In the last days of November, Li Zheng once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to chemistry.

He could feel that the road ahead was gradually narrowing.

It is almost difficult to find any recognized textbooks and exercises.

More often than not, I take the initiative to find some undergraduate and graduate textbooks based on the exam syllabus, and do one or less exercises.

To study further, it will involve papers.

For example, the (+)-nakadarina retrosynthesis problem presented by Zhou Yi was not derived from a textbook at all, but from an award-winning paper more than ten years ago.

Li Zheng couldn't help but think that Shi Yang seemed to have entered the field of paper study a long time ago, and he had even published some small papers through unofficial channels.

This state is probably the end of basic learning.

In this sense, Li Zheng's chemistry study during this period was more about looking forward to completion than pursuing breakthroughs.

Basic learning stage, completion of chemistry.

So in these days, just learn everything you can and give it a try.

Then say goodbye to chemistry neatly.

Although I really want to get into physics as soon as possible.

But there is no way, who among the people who join the Dragon Ball Group is not an achievement-controller?

…

At noon on December 1, the Jijing Chemical team completed its assembly at the South Railway Station.

Among them, there are 13 participating students, one team leader, one observer, one representative from the chemical society, and three non-voting representatives.

What’s interesting is that the leader of the team this time is Teacher Sun Leyang.

Just because Zhou Yi is a person of this level, he directly joined the final organizing committee and became a big boss.

In addition, Zhou Yi himself is also one of the finalists. At this stage, it is no longer convenient to get too close to the Jijing team.

Of course, judging from the situation in previous years, it can still only be Zhou Yi who leads the national team to IHO.

As for the observer of the Jijing team, it is Sun Leyang's old enemy, Yu Zhiqiang, a Huajing teacher from the city's No. 1 school.

At the same time, Yu Hong also got the identity of a representative attending the meeting, and he was afraid that he would have to motivate Li Zheng alone.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and in less than 4 hours, they arrived at the Nanjiao Hotel in Jinan City after taking the high-speed train and bus.

As the hotel designated by the organizing committee, the lobby was already filled with a competitive atmosphere.

Welcome banners were hung high, and a large Chemistry Olympiad background board was also erected in the center of the lobby.

When Li Zheng and his party entered, all members of a certain provincial team were taking a group photo in front of the background board, and two other teams were gathering to talk.

Several teachers from the Jijing team collected everyone's IDs and went to sign in and go through the formalities.

Li Zheng, Shi Yang, Wu Shu, and Ou Xingzhuo found a few sofas to sit down and began to secretly observe the members of other provincial teams.

But soon, they discovered that there was no need to observe at all.

Because 90% of the people are men with flat heads and glasses, wearing inconspicuous sportswear.

Completely indistinguishable.

As for girls, except hotel staff and teachers.

In the entire lobby, there are four provincial teams.

There was only one person, Wu Shu.

Fortunately, everyone is a shy guy with a crew cut who is not aggressive, otherwise Li Zheng and Ou Xingzhuo would have played the role of protecting Athena.

Shi Yang is different, he is already protecting.

Seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, he was seen squirming right in front of Wu Shu's body, using his body to block the eyes of other provincial men with flat heads: "Brothers, stay behind with me, all hail..."

"I won't let you go." Li Zheng sat on the sofa and reported to his parents, teachers, principal, and friends that he was safe. "Don't worry, anyone who has the strength to come here will never have the guts to strike up a conversation with a girl."

"Look what you said!" Shi Yang'er stared. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that it was indeed the case, but he didn't dare to relax, "Then Li Zheng, if someone really comes, you have to stop him.

ah."

"Let's leave this task to the dog owner." Li Zheng pursed his lips at Ou Xingzhuo.

"I'm working on data from previous years." Ou Xingzhuo said, turning the tablet in his hand to show it to everyone, "Just looking at the data of the past three years, Xiangnan, Zhuanjiang, and Northern Hebei are the first echelon, especially Xiangnan

, the overall strength is much stronger than other provinces, which should be due to the fact that the educational resources of the entire province are tilted."

"It has actually gotten better in the past two years." Wu Shu took out a few pieces of chocolate cake from his schoolbag and handed them out one by one. "In the past, the Huajing National Team did not have a policy of only one person from each province being selected, until one year.

Seven of the top ten in the finals are from Shonan..."

"Hey, how about we exclusive the top four this year?" Shi Yang took the chocolate cake and carefully put it in his school bag.

Wu Shu laughed and stretched: "Well... come on, I've been following dramas for the past half month... I can't help it, I really can't be interested in chemistry. I can just get a national scholarship."

~”

"With your mentality, you will definitely not be able to win the national gold medal." Ou Xingzhuo closed the computer and raised his glasses, "The principal said that we should try our best to join the national training team."

