Chapter 118 The Unmotivated Teenagers
No matter what the three of them thought, Yu Wei still stood next to Gong Jiatao.
Yu Yongjun stood next to Qiao Yu.
Gong Jiatao chose the topic and handed it to Yu Yongjun.
Qiao Yu said directly: "There were five questions on the piece of paper that Fatty just put on, right? Just choose the first one."
Gong Jiatao felt underestimated, but he just immersed himself in building the game, while Yu Wei silently picked up the piece of paper Yu Yongjun just handed him again.
……
The game begins again.
After Yu Wei finished reading the question, he watched the characters controlled by the two fighting in the middle of the map. This time Gong Jiatao chose Mi Yue, while Qiao Yu chose Arthur, who was played by Fatty just now.
His judgment was correct. Opposite him, Qiao Yu had already begun to answer questions, Yu Yongjun also began to write furiously, and Gong Jiatao was still controlling the characters without saying a word.
Just when he was about to try to think about how to solve the problem while watching the game, Gong Jiatao suddenly said: "Read the problem again."
Yu Wei had no choice but to pick up the problem and read it again.
“Louder.” Gong Jiatao said again.
Yu Wei understood instantly, good guy, this is not to answer the question at all, but to interfere with the opponent's rhythm.
But it didn’t matter, he amplified his voice a little.
Unfortunately, it still seems to have no impact.
Qiao Yu was still outputting steadily in the game while reporting the answers slowly.
The first conflict Gong Jiatao ran out of blood and returned to the city.
“Read it again.”
As expected...
However, Yu Wei was not impatient, but looked at Qiao Yu and read the question again.
The first tower was knocked down...
"Read it again..."
The first tower was killed...
" Read it again.”
...
Ten minutes later, the word "failure" appeared on Gong Jiatao's screen. After a while, Yu Yongjun silently handed his transcribed answer to Gong Jiatao.
Qiao Yu, who quit the game, looked at Yu Wei and asked, "Are you ready for the question?"
Yu Wei shook his head and said, "I abstain."
Qiao Yu said in surprise: "You really don't want to try?"
Yu Wei replied: "I don't want to play this game."
Qiao Yu thought for a while and said: "The game can be changed, how about playing CS on the computer? You can't even play gun games, right? "
Yu Wei replied angrily: "I'm not interested in games."
Qiao Yu didn't care, he just stretched and said, "Are you convinced?"
Yu Wei said nothing.
Fortunately, the other two guys have also finished checking the questions. No words were spoken, indicating that there was no doubt about whether the answer was correct.
"Okay, then I am the dormitory manager. Everyone should have no doubts. This training camp lasts for nine days. The three of you are responsible for cleaning, and if I don't want to go to the restaurant, you will be responsible for cleaning me up. Bring food. One person per day, three days per cycle, no problem, right?"
Qiao Yu said calmly.
No one among the three said a word.
Qiao Yu was too lazy to pay attention to the emotions of these three guys and continued: "I know you are still not convinced, but it doesn't matter, there are still nine days to come. In addition to exams and lectures, I also Take an hour or so to relax your brain.
During this hour of brain relaxation, you can all continue to challenge me. You can also find foreign aid, the rules are still the same. Answer questions while playing. As long as you can beat me, I will listen to you for the rest of the training. This makes sense, right? ”
In fact, they probably have opinions, but they are too embarrassed to say anything.
It is impossible to be completely shameless. Not to mention that the three of them are in complicated moods at this time.
This guy calls this game a brain break? Does he dare to be more exaggerated?
No one said anything, Qiao Yu didn't bother to talk to the three of them anymore, and said: "It seems that everyone has no objection, so let's do it this way. Gong Jiatao will do it on the first day. Starting from you, remember to bring me food at noon, so I won’t go to the restaurant. ”
Gong Jiatao couldn't help but said: "Why do you start with me?"
Qiao Yu replied confidently: "Because you were the most shameless just now."
