Entertaining Children

Chapter 4: Don't Play Poker with Mathematical Excellence

"Nine nominations and four awards, "Ling Yunzhi" is well-deserved for the best drama series. "

"Xiao Yao won the best newcomer, and Ye Jiaying, the best actress, lost the TV queen. "

"Once received the award on behalf of him, and was named three times, Xiao Yao became the name with the most appearances in the "Flying Apsaras Award". "

"Best Drama Director Li Xin: Xiao Yao is a catfish. "

"Became nicknamed "Catfish" by the director, Xiao Yao conquered the crew of "Ling Yunzhi". "

.........

After the "Flying Awards" award ceremony, the entertainment media was flooded with various related reports. Among all the reports, apart from the award results that attracted the most attention, Xiao Yao, whose name appeared four times in his acceptance speeches, became the focus of entertainment media reports. Director Li Xin called him "Catfish" on a whim, which became his new nickname.

While the media was still reporting that "Catfish" Xiao Yao "conquered" the entire crew when he appeared in a film and television drama for the first time, Xiao Yao was "beaten" by others in another place and knelt down and sang "Conquer".

Xiao Yao participated in a math winter camp in QH City, Qiong Province. The teachers and companions around him were all math geniuses that are well-known in the country. In terms of fighting, no one in the entire winter camp was his opponent, but in terms of talent in mathematics, Xiao Yao was beaten to pieces.

The reason why Xiao Yao was able to win the second prize in the National Mathematics Contest for Middle School Students and was able to enter the camp was because the scope of the questions in the National Mathematics Contest for Middle School Students was linked to the International Mathematical Olympiad, which greatly exceeded the level of nine-year compulsory education, and was even higher than that of a certain school. The difficulty of mathematics exams in some universities is even higher. In the previous life, Xiao Yao was originally a man of science and engineering with a bachelor’s degree in science and engineering. Therefore, Xiao Yao in this life has a lot more mathematics knowledge that can only be learned in college than ordinary middle school students. In addition, this life has a much better head than the previous life. That's what makes him stand out.

However, after entering the camp, the teachers paid more attention to the training of students in mathematical logic and mathematical thinking. Although the International Mathematical Olympiad is a bit super-class, it is still a competition for middle school students after all.

In this regard, Xiao Yao, who was reborn with the knowledge of his previous life, has no advantage over other math geniuses. Facing those young geniuses selected from across the country, Xiao Yao's talent and ability in mathematical thinking and logic are not as good as them. Although he was called a genius and an evildoer since he was a child, Xiao Yao is not a mathematics genius in both his previous life and this life. When a group of real math geniuses, they just knelt down in the end.

In the three in-class tests, among the 16-member winter camp student team, Xiao Yao's performance has never been in the top ten. This result made Xiao Yao regret coming to this winter camp.

But since it's here, it's not Xiao Yao's style to quit halfway. So he could only comfort himself by saying that at most it was the result of not being selected for the national team of the International Mathematical Olympiad. In order to avoid the cold winter in the north, feel the warmth in the winter in the south.

Poor test results and little hope of being selected for the national team alone are not all the blows that Xiao Yao has suffered from his biological peers.

In essence, this mathematics winter camp is a training camp for the selection of members of the National Mathematical Olympiad Team representing the country to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Since it is a training camp, it is impossible for the students to have as much freedom as traveling.

The location of this winter camp is in a middle school with first-class facilities in QH City. Since it happened to be during the holiday, all the teachers and students participating in the winter camp lived in the teacher's dormitory and student dormitory of this school. The school canteen is ready-made, and there is a convenience store in the school. In this case, even if you don’t leave the school gate for a month, you can live on.

Although the winter camp did not formulate a rule that students are not allowed to leave the school gate for a month, the management is still very strict compared to ordinary middle schools, at least it is strictly forbidden to go out at night. The dormitory lights are turned off at 11:00 p.m., and the school gate is closed and locked at 9:00 p.m.

High school students are a group of young people between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. They are already at an energetic age, and none of the top math talents selected from across the country are hard-educated. Although doing and lecturing during the day consume a lot of brain cells, they are still very energetic at night.

They could go out for a stroll earlier in the evening, but the rule of closing at nine o’clock made them have to come back before nine o’clock, the lights were turned off at eleven o’clock, and there was a full two-hour break in between, so someone thought about it. Le: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yao lived in a four-person dormitory during the winter camp, with three roommates in the same room. After a few days, Xiao Yao found that these three guys didn't look down on others just because they were math geniuses, and they got along very well. As the time spent together grew longer, the four of them became more and more acquainted.

This situation reminded Xiao Yao of the happy time he had with his roommates in the university dormitory when he was in college in his previous life. Therefore, Xiao Yao brought over the activities that he and his roommates had the most in the dormitory when they were in college. Then, Xiao Yao had a tragedy.

Xiao Yao in his previous life was around 2000 when he was in college. At that time, personal computers were not so popular, far from reaching the level of one for everyone. Only two of the four people in the dormitory have computers, and there are not so many online games, so the most common activity in the dormitory is playing cards. At that time, roommates did not gamble. They played "Eighty Points", which is also called "Double Promotion" in some places. It is a random combination of two pairs. Which team will pass the level from "2" to "A" first, The two people in the other team are responsible for the hygiene of the dormitory the next day.

