"Alright. Everyone is here. Let's go!"

Seeing Zhang Baobao push the door in, Director Zhang Yongxu stood up, handed down the badges of the three of them one by one, and then gave the order to set off.

The car drove for about half an hour and finally stopped in front of a 12-story building.

"Wow. This building is magnificent!" Zhang Baobao exclaimed.

"This is a special building for municipal competition projects affiliated to our Wufang Municipal Education Bureau, and all various types of municipal competitions will be held in this building, and the final winner will be produced. Of course, the 'Easy Cup' Four Spirits Competition is the highest standard of all municipal competitions, after all, it is a national competition. Guo Ziya, who was beside her, elegantly explained to Zhang Baobao.

"Turtle!" Li Chunshou didn't even look back, rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"You!"

Zhang Baobao was a little angry, and the young man's impulsiveness tended to make him pay tribute to this proud scholar.

Before Zhang Baobao could scold, Guo Ziya smiled, "Zhang Baobao, don't be angry." We're here to play, and he's like that. Ignore him. ”

Zhang Baobao exhaled and didn't say anything more.

Guo Ziya turned back to Li Chunshou, "Xueba, the three-person team competition we participated in today, no matter what you think in your heart, I hope you can think more about the overall situation." Stalemate within the team is not good for any of us. ”

Li Chunshou naturally understood this truth, and was broken by Guo Ziya, then nodded and stopped making a sound.

Director Zhang Yongxu watched coldly, secretly admiring Guo Ziya's team building ability, and resolved the displeasure of Li Chunshou and Zhang Baobao in just a few words, and he was able to start from the overall situation of the team, which is a rare talent.

Zhang Yongxu pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay." Let's go inside. Now it's time to check in. ”

All three nodded, and followed Zhang Yongxu into the magnificent building that would decide their fate.

Walking to the front desk, Zhang Yongxu signed in on behalf of the Municipal Experimental Middle School, and then led the four to the eighth floor of the building by etiquette.

"According to the overall arrangement of the Municipal Education Bureau, more than 2,000 colleges and universities are divided into 12 districts, and middle schools in different regions compete on different floors. The Municipal Experimental High School competes in Zone C. A few people, this side please. Miss Manners politely guided the four of them to Area C of the competition.

When I walked into Area C, the center of the venue was already crowded, and after Miss Etiquette left, the team leader, Director Zhang Yongxu, found the location of the three contestants from the Municipal Experimental Middle School in accordance with the on-site guidance.

Area C of the competition occupies almost the entire area of the 8th floor, and the positions of more than 500 contestants have a computer that has been connected to the special network of the Municipal Education Bureau, and there is only one answering program on the computer interface, which is the software for the upcoming answering competition for all the contestants in today's preliminary round.

The total score of the three players from each school is the total score of the school's preliminary round. In the end, all participating middle schools were ranked unified, and the top 8 were promoted. The rest are all eliminated.

How cruel the competition is!

At 9 o'clock, all the contestants were in place, and the leading teachers were all transferred to the lecture hall on each floor to watch the game, and there was a large computer screen in the lecture hall to display the answer scores of each player in real time.

There are more than 5,000 contestants, and there is an average of 1 invigilator for every 4 contestants to prevent any candidates from cheating. However, according to the Municipal Education Bureau's many years of experience in organizing the Four Spirits Competition, there are almost very few candidates who dare to cheat in this building, and on average, there will only be one cheating player every 10 years.

After all, the people who came here to participate in the competition were all top students selected by various middle schools, and found that cheating not only lost face, but even their schools would be greatly implicated.

But even so, the Municipal Education Bureau still sent such a large team of invigilators, which shows how much attention the Municipal Bureau attaches to the "Xiaoyao Cup" Four Spirits Competition!

"Tick!"

There was a loud bang in the tweeter, and the race officially began!

The staff of the city television station, which had been ready for a long time, immediately went into action, and hundreds of ultra-high-definition cameras broadcast the entire event live.

A 2-hour countdown was also displayed on each candidate's computer desktop, and the countdown time was also displayed on the large computer screen in the lecture hall. In addition, the candidates' answers are also uploaded in real time.