Gong Jiatao had nothing to say.
Just now he asked Yu Wei to read the questions over and over again, but he didn't do them at all. It was really a shame.
But there was nothing he could do. The main reason was that Qiao Yu's game put too much pressure on him, and it was impossible to be distracted.
As for Yu Yongjun, although the idea he came up with was shameless, at least he didn't actually use it.
"Do you still have any questions? No problem, I'll do the questions. Remember to bring me food at noon." After saying that, Qiao Yu stretched again, sat down in front of his seat and started to write the paper.
“No, brother, what if it’s a buffet and you’re not allowed to take it?” Yu Yongjun couldn’t help but ask.
“I’ve asked about those who can bring them.” Qiao Yu replied without raising his head.
……
At noon, three melancholy teenagers sat together in the restaurant, and even Yu Wei began to become more sociable. Sitting there silently, he didn't even roll his eyes at Yu Yongjun.
“I feel really shocked.” Gong Jiatao said dejectedly.
During the winter camp, he was also a person who got perfect marks. When he went on stage with Qiao Yu, he didn't think Qiao Yu was that strong. But today he realized that the two people's full marks on the CMO were really different.
"Where have we been now? Ask Yu Wei, how badly he was hit? He is not as frustrated as you." Yu Yongjun glanced at Yu Wei who still didn't like to talk next to him, and said.
“Get out!” Yu Wei glared at the fat man as usual.
However, Gong Jiatao had already looked at Yu Wei: "He used to hit you a lot?"
Looking at the guy who was still high-spirited in the morning and now looking depressed, Yu Wei thought for a while and then nodded silently.
Next to him, Yu Yongjun lost no time in adding: "But to be honest, I have never been so cruel today."
Yu Wei glanced at Yu Yongjun, and rarely took the initiative to say: "Actually, It was different a month ago.”
Gong Jiatao was stunned and asked, “Did you meet a month ago?”
"In the group." Yu Weiyan explained briefly and comprehensively.
Yu Yongjun also nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, my eldest brother used to provide paid problem-solving services, but he didn't charge me any money from that time on."
Finished , he immediately realized that his mouth was faster than his brain again, and he quickly glanced at Yu Wei.
Then he met Yu Wei’s probing eyes.
"Ahem...that..." Yu Yongjun was about to explain, but Yu Wei said directly: "I understand, you paid Qiao Yu to help me with the questions I posted in the group in the summer. You understand it right?”
"Haha..." Yu Yongjun laughed twice and decisively changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I thought about it, we can't just let Qiao Yu attack our mentality! There are not many people who are better at solving problems than us. Six Among the ten people, you can always find a few who are good at playing games, right?”
Yu Wei glared at Yu Yongjun again and stopped talking.
After all, Fatty agreed with what he said. He really didn’t want to experience this kind of shock again. But he really doesn't mind everyone experiencing it.
“Yes, yes, it’s best to be able to barely beat Qiao Yu in the game. By the way, I can experience the feeling of someone who can really do two things at once and solve Olympiad problems while playing games. Is this even a human being? A beast. It’s not that strong!”
Gong Jiatao echoed from the side.
The one who was hit the hardest today was actually him.
When watching Yu Yongjun play, he thought that the fat man was too good, and thought that he might be able to fight.
Who would have thought that when you actually start to operate, you will not be able to think about those questions in your mind. If you think about it for a moment, your hands will become slower.
Really, Gong Jiatao feels that if he starts the exam today, with his current mentality, he might really overturn the boat in the gutter and not even make it into the top fifteen.
"Let's find four people to challenge Qiao Yu tomorrow. I don't believe it in a wheel battle. I'm responsible for coaxing two people from our side to come over. You can find one each, okay?" Yu Yongjun photographed He said with his chest raised.
Yu Wei shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with anyone else in Linhai, so I can't find them."
Yu Yongjun rolled his eyes, but he felt relieved again when he thought of Yu Wei's character.
