On the other side, Song Chu and the other five were making preparations backstage.

This international competition was held in Kyoto. There were so many people coming to watch that all the seats in the venue were filled.

The judges are several experts in the field invited by international magazines, and they are also the ones who hosted this international competition.

No one from the Song family went to work or opened the shop today. They all came to watch.

Song Chu had tickets in his hands, and he gave them not only to people in the Song family, but also to friends he knew well.

Not only the Song family came, but also the old man and father Gu of the Gu family came, as well as some people from the side branches of the Gu family.

Everyone expressed their support for Song Chu and Gu Yue's participation in this international competition.

Backstage, Song Chu and Gu Yue were chatting leisurely and relaxed. Although the other three were also talking to them, they could be seen to be very nervous.

"Student Song, student Gu, aren't you nervous?" Zhou Weidong from Huazhong University asked the two of them.

His palms were full of sweat and his feet even felt a little weak, but the two men didn't look nervous at all.

Song Chu smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? Just treat it as a simple competition."

She has participated in so many international competitions that she doesn't feel nervous at all.

Gu Yue's personality is calm and confident, and he also doesn't feel nervous. "After I get on stage, I will devote myself to the competition and don't think about the result."

Shen Juan from Beijing University didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We thought so too, but we just couldn't help being nervous."

I really envy the leisurely attitude and mentality of these two people, but it is very difficult for them to do so.

“With so many people watching us and it being broadcast on TV news, what if we mess up?” asked Chen Yongqiang from Shangdan University.

They are nervous not only because they are taking part in the competition, but also because they are afraid of being outdone and then being embarrassed.

This competition is held in their place. If they can't even make it into the first two rounds, they will be too ashamed to face anyone.

But the dozen or so colleges and universities that came this time are all very strong, and some of the students are already very famous. They feel that it will be difficult to pass the first hurdle.

Song Chu knew their mentality and comforted them: "As long as you use your strength, you won't mess it up. The more you think about it now, the more nervous you will be."

"Besides, even if you mess up, we still have Gu Yue and I, it's okay." She added confidently.

Chen Yongqiang and the other two: "..." They found that Song Chu was really too generous.

But she and Gu Yue were said to be very good, and they were considered the finale, so they should be reliable, right? "Then the key is to rely on you two. We should try our best to show our true level." The three of them had no confidence that they could make it to the end.

Gu Yue said calmly: "You guys try your best. It would be even better if you can perform beyond your normal level."

In fact, as long as they don't hold back, he has confidence in himself and Song Xiaochu.

While they were talking, two hosts walked out from the platform in front, marking the official start of the international competition.

One person spoke in Chinese and the other in English. They first expressed their gratitude and then asked a referee to announce the rules.

"There are a total of 18 teams in this international competition, which is divided into nine rounds and held over three days."

"On the first day, six teams were eliminated in three rounds, and the remaining twelve teams entered the next round."

"On the second day, three teams were eliminated in three rounds, and the remaining nine entered the next round."

"On the third day, two teams were eliminated in each of the first two rounds, and the remaining five teams competed for the top three places in the third round."

"The competition events will be different each day, and the rules of the competition will be announced at that time."

"Now please invite the eighteen teams to enter and then we will begin the first round of today's competition." He announced to the venue.

The people sitting around applauded and looked at the entrance of the venue excitedly.

Many people from foreign countries also came to watch the game, and the recorded video tapes will be brought back for broadcast.

As the host, their team was the last to appear, wearing uniform sportswear.

There was applause for the first seventeen teams when they came out, and the applause was even louder when Song Chu and her team came out.

Song Chu and Gu Yue's appearance and temperament are particularly outstanding among all the contestants. They also look particularly confident and dazzling.

They sat down in the seats representing their side and the host announced the start of the show.

There were five referees at a time, and one of them, a middle-aged man, stood up and announced the rules for the first round.

In this round, every member of each team will participate in the competition. There will be a number plate in front of each person's table, and the shuffled numbers must be restored to order when the time comes.

The time of each team of five people is added up and then rewarded in the form of points. The team with the shortest time can get 18 points, and the team with the longest time can get 1 point.

After three rounds of matches, the top twelve teams in points will enter tomorrow's competition.

Soon, the organizer had someone put a number plate in front of each contestant.

Song Chu's lips curled up slightly. This was too easy for her. In fact, it was just the Digital Huarong Road. She had even set a record for it.

Gu Yue smiled when he saw the digital dial. He and Song Xiaochu had played with it before and were quite familiar with it.

The other three were more nervous. They were thinking about how to restore the number disk, but the more they thought about it, the more nervous they became.

Teams participating in the competition can discuss strategies with each other, but Song Chu could tell from the looks of them that they had never played this game before.

So he whispered a few tips to them. They were stunned at first, looking thoughtful, and then their eyes lit up with joy.

If the methods and tricks Song Chu taught them were useful, they could save a lot of time.

Other teams were also discussing methods, which was allowed by the organizer, who also deliberately gave everyone five minutes to prepare and to try it out first.

After discussing the methods and tricks, everyone started moving their hands on the digital dials in front of them, except Song Chu and Gu Yue.

This made both the players and spectators speechless. What are you two doing?

It’s too much that you don’t even try, right?

Especially the people watching, they were all extremely nervous. Were Song Chu and Gu Yue too overconfident? If they lost, it would not be just their own face that would be lost.

Many people started talking about it and expressed their disapproval of the two people's behavior.

Song Chu and Gu Yue didn't care. They didn't try because they didn't want their opponents to know their speed.

Soon, when the five minutes were up, the host asked everyone to stop, and then asked the assistant referee to come out and stand next to each team.

Those who have finished will report it and they will time it and check whether it is correct.

A referee announced the start.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to take action.

"I'm done!" Soon, Song Chu's voice rang out.

Just a few seconds after her voice fell, Gu Yue also stopped what he was doing, "I'm done!"

Then the other students participating in the competition couldn't help but look up at them.

Were these two people kidding them? It had only been a short while, they had only started to dial a few numbers, and they had already completed it. Was this true?

Today's update is finished. Thank you for your tips and votes. I have a lot of things to do and socialize back home, so I took the time to write these two chapters. Now I have a dinner party and no time to write. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, muah~~ (Tomorrow's update time will be around 19:00)
