrived at the hotel and the guide led everyone out of the car.
Probably as Song Huien mentioned earlier, when Jiang Jiang got off the bus, he glanced towards the last row, quickly glanced at the second place winner of the previous session, and then got off the bus with everyone else.
Jiang Jiang didn't know that after she got off the car, several people from Country K in the car started talking.
"That beautiful girl just turned around and looked at us!"
"She's not looking at you, why are you so happy?"
"She is so beautiful. Such a beautiful person has such a high IQ. It is really a masterpiece of God!"
"Li Hezai, she was looking at you just now, right? How do you feel when such a beautiful girl looks at you?"
Li Hezai is the boy sitting in the last row, and he was the second place in the previous session.
When Li He heard someone say that, he turned around and rolled his eyes at that person, "China is really getting worse and worse. This year they actually sent a girl who only has good looks but no brains. I really don't know what you are so happy about. Are you happy that your opponents are weak?"
When the others heard what he said, they looked at each other and immediately stopped talking.
Someone was uncomfortable with what Lee Hyuk-jae said and retorted, "Why do you say that about others? How do you know they are stupid? You are being sexist."
Li He turned around and raised his mouth with a mocking smile. "Gender discrimination? I'm just stating the facts. Girls are not worthy of standing on the field of math competitions. They should do what they are good at, such as staying at home and doing housework."
The person who had just refuted the argument did not expect Lee Hyuk-jae to say such a thing, and was so angry that he said, "Don't think that you can discriminate against girls just because you came in second last year! People like you who are sexist are not worthy of standing in the math competition!"
Li Hezai smiled and said, "Even if I didn't win the prize last year, I would still say this. Girls should stay at home. Besides, I'm not worthy of standing on the field of math competition. Are you worthy?"
Seeing his colleague's popularity plummet, Li Hezai said nothing more and turned away.
A group of people were left looking at each other, too angry to speak.
Usually, Lee Hyuk Jae is quite arrogant, but it is normal for him to have a temper since he is a skilled person. But no one would have thought that Lee Hyuk Jae would still be sexist. In this day and age, sexism still exists!
Jiang Jiang and his group were taken to the hotel to check in. They heard the people from country K quarreling in the back and they turned back to look.
"Did they have a quarrel?"
"No way? That's how people from Country K talk. I guess they are discussing something, right?"
"Are they discussing the questions? They are discussing the questions right after they got off the plane? They are in great spirits."
While Jiang Jiang and his group were waiting to check in, a group of people from Country K also caught up with them.
They were all young and energetic. Besides, they all had good command of English and dared to communicate. So a boy in Jiang Jiang's group spoke to one of the people from country K.
"Were you discussing the topic just now?"
The boy's question immediately made the group from Country K feel a little embarrassed.
The boy from country K touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "No, we were talking about something else."
The Chinese boy nodded and smiled, "We thought you were discussing the topic and said you were in great spirits. We were so tired that we couldn't even speak."
The Chinese boy's exaggerated statement made the people from Country K laugh. "Of course we are tired too. If there were a bed here right now, we could lie down on it and fall asleep right away."
This exaggerated little conversation immediately made the two sides familiar with each other.
However, Li Hezai, who was standing next to them, showed a sarcastic smile while watching everyone's friendly conversation.
Soon, Jiang Jiang and his group completed the check-in procedures. They said goodbye to the athletes from Country K and went upstairs to rest.
Anyway, there is still a lot of time. They will stay here for two weeks and have some exchanges.
The rooms were arranged in pairs, so Jiang Jiang naturally lived with Song Huien.
This time there are more girls from their country. There are four girls among the players. The four girls have good relationships, so it is convenient for them to do anything.
At night, Jiang Jiang slept well again and woke up with the sun the next day without having to adjust to any jet lag.
Song Huien, who stayed up all night, was extremely envious of this. She also tried to sleep last night, but couldn't fall asleep.
She already had an uncoordinated schedule, and with the jet lag, her biological clock was even more disrupted.
When the two went downstairs to eat, Song Huien still had two big dark circles under her eyes and she was unsteady when she walked.
Compared to her, Jiang Jiang is in such a good condition, with good sleep quality and great spirits, which makes Song Huien very jealous. Song Huien finally understands why Jiang Jiang does not lose his hair while she does even though they both stay up late to study.