It’s normal that this guy can’t find talent.
"It's okay. There are many people in our capital this time, so I'll call two of them!" Gong Jiatao said, patting his chest.
……
After the opening ceremony, the first phase of the training mainly focused on four things, namely exams, self-study, and analysis of test questions, with three lectures interspersed in between.
If you exclude the registration on the first day and the departure on the last day, the actual time used for the first phase of training is actually only eight days. The top 60 competition champions of the CMO National Competition will take four exams here.
The exams are on the third and fourth days, and the eighth and ninth days respectively. The middle three days were interspersed with three lectures and a three-hour test analysis.
The first two exams can probably be understood as a process of finding out and filling in the gaps. After the last two exams, fifteen people will be selected to participate in the finals and compete for the qualification to represent China in IMO in the second stage of training.
The leader of this IMO team, Professor Zhou Liang from the School of Mathematical Sciences of Yanbei University, clearly felt that something was wrong on the fourth day. Many children are in very poor condition this time, as can be seen from the previous two exams.
Many children who had done very well in the CMO before had their hips stretched out during these two exams.
He specially observed everyone's energy during the self-study class. Those children whose grades had seriously declined were obviously not in the right mood and were visibly depressed.
This is not the first time that Zhou Liang has served as the team leader of IMO. It is not surprising that among the sixty students, there are occasionally one or two such students, but it is extremely abnormal to suddenly have such a large-scale problem. . And it seems to have certain regional characteristics.
For example, the grades of local students in Beijing have generally declined, and even Gong Jiatao, who got full marks in CMO, is no exception.
You must know that this is no ordinary rocket class, but a gathering of the 60 most mathematically talented children of this age group in China. Each of them is one of a kind, and their psychological adjustment ability is inherently stronger than that of ordinary children of the same age.
In the past, if these academic masters said that they did not do well in the exam, they were mostly modest and could not be believed. But this time they really failed to do well in the exam, and a large number of their scores suddenly dropped.
Whenever this kind of problem occurs in a large area, there must be something wrong.
So during the evening self-study for exam (2), Zhou Liang called all the children whose scores had seriously declined in these two exams to talk to the office one by one, including Gong Jiatao and Yu Wei.
The initial conversation did not go well, not many people were willing to speak.
But as a half-grown child, as long as you have more patience, you can always figure out the truth. As long as one of them opens the mouth, the rest will be easy to talk about.
After the chat, Professor Zhou felt numb...
No wonder the collective performance was abnormal. It turned out that they were all hit?
Good guy... What a good guy, how can he play like this?
That kid Qiao Yu single-handedly beat up all the children in the IMO training camp one by one? There are actually students who are struggling with the idea that someone can play games and solve problems at the same time, and can they beat him in the game?
The scope of the influence was not only the children who challenged Qiao Yu, but also the mentality of the children who watched the fun and watched.
There were even four people in the dormitory who couldn't sleep at night, talking about this matter until two or three in the morning before going to bed?
This is really a new trick to add intensity to his work!
So before self-study the next evening, Qiao Yu was directly invited to his office.
But seeing the child's confused look, Zhou Liang didn't know where to start. Recently, Tian Yanzhen has been recommending the ArXiv paper to everyone.
Yes, most of the mathematics professors at Yanbei University have read Qiao Yu's paper submitted to Ann.Math.
Zhou Liang didn't know what others thought, but after reading the paper, he was really amazed.
A sixteen-year-old student could write such a paper. He didn't dare to think about where the pinnacle of this little guy's achievements would be in the future. After all, he has no experience of publishing articles in the top four mathematics journals.
Even Schulz, the recognized mathematical genius, did not achieve this kind of achievement when he was sixteen years old.
Not to mention that this guy has started studying the Langlands conjecture of geometry in his self-study class, and Zhou Liang has seen it all.
Many times, he couldn't treat Qiao Yu as a student.
