Chapter Twenty-Six: Give Me One Hundred More

"Governor Aoi, Nobita Nobi completed the memory portion of the digital marathon one minute ago and would like the staff to provide him with the answer sheet. How can this be resolved?"

After receiving the message from the staff inside the venue, Mitsui's team immediately reported the situation to Aoi Teng, who was watching from the podium. However, what they didn't expect was that Nobita Nobi became more and more abnormal as the competition progressed. The exam papers for the second to last match had only been handed out for a few minutes, and you probably hadn't even had them for two minutes before you started clamoring to hand in your papers and answer the questions. Did you really think you were a robot, able to memorize everything in front of you at a glance?

Despite his complaints, ever since meeting Nobita, Mitsui has been full of confidence in him. This boy possesses many qualities that his peers lack: strong self-confidence, a far-sighted perspective that encompasses the entire planet, and even his maturity in dealing with people is not much different from that of Mitsui himself, a seasoned veteran of the government for decades. Nobita standing in front of him is simply the most contradictory combination in the world. All the excellent qualities found in adults and many great men and saints can be found shining in this small body.

"Hmm, Nobita has finished memorizing the part. The difficulty of the second to last question is acknowledged by American experts. I didn't expect this kid to finish memorizing it so quickly. Quick, give him the answer sheet for this question. I want to see just how far he can go!" Aoi Teng gestured to his staff to cooperate with Nobita's answers according to his instructions.

A genius only appears once every hundred years, and a prodigy only once every thousand years. If Nobita Nobi's previous impression on Aoi Teng was that of a talented but arrogant boy, now Nobita's most direct impression on Aoi Teng is that of a prodigy. Nobita is not only a prodigy who consistently holds the top spot in every match, but what is even more prodigy is that Nobita's attitude towards every match is extremely indifferent, as if it were just eating a bowl of rice or drinking a bottle of water. He doesn't take the match into his heart at all.

"Hmm, have you received instructions from above?" Da Xiong chuckled as he took the answer sheet from the staff member and met the strange looks from the contestants around him who were still frantically memorizing numbers.

"Governor Aoi specifically instructed this for you. He wants to see how well you can perform in the remaining two rounds. I hope you won't disappoint him!" After handing the answer sheet to Da Xiong, the staff member said this softly to Da Xiong's desk and then turned and left without looking back.

"Governor Aoi, it seems you've been targeted by some high-ranking official at the national level. After the competition, they might position you as a model for the country. You're quite a clever person."

Nobita stared at the three thousand blank spaces on the test paper, his fingers gripping the pen and filling them in without even looking. He filled a line with several numbers per second, and in about a minute, the entire sheet was covered in numbers. But even at this speed, Nobita's fingers didn't stop; instead, he focused on the second and third answer sheets in front of him. In less than five minutes, all three answer sheets were filled with numbers. Putting down his pen, Nobita waved and smiled at the staff not far away, indicating that he had finished the competition.

Upon seeing Nobita's signal, the staff immediately collected Nobita's test paper and headed to the test control center to verify Nobita's score. This was not only because the staff wanted to know how many points the boy had scored on the test, which he had completed in just ten minutes, but also because many important figures on the podium were focused on Nobita and were constantly monitoring his progress. All they needed to do now was report Nobita's test results.

Nobita's answer sheets were sent to the examination machine that checked each candidate. In less than thirty seconds, the machine spat out Nobita's three answer sheets. On the answer sheets, four bright red numbers shone brightly, shocking everyone present. The first of these four bright red numbers was 3.

The score of 3000 was immediately displayed by the machine. Nobita completed the memorization and answering sections in just ten minutes—unbelievably, he made absolutely no mistakes, his answers were exactly the same as the correct ones. It's estimated that only Nobita could achieve that level of performance. Thankfully, this was done quietly, without causing a commotion. Otherwise, if the other test-takers knew about Nobita's performance, they wouldn't be far from giving up. Finishing the competition in ten minutes? It's practically a joke! Competing against someone like that is just making Nobita look good; it's incredibly discouraging and demoralizing.

Sitting quietly in the arena, Da Xiong waited until the end of the competition. As expected, Da Xiong's score of 3000 points far surpassed Sarkozy's. Sarkozy made nine mistakes, resulting in a score of 2100. Lisa, perhaps having deliberately trained in this event, scored even higher than Sarkozy, reaching 2500 points, and only made five mistakes. The second competition, which was close to the finals, caused a dramatic change in the total scores of the three.

