24 hours later, Dongou Sports Activity Center indoors, No. 2 examination room.

Lin Miao sat in her seat and yawned boredly.

He wasn't sleepy, because he actually slept well last night, and Zheng Aifen didn't do anything strange to him. The main reason why I feel tired is that the waiting time before the exam is too long.

Before 7 o'clock this morning, a group of them had already had breakfast in the hotel's cafeteria.

Then I entered the examination room at half past eight and sat down, and until now, it has been more than 9:20, and the test papers have still not been sent down, and after entering the examination room, the candidates are not allowed to move around.

Lin Miao was bored and could only play with the pen, this trick was not popular at the moment, so when Lin Miao played for more than half an hour and gradually played back the previous proficiency, the commotion of the pen-turning trick almost scared the invigilator who had been staring at him.

And after a few minutes, the teacher actually went to ask Lin Miao, looking humble and asking for advice: "Classmate, you pen ...... How do you turn it?"

Lin Miao's hands kept moving, and she replied with a straight face: "Teacher, it is forbidden to speak in the examination room, and you must be a good example for others." ”

The invigilator couldn't laugh or cry.

"Haha......" There was a laugh on the side, Zhang Xueru, who was assigned to the same examination room as Lin Miao, saw that the teacher was deflated in front of Lin Miao, and couldn't help but think of Lin Miao's stinky face when she was abused by 16 girls yesterday.

She obviously felt that Lin Miao had sprinkled all the resentment she had saved yesterday on this unlucky teacher.

The invigilator returned in vain, and after a while, the exam bell finally rang.

The atmosphere in the four examination rooms suddenly became serious. In this preliminaries, the top 10 in each examination room will directly advance to the finals, and the remaining 10 places will be taken from the top 10 of all the remaining candidates. This arrangement not only retains the element of luck, but also reduces the impact of luck to a very low level, and the logic is still very scientific.

The rolls are sent out 5 minutes in advance.

Everyone is given the paper, and they are not allowed to write anything other than their name, school, and test number. Lin Miao is fighting on behalf of the urban area this time, and the exam number is relatively high, there are 17 people in the district, and he is the 16th - because Bailifang Primary School is not strong enough.

After filling in the personal information, all the students entered the state of the first mental arithmetic problem.

5 minutes, when the invigilation exam was announced, the top elementary school students in the room grabbed the comparison, and there was a sound of brushing.

In the city's competition, time is counted, even if it is a preliminaries, if you can hand in the paper a few minutes earlier, you can also improve the possibility of promotion.

Of course, the results in the preliminaries are definitely not at the top level.

Like Lin Miao and Zhang Xueru, the two of them are very slow, and their main tactical idea is to seek stability.

Because the questions of the city's competition are not difficult to say or easy, but it is still quite difficult to get a full score or only make one or two mistakes. Just like the 107 people who participated in the competition this time, there are only about 30 people who can do this in real time. After all, with such a strong comprehensive strength in Oucheng District, there are 17 people in the team, and there are never more than 10 people who can only get 3 questions wrong in each classroom test. As for the counties and districts below—excluding Ounan City and Liucheng City—three or five students in other teams can reach this level, which is considered the limit of teaching.

Lin Miao lowered her head and solved the test paper without distraction.

Lin Miao, who has almost mastered the essence of the Olympiad in primary school, is no longer like before, always doing what he is good at first, and then what he can't do. Now he does the questions in a very correct way, that is, from the beginning to the end of the sequential work, in the middle of the feeling of a problem to skip, but never jump again and again, if more than three questions in a row is in trouble, he would rather stop first, let the brain calm first.

The 20 questions in the preliminaries were very smooth, and Lin Miao was only stuck once in the middle, so he didn't encounter any other trouble.

When he came back after finishing the last question, the stuck question met Lin Miao's already hot thinking, and it was quickly solved.

Lin Miao carefully checked again, and at 11:20, he handed in the paper 10 minutes early.

And when he stood up and handed in the papers, there were still about a dozen people sitting in the examination room, each meditating, frowning.

Walking out of the classroom, no one is allowed in the hallway outside.

Lin Miao walked down the corridor to the front hall and saw clusters of candidates.

All of them are standing around the teachers who are leading the team, and they are seriously analyzing the possibility of each person to advance.