Breakfast was a buffet. When Jiang Jiang and Song Huien went downstairs, there were already quite a few people inside, including many high school students. It was obvious that they were here for the competition just like Jiang Jiang and his friends.
Jiang Jiang also saw a few people from Country K whom he met in the car yesterday. Because they had communicated with each other yesterday, those people from Country K even greeted Jiang Jiang and his companions specially.
After the two of them sat down, Song Huien was still sighing: "People from country K are so polite. They speak respectfully, which makes me a little uncomfortable."
After the two finished their meal, Song Huien went upstairs to catch up on her sleep, while Jiang Jiang went out for a walk to digest the food. She also took a lot of photos and sent them to Jiang's father and mother.
The two had never been abroad before, so when Jiang Jiang came out, they specifically asked him to take more photos for them.
Jiang Jiang didn't walk far before going back.
The exam is in a week, so they still need to do their homework and study hard during this week.
On the way back, Jiang Jiang met the boy from Country K who got second place last year. The boy also happened to see Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang raised the corner of his mouth, smiled at him, and nodded as a greeting.
But the boy's attitude was unpleasant. He pulled up one corner of his mouth and revealed a mocking smile.
Jiang Jiang saw contempt in his eyes.
Jiang Jiang immediately looked away. She should go back and wash her eyes right away.
We all stayed in the same hotel and usually had meals together, so there were many opportunities to run into each other.
Even though Jiang Jiang didn't want to pay too much attention to Li Hezai from Country K, Li Hezai was always attracting the attention of Jiang Jiang and his group with his actions and expressions.
During lunch, a girl finally pointed it out. Girls are more meticulous and observant, and since Lee Hyuk-jae is pretty famous, everyone pays a lot of attention to him.
"Does he hate us? Every time he sees us, he looks like he's about to laugh but not smile. Once he even rolled his eyes at me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiang looked at Li Hek Jae, and Li Hek Jae was also looking at her. Immediately, she saw a familiar action and expression.
It just so happened that Jiang Jiang and his group were all looking at him, and when they saw his look, someone immediately exploded.
Danyan was the most irritable among the four girls in Jiang Jiang's group. She simply threw her chopsticks on the table, making a clacking sound.
The restaurant was not noisy, and Danyan's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The girl next to Danyan tried to grab her, but Danyan pushed her away.
"What do you mean? Do you have hemorrhoids in your eyes? Can't you just look at people properly?"
Danyan finished speaking in Chinese and also thoughtfully translated it into English so that Li Hezai could understand.
When Li He heard this, his face immediately turned ugly. He threw his chopsticks hard on the table, then stood up with his hands on the table.
"Math competitions are not for girls. If you dare to come, you should also be willing to accept strange looks."
After hearing this, Danyan wanted to roll up her sleeves and beat Li He up, but fortunately Jiang Jiang stopped her in time.
Fighting is prohibited during the competition. If such a situation occurs, the contestant will be eliminated. They have finally come here after going through so many difficulties. How could Jiang Jiang let Danyan go up and fight with others?
Seeing Danyan getting angry, Li Hezai was not so angry anymore. He clasped his hands over his chest and stood there leisurely, with an expression that seemed to say, "What can you do to me?"
Danyan was so angry that her teeth were grinding.
Jiang Jiang grabbed Danyan and made sure that she couldn't escape before looking at Li Hezai.
Jiang Jiang was not angry, and even smiled at Li He: "This is the first time I heard that there is a distinction between men and women in the competition. If I remember correctly, the first rule of the competition is to respect different races and genders. If you insist on the difference between men and women, I will report it to the jury. I believe that the jury will not want a second or third place winner who does not respect women?"
After saying that, Jiang Jiang looked at Li Hezai quietly, waiting for his reply.
Now, Li He couldn't laugh anymore, because there was indeed such a rule in the competition. And he was not sure if Jiang Jiang really reported it, it would have any negative impact on him.
He nodded, then curled his lips at Jiang Jiang: "Then I want to see what kind of ranking you Chinese will get this time, but don't be like last year, not even making it into the top three. Of course, there are also you four golden flowers, I hope you can get passing scores, and I hope you can be my cheerleaders when I go up to the podium to receive the award."
"You damn cheerleader, if someone like you can get on the award podium, the judges must be blind! I'm going to report you right now!" Danyan cursed in Chinese.