First place. Lisa: 6475

Second place. Sarkozy: 6090

Third place. Nobita Nobita: 6000

………………

Lisa overtook Sarkozy to become number one, going from a perennial runner-up. Sarkozy, who was in second place, was only 90 points ahead of Nobita, who was in third. The gap between the three players had almost been narrowed to a single line, and the match point was almost entirely on the last game.

With the conclusion of the first digital marathon, the second and final competition, compared to the previous competitions, featured a more flexible and engaging format called Infinite Poker.

The memorization time for this competition is the same as before, one hour, 5.5 points. However, contestants can choose the content and intensity of their memorization. Each contestant can choose one or more decks of cards to memorize their order. If a deck of cards is memorized correctly, a contestant can get a super high score of 520 points. If a single card is misremembered, the entire deck of cards will not be scored. In addition, contestants can choose an unlimited number of cards to memorize in order to increase their score.

"The final match has finally arrived. Let's put all the gains and losses of the past two days into this one game."

Da Xiong remained calm as he scanned the players on the field. Most of them held no more than five decks of cards, with only a few having six or seven decks scattered around. Da Xiong then smiled at the staff, who were startled, wondering what kind of mischief this smiling devil was up to now.

"Hmm, give me another hundred sets..."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The World's Youngest Memory Master

"Could you please add another hundred decks of cards for me..."

The staff standing not far from Nobita were completely stunned. This prodigy, whenever he makes a move, it's always something big! In general, the best result in international competitions like this is only five decks of cards. Even Lisa, who was present, only managed to challenge seven decks. This prodigy, Nobita, started with a hundred decks right away. It's practically like he's cheating on the score.

Although the rules of the competition allow players to choose any number of playing cards without any limit, no one has ever played like Da Xiong, who chooses one hundred decks at once. If he can remember all one hundred decks of cards correctly, Da Xiong can get an incredible score of 52000 points in this one category alone. It is estimated that no one will be able to surpass Da Xiong's score for hundreds of years.

Although the staff were surprised, judging from Nobita's usual style, he wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of. He said he wanted a hundred decks of cards, and he really would make a hundred decks of cards to show everyone. Although they had only known Nobita for a short time, the staff around him inexplicably believed that Nobita could create such a miracle.

After Da Xiong's request was relayed, the organizers immediately brought in one hundred decks of playing cards for the competition and placed them in front of him. The one hundred unopened decks of cards piled up on Da Xiong's table, forming a magnificent little mountain. The other contestants were all stunned by Da Xiong's astonishing feat when they saw the mountain of cards in front of him. 52 cards, four suits, 13 sub-categories, one hundred decks of cards equals 5200 cards. Is this really something a human could accomplish?

After receiving a hundred decks of cards, Nobita scanned them with his mental energy and immediately understood the situation of the small mountain of cards in front of him. He didn't even need to open the packaging; he had a complete grasp of the suits and order of the 5200 cards in the hundred decks.

However, to avoid scaring the others, Nobita carefully unfolded all the playing cards in front of him and casually spread them out. He immediately understood the contents of a deck of cards. In just five minutes, Nobita quickly disassembled all one hundred decks of cards, which also meant that he had completed the first part of the memory challenge.

"Memory ends..."

After dismantling the last deck of cards, Nobita spread his hands, indicating that he had completed the memorization part of the deck. He needed the staff to provide the answer sheets for the next round of the competition to answer the final questions. The staff did not dare to be careless and immediately submitted the application, then brought Nobita a thick stack of answer sheets and gently placed them in front of him.

There were over a hundred answer sheets in total. Nobita completed the work of dozens of people by himself. But it was precisely because of this amount of work that the workload of answering the questions was enormous. If you didn't remember clearly or wrote too slowly, you might not even finish the whole competition.

However, it's only thanks to Nobita that he could manage to handle a hundred decks of cards. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have been able to finish copying the answers in the second part and would have died on the first part of memorizing the information.

With the answer sheets in hand, Nobita didn't dare to be careless. The situation with a hundred decks of cards was already imprinted in his mind. The more troublesome thing now was the problem of more than five thousand words. The workload was not small when all the words were written in bits and pieces. He picked up the two pens on the table and, even more abnormally, started writing on the answer sheets with both hands. In an instant, the two answer sheets were pushed out by Nobita's palms, and he turned to fill in the two answer sheets below.

