The final round. Per the rules, each school would only be sending two persons to compete.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan would be representing HSAU. The others would be waiting in the wait area till the round was over and the award ceremony that followed.

Many in the wait area discovered, to their surprises, the two new huge screens on the wall. Displayed on one of them was the name of the competition and on the other, a countdown to the final found and some other data.

Wow, this wait area was really hopped up overnight, lamented someone.

No kidding.

Whats that? Someone pointed at the data on the lower part of the screen on the left-hand side.

That looked like the team number for each school. Look at the number A-002 behind our schools name. That was the number that we received after the initial draw, right? said another one but then asked, But, what was the purpose of displaying them?

To fill the white space?

Em, I dont know The person next to him looked baffled as well.

Meanwhile, Gu Shao headed straight to the monitoring office in the back.

Director Li with the organizer was very surprised to see Gu Shao showing up there. Then she quickly recalled that Boss Zhou mentioned yesterday over the phone that NTN would be conducting some equipment testing today.

Over on this side, once they were all set, Gu Xi looked over at Sheng Xiuyan and asked, How do you want to split the questions up? After all, they would both be working on the same set of problems. It was necessary for them to divide it up.

Sheng Xiuyan said without missing a bit, You go from top down; Ill go from bottom up. Gu Xi will start from the beginning and work toward the end; whereas Sheng Xiuyan would start with the last problem and work his way back up.

That way we will not affect each other at all. Sheng Xiuyan added.

He wasnt sure how many could Gu Xi complete. This way would work out the best while leaving enough problems for Gu Xi to work on.

Gu Xi was taken aback a little when she heard his suggestion, But, thats inconvenient for you, no?

Habitually, from top down was normal but many would feel awkward going from bottom up.

Sheng Xiuyan scratched out his hands to show that that would not matter to him at all.

It wont bother me at all. Thats stuck-up tone. Yup, that was the valedictorian alright.

Besides, you want to compete with that whats his name from the school next to us, no? said Sheng Xiuyan.

Well, yes. But, what Gu Xi wanted to say was that the one next to them was really not that much of a challenge.

Alright. Gu Xi nodded and said, Then, once it started, we will go as fast as we can and skip the ones we dont. We can swap afterward.

Sheng Xiuyan gave Gu Xi a look and nodded. Alrighty.