For example, even if he was called to his office, other students would stand there and talk to him. But when Qiao Yu came, his first words were: "Qiao Yu, here you go, sit down, um, would you like some tea?" ?”
Qiao Yu shook his head and replied: “No need. "Professor Zhou, why did you call me here?"
Zhou Liang thought for a while and asked directly: "Okay, I won't delay your study time. Let's get straight to the point, are you here?" Designed a challenge game in the dormitory while playing the game? The one who solves the problem? "
Qiao Yu nodded and said truthfully: "Yes, the main reason is that the three guys who shared the same bed with me were not convinced that I was the dormitory leader, so I thought of a way to let them Shut up. But they were still not convinced and asked their classmates again. The challenge is coming.
But don’t worry, they have never been specially trained in this kind of multitasking ability, and they will definitely not be able to defeat me if I design this game. Peking University is in disgrace.”
Professor Zhou fell silent again after one sentence.
He originally wanted to let Qiao Yu give everyone a break, so that they could win one or two games and regain some confidence. After hearing this, I might as well forget it.
"No, Qiao Yu, I am very relieved about you, really. After the two exams, you performed the most stably, with perfect scores in both exams. But have you ever considered a single question? If you do it like this, It will seriously damage the confidence of other partners.
To tell you the truth, after these two exams, those who have competed with you and those who have watched and challenged you have different scores in these two exams. Not ideal. You are like this. It seriously affected their enthusiasm for mathematics!"
Zhou Liang continued sincerely: "You also know that IMO is a team competition. No matter how strong you are alone, you will only get a perfect score at most! For gold medals, what matters is the team performance. If the mentality of the students with the best grades is broken and they can’t make it to the next trials, the team results will be ugly and you will be disgraced, right?”
< br>
This time it was Qiao Yu's turn to be surprised and said in surprise: "Isn't it? Their ability to withstand pressure is so bad? Where are they?"
Zhou Liang curled his lips, good guy, can withstand pressure? All abilities are revealed.
Forget about the students, he feels almost numb now.
After all, being a team leader also comes with performance pressure. Even if you can’t take first place, you can’t fall too far behind, right? Let him lead the team to the worst performance in the team's history, and he will probably be sprayed to death by Tumo Xingzi when he comes back.
Anyway, if it didn’t work out, he planned to go to the research center to find Academician Tian for review.
Originally, he didn't plan to be the team leader this year, but Academician Tian arranged for him to lead the team again. Now that his students are playing like this, who is not under great pressure?
"No, Qiao Yu, you have to consider that everyone is sixteen or seventeen years old. It is normal for emotions to fluctuate greatly at this age. Not everyone has strong ability to withstand stress. In this way, the distance There are still three days left for the next stage of the exam. Let’s think of a way to get the students to have a good attitude first.”
Zhou Liang asked directly.
Qiao Yu nodded simply and said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Zhou Liang took a long breath and said: "Well, first of all, this game is now definitely This can’t go on any longer.”
Qiao Yu nodded and agreed to the request. Anyway, the three guys in the dormitory are now honest.
Then Zhou Liang suddenly had an idea and said enthusiastically: "However, when we arrive in Australia in July, teams from all countries will usually arrive the day before the opening ceremony. Usually they will not arrive on the day of the opening ceremony. There are other arrangements. In other words, there will be about two days to allow students from various countries to participate in IMO to communicate freely. Then I will help you contact them, and then you can contact others. Members of the national team will come to play some friendly matches. Then you can perform well."
Qiao Yu glanced at Professor Zhou, then nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
"Well, which games are you good at? You also know that popular domestic games may be different from popular foreign games. I will also go and ask about them from time to time."
This question made Qiao Yu feel like he was applying for a job at a game studio. This seemed to be his original plan for life, so the world is actually a strange circle? Going around and around, can you always get back to your original intention?
