After arriving at the hotel, the group of people quickly assigned rooms. Of course, Wang Mo and Fatty shared a room.
After assigning rooms, the team leader carefully arranged for them. Don't go out casually. If you want to go out, report it to the teacher in the team.
Coming to a strange country, surrounded by people with different skin colors from their own, and with language barriers, Wang Mo and others had not thought about going out on their own for a long time. However, if the team arranged for a translator to go out together, they would still be happy. After all,
It’s not easy to go abroad once.
Wang Mo and the others had been here two days earlier. During these two days, the six high school students did not go out casually. The limited space for activities was the room, the restaurant and the fountain downstairs.
The day of the opening ceremony finally arrived, and none of the six people understood what was said. They were not good at English, and they spoke very fast and with a strong dialect. It was even more impossible for Wang Mo and the others to understand. p>
After the opening ceremony, there was a visit to the University of Bucharest and a concert held at the Temple of the Goddess Athena, which is considered a special move by the local government.
Wang Mo didn't know much about European music, but he was still very interested in the architecture of the Temple of the Goddess Athena. I heard that this temple was very famous in the local area.
The game officially started on the third day after the opening ceremony. The game was held in an indoor gymnasium at the University of Bucharest.
In the open field in the middle, sports equipment is generally placed, let alone hundreds of people participating in the competition, even more than a thousand people would be wrong.
The tables and stools are simple folding tables, and the crowds of people in the open space, including white people, black people, and other people of color, are quite spectacular.
There are 5 questions in total, with a total score of 42 points. The time is 5 hours. You can bring a pen and a simple computer, as well as various food and drinks. If you want to go to the toilet in the middle, raise your hand and someone will take you there.<
/p>
This is an arduous mental game. I have to think about it for 5 hours, constantly calculating and thinking about math problems.
The five questions are all question and answer questions, and each question consists of several questions. The least one has three questions, and the most one has five questions.
This is also to divide the scores as much as possible for marking, making it easy to calculate your score.
After getting the test paper, Wang Mo lowered his head and delved into the questions, entering a state of selflessness.
Time passed minute by minute. After Wang Mo finished solving the two questions, his neck felt a little sore. He raised his head and looked at his watch, only to realize that two hours had passed.
Wang Mo took out the water he brought and took a sip. Before entering the examination room, the teacher leading the team told them to take small sips when drinking water and not to drink too much to avoid wasting time on going to the toilet.
Wang Mo moved his neck, then lowered his head to calculate the next question.
More than three hours passed, and students around Wang Mo raised their hands one after another to indicate that they wanted to use the toilet. However, these actions did not alarm Wang Mo. He had no idea what was happening around him.
After completing the calculation of the fourth question, Wang Mo felt like he wanted to go to the toilet, so he raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to go to the toilet.
On the way to the toilet, Wang Mo was thinking about the fifth question, and followed him to the toilet like a zombie.
When Wang Mo finished calculating all five questions, he took a look at the time and there were still more than 20 minutes left. So he relaxed his mind and moved his stiff wrists and fingers. Finally, he checked it again and felt that there was no problem.
, so I put down my pen and waited for the exam time to end.
After the end, Wang Mo didn't find the fat man and followed the crowd outside the examination room. After gathering with people from his own country outside the examination room, the team leader asked, "How do you feel?"
"Okay"
"No problem"
"I seem to have made a few mistakes in a few questions"
…………
After listening to the words of the six people, the team leader felt confident. As for whether you are the champion, sometimes it depends not only on how well you do in the exam, but also how well your opponent does.
In this Olympiad, the team leader told them that their main opponent is the Russian team, followed by the Japanese, Korean and British teams. As for the American team, since it won the championship in 1994, it has not been among the top rankings for several years.
, so we are missing a strong opponent.
The results will be announced in three days. After all, it is a competition from more than 100 countries, and even grading and review will take time.
Three days later, Wang Mo and his party arrived at the venue, waiting for the results to be released.
Everyone else was waiting in their seats. Only one teacher went to the organizer and asked over and over again whether the results were out.
Wang Mo's six high school students are also very nervous. After all, there are so many contestants. Although they are very confident in themselves, you don't know the level of players from other countries.
"Come out, come out"
While waiting for the results, a group of people gathered around, and suddenly someone shouted.
Wang Mo and others also stood up and looked there with anxiety.
The teacher who was waiting for the results, holding a piece of paper in one hand, ran over excitedly and shouted, "Good news, good news!"
Everyone else gathered around and asked all kinds of questions. Wang Mo and the six players could only stand outside the circle and wait.
