Downtown Chicago.

Illinois, after the math Olympiad regional preliminaries.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

Walking out of the hall, three sneezes sounded, followed by snot.

"Captain, how the hell do you know?"

The African guy wiped his nose with a tissue and asked in a nasal voice, "Obviously the weather forecast says there is no rain!"

"Your captain is your captain!"

Owen reprimanded with a bad face: "I said that there is rain is rain, I didn't listen to it before, I got sick for a week, and I haven't gotten better yet, if it weren't for Katie's wonderful performance today, we wouldn't even be able to pass the preliminaries!"

"Captain, we were wrong. ”

Olympiad team members A and B apologized with sad faces: "Katie, fortunately there are you and the captain." ”

They just wanted to stay at the party for a while, waiting for the chance of a thousand times, who would have thought that half an hour after Owen left, it really started to rain heavily, and it didn't stop until they left, and it rained all night, one by one, like chickens in soup.

are all mental workers, 'delicate bodies', this rain suddenly became sick, and to Owen's expectations, it was not good for a whole week, and in today's preliminaries, one by one was dying, and the performance can be imagined.

"It's nothing, you're sick. ”

Katie waved her hand and laughed.

Ever since she was disgusted by Queen Bee Regina George's 'Britney', Katie has been very resistant to the youth royal trio, and with the Owen belt, she has not mixed with them in various ways like in the original time and space, and she has naturally become the main force of the Olympiad team.

"Today is a narrow victory!"

Owen said in a deep voice: "Next week is the semifinals, you can't delay any longer, take care of your illness during this time, if there is another problem, I promise, your future high school life will be very exciting." ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

The three African guys trembled, and they didn't even have the courage to talk back, so they agreed honestly.

IQ activities like the Olympiad team, which belong to the elite class, are very niche in public high schools, and those who participate in them will be bullied by those who think they are cool such as football, baseball, cheerleading, etc., because the other party belongs to the civilian class.

Before entering the society, the elite class could not suppress the civilian class in an all-round way, on the contrary, at this time, the civilian class, which was more numerous, would in turn oppress the elite, which was very common in the United States.

In the Big Bang Theory Seven, Sheldon and other five PhDs and Howard, a genius engineer, were bullied in various ways during their time in school, and until many years later, there were psychological shadows.

Bernadette and Amy enjoy their best friend relationship with Penny, the 'high school bully', because this is something they yearn for but can't achieve during school.

The Olympiad team of North Shore Public High School, because of the addition of Owen, there is not so much bullying by Chi Guoguo, so that the African guy trio enjoys unprecedented calm, and even occasionally Owen is in a good mood, and can take them to the party, although they have not succeeded from beginning to end, but the emphasis is on participation.

So the price of angering Owen is something they don't want to bear!

A week later.

The three African guys who honestly recovered from their illnesses played exceptionally in the regional semifinals, defeated their opponents steadily, and entered the regional finals, and their opponents were Carmel High School.

Finals Day.

Bang Bang Bang!

Owen clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Okay, a few months of training, it's up to tonight, the opponent is the famous Carmel Private High School, they will be the strongest opponent we have ever encountered, this battle, we must go all out to win the Illinois regional finals championship!"

"Champion!×4!"

They are all high-IQ talents, although Owen didn't say it, but they all know that the regional finals will be their end, and they don't have any chance at all in the national competition, because they are just talented talents, and there is a world of difference from real geniuses!

A very simple example, when they are competing, they still need to use paper and pen to do a simple quick calculation, but a genius like Sheldon has always been directly mentally arithmetic, and the calculator or something is completely meaningless to them at this stage, and they can report the answer to extremely complex calculations in one bite.

Not to mention, geniuses like Sheldon, their learning progress often can't be measured by grade, although they are still in high school because of their age, but in fact, their knowledge is far beyond that of any high school teacher, and they are not at the same level as Owen.

Just ask, is there any chance of winning against such a genius?

"Work hard!"

Owen also clenched his fists, and his heart was quite heavy, because he had a system, and when he saw the opponent in Carmel High School, he had already seen the opponent's intelligence through the system.

The four lv4 who are the same as Owen have natural intelligence, but the captain of the other party is a genius lv5-intelligence, although it is two levels worse, far inferior to Sheldon's lv5+, but it still puts a lot of pressure on Owen.

Inside the Great Hall.

Behind the two rows of opposing debate tables, five members from each side, in front of a large screen in the middle, a moderator with a microphone began by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, and welcome to the Illinois Math Olympiad Regional Finals, start now, first question."

There are 2 numbers, 2 times the larger value minus 3 is 5 times the smaller value, and the sum of 4 times the large value and 3 times the small value is 71.

Honk!

Honk!

The two rush buttons were pressed almost simultaneously.

"Carmel High School?"

The moderator looked at Carmel High School, which was slightly faster.

In Carmel High School's five-person squad, the captain standing in the middle, a handsome white boy, glanced at Owen disdainfully and replied, "14 and 5." ”

"That's right!"

The host affirmed, "Next question!"

This kind of game is not only a competition of intelligence, but also a competition of physical strength and energy, although Carmel High School has a captain of lv5-, but in a high-intensity game that lasts for nearly 90 minutes, the players on both sides are a little lacking in energy, and the captain of the other side is even worse.

Owen's original endurance is lv2+, and there is an alternative blessing effect of skill 1, his energy is much stronger than that of normal people, he maintains the best state throughout the whole process, his thinking is quick, and in the final stage, he successfully answered again and again, tied the score in one fell swoop, and entered the stage of death elimination.

Carmel High School also has a female player, after Owen's observation, although the other party is not bronze, but it is too far away from the king, looking at the opponent's captain from time to time in the big score lead stage and her eyebrows, it is obvious that the opposing captain is pretending to be forced to take his sister to score points.

"We pick Kraft. ”

As soon as Owen's words came out, the other party suddenly panicked, and the female player Kraft looked at their captain with blank eyes.

The captain of the other party looked at Owen hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "We also choose their female players." ”