“Um...that...actually I heard that I am good at all competitive games. For example, foreign countries should also play CS:GO, and by the way, there are also League of Legends and the like...even if they are not familiar with them. I just practiced the game for two games and got familiar with the skills.”
Zhou Liang nodded, with a smile on his face: “That’s it, that’s okay. , I will arrange it then. We will also launch a game league at this year's IMO. I believe everyone will like it. Westerners like the whole thing more than us. "
Qiao Yu nodded. , promised: "Don't worry, Professor Zhou, I promise not to disappoint you, and must win glory for China."
......
During the training period, the self-study time was fixed at 9:30 every night. After chatting with the team leader, Professor Zhou, it was almost 10 o'clock when I returned to the dormitory.
However, no one was sleeping in the dormitory. Everyone was sitting there with sad faces and chatting. When they saw Qiao Yu coming in, they became quiet again.
"Boss..." Yu Yongjun took the initiative to say hello as usual.
Others can't say "boss" most of the time, but Yu Yongjun has no burden in this regard at all.
Anyway, so far, Qiao Yu hasn't found out where the fat man's lower limit is.
But today Qiao Yu still replied: "Don't call me boss from now on, we are all classmates."
Yu Yongjun blinked his eyes, looked at Qiao Yu, and asked: "Boss, am I sure what you said? Can you get the pre-admission notice from Yanbei University?"
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to deal with this thing.
Whether you can get the pre-admission notice and which school you get the pre-admission notice from ultimately depends on the interview results. Anyway, as long as you are in the top sixty and have no other plans, such as studying abroad, you can always choose one of Huaqing or Yanbei.
Now Qiao Yu feels that both sides are pretty good, and he has a future no matter which side he chooses.
So after thinking about it, he suddenly suggested: "Okay, why don't we all go to bed early today, and then lie on the bed and chat casually?"
The three friends in the dormitory, after being stunned, agreed with Qiao Yu's idea, then started to wash up and go to bed.
If it were changed before, no matter what choice Yu Yongjun and Gong Jiatao would make, at least Yu Wei would definitely not pay attention to this kind of suggestion, and might even say sarcastically: "When do I want to sleep?"< br>
The training manual only recommends turning off the lights and going to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening, but now it is only a few minutes until ten o'clock.
Not only did he not say a word this time, he also silently started to wash up with the other three people, and then climbed into bed. Maybe Yu Wei hasn't realized that this is a surrender mentality, or maybe he has realized it, but just refuses to admit it.
Anyway, this world is soft all over, but there are many people who are still tough with words, and there is definitely no shortage of Yu Wei.
Going to bed early, closing the door, and turning off the lights, this night suddenly feels different.
The surroundings are filled with all kinds of noises unique to collective life.
If they really wanted to sleep, it would definitely cause all kinds of dissatisfaction, but fortunately, none of the four people planned to sleep.
"Brother, what are you looking at there every day?" Yu Yongjun, who was responsible for closing the door and turning off the lights today, and finally climbed into bed and got under the quilt, did not let Qiao Yu prepare for this sleeping session. After a while, as soon as he found a comfortable sleeping position, he asked.
It's not like he didn't peek at Qiao Yu's stuff.
But Qiao Yu wrote the paper at his own pace. It had no beginning or end, and it was all in English. He really didn't notice.
"There are several papers downloaded from ArXiv, about the geometric Langlands conjecture. I have been very interested in this research recently." Qiao Yu replied readily.
But he knew that this topic would most likely not spark discussion. In fact, not to mention the high school level, even the first undergraduate level will not be exposed to the content of the Langlands Program.
There was nothing we could talk about, so he continued: "My situation is different from yours, so don't compare yourself to me. I participated in IMO mainly to complete the task. Once the IMO task is completed, you will be counted as next year. If we were directly admitted to the elite class of Yanbei University, there is a high probability that we would not be classmates, so there is no point in competing with me.”
This is Qiao Yu's way of comforting people. He first points out the facts and makes everyone aware of the gap, and generally they can let go of their burdens. If you still can't let go, then your mental quality is too poor, and you won't be able to achieve good results in international competitions.
