Chapter 97 Sticking Together

Seeing her name become Top 2, only after Shi Yi, Wu Wenxin was quite excited.

"We're sticking together!" Sitting on the long chair, looking at Shi Yi beside her, she said happily.

"Calm down, calm down a bit." But Wu Wenxin's sudden excitement made Shi Yi's heart tighten, and he quickly reminded, "Take a deep breath."

"Oh... okay." Wu Wenxin stroked her chest, letting herself gradually calm down.

Then, looking at the Sudoku puzzle that she had only half-finished, she said with some emotion, "You're still so amazing, you finished it in three minutes, that's too exaggerated."

There were a total of fifty empty numbers, which meant he filled in a number in about three seconds.

Moreover, Shi Yi basically didn't do any calculations on the side, he just looked for a few seconds and then filled in a number, as if he was a ruthless filling machine.

"I haven't played for a long time, my hands are a little rusty. The speed is still a bit slow."

Although he had already been praised quite a bit, Shi Yi didn't know why, but in front of Wu Wenxin, he didn't want to be humble.

"You're already amazing, this is the top in the Four Schools." Wu Wenxin was a little embarrassed when she praised him, and muttered, "Logically speaking, it should take me about seven minutes to finish..."

But she really wanted to play with Shi Yi, so after Shi Yi finished, she asked for Shi Yi's draft paper, and then quickly filled in the numbers.

But if she went up, wouldn't that be wasting a spot from Fourth High?

In the end, would it affect the school's points because of her?

After all, to others, she was a complete academic渣 (xuezha - academic scum).

However, Shi Yi saw her worry, so he smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, I'll score points for the school. You just have fun."

"..." Looking at Shi Yi, Wu Wenxin's cheeks flushed slightly, "You're so handsome like this."

Why was this boy so charming?

Was this the power of cheese!

"...Ah." Shi Yi was a little embarrassed to be said that, and touched his neck.

"I think, with your strength, you will definitely be able to get first place."

Wu Wenxin thought of what happened yesterday, and said with some longing, "Like Chen Yuan, let everyone know you."

"He was too dazzling... But, I will do my best." Since Wenxin *meimei* (little sister) said so, Shi Yi had a reason to work hard.

Unlike Chen Yuan, he was only good at a few things, only learning.

So, if he couldn't overwhelm others in terms of learning, then his confidence would be slightly shaken.

After all, he had been praised a little too much by his friends.

Sure enough, praise-killing is indeed the most ruthless destruction.

Shi Yi even had a strange feeling that if he wasn't 'first', it would be a little embarrassing...

Just then, another person popped up on the public screen.

Hengzhong's Zhang Tianheng finished the Sudoku puzzle in 3rd place, with a time of 3 minutes and 16 seconds.

"This is also very fast, within three and a half minutes," Wu Wenxin said.

"Almost, it's about time for them to pass through like a fountain." Shi Yi wasn't surprised, because Sudoku puzzles of this difficulty, those who do them quickly are about this speed.

Sure enough, in the next five seconds, three or four more popped up one after another.

Although the average time displayed was 21 minutes, that was the average time for all users playing this mini-program.

As students, especially students from famous schools, even if they don't usually play Sudoku, they will be much faster than the average time.

And those who have played it will be much faster than ordinary students.

Of course, even for himself, this Sudoku puzzle couldn't be considered very, very fast.

In the Guinness World Records, the fastest time to complete a nine-square Sudoku puzzle is 1 minute and 23 seconds.

He was only half of that.

But people have professional training in this area, which is different from Shi Yi, who only treats it as a hobby.

These four schools are indeed very strong, but not many people will specifically train in Sudoku.

So within four minutes, that is considered very fast.

Hengzhong's Zhu Yimo finished the Sudoku puzzle in 9th place, with a time of 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

The difference between 2nd and 9th isn't that much.

So according to this situation, if you don't pass within five minutes, you may not be able to pass the selection.

If there are more people like him who 'cheat', then the time will be even tighter.

So far, it's all from the top three schools.

It seems that Eleventh High hasn't sent anyone yet.

