Chapter 454: International Mathematics Olympiad
[Thank you to the "layman" for becoming the first leader of this book, especially more!] 】
Sitting in the car back to Taoyuan, Liu Mengnian leaned into the system and entered the task column, and sure enough, he found that 5 of the first requirements of the six municipal competitions had been completed.
At the same time, the requirement of being the first in the city in the three final examinations has also been completed. The "Superior Upgrade" quest requirement is arguably half done.
Looking at the unfinished national competition first, Liu Meng couldn't help muttering after retracting his thoughts: "Tonight, Xiaoqiang and they should have a game in the United States, right?" ”
The International Mathematics Olympiad is held by participating countries as the host country in turn, and this year it is the turn of the world's top powerhouse, Mi Guo. The time zones of rice and China are very different, Huaguo is daytime, and rice country is night, so Liu Meng will say that Zhang Ziqiang participated in the competition "at night".
After the high school unified examination in mid-July, Zhang Ziqiang was exceptionally admitted to the Huaguo Olympiad Summer Camp of Mizuki University.
In order to achieve the due honor of a great country in the International Mathematics Olympiad, every year Huaguo will select young people aged 16 to 18 from all over the country, generally high school students with great mathematical talent, to enter Mizuki University to participate in the Olympiad Summer Camp and conduct intensive training.
There are dozens of mathematical geniuses who participate in the training camp every year, but only 6 people can represent China in the International Mathematics Olympiad!
It's not that China is unwilling to send more people to participate, but the official organization of the Olympiad stipulates that there shall be no more than 8 team members from all countries, including no more than 6 team members, and one team leader and one deputy team leader.
After a month of intensive training at Shuimu University, Zhang Ziqiang participated in the summer camp quota selection examination, and finally won the first place and was selected for the Huaguo team.
That was ten days ago.
After that, the official organization of the Olympiad in China conducted a week of intensive special training for Zhang Ziqiang's six team members. After the special training, the day before yesterday, a team was formed to go to the United States to do the adaptation and preparation before the competition.
Because the Yanjing Youth Computer Application Contest ended at half past six in the afternoon, Liu Meng and Liu Fang returned to Taoyuan School. It's past seven o'clock.
Seeing that the time was not early, Liu Meng said to Liu Fang after getting out of the car: "Go back quickly, and tell your grandma about the happy event that you won the championship." ”
"Hmm!"
It's been almost an hour since the game ended, but Liu Fang is still unspeakably excited. Hearing Liu Meng's words, he nodded heavily, grabbed the backpack containing the trophy, and ran home.
Looking at Liu Fang's distant back, Liu Meng smiled and shook his head, and walked into the school gate.
By this time, it was just after dusk, and it was already dark. Because Taoyuan High School has a screen wall, the scenery is different. didn't walk a few dozen steps, Liu Meng saw a familiar figure on a campus path.
A floral long skirt with a blue background, hair tied to the side at will, and a look looking into the distance, showing the style of a mature woman, made Liu Meng can't help but take a few more looks.
"Sister Qu, what are you doing here?" Liu Meng walked up to Qu Jing and asked.
"Is the headmaster back?" Qu Jing saw Liu Meng at this time. His face was slightly red, and he looked a little embarrassed, and then asked, "What was the result of the competition with your students?" ”
Liu Meng smiled when he heard this: "Didn't I call the school in advance to tell the school that we won the championship." How. Sister Qu doesn't know? ”
"I just came out of my dorm." Qu Jing pulled the bangs on one side to her ear and said.
"That's right." Liu Meng nodded in understanding.
Qu Jing didn't know many people from Taoyuan High School, so after she came, she stayed in the student dormitory most of the time and didn't communicate much with the teachers at the school. Liu Meng was not ready to let Qu Jing change anything, because it would take another three or four days. After Zhang Ziqiang came back on the 29th, Qu Jing was going to take Zhang Zixiang and Gan Fei back to Taoyuan.
