Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

The 50-plus days of intensive training seems like a long time, but in fact Lin Jinqi found that the days are really fleeting, and soon it will be the fifth simulation test, which is the final simulation test.According to the instructions before the start of the training camp, the score of the fifth mock test accounts for [-]% of the final score, which means that if you fail this test, you will definitely be out.Therefore, even Lin Jinqi did not underestimate this exam, and rarely handed in the papers in advance.

In the training team, Lin Jinqi's early submission of papers has almost become a sight. After all, it is very difficult to complete all the questions in such a mock exam, let alone finish the papers in advance.At first everyone thought that Lin Jinqi was giving up on himself, but after Lin Jinqi's report card was seen by his roommate, the entire training team had nothing to say about Lin Jinqi's early submission of papers.In the first four mock tests, except for the third mock test where she didn't get a full score, Lin Jinqi got a total of three full marks.Although the training team does not announce everyone's results, Lin Jinqi, who is No.1 every time, still makes everyone feel great pressure.Even Kang Ting, who claimed to be here to experience life in the training team, became very serious, and once she became serious, Kang Ting actually made it to the top six several times in the training team with a majority of boys.

Before the exam, many people estimate the total score of their four mock tests.According to their estimation, if they are in the top ten, then there is a relatively high chance of being able to make a comeback by taking advantage of the fifth simulation test; but if they are in No.11 to No.15, it can only be said that it will take one A little blessing of unknowable luck.As for No. 16, it is basically to accompany the prince to study.

Like the first four mock tests, the fifth mock test is also divided into two days, and the exam lasts for 4.5 hours every day.The amount of questions in the two days is six questions, each question is worth 7 points, and the total score is 42 points.In Lin Jinqi's own opinion, the difficulty of the fifth mock test is basically the same as that of the fourth mock test, except that the fifth mock test involves more knowledge points.But the basic question types have already been explained in the training camp. As long as he has a thorough understanding of the teachers' teaching plans, Lin Jinqi estimates that it will be no problem to get about 30 points.But this is Lin Jinqi's estimate, other people don't feel like Lin Jinqi.

When the closing bell rang, Lin Jinqi put the test paper on the left side and the draft paper set on the right side according to the invigilator's request.Since this is the last mock test, if you fail the test, you will fail the test completely, so Lin Jinqi still saw many people secretly wiping tears outside the test room.

To be honest, on such an occasion, how many people did not hold the dream of representing China in the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) finals?It's just that the dream was destroyed so cruelly, it was too cruel for this group of older children whose average age was only sixteen or seventeen years old.However, such cruelty is just the beginning, I hope everyone learns to face it calmly.Lin Jinqi could only say this silently in his heart.

"You should have entered the national team, right?" Kang Ting saw Lin Jinqi leaning against the classroom wall in a daze after the exam.

Lin Jinqi didn't hide his grades from Kang Ting, because he knew that Kang Ting didn't mind his grades.

"If I knew you were so good at the exam, I should have worked harder. But this time, it seems that I should have no hope. Wang Jiao also said that she can only stop here."

"Actually, if you really like mathematics, this time is just the beginning of another mathematics journey." Lin Jinqi replied with a smile, "After more than a month of training, I feel that I can't stand it all."

Lin Jinqi felt that this was the first time in his past and present life that he had been bombarded with the knowledge of a single subject for such a long time.I also need to have a system to help adjust my physiology and psychology, so although Lin Jinqi feels a little tired, he can still persevere.

"You must not fall down, you must know that the country has spent a lot of energy on you." Kang Ting laughed.

"No, please don't give me such a big burden." Lin Jinqi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "This is an international competition among high school students who love mathematics. It really can't rise to the height of the country. Besides, even IMO itself said that this is not a country-to-country game, and they don’t even count the country’s points. If the media weren’t bored, the so-called country points and country rankings would not have appeared. Besides, the players who are selected The qualifications haven't been announced yet, who knows if I'm there?"

"As long as the Huaxia Mathematics Association's brains are not caught by the door, they will not give up talents like you." Kang Ting is very confident in Lin Jinqi, "As long as you are a real talent, only the country wants you to stay, absolutely no. The idea of ​​pushing it out. Otherwise, if one country loses one talent, it means another country gains one talent, and one entry and one exit equals two losses. Look, it’s not a good deal no matter how you calculate it. Me and Wang Jiao estimates that after this exam, he will go to Eastern Guangdong Province. If you have time during summer vacation, you are welcome to visit us in Eastern Guangdong Province. By the way, remember to bring your Long Yuan.”

For all the team members who participated in the training camp, no matter how well they did in the exam, everything has passed.So some small groups that had a good time chose to have dinner together. This is not the era when high-speed rail and high-speed rails were extremely developed. This separation is not to say that it is a farewell, but at least it is not so easy to meet again.

