At the entrance of the auditorium of Gangren Middle School, the students of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School met the delegation of Tianjing Middle School again. They were being led on a tour of the campus by another teacher guide, the difference was that Tianjing Middle School came out of the door, while Qin Ran and the others were preparing to enter.

When they met again, the scene was not very enthusiastic, but both sides nodded politely and greeted each other. There is a tacit understanding that only body language is used, and the students do not make a verbal sound, and they are enthusiastic with unfamiliar greetings. Rushing in and out, the two teams formed a parallel line for a while, facing each other but in different directions.

"Hello!"

Ye Linghan, a short-haired girl at the back of the line, took the initiative to greet Qin Ran when she saw her.

openly broke the silence, and everyone's attention was focused on the short-haired girl and the object Qin Ran.

"Hey!"

Qin Ran had to smile and respond.

It's this boy again, and several boys in the Tianjing Middle School team all looked at Qin Ran with envious eyes. can make the eldest lady Ye Linghan, who has always been known for her indifference in school, take the initiative to show her goodwill, is it because she feels like a different person because she is not adapted.

Wang Yaxuan, who was at the beginning, heard the voice, glanced back, and continued to walk into the auditorium as if nothing had happened. But no one noticed that her eyelashes blinked a few times, as if she was thinking about something.

It is easy for people to remember a little help from strangers, but they are accustomed to ignoring the care that people around them have always taken care of them. In particular, the first impression of people in their interactions forms a fixed mindset and dominates the minds of the other person. It is based on the above two factors that Ye Linghan will show a different side from her usual for the first time.

Of course, by Miss Ye's standards, Qin Ran is now just a strange boy who can say hello once in a while. I don't like it, I don't hate it, and my reputation is neutral.

In the afternoon, middle school delegations from other countries and regions also arrived one after another, and Qin Ran met several students who had come to participate in the sorority when he returned to the hotel.

Exciting times have finally arrived!

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the auditorium of Gangren Middle School, all the delegations of middle school students from the top 7 Chinese schools in the world gathered together to officially participate in the five-day gathering. The chairman of the "Peony Alliance" was speaking on the stage, but the students below couldn't contain their excitement and looked at each other. Being able to represent the school at such a grand event shows that he/she is very good in the school. When peers of similar level are together, they will inevitably subconsciously compare and strive to distinguish the winner, which is determined by human competition genes. Emotions are always contagious to each other, and under the influence of the slightly hyperactive expression of others, Qin Ran couldn't help but suppress the turmoil in his heart to calm himself down.

Everyone is polite and has a sharp spirit. Proud, and confident, this is the most intuitive feeling that others give Qin Ran. But among all the students, Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan are the two people who are the most focused, like saplings that have just broken out of the ground, bathing in the sun and exuding dazzling brilliance. Beauty, coupled with temperament, is the key to making them stand out from other girls.

"During these five days, the spirit of competition and collaboration will be present throughout the process, and you will participate in a series of group activities as a team as a school. Both indoor and outdoor; There is both brain power and body lì; There are both individuals and collectives. Unleash your potential in the shortest possible time, your opponent is your best friend, and how strong your opponent is, how strong your ability is......"

The chairman of the meeting introduced the content of the five-day activities, including visits, symposiums, simulated management, orienteering, knowledge competitions, talent shows, etc. Seven teams will compete against each other in these events to get acquainted with each other and finally select the top 3 best schools. It's about the school's honor rankings, which makes all the participants put away their playfulness and seriously use their best to deal with the upcoming competition.

Next, a 3-minute promotional video was played for each participating school, so that everyone could have a more intuitive understanding of the sister school. Then the 7 teams will draw the colors that represent their teams according to the 7 colors of the rainbow.

Wang Yaxuan, who represents Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, was lucky, and she chose the green color on the school emblem for the second choice. In these 5 days, green represents Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. Subsequently, each team member buckled a digital armband on his left arm, for example, the green number 1 represents Wang Yaxuan, and Qin Ran chose 7, and the green 7 is Qin Ran. Because it is impossible to remember the names of students from other teams in a short period of time, it is replaced by a simple "color + number".

Tianjing Middle School didn't choose the red color they wanted, so they had to settle for purple instead. As a result, the Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, United States, and European teams corresponded to the five colors of red, orange, yellow, blue, and blue.

After the first morning, I was busy with all this, and in the afternoon, I only arranged to visit the places of interest and famous attractions in Hong Kong. The organizers seemed to be in high spirits, and a total of 22 attractions were arranged for students to visit in 3 buses. While many people were bustling and taking pictures around, Qin Ran followed the footsteps of the tour guide and listened carefully to her explanation. Now that you're here, you have to learn something. Places of interest are nothing more than landscapes and artifacts, but what gives them life are the stories of historical people that come to life. Qin Ran didn't have a camera, but that didn't mean he didn't take pictures. Because when Wang Yaxuan is holding her own camera to shoot at will, she will always catch someone's figure in the mirror from time to time.

When the exhausted students stepped off the bus in turn and were about to return to the hotel lobby for a buffet dinner, they heard the news that surprised them. As soon as they got off the bus, a staff member handed them a piece of paper and a pen and asked them to line up in line. Just before they knew it, they were given 120 seconds to write down the names of the 22 attractions they visited today.

The sudden assault test arrived, and what was thought to be a relaxing experience was a hidden competition. Each team is scored a total of 1 point for each of the 3 correct attraction names, but if all 22 answers are correct, the points will be doubled to 35 points. Under normal circumstances, as long as a student makes 1 mistake, the maximum score can only be counted as 7 points. All pairs are actually 35 points, why is that?