Xiao Yao thinks that he was good at playing cards in his previous life, and his mind is better after being reborn in this life. Logically speaking, he should be able to abuse three guys in the same room who are better than himself in test scores. Unexpectedly, after organizing the other three guys in the dormitory to play cards together, Xiao Yao was hit even harder.

"Damn! Xiao Yao, why don't you show a pair of spades in your hand? What kind of leaflet are you publishing?" Yu Gang, sitting opposite Xiao Yao, complained: "I still have 20 points of spades in my hand. If you sell them, We've got enough points to beat them down."

"This..." Xiao Yao looked at the pair of 9s of spades in his hands, a little speechless.

"Hello!" Yan Ke and Chen Jiwei, who sat Xiao Yao up and down the house, Xiao Yao and Yu Gang's opponents, yelled together.

Chen Jiwei said to Gang: "This game is not over yet, you have explained all the cards, how will you play later?"

"Are you kidding?" Yu Gang rolled his eyes, "One of you has all the hands, and the other has a handful of hearts, so we won't be able to make a move behind us, and we have no chance to grab points. "Speaking, Yu Gang simply threw the cards in his hand in the middle, and sighed: "It's only forty-five points, you can play K now."

"Okay." Chen Jiwei and Yan Ke also threw the cards in their hands into the pile. Yan Ke comforted Yu Gang with a smile and said: "The next round will be K, the master will not be easy to play, you still have a chance."

The three of them talked non-stop over there, but Xiao Yao was still holding the cards in his hand and still counting in his mind. In terms of memory, none of the three can compare to him. Now he can even tell exactly what cards everyone played in the last round, but only five or six hands were played in this round, and Xiao Yao is still judging the situation of the cards. How do the three of them know whose hand it is? What cards are there?

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Throw away the cards in your hand so you can shuffle them." Yu Gang looked at Xiao Yao who was still holding the cards in a daze and said.

"Xiao Yao is counting our cards. It's not even ten o'clock now, why are you in a hurry, let him count slowly. To treat the weak, one needs to be sympathetic and patient." Yan Ke said with a smile.

"Next time you partner with Xiao Yao, let's see if you are in a hurry! Standing and talking will not hurt your back." Yu Gang gave Yan Ke a sideways look.

"Hey, I said you are all enough. Does it make me feel so good?" Xiao Yao finally couldn't help but get mad.

"Of course," the three of them smiled happily when they saw that Xiao Yao was said to be in a hurry. Chen Jiwei said: "Who made you a big star? You are also acting, singing, and now you are mixed in our Mathematical Olympiad winter camp. If we can't beat you often and stand in front of you, we will think we are Idiot."

"Ling Yunzhi" has only been broadcast for more than half a year, and the "Flying Award" has received nine nominations and has been intensively reported by the entertainment media for a while, so Xiao Yao was recognized by everyone as soon as he entered the winter camp. However, the math geniuses who can enter the winter camp are also top-notch, with their own pride and reserve, and there will definitely be no brain-dead fans, and even if there are fans of Xiao Yao, they will not show it clearly.

After being in contact with Xiao Yao for a while, everyone found that Xiao Yao didn't have any celebrity pretensions, and was completely like an ordinary middle school student who came to participate in the winter camp training. After that, Xiao Yao's star status became a great tool for everyone to tease him.

"Besides singing and acting, don't you know that I also learned martial arts?" Xiao Yao threw away the poker cards in his hand, made a fist with his left hand, pressed the knuckles of his left hand with his right hand, and heard a burst of joint friction crackle.

"A gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands!" The three of them jumped up in shock when they saw it. In terms of fighting, the three of them together are no match for Xiao Yao alone.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was sitting still, Yan Ke boldly sat back on his seat and asked cautiously, "Xiao Yao, are you still fighting?"

"Playing cards or you?" Xiao Yao gave him a sideways look.

"Of course it's playing cards." Yan Ke immediately said, "Playing cards requires brains, exciting and fun. Playing us is not challenging at all, not fun."

"Pfft~" Xiao Yao finally laughed uncontrollably, and then straightened his face and said: "I don't believe it, I can't even win once in a month?"

three minutes later...

"Xiao Yao, you idiot!" Yu Gang yelled again, "You know that I don't have any hearts, why don't you give out hearts? I have twenty-five points in my master, and I can't get them now."

"You have had hearts before, but Zhang has 9 hearts. How did I know you didn't have any hearts?" Xiao Yao retorted weakly.

"Look? You don't know how to count?" Yu Gang raised his hand and patted his forehead.

"I..." Xiao Yao gritted his teeth in his heart, "I can bear..."

Before the "Flying Award", Xiao Yao didn't post on Weibo, but after the "Flying Award"?

While countless fans were waiting for Xiao Yao to post photos of the trophy on Weibo, Xiao Yao's Weibo was finally updated. A new Weibo post made everyone puzzled by this sentence: "Don't play cards with the top math!"
