You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 54: Bring back a championship!

After returning from the youth training camp, Mingjing's life briefly returned to normal. School opened on September 1st and Mingjing returned to campus.

The National High School Mathematics League is held on the first weekend of September every year, which is the 5th and 6th.

As soon as Mingjing returned to school, his class teacher Zheng Hu pulled him into the office to discuss Mingjing's recent situation.

"What's wrong with you?" The head teacher adjusted his glasses. "How did you end up in the youth training camp?"

Ming Jing was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Oh, you're still paying attention to this?"

Mingjing's trip to the youth training camp actually did not cause much discussion among his classmates.

After all, those who can enter the No. 1 Middle School of South China Normal University tend to play fewer games. Even if they play games occasionally for leisure, they generally don’t pay attention to the competitions, let alone things like youth training camps.

So he was still quite surprised that the head teacher knew about this.

"I've been playing this game for six or seven years," the teacher said with a hint of pride, but then immediately added, "What about you? How are you doing?"

Zheng Hu still remembers how complicated his mood was when he was browsing his phone a few days ago and suddenly saw Ming Jing.

Three parts of shock, three parts of doubt, three parts of confusion, and one part of anger. It's a mixture of emotions.

"I don't have any problems." Ming Jing spread his hands, "I just want to go out and have some fun during the summer vacation."

"Is this the time to joke?" The homeroom teacher frowned. "Aren't you afraid of affecting your performance in the national competition?"

Ming Jingyi grinned: "It's okay, I do the exercises you send me every day. And I haven't missed many."

Hearing this, Zheng Hu was helpless for a moment.

Because he counted the accuracy rates of his math competition students' answers every day, he knew that Mingjing's accuracy rate was among the highest in the class.

If he hadn't seen the video, he would have thought Ming Jing was studying hard every day.
"Okay, let's go back." Zheng Hu said seriously, "It's okay to go out and have fun during the summer vacation as long as you ensure your studies. But don't do it once school starts. First, finish the competition seriously!"

Ming Jing thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Some things should be said after the national competition.
In the next few days, Mingjing also entered the final sprint of the competition.

With a clear goal in mind, these past few days have been the hardest days for Mingjing to study in his life. A vast amount of questions filled his mind, and he didn't feel tired at all.

In the blink of an eye, it was September 5th.

It is still Wuhan Iron and Steel No. 3 Middle School.

Although it is called the National High School Mathematics League, the exams will definitely be held separately in each province, but they will use the same set of papers. After all, it is unrealistic to force candidates from all over the country to be together.

"come on."

"It's you who needs to work harder. I'm letting you show off and run for the youth training camp. I want to see how you do in the exam!"

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Ming Jing and Wang Hao waved goodbye and entered their own examination rooms, looking at the test papers and draft papers handed to them.

Ming Jing took a deep breath and started answering the questions.

The national competition papers are very difficult, but the elimination rate is not high.

There are a total of 700 candidates in the country. As long as they can rank in the top 400, they can advance to the national training team at the end of the year. In terms of elimination rate, it is even worse than the LPL youth training camp.

However, Mingjing’s goal is very high. He must be among the top 60 in the country, which is indeed a challenge for him.

As usual, Mingjing first looked at the first 40-point question.

1. (Full score 40 points) As shown in the figure, in an isosceles triangle ABC, AB = BC, I is the incenter, M is the midpoint of BI, P is a point on side AC such that AP = 3PC, H is an extension of PI such that MH ⊥ PH, and Q is the midpoint of the minor arc AB on the circumcircle of triangle ABC. Prove that BH ⊥ QH.
Ming Jing started laughing when he saw this question.

Just have hands.

There were exams on the 5th and 6th. When Mingjing walked out of the examination room, the head teacher Zheng Hu came up to him and asked everyone how they felt about the exams.

Zheng Hu wasn't worried about his students failing the national competition. After all, Hubei was a strong province in terms of competition, and Huashi No. 1 High School was the leading high school in Hubei. The national elimination rate wouldn't stop them.

But he was more concerned about everyone's ranking.

"Not bad." Wang Hao, Zheng Hu's favorite, said with a smile, "The test paper is a bit difficult, but the ideas are well-thought-out. I think the ranking should be good."

Hearing this, Zheng Hu nodded.

He is very confident in his students' abilities, after all, they are the best students in the entire HUB Province. From his perspective, he hopes that the test paper will be a little more difficult, only in this way can the gap between them be widened.
"What about Ming Jing?" Zheng Hu asked specifically, "How does he feel?"

"It's not bad." Ming Jing nodded: "To be honest, it feels very simple."

Hearing this, Wang Hao next to him took a breath.

It’s simple again?
After two months of youth training, your math skills haven't regressed?
He knew that Mingjing was always pragmatic and never played tricks.

Last time this B said LOL was easy, he became the number one in the country in the blink of an eye!
I want to see how high you rank!

The results of this exam were released a little slowly, after all, it is a national exam and the results are released uniformly.

It was not until September 10 that the ranking of this national competition finally appeared on the official website of the China Mathematical Olympiad.

The students still didn't have to check it themselves. The head teacher Zheng Hu immediately came to the class and posted the ranking information on the small whiteboard on the left side of the classroom.