Yu Wei couldn't help it anymore and said, "How is your situation different from ours?"
Qiao Yu lay there flat, staring at the faint light that broke into the room through the window. He stared at the ceiling and asked in an indifferent tone: "You all have a father, right?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't have an father at home?" Gong Jiatao quickly answered, and then immediately realized Something is wrong.
As expected, Qiao Yu said in a calm tone: "Yes, you all have it, but I don't. Look, so we are indeed different."
"No, brother, what's wrong with your dad? Is this still possible?" Yu Yongjun asked.
Qiao Yu calmly narrated: "I died before I was born. Because of some things, you can understand that my mother suffered from staged severe social fear, so she was not suitable to go out to work. She was in the fifth grade. After my grandfather passed away in 2010, I decided to I will start to support my family.
If I don’t work hard, my mother will have to live a hard life with me, and even eating will be a problem. You have never faced this kind of survival pressure, you just need to study well. I am different. I not only have to study well, but also Excellent enough.
This is where we are different. I have never experienced the pressure of survival, so of course I can’t develop my abilities. When I was in elementary school, I was playing games to make money while doing homework. Teacher, what do you want to follow me? Than?
Don’t believe it, there is a sample essay I wrote on the official account of my alma mater, Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, which is a short story about me visiting my father’s grave during the Qingming Festival. The teacher commented that it was sincere. , so sincere..."
Qiao Yu used some writing skills here. He didn't tell the three friends about the composition, and the teacher directly deleted his piece as the last O. Henry-style ending.
But it was still quiet in the dormitory.
In fact, everyone knows that to reach Qiao Yu's level, it is definitely not enough to work hard, but when it comes to this, I really don't know how to answer. Because they have never faced the pressure of survival.
At least no one has to be responsible for supporting the family while studying. Even in order to ensure their study, the family does its best to provide them with the best resources.
As for Yu Wei, he thought more.
His mind flashed back to what Qiao Yu said when he was invited to participate in the Little Li Baba preliminaries in August and when they took a short walk together the night after the exam, and he understood this guy's words "Sacrifice his father's life every night." What does it mean that his mathematical talent is amazing?"
By the way, that night he also said that he wanted to play Go and gamble with him. He felt very complicated.
If he had known this earlier, he would have agreed at that time.
It’s not that sympathy is overflowing. In fact, Yu Wei is not the kind of person who is very emotional and can think from others’ perspective. I simply feel that if he had lost a sum of money to Qiao Yu, this guy probably wouldn't have fought so hard, and he wouldn't have had to suffer so many blows.
"I'm sorry." After a while, Gong Jiatao apologized softly.
The sound is not loud, but it is quite clear in the room.
"What's there to apologize for? It's better not to have a father. No one cared about me when I was a child, so I had a very happy childhood. What are the things in your mind about being bullied and laughed at when you were a child? , none of it happened.
Bullying is also about bullying others! Every one of those little brats in my old neighborhood was beaten by me. Not only did they get beaten by me outside, they also had to be beaten when they came home, just because I was used to being better than others since they were young. Work harder.
My grandpa said that in this world There are not many fathers in the world. Most people will choose to blame others and use this as an excuse for failure; only a few people will use this as an incentive for themselves to work harder and strive for every success.
This is actually the most mediocre thing in this world The reason why there are far more people than outstanding people is because it is too easy to blame others, and it is too difficult to work hard. Just like this time, you lost a game to me, and each of you seemed to be ready to fall flat. Same, I failed in the exams these two days
Look, this belongs to the former's thinking mode. It's just that I didn't win the game, and then I blamed it on my self-confidence being hit, so I could calmly accept the fact that my test scores dropped. So don't apologize to me, apologize to yourselves. "
Qiao Yu said in one breath.
