The time hand slowly turned to three o'clock in the afternoon. The hotel lobby where the five foreign high school students lived was already full of cameras. Dozens of reporters had been waiting here early. Outside the circled "red line", there were even more people surrounding them.

The audience included not only local high school students and college students in the capital, but also die-hard fans who flew in from other provinces early in the morning to support Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

Many young foreigners studying or living in the capital also came here after hearing the news, causing the hotel's originally extremely spacious lobby to be crowded with people.

The lobby manager of the hotel was happy to receive an advertisement for free, but also had a headache to maintain order on site. Fortunately, the National Olympic Organizing Committee had foreseen such a heated situation and arranged for many staff to come over to maintain order.

That's why there was no trouble.

The five foreign high school students had been flipping through magazines boredly. The youngest Thom yawned and said: "I think we are doing something stupid. We have been waiting here for an hour and no one dares to challenge us. And they

He doesn’t keep his word, and he doesn’t admit defeat even if he loses.”

Arpad put down the magazine in his hand and said, "Wait for half an hour. I heard that they have some very powerful high school students coming, just in time to kill the boring time."

Thom shook his head and said: "Haha, a very powerful high school student? Could it be better than their country's Mathematical Olympiad training team? To be honest, there is no sense of achievement in defeating such a weak team. We might as well go to the Bear Country."

Qilute smiled and said: "I think it's pretty cool that tens of millions of high school students in a country are afraid to challenge like this, isn't it?"

Several American high school students spoke with confidence and loud voices. Basically, the people who came here to watch the game had good English proficiency. At that moment, someone retorted angrily in English: "Why are you so arrogant? Ours

Qin Shen will arrive soon, and then you will be defeated!"

Another American high school student, last year's IMO silver medalist Eba, curled his lips disdainfully and said: "QIN SHEN? Hahaha, what a weird name. OK, let's wait a little longer. If this QIN SHEN also loses, won't you?

Just refuse to pay and admit that you are a 'low-IQ yellow-skinned monkey'?"

"That's nonsense, Qin Shen can't possibly be defeated!"

Eba sneered: "Ha, this QIN SHEN you are talking about has participated in IMO? What award has it won?"

"...He is the first place in our national competition!"

Several American high school students looked at each other and laughed contemptuously.

The surrounding Xiaguo high school students and the audience were all indignant, but they could not refute it. After all, Qin Shen has not participated in IMO yet. The highest award he has ever won is the first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad. Compared with the IMO gold medal, it is indeed a bit less.

Got some confidence.

Someone immediately encouraged their companions: "So what! It's not like our Xia Kingdom has never won IMO gold medals in the past century, but Qin Shen is the only one who has broken the century-old National Mathematical Olympiad record and achieved a perfect score!"

"Yes, our God Qin just hasn't participated in IMO yet. As long as we participate, we will definitely get the gold medal!"

In the midst of this commotion, someone suddenly shouted excitedly: "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are here!"

In an instant, the entire lobby became quiet, and countless eyes turned to the door of the hotel.

I saw two young men and women wearing summer uniforms of Sakura Garden Private High School entering side by side.

The young man is extremely tall and handsome, but his hair is naturally curly, which makes his hairstyle look a bit messy. He has a lazy and uninhibited smile on his face, but he is very approachable and makes people fall in love with him easily.

The girl next to him has a tall and slightly proud single ponytail, a small face as delicate and perfect as white porcelain, pure and charming, and a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes as bright as stars. Although she is only wearing an ordinary blue and white summer dress, short shirt and trousers, she is even more

Without any makeup, she easily attracted the attention of all men.

"Qin Shen, really Qin Shen!"

"Classmate Ning is even more beautiful than what I saw on TV! My heart is so excited!"

"Qin Shen, classmate Ning, come on! Defeat the arrogant American high school students!"

Qin Ke smiled and waved to everyone in response, and then took Ning Qingyun and sat down across from the five American high school students.

Eba looked at the two of them and said unexpectedly: "Are you here to challenge? There are only two of you?"

Qin Ke showed a very friendly and kind smile, but his words were sharp: "To deal with just five of you, the two of us together are too much."

As soon as he said these words, the whole place was silent, and then burst into warm cheers and cheers:

"Qin Shen is domineering! Qin Shen V5!"

"I feel so relieved after hearing these words. Qin Shen's style is so rough and refreshing!"

"Qin Shen's English is very good, and his speaking ability is off the charts!"

Some people are worried. After all, the rule is that each side has five questions, and the winner is determined by the number of questions completed within thirty minutes. If there are only Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun on their side, it means that each person has to do 2.5 questions.

Compared with the opponent doing one question alone, he is undoubtedly at a disadvantage! Although Qin Shen does this to give people a good feeling, it is actually a bit unsafe!

Thom shook his head and smiled at his companion: "Is this kid crazy? Or does he know that he will lose and use this as a way to get off the ground? Two against five, he probably doesn't know our strength."

Fernando, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, and he said calmly: "If there are only two of you, then I will be the one to fight here."

His tone was calm, but his arrogance could not be concealed at all.

Qin Ke glanced at him: "Are you Fernando? Last year's IMO gold medal?"

