Chapter 629: Competition
"It's okay. There are many, many firsts in life. You can't feel sad just because you missed a certain one. There are still many opportunities in the future." Song Ruyi explained earnestly.
Little Baozi gradually calmed down after hearing Song Ruyi's words, and she said sullenly: "I will definitely not miss it again, and I will seize every opportunity."
Song Ruyi smiled: "Okay, I have to go to dinner, so I won't talk about it, you must play well."
"Yes, I will, Mom." Xiao Baozi nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Baozi couldn't help but throw the phone directly on the bed to express his anger.
Although she also knew that what Song Ruyi said was correct, but she missed something she had been looking forward to for a long time, and she still couldn't get over it after thinking about it.
Just then there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Baozi said angrily, "Please come in".
Lu Fan opened the door and walked in, asking as he walked, "What's wrong with you, it's like eating gunpowder, who made you angry again?"
"My sister!" Xiao Baozi replied angrily.
"Ah?" Lu Fan was a little puzzled after hearing her answer, "Isn't he not born yet, how could he provoke you?"
"When I was at home, I was waiting for her first fetal movement, but there was no movement, but as soon as I left, she moved. Isn't this against me?" Xiao Baozi became more and more angry.
Lu Fan couldn't hold back his laughter, and Xiao Baozi rolled his eyes at him.
"Why are you laughing?" Little Baozi threatened viciously.
However, in Lu Fan's eyes, she looked like a little rabbit showing her teeth when she was provoked. There was no deterrent at all, so she smiled even more happily.
"I guess after your sister is born, I should be able to hear a lot of jokes, but it's not hers, it's yours." Lu Fan joked.
"Go to hell!" Xiao Baozi became furious and pushed him, but because his strength was too weak, it didn't affect him.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Lu Fan adjusted his expression, and began to remember the real purpose of his visit this time, "The teacher said that we need to gather together, and he wants to talk about the precautions for the game the day after tomorrow."
The little bun nodded and followed Lu Fan out.
There were only two of them who came out to participate in the competition this time, but there were three leading teachers, each responsible for different tasks, which showed how much the school attached importance to this competition.
The three teachers repeatedly told the two to report in advance no matter what they did, not to act without authorization, and to find them immediately if they had difficulties.
After Xiao Baozi and Lu Fan agreed one by one, the five of them had a good meal in the restaurant of the hotel.
After eating, Lu Fan told the teacher that he wanted to go for a walk with Xiao Baozi.
The two left alone, and after the teacher couldn't be seen, Xiao Baozi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she said with emotion: "These teachers are watching too closely, it makes me worry."
"Why are you so worried, they are not going to eat you." Lu Fan said.
Xiao Baozi expressed that he was afraid that he might do something wrong and make those teachers furious.
"Don't worry, I will help you bear it when the time comes." Lu Fan promised.
"Hey." The little bun smirked, "Lu Fan, I sure didn't misunderstand you, you are really my good brother."
Lu Fan looked at Xiao Baozi's stupid and cute look, and could only shake his head helplessly.
The two walked slowly around the hotel for a while, and returned to their rooms before dark.
Because they were afraid that the fatigue on the road would affect their performance, they moved forward three days and stayed one day to rest and adjust their state.
On the day of the game, everyone got up early, packed up, and rushed to the game site together.
At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the hall, not only the contestants and teachers who participated in the competition, but also many media organizations. It is said that this international competition is very competitive, so it has attracted a lot of attention.
Xiao Baozi was the youngest contestant, and she stood out from a group of contestants, so everyone turned their attention to her.
But Xiao Baozi didn't care about this, she behaved as usual, the three teachers who led the team were worried that she would be nervous, but now it seems that there should be no major problems, and they feel relieved a lot.
The competition started soon, and the organizer's staff first checked in the players, and then divided them into groups in order.
The competition system this time is one-on-one, the loser will be eliminated directly, and the winner will compete again until the final champion is produced.
Xiao Baozi and Lu Fan naturally had to separate. Before Lu Fan left, he was a little worried about her, but Xiao Baozi said that he was fine.
In the first round, Xiao Baozi met a contestant from England. He was five years older than Xiao Baozi and looked very proud.
After the man saw the little bun, he couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile, feeling that the victory was already in his hands before the game even started.
Xiao Baozi has seen too many people who don't know what to do, she doesn't care what others think, anyway, she will use her strength to silence them in the end.