Each contestant stared at the computer in front of him and carefully brushed the questions.

This preliminary competition not only tested the speed of the contestants' answers, but also tested the accuracy of their answers. If you lose 10 points or more for the wrong question, you will be eliminated immediately! This is no joke.

Therefore, the players must take every problem they encounter seriously!

Zhang Baobao sat in his answer position and carefully read the first question that popped up on the computer monitor:

1. In 1680 Boyle was elected president of the Royal Society, but he declined to take office, so he was subsequently assumed the position by ( ) (3 points)

A. Birch

B. Hook

C. Wren

D. Magdeburg

Zhang Baobao quickly browsed the topic, this is to investigate the theoretical knowledge of all things about the historical knowledge of the fire system combustion, and his accumulation in this area is still relatively rich. With almost no effort, Zhang Baobao held the mouse and clicked on option C.

The words "answer correctly" were displayed on the computer screen in front of me, and my total score changed from 0 to 3 in real time. At the same time, the scores were changed in real time on the large screen in the lecture hall where the leading teachers were resting.

Director Zhang Yongxu, the leader of the Municipal Experimental Middle School, was almost intently watching the real-time changes in scores.

……

20 minutes later.

Zhang Baobao has already done the 18th question, please accurately describe the history and process of the discovery of gases, and explain the theory of representative figures. The full score of this question is 20 points, and the backstage teacher will give points according to the specific process of solving the question.

"Hiss"

20 points!

Actually, one question is worth 20 points!!

This, don't play cards according to the routine!?

Zhang Baobao exclaimed in his heart, if he didn't answer this question well, the backstage teacher might deduct more than 10 points, so wouldn't he be eliminated immediately?

If you do a 3-point multiple-choice question, you have at least three chances to make a mistake! But now, a 20-point question is in front of you!

If this "roadblock" is not solved, it is better to go home with your schoolbag on your back. Who's up with this TM? Don't bring such fun, right?

Zhang Baobao sighed, complained and complained, and faced the reality. Quickly restrain your mind, don't dare to be careless, and start to seriously analyze the test questions.

At this point, the real-time data on the big screen in the lecture hall changed:

1. Municipal Rainbow District No. 2 Middle School: Zhang Wei 65 points, Tian Xin 54 points, He Liang 61 points, a total of 180 points.

2. Municipal Experimental Middle School: Li Chunshou 62 points, Guo Ziya 58 points, Zhang Baobao 55 points, a total of 175 points.

3. Municipal Yucai Middle School: Sun Ermao 60 points, Wang Ke 57 points, Bai Yaojin 55 points, a total of 172 points.

……

Zhang Yongxu on the seat of the lecture hall had a layer of sweat oozing slightly on his forehead, and now he is in second place, only 3 points more than the third place, no one can say that the next time the data changes on the big screen, the Municipal Experimental Middle School may fall to third place. Will it continue to fall? I don't know.

If you put this achievement in front of Principal Tian, you will definitely be scolded and embarrassed by the experimental middle school!

In the second round, the eight secondary schools that have been promoted will take the form of competition as the first place will play the eighth place, and the second place will play the seventh place,...... By analogy, if the ranking is too low at the time of promotion, it will inevitably form a disadvantage in the second round of the competition.

What the hell is Zhang Baobao doing? He is 7 points less than Li Chunshou, a multiple-choice question is two or three points, so seven points is at least on the gap between the two questions, Zhang Yongxu pinched a sweat.

Zhang Baobao's eyes stared at the 18th question displayed on the computer screen, the brain was running rapidly, and he deduced his own solution ideas and answering process in detail in his brain, and after confirming that it was correct, Zhang Baobao raised his hand and typed his entire answering process under the computer keyboard: In 1630, Helm first invented the term "gas", and carried out such a ......

In three minutes, the real-time data on the big screen of the lecture hall changed again.

1. Municipal Experimental Middle School: Li Chunshou 62 points, Guo Ziya 58 points, Zhang Baobao 75 points, a total of 195 points.

2. Municipal Rainbow District No. 2 Middle School: Zhang Wei 65 points, Tian Xin 56 points, He Liang 61 points, a total of 182 points.

