Chapter 159 We are the world's number one
Lin Chen woke up the next morning from the cold.
When I got up, Melbourne outside the window had turned into a snowy wonderland.
Although I already knew last night that it was snowing outside.
But when Lin Chen saw the snow and ice in July for the first time, he couldn't help but marvel.
Later, during breakfast, everyone's conversation revolved around the weather outside.
"Have you heard? It's snowing heavily all over Australia right now!"
"The snow is so heavy. It seems like Australia has never been this cold at this time of year before."
"It seems to be caused by a sudden northward movement of cold air from Antarctica."
"Antarctica?" Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.
No one else noticed and continued chatting:
"With such heavy snow, will our flights be affected?"
"I do not know."
Seeing that everyone was talking about snow but no one seemed to care about the match results that would be announced in an hour, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask:
"Doesn't anyone care about our ranking?"
The dinner table suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Lin Chen as if he were an idiot.
After a moment of silence, Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "With you here, do we still need to care about the result?"
"Exactly! We're definitely number one!"
"There's absolutely no suspense! With your guidance, as long as we play normally, we're guaranteed to win."
"No way? No way? Lin Chen, are you worried about yourself?"
Laughter immediately erupted at the dinner table.
And just over an hour later, just as everyone had guessed.
As expected, the Dragon Team achieved first place in the final with all members scoring full marks.
They won their first team gold medal at the IMO!
Lin Chen was later awarded the title of Best Player in this year's Mathematical Olympiad with a score of 100!
In the Great Hall of the University of Melbourne.
Lin Chen, Chen Xiaoxiao, and the remaining four teammates stood on the podium.
Accompanied by the rising red flag and the stirring national anthem behind them.
Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance.
Xiaoxiao, we did it!
Ah!
The two of them held the gold medal high together, declaring to the world:
"We are number one in the world!"
On the sidelines, the American team members, who had made numerous preparations but still only managed to secure second place in the team competition, looked helpless and silently lowered their heads.
Tang Ming and Zhang Qing were filled with remorse.
If they hadn't left the Chinese national team, that gold medal should have been theirs!
"Comrade, congratulations on achieving first place in the Mathematical Olympiad!"
This is a victory for your personal talent, and even more so a symbol of our collective honor!
Your achievements not only bring glory to our country, but also set an example for workers and young people all over the world!
Please allow me to award you 50 Academic Points as an achievement reward!
At the same time, please allow me to remind you that you have successfully completed the bounty mission to triumph over IMO!
Please go to the mission interface to claim your reward as soon as possible!
May you continue to scale new heights on your future journey; glory belongs to you!
After the award ceremony, Xiao Li and Teacher Zhu greeted her with expressions of satisfaction.
Congratulations! Congratulations on winning the gold medal!
"It wasn't easy! Teacher Xiao and I have already booked a table at a hotel for you to celebrate! And we paid for it ourselves!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Teachers, did you order Western or Chinese food? I'm getting tired of eating hamburgers and steaks these past few days."
"Don't worry, it's Chinese food, of course!"
"yeah!"
Just as Lin Chen and the others were having dinner and celebrating, the results of the math Olympiad were quickly spread online by various media outlets.
The Americans had previously made a lot of noise about this IMO competition.
Even their president mentioned this year's IMO competition on his personal Twitter account.
This signifies that the US team will win first place and make America great again!
Unfortunately, the Americans were proven wrong when the results came out.
The louder their voices were before, the more swollen their faces are now.
So, unsurprisingly, the foreign media's reaction to the results was rather muted.
It was as if the IMO competition had never happened.
Not even a single report can be found.
Only on some social media platforms are Americans voicing their anger and indignation.
In contrast to the lackluster performance of foreign media, domestic media and social media platforms naturally launched a large-scale publicity campaign.
"The Dragon Nation team has won its first-ever team gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad!"
"Everyone got a perfect score! The Dragon Kingdom Math Olympiad Team achieved a resounding victory!"
"An unprecedented six-peat! The Chinese national team has dominated the top spot for six consecutive years!"
Most of the media coverage focused on the Chinese team's gold medal achievement.
Online, various self-media outlets and netizens focused all their attention on the post Lin Chen had just made.
After winning the gold medal, Lin Chen quietly took a picture of it and casually posted it on Weibo.
Honestly, he wasn't trying to show off.
I just wanted to share with everyone my sincere patriotism and desire to win glory for my country.
Unsurprisingly, his Weibo comment section exploded once again.
"Holy crap, the guy won a gold medal? In the math Olympiad?"
"It's more than just a gold medal! Doesn't anyone see the news on the official website of the International Mathematical Olympiad? This genius not only won a gold medal, but also got a perfect score of 100! (Thumbs up)"
"Isn't the total score for the Math Olympiad only 42? How did you get 100 points? (Question)"
"That's why they call him a master! I heard he got that 100 points because he wrote out every possible solution for every single problem!"
"Holy crap, no way?!"
"I'm kneeling before Lin Shen! A genius is a genius! (doge)"
……
But not everyone was happy for Lin Chen and his team to win the medal.
For example, Principal Lin of Donghai No.1 Middle School sighed in his office after learning that Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao had won awards.
"Sigh, why didn't they hold this competition earlier? Why did they have to hold it during summer vacation? Who are we supposed to hang our banners for?"
Director Ye, who was in the office next to him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, the award was received during the summer vacation; otherwise, if Principal Lin had continued to hang banners like this, the office budget wouldn't have been enough for the year.
When Lin's parents heard the news, they also frowned.
"Old Lin, our son has become number one in the world. Should we throw a celebration?"
"We should do it! Of course we should! This is the first in the world! Isn't it even more glorious than being the top scorer in the college entrance exam?"
"But this money..."
Mr. Lin immediately said, "Don't panic! Lin Chen still has money in his card..."
When Lin's parents decided to hold another banquet to celebrate Lin Chen winning the gold medal.
Lin Chen, far away in Australia, suddenly felt a little uneasy...
……
After lunch, everyone returned to their dormitories, their stomachs rumbling, and began packing their luggage to prepare for their return home.
After packing his things, Lin Chen saw that there was still some time before departure, so he lay down on the bed and opened the system interface.
I finally completed my first bounty mission.
Don't forget to claim the reward for this mission.
Click on the bounty mission program.
The original task list has been transformed into a rewards screen.
Because it's a purely text-based explanation, it doesn't seem to have been influenced by the style of that 1950s bear-themed sister.
It still has that pure system feel.
"The host has achieved the following accomplishments: 'Slapping the traitor in the face,' 'Submitting the exam early,' 'First place in the Mathematical Olympiad,' and 'Perfect score is just the limit for you!'"
"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the mission and achieving glory at IMO! You have been awarded 200 Academic Points and one chance to win a prize!"
"Host, would you like to start the lottery immediately?"
After being bombarded by Natasha's revolutionary fervor for several days, Lin Chen was starting to miss the cold, impersonal tone of the system.
So he didn't exit the interface and said directly, "Start the lottery!"
After a simple lottery animation.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a one-time repulsive force field generator. It can withstand three attacks from kinetic energy weapons with an energy level of up to 1500 joules within 10 minutes."
