Chapter 1038 Champion!
The competition had yet to begin, but both sides were already at each other's throats.
Elder Xiao watched the scene unfold with a satisfied nod. This was exactly how it should be—keeping a tight lid on their emotions would fuel their competitive spirit and push them to give their best in the match.
Qin Er didn't need much more to motivate him; the prize money for the champion was already enough to drive him.
After the host finished explaining the rules, the countdown ended, and the competition began. The questions appeared on the screen, and many spectators below, all deeply interested in mathematics, had brought paper and pen, intending to solve the problems along with the contestants.
However, before the spectators could even finish reading the first question, the screen flickered, and someone had already submitted the correct answer.
The real-time rankings of the contestants appeared on the side of the screen.
Qin Er's name had already earned one point.
As expected, he was the first-place finisher in the preliminary rounds!
The audience was in awe when they saw this, but before they could fully comprehend what had happened, the second question was already gone—solved by Zhouzhou.
Zhouzhou was focused on the problem, her hands moving swiftly across the paper.
Seeing this, Brian Junior clenched his teeth. He wasn't going to let her take the lead without a fight. He quickly solved the question himself, and couldn't help but glance smugly at Zhouzhou.
But Zhouzhou didn't even look at him, remaining entirely focused on her work. A fool would get distracted at a time like this.
Time was money.
She was determined to win the championship!
Brother Dafu had solved problems this fast; if she lagged behind even by one step, she'd miss out on a lot of money.
Despite calling each other "Dafu" and "Caicai" affectionately in their usual banter, when it came to money, their true nature fully emerged.
This was also Qin Er's principle—brother or sister, the competition was always about skill, with no exceptions.
As Brian Junior lifted his gaze to look at Zhouzhou, Zhouzhou had already completed another problem. Her name floated to the top of the rankings.
Brian Junior, realizing he couldn't afford any more distractions, refocused and threw himself into solving the next problem.
The three of them raced against each other, with their rankings changing in real-time. The spectators could hardly believe their eyes.
Meanwhile, at the Qin family home, Grandma Qin had set her alarm, and as soon as it went off, she pulled Qin Lie over to help her find the live stream.
Qin Lie hadn't been sleeping, as he had also planned to watch.
After some quick discussion, the entire family ended up in the viewing room, watching the competition on a large screen. Zhouzhou soon appeared.
As soon as Grandma Qin saw her granddaughter, a smile appeared on her face.
"Ah! If it weren't so late, I'd call my old friends over to watch with me!" she exclaimed.
Dafu and Caicai were furious.
Their pens flew across their papers as they solved the final problem, and the audience watched the countdown in tense anticipation.
Brian Junior glanced at his own score and, having given up on solving any more problems, leaned back to watch the final moments.
After all, he was already well ahead of fourth place. Even if he somehow moved up, third place didn't matter to him.
He was more interested in who would claim the championship between Zhouzhou and Qin Er.
Finally, Zhouzhou's hand moved to the answer box. Qin Er's hand also reached out...
Ding!
The competition was over.
Everyone's eyes turned to the big screen.
Zhouzhou and Qin Er both looked up nervously.
Under the intense gaze of the audience, Zhouzhou's score flashed, and her name leapt to first place.
Champion!
"Ahhhhhhh!" The entire room erupted in cheers.
Zhouzhou was the youngest champion in the history of the competition.
She blinked, realizing what had just happened, and then her face broke into a grin. Her mouth stretched so wide it almost reached her ears.
The money was in her hands!
Qin Er let out a long sigh of relief, giving Zhouzhou a thumbs-up. "Impressive."
Luckily, Zhouzhou was younger and had been born a few years later. If she had competed with him earlier, he would have lost out on a lot of money.
At least he would be promoted to middle school soon, and wouldn't have to face Zhouzhou in the elementary division anymore.
With that thought, Qin Er breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhouzhou hugged him, planting a big kiss on his cheek. "Brother Dafu, we're rich!"
Qin Er smiled too. As long as the money ended up in their family's hands, he was happy.
Though a bit disappointed that he didn't win, it was much better that Zhouzhou took the title rather than anyone else.
Besides, second place still came with 200,000 euros—a good sum.
Nearby, Brian Junior heard their conversation, and his lips twitched.
Why was it that Zhouzhou always had the strangest priorities?
