Three provincial competitions were shortlisted, and two more were selected with full marks.

So, Principal Luo excitedly came to another wave of "swearing-in meeting", and even wanted to call Yucheng TV station over, but unfortunately...others ignored him.

While Principal Luo led all the teachers and students to shout "We must win", Lu Li, Liu Qin, Dong Ke, and the teacher Yang Lin who led the team boarded the car.

It is worth mentioning that this car is Principal Luo's car.

Principal Luo also wanted to hang a flag on the car and write a letter to "Yucheng No. [-] Middle School Olympic Mathematics Team", but the driver tried hard to persuade him that "he would be caught by the traffic police" as an excuse, which dispelled Principal Luo's idea of ​​continuing to show off .

The driver started the car in a cold sweat and drove all the way out of Yucheng to Rongcheng, the provincial capital.

After driving along the highway for nearly two hours, Lu Li and his party arrived at the reception designated by the Provincial Competition Organizing Committee.

First register at the reception desk, check into the hotel, and then go to the "Nishikawa University" where the test center is located to familiarize yourself with the test room.

After finishing all this work, we had dinner, and then we went back to our rooms to sleep, recharge our energy, and prepare for tomorrow's provincial competition.

Lu Li and Dong Ke shared a room.

After entering the room, Lu Li took a shower and went straight to bed.

Dong Ke took out a book, sat at the table and read it.

"I said, are you still reading now? It's pointless to sharpen your guns! It's better to rest early and recover your energy!"

Seeing that Dong Ke was still reading, Lu Li couldn't help reminding him.

"I'm not sharpening my gun, I'm just nervous!"

Dong Ke turned around to look at Lu Li, with a wry smile on his face, "I have an exam tomorrow, and I'm nervous. I can only read a book to relax."

"Relieve tension?"

Lu Li grinned, with a strange expression on his face, "I think you've achieved half of it. The latter is gone, only the former remains."

Dong Ke: ...

what does it mean?what are you talking about?

Dong Ke was at a loss.

"The word nervous is divided into two halves. You understand it yourself!"

Lu Li reminded him, turned around and lay down on the bed, sleep!

Dong Ke was still wondering.nervous?split in half?The latter is gone, only the former remains...

Hemp wheat skin!

Dong Ke trembled all over.

This time... the "tight" and "Zhang" are gone.

……

The next morning, the provincial competition officially started.

Hundreds of academic masters from various cities and prefectures in the whole province gathered in a teaching building of "Xichuan University", and in just two and a half hours, they had a showdown.

The top five in the provincial competition are eligible to qualify for the national competition.The rest can only get comforts such as "first prize", "second prize" and "third prize".

Of course, for the vast majority of people, provincial awards are already a very important signboard.

Lu Li sat in the examination room.

In the spacious examination room in front of me, there are only twenty seats, and each seat is far apart.There are cameras at the front and back, and there are two invigilators at the front and back.

As expected of a provincial competition, the organization is more rigorous and the procedures are stricter.

The bell for the start of the test rang, and the invigilator handed out the test papers.

Lu Li picked up the test paper and looked it over. The test paper for this provincial competition...has very few questions, only four answer questions, involving four aspects of geometry, algebra, number theory, and combination.

No fill-in-the-blank, no choice, only answer questions!There are only four questions in total.

The first two questions are worth 40 points each, and the last two questions are worth 50 points each, with a full score of 180.

This kind of exam... If you make one mistake, you will deduct forty or fifty points, and if you make two mistakes, you will fail.If you can't solve a single question, you will pass the exam!

After reading the test paper, Lu Li clearly felt that the questions in the provincial competition were much more difficult than those in the municipal competition.

It seems... I'm afraid that some students will go back with zero eggs in the exam.

Lu Li couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional when he thought of those students who rushed to participate in the competition and returned with zero points in the exam.

Mathematical Olympiad is a game of genius.

Hundreds of people participated in the provincial competition, but only five people could qualify in the end!If the strength is slightly weaker, it will be eliminated.The competition is really cruel!

After a moment of emotion, Lu Li picked up the pen!

Compared with the easy-to-understand ease of the city competition, this time it is not so easy.

The topic is not unfamiliar.Lu Li has seen every question type.But at a glance, it makes people feel unpredictable and profound.

It's a pity that this won't trouble Lu Li.Thoughts are surging, inspiration is surging, and a difficult problem has been solved!After tearing off the camouflage, hey!It's still that little rascal!

These questions were only a little difficult for Lu Li.But... for others, it's different.

"Oh!"

"Oh! This classmate fainted!"

Lu Li was about to deal with the second "Little Wave Hoof", when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise, turned his head to look, and saw a black and thin boy with his eyes rolled white, fainted on the desk.

The invigilator quickly helped the student out.

well!Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, please come again next time, young hero!