Lin Miao felt in her heart that this kind of seriousness was unnecessary, after all, the exams were all over, and even if the flowers were analyzed now, it was impossible for those who had been eliminated to return to the finals.

"Lin Miao!" Zhu Peici shouted in the distance.

The students in Oucheng District basically all came out, and Zhu Peici smiled brightly and seemed to have done well in the exam.

Lin Miao stepped forward, and Zhang Xueru, who had handed in the paper 10 minutes earlier, immediately complained: "Why are you so slow, we are still waiting for you to eat together!"

"Am I the last?" Lin Miao was stunned.

Zhu Peici immediately said: "No, the qin hasn't come out yet." ”

Lin Miao took a closer look at the group of girls, and sure enough, she didn't see Jiang Qinqin, and then casually asked Zhu Peici again: "How did you do in the exam?"

"It's okay...... Zhu Peici said, "Anyway, everything that can be done has already been done, there are 4 questions that really can't be done, there is no idea at all, so it just comes out." ”

"There's still a chance. Lin Miao said, "You should run out of time, if you can solve one more problem, the possibility of entering the finals is very high." ”

Zhu Peici grinned and said very self-satisfied: "Enough, enough, this is my best exam." In our team exam, my best one was to have 6 questions. ”

"I think it's a little bit more difficult for us to train than it is for the real game. A girl answered.

When the words fell, the other girls nodded in agreement, and they all praised Teacher Zhu's training.

Lin Miao mixed in with the girls, listening to them chat for about ten minutes, until the bell rang at the end of the exam, Teacher Ye and Teacher Zhang walked in from outside, and at the same time, Jiang Qinqin also walked out of the inside, with a frosty face, and no one should approach.

Lin Miao knew at a glance that this girl must have been under too much psychological pressure and was playing abnormally.

Teacher Zhang and Teacher Ye are both veterans, and they didn't mention the exam at all, but just asked everyone to hurry back to the hotel for dinner, and announced that they would have a day off tomorrow.

The children who live in the urban area are different from the children in the counties and cities below, and if they are eliminated in the preliminaries, they can actually leave tonight. Because the organizing committee said that the list of finalists will be announced tomorrow, but the specific results will actually come out before dark in the afternoon.

Of course, people who are not eliminated can actually go home, but generally no one does so. After all, the sports activity center is too far away from the real city center, and it takes more than an hour to take the bus by yourself, and it is too expensive to take a taxi, and there is no private car, so people like Lin Miao who can't stand the bumps of the car have no reason to vomit twice.

Lin Miao and the others had lunch, and in the afternoon, Zhang Xueru and the girls went to find a place to play by themselves. The sports center arranges all kinds of messy staff competitions throughout the year, which is enough for them to watch for a long time. In addition, there is a large shopping mall nearby, so it is good for girls to be able to browse even if they don't buy anything.

In contrast, Lin Miao is more homely.

Zheng Aifen took him to watch mahjong for an afternoon in a room of the team leader team members.

Lin Miao was held by several teachers in turn as a mascot, and when Teacher Ye hugged him, he actually touched a handful of three God of Wealth, and kissed Lin Miao excitedly.

It was around 4 p.m., and the mahjong finally ended.

Then Zheng Aifen personally went to the organizing committee office of the sports activity center, and before dinner, she got the list of finalists.

Lin Miao and Zhang Xueru, the two seeded players, of course, easily advanced.

Paradoxically, Jiang Qinqin, who is the No. 3 seed in Oucheng District, was only ranked 52nd and missed the final.

Jiang Qinqin, who didn't dare to go out all afternoon, cried like a hen after knowing the results, and couldn't stop it when she chirped.

But Teacher Ye and Teacher Zhang were crying sadly when they saw her, but the two of them were still talking and laughing.

Oucheng District played well as a whole this time, 17 people, 11 of them entered the finals, if it weren't for Jiang Qinqin's abnormal performance, it should be 12. Because Zhu Peici stepped on super shit luck this time, she made 4 mistakes in 4 questions, and she was able to get 49th in the exam.

As a candidate who also got 4 questions wrong, if Jiang Qinqin could give up and come out early, maybe she would not have been eliminated.

It can be seen that sometimes, success or failure does not lie in ability, and the choice is also very fatal.

The next morning, Jiang Qinqin and the other children from Oucheng District who had been eliminated returned to the city center first. Anyway, the closing ceremony was not named, and they continued to stay, which only added to their sadness.
