You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 186: Live Stream of Advanced Mathematics?
The plane landed at Pudong International Airport very quickly.

After a long flight, Ming Jing's feet even felt slightly unsteady when they touched the ground.

My cousin and the leaders from Tencent Sports were already waiting for a long time in the arrival hall.

In addition, many fans even found out EDG's flight schedule through various channels and formed a large circle behind them. After seeing the EDG team return, they created quite a stir.

Every team that wins the championship representing their region is a hero and deserves to be welcomed with flowers and a red carpet.

This made Ming Jing feel a little uncomfortable; it was truly the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

After all, last year's S-series tournament was held in Shanghai, and after the tournament, he went straight back to Jiangcheng to prepare for the math competition, so he didn't see anyone at the airport.

Ming Jing adapted well; he simply nodded and greeted the fans who came to pick him up.

At this moment, leaders from all sides also came over. Jin Yibo, the leader in charge, immediately found Ming Jing and praised his perfect performance at this MSI. Then he insisted on dragging the EDG team to attend the celebration banquet hosted by Tencent.

Ming Jing had been flying for over ten hours and just wanted to get some sleep, but he had no choice but to go eat first.

At the celebration banquet, the leader raised his glass, praising the present and looking to the future, his tone full of pride.

For athletes, winning a championship may just be an honor, since it doesn't bring any extra benefits in the short term, at most affecting their contract fees for the following year.

But for the leaders, every championship LPL wins is real money in their eyes!
In Jin Yibo's eyes, what's the difference between Ming Jing, who has won FMVP, and a cash cow?
Ming Jing wasn't interested in this at all. These kinds of celebratory banquets were quite a torment for him. He just kept eating in silence. If someone came, he wasn't shy and would just smile and say a few words.

Zhu Kai, who was in charge of the team at the time, found his main battlefield. He was drinking and chatting with several leaders on the side, and occasionally said things like, "It's mainly because the league's youth training is well done, otherwise Mingjing would not have had the opportunity to rise." He made the leaders very happy.

The rest of the EDG players listened helplessly, but had nothing to say.

It wasn't until after the banquet ended that the EDG team returned to their base by car, finally finding peace.

But Mingjing's journey is not over yet.

Just one night later, Mingjing and his cousin Mingkai set off again for Hongqiao Airport.

It's definitely best to spend this two-week holiday at home!
Sitting in the airport waiting room, Ming Jing took out his phone and typed rapidly, asking Song Xuan for his address so he could mail the lipstick he had bought to him.

This time, Song Xuan sent an address in the capital city, which pointed directly to a well-known university.

Clearly, the other side has already entered the preparation stage for the IMO.

Ming Jing thought for a moment, then continued typing, "When is the exam? Is it broadcast live?"

"How could there be a live stream?" came the reply quickly. "You're supposed to be a competition candidate, how can you not even know this!"

"Of course I don't know," Ming Jing said frankly. "I never intended to join the IMO in the first place."

Mingjing chose the path of competitions simply to get into a good university. His family's goal has always been to get him into Tsinghua or Peking University through direct admission or with a reduced score requirement.

As for IMO and the like, I've never even thought about it, nor dared to.

Unlike Song Xuan, who had a detailed future plan immediately drawn up after showing his talent in junior high school.

After all, Ming Jing's family wasn't wealthy. He attended ordinary primary and junior high schools, and being able to get into Huazhong Normal University Affiliated High School was already a testament to his outstanding talent.

"Keep it up!" Messages from Mingjing kept coming in. "Waiting for your good news!"

"Okay, no problem, don't worry!" Song Xuan typed quickly, then asked, "Will you participate in the CMO competition at the end of this year?"

Unexpectedly, Ming Jing replied with another question mark, "? I didn't even register for the math competition this year, how can I participate in the CMO?"

Last year, Mingjing was simultaneously undergoing youth training and taking exams, passing the preliminary and national rounds of the National Mathematics Competition in succession, before he could participate in the CMO held at the end of each year after the S-level competition.

Upon seeing this, Song Xuan understood that Ming Jing probably had no idea that there were multiple ways to participate in the CMO. In addition to the traditional National Middle School Mathematics Competition, there were other leagues that offered direct admission, such as Deng Leyan's participation as a newly enrolled first-year high school student.

Then, the 60 students selected each year can directly participate in the following year's CMO without taking an exam. Of course, this is on the condition that they are still high school students the following year.

Upon hearing Song Xuan's explanation, Ming Jing felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Good heavens, is that true?
Even the teachers at the national team didn't tell me!

Ming Jing replied with a few dots, then typed, "I'll have to ask my family about that."

Upon reading the message, Song Xuan felt a pang of regret, lamenting that Ming Jing truly didn't care about math competitions at all, relying solely on talent to take things one step at a time.