"This……"

Several television stations broadcast the final day of the competition. In the first match, Nobita's incredible performance shocked the entire nation of Japan. His calm and composed demeanor left an indelible impression on everyone in Japan. In the second match, Nobita went even further, taking on a hundred decks of cards. This ignited the passion of the Japanese people, who had been struggling against the American team in the previous matches. They saw him as a national hero and eagerly hoped that Nobita could turn the tide, save the final match, and win back Japan's international standing and dignity.

Now, Nobita's ability to instantly open the cards and work with both hands almost like a performance astonished the TV anchors. "Is this a competition or a show? Does it have to be this exciting?" Nobita filled in the answer sheet with both hands, his eyes half-closed, and the smile that kept creeping onto his lips hit everyone watching on TV. Everyone who saw Nobita couldn't help but think of the phrase "a peerless gentleman." Compared to the other contestants, Nobita was simply too outstanding, so outstanding that it could be described as terrifying.

"Dr. Okubo, what are your thoughts on Nobita Nobi's final match?"

Despite Nobita's excellent performance, to prevent the live broadcast from becoming too dry, Ran Aoi, the host of TV Asahi 963, picked up the microphone and asked a question to today's special guest, Professor Tite Okubo, a professor of human behavior at the University of Tokyo, in an attempt to liven up the atmosphere of the broadcast.

"How can I watch? Just watch with my eyes. Viewers in front of the TV, don't miss what's coming next. Based on my years of experience, I think Nobita is about to finish the competition. If I remember correctly, he will be the first person in human history to memorize one hundred decks of unlimited playing cards in half an hour. At that time, Nobita will probably be able to join the ranks of world memory masters just by relying on this skill. Even I have to marvel at this boy's achievement."

Watching Nobita work on his answer sheet through the monitor, Okubo Tite was astonished by Nobita's demeanor. Although Okubo Tite had studied human behavior for many years, Nobita's unhurried, pressure-free approach to scribbling on the answer sheet gave Okubo Tite a sense of transcendence. This boy didn't seem to care about the competition at all; instead, he was enjoying every little thing that happened during the competition. This talent and ability were simply terrifying; his intelligence level definitely surpassed the peak of human potential...

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Competition Ends

The final match continued, and Nobita's writing speed, achieved with both hands, increased rapidly, almost reaching the limit of human observation. Viewers watching the live broadcast of Nobita's answers were all shocked by his incredible performance. This kid not only had a freakish memory, but his physical abilities were also top-notch. Indeed, some prodigies can attract everyone's attention from the very first moment they reveal their true nature. Nobita's strength was enough to easily defeat all the masters in the world who had made achievements in memory.

Not counting the memorization part, there are over 5,000 answer sheets. For a normal person, it would take several hours to complete them all. However, Nobita, who has an unlimited cheat code, memorized all 100 decks of cards in five minutes. He spent the rest of the time memorizing the recitation part of the 5,000+ cards. It can be said that Nobita spent most of his time on the unimportant card opening and writing. Otherwise, his score could have been much higher.

Finally, Nobita smoothly finished writing down all the memory cards representing one hundred decks of playing cards. After mentally checking them again to confirm that everything was correct, Nobita put down the competition pen he was tightly holding in his hands, stood in the center of the square, and waved lightly towards the leader's platform.

Nobita's unintentional action immediately captivated everyone present. He had already memorized and recited the entire 100 decks of cards. Now, everyone was eager to see just how far he had progressed. They all hoped that Nobita could create a world record that was unprecedented and would surpass all the geniuses in the world.

"Governor Aoi, Nobita Nobi has completed the memorization and recitation of all one hundred decks of cards. Our people are currently collecting all of Nobita Nobi's answer sheets for this competition. We expect to know his specific results within five minutes. Should we make a media announcement?"

After Nobita's stack of answer sheets was collected by the staff, the Mitsui team immediately received the news and reported to Aoi Teng at the podium. This final match was not only Nobita's battle for glory, but also represented the final national sports competition between Japan and the United States. The Japanese team had been completely wiped out in this match except for Nobita. Now, the first and second place scores were both occupied by the United States team. Although the difference in points was not far, it did not mean that they could not be overtaken. Now, only if Nobita created a brilliant performance could he turn the tide and help the Japanese team win a round.