Forget about the people in other dormitories, he still recognizes the strength of Yu Wei and Gong Jiatao. If the confidence of these two guys is hit too hard, , it would be a pity if we didn’t make it into the top 16.
As Professor Zhou said just now, IMO what matters more is the team’s performance.
After these words. , another long period of silence.
After a long while, Yu Weicai said: "I don't know what they are like. I never make excuses for failure, and the goal I mentioned that day has not changed. I will definitely catch up with your achievements sooner or later."< br>
Qiao Yu felt guilty when he heard Yu Wei's words. In the past, this guy's tone would have been more firm, with an undoubted tone, but this time it was obviously not there. It was soft and not at all. Strength.
But he just grinned and didn't expose it.
"No, Yu Wei, what are you talking about? Let me tell you, I will definitely get full marks in the next two exams!" Gong Jiatao muttered dissatisfiedly.
Well, it can actually be seen that Gong Jiatao doesn't like Yu Wei very much either.
But this is normal.
With Yu Wei's character, he won't be liked anywhere, but this guy probably won't care too much.
Everyone has his own way of living, not to mention that Yu Wei also has the qualifications to be arrogant.
People who often reincarnate know that accurate reincarnation has been a skill from ancient times to the present, from home to abroad, and it is a skill that most people cannot learn in a lifetime.
"Yes, yes, the four of us in the dormitory must go to Australia together neatly. I have never been abroad in my life. If I can be in the top six this time, I can fulfill my dream of going abroad. . I went to search for videos to watch, and there are so many beautiful women in Australia, they are so eye-catching.”
Gong Jiatao immediately echoed: "Well, this year's IMO resort city Sunshine Coast is held. I searched online and found that there are many beach thieves there. It's just a pity that July is winter. It would be nice to go in summer. Summer beaches are free. You can see the bikini, hehe.”
Obviously, classmate Yu Yongjun successfully moved the next topic in a somewhat strange direction.
What greasy boys...
But this made Qiao Yu feel very relieved. They had already started discussing bikinis, so that was probably no problem, so he chimed in with a few words. , Qiao Yu closed his mouth. After all, his knowledge in this area is really poor.
I have to say that although the two of them were almost indifferent in other aspects, they knew so much about all sorts of things that it even amazed Qiao Yu.
For example, how to use the palm of your hand to quickly and accurately measure which gear is A, B, C, or D? This is something Qiao Yu has never been exposed to, and he has never even thought about it.
He didn't know whether what the two people said was right, but after hearing that they each had sufficient arguments and their postures became more and more energetic as they talked, Qiao Yu felt that what they said probably made a little bit of sense. .
Originally, Qiao Yu was ready to study quietly until the early morning, but unfortunately Yu Wei suddenly joined in.
“Go to sleep.”
“No, Yu Wei, don’t spoil the fun.”
"Disappointing? You two have probably never held a girl's hand, right?"
"Without such humiliation, who hasn't held a girl's hand? I did it every day when I was in kindergarten!"
>
“I pooped every day when I was in elementary school!”
“Huh...it turns out that the poor students have too much stationery.”
“No, are you talking about how awesome you are?”
"That's right, are you jealous of our rich theoretical knowledge?"
"You are all still virgins, right?"
"Tch, so what? Aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm not."
Yu Wei's calm voice was actually not loud, and only contained a few short words, but at this time it was as deafening as a bell, echoing endlessly. Silenced the two guys who were having a good discussion.
Even Qiao Yu couldn't help but turn sideways and glance in the direction hidden in the darkness.
The rich second generation is so shameful!
After a long time, a weak voice came out: "Well, what does it feel like?"
"The feeling is: happiness is short-lived, and troubles are long-lasting." Yu Wei's tone Said very calmly.
Qiao Yu turned over, closed his eyes and planned to sleep. He was indeed tired these past few days. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to listen to the rich second generation showing off. Because this answer felt very real to him. He had never experienced it before, so it would be impossible for him to have such a real emotion.
