Chapter 85 The National Middle School Mathematics League is coming
The head teacher of the first grade of high school was Tang Rongzhen, an English teacher, but perhaps because of her age, her clothes and appearance did not have the traces of the netizens' stereotypes, and they were not fashionable at all. Her ideas were not fashionable either.

For example, when it was time to collect the books, there was no special arrangement for boys to go. Instead, the student sitting in the back three rows were simply asked to go out and bring back all the books for the class.

However, the children in the first three rows did not take advantage of the situation. When the children in the last three rows were asked to go get their books, they were told that those who did not go to get their books after the class meeting would stay to clean the classroom thoroughly. The main goal was fairness. The front and back rows had no complaints.

After moving the books and distributing them all, it was time to elect class leaders.

From this point on, Qiao Yu had nothing to do with anything.

The head teacher talked to him during the military training, and Qiao Yu felt that he didn't need to be a class leader. First, he was too lazy to take care of himself, let alone others. Second, Qiao Yu's goal was very clear, he wouldn't stay in high school for long, probably only two months.

The good guys have already told him about it.

The preliminary round is about to begin. We are among the top students in the province and will go to Luhai Middle School in Ningshui City to participate in the finals in November.

As long as you can get into the top 60 in the national finals, you can join the national training team. At that time, you will only be given a few days of vacation, and then you will go to the training site for unified training.

It is said that in the national training team, daily life is to do papers and practice questions, and then explain, day after day, in early March of the following year. The first phase of training is completed, and an exam is conducted. Fifteen people are selected from sixty people. Those who are eliminated can return to school, and the rest enter the second phase of special training.

At the end of the month, there will be a second exam to select the final six people, five regular contestants and one substitute.

Then continue training, maintain your form, and represent China to go abroad to participate in the finals of the Austrian Federation.

In other words, he will basically not stay in Tieyi Middle School in November.

Even Principal Zhang informed him in advance that as long as he ranked among the top in the provincial competition and was sure to enter the national competition, he would not have to go to class. The school would prepare a special study room for him, where he could study alone every day without being disturbed by the teacher.

So naturally, the class leader has nothing to do with him.

For other people, living together in this class for three years will be the purest memory of their lives, but Qiao Yu felt that he was just a passer-by who just came to get familiar with everyone.

His temporary deskmate was elected as the study committee member, but that was also expected.

When class committees were first selected in the first year of high school, the teachers mostly decided on important positions in the class, such as monitor and student committee, based on grades. It takes a process to get to know each other and become familiar with each other. Of course, these have nothing to do with Qiao Yu.

What made him depressed was that when deciding the seats, his temporary deskmate Yao Qinxin suddenly raised his hand, and then stood up when he was called, and said: "Reporting to Teacher Tang, my math grades are a bit poor, so I want to sit at the same table with Qiao Yu, hoping that he can help me improve my math grades in normal times."

The girl's forthright words elicited a burst of cheerful cheers in the classroom.

However, Teacher Tang, who was standing on the podium, just frowned and glanced around the classroom, and the teenagers' restless hearts quickly cooled down.

Qiao Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes and suddenly began to miss the life in Class 13.

Everyone just eats and waits for death together. Students don't feel that they need to make up for any subject they are weak in. The class atmosphere is very united and friendly. The teacher will smile if he doesn't hear the national quintessence for a day.

Unlike this A class, they haven't even started the class yet, but they've already started thinking about where to start in the future. The teacher is also very hard-working. He has to put on a stern face immediately after a few noises...

Qiao Yu was still complaining in his heart when he suddenly heard the head teacher calling his name.

"Qiao Yu, what do you think?"

Qiao Yu stood up, glanced at the drinks on the table, and said insincerely: "I can actually do either, but I may not be able to stay in the class for a few days!"

"You have to stay for a few days anyway, so you and Yao Qinxin can sit at the same table for now. You don't need to change your seats. Okay, both of you sit down. Xu Zhiyao, you will sit in group 3, row 2..." The head teacher on the podium made a quick and decisive arrangement.

After sitting down, Yao Qinxin made an OK gesture to Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu smiled back. However, Xia Keke's figure suddenly popped up in his mind, and he inexplicably felt guilty.

Damn his high moral standards... Qiao Yu cursed himself deep in his heart.

It is true that if people are too moral, their life will be very tiring. Only by being shameless can one be invincible in the world.

Qiao Yu suddenly felt that he had found the main reason why Xida Neng had been so domineering on Earth for so many years.

……

High school life is very fulfilling, and so is Qiao Yu.

But for him, it was just moving what he did at home to school.

He threw all the textbooks distributed by school directly into the drawer of his desk and has never touched them until now.

The papers that Professor Xue sent him were all printed out and bound to become his main textbooks. When he was in school, he only had a paper, a piece of manuscript paper and a pen. When he saw something interesting, he would write and draw on the manuscript paper.