The team leader took the score card, glanced at it, and then became happy. He turned around and handed the score card to the six players outside.
Wang Mo stretched his head and saw the score of 42 points behind him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Three of the six Wang Mo people won the gold medal with perfect scores, one with 40 points, and two with 38 points.
The Olympiad stipulates that anyone with a score of 32 or more is a gold medal. Now we are waiting for the official statistics of the total scores of each country to see if the team can take first place.
After waiting anxiously for nearly an hour, Wang Mo and the others finally knew the result. The Chinese team tied with the Russian team for first place in this session with a score of 242.
After Wang Mo and the others found out, they were excited and scared at the same time. They were just one point away from being number one.
The subsequent awards ceremony will be held the day before the closing ceremony.
When Wang Mo and his team's first-place results were reported back to China, it was night in China.
The next day, Wang Mo's high school hung a red curtain on the school gate early.
When the students walked to the school gate in the morning, they all saw this news that made people jealous and exciting at the same time.
Early self-study Wang Mo’s class did not have early self-study in the morning, they were all discussing Wang Mo.
"I'll go, Wang Mo is really awesome this time!"
"Yeah, I guess those colleges and universities have extended an olive branch to him now."
"Do you think Wang Mo will skip his senior year of high school and go directly to college?"
"If I go directly to college, why stay in high school?"
"Yes, I guess he will go too!"
Li Sha from the next class also knew the news at this time, but she listened to other classmates discussing whether Wang Mo would stay in the senior year of high school or go directly to college.
She wanted to run over and tell others loudly that Wang Mo would not go to college now, but she knew in her heart that this idea was not practical. If it were her, her family's advice would probably be to go to college directly. Li Sha sat in her seat, feeling happy about Wang Mo's achievements but also worried about the outcome of herself and Wang Mo.
Wang Mo, who was abroad, was really happy at the moment. In his two lifetimes, he had never done anything so awesome, so even with his mature mentality, he would still be excited.
When Wang Mo and others returned to China, their first stop was Yanjing, because the leaders of the Ministry of Education met with them for publicity. Of course, they also received a national reward of 10,000 yuan in cash per person.
Wang Mo did not contact those friends for a few days after returning to China. He was too busy and had no time. He wanted to meet with the leaders. Although the leaders were talking, they had to sit down and listen attentively. Next came interviews with TV stations and CCTV’s exclusive interview programs, so after the busy work was over, five days had passed.
The busy day was finally over. Wang Mo took the time to go back home and put his things home. He also made his parents happy for a long time with the gold medal.
On QQ, Wang Mo made an appointment with Meng Lingjie for dinner at night, and also called Li Sha. When Li Sha found out that Wang Mo was the first one to look for her when he came home, she was so happy. She heard that she was going to meet Wang Mo that night.
Having dinner with her Olympiad teammates, she was nervous and excited at the same time. She was changing clothes at home and didn’t know which one to wear.
That night was Meng Lingjie's wedding banquet for Fatty and Wang Mo, so the place was booked by Meng Lingjie.
At 5:30, Wang Mo came downstairs to Li Sha's house and waited for her to come down.
When Li Sha came down, Wang Mo was simply shocked. He saw Li Sha draping her hair on her shoulders and wearing a lady's clothes. She looked much more mature in an instant.
If Wang Mo had not attacked Li Sha before, one reason was that he would eventually leave one day, and the other reason was that Li Sha was too young and wore school uniforms every day without makeup, which made Wang Mo feel like a crime every time.
.
But now seeing Li Sha's mature dress, Wang Mo knew that he was wrong before. This is obviously a flower in full bloom!
"Does it look good?" Li Sha asked shyly when she saw Wang Mo looking at her without blinking his glasses.
"It looks good," Wang Mo said stupidly.
"Let's go, otherwise we'll be late." Lisha said, holding Wang Mo's hand.
Not seeing Wang Mo during this period of time, Li Sha really missed him, but the girl's reserve prevented her from showing it too obviously.
Meng Lingjie ordered privately-ordered dishes from a private house in a courtyard. When Wang Mo arrived, the waiter led him inside.
Li Sha quietly said to Wang Mo, "Your teammate has an unusual family. It's not easy to find a place in Yanjing."
Wang Mo nodded. In the past, Wang Mo only knew that Meng Lingjie's family was rich, but now it seems that not only is he rich, but maybe his family is also involved in politics, and the level is much higher than that of Li Sha's family.
When Wang Mo and Li Shalai walked in, Fatty, Meng Lingjie and Meng Lingjie's girlfriend had already arrived.
