After a rain last night, the sun is shining now, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the rematch will begin.

Li Xuan took his certificates and stationery and followed the road signs to the designated examination room. This was the first time he saw so many students from top schools gathering together to take exams. When people walked past the playground, the scene was spectacular.

Before going to the examination room, Zhao Dongming did not forget to cheer Li Xuan up. It seemed that he was very stressed: "Come on! Don't be nervous! Don't be stressed!"

Li Xuan smiled and responded with an OK gesture.

When he arrived at the examination room, Li Xuan peeled off the milk candy and ate it before the exam started. When the wonderful taste spread in his taste buds, he felt as if his body had gained strength and his tension was relieved a lot.

Li Xuan thinks that he has a good mentality, but he can also have some mood swings. At times like this, if he does not keep calm and is too nervous and excited, it will affect his performance in the exam. The original first prize may not even be the second prize.

Can't get it.

The larger the exam, the more it tests the psychological quality.

But now he is fine. Thinking of Lingchu, Li Xuan feels warm and calm in his heart, and his breathing feels comfortable.

Maybe her milk candy will really bring good luck.

In this rematch, it is still a single person and a single table. In order to prevent cheating, the front and rear monitors in the classroom are turned on. The wind outside the window is blowing. Apart from that, there is no sound at all. This shows the quality of the students.

.

As the invigilator came in and the test papers were distributed, there was nothing but the sound of papers being turned.

The examination room was eerily quiet.

"It's begun..." Li Xuan breathed out, picked up the pen, and began to write.

In the rain last night, the girl’s farewell words.

Standing on the rooftop of the school in the early morning, looking at the sky, believing in the future.

Countless nights of hard work burning the midnight oil, the movement of the hour and minute hands visible to the naked eye, and insomnia and staying up late.

There are endless papers to finish, endless English words to memorize, endless Mathematical Olympiad tutorials to learn, and you should devote yourself to studying.

Running exercises, sports meetings, exhilarating youthful spirit.

The people who laughed at him, the people who made fun of him, the helplessness and confusion when he first came into this world, and the final decision.

The picture kept replaying.

All the experiences in the past have turned into the strength to write now. Each stroke is stable and practical.

Li Xuan looked at every question without feeling unfamiliar. He could always find an idea. He studied every day. He didn't know how much his knowledge had increased. But when it came to writing the semi-finals test paper, he could answer the questions without any obstacles, which was enough to measure how much he had improved.

…

…

Time is running out and the semi-final exam is over.

After lunch, many students from the school gathered in the lecture theater in the afternoon to discuss the answers. There were also students who did not want to answer the questions and went back early.

At the same time, the evaluation work is still going on simultaneously.

After the semi-finals, there will be a round of finals, with only five major questions being tested. These five major questions are very difficult. The rankings are based on the cumulative results of the two rounds. The finals will be tomorrow morning. All students who pass the semi-finals will be at least third class.

Only by entering the finals can you get the first prize.

It was a bit hot in the afternoon. Zhao Dongming took a blank test paper and the answers written by a doctoral student in mathematics and said to Li Xuan and Liang Zhihui: "Estimate how many points you can get."

Li Xuan picked up the answers and checked them according to the memory in his head. The total score of the semi-final paper was 120 points, 60 points for the fill-in-the-blank questions, and 60 points for the answer questions.

Li Xuan didn't find any problems with the fill-in-the-blank question, but when he came to the answer question, he saw the answer to a number theory question and frowned slightly.

"How's it going? What's the estimated score?"

Zhao Dongming saw Li Xuan frown.

Li Xuan didn't answer. He looked at the answer and thought about why the answer was solved so well. The process of solving the answer was a little different from his, and the result was completely different from his. So he was wrong about this big question?

This big question is worth thirty points. If you get it wrong, you will almost lose the possibility of competing for first place.

After Jin Letian checked the answers, he became desperate. After despair, he became optimistic and said with a smile: "I didn't get half of the fill-in-the-blank questions right. I won't talk about the big questions. Forget it, let's see if I can win the second and third prizes."

Let’s take a look. After all, we have entered the semi-finals, so we can brag when we go back.”

In addition to Li Xuan and Jin Letian, the one who received the most attention in the No. 2 Middle School was Liang Zhihui. After reading the answers, he pondered without saying a word and seemed not very satisfied.

…

…

Now because of the last question, the scene started to debate. The debate was very loud. Almost no one got it right, and there were some deviations from the answers.

