Chapter 269 A Global Sensation! They've Joined Hands [3 Updates]
At this moment, whether it's students still doing practice problems or teachers and professors recording leaderboard scores, everyone can clearly see the new round of overall rankings.
The first place winner was highlighted in bold and red.
No.1: Username hidden, China, 456 points
No. 2: Amanda, USA, 352 points
The difference between first and second place is a staggering 104 points!
Just ten minutes ago, Amanda was clearly in first place.
It's simply unbelievable.
"Who is this?" The two teachers from Yilan Academy exchanged a look, utterly astonished. "When did this person appear?"
At 11:15, they still hadn't seen any change in the first place.
Even the most talented person couldn't possibly answer so many questions in ten minutes.
"China." A teacher frowned as he looked at the nationality listed in the second line. "All of China's top talents qualify directly for international competitions. Who exactly is this person?"
The username is hidden, indicating that the person answering the question does not want to reveal their real name.
This also made it impossible for them to determine who was in first place.
Just as Zuo Li gave Irna's information to Ying Zijin, the information on Teng Yunmeng, Feng Yue, and several others was also sent to various countries.
“This is very unscientific.” Another teacher frowned. “There’s something strange about this score. Let’s ask the organizing committee what’s going on.”
Although it was already past midnight, the two teachers still sent an inquiry to the professors in country Y.
There is also a training camp in Country Y, which is run by professors from Helga University.
Helga University, ranked second in the world, is much stronger than Beijing University in terms of academic research and international standing.
But in fact, Helga University is certainly worthy of being called the best in the world.
Of course, this is within a normal, ordinary university.
After all, the real majors at Norton University are not for the average person.
Clearly, the professors were also paying attention to this newly emerged number one on the list, and they responded very quickly.
[By clicking on the username, you can see the contestant's answering time and the number of questions answered correctly. We have already checked and found that this contestant started answering questions at 10:30 and finished at 12:00. She did not do the basic questions but answered 114 bonus questions.]
She answered all 114 bonus questions correctly. The last rule in the answering guidelines stated that if a student answered more than 100 bonus questions correctly in a row, their score would be doubled.
However, she answered very quickly, and the professors are still determining whether it's true.
Although they are called bonus questions, they are not necessarily more difficult than the basic questions. They are mainly more obscure and cover a wider range of topics.
One of the bonus questions even asked which spaceship in Simon Brand's manuscript it was.
The bonus questions cover almost every field of knowledge, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
Is it really possible for someone to answer more than a hundred questions correctly in a row?
The two teachers couldn't help but gasp.
This is going to cause an uproar in academia.
**
In the capital city.
Ying Zijin answered 114 questions.
After answering, she didn't even look at the overall rankings. She put her phone back in her pocket and slowly stretched.
Each person gets to do different questions every day, which greatly reduces the possibility of cheating.
Of course, if someone really wants to cheat, it's impossible to completely eradicate it.
However, even if they manage to get into the semi-finals by cheating, they will eventually be eliminated if they don't have real talent.
The bonus questions are 90% multiple choice, so they are indeed very quick to complete.
Coincidentally, a large part of it is her own history.
“An hour and a half.” Fu Yunshen had been waiting for Ying Zijin for just as long as she had been working on the problems. He drawled, “Yaoyao, I never realized you loved studying so much.”
Ying Zijing yawned: "Because money is the primary productive force."
"Alright, you little money-grubber." Fu Yunshen patted her head. "It's too late, go back and rest. I'll go get the car."
Ying Zijing stood there, her brows slightly furrowed: "I think..."
Fu Yunshen turned his head and saw a light pink blush on her cheeks.
Because of the height difference, he bent down slightly: "What do you mean?"
Ying Zijing remained silent: "It seems like I was drinking just now."
After arriving on Earth this time, she drank alcohol once.
She can drink beer and red wine without any problems, but she gets sick from baijiu (Chinese liquor).
She gets drunk after just a few drops of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
This is a genetic issue, unless she undergoes genetic modification surgery.
"You didn't drink." Fu Yunshen thought for a moment. "There must have been alcohol in the dessert we just had, and you didn't taste it?"
Ying Zijing leaned against the lamppost, her phoenix eyes slightly glazed: "There were so many kinds of food, I didn't notice."
She usually eats in a very relaxed manner.
