Zhou Xiu actually signed up for "Intellectual Confrontation"!
The students in Class 24 were all surprised when they heard this. They must have heard it right. Why would Xiu Shen join in the fun?
Recently everyone has witnessed how hard she is working on her studies. She works so hard that she doesn't even have time to eat. Even her head teacher can't do anything about her.
But she actually has time to participate in "Intellectual Confrontation"?
It’s over, it’s over. The head teacher is going to be pissed to death.
"Intellectual Confrontation" is not a competition of learning, but an examination of comprehensive knowledge. If it comes to comparing academic performance, there is certainly no problem, but when it comes to examining comprehensive knowledge, it seems that the top students don't have any advantage.
Oh, so Xiu Shen said she just wanted to go out for fun... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xu Qing heard Zhou Xiu sign up for the "Intelligence Confrontation" competition, he smiled and said, "Then join in."
“I believe that with Xiu Xiu, this year’s show will be even more exciting.”
Lan Xin clasped her hands together, "Great! Xiuxiu, work hard to get into the semi-finals. If you make it to the semi-finals, I will definitely go to watch the live show!"
After Zhou Xiu filled out the registration form, Xu Qing followed suit.
When the head of the senior year group received these application forms, she wanted to throw them into the trash can. She pushed the application forms of these top senior students to the bottom of the file and pretended she had never seen them.
The grade leader murmured, "Isn't this just nonsense? What a waste of energy. They are already in their third year of high school..."
Miss Li: “…”
She was a little upset after hearing this. Zhou Xiu didn't have time to learn English, but he actually had time to participate in the competition? Miss Li was in a terrible state.
Lao Wang calmly brewed his wolfberry tea, "Team Leader, you are wrong. How can this be a waste of energy? Good students are not made by studying hard. Reviewing for an extra day or two won't make them the top scorer. Let them have some fun."
The head teacher of Class 23 nodded and said to Miss Li, "I heard that Xie Cheng from the Rocket Class is also going. What if you let them go? The children in your class are so pretty. They will look very energetic when standing on the stage."
As she said this, she gave Miss Li an envious look. If she were the head teacher of Class 24, she would have encouraged the children to sign up long ago.
Miss Li: “…”
No, it's not the same. Zhou Xiu is not as reassuring as Xie Cheng, who even got full marks in English! As for Xu Qing...Xu Qing is not good enough either. His math, physics and chemistry are very poor. The kids in Class 24 must study hard and not waste time!
Other teachers in the office also said: "It won't waste much time, just let them go and have some fun, at most they will be back after the semi-finals."
The city's mock exam is not far away at the end of the semester, but there is no peace of mind. Miss Li feels that her heart has aged several times in an instant.
…
There are several hundred students from the first, second and third grades of high school participating in this program, and Yude will form a team of 6 people to represent the school.
The registration form just closed on Wednesday, and the team selection will begin next Monday.
The students who registered for the competition began to frantically cram for math, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history, geography, physical education, art, economics, film and television... The library's traffic suddenly experienced a small peak, and the number of books borrowed once reached the peak of the whole year.
Huaxu held her face and looked at her deskmate Zhou Xiu. She had been quiet since she filled out the registration form. She was still doing her usual thing, reviewing biology, occasionally studying mathematics, and taking her Buddhist preparation to the extreme.
Yu Qingyan excitedly held a pile of information and said to Zhou Xiu, "Xiu Xiu, come and take a look! I searched the Internet for a question bank from the past five years. Let's cram for it, okay?"
Zhou Xiu was reading Algebraic Topology and doing exercises. After she finished a problem, she looked up and said, "Okay, I'll take a look when I have time."
Yu Qingyan: “…”
She wished she could transform into the Roaring Emperor and wake Zhou Xiu up. Please don't be so honest. You say you are going to give away your life, but are you really going to give away your life?
Yu Qingyan said earnestly, "Xiu Xiu, Xie Shen participated in this competition, as did Yuan Shao, and even Du Shen from the No. 4 Middle School next door. The smartest high school students in the country all participated in this program! You should do your best and show your true abilities to bring honor to Dayu De!"
"Xiu Shen, I seriously remind you that you must not fail to pass the school audition."
Zhou Xiu: “…”
However, Zhou Xiu shrugged and said, "Questions that can be searched on the Internet will definitely not appear again." Then she smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just relax!"
