Chen Ru looked at Yu Qi blankly, "Team leader, am I hallucinating?" Otherwise, how could he hear the name of the Chinese team?
"Me too, there might be something wrong with my ears." Mu Qiu also had a dull expression.
Although they were not good at English, they could still understand the words "China" and "champion". But it was precisely because they understood it that they could not believe it.
Li Siyuan and Chen Zheyu also looked confused and incredulous.
Several people stood there like wooden stakes, without any movement for a long time. Everything around them seemed to have turned black and white. Their eyes were dull and they were unable to react.
Su Qingyun finally smiled, "Why don't you want to believe it? We really won the championship."
She had already calculated that, except for the last question in the written test, everyone had basically answered the previous questions correctly. They also performed well in the free expression part, so their scores would not be too bad. All in all, they had a chance of winning the championship.
Sure enough, she was right.
Yu Qi nodded blankly, "We are the champions, we are the champions..."
He kept repeating this sentence, not only for others but also for himself.
Yu Qi couldn't believe that the ups and downs, surprises and joys of life would come so quickly. Just a minute ago, they felt lost, but now they heard the news that they had won the championship.
Stevens looked at everyone who was stunned. He had anticipated their reaction. To be honest, when the final comprehensive results came out, they themselves couldn't believe it. They repeated the calculations several times before finally confirming that, yes, the team champion of this mathematics competition was the Chinese team!
He began to announce the results of the Chinese team members one by one. "Mu Qiu, member number 5 of the Chinese team, scored 175 points on the written test, 85 points on the free speech, and a total score of 260 points. Li Siyuan, member number 4 of the Chinese team, scored 186 points on the written test, 85 points on the free speech, and a total score of 271 points..."
Everyone frowned in surprise. The results of Team A and Team D were both announced from the first player onwards, but why were the results of Team China announced from the last player onwards?
"Chen Ru, the third member of the Chinese team, scored 170 points on the written test, 90 points on the free speech, and a total score of 260 points. Chen Zheyu, the second member of the Chinese team, scored 180 points on the written test, 87 points on the free speech, and a total score of 267 points."
Mr. Stevens stopped reading here. Currently, only the result of Su Qingyun, the last No. 1 player of the Chinese team, has not been announced.
The whole audience was silent because they had discovered that although the scores of the other members of the Chinese team were not good enough to win individual awards, the gap between them and the top few was not that big, and their scores were very average, with no one lagging behind, so the overall overall score was improved.
What's more, there is Su Qingyun whose results have not been announced yet. You know, her written test score was full marks. If her free expression score was good, it would make sense for the Chinese team to win the championship.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Stevens finally announced Su Qingyun's results.
"China's team's number one player, Su Qingyun, scored 200 points on the written test, 100 points on the free speech test, and a total score of 300 points!"
"She won full marks in both competitions of this mathematics competition. Please join me in giving her the warmest applause!" Stevens' face was excited, and he almost shouted these words at the end.
The whole audience was in an uproar!
"Written test score: 200 points, free expression score: 100 points, total score: 300 points! Is this really a score a normal human can get?"
"My God, this oriental girl solved the hardest question in the written test, picked the Riemann hypothesis in the free explanation section, and still got full marks. What kind of freak is she?"
"Her performance alone can significantly improve the performance of the entire team. How can we compare?"
"Who on earth said that Chinese people are bad at math? Who on earth said that China has no mathematical talent? Isn't this right?"
"Is the gap between people really that big? She's only 17 years old!"
"Now I just want to know, what exactly did she say about the Riemann Hypothesis during her free speech that earned her a perfect score from the judging panel?"
"Team D really lost, miserably. I wonder if Christian regrets making the bet with her now?"
"He must have regretted it. I saw Christian's face, he almost fainted. It was so tragic. No one expected that he would directly catch the biggest dark horse of this competition with this bet. No wonder people dared to bet with him. He must have that kind of confidence."
"If I were Christian, I'd want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into right now."
"The Chinese are so terrifying! Their hidden strength is simply unimaginable. We should face them squarely, otherwise, we will only be left behind by them."
Amidst the noisy discussions, Stevens looked at the stunned Chinese team with a kind smile and said, "Please invite all the players of the champion Chinese team to come up to the stage to receive their awards!"
Su Qingyun stood up first, Chen Zheyu was the second, and Li Siyuan was the third...
"Go," Yu Qi said softly, his voice choked with sobs, "Go and embrace the glory that belongs to you."
The five of them walked slowly, step by step, toward the stage. Each step was more determined and powerful than the one before, until the wind was so strong under their feet that they felt like they were about to fly.
Finally, the five members of the Chinese team stood on the podium they had dreamed of, smiling brightly and accepting everyone's attention.
Christian turned his head and looked at Su Qingyun, who was only two meters away from him, his face pale. At this time, he finally had to admit that he was not as good as her, and their Country D team was not as good as the Country China team.
He was the loser, and Christian finally believed this fact.
Stevens presented the team award certificate and bonus check. Chen Zheyu and others' hands were shaking when they took them.
"Let's give them the warmest applause!" Mr. Stevens led the applause after he finished presenting the awards.
The audience burst into applause.
Chen Zheyu and the others were immersed in excitement, with only the award certificate in their eyes. Only Su Qingyun glanced at the check and the smile on her lips widened. The amount was not bad, and she was very satisfied. This kind of competition really made money.
The next step was to give acceptance speeches, starting with the third-place team, Country A. Team A was in a bad mood and only spoke a few words in a hurry.
Then there is the runner-up team D, and the spokesperson designated by team D is Christian.
Christian was silent for a moment, and only said one sentence, "Thank you everyone, we will continue to work hard."
Next time, next time he will definitely not miss the championship again.
