"I thought he was already in his senior year of high school, but he was only a sophomore in high school. How many years has he been involved in competitions?" someone asked.

For such students, everyone assumes that they have been exposed to competitions since junior high school or even elementary school.

"How many years are there? Not even half a year.

Even if we start counting from June, it has only been less than three months now." Fang Qiu said.

While Fang Qiu and the others were chatting about Zhao Xiancai, Zhao Xiancai had already walked to the place where the car was parked.

The bus they chartered when they came to the city parked not far from Yixiu No. 1 Middle School. The hotel over there had already been rented out. After other students had finished their exams, they could get on the bus and go back directly.

Now that the test questions for the preliminary round were all finished, Zhao Xiancai didn't want to listen to Fang Qiu and the others bragging about how awesome they were, so he got to the car early and sat down.

"Three months?"

On Fang Qiu's side, when everyone heard that Zhao Xiancai had only been involved in competition for less than three months, their faces were full of disbelief.

“If you don’t encounter this kind of thing in person, it’s really hard to believe it.

But that’s the truth, and there’s no need for me to lie to you, right?” Fang Qiu said.

When the exam time was over, all the candidates who participated in the preliminary round handed in their papers. After leaving the exam room, the leading teachers who gathered together to discuss various competition-related matters had to disperse.

"You finished it in thirty minutes? Is it true?"

"Fuck, are you so awesome? At the end of the final exam, I still had a few questions that I couldn't figure out."

"Me too, I didn't write down a few of the fill-in-the-blank questions, and I didn't write all the big questions."

The students who were in the same examination room as Zhao Xiancai chatted with other students about Zhao Xiancai after they came out.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately aroused great discussion among the students from Chengxian No. 1 Middle School who came to participate in the competition.

Teachers from other places and schools naturally told the story about Zhao Xiancai. After they returned to their respective schools, the news about Zhao Xiancai in this preliminary competition would soon spread throughout the provinces of Yixiu City.

Model high school.

As for schools that are not provincial model high schools, they will not even arrange for students to participate in competitions, let alone spread the news about Zhao Xiancai.

During the high school entrance examination, there was actually a shunting process. Those "good students" who achieved high scores, whether because of hard work or talent, all went to good schools.

And those students with relatively poor grades went to relatively ordinary schools.

The purpose of these relatively ordinary schools is very simple, which is to allow more people to have a place in school after the college entrance examination.

As for competitions, that's not what they consider.

There is also a group of students with particularly poor grades who either go to high schools where the undergraduate admission rate is less than 1% every year, or go directly to vocational high schools, or simply go out to work directly.

The thousands of students in the two provincial model high schools in Chengxian County, at least when they enter high school, are already considered the best among their peers in the county.

After all the students got on the bus, and after Fang Qiu and Lin Guangqiang made sure that everyone was present without leaving the ground, they took the bus to a small restaurant and had lunch before embarking on the road back to Chengxian.

"Have you finished writing this final exam?"

"How did you do the last question?"

"How did you write the first fill-in-the-blank question?"

In the car, the classmates sitting around Zhao Xiancai asked Zhao Xiancai various things about the exam.

"Zhao Xiancai told us about the test questions for this preliminary round after he came out.

If you are still interested after you go back, I will explain it to you, so you don’t have to worry."

Seeing that everyone was so excited about the discussion about the preliminary test questions, and in order to make Zhao Xiancai a little clearer, Lin Guangqiang said to everyone.

After saying this, he sat down and asked Fang Qiu next to him: "How many students in our school do you think can participate in the league this year?"

"I think including Zhao Xiancai, there should be only three or four at most. What do you think?"

"I have the same opinion as you. In fact, I think Zhao Xiancai no longer needs to participate in the tutoring classes in school for the content of the subsequent league games."

They just chatted in the car.

After Zhao Xiancai finished dealing with the classmates around him, he closed his eyes and took a nap.

Although the students in the car knew that most of them could not even pass the preliminary round and would not be able to participate in the league, they were still very enthusiastic about discussing the preliminary test questions in the morning.

"How did you calculate the fill-in-the-blank question about simplifying trigonometric functions?"

"I used the triple angle formula."

"I also know that we need to use the triple angle formula, but I have been calculating on the scratch paper for a long time and still can't figure it out. How did you use the triple angle formula to calculate it?"

"Question 10: f(x)=x2?"

"x2? I'm not x2, who are you?"

…

After taking a nap in the car for more than half an hour, Zhao Xiancai woke up.

After waking up, Zhao Xiancai first looked at the time, then rubbed his eyes and began to look at the scenery passing by outside the window.

Although Yixiu City is not a big city, even in Wanhui Province, it is an unremarkable city, but compared with Chengxian County, it is indeed more prosperous.

As far as the environment on campus is concerned, Chengxian No. 1 Middle School is considered the best among all high schools in Chengxian County, but compared with Yixiu No. 1 Middle School, it is still much worse.

As Zhao Xian grew up, he rarely left the county town, let alone save time.

As for the world outside Chengxian County, he had always learned about it through television. Now that he has a mobile phone, he has another way to learn about it through the Internet.

This time going to Yixiu No. 1 Middle School to participate in this year's National High School Mathematics League Wanhui Division Preliminary Round also made Zhao Xiancai yearn for the outside world even more and want to see the outside world.

Zhao Xiancai just looked out the car window at the trees, farmland and houses passing by while thinking about these things in his heart.

When they arrived at the school, it was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, and other students who had not participated in the competition were still doing papers in the classroom.

"Okay, this preliminary round is over, and most of you have nothing to do with the rest of the league.

Now, just focus on the college entrance examination. When the results come out in a few days, I will notify the students who need to participate in the league.

For those students who have not received the notification, please stop thinking about the competition. Just treat this competition as an experience...

Tonight during evening self-study time, I will explain the test questions for this exam in the classroom where I taught you before. If you are interested, you can come and listen."

After the bus stopped, Lin Guangqiang stood up and said to the students in the car.
Chapter completed!