Xu Qing couldn't help but smile as he watched Zhou Xiu obediently flipping through the question bank under Yu Qingyan's supervision.
…
The students who registered on Monday participated in the auditions, including half of the freshmen in the first year of high school. As soon as I finished the test and passed the answer sheet to the computer, the results were quickly sent out. The invigilator smiled and said, "Students who got full marks, please gather in the multimedia classroom next door."
Several selected students surfaced one after another and walked into the multimedia classroom next door.
Qi Yaguang stood up proudly. She saw Zhou Xiu concentrating on doing her homework and had no intention of leaving. She said regretfully, "I'm leaving first."
Qi Yaguang could understand why Zhou Xiu was not shortlisted.
She went to Zhou Xiu's hometown during the summer vacation. After all, she came from a place with such poor educational resources, so she couldn't compare.
The eliminated students ran to the next classroom and saw a student leaning against the glass window, calling out names: "Senior 3, Xie Cheng, Qi Yaguang, Xi Shaoyuan, Xu Qing..."
"Fuck, this year's senior class is so amazing?"
Everyone was shocked. There were already four senior high school students in the six-person school team. Students from other grades noticed this obvious gap. Don’t the seniors in the third year of high school need to review and prepare for the college entrance examination?
Until Lin Zhizhou, a sophomore in high school, walked into the classroom with his transcript. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at least the second-year students' boat didn't capsize...
Just as everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the last person to come in——
In an inconspicuous corner, Zhou Xiu finally finished solving a problem. She closed the exercise book, took the report card and walked to the next classroom.
There are five senior high school students, one sophomore student, and not even a freshman! The first-year high school students gasped and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qi Yaguang was also confused when he saw Zhou Xiu, who had arrived late, in the multimedia classroom.
Xu Qing smiled. He took out his phone and found that Yu Qingyan had been shaking messages asking about Zhou Xiu's situation. "How is it going? Did Xiuxiu pass?"
Xu Qing calmly replied: "Don't worry, it's over."
The team leader was Lao Wang. Lao Wang was appointed as the team leader under pressure from the head of the senior class. At first glance, he found that there were five senior students in this team. Lao Wang's head began to ache slightly.
Except for Xu Qing, the other five were all students in the mathematics class. Old Wang said with a smile, "That's perfect. After I finish telling you about the precautions, you can stay and do your math Olympiad homework."
"I haven't assigned homework for a long time. I recently made a few new papers--"
When Xie Cheng heard Lao Wang's familiar argument, he couldn't help but laugh, while Qi Yaguang was speechless.
Zhou Xiu: “…”
Lao Wang briefly explained the competition system and finally said: "Remember to wear your school uniforms on weekends and arrive on time. Girls can put on some light makeup. Don't feel pressured. Just enter the semi-finals like last year."
The desire to survive made him add: "The competition is not important, studying is the priority. Ahem... Zhou Xiu, you stay for a while, your class teacher has assigned you some weekend homework."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yaguang burst out laughing.
Zhou Xiu: “…”
My English is not good and I feel offended.
…
On the weekend, Zhou Xiu came to the TV station's studio wearing Yude's autumn school uniform. Dozens of teams, large and small, from across the city are about to compete fiercely here.
In the preliminary round, each person will be given an answering machine, which will randomly shuffle a thousand questions and there will be no limit on the number of questions that can be answered within the prescribed twenty minutes. The more questions a team answers correctly, the higher their score will be.
One point is added for a correct answer and one point is deducted for an incorrect answer. If you answer more than 10 questions correctly in a row, you will enjoy the reward of equal points for that question. If you answer less than 10 questions correctly, you will not enjoy the reward of equal points.
There were a lot of teams at the preliminary round, with hundreds of people of all sizes, and the schools were sizing each other up.
Zhou Xiu was sitting at her desk, writing her English homework. Xu Qing laughed and asked, "Miss Li gave you a lot of homework?"
Zhou Xiu was wearing Yude's autumn school uniform today. The short skirt revealed a part of her fair calves. The simple outfit made her look particularly pure and beautiful. She buried her head in writing exercises frantically, and when she didn't speak, people would think she was a vase contestant who was cramming for the exam at the last minute.
The contestants from other schools were not surprised because most of the players on the field were like this.
Xi Shaoyuan glanced and saw Xu Qing chatting with Zhou Xiu. Zhou Xiu was holding a pile of information without even raising her head. She was doing... English multiple-choice questions.
