Teacher Teng took the paper given by Xu Mang, and his face darkened completely, because the questions on it were too difficult.

"Teacher Teng?" Xu Mang said cautiously, "You don't have anything to do, right?"

"Xu Mang?"

"Huh?"

"Isn't this a bit excessive?" said Teacher Teng, "Are you sure this is an Olympiad problem that high school students can solve?"

"Sure. ”

"If you don't believe me, I'll explain it to you on the spot, and use the knowledge points of high school. ”

After Xu Mang's words fell, he picked up a pen and solved the problem on a blank piece of paper, and the whole process only took five minutes.

Teacher Teng took a look at Xu Mang's problem-solving process, and finally reluctantly let him pass, it is indeed a high school knowledge point, but it is very skillful, if you don't have a strong thinking and logic ability, you can't even understand the question at all.

"What's the answer?"

"Is there no standard answer?" asked Mr. Teng.

"What is the standard answer?" Xu Mang looked at Teacher Teng with a cute expression.

“...”

"There is no standard answer, how do you ask others to correct it?" Teacher Teng said helplessly: "You can't let the corrector read every question carefully." ”

"I'll correct it myself!" Xu Mang pointed at himself and said with a serious face: "I'm very fast." ”

"Can you finish grading in one night?"

"There are few papers in the individual competition, but there are more than 300 papers in the team competition. Teacher Teng said: "This competition is very important, you kid can't be fast because of speed." ”

Xu Mang smiled and said indifferently: "Teacher Teng, my Xu Kuaigun is not only fast at doing questions, but also amazing fast at correcting questions, and the accuracy rate is as high as 100%!"

Time

Teacher Teng was in a dilemma, but in the end he decided to let Xu Mang change it himself.

There is no time...

The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow.

After leaving Mr. Teng's office, Xu Mang went to the venue of the competition, and this year he directly used the venue of the gymnasium on the campus of Jiang University, and then renovated it to divide it into an infield and an outfield.

"Ugh..."

"I don't know how to be flexible at all. Xu Mang was speechless about this, the layout environment of this session was exactly the same as the previous one, indicating that the people who arranged the venue were still the old people.

Xu Mang stood in the corner and watched for a while, thinking of going back, it was too boring, there was nothing to look at.

Then

Suddenly, a group of people came, mostly a middle-aged man with five young students.

Xu Mang found these students, with confident smiles on their faces, and seemed to be very confident in the upcoming competition.

"Huh?"

Xu Mang found a familiar figure in the crowd, he was the mathematics teacher of Ningshi No. 1 Middle School, Teacher Liang Fengliang, at this time with five students were observing the competition venue, but... He's a little more serious than he used to be.

Also

After all, he doesn't have me by his side.

Alas...

It's really impermanent, and fate will always tear apart all kinds of people, but not oneself and the violent airfield.

Xu Mang walked over and quietly came to the back of Liang Feng and his party.

"In the team competition, we were drawn to the bottom of the middle, which was okay. Liang Feng said solemnly: "Tomorrow morning is the opening ceremony, and the competition will start in the afternoon, the first game is the individual competition, don't have any burden." ”

"Although Ningshi's results last year were very good, almost monopolizing all the awards, but that time was an accident, we have to recognize our own strength. Liang Feng said: "Our goal is to be in the top three!"

Xu Mang: Embarrassed

It seems that there is a serious fault line in Ningshi's mathematics, and it seems that the previous grades were not good, until the addition of himself and Xiaoman last year, which reversed this embarrassing situation, but also left huge pressure on the people behind.

"Teacher Liang?"

"It's not our style to take the top three!"

suddenly

Such a sentence came out behind Liang Feng.

Belch?

This voice, this breath...

Liang Feng's mind conjured up a hippie smile, a little bit of, and his eyes radiated a lazy glow.

Xu Mang?

Is it Xu Mang?

Liang Feng turned his head and immediately saw the face that appeared in his mind, although it had been half a year, this face was simply too familiar.

"Xu Mang?!"

"You... You—" Liang Feng asked with a look of surprise on his face, "Why are you here?"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"The head of the Department of Mathematics of Jiang University has something to do with me, and I can't tell you anything specifically, because it's confidential. Xu Mang smiled and said, "Teacher Liang... Isn't our goal always to win the championship?"

“...”

"Last year was a complete accident of an accident. Liang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Xu Mang's words.

Words fall,

Liang Feng introduced to the five players from Ning City: "This person is the one who brought Ning City to win all the awards in the Zhejiang Provincial Mathematics Olympiad last year... Xu Mang. ”

The five people didn't know Xu Mang, but they had heard about his deeds by chance, so after hearing that it was Xu Mang, they were just curious, but they were a little disdainful and unconvinced from the bottom of their hearts.

Facing the five members of the Ning City team with a cold attitude, Xu Mang had no surprises, and he was also in this situation in the past.

"Teacher Liang?"

"Do you have time at noon?" Xu Mang asked, "I'll invite you to dinner." ”

"Okay!" Liang Feng nodded.

midday

Xu Mang had a meal with the members of the team from Ningshi, and the purpose of his meal was not to increase his emotions, but to catch up with his math teacher in the past, and by the way, to inquire about the situation of No. 1 Middle School.