During the morning and evening self-study, the teacher would occasionally turn to his side and glance at him, usually staying for a second or two at most before simply walking away. One morning during English reading, the head teacher did pick up the English paper that Qiao Yu had left beside him, flipped through it casually, and then quietly put it back.

The only time we had language communication was during evening math study.

While other students were doing exercises, Mr. Wang, the mathematics teacher, turned around and saw that Qiao Yu seemed to be analyzing a problem about the eccentricity of an elliptic curve. He couldn't help but chat with Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu highlighted the original part of the paper, showed it to the curious teacher, and then briefly talked about what he was thinking about.

The teacher frowned and thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "This... doesn't seem to be part of the Mathematical Olympiad exam, right?"

Qiao Yu replied politely, "No, a teacher asked me to complete a paper that required research on this topic. He told me to write it well and try to publish it in the Journal of Number Theory."

Then the teacher was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, keep going!"

Then there is no more.

Qiao Yu once again returned to high school life without teachers to bother him. In theory, if Qiao Yu didn't want to move, he didn't have to go to physical education class.

But due to his love for sports, Qiao Yu did not stay in the classroom during physical education class. He would choose to go to the school's ping-pong table to have some fun and enrich his life.

Just like that a week passed quickly.

On the 7th, which was Saturday night, the good guy called and reminded Qiao Yu again and again that he must bring his ID card and gather at the school gate on time at 6:50 the next morning.

This year's league Xingnan Province exam was held at Changjun Middle School, and the exam started on time at 8 a.m. According to the national unified exam schedule, both the first and second exams would be completed in the morning, with only a 20-minute break in between.

Qiao Yu did not read the paper in the evening. He had dinner and chatted with Qiao Xi for a while. In the meantime, he received a call from Xia Keke who cheered him up.

Although Changjun headquarters started having weekend classes in her second year of high school, Xia Keke couldn't go home on weekends during her first year of high school. Old Xia spent a huge amount of money to enroll her in a cram school near the school, and she still had to attend classes every weekend.

At most, you can take a break during self-study in the morning and evening and arrange your time by yourself.

There is no other way. Even in Changjun, there are 1,500 to 600 students taking the college entrance examination every year, and only the top 50 to 60 students can get into Peking University and Tsinghua University. For people with goals, it is always right to work harder.

After chatting with Xia Keke on the phone for a few words, Qiao Yu returned to his room and started playing games. After letting his brain relax thoroughly, he lay down on the bed at nine o'clock. He slept until six twenty in the morning, washed up at home, ate a bowl of noodles that Qiao Xi had specially prepared for him, and walked out of the house in high spirits.

He arrived at the school gate on time. A seven-seater commercial vehicle was already waiting there. The good old man was standing next to the car looking around. When he saw him, he waved to him.

"Qiao Yu, hurry up, we're waiting for you. You're really punctual. I told you it would be 50, but you didn't arrive until 49. Hurry up and get in the car."

Qiao Yu smiled embarrassedly, quickly took two steps and got into the car, and saw that there were actually a few familiar faces in the car.

Ma Yufei, and the one who had paid him to help the senior student solve a problem. Qiao Yu forgot his name, but he seemed to remember that his last name was Zhang. There were two other people he had seen in class, but he had only seen them once, and he didn't even remember their names.

There was no other way. After attending the Olympiad class three times, Ranger felt that he didn't need to waste time.

When these people were still studying together during the summer vacation, Qiao Yu was busy with other things at home, so naturally there was not much communication.

However, everyone else was impressed by him, especially the financial sponsor whose name he could not remember. When he saw him get in the car, he smiled friendly and said, "Qiao Yu, we meet again."

"Yeah, long time no see." Qiao Yu also greeted them with a smile, feeling a little sad in his heart. He vaguely remembered that this guy could have developed into a good financial sponsor, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance later.

"Master Qiao, I see you on Dyin every day during the summer vacation, that's awesome!" As soon as Qiao Yu finished speaking, Ma Yufei also greeted him.

In the past, he felt that calling Qiao God in front of classmates in the competition class was somewhat beneath his dignity. However, ever since Qiao Yu won the gold medal in the Xiaolibaba Mathematics Competition, Ma Yufei no longer had these concerns. Calling him Qiao God even made their relationship seem closer.

"Brother Ma, when I saw you, I remembered that you still owed me a big meal." Qiao Yu also said casually.

"Of course, let's invite everyone today!" Ma Yufei said happily.

Lan Jie followed Qiao Yu into the car, glanced at the two of them, smiled, and then asked, "Everyone, let's check one last time. Did you bring your ID cards?"

He said he was asking other people, but his eyes were on Qiao Yu. He checked everyone else before they got on the bus, and Qiao Yu was the last one to arrive.