The Organising Committee considers the relationship between individuals and teams, not only by allowing students to work together to select the winning team, but also by encouraging decisive top talent to play a role. When the team is about the same strength, the actions of the top talent can determine the entire course of the game. If all are correct, 35 points is equivalent to more than 95% of the correct rate of 5 people in the team, and one against five, so that they can maximize the strength of their geniuses and ensure that they will not be dragged down by weaker teammates.

All things considered, the winner takes all the kills, and pursues such a principle, in order to find and cultivate the leaders of the Chinese world in the future.

Since there will be competitions, there will be sorting, and there will also be rewards and punishments. The hall has been divided into seven areas, each with a different food ration, and the first place is the most sumptuous with delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Secondly, according to the quality decreases, and the last place is only white porridge and steamed buns. Everyone is not only fighting for the honor of the school, but also for their own stomachs.

Talking to each other is not allowed, and the pen must be stopped when the 120 seconds are up, otherwise the results will be invalidated.

"Let's go!"

With the referee's order, the 70 students present began a painful journey of memories to write as many names as possible in the limited time.

When the organizing committee announced the topic just now, Qin Ran had already silently gone through today's itinerary in his mind. So as soon as he got the pen, he immediately put pen to paper, constantly recalling the stories of historical figures told by the tour guide in his mind, while writing the name of every attraction he visited.

With only 120 seconds and 22 hard-to-remember names, many students scratched their hair and scratched their hair under the pressure. Closing their eyes and looking up, bowing their heads in contemplation, or constantly shaking their thighs, you can see the nervousness of the students. With enough time, most students may be able to write. But 120 seconds is really too much pressure on everyone, not to mention that it is almost caught off guard and unprepared, and it is rare to be able to write 15 at a glance.

"30 seconds left!"

The referee warned the time, which made most of the students even more frustrated. The small actions of stomping feet, grabbing hair, pulling clothes, and biting fingers are endless.

"When the time comes, please put down your pen immediately and wait for the staff to receive the answer."

As the final moment came, 70 students stopped writing.

Each person's paper answer is labeled with a colored number that identifies them. The staff took the answers, and immediately divided the teams by color and began to add up the total score of each team.

After the hard work of the judges, the final result was quickly in.

"The sixth place has a total of 22 points, with Blue 4 scoring a team-high four."

The blue represents the American Jinshan Middle School, and they are relieved to hear that it is not their own bottom, and they are relieved.

The first competition fell at the end, and it was easy to have unfavorable feelings for the team, so Jinshan Middle School was lucky.

"The fifth place has a total of 25 points, of which the blue 8 has a high 5 points in the pair."

This is the score drawn from the blue European Union High School, and they seem to be happy with the position.

Then the 4th and 3rd places were won by the red Hong Kong Kong Yan High School and the yellow Singapore Hwa Chong High School, respectively, their total score was 31 and 35 points, and their highest score in the team was also 5 points.

The remaining three that did not publish their scores were two prestigious schools in mainland China and Furen Middle School in Taiwan.

"Now I'm going to announce the last score, the team has a total of 18 points, and the highest score is 3. Its color is orange, and I am sorry that the students from Fu Jen High School in Taiwan did not perform well and ranked last. ”

Hearing the word blue, the students of Fu Jen Middle School in Taiwan began to sigh for who let them take group photos too many times while playing.

The two famous schools in the mainland have fully demonstrated their heritage as the inheritors of Chinese orthodox culture, and Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School and Tianjing Middle School are worthy of the same name as the two heroes of the north and the south. In the case that all the teams were unprepared, they still had the last laugh with their extraordinary strength.

"The rest is the battle for first and second place, and they are all from the mainland. Will green or purple have the last laugh? ”

The referee also deliberately sold a pass.

"I'll announce the score first, the second place is 54 points, and the first place-"

He continued to pause.

"82 points!"

Hearing that the first place was 28 points ahead of the second place, everyone let out a burst of amazement. There is no doubt that one of the first place finishers scored a perfect 35 points.

"We were also surprised by this result, and if it weren't for the outstanding performance of this perfect scorer, the two schools would have been evenly scored. The full score is 35 points, a lead of 28 points, and exactly 7 points are deducted from the base score. ”

After glancing at the audience, the referee took out three answers.

"I still have two excellent scores of 7 in my hand, and I am the only one out of 70. Purple 9, green 1, congratulations to these two students who are only one answer away from winning the Grand Slam. ”

Green 1 is Wang Yaxuan, Qin Ran glanced at her and found that she was talking and laughing with others calmly. Who is Purple 9? Seeing that Tianjing Middle School also erupted in cheers, the short-haired girl Ye Linghan pulled the No. 9 armband on her arm with an expressionless face.

The final question is which school will win in the end, and who will win the Grand Slam? ”

"Green 7! The student wrote all 22 correct attraction names, and one person scored 35 points for the whole team. It can also be said that he alone defeated the other 5 teams with less than 35 points. Let's congratulate him with a round of applause! ”

The referee finally said the serial number of the student with a perfect score, and turned the paper over for everyone to see.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Qin Ran's arm, and the "7" in the green armband was emitting a dazzling light.

I thought there would be other people who were all right, but I didn't expect that I would be the only one in the end. If it weren't for the team, he really wanted to deliberately get 2 answers wrong.

Qin Ran barely managed to squeeze out a smile in response to the thunderous applause that rang out from the audience.

"I really want to keep a low profile!"
