Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 149 - 91 I Humbly Say_2

"Uh... the national competition in Linhai isn’t using the unified national test by the Mathematics Society, right? Or is there a bonus-point system in your competition? Of course, if the top three scores over there can exceed perfect scores, then I really have no way to get first place."

As soon as this message popped up, Yu Yongjun started spamming with memes.

The first one was a panda face, looking shocked, the second was a cat face, stifling a laugh, and the third was a little person worshiping, quickly followed by a message: "Mighty boss! Someone, reveal yourself!"

Then he flamboyantly @Chu Buzhi, boasting: "Come out, stop playing dead, do you have anything to say? Don’t play dead, classroom escape, cellphone smash-and-dash... don’t play the losing game! If not, I’ll despise you! You weren’t really so mad you smashed your phone, were you?"

Moments later, Yu Wei emerged with his usual cold text: "Even if someone despises me, it should be Qiao Yu! What right do you, the fifth-place in Shuangqing, have to look down on me?"

Then Yu Wei also @Qiao Yu: "No need for more words, see you at the national competition! I will definitely surpass you!"

Qiao Yu quickly replied: "Well, to be frank... do you even believe what you’re saying?"

Yu Wei: "Hehe..."

Qiao Yu rapidly answered again: "But it’s not entirely impossible, I just thought of a near-perfect plan, want to hear it?"

Yu Wei: "..."

Qiao Yu: "You see, we’ll be competing for two days, right? On the first day, we both do our best on the exams, and since I can definitely perfect the first day’s three problems, on the second day, based on your performance, I can hold back a little, maybe skip a problem or something, to fulfill your wish.

In exchange, after you successfully beat me once, you also generously fulfill a small wish of mine, we both win, what do you say?"

Yu Wei: "Hehe, sorry, not interested!"

Yu Yongjun: "Wow, boss, next time can you discuss these things privately with that guy who has a strangely inexplicable sense of pride? I’m really afraid that guy might suddenly think face isn’t that important and might actually agree to your suggestion, then wouldn’t you two discuss how to get rid of me? I’m so scared!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Yu Wei: "You get lost!"

Qiao Yu: "..."

...

Qiao Yu felt very frustrated, Yu Wei was still too young, too inflexible.

Such a proposal, which could bring joy with just a little effort and was clearly a win-win, was flatly rejected by Yu Wei, without even discussing the feasibility of this idea in private.

After all, he genuinely thought he could perform such a small operation.

Anyway, Railway First Middle School just required him to get into the national training team and then score a gold medal at the IMO. To get into the national training team, it was enough to be in the top sixty. Based on past competitions, the national team’s scores generally ranged between 84-90 points.

Each problem in the CMO is worth three times the points of the IMO, that means 21 points, with a total of six problems over two days, giving a total of 126 points.

So, if he ensures all the other questions are completely correct, even by missing one question, he could score 105 points, and if he pushes the limits a bit, taking a slight risk, he could even give Yu Wei half a question.

Unfortunately, the rich second generation guy was so rigid and principled, he didn’t even know how to criticize that guy!

A rich second generation lacking compassion, five-star bad review!

Nonetheless, it was quite satisfying that all the friends in the group smoothly entered the provincial team, and everyone would soon be meeting in Ningshui.

Qiao Yu actually looked forward to seeing if the two would really start fighting when meeting offline.

Well, judging by size, if no one intervened, Yu Wei would definitely be at a disadvantage. Especially with Yu Wei’s personality and the connections he showed at the Little Alibaba Mathematics Competition, if he got beaten up, aside from teachers, probably no one would step in.

Qiao Yu was already considering whether, when everyone arrived in Ningshui, he should create more opportunities for the three to be alone together.

This way, if they started fighting, he might have the chance to play hero and save the rich guy.

Thinking about it made him quite happy.

...

Qiao Yu felt happy, and naturally, the principal and teachers at Railway First Middle School felt even happier.

To be honest, this year’s nationwide math competition results at Xingtie First Middle School weren’t all that great. Perhaps this was due to the notoriously difficult exam this year, so, out of the five students from Xingtie First Middle School who registered for the competition, all except Qiao Yu failed to win even a provincial third place.

But obviously this small setback didn’t matter; after the results were out, the school remained in a cheerful mood.

The banner congratulating Qiao Yu for winning the Little Alibaba International Mathematics Competition gold medal has already been taken down, but a new banner congratulating him for being the Xingnan Province first-place winner in the National High School Mathematics League went up seamlessly.

The school’s public account posted three photos, with Qiao Yu appearing in all of them.

There was one with Qiao Yu and Principal Zhang under the banner, one with Qiao Yu and Teacher Lan Jie, and lastly, a group photo with Qiao Yu and several school leaders along with his middle and high school homeroom teachers.

Though there wasn’t a special interview, the last group photo also appeared in the following day’s "Xingnan Daily" and "Star City Morning News".

So Qiao Yu knew he’d made it to the newspaper again, mainly because Principal Zhang considerately gave him two copies the next day for keepsake. Qiao Yu then passed those on to Xia Keke over the weekend.

After all, Qiao Yu really didn’t see what was worth commemorating about it.