"I have it!" Qiao Yu took out his ID card from his pocket and showed it to Langjie.

After checking Qiao Yu's identity, Lan Jie turned around and said, "Master, drive."

After the car started, he took out five admission tickets from his pocket and distributed them.

"Keep your admission ticket. Don't lose it, or you won't be able to enter the examination room. Let me explain to you again. The competition is based on the college entrance examination model. The inspection is very strict. You can only bring stationery and certificates. The first test is from 8:00 to 9:20 in the morning. You can just move around in the examination room during the 20-minute break after the test.

The second test will start at 9:40 and end at 12:30. I will be waiting for you outside the examination room. Please gather at my place after the test. Remember that?"

In fact, this is what I said to Qiao Yu. Lang Jie had already explained this to the others many times yesterday.

"Remember!" The five children who represented Xingtie No. 1 Middle School in the competition responded in unison.

Then in the car, Ranger talked about some old stuff, which were nothing more than some tips for competition exams.

The first test questions are generally simpler, so you must be extra careful; the second test questions are relatively difficult, so first find the ones you can do, and don't waste too much time on questions you don't understand, etc...

When saying this, Langjie's eyes were still on Qiao Yu most of the time.

After all, the changes this guy brought are visible to the naked eye.

In previous years, when participating in the league, as long as the test site was in Xingcheng, the school generally did not arrange a car. They would set a time and the students would gather at the test site on their own. Only this year, the school specially prepared a seven-seater commercial vehicle for pick-up, which was obviously not for his face.

The traffic in Star City was very congested on Sunday morning, and we arrived at the main campus of Changjun Middle School at 7:10.

Qiao Yu originally thought that they had arrived too early, but when he got off the bus, walked into the Changjun headquarters campus and arrived at the prepared test site, he discovered that candidates from many schools had already arrived.

Moreover, there are only five candidates in Xingtie No. 1 Middle School. Compared with the teams of dozens of people from other schools, it seems very inconspicuous, even weak.

But this also made the good guy feel a lot more relaxed. For example, he casually distributed the admission tickets of five people on the bus.

These teachers have to take attendance and then distribute admission tickets one by one.

Qiao Yu followed the others and found a spot under a tree to stare at the bustling crowd in a daze, until a clear voice caught the attention of the six people: "Brother Qiao Yu."

Such a familiar voice.

Qiao Yu turned his head and saw that classmate Keke was standing less than five meters away from him, still wearing Changjun's school uniform.

Lan Jie glanced at Miss Changjun, then retracted his gaze and said to Qiao Yu, "Go ahead, but don't go too far, because we'll be entering the examination room soon."

"Oh." Qiao Yu agreed and walked over.

Lang Jie glanced at the four children who were following Qiao Yu's gaze, coughed twice, and said, "Okay, stop looking. Use this time to recall the important test points I talked about with you yesterday."

But after saying this, he couldn't help but glance over again.

……

"Why are you here?"

"Come and cheer you up! Are you surprised?"

“What a surprise!”

"Humph, not sincere at all! But it doesn't matter, you have to work hard, don't fail to pass the provincial competition. If you can't go to Yanbei and Huaqing by then, I will laugh at you!"

"Do you want to hear what you are saying? I am a gold medalist. In this provincial competition, if I am given five minutes to read the questions and I can do them with my eyes closed in the remaining time, I can still get first place in the province. Do you believe it?"

“I really don’t believe this!”

Qiao Yu closed his eyes and tried it, then opened his eyes and said with some annoyance: "Well, you are right this time. It is true that you exaggerated a little bit and didn't treat other contestants as human beings. But second place in the province should be enough, right? Do you believe it this time?"

Just one sentence made the girl opposite smile so hard that her eyes curved into crescents.

"Haha...Qiao Yu, seeing you like this makes me feel completely relieved."

Xia Keke knew Qiao Yu well. As long as he made fun of others while joking, it meant that he was 100% confident and not nervous at all.

If he was just joking, it meant that he was actually a little nervous.

"Do I need you to be assured? You should worry about yourself! Let me tell you, our Tieyi High School is incredibly strong this year! Under my encouragement, all the students in our class are aiming for Tsinghua University and Peking University. Now doing the test papers is like playing. You'd better be careful not to fail the college entrance examination!"

"Haha, I believe this. I'll work harder!" Xia Keke raised his fist and swung it hard.

"Is that so..." This little woman didn't speak according to the routine, and Qiao Yu didn't know what to say. Suddenly, he saw that Coco's hair was leaking a little, so he naturally reached out his hand and helped her to smooth her hair behind her ears like when she was a child.

This looks more comfortable.

"Your classmates are watching here!" Xia Keke reminded with a smile.

"Huh?" Qiao Yu turned his head and saw several people, including Teacher Lan, turning their heads collectively. He quickly realized that his previous action was not appropriate, but he still commented calmly: "This is what single people do."

