Chapter 228 The brother and sister still managed to scrape together 1 yuan
Just then, a system notification sounded in my mind: "Ding! The main quest has been issued. Please obtain the national gold medal in the Mathematical Olympiad. Completing the quest will reward you with 1000 game points and one chance to draw a prize!"
Upon hearing this long-awaited main quest, Yuan Bao was momentarily distracted by his elder brother Bao Guo's laughter.
Bao Guo laughed smugly, "Hehehe!" Then he shouted, "My school notified me that I'm participating in the city's Mathematical Olympiad selection competition. Pretty impressive, huh!"
His shout startled the family. Grandpa's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the teacup he was holding, exclaiming, "What the hell? Say it again!"
Grandma was so startled that she jumped up from the sofa, almost dropping the remote control in her hand. "What's going on? You two siblings got together?"
Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened like saucers. He jumped up excitedly and rushed towards Bao Guo like a cannonball, hugging him tightly and shouting, "Big brother, this is too awesome! If we compete together, we'll turn the competition upside down!"
Bao Guo stumbled from being hugged, but he grinned foolishly. As he got up and patted Yuan Bao, he grinned again: "Haha, that's for sure. With your brother here and you, the little rascal, it would be a shame if we didn't win the Grand Slam in this competition!"
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan exchanged a glance, their faces filled with helplessness yet also with relief.
Mr. Yuan put on a stern face and said in a deliberately serious tone, "Baoguo, Yuanbao, this is a serious competition, don't mess around here. You both need to prepare seriously, do you hear me?"
But Bao Guo wouldn't listen. He nodded and gestured excitedly, "Dad, you can rest assured! With me and Yuan Bao as our team, we're the 'Invincible Duo' of the math world. We'll crush our opponents in this competition, they'll be crying for their parents!"
Yuan's mother was both amused and exasperated. She walked over and gently patted Baoguo's head: "You, you're always talking nonsense. Why don't you hurry up and discuss with Yuan Bao how to prepare for the competition?"
In the days that followed, the house became incredibly lively.
Taking advantage of the system, Yuan Bao compiled a lot of math competition tutoring materials, piling them all over his study desk, making it look like a small library.
Although their brains are now like scanners, they still can't help but "scan" all the information they haven't seen into their brains.
At this moment, in the study, the two siblings are having a heated debate about the problems that have "swept" into their minds.
They called it mutual help and working together, but the sly glint in their eyes clearly revealed their ulterior motives—they were all secretly plotting to find a super difficult problem to stump each other.
This is also a unique and efficient training method. When they encounter conflicting opinions, the two start a "battle" mode, neither willing to give in.
Sure enough, Baoguo ran up with another document, shouting, "Yuan Bao, come quick, come quick! Look what kind of unparalleled secret manual I've discovered!"
Yuan Bao rolled his eyes and complained, "Big brother, can you be normal for once? Stop making such a fuss."
But Bao Guo wouldn't listen at all. He was still gesturing wildly as he explained the difficult problems in the materials. When he got excited, he almost threw the materials onto the ceiling.
Bao Guo jumped onto the sofa and, like a speaker, loudly argued: "Let me tell you, Yuan Bao, this is the way to solve this problem. My method is absolutely correct!"
Yuan Bao, not to be outdone, stood on the coffee table, hands on his hips: "Big brother, your line of thinking is completely wrong. Look, it should be like this..."
The two argued back and forth, their faces flushed and spittle flying, turning the house upside down.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan came up and shook their heads as they watched, but they couldn't do anything about these two rascals.
Soon the day of the city-level mathematics competition arrived, and the sunlight filled the entire examination room.
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo entered the examination room with full confidence. They looked at each other, their eyes conveying encouragement and fighting spirit.
In the examination room, while other candidates were either frowning or writing furiously, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo appeared remarkably calm.
Their pens danced across the paper, and the problems that troubled others were nothing more than a piece of cake in their eyes.
Yuan Bao is quick-witted; when faced with a geometric problem, he can instantly construct a clear diagram in his mind and solve the problem in one go. Bao Guo, on the other hand, is adept at algebraic operations thanks to his strong logical reasoning ability; he can easily break down complex formulas.
When the exam ended, the two put down their pens, both with confident smiles on their faces.
As they walked out of the examination room, other candidates surrounded them, asking how they had answered the questions. The two simply smiled and waved, without saying much.
On the day the results were announced, the school where the siblings attended was in an uproar. Yuan Bao and Bao Guo both won the top two places in the city-level competition with perfect scores, and successfully advanced to the provincial competition.
The school teachers praised them highly, and the students looked on with envy. However, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo did not become arrogant or complacent. They knew that even greater challenges lay ahead.
The competition in the provincial competition is becoming increasingly fierce, with elite students from all over the province gathering together.
But Yuan Bao and Bao Guo were not afraid at all. They used the time before the competition to study even harder and strengthen their weak points.
On the day of the competition, the atmosphere in the examination room was so tense it was suffocating, but Yuan Bao and Bao Guo were like seasoned warriors, calmly responding to the situation.
As soon as the test papers were handed out, the two quickly glanced through them and then began to answer the questions methodically.
While solving a challenging comprehensive function problem, Yuan Bao suddenly stopped writing. She frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of thought.
Baoguo noticed his sister's unusual behavior and quietly gave her an encouraging look.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath, reorganized his thoughts, and quickly found a breakthrough, successfully solving the problem.
After the exam, the two talked about how it went and were both satisfied with their performance.
When the results were announced, as expected, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo once again stood out with perfect scores, easily securing their spots on the provincial team.
When the news came that Yuan Bao and Bao Guo had both won provincial team spots with perfect scores, both schools were instantly filled with surprise and pride, and each school presented a scene of jubilation.
At Yuan Bao's school, the good news broadcast over the campus radio was like a bombshell, instantly igniting every corner of the campus.
"Breaking news! Our student Yuan Bao has demonstrated extraordinary strength in the provincial mathematics competition, achieving a perfect score and successfully being selected for the provincial team! Let us extend our warmest congratulations to her!" The voice was enthusiastic and powerful, echoing in the corridors of the teaching building, attracting the attention of the students.
In the classroom, the teacher, who was giving a lesson, put down the chalk and announced to the students with a big smile: "Classmates, Yuan Bao has brought honor to our school! She achieved a perfect score in the provincial mathematics competition and successfully entered the provincial team!"
