Mathematics was not like physics, where the answer could be given off the top of one’s head. Complex math problems require multiple steps of calculation.

The program team prepared a whiteboard and a black marker for each of the eight contestants.

They could use them to calculate their answers.

The evening segment was divided into two parts. One part followed the afternoon’s question-and-answer format. The quiz portion was the most effective test of a person’s sharpness of mind, mental quality, knowledge, and was also the best way to highlight the gap between people. The other part was a normal problem-solving portion.

Though the evening Q&A was not quite the same as the one in the afternoon. The afternoon quiz focused on experimental questions, but the evening quiz focused more on quick calculations.

The questions weren’t very difficult but it’s not easy to mentally calculate the answers at high speed.

In the evening, there were 20 quick questions plus 15 general questions. 5 points would be awarded for a correct answer and 3 points would be deducted for an incorrect one.

The math questions were quite long, so they would be written on a large whiteboard, and then the host would read them out slowly.

There was originally no live broadcast in the evening, but because the stream in the afternoon was so successful, the program team did not want to miss such a good opportunity. They had a feeling that if they continue live streaming, it would attract a lot of fans. So the program team drew up a temporary contract and asked the guests to sign them.

In just one minute after it started, many viewers flooded into the live broadcast room.

【I’m here to see Little Sister Rong Xuan show off her power.】

【Awesome.】

【I’m here to see Ning Chun.】

【It’s math tonight, I’m really looking forward to it.】

【Hurry and officially start the betting. My fish balls are already impatient.】

【If there’s a betting competition, I’ll bet all of my 200,000 fish balls to Rong Xuan, no explanation.】

【I’ll give my fish balls and even my light sticks. I’ll give everything I have, just give Rong Xuan a few more shots.】

The live stream was buzzing with excitement and the evening competition also officially began.

“For the first question, two candles of different thicknesses…… How long was the power outage?”

“A. 10 minutes, B. 20 minutes, or C. 30 minutes?”

Rong Xuan was slower, so Ning Chun grabbed this question.

Ning Chun confidently gave her answer, “C.” After doing so, Ning Chun also explained the general process of how she got the answer.

The host glanced at the answer sheet in his hand and a smile appeared on his face. “Congratulations to Ning Chun for successfully scoring 5 points. As expected of an Olympiad gold medal winner. Your math skills are really great.”

Li You sighed heavily.

It’s over, it’s over, tonight was probably Ning Chun’s time to shine.

When it comes to learning mathematics, Ning Chun was an ace.

Average people really couldn’t compare to her.

Li You pulled herself together. She couldn’t be weak and serve as a foil. No matter what, she should make an effort. She couldn’t be left far behind.

As for Rong Xuan, she no longer had any expectations.

Everyone has their own strengths and subjects that they were good at.

In Li You’s opinion, Rong Xuan’s expertise should be physics. As for mathematics, she’s probably pretty average.

After all, Rong Xuan herself said that she ‘wasn’t bad’ at mathematics.

Sigh, this level was good but it really couldn’t compare to Ning Chun’s.

After the first question was over, the host started to read the second question.

This time, Rong Xuan managed to grab it and scored 5 points.

【Hahaha, Rong Xuan is getting serious!】

【Go get it, Little Sister!】

【Beat the others!】

“The third question needs complex calculation……”

Rong Xuan successfully grabbed this question and once again scored 5 points.

“The fourth question is very difficult. Please consider whether you should rush to get it or not since you may lose points in the end.

Let me give you a friendly reminder, read the question carefully and don’t get sidetracked because there’s a lot of confusing information in it. It’s impossible to answer correctly if you get the question wrong……”

When the host’s words fell, the others were still hesitating. And while Ning Chun was still calculating rapidly with her pen, Rong Xuan had already pressed the buzzer and gave the correct answer.

Seeing the answer given by Rong Xuan, even the host’s gaze towards her became somewhat different.