"No one got the last number theory question right?"

"Is there any mistake in the answer? Why is an-1 directly equal to 789/154? Because there is no scientific reason at all."

"This question is very strange, but the answer was provided by a doctoral student, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Li Xuan heard the comments from the classmates around him and became more and more sure that there was something wrong with the answer.

As for the Chaoyang Cup this time, when it comes to being the favorite to win the championship, the one with the loudest voice is actually not Hua Affiliated High School, let alone Li Xuan, but Ouyang Zhe from Pengcheng Middle School.

Throughout the afternoon, Ouyang Zhe sat and read. He didn't really care about the answers, but his classmates did. After checking the answers, he frowned: "Ouyang Zhe, the answer to the last big question you gave is different from the answer."

Ouyang Zhe smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the answer is wrong if it's different from me. The difficulty of the Chaoyang Cup question this time is only medium, I won't be wrong."

Probably only Ouyang Zhe would dare to say such arrogant words. The classmate was shocked and spread Ouyang Zhe's words:

"Everyone, stop arguing, Ou Shen said the answer is wrong!"

…

Later, the organizer came out and proved that the answers given by the doctoral students were indeed wrong. This was so dramatic that Ouyang Zhe's name spread among the students. It is said that Ouyang Zhe handed in the paper in the middle of the exam, which was amazing.

In the evening, when taking the school bus back, Li Xuan asked Zhao Dongming curiously: "Teacher, who is Ouyang Zhe?"

Li Xuan asked, and the students from No. 2 Middle School, including Liang Zhihui, looked over.

Zhao Dongming knew Li Xuan's desire for the first place. Seeing Li Xuan's curious eyes, he said helplessly: "I didn't expect that Ouyang Zhe would also come to participate in this cup. It seems that he must be the first place. Teacher Chen, you compare

If you are familiar with him, please tell me."

"Okay." Chen Guang said with emotion when he talked about Ouyang Zhe, "This Ouyang Zhe was a member of the IMO national training team for the last mathematics competition."

"National training team?"

Li Xuan thought silently that the national training team had always given him a distant feeling. He had never thought about it. Anyway, almost everyone who could enter the national team was a god.

"Teacher, let me tell you." Jin Letian said anxiously and said with a smile, "Ouyang Zhe was my classmate in junior high school. His grades were not very good before, at least not as good as mine. When he was in the second grade of junior high school, he was attracted by the teacher and said he was very good.

He had a talent for mathematics, so he was put into competitions. Then in the third grade of junior high school, I was beaten by him in all subjects. He got the first place in the province. Then, he won the first place in all the provincial mathematics competitions he participated in.

The kind that means he loses if he doesn't get the first place... Later he went to Pengcheng Middle School and took off completely. In the Southeast Asia Mathematical Competition, he became a god in one battle and beat the shit out of contestants from other countries. Many people on the Internet

Just call him the God of Europe."

He knows very well how powerful Ouyang Zhe is.

Ouyang Zhe is a talented sophomore student who came out of Pengcheng High School's competition system. He joined the provincial team when he was a freshman in high school. He also passed various selections and was selected for the national training team. In the end, he missed out on the national team by a few points.

The national team has the best six players. Ouyang Zhe can be regarded as seventh in the country in the last national mathematics competition. Ouyang Zhe's strength is in number theory. He can do mental calculations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of five digits or less without using a calculator.

The head coach of the national training team was very optimistic about him and once said: "Ouyang Zhe, you will come to the national team again next time!" One can imagine Ouyang Zhe's talent.

You know, when he entered the national training team, Ouyang Zhe was only a freshman in high school. It was completely appropriate for him to join the national team in his second and third years of high school. Now he has been recommended to Tsinghua University and is studying in school just to compete in the next national team. Not only are many competition teachers

, even the organizers believe that Ouyang Zhe will win the Chaoyang Cup this time.

High school freshman recommended to Tsinghua University?

National training team?

Hearing this, Li Xuan took a deep breath and understood completely. Here comes a great person who is a natural protagonist in reality.

Liang Zhihui was confused when he heard about the national team. It was the first time that he felt completely crushed. He didn't know it until he came, and he was shocked when he came. Today he was lucky enough to meet many giants, and he was greatly shocked.

Anyway, after saying this, everyone understands that a great god has come to abuse food.

Zhao Dongming patted Li Xuan on the shoulder: "It's okay, the first prize is pretty good."