The method of the competition is that the judges ask questions, and the two contestants rush to answer. There are a total of [-] questions. One point will be added for correct answers and one point will be deducted for wrong answers. The one with the highest score wins.
The first round of the competition officially started, Xiao Baozi didn't even give the opponent a chance to answer the questions, he answered all the questions directly, and won in less than 10 minutes.
The contestant who underestimated her at the beginning was dumbfounded, feeling like it was over before he even did it.
The little bun looked at the man's shocked expression and let out a "hum".
After watching the game, many media presents cast more and more eyes on Xiao Baozi, and everyone guessed how strong Xiao Baozi really is.
Naturally, Lu Fan also advanced smoothly, and the two took advantage of the break to communicate.
"They are all too weak." Xiao Baozi said.
Lu Fan smiled. He naturally knew how powerful Xiao Baozi was, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still told her: "Don't take it lightly, our goal this time is the championship, we can't give it up to others."
"I know, I know." Xiao Baozi waved his hand, she had heard such words countless times, and felt that her ears were covered with calluses.
The remaining rounds of the competition went smoothly as well. The other contestants were not at the same level as Xiao Baozi. She completely defeated her opponents all the way and directly advanced to the finals.
The situation on Lu Fan's side was similar, and he was naturally on the list for the finals.
The teachers who led the team were very excited when they heard the news. This is the first time in the history of the school that two students entered the finals, which is naturally very happy.
A total of three people participated in the finals. Besides the two of them, the other one was from the United States and was the champion of the previous competition.
There was an hour's break before the final. The organizer had prepared a special room for each contestant, but Xiao Baozi and Lu Fan stayed together directly.
The teacher who led the team was afraid that they would be nervous, so he kept saying some words of encouragement.
Xiao Baozi was very calm at first, but he was upset by their quarrel, so he said, "Teacher, don't talk about it, I'm really in a good mood."
When she said this, the three teachers looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Lu Fan hurriedly smoothed things over: "Teacher, you really don't have to worry, the two of us have very good psychological quality, and we won't be nervous at all."
The teacher who led the team smiled sheepishly, and said nothing after that. When the staff came to tell them that they could go on stage and prepare, they could only watch Lu Fan and Xiao Baozi off and could not follow.
After Xiao Baozi and Lu Fan went out, they found that the other American player was already waiting outside the door. After seeing the two of them, the American player greeted them warmly, as if they were not rivals, but friends whom they had not seen for a long time.
Xiao Baozi was a little confused by his reaction, but fortunately Lu Fan reacted quickly and immediately responded to the American contestant.
"What does he mean?" Little Baozi asked softly.
Lu Fan replied, "I don't know either, maybe it's just a natural enthusiasm."
Xiao Baozi was very helpless, she had absolutely nothing to do with such acquaintances, she could only hope that they would not come to have an awkward chat with her.
The final officially began. Three people sat in front of a table, the judges of the competition were under the stage, and there were many spectators watching the competition.
Xiao Baozi took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The staff first introduced the specific rules of the final. There are two finals in total. In the first round, everyone has the opportunity to answer questions. One point is awarded for a correct answer, two points are deducted for a wrong answer, and the person with the least points is eliminated.
The second game is the championship and runner-up competition. The person who answers the most questions correctly within the specified time wins.
In the first round, Xiao Baozi and Lu Fan answered all the questions correctly, but the American player got one wrong and was eliminated directly, only the third place.
Before the start of the second round, there was a 10-minute break, Xiao Baozi and Lu Fan sat in the background and waited.
At this moment, Xiao Baozi said, "I won't let the water go in the next game."
"How do you know that I will lose to you?" Lu Fan smiled.
Xiao Baozi raised her head confidently, and she said, "The word 'lose' doesn't exist in my dictionary."
Lu Fan rubbed her hair and smiled even more happily: "Then we all have to work hard."
In the second round, each of them had 10 minutes to answer questions. Lu Fan started the challenge first. He answered a total of 45 questions, breaking the record for the most in the history of this competition.
The audience below were amazed and felt that Lu Fan was very powerful.
Xiao Baozi was not affected at all, she stepped onto the stage to accept the challenge with confidence.
In the process of answering the questions, he was calm and extremely fast, almost directly speaking the answer in less than a second after the staff finished speaking the question, and the answer was [-]% correct.
The audience feels as if they are watching a fast-paced thriller movie, and they dare not have any moments of relaxation.