3. Municipal Yucai Middle School: Sun Ermao 63 points, Wang Ke 57 points, Bai Yaojin 55 points, a total of 175 points.

……

The lecture hall was in chaos in an instant.

"Look!

The leaders of the various schools were all discussing there, and in just three minutes, why did Zhang Baobao of the Municipal Experimental Middle School suddenly rise by 20 points! Could it be that the monitor was broken? How could the machine set up by the Municipal Education Bureau in the building specially built for the competition be broken?

But if it's not a problem with the monitor? How can it be possible to increase 20 points in just 3 minutes? Even if you put the team leader on it and answer the question by yourself, it is impossible to answer it so quickly!

And all right?

Could it be that this student named Zhang Baobao is really so demonic?

None of the team leaders believed that this was the truth, and even Zhang Yongxu, who was sitting in the first row, couldn't believe it! This, this is amazing? Just now, I was still worried about falling into the rankings, and in the blink of an eye, I was promoted to the first place?

What happened in these 3 minutes?

Everyone shook their heads, but they were puzzled.

Zhang Yongxu, who was in the seat, wiped the sweat from his forehead and showed a confident and domineering smile.

3 minutes has increased by 20 points, if it is all multiple-choice questions, it means that Zhang Baobao has completed a maximum of 10 multiple-choice questions in three minutes, and the correct rate is 100%!

If this is placed in the usual exam, perhaps, there is nothing unusual, but now it is the Four Spirits Competition, and the difficulty is no longer the same as the usual exam. Besides, as long as you are wrong by 10 points, you will be eliminated immediately. Under this kind of nervous pressure, no one will take any question lightly and give options or answers casually, even if the answer is slower, at least there is a possibility of catching up. If you are wrong, you will be eliminated immediately after reaching 10 points, and then the journey of the entire school team will be over.

Therefore, the improvement of 20 points in 3 minutes surprised everyone present. Even Li Chunshou, who was answering questions in the examination room, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the big screen in the examination area.

"It's so rebellious!"

And a sweet smile bloomed on Guo Ziya's face, "Fortunately, you are a teammate!"

High IQ and high EQ are different, and you can immediately tell that this amazing score is beneficial to you.

Zhang Baobao was also happy to see the perfect score of 20 points given on his computer screen. But now the competition is far from over, adjust the mentality, Zhang Baobao continued to enter the answering mode.

……

"Tick!"

With a beep from the large speaker in the examination room, all the contestants' answering computers were immediately locked, and the data displayed on the big screen was finally frozen!

1. Municipal Experimental Middle School: Li Chun's first score is 232 points, Guo Ziya's score is 223 points, and Zhang Baobao's score is 285 points, with a total of 740 points.

2. Municipal Rainbow District No. 2 Middle School: 235 points, 212 points, 225 points, a total of 672 points.

3. Municipal Yucai Middle School: 226 points, 213 points, 209 points, a total of 648 points.

……

It's over.

In the competition field in Area C, a few families are happy and a few are sad......

At the same time, on the top floor of the competition building, in the office of the director of the Municipal Education Bureau.

"Xiao Xu, in this year's competition, the score gap between the schools is a bit big. ”

Gu Yongfeng, director of the Wufang Municipal Bureau of Education and Science and Technology, said to a young man with a cup of freshly brewed Biluochun.

"Gu Ju, the tea has just been brewed, you should be careful of scalding. The young man first reminded Gu Yongfeng, and then returned, "Yes." The first-place experimental middle school is almost 70 points higher than the second-place experimental middle school. It's really rare. ”

Director Gu Yongfeng nodded, in response to the young man, and then blew on the tea, "Hmm." I think the score is basically worse than this student named Zhang Baobao, 285 points?Has there been such a high score in the competition over the years?" Saying this, Gu Yongfeng looked at Xiao Xu standing opposite with a puzzled face.

The young man frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I really don't have the impression of it. ”

Gu Yongfeng immediately put down the teacup in his hand, held the mouse on the table, immediately called up Zhang Baobao's answer record, and stared at the computer screen seriously to check the test questions Zhang Baobao had answered, his expression began to become serious, and he muttered to himself from time to time.

"Hmm. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Not bad!"

"It's kind of interesting. ”