As the old saying goes, no matter how good one was, there’s always someone out there that’s better. This sentence really makes sense.

The host originally thought that Ning Chun was already very good, but he never expected that there was actually a person hiding in the scene who was lower profile than Ning Chun and was a more powerful student than her.

As for the Internet, it’s completely abuzz.

【This little sister is definitely an all-rounder.】

【She’s already so good at physics, how can she still be good at math?】

【Is there any way for scums like us to live?】

【Upstairs, let alone scums, even the top students at the set are almost dying, okay?】

【Hahahaha, that’s true, look at the others, they looked like they’re there to buy soy sauce the entire time. Their faces are sallow and appeared as if they can’t bear to stay in the room any longer.】

【Most people really can’t handle someone like Rong Xuan.】

【So, what are they there for?】

【My Little Sister Rong Xuan can support this program by herself!】

Even Li You was surprised. Her eyes widened with disbelief.

Didn’t Rong Xuan say that she’s just not bad at math?

She actually gave a perfect answer to such a difficult question. How could this level be called ‘not bad’?

Although it wasn’t Li You herself who answered the question correctly, she was as excited as if she was the one who did it.

So cool!

She secretly gave Rong Xuan a thumbs up.

If she could speak, she would definitely shout ‘awesome’ on the spot!

Rong Xuan didn’t receive Li You’s thumbs up. She was slightly moving her right hand, preparing for the next question.

Solving questions could give people a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Especially when those competing in the same room were all peers with similar levels.

“Question six……”

“Question seven……”

After the evening’s math competition, Rong Xuan answered 18 questions correctly and scored 90 points, leaving the others far behind.

There were 35 questions in total and Rong Xuan got 18 of them, which meant that she alone got more than half of the points.

Second place was Ning Chun, who only answered 9 questions correctly this time, exactly half of what Rong Xuan got.

This was a pretty clear gap.

When the live stream ended, Li You excitedly rushed to Rong Xuan. “Wow, Rong Xuan, you’re so good at math. How can you say you’re only not bad?!”

Rong Xuan tilted her head. She picked up the whiteboard used in answering the questions, wipe it clean, and write on it.

“I’m not bad at it.”

Rong Xuan had never been a high-profile person. If one was familiar with her, they would know that it’s extremely rare for her to say something good about herself.

Li You also realized at this time that she had been stupid.

Even if Rong Xuan was really good at math, she couldn’t possibly say she’s super good, could she? That would be too narcissistic. When evaluating oneself, one must leave some room for improvement. If Rong Xuan really said that she’s super good, she wouldn’t believe it and would think that Rong Xuan was being too pompous.

And just now it actually depends on how she could perform on the spot.

So Rong Xuan really didn’t reply wrongly.

Li You said quietly, “Rong Xuan, you’re my idol from now on.”

Unexpectedly, Rong Xuan could actually press Ning Chun to the ground when it comes to mathematics.

So amazing.

Although it’s just a reality show so there weren’t many questions and the knowledge points tested were also very limited, and that it couldn’t fully demonstrate a person’s abilities, however, Rong Xuan won. It at least proved that she’s better than Ning Chun in some aspects.

Li You had a good feeling for Rong Xuan. Ning Chun was too proud, but Rong Xuan’s temperament was very gentle. She admired Rong Xuan even more.

Rong Xuan pursed her lips and smiled.

After the day’s recording was over, they could finally go back to their rooms and get some rest.

Not long after she returned to her room, she was excitedly informed by a staff that she was trending.

There were two hot searches about her alone.

#HighSchoolDetectivesTopStudentRongXuan#

#MathematicsRongXuan#

Although Rong Xuan was also a top student in her previous life, she had never participated in a reality show.

It’s her first time to be on the hot search.

This experience was a bit novel.

She never thought that one day she would go trending and be seen by so many people.

Rong Xuan clicked on the first hot search. There was a short video of her answering questions.

The first comment below already has nearly 10,000 likes.

