Chapter 397 Clown
Obviously, the audience could not accept the fact that Shan Yue had scored full marks. Even someone as strong as Lin Xiao or Ruo Ting did not dare to say that they could solve a four-star difficulty question. Shan Yue, who had never been thought highly of, had actually solved it.
However, there was nothing they could do now. They could only wait for Ruo Ting to check Shan Yue’s paper and find some clues. Otherwise, Capital University would win again.
Now, all hope was placed on Ruo Ting. She looked at Shan Yue’s paper. The answers to the first three questions were really the same as what she had written. Even the last question that she had not answered was the same as the correct answer.
After seeing it with her own eyes, she finally believed that Shan Yue had indeed won this competition.
At the same time, Ruo Ting could not help but exclaim in her heart at Shan Yue’s strength. It turned out that she had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. She could even come up with the final answer without needing to do any calculations.
In fact, it was not that Ruo Ting was too weak. Her mathematics strength had long surpassed her peers. It was just that Shan Yue, her opponent, was too strong.
It seemed that Shan Yue had been standing, giving others the illusion that she could not even understand the questions. In fact, while Shan Yue was weighing the pros and cons, she had already seen these questions.
With Shan Yue’s ability, who had once been paid more than a million yuan to solve a question, how could this mere competition, the so-called four-star final question, stump her?
Shan Yue did not even need to use the calculations on the draft paper. After understanding the question type, she simply sorted out the rough process of doing the questions. She only needed to rely on mental calculations to obtain the final correct answer.
Perhaps this was the difference between the truly strong and the weak. All the changes on the field were in Shan Yue’s plan, but the students as spectators could only see the appearance she displayed.
After understanding everything, Ruo Ting asked herself again and again. Could a year of hard work still not catch up to someone else’s talent? Then what was the meaning of her perseverance?
She put down Shan Yue’s paper and became very depressed. She slowly lowered her head. “Professor, I’ve finished checking. I’ve indeed lost. I have nothing to say about my skills being inferior.”
Instantly, everyone was shocked. This was the first time they had heard the insufferably arrogant Ruo Ting say such words personally. It meant that she admired Shan Yue from the bottom of her heart.
Only now did the others understand that Shan Yue’s strength was far from what she appeared to be. Her short-sighted self was the clown. At this point, Shan Yue’s reputation was completely known in all the universities in the country.
The teacher sitting on the stage was clearly unwilling to see this scene. If Shan Yue won, it would prove that all her previous words were wrong.
There were already whispers around her. Needless to say, they were all discussing her. Even though Capital University had won, she wanted to find a hole to hide in rather than sit here embarrassingly.
The lights on the stage suddenly went out, and the surroundings darkened. All the light surrounded the center of the stage. Shan Yue and Ruo Ting stood side by side on the stage.
The professor took the microphone from the host’s hand and said in a low and solemn voice, “After everyone’s hard work in the morning, the National High School Competition is finally coming to an end. No matter what results the school everyone represents, I believe every one of you will be the pride of the school. Don’t be disappointed. Regroup. There’s still a chance next year.”
Then, the professor slowly walked to Shan Yue’s side. “Next, I announce that the winner of this National High School Competition is…”
“Capital University!”
In an instant, warm applause came from all directions. Even the students of Ruoshui University sent their most sincere congratulations. This constant applause not only contained congratulations to the Capital University, but also many people’s apologies to Shan Yue.
Zhang Huang, who was about to give up, was about to get up and turn off the television when he heard the ending speech and the final champion.
His agitated hands no longer listened to him. He dropped the remote control on the sofa. “Lin Xiao, come over quickly. Did you hear that just now? The final champion is the Capital University. Does this mean…”
“That’s right, Principal.”