"What about Feifei and Xiaoxiang?" Liu Meng asked again.
"When I'm in the school building with Shuangshuang, I don't know if I'm playing or studying." When saying this. Qu Jing smiled slightly, obviously not worried about the child's learning at all.
Thinking of Qu Jing's look looking into the distance before, Liu Meng's heart moved and asked: "Is Sister Qu worried about Xiaoqiang?" ”
"yes." Qu Jing nodded, "After all, Xiaoqiang is going to the United States for the first time, although it is only a few days, he still has to participate in the competition, and he doesn't know if he is suitable for life." ”
Generally speaking, people who have not been abroad for a long time go to a country with a large difference in time zone, especially for the first time, and it takes several days to reverse the jet lag. Coupled with changes in diet and social environment, it may take a long time to adapt.
Of course, Zhang Ziqiang and they don't need to adapt to the diet and social environment, after all, they only stayed for a few days. As for the time difference, as early as the last week of training at Mizuki University, the players began to change their schedules and prepare for the competition in the United States.
Thinking of this, Liu Meng said to Qu Jing: "Sister Qu, don't worry, Xiaoqiang's team leader in the United States will take care of him." Besides, he will be back in two or three days. ”
"Hmm." Qu Jing nodded, and then said, "The cafeteria is open, I'll call Shuangshuang and them." ”
"I'm with Sister Qu."
After speaking, Liu Meng and Qu Jing walked towards the teaching building together.
While walking, Liu Meng's mind probed into the system again, and in the basic information of Taoyuan School, he found the student information of the Taoyuan High School branch, called up Zhang Ziqiang's name from it, and then silently recited in his heart: "Please transfer the aura of luck to Zhang Ziqiang, the first (1) class of Taoyuan High School." ”
In an instant, Liu Meng's right index finger shot out a faint red-purple light, penetrating the void and entering the system, flashing away in Zhang Ziqiang's name. After that, the background of Zhang Ziqiang's name in the system became a mysterious luck halo pattern.
This is a method of using the luck aura that Liu Meng experimented with when he was idle before-when the target to project the luck aura is out of Liu Meng's line of sight, or even thousands of miles away, he can use the above method to cast the aura on the student, and have the same effect.
Liu Meng had already calculated, and at seven o'clock yesterday afternoon, he put the aura of luck on Liu Fang. Now that 24 hours have passed, the aura of luck has returned to Liu Meng, and Liu Meng has put it on Zhang Ziqiang, who is far away in the United States.
Speaking of which, the aura of luck seems to be not limited by the weakening effect of the aura of the school. Liu Meng hopes that the aura of luck can help Zhang Ziqiang achieve good results in the International Olympiad.
When Liu Meng and the others were about to have dinner, Zhang Ziqiang, who was far away in Yanjing, was eating a Chinese breakfast specially prepared by the team leader and the hotel.
"Xiaoqiang, this soy milk looks very good, why is it worse than the domestic one? And this bun, how to eat it, how wrong to taste! ”
Next to Zhang Ziqiang, a girl with large white square-framed glasses frowned and put aside the half-drunk soy milk. After eating a bun, I couldn't help but keep complaining.
"Jian Fangge, I said you don't pick and choose. Look at Xiaoqiang, it's almost finished. According to the plan, we have to go out for a walk after breakfast to get some breath and get ready for the nine o'clock race. A slightly chubby young man with bangs next to the girl said.
The girl waited for a glance at the chubby boy when she heard the voice, and pouted: "Fang Yuan, do you think I am like you, I can eat so much anywhere?" ”
After speaking, the girl beckoned to a waiter not far away, "Bring me a toast and warm milk!" (To be continued......)
PS: The number of words added is slightly less than promised, and there will be a chance to make up for it later.
I was tired of other things today, and I was going to rest, but I couldn't sleep.
Thank you all for your support!