After saying this, she actually planned to report to the jury.
Li He didn't care at all. Danyan could report it, and he could also deny it.
"Jiang Jiang, come with me. You are good at English and can speak. You must come with me!" Danyan grabbed Jiang Jiang's arm and said.
Jiang Jiang naturally agreed, Li Hezai was indeed going too far.
In the end, all ten people from China passed and stood neatly in the judge's office.
After listening to Jiang Jiang's words, the judges nodded in understanding and said, "Don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. If he really made remarks that disrespect gender, we will punish him."
Jiang Jiang and his group finally felt relieved, especially Dan Yan. "It's better to just let him withdraw from the competition! This is simply too much. Anybody can come to the international competition. And such a person actually won the second place last year!"
As she spoke, Danyan began to get angry again, so Jiang Jiang quickly changed the subject and didn't let her go on.
The news that Li He was criticized by name soon spread throughout the competition circle. When Dan Yan heard about it, she immediately scolded him and said he deserved it.
Although she was disappointed that Lee Hyuk Jae didn't withdraw from the competition, she was still happy that Lee Hyuk Jae had lost face in front of everyone.
In the past two days, no one even saw Li Hezai coming to the restaurant to eat. Danyan guessed behind his back that Li Hezai must have been eating kimchi every day in the past two days.
A week passed quickly. The first week was for players from various countries to communicate and adjust to the time difference.
The competition officially started in the second week.
The competition is in the form of a written test that takes several days to examine students' abilities in all aspects, and finally the best performers are selected based on a comprehensive evaluation.
On the day of the exam, Jiang Jiang and his team all wore the special school uniforms made for the national team members. They were formal, had national characteristics, and looked particularly energetic.
Jiang Jiang and his group walked on the road, attracting a lot of people's attention, especially Jiang Jiang who was walking in front. She was tall, had long legs, and was beautiful, which made many people look at her frequently.
Song Huien couldn't help but envy her: "Brother Jiang, it would be great if you could cut off half of your legs for me. Oh, not half, a quarter, or a fifth will do, your legs are too long."
Danyan was not convinced. She stretched out her legs and said, "Aren't my legs long? Why didn't you ask me?"
Song Huien hesitated to speak. Danyan was also tall, and her legs were not short, but her proportions were not as good as Jiang Jiang's, and her legs were a bit thick, so they didn't look very long.
Jiang Jiang simply hugged the two of them and said, "You two are about to take the exam, aren't you nervous? Look at them."
A team of foreign players happened to pass by. They were looking at information while walking, showing their diligence to the extreme.
Danyan stretched out her index finger and shook it: "We have learned everything we need to learn. Now it is just a review, which is useless. Besides, we have you anyway. Our country will definitely win a prize this year."
Danyan participated in the previous session. The teacher there did not have high expectations for them, just wanting them to take home a prize. But unfortunately, they failed last year.
But this year, Jiang Jiang is here, so she is sure to win the prize. She has participated in the competition for many years, and she has never seen anyone get a perfect score! Jiang Jiang is the first!
Moreover, she believed that with Jiang Jiang's ability, it would be more than just winning the award.
Although she did not agree with Danyan's statement, Jiang Jiang did not refute it. No matter what, she would do her best!
The competition was held at a famous local university. Sitting in the same classroom with people with different skin colors was a novel experience for Jiang Jiang.
When Jiang Jiang and his group came in, they naturally attracted a lot of people's attention, especially Jiang Jiang who was at the front. No matter whether they were men or women, they couldn't help but take a look.
They are wearing the same clothes, but Jiang Jiang is much more eye-catching than others.
Seeing this, Li He couldn't help but sneer. China would also be like this to curry favor with the public.
However, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he dared not say it out loud, as he still remembered clearly the last time he was called in for a reprimand.
But it doesn't matter, he will use his strength to prove that Country K is better than China! Girls will never be as good as boys. He was already waiting for the award. He stood on the podium and looked at the Chinese people in the audience. He expected the Chinese people to look disappointed and envious!
Maybe Li Hezai's gaze was too strong, Jiang Jiang felt it. She looked in the direction of his gaze and saw Li Hezai looking tall and proud.
Jiang Jiang couldn't help but smile at him, then opened his mouth and slowly read to Li He.
"stupid."
Big idiot.
