CHAPTER XXVI

Remember this site in a second: M. President has an ugly face, but there is nothing to be done. Long Qiqi felt that she had done nothing wrong, everything was done according to the president's orders, but there was still a strange psychology of picking up the cheap, and she shrank behind Da Zhuang, so as to reduce her sense of existence.

Both sides sent five team members, Qiyuan's side sent the candidates set by the president at the beginning, the old members were Wen Lang and Da Zhuang, and the newcomers were Zhou Lin, Chen Ruofeng and Long Qiqi.

The president cheered everyone on: "Of these four rounds, we will win three rounds no matter what!"

Very good, the president has already decided that Long Qiqi will give away his head in that round.

The president secretly begged in his heart, it was best to let Long Qiqi face Cheng Yu, so that their chances of winning would be greater, and Dongqi would be equivalent to breaking a big killer weapon for nothing.

Dongqi's side is the same as Qiyuan's side, both of which are configured with two old members and three newcomers. Long Qiqi has just mixed in the circle, she almost doesn't know much of the famous people in the Sudoku circle, and the host has a lengthy opening statement before the start of the game, so Zhou Lin took advantage of this time to secretly introduce Long Qiqi by pressing his voice on the side.

Zhou Lin pointed to the tall boy with square-framed glasses next to Wen Yufei and said, "That is called Xu Nuo, a junior, I heard that it is from the School of Environment and Conservation." At last year's University Sudoku Championship, he won the standard Sudoku king award, and his best thing is standard Sudoku, and I guess he should be sent to play in the first and second rounds. ”

Zhou Lin pointed to a slightly shorter boy with yellow hair next to Xu Nuo who looked a bit like a bad boy and said: "That is called Meng Jiangbei, a freshman this year, studying statistical mathematics, and his strength is not bad, he won the runner-up in the national primary school Sudoku competition when he was ten years old." ”

Long Qiqi couldn't help but ask: "Who is the champion?"

"Cheng Yu. ”

Long Qiqi felt that this answer was expected, Cheng Yu was about the same age as them, both freshmen this year, and it was reasonable that he and Meng Jiangbei would meet in the competition.

Long Qiqi asked again: "What about Gu He?"

Gu He and Cheng Yu are of the same age, although Long Qiqi doesn't know Meng Jiangbei, but he always feels that if Gu He participates in the competition, he will definitely win the championship, even if he can't compare to Cheng Yu, the runner-up can get it.

Zhou Lin shook his head: "The vice president didn't participate in that game. He paused and added, "The first time I got to know the vice president was at the Sudoku World Championships six years ago. ”

Long Qiqi remembered that when she went to Gu He's Sudoku training class for the first time, the little girl in the front row seemed to have mentioned this game, as if she was ...... I don't know who the champion of that year was.

Zhou Lin continued: "Cheng Yu doesn't need me to say it, the genius of the Sudoku world, although he has not appeared in domestic competitions in the past few years, the legend about him has always been. I boldly guess that this year, Dongqi University can invite Yuan Xin to be a referee, and it's because of Cheng Yu. ”

"Because of Cheng Yoo?"

Zhou Lin nodded: "I heard that Yuan Xin has always wanted to accept Cheng Yu as a disciple, but I don't know the specific situation. ”

Zhou Lin pointed to the short and thin boy on the edge of the stage: "That is called You Wang, a sophomore, he participated in the competition between Dongqi and Qiyuan last year as a newcomer, and he also won the first round." ”

The host's speech speed on the stage accelerated, and he estimated that he was about to end the opening remarks, and Zhou Lin also sped up his introduction, pointing to the last boy in a white shirt and was about to say: "That ......"

Long Qiqi interrupted Zhou Lin's words: "Han Lu." ”

Zhou Lin was stunned: "Do you know?"

Long Qiqi said vaguely: "I've met once." ”

As he was talking, Han Lu's gaze drifted over, Long Qiqi met his gaze, and was about to greet him, but Han Lu's gaze moved away carelessly, as if he had never seen Long Qiqi before.

After the opening remarks, the game officially began.

The first round was a standard Sudoku competition.

The president is a little unsure who will play first, and generally speaking, the first game is crucial for both sides, and if you can win the first game, it will undoubtedly be an exciting thing for either side.

In the match between Dongqi and Qiyuan last year, Dongqi won the first round, which greatly reduced Qiyuan's morale, and then lost another round, but fortunately, Qiyuan won back in the last three rounds.

The president felt that Dongqi might send Xu Nuo, after all, Xu Nuo had the title of the king of standard Sudoku, and his strength in standard Sudoku was obvious to all.

Da Zhuang, who has never had a sense of existence and doesn't like to talk, recommended himself at this time: "I'll go to the first round!"

Long Qiqi was a little surprised by Da Zhuang's self-recommendation of Mao Sui, in her impression, Da Zhuang is not the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight, he can hide when he encounters things, even during the usual club training, he is also a person who sits silently in the corner to do questions, if he is not big, he really belongs to the kind that can no longer be found when thrown into the crowd.

The president did not hesitate and finalized the first candidate.