The friendship of young people comes and goes quickly. Maybe today they are still crying about being separated, and tomorrow they will no longer remember the appearance of their friends when they look back.However, that friendship always seems to exist in the depths of the memory, which arouses the urge to recall at a certain moment.

The next day, compared to the sad or regretful atmosphere that everyone just finished the exam the day before, today's atmosphere is obviously much better.Sure enough, for academic masters, CMO is nothing more than a life experience.Everyone sat in their seats, waiting for the final results to be announced, and for most of them, this was the last time they would appear in the training team for the Mathematical Olympiad.

At the same time, almost all the training teachers also arrived.After the class bell rang, the squad leader led the training team to stand up again, and saluted the training teachers for the last time.After saluting, the team leader teacher also appeared with the list.

"First of all, I would like to thank all the students for their hard work and cooperation during this period of time. Although we regret to send most of you back, I hope that your love and exploration of mathematics will not stop." The team leader teacher said, "Next, I will announce the list of the Huaxia team members of this International Mathematical Olympiad. I hope that the selected students can stand up and come to the podium. The first member of the Huaxia team is Lin Jinqi from Qingfeng High School in Nanhu Province classmate."

Following the announcement made by the team leader teacher, Lin Jinqi and other six people went to the front row one after another.Sure enough, as Kang Ting predicted, neither she nor Wang Jiao was shortlisted.In the list of six players, Beijing and Shanghai accounted for two each, and the rest was Liu Chang from Zhejiang Province.As the youngest player in this training team, Liu Chang's nomination was somewhat unexpected.

However, after the teacher announced the CMO final results of the six selected candidates and the results of the five mock tests, everyone's doubts disappeared.Lin Jinqi ranked No.1 with five out of six exams; Liu Chang followed closely; No.3 was Shi Junming from Beijing; No.4 was Zheng Bin from Beijing and Qi Xinyi from Shanghai. Qi Xinyi is also the only girl among the six members; No.6 is Li Bowen from Shanghai.

After reading the results of the six people, everyone knew that they were far from them, so the little jealousy in their hearts finally turned into admiration and blessings for them.In the applause of all the players, the Huaxia team was formed.

In the afternoon, it was time for other training players who were not shortlisted for the Huaxia team to leave the team. Lin Jinqi also went over to help Kang Ting and Wang Jiao pack their luggage.In fact, the Mathematics Society had already booked return air tickets or train tickets for these unselected team members as early as last night, so everyone's departure was very orderly.Knowing the assistance of the Mathematical Society and Tsinghua University, Lin Jinqi sent Kang Ting and Wang Jiao to the car and waved goodbye.But when Lin Jinqi was about to turn around and leave, he happened to bump into Li Wei.

Li Wei was a little embarrassed seeing Lin Jinqi, but he quickly said: "Congratulations, you have finally been selected for the national team."

"I'm just a little bit luckier than you guys." Lin Jinqi said, "Are you going to participate in the Olympic Games next year?"

"I'm not going to participate. I'm going back to prepare for the general review of the senior year." Li Wei said, "If nothing else happens, the extra points of the CMO are enough for me to choose any university in China. By the way, you will choose in the future." Go abroad or take the college entrance examination?"

"Take the college entrance examination." Lin Jinqi replied, "I hope I can be admitted to Tsinghua University and come here to study."

"You miss Tsinghua too? My goal is also Tsinghua." Li Wei suddenly smiled, "It seems that I have a great chance to become your senior! I will write to you after the next semester starts, remember to keep Contact. If I come to Tsinghua first, I will help you find out about Tsinghua, and I will cover you in the future. After you come to Tsinghua, just follow me to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

"Forget it, what can you figure out with your character of squatting in the dormitory and not moving?" Lin Jinqi teased, "I guess you don't know where to go when you leave the west gate of the Tsinghua High School. Okay, in advance I wish you the best of luck in the college entrance examination!"

"Thank you." After Li Wei and Lin Jinqi said goodbye, they boarded the minivan arranged by the academy.

After a busy farewell day, there are only six official members of the national team left in the entire training team.At this time, it was already the beginning of July, and the college entrance examination day was coming soon.The finals of this year's International Mathematical Olympiad will be held in Daejeon Metropolitan City, South Korea from July 7th to 7th.So everyone's passports were urgently collected and sent to the Korean embassy in China to apply for visas.

Although there is only less than a week left, everyone is still gathered by the teachers to study and review the competition questions of the International Mathematical Olympiad Finals every day.It is not very useful to explain the basic question types and knowledge points now, so I started to study the real questions.Studying real questions is actually studying the changes in hot spots in the international mathematics community, while adapting to the difficulty of the test questions.

The test questions for the finals of the International Mathematical Olympiad are collected from all mathematical societies participating in the competition around the world. Finally, the main test committee formed by the host country of the current finals will select 6 questions as the test questions for this competition.After the topic is determined, the team leader teachers from each country will translate it into the native language for the test, and they will also give the first score.