Fernando and Qin Ke's eyes met: "Exactly. What kind of QIN SHEN are you?"

"I don't want to be the 'Qin God'. My name is Qin Ke. I think you are also a very proud person. How about we have a warm-up match first? After the warm-up match, you can decide whether to accept the 2VS5 I just proposed."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fernando raised some interest: "What kind of warm-up match?"

"You and I each give a question, and whoever answers it first wins."

Fernando suddenly grinned. He had an ordinary appearance, but at this time his smile was a bit arrogant and powerful: "Interesting, this is the one-on-one challenge that your Xia Kingdom often talks about? I accept it."

Qin Ke smiled and said: "Oh, I forgot to mention that I set the questions in the warm-up competition, and the one who answered the questions was student Ning here."

Everyone was shocked again. Ning Qingyun will deal with Fernando?

Fernando was the IMO gold medal winner with perfect scores last year!

Although Ning Qingyun's strength is also very good, and he is second in the national competition, in everyone's mind, Ning Qingyun's mathematical level is still inferior to Qin Ke. For a super mathematical god like Fernando, Qin Ke

What if you don’t take action yourself?

"NING? This beautiful girl next to you?" Fernando also looked at Ning Qingyun, who looked a little nervous, in surprise, shook his head and said, "You are insulting me."

"Are you afraid of losing face to a girl?" Qin Ke directly used the provocation method.

Fernando smiled proudly: "I don't want to bully girls, okay, if you insist on letting this girl's confidence be severely damaged, I can let my companions go to fight. Eba, you come."

"Huh? Let me bully such a beautiful girl? I can't bear it." Last year's IMO silver medalist Eba winked at Ning Qingyun's beautiful little face that transcended national aesthetics: "Beautiful girl,

Don’t cry if you lose?”

"Okay, last year's IMO silver medal is enough for warm-up." Qin Ke turned to Ning Qingyun and smiled: "Study Committee, come on. Let me see the results of your hard work in the past six months."

Ning Qingyun clenched her fists, her beautiful eyes filled with burning fighting spirit: "I will do my best."

Both sides had already prepared English version of the question bank. Qin Ke took out a piece of white paper with the questions written on it and handed it to Eba, who also took a question from his own question bank and handed it to Ning Qingyun.

After reading the title, the two of them started writing with their pens.

Because they are all pure Arabic numerals plus mathematical symbols, there is no need to worry about language conversion.

Several cameras landed on the questions written on two pieces of white paper at the same time. Professional commentators had already started to translate the questions, but these two questions were very difficult. Firstly, these professional commentators were not very good at it, and secondly, they were hampered by

Due to the rules of the competition, no one dared to say anything out of the blue for fear of being accused of helping their side to cheat.

The audience shouted:

"I can't understand, I feel my IQ is being crushed..."

"Hey, hey, can anyone explain what's going on? Is it convenient for Qin Shen to speak?"

"Nonsense, those American students didn't speak. If Qin Shen speaks, won't he be regarded as helping Ning to cheat? It was agreed that this is a warm-up match for a one-on-one challenge."

At this time, the reporter from the live broadcast platform recognized Deng Hongguo who had quietly come to the scene. His eyes immediately lit up and he stepped forward and asked: "Coach Deng, could you please give a general analysis of the situation between the two parties to the audience?"

Speaking of which, who is more suitable to be this commentator than Deng Hongguo, who has studied Mathematical Olympiad all his life and led the national team to IMO dozens of times?

Deng Hongguo did not refuse. He looked at the two questions and said in Chinese: "These two questions are both IMO DAY1 difficulty training questions. They are geometric proof questions with similar difficulty. Even if the average candidate can solve it, it will still take half

Hour to hour.”

"Half an hour to an hour..." The audience around them gasped. It takes so much time to solve one question...

Everyone's eyes fell on the two students who were deep in thought.

Of course, some people also observed the expressions of Qin Ke and several other American students.

Qin Ke looked calm, but several American students were a little moved. Apparently they didn't expect the questions Qin Ke asked to be of such a level.

Ning Qingyun was the fastest to start writing. She only calculated on the draft paper for about five minutes before she started to formally write the answer.

Aiba glanced at Ning Qingyun unexpectedly, his expression became serious, and he quickly began to write down the proof steps.

Twelve minutes later, Ning Qingyun was the first to put down her pen: "I'm done."

On the other side, Eba's forehead was beaded with sweat, but he continued to write furiously, and then stopped writing after a minute: "I'm done too."

When comparing test questions, in addition to speed, you also need to check whether they are correct, such as whether there are any mistakes or omissions in the steps.

The two sides quickly exchanged answers and looked at them carefully together.

Qin Ke only glanced at Aiba's answer and said: "Yes."

This straightforward appearance made the Xia Kingdom's audience anxious. Qin Shen, Qin Shen, can't you pick a few thorns carefully?

How did they know that for such a difficult question, Qin Ke could tell at a glance whether he had done it right or not. As an IMO silver medalist, Eba's strength is indeed good.

Fernando and others over there carefully read Ning Qingyun's answers, because Eba was lagging behind in completing the questions, and they had to find loopholes in Ning Qingyun's answers to regain their disadvantage.
