Meeting at the invigilator’s gaze, Mo Zhu looked up and replied coldly, “Sure. As long as your country’s team uses the same set of questions as us, I agree to participate in the additional round on behalf of the members of my team.”
After the two teams agreed to the rematch, the staff at the venue prepared very quickly. It did not take long for them to seal the backup questions in front of all the audience.
After bringing the two groups of students to the designated table, an inspector took two steps forward and placed a small timer on the table. Then, he began to distribute the questions in an orderly manner.
As the competition this time was carried out in a hurry, the invigilator gave the two groups five minutes to discuss before they began answering the questions. To put it bluntly, these five minutes were for the students to split their questions. The papers had already been handed out to the students, so everyone had to analyze the difficulty of the questions and choose the ones that matched their ability.
As she watched Group Aisha in front of her start to analyze and integrate the contents of each test question, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and casually picked up the test questions that the staff had given to their group just now. She roughly glanced at the papers and sneered. She placed the five test papers in front of Meng Ran, Zhang Qi, and the others in order.
“Sister Mo? This is…” Seeing Mo Zhu’s actions, Meng Ran frowned in confusion.
When Mo Zhu heard this, she put the test questions that belonged to her in front of her. She instructed the few of them in a low voice, “I’ve already roughly analyzed the difficulty of the test questions just now. I have given you the questions that are most compatible with your abilities. I’ve taken a simple look at the questions on the paper and the difficulty is slightly lower than the previous one. I’ll set a time for everyone. I’ll hand in the papers on time in half an hour, so you must not exceed half an hour when you answer the questions. It’s easier to score if you choose the questions you know how to complete first. You just have to list a few formulas for the rest!”
After saying this, Mo Zhu paused for a moment. Then, she looked up at Jiang Yu and Xing Meng, who had been standing at the side silently since just now. She added lightly, “Although I’ve taken the most difficult portion, the two portions that are slightly difficult have been given to the two of you. Everyone, do your best!”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, they naturally understood the importance of this round. If they could achieve good results, not only would this be an opportunity for them to bring glory to Country Z, but it would also ruthlessly suppress the arrogance of Country H’s judges.
After everyone nodded solemnly in agreement, five minutes had also passed. Seeing that they had completed their distribution of the test questions too, the members of Group Aisha who were seated at the opposite table also had very cautious expressions.
Another bell rang. The invigilator raised the microphone and announced the start of the round for the two teams.
Under such circumstances, everyone in the venue was careful not to make a sound, afraid of disturbing the competition between the two top teams.
The sound of the pen scratching the draft papers rang clearly in the middle of the venue. Seeing this scene, Luo Nan and Li Xiao stood rooted to the ground nervously, their palms sweating uncontrollably.
Time passed second by second. In order to stabilize the members of the group and prevent everyone from being distracted when answering the questions, even though Mo Zhu only took ten minutes to complete the questions, she still slowed down seriously and recalculated the answers to each question.
She had only taken a few glances at the questions on the other people’s papers just now. However, with her understanding of Mathematics and her cooperation with the various members of the group over the past few days, and after looking at the marks and bonus points for the questions with different difficulties set by the organizing committee together with the paper that she had done, Mo Zhu had analyzed that they would definitely be able to shake off Group Aisha.