Ming Jing leaned over and looked directly from the front row, and soon his mouth turned into a grin.

Coincidentally, my good brother Wang Hao was standing next to me.

Wang Hao: HUB ranked fifth in the province and 46th in the country.

Mingjing: HUB ranked sixth in the province and 47th in the country.

"Oh my god." Wang Hao was shocked when he saw the ranking. "You can actually rank higher?"

Ming Jing was ranked seventh in the provincial exam. After two months of training at the youth training camp, he even ranked first in the national rankings. And he even moved up one place in the competition?
Is that human being.

Ming Jing sighed and shook his head, "I almost did it to you, what a pity."

Wang Hao waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this: "Go away, I'm annoyed just seeing you!"

Hearing this, Ming Jing smiled and said, "You won't be able to see me soon."

"Huh?" Wang Hao was confused. "What do you mean?"

That very night, Mingjing took the ranking and gathered with his parents and cousins.

"So, is this a done deal?" The cousin looked at the list in Mingjing's hand and asked, "Then should I have someone contact JD.com?"

The parents looked at Mingjing's national ranking of 47th, with smiles on their faces, and nodded helplessly.

I can only say that with this score, you are indeed qualified to be willful.

Ming Jing also grinned.

Although a little sudden.

But his career officially started from this moment.

The next morning, Mingjing went to school with his father and entered the head teacher's office.

"What?" Zheng Hu listened to Ming Jing's father's words, his face full of disbelief. "Worlds? Ming Jing?"

The head teacher is actually a loyal fan of League of Legends events. Every year at the World Championship, as long as it is related to LPL, he will not miss a single game. Even if he misses it because of class, he will go home and watch it.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to see the relevant videos of Mingjing Youth Training Camp.

But, it was really hard for him to connect his students with the World Championship!
When he saw Ming Jing attending the youth training camp, he already thought it was magical. Now he turned around and heard that Ming Jing was going to the World Championship, which was even more like a science fiction blockbuster!

There's at least a huge gap between the youth training camp and the World Championship, right?
"Are you serious?" the homeroom teacher confirmed again, "JDG Club, invite Mingjing to the World Championship?"

"Yes." Dad certainly understood the teacher's feelings, so he patiently explained: "Tomorrow morning, Mingjing will fly to Beijing with his cousin, so he came here specifically to ask for leave."

"Who is his cousin?"

"Mingkai, I don't know if you recognize him."

"I know him." Zheng Hu thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure you can go directly to the World Championship? Can big clubs make substitutions so casually?"

"His cousin said it's not certain yet. It depends on Mingjing's tryout performance. But it's okay. If there's no starting spot, Mingjing will be back right away."

After hearing this, the head teacher had nothing else to say and could only say, "I hope you have truly considered your thoughts."

After all, he is just a class teacher and has only the right to make suggestions to students, not the right to make decisions.

Since Mingjing's father had spoken personally, he naturally had no right to refuse.

"Don't worry." Ming Jing patted his chest, "I know you're here to watch the game, just wait and see how I perform!"

The head teacher then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After returning to the classroom, Ming Jing began to pack his things and met Wang Hao who had just returned from the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" Wang Hao asked, looking at Ming Jing, who had already put on his backpack. "Why are you going home so soon?"

Ming Jing chuckled: "He went to the World Championship."

"?" A question mark almost appeared above Wang Hao's head. "Stop talking nonsense. Where are you going?"

"I'm not kidding. I'm really going to the World Championship, JD.com."

As Ming Jing spoke, he took out his cell phone and showed his WeChat to his deskmate.

On his mobile phone, JDG owner and manager Lan Boqing had added Mingjing's WeChat and sent him relevant information such as the time and location of the tryout.

Wang Hao looked at the message and stood up immediately, "Are you serious?"

Ming Jing spread his hands and said, "I told you yesterday that you won't be seeing me for a while."

Wang Hao got anxious when he heard this. "Who would have thought you meant this? Are you not going to compete anymore?"

"Fight." Ming Jing's tone was calm. "It's just a game. It won't affect my competition. Didn't I just come back from the youth training camp?"

Wang Hao paused, unable to utter any words.

All I can say is that Mingjing's exaggeration is always beyond your imagination.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, when Wang Hao learned that Mingjing went to the youth training camp to play, he was worried whether the youth training camp would affect Mingjing's grades.

When you come back and take the exam, your ranking goes up instead of down. Can you bear this?

Wang Hao actually always thought that he was a genius. He ranked among the top in the province in competitions and could become a master just by playing games. If he had not been exposed to competitions since childhood, he might have tried to play professionally.

But when he actually saw Ming Jing, Wang Hao realized that he was still far from being a genius, and his career was even more of a fantasy.
Wang Hao is a classic example of someone who's both worried about his brother's hardship and worried about him driving a Land Rover. So when Ming Jing's scores kept rising, he was naturally upset, because he had a chance to drive a Land Rover, but he was just one step behind his brother.

But when his brother decided to drive a Gundam instead of a Land Rover, all he could do was give his blessing.

Because he will never be able to drive a Gundam in his life.

"Then come on!" Wang Hao placed his right fist in front of Ming Jing: "Win the championship and come back, or I'll fight you myself!"

Ming Jing smiled and bumped fists with Wang Hao.

"must."