Could this tenth one be Chen Yuan?

Just as he was thinking this, the public screen popped up again.

Fourth High's Zhang Jianjun finished the Sudoku puzzle in 10th place, with a time of 3 minutes and 31 seconds.

Seeing this name, the two of them froze at the same time.

Then, they looked at each other in astonishment...

I'll go, Jianjun!

"I'm old, my reaction is really a bit slow."

In the tea room of the research base, Zhang Jianjun put down the pen in his hand, then took a sip of tea, and said quite calmly.

Then, the faces of the remaining principals suddenly sank.

This guy Zhang Jianjun's bragging is really smooth.

But I have to say, this guy is really strong!

Such an old person actually fought so hard with the top students of the four schools in this little game.

It seems that Fourth High not only makes the students compete, but also makes the school's faculty and staff compete a bit fiercely...

"Amazing, it's very rare for school leaders to get within four minutes. And at this speed, Principal Zhang, you are the first." And the leader of the base couldn't help but praise.

These words really made the remaining principals lose face.

"Principal Zhang, do you often play Sudoku?"

Seeing more and more people passing, Principal Chang Jun simply gave up and didn't continue, then smiled and talked to Zhang Jianjun.

"It's okay, I used to like playing it."

Zhang Jianjun still had that indifferent attitude, and replied, "The last time I played Sudoku was probably twenty years ago."

"..." Chang Jun's principal was immediately stunned.

Silence.

You just want to say you're awesome!

Although a little unwilling, He Hongtao knew Zhang Jianjun's strength.

In the education circle of Xia Hai, many people know a little-known fact, that is—Zhang Jianjun was once a man with the title of prodigy.

He seemed to be the探花 (tanhua - third place) in the city's college entrance examination at that time.

This kind of education is considered very top-notch among principals.

When he was a teacher, Zhang Jianjun also became a special-grade teacher of Hai Dong Famous Teachers at a very young age.

You can say Jianjun is bad, but you can't say Jianjun is weak.

Otherwise, He Hongtao wouldn't have listed him as his strongest opponent, his nemesis.

Frowning, He Hongtao also nervously solved the Sudoku puzzle.

The essence of men is that they don't want to admit defeat.

It's okay to lose to Jianjun, he's too strong.

But he wants to win over the remaining two principals!

He Hongtao, speeding up to solve the problem.

And the thin and refined Principal Chang Jun suddenly discovered that even if he gave up, the remaining principals were still writing.

Yes, although it is difficult to fight with five thousand students to become the top one hundred.

But the key point is that there is also horizontal comparison!

Being at the bottom among these four principals is the most embarrassing thing.

Although his school's current score is first, and far ahead, but as the principal, directly losing to the remaining three principals, then his school's ranking first will seem particularly ironic.

It's like saying, Chang Jun is indeed strong.

Tying a dog can win over the remaining three schools.

Damn it!

It's been a long time since I did problems.

I'm going to explode with you!

Headache, quite a headache.

Watching the time pass by bit by bit, and the ranking drop bit by bit, Chen Yuan was ignited with some fighting spirit.

His mathematics is already pretty good, and Sudoku has a certain relationship with mathematics.

But the relationship is not that big.

The most important thing is whether you are a Sudoku enthusiast.

The last time Chen Yuan wrote Sudoku was in the first year of junior high school.

So in terms of speed, he didn't perform so well.

However, logical thinking can make up for a little bit of the speed defect.

Looking at some places a few more times, the structure in his mind can be built.

And the more you write this thing, the more enlightening it becomes.

Finally, after filling in a certain column, the related rows became very clear, like peeling silk from a cocoon.

In this way, exerting his strong concentration, Chen Yuan finally finished the Sudoku puzzle.

Then, he quickly moved these numbers to his phone.

At the moment when he filled in the last number, because it was accurate, the system directly submitted it.

Eleventh High's Chen Yuan finished the Sudoku puzzle in 77th place, with a time of 4 minutes and 24 seconds.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan, inspired by Shi Yi, exerted himself crazily in the second half of the process, and finally completed the Sudoku puzzle at a fairly fast speed.