One hundred answer sheets of various sizes were sent to a room specifically used to check the results of the competition. The room was open on all sides and equipped with seven or eight cameras, ensuring that the marking process was monitored without any blind spots. Da Xiong's answer sheets passed through the machine one by one under the monitoring. Each time a sheet passed through the machine, it would beep, and each beep would resonate in the hearts of those watching the whole process through the cameras.

Answer sheets flowed through the machine like water, and in less than a few minutes, all the answer sheets were checked and graded by the machine. When the last sheet passed through the machine, Nobita's score was immediately tallied. Just as many people had predicted, Nobita had indeed achieved the score represented by those one hundred answer sheets.

Name: Nobi Nobita

Number of answer sheets: 100

Score: 52000 points

Upon seeing the scores represented by Da Xiong's hundred answer sheets, all the Japanese staff present erupted in cheers. Words could not express the excitement and exhilaration they felt. One by one, the Ministry of Education staff, dressed in suits and ties, frantically took off their coats, waved them in front of the cameras, and shouted and celebrated wildly.

The staff's frenzy did not affect the progress of the competition. Da Xiong's results were still delivered to Aoi Teng and the others as soon as possible. The moment they received Da Xiong's results, the elderly people from the Ministry of Education on the podium trembled with excitement.

Nobita Nobi, the person represented by these four simple Chinese characters, created a new history. When the Japanese team was in its most difficult time, he single-handedly defeated the entire opposing team. Looking at the history of the world, only Nobita, this monstrous genius, could be so incredibly powerful.

"Quickly, quickly send Nobita's report card to all the TV stations and radio stations in the country. I want all the people of Japan to remember this day, to remember that Japan has a national genius named Nobita." Aoi Ten held Nobita's report card tightly and refused to let go. If he could, he would like to go back, frame it, and hang it on the wall to commemorate this most meaningful day of his life.

Nobita's results were quickly disseminated through official channels. If nothing unexpected happened, Nobita would be firmly in first place in this competition, and even in all five competitions. It was unlikely that anyone could challenge Nobita's incredible performance. With a hundred decks of cards, it was estimated that the combined total of everyone else in the competition would only be exactly equal to Nobita's, assuming no one made any mistakes.

"What?! Nobita's grades are out!"

Aoi Sora, the host of Asahi Shimbun, the only official television station designated to broadcast the competition, immediately learned about Nobita Nobi's score through an inside contact. She stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, looking utterly incredulous.

"The results are out! Quick, tell me!" Professor Okubo, who was sitting calmly next to Aoi Sora, excitedly stood up from his chair after hearing Nobita's score of defeating a hundred enemies by himself and rushed to Aoi Sora to ask.

"Nobita Nobi, perfect score, 52000 points."

After receiving Nobita's score from the director, Aoi Sora stared blankly and subconsciously read it aloud towards the camera, which startled everyone present. It all happened so fast and so realistically.

After receiving the note with Nobita's score from Aoi Sora, Okubo Tite was also bewildered. This situation would seem unbelievable to anyone. Having observed human behavior for many years, Okubo Tite knew that it was already difficult for humans to complete five decks of cards in an extremely short time. One hundred decks of cards was beyond the scope of ordinary humans. Although he had hoped that Nobita could complete it, the feeling when it actually happened was indescribable.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: World-Famous

Nobita's final match result brought Asahi Shimbun not only the astonishment of the pinnacle of human intelligence, but more directly, the match was broadcast live on television to the entire nation and even the world watching the match.

In the Asahi Shimbun's backstage control room, rows of live television data were faxed to the people eagerly awaiting the ratings of the match.

Taro Aso, the director of the television station who had been advocating that the station spend a lot of money to buy out the competition, clenched his fist tightly. He knew that this competition, which only lasted a few hours, had cost the station an entire quarter's worth of program purchase funds. If those funds were used to buy popular dramas, it could raise the station's ratings for the entire year by a level, making the station's ratings report for the next year look very good, and advertisers' investment would gradually increase.

Taro Aso was gambling. Ever since he took charge of the television station's program content, he had paid special attention to social news and hot topics. In particular, after seeing the intellectual duel between Japan and the United States in the newspaper, he realized that this was definitely a perfect piece of content to generate social buzz.

