"Do they even deserve to attempt these three questions? This is the difference between a genius like me and experts like you."
"Go for it, boss! You can do it!"
"Don't bother me! You all step aside and give me the draft paper."
"Boss, here you go."
"How's it going, Xinghe? Do you have any ideas?" Qin Xueying walked over and asked Wang Xinghe as he silently stared at the problem.
"Sister Xueying, there's something I need to think about."
"Don't worry, let's think together. You can share any ideas with Xinghe and brainstorm together."
For the last three questions, they no longer followed the previous groupings. Instead, everyone tried to come up with a solution, and once they did, they worked together to solve it.
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, only forty minutes remained until the end of the match.
"Sigh, it seems neither side can solve these three questions."
"Even if you bring in a mathematician, they couldn't possibly solve these three problems so quickly. However, whoever solves one of them should ask questions."
"This is too difficult, there are only 35 minutes left."
"Wait! Look at the big screen, the words on it seem to have changed!"
"It has indeed changed! It has indeed changed! It says 'Under Inspection' on the label."
"Under testing? So, is it the Chinese team or the Eagle team?"
"I don't know, let's wait for the result. It shouldn't be that they solved this kind of problem in less than half an hour?"
Meanwhile, at the Chinese delegation's station, Qin Xueying submitted her results and looked at Wang Xinghe: "Xinghe, you're amazing! Now, next question!"
"Okay, thanks to everyone, let's move on to the next question."
Meanwhile, on the Eagles' side, the same people were all flattering Karen.
"Boss, you're amazing! You really are a math prodigy!"
"Yes, I couldn't have come up with this solution at all."
"Nonsense! Who is our leader? He's the most outstanding young mathematician in the field. How can they compare?"
"This is getting a bit more challenging. Next question."
"Wait a minute! Boss, it seems we've been overtaken!"
"What?! This is impossible!"
"Look at the big screen! The Chinese team did it too! How could they possibly have done it?"
"Impossible, how could they possibly surpass us?"
"They were 61 seconds faster than us, and now they've overtaken us by one second."
"Impossible! They couldn't possibly solve it. Don't bother me, give me the second question!"
"Yes, boss!"
Karen's heart, which had just settled down, was completely thrown into turmoil. She couldn't believe that the Chinese team had actually pulled it off.
"We've overtaken the Eagles!"
"Yeah, but Karen is amazing, she actually solved this problem too."
“Look over there, Karen is doing it all by herself.”
"There's strength in numbers. The second to last question is coming up. Let's continue. It looks like we might have to decide the outcome with these last two questions."
Wang Xinghe was frighteningly calm at this moment, having already entered problem-solving mode; overtaking him in the rankings had no effect on him.
Wang Xinghe seemed to have entered a state of complete absorption, with only the math problem in his eyes. This kind of high-difficulty math problem made him feel excited.
"Holy crap! The Chinese team pulled off a comeback?"
"How is this possible? Who on the Chinese team is this? I've never heard of them before. Someone solved this problem 61 seconds faster than Karen?"
"Yeah, this competition was amazing! Is a record going to be broken?"
"It's very possible. There's still time. Maybe this question will decide the outcome."
"So do you think they can solve it?"
"The initiative is now in China's hands. It's a complete reversal, so exciting!"
"Wow, Brother Wang is amazing! He actually solved the eighth problem."
"Captain Li, is the Brother Wang you mentioned the most handsome guy on the Chinese team?"
"What? You've got your eye on someone?"
"He's so handsome, Captain Li, could you introduce him to someone?"
"Forget it, he already has a girlfriend."
"You already have a girlfriend? That's such a pity. Look at all the girls in China, they're going crazy. Several female students have sent me private messages asking me to add this guy's contact information."
"Captain Li, what's the handsome guy's name?"
"You guys don't even know their names, yet you keep saying you like them all the time," Li Jiaming said with his hands behind his back, sounding old-fashioned.
"Captain Li, please tell us."
"Yes, Captain Li, can you tell us his name?"
"Ah, back then, Xinghe and I met that morning. It was a beautiful day, the sun was just rising, and we met in that beautiful park..."
"Stop, stop, stop, Captain Li, you can stop now. We know his name."
"Yes, we already know his name, so you don't need to say it anymore. His name is Wang Xinghe, which sounds nice. You can tell he's a handsome guy just from his name."
"Yes, Galaxy! What a dreamy name."
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are doing this on purpose, aren't you? I haven't finished speaking yet, let me finish!"
The rankings of the South Island team are basically set. They knew they couldn't solve the last three questions, so they gave up and started chatting to relax. They had been on tenterhooks for the past seven days of the competition, and finally they could breathe a sigh of relief.
As expected, the South Island team finished sixth, their best result ever. The team members were overjoyed; they had made history and would surely receive a warm welcome back home.
"Five minutes left, it looks like the rankings should be close."
"Yes, but seeing that both teams are still working hard, could it be that there's a surprise in the last five minutes?"
Time ticked by, and Wang Xinghe frantically wrote down the steps on the paper. He had started writing ten minutes earlier. No one approached him or disturbed him, afraid of interrupting his train of thought.
A drop of sweat dripped from Wang Xinghe's forehead.
"Captain Qin, there are only a few minutes left."
"Three minutes left."
"That's enough! Trust me."
As time ticked by, Karen gripped the pen in her hand so tightly it felt like she was about to break it.
"No, that's not it! Wrong! That's not how it's written! How is it solved?! You bunch of useless people! You can't help me at all!"
No one dared to look up as Karen berated them.
"We're just one second behind them now. If I had participated a couple of days ago, I would have already won the game! You guys are useless. I spent half a year selecting players, and you're the only ones I chose?"
"Boss, we're sorry, it's our fault for being useless."
"Fine, fine, get out of here after the match!"
