"There are a few more answering questions later. The class representative will come up and copy these answering questions on the blackboard. You should also copy them down and think about them carefully.

I’ll tell you again tomorrow night.”

After saying that, Fang Qiu asked Cheng Zhijun to go up and copy the questions.

Although Zhao Xiancai is now ranked first in the whole grade in mathematics, the math class representative of his class has always been Cheng Zhijun, and has not been changed because Zhao Xiancai's mathematics scores have improved.

This was mainly because Zhao Xiancai felt that being a class representative was too troublesome. Not only did he have to manage things like collecting homework, distributing homework, and handing out test papers, but sometimes the teacher was late and he had to help call the teacher.

Sometimes, like Cheng Zhijun now, he has to help the teacher copy questions on the blackboard.

"9. Let the side length of the base of a regular triangular pyramid be 1..."

While Cheng Zhijun was copying the questions, Fang Qiu had already called Zhao Xiancai out of the classroom alone.

Standing by the handrail of the corridor outside the classroom, Fang Qiu said to Zhao Xiancai: "Based on your performance in this preliminary competition, it is considered safe to join the league and enter the provincial team.

Teacher Lin said that with your current learning progress, there is no need to participate in his later competition tutoring.

After the results of the preliminary round come out in two days and the league participants are confirmed, the competition coaching from Teacher Lin will begin again.

Since there will not be many people participating in the league in our school, the tutoring for the math competition league will not be the same big classroom as before.

It's up to you whether you go or not, but I still want to talk to you about this matter.

If you decide to go, please contact Teacher Lin."

"I'm not going to go to the following tutorials, but I want to buy some more competition information books and some video materials." Zhao Xiancai said.

As for Lin Guangqiang's preliminary test questions tonight in the previous tutoring classroom, Zhao Xiancai did not go either.

"No problem, you can tell me whatever materials you plan to buy. As long as it's not too outrageous, I believe the school will agree."

After hearing what Zhao Xiancai said, Fang Qiu said casually.

"Too outrageous? I don't know what is too outrageous?" Zhao Xiancai asked with some confusion.

"Well...it's probably just the cost of funds.

I guess the registration fee for your subsequent exams, if you go to a winter camp, and food expenses, etc., will also cost money. There is no doubt that these schools will reimburse them.

However, if just some competition information books and videos cost tens of thousands of dollars, it would be unreasonable, and the school probably would not be able to reimburse them all.

Of course, the school can still reimburse you for thousands of dollars."

Fang Qiu said, it turns out that whether what he said is outrageous or not mainly depends on how much it costs.

"It's not a big deal if it's over ten thousand. During the previous summer vacation, I printed out a lot of information online.

I just bought some competition questions from other countries, as well as videos of explanations by famous teachers, so I could check for any gaps.

If possible, I would like to buy a few more college mathematics books and read them."

Zhao Xiancai said.

“A college math book?

Are you planning to apply for a mathematics major in college?"

After hearing what Zhao Xiancai said, Fang Qiu also came to take an interest and asked him that he had indeed not heard Zhao Xiancai say what major he planned to study in college until now.

"I feel that I am quite interested in mathematics, and I have indeed thought about choosing a mathematics major after going to college." Zhao Xiancai said.

“There are so many mathematics books for mathematics majors, and college mathematics and high school mathematics are completely different concepts.

Don't think that just because you can do the questions in the competition, you have a thorough understanding of mathematics.

Although many competition questions have a background in advanced mathematics, these so-called questions are actually just lemmas in other people's papers.

Maybe a competition question that you contestants have racked your brains to solve is just a small and inconspicuous problem solved in someone else's paper.

The competition mainly cultivates your sensitivity and intuition to mathematics, as well as some skills...

I'm going too far, let's go back to what you just said.

When I was in college, I was not a pure mathematics major, so I didn’t know much about this aspect.

Mathematics majors who have just entered their freshman year should study "Mathematical Analysis I" and "Advanced Algebra I", which should be different from the "Advanced Mathematics" that non-mathematics majors study.

You are only a sophomore in high school now. Even if you do make it to the national team and get recommended to Mizuki or Beijing University, you still have to wait until next year to go to school. Are you thinking about studying the contents of university on your own so early?

I remember Teacher Lin told me before that high school mathematics competitions don’t actually have much content about college.

In the International Olympiad, it seems that physics involves more university knowledge, so you don’t need to be in such a hurry to study university content on your own.

Of course, I'm just stating my opinion.

The university's mathematics textbook has nothing to do with the competition, so I'm afraid the school won't agree to reimburse it.

By the way, since we are talking about college, if you really make it to the national training team and get the recommendation, will you be going to Beijing University or Mizuki?"

Fang Qiu said.

If you ask about the top two universities in the country, the answer is undoubtedly Mizuki and Kyoto.

But if you ask the top three universities in the country, different people may give different answers.

It is very likely that if you ask ten people about the university ranked third, they will give you ten answers.

“I heard that Peking University is ranked number one in mathematics among all the universities in our country.

If this is the case, then I should choose Peking University." Zhao Xiancai said.

Which university to choose will only be known later.

“It’s too early to say this now, we’ll talk about it later when you join the provincial team.

Just like last time, you go back and write down all the information books and video coaching materials you want to buy, and then give them to me.

You don’t have much money on you, so give me your list and I’ll buy it for you and reimburse you.”

Fang Qiu said again.

While Zhao Xiancai and Fang Qiu were standing at the door of the classroom, blowing in the wind and chatting, some students sitting by the window in the classroom were also listening to their conversation with their ears pricked up.

It wasn't until Zhao Xian returned to his seat and Fang Qiu walked into the classroom that everyone pretended to focus on the topic on the blackboard again.

After the evening self-study was over and they returned to the rental house, Zhao Xiancai and Yu Shujun walked together again.

It's just that this time Yu Shujun didn't have to rush out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang, ran to the school gate, stood on tiptoes and looked around.

"I feel like you are progressing really fast." Yu Shujun said.

"Um."

Zhao Xiancai didn't know why Yu Shujun suddenly said this today. He didn't make rapid progress only in the past two days, so he just nodded, hummed, and didn't say anything else.

"The temperature has dropped recently, and it's a bit cold at night even if I wear a single coat." Yu Shujun added.

"Yeah, tonight is a little colder than before."

Zhao Xiancai felt that Yu Shujun seemed a little strange tonight. Why did the topic suddenly change from progress to temperature?

"Are you planning to go to Beijing University in college?"

Yu Shujun asked again. It seemed that when Zhao Xiancai and Fang Qiu were chatting at the door of the classroom, she also heard their conversation.

"I haven't decided yet, but I think I will go to Beijing University." Zhao Xiancai said.

After Zhao Xiancai finished speaking, Yu Shujun stopped talking for a while.

"I……"

Yu Shujun opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just spat out the word softly.

"What?"

Zhao Xiancai thought Yu Shujun said something, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked.

"It's nothing. I said it would be nice if I could go to a better '211'."

"You underestimate yourself too much. I think you still have a good chance of getting into '985'."