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it." Wu Shu shook his head, "I can barely get along with a bunch of physical guys, but I really can't stand the chemical guys..."

"Ah..." Shi Yang trembled, "Aren't they all... almost the same?"

"Thinking is fundamentally different." Wu Shu said, twirling his fingers in his ear, "It's like seafood and durian, they don't go together at all."

"Isn't this metaphor... too unreasonable?" Shi Yang hurriedly asked Li Zheng for help, "Brother, you have high emotional intelligence. Please tell me about it."

"Well...I'm going to the bathroom." Li Zheng chose to avoid the topic.

Shi Yang then mentioned it: "I didn't want to, but as soon as you said you would go, then I would go too."

The two of them entered the bathroom and stood side by side. They had just untied their clothes and before they had time to chat, they heard the sound in the private room behind them.

"Why are there so many people here in Jijing?" asked a tender male voice.

Another man with a more silly voice replied cursing: "Hey, it doesn't matter, the Jijing people don't take advantage every day or two. They are trained by Zhou Chenghuan."

"Won't Zhou Chenghuan tell them the problem?"

"Who knows," Han Nanba said with a grin, "The guy sitting on the sofa in the Jijing team has such virtues that I think he has a lot of connections."

"How do we go about this? Give us a quota directly?"

"That's not necessary. The people from the Jijing Chemical Society can control it." Han Nan chuckled, "But it won't be his turn to run wild in the National Finals. I'll torture him to death."

The young man smiled and said: "Haha, you have the guts to say it to his face."

"I...I don't talk trash. Competitions and results have the final say. Wait until I win the championship before dumping him in the face."

"Haha, what if someone from Jijing wins the championship?"

"Impossible." Han Nan smiled generously, "The most threatening thing about Jijing is nothing more than that Cobalt God, who looks like a piglet. I have seen his speeches in several competition groups, but that's all.

, I just know how to show off to the newbies, his name is all made of shit, not counting."

"Indeed, the top talents from places like Jijing can only be saved in our southern Hunan, hahaha."

"Province 2 has been praised. Don't forget that their scores are all false. The Jijing Chemistry Association specially promoted the high scores for the sake of face. They also said that the god of shit has a score of 99. I believe his evil? Is the full score only 95?

!”

"Hehe, as soon as the final results come out, their true colors will be revealed."

"Hmph, I really don't regard them as opponents. I was a little bit behind last year and lost to our own people. This time I must go to Prague."

"Yes, the teachers and principal are waiting for you to return to No. 1 Middle School with an international gold medal."

"Iho don't dare say that. Anyway, I will lose to my own people, and I will never lose to those two idiots."

The two of them chatted more and more enthusiastically, until they received the teacher's WeChat message about the gathering, and then they hurriedly packed up and opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw "those two guys".

Li Zheng and Shi Yang had to endure it for a long time just to see his face.

As soon as I saw them coming out, I looked them up and down.

The one with a tender voice is a man with glasses and a crew cut whose features are difficult to identify. If anything, he is probably shorter.

Fortunately, the one with the silly voice has very distinct characteristics.

Just because of that high hairline and fluffy curls.

Normally, when a person's hair reaches a certain length, it will hang down.

His hair was twisting and twisting into the sky unruly, as if it was passing through electricity.

When these two people saw Li Zheng and Shi Yang, they also trembled.

He immediately became shy. After looking at each other, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Brother, don't be impatient." Shi Yang smiled and held the head of the sky, "At least sign up for your name before leaving."

He threw his head and shoulders to the sky, walked to the sink, and started washing his hands without looking at the two of them: "Wei Dongyang."

"Okay." Shi Yang rubbed his hands and stepped forward, "I admit, I do like to show off to newcomers. That's because I can't meet masters. How about we discuss the master's stuff? Organic and inorganic crystal analysis, you

Take your pick."

"We're about to gather." Wei Dongyang turned his face and glanced at Shi Yang, then glanced at Li Zheng, "I'm sorry, I said you look like a pig, it's my fault, I offended you."

"It's okay, I just want to get to know the future champion." Shi Yang chuckled, "Brother, are you implying that except for Piggy, everything else is an objective fact?"

"Haha." Wei Dongyang smiled and took out a piece of paper, "You know it well."

The little glasses man in the sink next to him also said: "I have a point, if we compete in the national team and there is no rule that only one person per province can suppress us in southern Hunan, you Jijing really have nothing to fight for."

"Okay, stop talking about this." Wei Dongyang finally raised his hand and looked at the two of them, "If you can pass us in the finals, it's not too late to talk about it, right?"

"Haha..." Shi Yang rubbed his chin and laughed, "The national competition is so exciting. I have never been stepped on in chemistry in my whole life, and it feels so good..."