Zhou Lin secretly chewed the root of his ear with Long Qiqi: "Not to mention strength, just say that the majestic body and rugged appearance of the big strong brother can overpower the other party!"

Long Qiqi felt the same way: "If this is a boxing match, then I will definitely think that the big brother can win." ”

Sure enough, it was Xu Nuo, the standard Sudoku king, who was sent out by Dongqi.

The others walked off the stage, leaving Da Zhuang and Xu Nuo to occupy a corner of the stage, and I have to say that just looking at the figures of the two, Da Zhuang has already won. Xu Nuo looks too gentle, and when he stands with Da Zhuang, he looks like a good student who has been bullied by the little bully on campus.

Ten questions were randomly selected by Yuan Xin from the online Sudoku question bank, and then the questions were copied onto the question board by a special person, covered with a whiteboard, and sent to the stage, and placed on the shelf in front of Da Zhuang and Xu Nuo.

The host gave an order and started the timer: "The game begins." ”

The two quickly pulled out the whiteboard, picked up the marker pen on the side and began to solve the problem.

Doing Sudoku problems requires absolute silence, and the slightest movement may confuse the mind of the solver, so everyone present is very tacitly silent and can only hear the sound of the pen brushing quickly on the board.

The Dongqi people also specially arranged several cameras, and the boards of the two were magnified and displayed on the screens on the pillars on both sides of the stage.

Time passed minute by minute, this was the first time Long Qiqi officially watched the Sudoku competition, she wanted to try to solve the problem by herself, but found that the speed of her brain was not as fast as Da Zhuang and Xu Nuo's speed in solving the problem.

Long Qiqi is still in the stage of solving the problem with the basic elimination method, that is, using the rule that each number from 1 to 9 can only appear once in each row, column, and nine-square grid, to determine how many answers the space may have.

For the first time, Long Qiqi truly realized the gap between herself and the master, and a wave of fear welled up in her heart.

Perhaps, she thought about the game too simply, or perhaps, she overestimated her own strength and underestimated the level of her opponent.

1 to 9 seems to be only nine numbers, but there is the possibility of multiple answers in each space, and it is necessary to further judge and filter out the correct answer according to other methods.

Long Qiqi tried to calm herself down.

She is still just a bystander from the stage, and she is already so panicked before she goes on stage to compete, what should she do when it is her turn to go on stage?

This time, Long Qiqi really felt nervous.

Everyone sweated for the two people on the stage, especially as time passed, the spaces on the question board were filled one by one, and the speed of the two people was comparable, and the careful person could find that the answers filled in by the two were almost identical.

It seems that the key to victory or defeat is time.

When the minute hand turned to the fifth lap, Da Zhuang moved, he rushed to the clicker between the two, after Da Zhuang took a step, Xu Nuo on the side also filled in the last space, and the marker in his hand didn't have time to put down, and he also rushed to the clicker.

"Drip-"

The host said impassionedly: "Qiyuan pressed the clicker first!"

Xu Nuo's face showed disappointment, but it was only for a moment, and he cleaned up the expression on his face again. Answering first doesn't mean you win a point, in case the opponent makes a mistake.

Yuan Xin was invited by the host to come to the stage to check the answers of the two, and after half a minute, Yuan Xin nodded to the host and took the microphone in the host's hand: "Both sides answered correctly." ”

This means that Da Zhuang scored the first point.

Qiyuan cheered for a while, the atmosphere on Dongqi's side was a little gloomy, Wen Yufei waved his hand at Xu Nuo, encouraging him not to be discouraged.

Someone came on the field to replace the new question board, and taking advantage of this effort, Zhou Lin and Long Qiqi lowered their heads and whispered.

"This is the legendary muffled voice to make a fortune!"

Long Qiqi felt that something was wrong: "That's not how you use muffled to make a fortune, right?"

Zhou Lin was excited: "Oh, anyway, it means something." I didn't expect that the big strong brother was silent on weekdays, and he really beat the enemy with one move compared to the competition!"

Long Qiqi put forward a pertinent opinion: "I think, in this competition, one looks at the strength, and the other looks at the length of the legs." She paused and said quietly, "When I just rushed to answer, it was obvious that the big strong brother ran faster. ”

Zhou Lin was stunned, looked down at his legs, and said, "I think my legs are quite long." ”

Long Qiqi ignored Zhou Lin's words, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "Do you all do this when you usually compete?"

"Which one?"

Long Qiqi used a lifelong vocabulary to describe: "Hmm...... It's like a raging storm hidden beneath a calm surface. ”

During the game, the entire ladder activity room was quiet, but Long Qiqi just felt as if there were a thousand people shouting in her ears, shouting nothing else, but nine numbers from 1 to 9.

Zhou Lin felt that Long Qiqi's description was inexplicable: "I don't understand...... But that's not how we usually play, it's for the sake of spectacle. Generally speaking, we just hand out a Sudoku paper by one person, and a few or dozens of people sit in a quiet classroom to answer the questions. Well, it's about the same as an exam. ”

"Would that be so nervous?"

"Nervous?" Zhou Lin scratched his head, "No, they're all busy with questions, where can I be nervous." ”

Long Qiqi: "......"

Well, that's probably the consciousness of a master.