Lu Li sighed and buried himself in the question again.

Chapter 45 What kind of school is Yucheng No. [-] Middle School?

The two and a half hour exam is finally over.

When they left the examination room, the candidates all looked pale and staggered, as if they had collapsed.

In more than two hours, he dealt with four "little waves" in a row, and those who were not strong enough naturally couldn't handle it.

"I can't solve a single problem!"

A candidate crouched in a corner, covering his face and sobbing.

"I just made one."

The next one passed the exam with a bitter face and red smoke rings.

The other candidates also felt sad and bowed their heads silently.

Lu Li walked out of the examination room and saw Dong Ke by the flower bed downstairs.

Dong Ke sat by the flower bed, his face was numb and sad.

"Dong Ke, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Lu Li hurried up.

"I……"

Dong Ke looked up at Lu Li, his eyes filled with pain, and tears rolled down his eyes, "I couldn't solve any of the questions. I got a zero. I got a zero."

Lu Li was silent.

The purpose of this kind of competition is to select the best among the best, and those who are slightly weaker will be eliminated.

There are only a few positions at the top of the pyramid, and those who cannot climb will naturally fall behind.

Dong Ke is very hardworking and serious, and he has paid a lot for the Mathematical Olympiad.It's a pity...the talent is a bit lacking.

This gap cannot be made up with hard work.

"It's okay. Isn't it just an exam? Mathematical Olympiad is not the whole of life, and even in terms of actual value, Mathematical Olympiad is insignificant at all."

Lu Li stretched out his hand to pull Dong Ke, "Let's go! Let's go back."

"I am fine."

Dong Ke pushed away Lu Li's hand and stood up by himself, with a bitter expression on his face, "It's just... I've worked hard for so many years since I was a child, and I just realized today that all this is meaningless, and I can't accept it."

After speaking, Dong Ke rubbed his face, turned around and walked outside.

At this time, Liu Qin also came out of the examination room.

"What's up with him?"

Seeing Dong Ke's distraught look, Liu Qin asked Lu Li.

"I didn't pass the exam."

Lu Li sighed.

"Oh!"

Liu Qin nodded and said nothing.

This kind of thing... can't be comforted even if you want to comfort it, you can only get out of the trough by yourself.

"How was your test?"

The two walked towards the school gate together, Lu Li asked Liu Qin.

"is acceptable."

Liu Qin smiled and glanced at Lu Li, "What about you?"

"Well, it's okay."

Lu Li also smiled, knowing it already.This "okay" means "very good".

All the way out of the Sichuan University campus, Teacher Yang Lin was already waiting at the school gate.Dong Ke stood behind Teacher Yang Lin, with red smoke rings and tears on his face, obviously he had just cried.

"Are you out?"

Seeing Lu Li and Liu Qin walk out of the school, Teacher Yang Lin greeted him with a smile, "The provincial test questions are more difficult. How...how did you do?"

"is acceptable."

Lu Li and Liu Qin smiled.

Seeing this, teacher Yang Lin's eyes flashed with surprise.

Since he said "not bad" and his face was very relaxed, he must have done well in the exam.Could it be... these two guys can still achieve good results in the provincial competition?

If you really get a good result in the provincial competition, then...it will be a surprise.Not to mention entering the national competition line, even if you get a second prize, it is a rare good result.

The best result in the history of Yucheng No. [-] Middle School was just winning the second prize in the provincial competition.

"Everyone has worked hard."

Teacher Yang Lin waved to Lu Li and the others, "Let's go back to the hotel to rest first. The results will come out tonight, and there will be an award ceremony tomorrow. After the award ceremony, we will return to Rain City."

Lu Li and his party returned to the hotel. After lunch, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Teacher Yang Lin did not return to his room, but returned to Xichuan University, and went outside the office of the Mathematical Olympiad Organizing Committee to wait for the results to come out.

At the entrance of the corridor next to the organizing committee office, there are already several leading teachers waiting.

"Are you waiting for your grades?"

Teacher Yang Lin leaned over, greeted with a smile, took out a cigarette box and gave a round of cigarettes to several colleagues.

"Yes!"

Several leading teachers, who were also waiting for their grades, took the cigarettes and lit them, and started chatting.

"Our Rongcheng No. [-] Middle School has a good seed this time, and it is possible to qualify. I couldn't sit still, so I came here to wait for news."

A middle-aged male teacher with a Mediterranean hairstyle took a puff of cigarette and said to Teacher Yang Lin.

"You have good seedlings in the Seventh Middle School, and our cotton middle school is not bad either!"

A tall, thin man next to him exhaled a smoke ring, and there was a sense of tit-for-tat in his words.

Rongcheng Seventh Middle School and Mianzhong Middle School have been old rivals for many years, and they compete fiercely on various occasions.