(Li Zheng added in his heart: I did it at your home court.)

"Okay, we're going to gather. Is there anything else?" Wei Dongyang threw away the tissue and asked.

"Forget it, forget it..." Little Glasses hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, not forgetting to say, "You two are the first to save yourself, there is no need."

"We made a mistake, brother." Shi Yang raised his hand and pointed, "Including tests, Li Zheng is our number one in Jijing."

"oh?"

Wei Dongyang and Xiao Yan were startled at the same time, and couldn't help but take a serious look at Li Zheng.

This guy is so handsome, how can he still beat the cobalt god who is so handsome in appearance?

Li Zheng shook his head innocently, feeling hurt again because of his incompatible appearance with everyone.

He just wants to make friends with top students from all over the country. Why should he be treated like this?

I can’t help it, I’ve already experienced the chicness of a fluffy parted hair.

Who can still be so cruel as to cut back the shortcomings?

"Okay." Wei Dongyang finally nodded, "After the final results are over, if the two of us are not as good as the two of you, can I treat you to dinner and call me big brother?"

"Brother, no need, it's just a little bit of talk, it doesn't matter." Shi Yang rolled his eyes and had a plan in his mind, "I would like to ask, are you really the number one in southern Hunan?"

"All the provincial team members are here, how can you still lie?" Wei Dongyang nodded, "What on earth are you going to do?"

"Let's do a little thing..." Shi Yang raised his eyebrows and rubbed his hands, "If brother Li Zheng and I are lucky enough to get higher in the exam, can you organize your provincial team members to jointly sign a petition to change the rule of one person per province?"

"Ah???" Wei Dongyang and Xiao Yan were surprised at the same time.

Wei Dongyang said incomprehensibly: "Aren't you looking for trouble for yourself?"

"Yes, of course we in Shonan hope to cancel this rule." Little Glasses said.

"Isn't that good?" Shi Yang clapped his hands together, "You go back and do the work, and we will also do the work. If there is a chance, let each provincial team do the work. It is obviously a competitive competition and representing the country, one should be meritorious.

Yes, inter-provincial protection is meaningless."

"That's what I say..." Wei Dongyang said thoughtfully, "But if you jointly sign a letter privately, the teacher will be unhappy, right?"

"The law does not punish everyone." Shi Yang raised his hand and said, "I will contact many people and write a unified document, and everyone will sign it."

"Well..." Wei Dongyang slapped his thigh, "Okay, this is okay, no matter who wins or loses, I will sign it!"

"Dongyang!" Little Glasses hurriedly pulled him, "The teacher is urging me, let's go first and talk later."

As he pulled Wei Dongyang out, he said to Shi Yang: "I won't sign it. Wei Dongyang can't represent our other team members."

Shi Yang just smiled and waved goodbye to them.

Li Zheng and Shi Yang then started to wash their hands.

"You...had a plan?" Li Zheng really didn't believe that this was Shi Yang's idea.

"Yeah." Shi Yang lowered his head and washed his hands with a smirk, "I've taken care of all the people in our school. If I work hard these days, if I call on them more, the advantages of southern Hunan will no longer be so scary. This broken rule should have been changed long ago."

"Well..." Li Zheng whispered, "Thank you."

"Thank you for what? It's not for you, it's for myself." Shi Yang laughed and took out a tissue, "You are selected for the provincial team with higher grades than me, and you learn faster than me. If I lose to you in the national finals, what will I do?

Isn’t it impossible to go to Prague? I have to fight, haha!”

"Your smile is so fake." Li Zheng also waved his hand and took out a tissue, "What you are afraid of is not losing, but winning, right?"

"...Oh...why do you have to be so understanding?" Shi Yang blushed and wiped his hands fiercely, "Without you, I wouldn't be able to come here...Yes, I feel uncomfortable if I win against you."

"Just because of your mentality, I feel even more uncomfortable when I win against you." Li Zheng threw down the tissue and punched Shi Yang hard, "We should all do our best and don't have these bitching mentality, okay?"

"Damn it, it's obviously you bitches who are complaining, okay!" Shi Yang scolded, "Don't cry if you lose."

"You are the one, right? Chemistry is just a casual chess game for me. I just learned to play casually."

"Ha! Okay, I just like listening to trash talk."

"Then let me say one last serious thing." Li Zheng held the door handle and said softly, "The winner, when you get to the podium, do you dare to call out the other person's name?"

"This is a ball, just do it well and let you take advantage of it."

"It's obviously my charity."

"Come on, let's talk some more trash, haha."

"You look like a piglet."

"...This doesn't work, this hurts my heart..." Shi Yang's expression froze, and he turned to look at the mirror, "Damn, they do look a bit alike."

"Hahaha!"
Chapter completed!