【How do you study? So smart!】

【I didn’t study well in the first place, now I don’t know what to say except dang.】

【I hope my future children can be as good as you.】

After Rong Xuan saw these comments, she pursed her lips and thought for a moment.

Then she logged into Weibo and spent twenty minutes writing a post about her learning experience.

The staff had been standing at the side the whole time. She originally thought that Rong Xuan would be very excited to see herself on the hot search, but in fact, Rong Xuan was only surprised for a little while. After her slight surprised, she started writing a post.

Seeing Rong Xuan posting on Weibo about her experience in improving her grades, the staff wondered how there could be such a good little fairy in the world.

Not only was she good-looking, she also has good grades. In addition, she’s also kind and selfless. Even though the program team did not ask her to do anything, she took the initiative to send out useful information and share her learning experience.

The staff quickly scanned the content posted by Rong Xuan. After reading it, there was only one thought in her mind.

This was very practical and useful.

Rong Xuan’s words weren’t flashy at all and what she wrote was not just to show off. She’s really sharing her experience from her heart.

The staff member glanced at Rong Xuan secretly and finding that she wasn’t paying attention, she quickly logged into her Weibo account with over five million followers and liked Rong Xuan’s post.

This big account of hers was only known to her and not even her close colleagues had a clue.

She had never given likes to anyone around her, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but want to give Rong Xuan a boost using her big account.

If Rong Xuan didn’t become popular, heaven wouldn’t tolerate it!

———

At the base of SIU Club’s PUBG division, Zuozuo, a member of the first team, was scrolling through Weibo to relax a bit.

He suddenly came across the hot search #HighSchoolDetectivesTopStudentRongXuan#.

High School Detective? What the hell is this thing?

Is it a new show?

Out of curiosity, Zuozuo couldn’t help clicking on this hot search.

Then…… he couldn’t move his eyes away anymore.

The girl in the video was so beautiful that she seems to be glowing!

How could there be such a beautiful girl in this world?

He couldn’t help but swore in a low voice while watching. “Little Fairy is even a top student!”

When Pangpang^[1]fatty, another member of the first team, heard the word ‘little fairy’, his heart started stirring.

The boy’s fat body trembled and he loudly asked, “Zuozuo, what are you looking at?”

Zuozuo said without raising his head, “Looking at the little fairy ah.”

Pangpang moved his huge head over to watch with him.

Zuozuo pushed Pangpang with some disgust, but Pangpang was too heavy to move.

In the end, he had no choice but to let Pangpang watch the video with him.

So, what was originally one person exclaiming, now turned to two people loudly exclaiming together.

The two of them were enjoying themselves watching with all kinds of expletives, when Zuozuo’s phone had been suddenly snatched away.

He immediately turned around unhappily while asking in dissatisfaction, “What are you doing? Who snatched this Daddy’s—”

Zuozuo originally wanted to ask who took his phone, but after seeing who the person was, he instinctively shut his mouth.

The person was a new member of the team, Wild, whose Chinese name was Gu Ye.

They heard that he’s a dandy from a wealthy family, the kind that was particularly rich. As soon as he arrived, he skipped the training and substitute team, and directly entered Team 1.

Even before he joined the team, the team manager warned them in advance not to offend him.

Naturally, Zuozuo didn’t want to offend Gu Ye and look for trouble, but the other person had now snatched his phone. If he didn’t do anything, it would make him cowardly and not like a man.

They were all teenage boys who were most prone to impulsiveness.

Zuozuo stood up frowning and asked stiffly, “What are you doing?”

Gu Ye played with the phone in his hand and said lazily, “Nothing?”

Zuozuo’s tone hardened, “Nothing? You’re affecting my ability to see Little Fairy!”

Gu Ye lowered his eyes and said, “She’s my little fairy.”

Zuozuo thought he heard wrong at first and asked with some confusion, “What did you say?”

Gu Ye’s eyes narrowed as he said word by word, “I said, she, is, my, little, fairy.”
