Chapter 391 - 391 Dilemma
391 Dilemma
At this moment, Shan Xing and Gao Hua were not idle. They had spread the news that Shan Yue was a student from the chemistry department of the Capital University. Now that she had come to participate in the finals of the mathematics team, she had clearly given up on the competition for the championship.
The news spread like wildfire. Soon, it spread among the different schools. Moreover, after word of mouth, it became more and more ridiculous.
No one present was optimistic about Shan Yue. Whether it was Gao Hua and Shan Xing, Shan Yue’s opponent, Ruo Ting, or even the teacher-in-charge and the students who came to the competition, they had long lost all hope for Shan Yue.
However, there would always be an opposite side to everything. Since there were people who did not believe Shan Yue, there would definitely be people who believed her. For example, Zhang Huang and Lin Xiao, who had faith in her from the beginning to the end, and Zhou Xuan, who was silently paying attention to the progress of the competition in the ward.
After Shan Yue and Ruo Ting stood in front of the stage and were ready, the sound of the competition opening could be heard.
“There’s no time to lose. I’ve made everyone wait for a long time. The last match to decide the outcome will begin now!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the four questions for this competition appeared on the screen in front of both sides. Each question had 25 points and a perfect score of 100 points. The winner would have the highest score.
The moment the test questions were announced, everyone below the stage stopped their noise and discussion and began to look at the four questions carefully. This was one of the few opportunities to see the national test questions. No one wanted to miss it.
Especially the math students, they could not help but think that if they were standing on the stage on behalf of the school now, they could answer a few questions correctly with their current strength.
On the stage, Ruo Ting vividly portrayed the sentence of every minute counts. The moment she saw the question, she immediately picked up the pen on the table. The tip of the pen danced with her fingers, and the draft paper was quickly filled with traces of calculation.
On the other hand, Shan Yue had no intention of writing at all. She did not even pick it up. She just looked at the question in front of her silently, as if she had entered a trance and was not disturbed by the outside world at all.
She began to hesitate, not knowing what to choose next. In an instant, she fell into a dilemma.
According to Zhang Huang’s original plan, there would definitely be four-star difficulty questions in the Mathematics Team. Shan Yue, who was known as a “math genius”, could naturally tell the difficulty of these four questions at a glance. The first three questions were three stars, and the last question was four stars.
She was just a student studying chemistry. If she could solve the first three questions, it would be shocking news to everyone. After that, she could barely find a reason to muddle through.
However, if Ruo Ting also solved the first three questions, the two sides would reach a draw. This way, Capital University would still fall behind by one point. In the end, the champion would still be Ruoshui University.
But if she solved all four questions, it would obviously be illogical.
A student who was not a mathematics major could actually solve the final four-star question. Anyone would be suspicious of this matter. No one would believe that she knew nothing about mathematics, and her actions would directly reveal her identity.
Only now did Shan Yue completely understand why Zhang Huang and Lin Xiao had spent so much effort. It was to prove that she was the “math genius” online during the summer vacation.
However, if she gave up on this finals, Lin Xiao would definitely be affected. Not only that, but the Capital University would also lose all its reputation.
As for Gao Hua, Shan Xing, and even the teacher, they would only become even more arrogant.
Everyone would think that Capital University really had no successor and send a chemistry student to deal with the competition.
For a moment, Shan Yue could not find a way to win the competition and hide her identity.
Shan Yue thought about it. Actually, the title of a math genius was not something that had to be hidden. Just as her heart began to waver, another bad thing appeared in her mind.
If she admitted that she was the “math genius” just like that, Zhou Xuan would immediately know that the world’s number one hacker, “Zero”, was the same person. After all, she had fought Zhou Xuan before and had even seen his green jade ring on the camera.