"So you're not?"

"Hurry up and go to class."

"The cram school doesn't start until 7:50! It only takes me ten minutes to walk there slowly."

"But we're about to enter the examination room! You have to give me some time to show off in front of a bunch of single guys, right? Look, except for me, none of them got to enjoy the treatment of the pretty girl cheering for them to cheer!"

"Haha! All right then! But your exams will be over at 12:30 noon, so go shopping with me in the afternoon."

"You don't have classes this afternoon?"

"There are no classes in the afternoon, but there are evening self-study classes in the evening."

Qiao Yu looked at Xia Keke's expectant eyes, and his sense of morality, which had nowhere to hide, still overflowed...

Studying is hard, so if you can take some time out from your busy schedule to give some simple happiness, you’d better not refuse it.

Well, that’s what good people are like, always thinking of giving roses to others so that the fragrance will linger on their hands.

After sighing in his heart, Qiao Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll ask for leave from the good guy after the exam."

"OK, it's a deal then."

Then he suddenly stretched his head and whispered in Qiao Yu's ear: "Little dad, I'm leaving first!"

The hot air made Qiao Yu's ears a little itchy, but the next moment Xia Keke retracted her head, raised her hand and waved at Qiao Yu, then turned around and left happily.

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became angry!
See, this is not what he asked for! It was obviously the little woman who wanted to scream, he was just passive!
Unfortunately there is no evidence!

If that girl doesn't admit it, no one can testify for him!

He returned to his school's team in a depressed mood, and Ma Yufei's eyes looked at him differently again.

His tone was full of envy: "Qiao Shen, is that your girlfriend?"

"Remove the word 'female'! The first rule of the class is no premature love! We are just pure friends!" Qiao Yu explained seriously.

"Ah? Hehe..."

"Okay, stop messing around. We're about to line up to enter the examination room. Pay attention! Qiao Yu, come here and stand at the front." Ranjie, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, said loudly.

But after Qiao Yu stood beside him, Lang Jie still whispered in the tone of an experienced person: "Qiao Yu."

"Ok?"

"That Changjun girl is pretty good."

"Teacher Lan, please listen to my explanation..."

"No need to explain, just listen to me first. Hey..."

Lan Jie sighed and said in the deep tone of someone who has experienced it: "When you go to Yanbei Mathematics College or Yanbei Elite Class, Huaqing Yao Class and other such hellish places, you will find that you can hardly see many girls around you all year round. If there are two girls in a class on average, you are lucky. You can hardly see female professors, so cherish them."

Qiao Yu remained silent. This tone seemed to have a story behind it...

……

There is nothing good to say about the exam.

After the test paper was handed out, Qiao Yu took a quick look and found that the questions were terribly simple.

Langjie had told them that the questions in the first test wouldn't be too difficult, but Qiao Yu really didn't expect them to be so simple.

The only difficulty is probably that there are no multiple-choice questions.

There are only eight fill-in-the-blank questions and three long questions.

Each fill-in-the-blank question is worth eight points, for a total of 64 points. The first question of the big question is worth 16 points, and the next two questions are worth 20 points each, for a total of 56 points. The total score is the same as the high school entrance examination, which is 120 points in total.

It's a game that focuses on details, there's not much to say.

Qiao Yu, who had recently lost points in a question about details of life, slowed down his pace and wrote down all the details for each question clearly. Even so, he only took one hour to finish the test.

Really, Qiao Yu felt that doing this paper was like doing the qualifying questions for the Algebra, Number Theory, and Decimal House Forum. It was not a question of whether it was difficult or not, but simply a matter of piling up various problem-solving routines and tricks together to make the questions extremely complicated.

So after finishing the questions, Qiao Yu was too lazy to look at them a second time, but there was still a second test, so he was too lazy to hand in the paper early. He just lay quietly on the table and closed his eyes to rest.

Competition is not the college entrance examination, and the invigilator will not care. As long as he does not violate the rules, no one will care what Qiao Yu does.

Twenty minutes later, the second test began.

There are only four big questions, the first two questions are 40 points each, and the last two questions are 50 points each, totaling 180 points.

I am too lazy to comment on the difficulty. I can only sigh that the test of how to deal with details is everywhere in life. It is nothing more than the use of various techniques and routines. Compared with the ideas in those mathematical monographs, it is like answering a brain teaser...

Yes, Qiao Yu, who has been focusing on research papers recently, even feels that this way of designing test questions has lost the beauty that mathematics should have.

Only by looking at the papers that Lao Xue chose for him can he feel that mathematics is actually a beautiful art. Those concise yet gorgeous theorem proofs are more attractive to him. As for this kind of competition...

Well, that's enough for this one time.

Next time, even if someone offers him money, he will not bother to participate, unless the other party offers too much for him to refuse!