If Mingjing had received the same high-quality education and detailed life planning as her or Deng Leyan, the top player in the national server, from a young age, would his life trajectory have taken a completely different path?
Of course, one thing is certain: with Mingjing's talent, no matter which path he chooses, his future will be bright.

Ming Jing scratched his head. After thinking for a moment, he simply found the WeChat account of his homeroom teacher, Zheng Hu, and inquired about the situation.

But I got the same answer.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Mingjing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I didn't expect you to not even know this," the homeroom teacher said, sounding somewhat helpless.

Zheng Hu was also puzzled. After all, Ming Jing still had a spot in next year's CMO competition, but he had never consulted him about math-related matters in the past six months. Zheng Hu thought that Ming Jing had temporarily put math aside.

Given Mingjing's current achievements, it's understandable that he would set aside mathematics.

But now it seems that Ming Jing had no idea at all?
That's truly amazing.

"Anyway, there are still six months until the CMO position, so it's not too late to pick it up again." The homeroom teacher simply sent a voice message, "If you have any ideas about this, you can contact me."

"OK," Ming Jing replied quickly.

The plane took off quickly and landed at Tianhe Airport. Mingjing then informed his parents of the news.

As expected, the two parents were also shocked by this.

Is that so?

"So what do you think?" Mom asked. "Do you still want to participate?"

If it were Mingjing last year, his mother would certainly advise him not to give up his studies.

But times have changed, and Mingjing has already achieved some success in League of Legends, winning multiple FMVP awards, and his future looks promising.

On the other side, in mathematics, Ming Jing also achieved a key milestone: he secured a spot in Peking University through a guaranteed admission program. If he were to put it aside for the time being, it would be perfectly fine.

Upon hearing this, Ming Jing replied without hesitation, "Of course I'll continue participating!"

The main reason Mingjing temporarily put mathematics aside was because of the conflict between the competition and the schedule. If Mingjing wanted to continue participating in the LPL competition, he would inevitably be unable to participate in the mathematics competition.

This still left Mingjing quite disappointed.

After all, learning is like rowing against the current. If you keep putting math aside, even if you have a superb memory and learning ability, you are destined to fall far behind.

If he continues to regress like this, even if he goes on to study mathematics, he probably won't achieve much and will most likely choose to change his major.

If possible, he would certainly like to pursue mathematics to the end, and even better, achieve something significant.

But now he knows about the double-win method, which allows him to skip the math competition and directly participate in the CMO competition, which is held after the S-series at the end of the year.

What else is there to say?

During last year's national team training, Ming Jing finished tenth in the country, but he could feel that he was not far from the top five. If he could do it again, he might really have a chance!
Let's go for it!
Mingkai, who had come to the house with his cousin, listened to his cousin's words with a hint of admiration in his voice.

He didn't intend to stop his cousin from doing this.

Last year's journey has proven that Mingjing is fully capable of operating on two fronts.

Moreover, Mingkai also understood that his cousin's terrifying gaming talent was, to some extent, based on his mathematical ability.

Since that's the case, let it be.

Ming Jing has always been a capable leader, and he deeply understands that the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second best time is now. So, that very day, he asked his homeroom teacher, Zheng Hu, for a large number of practice questions, planning to work through them thoroughly during his break.

Moreover, I must say that it's been a long time since I've done math problems. Now that I'm back to practicing, even though my problem-solving approach is still a bit clumsy, I actually feel a sense of relief!

For Mingjing, mathematics and games have always been complementary and mutually supportive.

If Mingjing encountered something he didn't understand, he would summarize it and ask Song Xuan about it when Song Xuan was resting at night. Song Xuan, of course, had no reservations about this and answered all his questions.

There were only six spots in the IMO, and the other five were all boys who were complete strangers to each other. Song Xuan found it difficult to talk to anyone and was feeling suffocated every day. She longed to chat with Ming Jing as much as possible.

She would even share the points she learned in class with Mingjing via voice, which further accelerated Mingjing's rehabilitation process.

Of course, he can't spend all his rest time studying.

A few days later, Abu found him and suggested that he start a live stream if he had nothing else to do.

"You're so popular right now, you must be making a lot of money every day you stream! You have nothing else to do anyway, so don't turn down some money."

Listening to Abu's words, Mingjing also felt that there was some truth to them.

Since I'm staying home all day and not going out, I might as well do a live stream!

So Mingjing, armed with countless past exam papers, began his first live stream after winning the MSI championship!

Ming Jing's start of broadcasting came suddenly, catching Douyu off guard.

However, Douyu adjusted quickly, immediately deploying massive traffic resources, including various mobile push notifications, homepage announcements, and pinned live streams.

With a huge influx of traffic, coupled with Mingjing's account already having a massive number of active fans, the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed within just ten minutes of starting, quickly surpassing 10,000 and rapidly approaching the 100,000 mark!

On the entire Douyu platform, it's extremely rare for a live stream to have over 100,000 viewers!
With such a huge influx of viewers, the live stream even experienced buffering.