In this case, it is estimated that the top 100 will end in about five minutes.

Then, Chen Yuan looked at Xia Xinyu.

At this moment, she was also playing a fighting game with Sudoku.

The writing speed was still okay, and the completion rate was about seventy percent.

As long as it is completed to eighty percent, the rest is easy.

But no matter how you look at this speed, it won't be able to enter the top 100.

So Chen Yuan said, "Why don't you use my draft paper?"

"Wait, I'll see if I really can't do it."

Xia Xinyu continued to fight without raising her head.

"Then I'll type out what you've written first on the phone, so that you won't waste too much time copying it over." Chen Yuan suggested.

"Okay." Xia Xinyu nodded.

In this way, Chen Yuan helped Xia Xinyu type the numbers on the phone.

This way, you can save at least twenty seconds.

After all, it still takes a long time to type 50 numbers.

Looking at it this way, Shi Yi's speed can still be improved a bit.

After all, Sudoku competitions are held directly on paper.

That is to say, Shi Yi's speed is actually about 2 minutes and 40 seconds?

Damn, are you human?!

Now that I think about it, Shi Yi *ge* (older brother) approached Wu Wenxin, maybe it was really because of Sudoku that he ran to her house to play.

Wu Wenxin became the King's woman, Sudoku has three-ninths of the credit!

But I don't have the mood to think about this now.

Yu Zi, hurry up and cheer!

In this way, Chen Yuan waited anxiously by the side and helped her enter the numbers.

When there were only 15 left, Yu Zi had already written to ninety percent.

There were only 5 numbers left.

That is to say, the remaining numbers can basically be seen at a glance.

So, Yu Zi glanced at the numbers, and directly wrote them down, one per second.

One second, and another one.

Chen Yuan was synchronously typing the numbers on the phone.

Finally, when Yu Zi wrote the last number, Chen Yuan also entered the last number.

But, it wasn't uploaded.

Two of them turned red!

"I made a mistake, switch these two!" Xia Xinyu said quickly.

So, Chen Yuan hurriedly operated.

Switch!

And after the switch, the system directly submitted it for Xia Xinyu.

Fourth High's Xia Xinyu finished the Sudoku puzzle in 92nd place, with a time of 4 minutes and 47 seconds.

Seeing the announcement on the world channel, the two of them excitedly gave each other a high five.

"I feel like I cheated a bit, after all, if you didn't help me fill it in, my speed might be reduced by almost 20 seconds," Xia Xinyu said regretfully.

"There are many cheaters, and at least this was made by yourself." In this regard, Chen Yuan comforted, "Four minutes is also very amazing."

"Baby, you also did it in four minutes, you're also very amazing."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Yuan made a husky pointing gesture, "You know best, a mere four minutes, will your hands ache?"

"..." Xia Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks instantly turned red.

Biting her lips, looking at this man who wants to be strong all his life, Xia Xinyu shook her head and complained, "The extent of your lewdness should also be in the top 100 in the research base."

At this moment, Xia Xinyu missed Chen Yuan, whom she met on the first day.

At that time, that child was so cute...

Now, the things in his mind feel like they can't pass censorship.

"If I hadn't played Sudoku that much, I definitely wouldn't have ranked in the seventies."

Thinking that as the Earth *qiuzhang* (ball chief - slang for boyfriend), his ranking was so bad, Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed. Then, he was also a little serious: "I will win the formal competition."

"I also think you will win."

Xia Xinyu supported her face, looked at Chen Yuan, and said with pride, "My baby is number one in everything he does."

Lewd, huh?

While the two were waiting, the ranking continued to update.

Fourth High's Ke Jiayuan finished the Sudoku puzzle in 97th place, with a time of 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

"Yo, Fourth High's Yuan Shen has also passed, that's something."

"Then, there are only three left."

Next, another two passed.

The time was still within five minutes.

It seems that the last one will not exceed five minutes.

Eleventh High's He Hongtao finished the Sudoku puzzle in 100th place, with a time of 4 minutes and 54 seconds.