The main thing is that the people around her help her relax.
"Can you still walk?" Fu Yunshen checked her forehead temperature. "Would you carry me on your back?"
"We can still go." Ying Zijing shook her head. "Let's go."
She took a few steps, then stopped.
Fu Yunshen also stopped, and finally simply took the girl's hand.
The two went to the parking lot together.
**
The next morning, at 8 a.m., Weibo exploded.
[Holy crap! Who's been watching all night and our country is already number one, by such a huge margin???]
[Xiang Shun, Xiang Shun is eighth too! Ahhh, did he stay up all night answering questions?]
[And there's more! Number 12 is about to break into the top ten, and soon there will be three Chinese teams in the top ten!]
This got netizens excited, and one after another they started using VPNs to access foreign websites.
They took this freshly released overall ranking and slapped it hard in the face of those who had previously mocked them.
[Stunned now? I told you, the top spot on the overall ranking would change hands within three days, and now not even three days have passed.]
[Wow, how come your region's first place is over a hundred points behind ours? I seriously doubt anyone from your region would even make it to the ISC international finals if the organizing committee hadn't allocated slots? Is that all? Is that all?]
China has nothing but the Chinese spirit. We will never give up. We'll surpass you while you're off guard. Aren't you angry? [Smile]
Chinese netizens have long been veterans of Weibo, developing an iron tongue that can take on ten people at once.
Soon, the sarcastic comments disappeared from several social media forums around the world.
They were just predicting the worst, and then they were proven wrong.
Meanwhile, in the professors' office...
As usual, Zuo Li turned on her computer before starting work and checked the ISC rankings on the official website.
Upon seeing this, he spat out a mouthful of water directly onto the screen.
Even the usually serious Zuo Li swore: "Holy shit!"
His eyes widened in disbelief.
456 points!
Is this even human?!
There are perverts every year, but why are there so many this year?
“Ying, I take back what I said yesterday.” Zuo Li called Ying Zijin over again, his face serious. “Your opponents are not just Irna anymore, there’s also this freak. But you two are from our country, so it doesn’t matter who is first or second.”
Ying Zijin: "..."
She hit herself.
OK, fine.
It's not that it's impossible.
Zuo Li was quite excited: "I thought we already had enough with a monster like you in this competition, but I didn't expect another one to come along. Perfect, now I can rest assured. Even if we don't get first place in the international finals, we can definitely get two of the top three spots."
Then he muttered to himself, "But it's quite strange. Why didn't this student answer the questions for the first two days, but only on the third night?"
Ying Zijing thought for a moment and then considerately replied, "She forgot."
"Nonsense." Zuo Li glared. "How could you forget something so important? But I'm really curious why this student participated. Logically speaking, he should be able to qualify directly for the international competition."
Ying Zijing once again thoughtfully gave her answer: "For money."
Zuo Li rolled her eyes: "Heh, do you think everyone is like you?"
Like him, he doesn't care about money.
Ying Zijin: "..."
These days, nobody believes you if you tell the truth.
"By the way, Ying," Zuo Li added, "besides hair growth shampoo, do you have anything else? It works so well!"
"Yes." Ying Zijing raised an eyebrow. "A whitening and moisturizing face mask? Would you like to use it?"
"Okay, okay, ten boxes, please." Zuo Li asked casually, but he didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. "I'll give them to my wife."
**
The change in rankings caused an uproar on foreign websites and Weibo.
Especially on Weibo, there was a wave of celebration.
In the afternoon, an account on a major global social media platform posted the following message.
[@sunshine: It's impossible to get such a high score in an hour and a half. Even a genius couldn't do it. Who would believe that you didn't exploit a loophole in the quiz app?]
I've already emailed the organizing committee, requesting a thorough investigation. Please wait for the results.
To dare to exploit loopholes in such a rigorous academic competition, it's China that will be the one to lose face. [Smile]
Double Eleven Pillow Winner: Xiao, Xiang: Can eat five pounds of crayfish
qread: xxx.zzz
I've noticed a problem: half the people don't want to watch the male lead, saying he's useless and hinders the female lead's comeback, while the other half want more screen time for Young Master Fu.
The author of the balding article: ? ? ?
I finally understand why they call him the male lead—because he's having such a tough time. Why don't you guys have a battle? I'll listen to whoever wins (just kidding).