Douyu had to take further action to divert viewers and comments, which helped stabilize the live streaming experience.

Even after the stream was split, the comments continued to scroll at a rapid pace, even filling the entire screen!
[Holy crap, they suddenly started streaming?!]

Wow, Xiaofei is really good at streaming! I thought he'd only stream all day to promote the skins.

[Feibao, promise me you'll broadcast more often, okay?]

In the live stream, Ming Jing appears to be fiddling with the camera feed, zooming in and projecting it onto the table in front of him.

Many viewers were wondering what Ming Jing was up to.

Streaming without playing League of Legends?

As the camera footage settled, the results shocked countless viewers.

Wow, are you doing practice problems live on stream?
Moreover, after Mingjing started his live stream, he didn't say anything. He just lay there writing, often filling an entire sheet of paper with his writing. You couldn't see a single Chinese character in the whole thing. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was an English test paper.

The vast majority of viewers in the live stream couldn't understand it; they were dizzy and overwhelmed by all the formulas, numbers, and symbols.

But perhaps the viewers in the live stream just like this kind of thing. Under this strange live streaming method, the number of live streams has not decreased but increased, steadily moving towards the 100,000 mark.

Even the gifts in the live stream room were constantly being sent, with rockets being launched one after another!
[Damn, solving advanced math problems live? Xiaofei is unbeatable!]

[Huh? This is a math problem? I thought it was an English problem.]

Wait, what is this even about? I'm a math major and I can't understand it at all!

These are IMO-level exam questions; it's normal that someone like you, a math major from a second-tier university, can't understand them.

[Could the host explain the thought process behind this?]

Just then, Ming Jing looked up, glanced at the comments, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Tell me about it?" Ming Jing thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, but I can only talk about the first two questions. I haven't figured out the third one yet."

After saying that, Mingjing zoomed in on the live stream camera to clearly display the question.

He then began to speak eloquently.

“第一题还是很简单的，首先我们证明偶数满足条件。若α=2m，其中为m为整数，则α+2α++mα=2m+4m++2mn=mn（n+1）.然后这一点可以证明.”

At this moment, countless people were still pouring into the live stream.

Many people came for Mingjing's game live stream, but when they came in and saw Mingjing lecturing on advanced mathematics, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

But they quickly adapted and joined the learning group.

Whether you understand it or not, just listen!

After explaining the first two questions, Mingjing ended his lecture for the day and moved on to studying the third question.

This study lasted for four hours.

But instead of Mingjing writing it down, it was lunchtime.

The third question was too difficult; I had absolutely no idea how to approach it.

At this moment, Mom had already prepared dinner and was calling Mingjing to come and eat.

Ming Jing simply put away the exam paper, planning to wait for Song Xuan to come and explain it to him that evening.

He restored the camera to normal and then launched the Korean server client.

Since the brothers have been waiting for so long, it wouldn't be right not to play a ranked match.

Upon seeing this, the 100,000 viewers in the live stream immediately became excited again!

Wow, after waiting all afternoon, we can finally start playing games!
Mingjing acted quickly, logging in and immediately starting ranked matches.

He's still ranked high in the Korean server, with his ranked game time increasing by 15 minutes or more.

During the ranking time, Ming Jing got up to go eat, leaving 100,000 viewers alone on their chairs for more than ten minutes.

When they returned after dinner, the number of viewers in the live stream had increased to 110,000.

Mingjing hadn't been sitting for long when a confirmation window popped up in front of him.

"Here we are, brothers!" Ming Jing laughed. "Let's aim for number one on the Korean server these next few days. Learn from this, brothers, it'll come in handy when you're aiming for number one on the Korean server in the future!"

He clicked "OK," and the ranked match began!
However, the moment they went in, the show started.

Mingjing unfortunately had to fill the jungle role.

It's worth mentioning, however, that the mid-lane teammate in this game was clearly shown as Hide on bush.

Turtle, Flyco, and Little Fly, a perfect flying duo!
Mingjing had been matched with Faker quite a few times, so he was already used to it. When he was filling in for jungle, he thought for a moment and decided to just pick Lee Sin, which he had been practicing recently at MSI, and show off his skills to the brothers in the live stream.

Faker, of course, recognized who his Lee Sin was and immediately locked in Syndra, intending to level up alongside Mingjing.

Although Faker has never officially faced Mingjing before, he can tell from watching the matches that Mingjing is very strong, comparable to Faker at his peak!
His arrogant and domineering laning style, determined to crush his opponents, is almost identical to his style when he was young!
Working with this kind of person requires him to be extremely attentive.

And once the game begins, the entertainment value increases even more.

The loading screen displays the IDs of the five people on the other side.

Mid-lane Twisted Fate: MIDKING
Jungle Nidalee: JUGKING
This is a double-pronged attack against DK's mid and jungle!