However, if the TV station broadcasts this program live, it will also have to bear the uncontrollable factors in this competition. You know, if the Japanese side wins the competition, it will be fine, but if they are completely crushed by the United States and bully 980 like a son, then they will not only face a collapse in ratings, but may also face the accusations of the entire Japanese people. At that time, it will not be enough to just resign. They may even have to commit seppuku or jump off a building to take responsibility.

He was gambling, betting that this match would produce a breakthrough, a miracle. Fortunately, he was right. In this match, despite the huge gap in strength between Japan and the United States, Nobita Nobi emerged as an extraordinary genius who single-handedly crushed the two American team's geniuses.

What's even more newsworthy is that Nobita achieved such results despite missing one match for unknown reasons. The whole process was full of twists and turns, keeping viewers glued to their screens as they eagerly awaited the announcement of Nobita's results.

"Quick, quick, check the real-time ratings!" Taro Aso, his fists clenched and sweaty, shouted as he squeezed through the fax machine in the control room.

"Director, the ratings for the competition are out! The average rating is 45.3. The ratings peaked at 51.2 when the host announced Da Xiong's score. Director, you did it!" The TV station employee, who was monitoring the ratings at the fax machine, couldn't help but get excited as he held up the ratings chart. This ratings chart was incredibly important to the TV station at that moment.

"What?! An average viewership rating of 45.3 and a peak rating of 51.2!" Taro Aso listened to the results reported to him by his staff in the control room, his face filled with disbelief. He simply couldn't believe that this happiness had come so suddenly.

Originally, I thought a 20% viewership rating would be pretty good, but who knew that the final episode would break through all the barriers, averaging 45.3%, which is two points higher than the finale of the highest-rated drama in Japanese history. The most terrifying thing is that the highest viewership rating reached 51.2%, which means that in Japan, a country with only 100 million people, at least 50 million people, half of the country's population, were watching this game.

Without a doubt, Taro Aso won big in this high-stakes gamble on ratings with Nobita Nobi. If nothing unexpected happens, with these ratings and achievements, he will at least be promoted to the top rank at the TV station next year, or even close to the highest position in the entire station. Just thinking about it makes Taro Aso feel excited, as if he has become ten years younger, and he is full of indescribable energy.

"Quickly, contact the competition venue immediately. Our TV station wants to do an exclusive interview with the players from the Neon Team (AGFF) in this competition, especially that genius Nobita Nobi who turned the tide. Whether the ratings can continue to climb depends on your success."

Taro Aso immediately stood up from his chair and directed the backstage staff to arrange the post-match television interviews, hoping to capitalize on the hype surrounding the match and once again boost the television station's ratings.

"Yes, yes, Director." Upon hearing Taro Aso's order, the employee in charge of external communications for the television station rushed out of the backstage area with a burst of excitement. He knew that if they could really invite the Japanese team and Nobita Nobi from this competition, the station's ratings would probably surge again, and his year-end bonus would be secured. Thinking of this, Akio Hata, like Taro Aso and everyone else in the backstage area, felt an indescribable surge of energy. They were all looking forward to another television miracle.

The TV station was in a flurry of activity as the competition results were announced, while at the competition venue, the final scoring and awards ceremony was underway. Thanks to Nobita's incredible performance, the Japanese team had completely dominated the American team, leaving the American coach and leaders speechless with anger. Who would have thought that a competition that was supposed to damage Japan's national prestige would be turned around by an unassuming elementary school student?

Unexpectedly, this elementary school student from Japan was able to completely defeat the American team, whose members had been selected countless times, leaving them utterly helpless. What's more, the morale of the entire Japanese team soared like it had been given a dose of fertilizer as Nobita Nobi won time and time again, and their performance improved by leaps and bounds. The carefully prepared plan was completely ruined.

"Now we are in the final stage of the competition. The organizers will present special honors to the top three winners. Please welcome Mr. Aoi, the Governor of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, and Mr. Steve, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, to present the awards to the winners!"

Inside the venue, a young host in a black uniform was passionately broadcasting the news to viewers. It was clear that after seeing Nobita and his team's victory, the host's spirits soared to new heights, and a sense of pride welled up from the bottom of his heart. Through the host's expression, it was evident that the expressions on the faces of every audience member were identical to his.

At this moment, there is only pride, and only excitement.
