Chapter 541: Meet the Grandfather and Grandson Again
The unbelievable primary elimination mechanism, such a rare competition quota does not give enough space for the contestants to show.
What is even more unacceptable is that the preliminary round is not a fair and linear selection of the top 50 from 5,000 people, but according to the distribution of the examination room, the screening is average, and only the first place in each examination room is required!
What is this concept?
The luck component will occupy a large share in the screening, and the saying "it is better to move well than to move well" can easily occupy the main theme.
If several players who are strong enough to challenge for the winner are placed in the same examination room, then only one of them will remain, and the others are destined to be the 99% of those who are nameless.
What's even more exaggerated is that the questions in each exam room in the preliminary round are not necessarily the same, there may be several exam rooms that are the same, or all the exam rooms are different.
In short, the randomness is amplified to the maximum.
How is this acceptable?
Of course, the MT event official also has a saying: our event is to select the final No.1, will the final No.1 be eliminated in the preliminary round because of this format? Is there any problem in beating all competitors to get first? If you can't do it, don't blame the road for being uneven.
This remark is indeed conducive to an invincible position.
After eliminating 99% of the participants in the preliminary round, the process of the semi-finals was rigorous enough, relying on multiple rounds of selection to accumulate points, and finally ranked first to fifth.
Just because the official rhetoric of the tournament is invincible does not mean that there will be no protests against such rules.
This rule has never stopped controversy since it was set, and many experts and scholars have suggested that the event party should reform the system, and the event party will collect every opinion, claiming that it will carefully consider it, and then, and then there will be no then.
What if you don't approve of it?
If you can't accept it, don't come, there are so many gold-rich competitions in the world to participate in, why hang yourself on my tree?
There are protests every time, but the next one will become more difficult to get a spot.
So over the years, the rules of MT racing have not changed.
What greets Qianqian at this moment is the most brutal preliminary selection in the history of the world competition, and only by defeating all the players in the square can she win the qualification!
When the time came, a staff member came out to direct the order, and parents and children lined up to register in front.
In fact, the registration process is not complicated, that is, to confirm whether the contestants are true, and let parents scan the code to download a software, which can query the information of all contestants in real time, including name, age, examination room, results and other items, enter the semi-final stage, and also view the ranking of contestants in real time.
In the process of queuing, Lin Qi unexpectedly saw two familiar figures.
Old man Xu and his grandson Xu Xu.
Of course, Lin Qi heard the chat between his grandfather and grandson, and knew what competition they were here to participate in, but he didn't expect that what they participated in was also an MT competition.
"Qianqian, look over there."
Lin Qi reminded Qianqian.
"Hey, Grandpa Xu and his grandson!"
There are not many faces of Xia Guo in the square, and when she meets an acquaintance in such a foreign country, Qianqian's first reaction is excitement and happiness!
The little girl really doesn't have any heart in this regard, she only knows that this old and young girl played chess with her in the airport waiting room, and the process was quite pleasant, and they were two good people.
Didn't think of the competitor at all.
"Let's say hello when the registration is done."
In fact, you can also go now, but Lin Qi can overhear the conversation over there and feel that it is better to wait for a while.
Old man Xu was giving his grandson pre-exam mobilization encouragement, but to Lin Qi's ears, it was a bit like pressure.
"Xuxu, grandpa will tell you two more words, your quota this time is something that your parents have spent a lot of effort and many layers of relationships to get it, you have to cherish this hard-won opportunity.
Although the format of this competition is a bit strange, but you have also received a lot of tutoring, you must have something to gain, you must be calm and calm when you take the test, don't panic when you go, even if you don't know how to do it, you should try to express your understanding of the topic, and be able to get closer to the correct answer is a point.
And try to abstract your solution into the field of mathematics, after all, mathematics is an unavoidable link in this kind of intellectual competition, and it is right to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
Grandpa believes that your math skills are no worse than anyone present.
There should be plenty of time, so don't panic and give it your all......"
Xu Xu'er mentioned his face and kept every word of his grandfather's instructions firmly in his heart.
This kind of conversation even made Lin Qimeng go back to before the college entrance examination, and the conversation content of other families at the moment was similar, Lin Qi, as a pervert who was proficient in all languages, simply "eavesdropped" all the conversations in the vicinity.
So what should I tell Qianqian in the end?
Lin Qi stared at Qianqian for a while, Qianqian was wearing a brand-new little dress today, with puff sleeves on her arms and bloomers on her lower body, a bit like a little witch who came out of the animation.
"Huh?"
Sensing that Lin Qi was looking at her, Qianqian also tilted her head, put her head against Lin Qi, and winked at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi seemed to have figured out what to say.
"What do you want to eat at noon today?"
"Want to eat... Fish! ”
Qianqian was quick to give an answer.
"Okay, in the morning, Teacher Fang and I will go to the nearby stepping spot."
Lin Qi gave her a "yes" gesture.
Tell me or something, I don't need to.
Fang Ru watched the interaction between Lin Qi and Qianqian with a smile on her face, and quietly interlocked her fingers with Lin Qi's other hand.
Soon it was Qianqian's turn to register, and after the staff confirmed that Qianqian was participating in the competition, they issued her an admission card, Lin Qi nodded at Qianqian, and Qianqian happily ran towards the "old man".
"Hello Grandpa Xu, and Brother Xu!" Qianqian was very polite and greeted.
Hearing Qianqian's voice, the grandfather and grandson turned around at the same time, and their faces showed expressions of surprise.
"Qianqian?"
Xu Xu exclaimed directly, the little girl in front of him was a small shadow in his past few days, because of the experience of that day in the airport lounge, Xu Xu had not played chess for a week.
"Girl, why are you here?" Old man Xu asked.
"Participate in the competition." Qianqian replied as a matter of course.
Then Old Man Xu noticed the admission ticket in Qianqian's hand.
"Really."
Old man Xu looked up at the vicinity, and Lin Qi and Fang Ru beckoned to him in a friendly manner.
"It's so daring for a girl to come to this kind of competition at such a young age."
Old man Xu is very sincere, how many things can an eight- or nine-year-old child understand, it's really good to be here, and Qianqian's state knows at a glance that she was not forced to come by her family.
"Have you been preparing for a long time?" Xu Xu asked Qianqian with a little nervousness.
He really didn't dare to despise Qianqian from age, after all, he had already been "abused" once.
If she also has that kind of talent in the competitive field, wouldn't she be in danger of qualifying?
Qianqian shook her head: "My brother said that there is no need to prepare." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that I didn't have much preparation... She's not my competitor...
Old man Xu also smiled with relief, little girl, there is really no need to prepare, the focus is on participation.
Qianqian chatted here for a while, but with a call from the staff, it was time to enter the examination room.