Xi Shaoyuan: “…”
Zhou Xiu nodded, put her things in the designated area, found a seat, sat down, and waited for the competition to begin while holding the clicker.
The staff announced the start of the game, and the timer on the big screen in the studio began to scroll quickly...
Zhou Xiu held the timer loosely, her thumb jumping deftly from time to time.
From time to time at the competition site, there were voices coming out one after another: "Ah!" These were the sounds of surprise from people who happened to be answering the right questions.
"Hiss——" This is the sound of someone gasping for air when they encounter a problem.
"Oh..." This is the sound of accidentally answering a question incorrectly.
The reporter was walking around the venue with a microphone and interviewing people. She still remembered Xie Cheng. When the camera passed by the Yude School team, it skipped over the other team members and gave Xie Cheng a five-second close-up.
"Now we can see that the contestants from various schools are racing against time to answer the questions. Let's take a look at Mr. Xie from Yude Middle School last year."
The camera focused on Xie Cheng's answering machine. He answered more than a hundred questions fluently, and his points soared to 10,000. In the end, he stopped at a certain question, and his thumb hesitated slightly...
"Fault!" a voice sounded, and the camera cut to another school team.
In the control room of the TV station, hundreds of data bars climbed up little by little. After a while, one of the data bars climbed up wildly and gradually attracted the attention of the staff.
"Um...what happened to clicker No. 103? Is the data off the charts? Is it broken?"
When other people's stats were 20+ or 30+, it was the only one that soared to 100+.
The other staff members turned to look over, bewildered: "???"
The assistant switched to the data page of answerer No. 103. "Yes, it is normal. Because the points are doubled for consecutive correct answers."
The director took a quick glance and ordered into the intercom: "Camera, tell the reporter to turn the camera to No. 103!"
The camera lens briefly landed on No. 103, swept past, and soon moved to another team.
“Fuck—”
I saw that No. 103 was a girl. She held the answering machine in both hands and answered the questions calmly. She has black hair, black eyes, fair skin and a profile that looks like it's covered by a filter.
Twenty minutes later, the preliminary round ended.
Lin Zhizhou, a sophomore with fair skin and easily shy, sighed as soon as he finished answering the questions and raised his hands to self-report: "I'm sorry, I held everyone back. I got a lot of questions wrong."
"My questions are all competition questions..." He wrinkled his nose.
When it came to the halftime, Lin Zhizhou's mentality collapsed.
Hearing this, Lao Wang spread his hands and said, "Haha, it's okay."
After the competition, Zhou Xiu took out the English test paper and continued writing. Xi Shaoyuan sat next to Zhou Xiu and glanced at her from time to time.
While waiting for the host to announce the results of the competing teams, the contestants from other teams sat in the studio and chatted boredly.
After hearing what Lin Zhizhou said, the contestants from other schools remembered Yude's poor college entrance examination results this year. When they looked at the Yude team again, there was a hint of ridicule in their eyes.
If you don't have the ability, then you don't have the ability, and yet you complain that the questions are unfair? This team is also funny. Are they selecting players just for show or for the two competitions? They found so many vases in one go.
But the big screen shot just now was given to the Yude team so many times. It’s amazing that they are good-looking——
Lao Wang received the sneer from other teachers in charge, and he coughed heavily: "Participation is important, participation is important."
It's just an entertainment show, nothing...
As soon as he finished speaking, the host began to announce the teams that qualified for the semi-finals.
"No. 4 Middle School ranked first with a score of 1123, Yude Middle School ranked second with a total score of 1101, and third..."
Old Wang suddenly raised his head, his brows lit up with joy.
The other members of the Yude team looked at each other in bewilderment. Qi Yaguang looked at Xie Cheng suspiciously and asked, "How many points did Xie Shen get?"
“194.”
Qi Yaguang reported his own score, "My score is 106."
Lin Zhizhou said dejectedly: "Well, I got 62 points."
The others suddenly looked at each other in bewilderment and fell into silence, "???"
The total scores of the three people added up to only 362 points. Did the remaining 700 points come from the wind?
The author has something to say:
Before the game:
Qi Yaguang: Xiuxiu is here to hold us back
Xu Qing: I'm here to get killed
Lao Wang: Are you here to do your English homework?
After the game——
Xiuxiu: Don't look at it, it's not blown by the wind.
be mine.
Everyone:…”