…
There is not much to say in the next few days. Everyone returned to the normal rhythm. During the three-day window without exams, Professor Zhou and teachers from various schools provided psychological counseling to these children.
This is also a rare experience for Zhou Liang - it has never been so troublesome before.
Generally speaking, children who have reached the training stage are very worry-free to take care of.
Because most of them have very clear goals and know the direction of their efforts.
But there is no way, if you live long enough in life, you will always witness some weird things.
Fortunately, everyone recovered well, and the results of the next two days of exams three days later were in line with previous expectations. At least a few of the kids who had been the focus of attention before didn't stretch their hips to the point where they couldn't reach the top fifteen.
At least at the closing ceremony, a result was announced that everyone could accept. The good news is that Yu Yongjun once again stumbled into the top sixteen and entered the second stage of special training.
In fact, at this stage, except for no more than a quarter of the players, everyone else has a clear understanding of their own level. Whether I can make it into the top sixteen, I already have the answer in my heart. There are even people whose original goal is to top 60 in the national competition.
So I won’t be too upset if I am eliminated at this stage.
As for Qiao Yu's performance, he was as stable as ever.
No one emphasizes how great he is with perfect scores in all four exams. Because this is already a matter of course. On the contrary, if Qiao Yu does not get full marks, everyone may wonder whether there is an error in the question.
Yes, after showing off his ability to answer questions while playing games and ensuring 100% accuracy, everyone no longer regards him as a human being - he is just a beast!
On the last day, before leaving, when they were alone, Qiao Yu asked the question he had been holding in his heart for several days.
“Um, Yu Wei, are you really not that one anymore?”
"Which one?"
"Nonsense, what I said that night, don't pretend to be stupid!" Qiao Yu said coldly, looking at Yu Wei.
“Oh, I lied to them that night.” Yu Wei said lightly.
Qiao Yu was a little surprised and confirmed: "You lied to them?"
"Well, the two of them were too noisy. If I didn't lie to them and talked about this boring topic all night, what would happen? Very annoying." Yu Wei explained.
Qiao Yu smacked his lips, feeling that what Yu Wei said seemed to make some sense, but he still said disdainfully: "You are dishonest."
Yu Wei glanced at Qiao Yu and said: "I'm sincere Dishonesty doesn't matter, the key is the effect, as long as they believe it, it's enough."
Qiao Yu sneered: "How do you know they will believe it?"
Yu Wei said naturally: " Because people tend to be superstitious about authority. Yu Yongjun told Gong Jiatao that I am a rich second generation. They don’t know what the real life of a rich second generation is like, so they will believe whatever I say.
You now. It is also an authority. If you say something, they will believe it. The key is to be calm and calm when telling lies, without any hesitation and letting people see the flaws. ”
These words made sense, and Qiao Yu was fascinated when he heard them, and then asked: "So what is the life of the rich second generation like? Tell me when you have time."
Yu Wei tilted his head and said He looked at Qiao Yu with inquiring eyes and said nothing.
Qiao Yu immediately explained: "I want to know in advance for my future son. You know, I am so strong, I will definitely be a rich generation in the future, and my son will naturally be a rich second generation. I think I will cultivate a rich man in the future. A son like you is not bad.”
“Goodbye!” Yu Wei was silent at first, then said these two words briefly, and then walked towards the stairs next to him without looking back. go.
"See you in Star City next weekend." Qiao Yu said goodbye in a more precise sentence towards Yu Wei's back.
It is true that we will meet next week, because the second phase of IMO training is about to begin again. The best of the fifteen people will be selected. In the end, only six people will be qualified to represent China in Australia. The enjoyment makes the two greasy teenagers yearn for it. Sunny Beach...
Qiao Yu was in an inexplicably good mood at this time.
After all, I will be able to return to Star City soon. I can go home to see my mother at public expense and give her a surprise. Just thinking about it is exciting.
PS: Completed the 32nd day of 10,000-word punch-in!