During the conversation, I learned that in the past, Mu Chaomei, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, became the second-in-command of the district education department, and now the principal of No. 1 Middle School has been parachuted, and many people's positions have changed, such as the old Banlin Yishan, who is now the director of teaching.

Teacher Liang Fengliang is the leader of the mathematics group, Chinese teacher Wang Xue is the leader of the Chinese group, and English teacher Wu Tong has left and is now the owner of an English training institution outside.

Xu Mang couldn't help but sigh that the time in the past six months has really changed a lot.

Also

I became a professor myself.

"Xu Mang?"

"Is it okay in college?" Mr. Liang asked, "Last time I saw on Weibo, your paper appeared in Nature, which is amazing!"

"It's okay. ”

"I'm almost graduating. Xu Mang said.

Teacher Liang was stunned for a moment: "You have only been studying for half a year, and you have graduated from college?"

"That's right. ”

"I'll be a professor next year. Xu Mang said with a smile: "The most advanced is also the level of associate professor." ”

Time

Liang Feng didn't know how to describe Xu Mang.

That's too fast, isn't it?

What did he do in college? Did he completely let himself go?

afterwards

Xu Mang briefly recounted his experience to Liang Feng, from accepting the material database project of the Ministry of Science and Technology, to publishing his first paper, to appearing on the cover of Nature, and so on.

hear out

Liang Feng felt that Xu Mang was no longer a genius to describe, this was clearly an alien.

"Seeing that you can achieve such great results in the field of scientific research, I believe that all the teachers of No. 1 Middle School will be proud of you. Liang Feng sighed: "I can't imagine that one of my students has become a professor, and it is incredible to think about it." ”

Liang Feng recalled the past, as if everything was yesterday, Xu Mang was a proper problem teenager, but in the end he became the leader of the new generation in the field of scientific research.

It's incredible.

"Xu Mang. ”

"I have time to come and sit at No. 1 Middle School. Liang Feng smiled: "Come here as a professor, and I will have to listen to you when the time comes." ”

"Oops. ”

"Teacher Liang, you're laughing. Xu Mang said: "Just go to school, and when the time comes, I will personally visit the homes of various teachers." ”

"Good, good!"

"Then I'll wait for you. Liang Feng said.

This meal,

The two had a good meal, but the five players of the Ningshi team were a little helpless.

I'm afraid this guy isn't the king of pretending, right?

Facing Xu Mang,

These five players are still very unfamiliar, although Xu Mang's achievements occasionally appear on Weibo, but they only appear for a few minutes, and then they are squeezed down by various entertainment stars, unless they care about natural science like Liang Feng, no one will know how terrifying and scary Xu Mang's achievements in the past six months are.

...

The next day,

The day of the opening of the Zhejiang Provincial Mathematics Olympiad.

The morning is still the same,

The members went to the venue to attend the opening ceremony, then listened to the so-called leaders talk boring nonsense, returned to their respective hotels two hours later, and then had lunch, and then rushed to the venue to lead the teachers to conduct psychological counseling for their members.

"Carefully, carefully, again!"

"When you encounter simple questions, you must make sure that you can get points, and don't stumble on difficult questions, skip them directly if you can't think of ideas, and finish those simple ones first, make sure that nothing goes wrong, and then solve those problems. ”

"Remember!"

"Don't get stuck in the problem!"

The leading teacher of the Hangzhou team, at this time, is carrying out ideological education for the players, his views are almost the same as all the leading teachers, don't stumble on the problem, after all, time is limited, once you don't come up with ideas for a long time, it will affect the mentality of the game.

If the mentality blows up, then the rest of the game is basically over.

It's a law.

"And!"

"Pay attention to your own time!" said the leading teacher, "Make the best use of your time, I won't go into too much detail on how to use it, you have your own standards." ”

"Finally!"

"Again, when you encounter a problem with no idea, skip, skip, skip!"

The teacher who led the team kept repeating the original words, and you can imagine how important this matter is.

Although these players are very obedient to the words of the leading teacher on the surface, but not many people take it to heart in private, I heard that there are no special players in this competition, and when everyone's strength is almost the same, everyone is a potential champion.

"Who was the best player last year?"

"It seems to be Xu Mang from Ning City, this guy... It's a bit non-human, and one person in the challenge knocked everyone upside down. ”

"Damn... Really?"

"Ask for yourself!"

soon

The legend about Xu Mang last year was widely circulated, but it was a little bad as it was passed on.

Either there is an insider, or last year's topic was too simple.

anyway

I'll do it too!

Thirty minutes before the start of the individual competition,

All the members entered the stadium one after another, waiting for the start of the game.

In the last five minutes,

The referee began to distribute the test papers of the competition, which was different from the past, this time it was wrapped in a brown paper document bag, and it was not allowed to take it out until the game started, otherwise it would be directly judged as cheating.

And this brand new rule is provided by Xu Mang.

ultimately

With the referee's order, the players of this year's Olympiad began their own way to winning the championship.

As everyone knows,

This is a path to self-isolation that Xu Mang has carefully built for these players.