While Lin Jinqi was training on real questions, Game123.com, invested and established by Lin Jinqi and Pony, was also officially launched.Although it only took more than half a month, but because of the support of Lin Jinqi's super program structure, the effect of the entire website is still very good.

In order to enhance the authority of the content of the website, Lin Jinqi also specially recruited the deputy editor of a well-known game magazine as the chief operating officer and chief editor of the website.

Around 2000 was the golden age of domestic computer, Internet and game magazines, such as "Game Base", "Practical Technology of Game Console", "Computer Game Strategy", "Home Computer and Games", "Computer News", "Popular Software" Other magazines have taken off in this era and have written their own brilliant records.

For these magazines, the emergence of Haowan.com is just another little brother born in the industry.Although the competition of game magazines has begun to emerge at this time, everyone has remained friendly to a large extent, and has a little more care for the little brother of Haowan.com. When well-known writers applied for content cooperation, everyone was a little surprised.

At this time, everyone still has no idea about the copyright of online reprinting. For writers or magazines, they even feel that the more their articles are reposted, the more face they have, and they have not considered that this is actually infringing on their copyright. right now.So when Haowan.com offered to pay for reprinting, these magazines were a little surprised.But of course they would not refuse the money delivered to their door, they naturally agreed to Haowan.com's reprint request, and at the same time expressed their willingness to cooperate with Haowan.com for some in-depth reports.

The writers who received extra income had a better impression of Haowan. They not only expressed that they would take the initiative to write some exclusive manuscripts for Haowan, but also promoted and introduced Haowan on various occasions.With recommendations from core players, the popularity of Haowan.com immediately started.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jinqi introduced Haowan on his navigation website Hi123.com and the push of the optimization wizard; and Pony also recommended Haowan on his Penguin chat software.At this time, Hi123 has become the default homepage for most Chinese-speaking Internet users, and Optimization Wizard and Penguin Chat are also must-have software for everyone. With the joint recommendation of these three, Haowan.com has instantly become a popular website in the Chinese-speaking Internet world.

Big Cat is an experienced game player, usually if he wants to read game guides, he can only wait for game magazines.However, game magazines have their own release cycles. If you encounter a game problem, it is unrealistic to find game magazines alone, so Big Cat has to seek help from fellow fans on the Internet.

But the problem now is that there are very few game websites and game forums, and even the few that exist are not particularly professional.What frustrates Da Mao the most is that he is a take-all player, and as he has mines at home, he naturally has no shortage of money to buy all kinds of games he loves.There are so many types of games that can be played, and it is often difficult to find a popular and professional game forum that does not meet your needs.

However, in the game magazine bought by Big Cat today, the advertisement on the back cover attracted his attention.A game website called Haowan.com has been launched. It not only has various game news and strategies, but also has a forum dedicated to providing services for players to communicate, as well as a game library.The most interesting thing for Big Cat is that the games in the game library can be scored, and at the same time, you can see some information about the games that have been announced but not yet officially released.Big Cat immediately turned on the computer. His family is using 2M ADSL Internet service, which is the fastest connection speed at present.

When Big Cat enters the domain name game123.com of Haowan.com, an orange-based website with a lively but not exaggerated color scheme appears in front of him.Compared with most websites still clinging to the page width of 800 pixels, the page width of Haowan.com has been upgraded to 1024 pixels.From the perspective of visual effects alone, Haowan.com looks high-end and more upscale.Big Cat read a few news items on the homepage, and found that in addition to domestic game news, there were also foreign game news.

With the financial support of Lin Jinqi and Pony, Haowan.com has established content cooperation with IGN, GameSpot in Europe and the United States, and Japan’s Dianyutong. Therefore, Lin Jinqi dares to say that the overseas game information on Haowan.com is definitely the latest and most complete, and the relevant comments are also affirmative. is the most authoritative.

After reading the homepage, the big cat found the special area for the game he played.In the special area, all the news and strategies are related to this game.The rating in the upper right corner of the special area is divided into editor rating and player rating. The editor rating is now 4 stars, which is already an excellent game; while the player rating is 8.1 points, which seems to be loved by ordinary players.Seeing such an excellent performance of their favorite game, Big Cat and Yourong clicked into the forum.The forum of Haowan.com has set up an exclusive page for each game, and this is the first time for Big Cat to discover that there are so many people playing the same game as him.

The big cat suddenly remembered the troubles he had encountered, so he posted a question on the forum.Soon someone replied to my post, but unfortunately they came to say that he also had the same trouble.Then there are all kinds of water posts, just when the big cat is dumbfounded, someone finally gave a solution.According to this method, the big cat successfully passed the game level.

Damao suddenly felt that after having Haowan.com, there seemed to be no need for any game magazines.And besides playing games, it's not bad to hang out with other players in forums every day.