"..."

And seeing this name, Xin Yuan synchronously made the Wu-Yi combination expression: "Huh?"

………

Nice!

At the moment of filling in the number, He Hongtao really had a feeling of escaping death.

This thing is not very difficult, and the more you write it, the faster you get.

But it's a little unfriendly to the elderly, because it's a bit difficult to type in the numbers.

And because it is a purely competitive nature, when typing on the software, there are no error reminders or repeated word count reminders.

Therefore, it is particularly harmful to the eyes.

But fortunately, he also completed the Sudoku puzzle within the top 100.

Huh?

What about you?

"..." The principals of Chang Jun and Hengzhong were a little sweaty.

This time, the competition changed from who can enter the top 100 to who will not be the last.

If the principal of Hengzhong is last, then he and his school will become the last one together.

You're trash, just like your school.

If the principal of Chang Jun is last, then your team is really strong, and even you can lead them to win.

The Celtics are really strong, and Rivers, this head of a pig, can lead them to win too?

As expected of EDG, letting a delivery guy mix into the title of champion coach!

And Zhang Jianjun, who was standing on the shore, became a fun-filled audience with He Hongtao.

But what made Zhang Jianjun a little unhappy was.

He Hongtao, what is your status, dare to watch the fun with me?

The leader of the research base was filled with pleasure at this scene.

In the previous research studies of other schools, in this link, he would also let the principals in this tea room, and then deliberately mention: Why don't everyone play this game?

At this time, most people will agree.

After all, whoever refuses is a coward.

And as this game is played, there will be a situation where one person completes it first, and the remaining people get anxious.

Zhang Jianjun's speed made others a little anxious.

Especially He Hongtao, who didn't know why, and especially liked to compare with Zhang Jianjun.

But fortunately, his strength is online, and he is considered quite a strong one among all the leaders.

In this way, he smiled and observed the principals of Chang Jun and Hengzhong.

The appearance of the two chasing each other and writing hard is really wonderful.

Subarashi, subarashi.

Finally.

At 7 minutes and 28 seconds, the principal of Hengzhong finished writing.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I haven't played this game much, it's unexpectedly difficult, haha." The principal of Hengzhong made an awkward smile.

"Indeed, it's like this if you haven't played it before, this speed is okay. The average speed of this mini-program is 21 minutes, which is the general level of all users, and 7 minutes is also very strong." said the leader of the research base.

That's what he said.

But these people are the leaders of famous schools.

How could they regard themselves as ordinary?

The principal of Chang Jun held the pen in his hand, and the strength became greater and greater.

He felt that there were four pairs of eyes staring at him.

As the captain of such a galactic warship as Chang Jun, he is the most trash among all the principals...

The more he looked, the more anxious he became.

The more anxious he became, the more chaotic he became.

The more chaotic he became, the slower he became.

The speed of his heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

The temperature of his cheeks was getting higher and higher.

9 minutes and 28 seconds.

Finally, the principal of Chang Jun completed his competition.

"It's the first time I've played this thing, it's quite interesting..." In order to save face for himself, he took the initiative to say.

And this excuse, the principal of Hengzhong, has already used it.

Therefore, it cannot save any face!

In fact, no one even opened his mouth to take his words.

After all, yesterday, the students of Chang Jun beat them quite badly, and everyone's mood was still a bit depressed.

Now, it's comfortable to beat your principal.

"Yes, you'll get used to it if you play it a few more times," the research leader said with a smile.

Then he stopped talking.

Damn it, why are you all competing so hard?

You see each other when you look up and down, what do you want to do?

Do you have to make it so awkward?

Huh?!

"Then next, please ask Principal He and Principal Zhang to participate in the competition."

Slowly, the short and fat leader of the research base stood up.

Hearing this, the two principals were stunned at the same time.

They were all dumbfounded.

"???"

No, we are principals.

Do principals have to compete!

The base leader was filled with pleasure at their reaction.

That's right, it's good to win other principals.

But can you still be happy if you lose to your students in front of everyone?

Huh!?
