Chapter 226 The Competition Begins



Galaxy and Porter Marcus meet by chance.

Porter Marcus gave Xinghe a deep look, and for the first time did not provoke her, but instead turned his body slightly to the side.

Something unusual must be going on.

Xinghe also knew that Potter had been warned. Potter was a man of some mind, but not much; he wore his heart on his sleeve.

After being warned, she saw that Xinghe was more resentful than anything else.

It's almost as if they've tattooed a few big words on his face, telling Xinghe to wait.

But today, besides his resentment, there was also a hint of smug satisfaction in his eyes, as if he were watching a good show.

What kind of evil has he done this time?

Foreigners' facial features differ from those of Chinese people. When Xinghe's method was tested on them, it was only about 60% accurate.

When she has free time, she should study their facial features in detail, and she should even publish a few books about it in the future!

But no matter what tricks Potter plays, the general principle is to meet force with force and water with water.

The venue for the final was very large.

Tens of thousands of people were seated in a large stadium-like building.

Country A attached great importance to this competition and promoted it for quite some time.

The stage in the middle was also specially renovated this time.

The competition has been popular abroad for a long time; people enjoy watching these highly intelligent individuals compete.

Because of their consecutive losses, the Dragon Kingdom was not particularly enthusiastic about this competition; only mathematics students and professors were paying attention.

This time, their plan was also to make a big fuss about Xinghe's good results.

In contrast, contestants from other countries come with a large number of cheerleaders.

Xinghe was still backstage when he heard the cheers of the contestants who came out earlier getting louder and louder.

Screams and whistles filled the air.

Xinghe has never participated in such an international competition, so he doesn't know whether this is normal or not.

She thought these kinds of competitions involved sending contestants to the same place and having them compete and score each other like in an exam.

Chai Yonghui ranked sixteenth in the preliminary round, and Guan Leyao ranked thirtieth.

They just barely made it to the finals.

Guan Leyao pulled Xinghe and chattered, "Fairy, you're amazing! You predicted two of the big questions for me. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have made it to the finals on the last day."

Guan Leyao's grades are considered quite good in China, but she is facing a genius who stands out from billions of people in the world.

Long ago, China had many mathematical geniuses, but a large number of them were poached, resulting in a serious talent gap and leading to the current situation.

Guan Leyao's ranking had been hovering around 30 for the past few days. The top 30 made it to the finals, and she hadn't slept well for several nights.

After Xinghe found out about this, he helped her with the practice questions, and Guan Leyao worked on them all night.

Guan Leyao is already very satisfied to have come this far; she came to the finals to broaden her horizons.

She seemed to notice Xinghe's confusion and pulled her aside to explain, "The competition has undergone major reforms in recent years, and it has been changed to its current form. It is more entertaining, attracts more viewers, and has higher prize money, which can also attract more high-level talents and make it even better."

"This is a major global event, so it's a virtuous cycle."

Not long after Guan Leyao finished speaking, it was her turn to go on stage. She went out first, and Xinghe heard sparse applause from inside the stadium.

It's an away game after all, there's nothing we can do about it.

Not long after, it was Chai Yonghui's turn. He nodded to Xinghe and left as well.

The accompanying teachers seemed even more nervous than the team members, constantly muttering something.

The last twenty players will be drawn by lot, while the first ten will be drawn in order.

Xinghe ranked first in the preliminary round and was the last to perform.

Zong Yili is studying in country A. Today she came with a friend.

She wasn't interested in such a highly professional competition, but Zong Yili still came at her friend's invitation.

She never expected that a match she considered an underdog would have so many viewers.

"Hey! Li! Cheer up, look how spectacular it is!"

"That's so cool! I got a picture of Prince Potter. He's so handsome, that blond hair is damn charming, he's so smart, and he has such a perfect family background. I heard he's also very approachable."

Zong Yili looked over and saw that the person taking the stage now was the second-place finisher in the preliminaries, a blond boy.

His face and identification information appeared on the big screen.

A large group of his fans at the scene instantly became excited, and the cheers were even louder than before.

Many people also held up support signs.

A girl next to Zong Yili screamed so loudly it almost pierced Zong Yili's eardrums.

"This is insane, Ann. Isn't this a math competition? Why are they acting like fans chasing after celebrities?"

Zong Yili didn't understand and asked in a low voice.

"These people are incredibly talented and will be joining various research institutes in the future. Don't you think it's super cool to see the athletes you follow achieve extraordinary results?"

"The second place in the 20th edition confirmed a great conjecture."

"The group formed by the top few in the 22nd session proposed another piece of evidence to support the Hodge conjecture."

...

Zong Yili didn't understand what Ann was saying, but seeing Ann's bright eyes, it seemed like it was really something remarkable.

"Let's welcome Xinghe, the winner of the first place in the preliminary round of the 24th Global Mathematics Competition!"

Zong Yili's ears twitched, and her attention immediately became focused.

Galaxy?

She knew this name very well; she was a loyal fan of Fairy Maiden's career. Even though Fairy Maiden had been streaming for a long time, they still stayed in the live stream room, hoping that Fairy Maiden would take pity on them and come online to see them.

It must be a coincidence, right?

Zong Yili looked over and saw a figure she knew all too well at the entrance of the passage.

Xinghe, dressed in a simple sweatshirt and trousers, walked out of the passage.

Her proportions are just too good; the way the clothes fit her perfectly makes her look slim-waisted and long-legged.

"Immortal! Galaxy!!!"

Zong Yili suddenly became excited.

Many people from the Dragon Kingdom who knew Xinghe also became excited, their voices no less enthusiastic than those of the earlier fervent fans.

Xinghe heard it too. She didn't expect there to be people here who recognized her. She raised her hand and waved to them.

Zong Yili was almost going crazy with excitement. She grabbed Ann and cried out, "Ahhh, alive! I've finally seen one alive!"

"Good rice, good rice, I like her so much. She came to participate in this competition without telling us, and then she won first place without a word. What other surprises does she have up her sleeve that we don't know about?"

Ann was almost shaken to death. "Li, calm down. Although, this was just the preliminary round. Today is the final."

"I don't care, I don't care, she's the best, with her around, there won't be any accidents!"

Xinghe brought them so many miracles. As long as Xinghe stood there, they would believe in him unconditionally.

Suddenly remembering something, Zong Yili took out her phone and snapped photos. "I'm going to tell everyone in the group to watch the live stream too! This is fresh... Star River."
