Chapter 305: Isn't it just the national competition again?
As a genius in all subjects and a perfect scorer in English, Li Yan is everyone's hope for communication.

But after all, he is only in the second grade of junior high school, and I don’t know how his oral English level is.

The looks from the three teammates were very clear, so Li Yan replied:

"I haven't learned other languages ​​to the point where I can communicate verbally, so I can only speak English."

"I can only..." Lai Yining covered his head, "I gradually understand the pain of fellow student Chen Fan."

"We should be ashamed of our own lack of ability." He Zixiang showed an invincible upright face.

"So what other languages ​​are you learning?"

“The mainstream ones are all learning it.”

"All……?"

"I'll take a look when I have time." Of course, it was difficult for Li Yan to explain that his purpose was to find a breakthrough in the system. He was thinking about improving other language skills to a certain level to see if they could be placed on par with the third-level skill "English", or if they could be integrated into a second-level skill.

Teacher Liu couldn't help but let out a "tsk" when he heard this.

It seems that I am still not immune to pretending.

1月10日到达滑铁卢大学；11日上午开幕式，下午试机；12日竞赛日第一天；13日参观游玩并有各种体育比赛，晚上还有交流会；14日竞赛日第二天；15日参观尼亚加拉大瀑布与下午茶交流；16日闭幕式。

The pace is exactly the same as the national competition... except there is no solution report.

But I heard that in this competition, you can check the score directly after submitting the question, which is more exciting than knowing the score after the national competition.

However, we still have to wait until the closing ceremony to know the rankings, after all, communication in international competitions is still relatively inconvenient.

It's impossible to ask everyone in the world what your highest score is, right?

In order to adjust to the jet lag, Li Yan and his group will arrive in Canada two or three days in advance.

The flight took thirteen hours and the time difference was exactly twelve hours, so it was still a wonderful experience.

We set off during the day and flew for more than ten hours but it was still daytime, so the tour leader suggested that everyone have a good sleep on the plane.

Toronto, Canada.

When you first arrive in another city, you will feel a strong sense of novelty, let alone a foreign country.

When we got here, the tour leader changed the person to a young man who was holding up a sign in Chinese that read "I'm Here" at the airport.

He graduated from Huaxia University of Science and Technology and came to Waterloo for further studies - the computer science department of the University of Waterloo is among the best in the world.

Coincidentally, his surname is also Liu, so everyone calls him Teacher Liu.

Teacher Liu was particularly interested in Li Yan, and seven out of ten sentences they talked about were about Li Yan.

"You are the first junior high school contestant. Everyone here is very interested in you."

Everyone was very excited, looking around, and all the tiredness from the journey was swept away.

Except Li Yan.

He was certainly not tired, on the contrary, he was in very good physical condition.

It should be that the system's "physical health" skill came into play again. I clearly had enough sleep before boarding the plane, but I ended up feeling inexplicably sleepy on the plane. I didn't even have the mood to chat, and I slept for most of the more than ten hours.

I was completely awake as soon as I got off the plane.

In other words, he had already adjusted back to the time difference.

But he wasn't really excited.

The mechanism is exactly the same as the national competition, nothing new.

Moreover, during the days of the competition in Beijing, the main activities were all in the school. It was said that we were there to experience the local customs and culture, but in fact it was just a cursory sightseeing.

The biggest feature of Canada is its spaciousness.

Many other feelings have their roots here.

Clean, wide roads, beautiful natural scenery, big and beautiful houses...

All because it is spacious enough.

Therefore, the most important sense of freshness actually comes from the combination of urban and rural feelings.

The city’s facilities and buildings are very modern, but its spacious state is very similar to that of a rural area.

Apart from these, it’s just a matter of taking the exam in a different place.

This is just the national competition all over again.

And Lai Yining said, "Wow, the people here speak good English."

Hmm... foreigners are everywhere. No, in this place, they are the ones with black eyes, black hair and yellow skin.

This time you don’t have to find a hotel to stay in. The University of Waterloo has enough dormitories so you can get a feel for Canadian life.

"How do you feel about school?" asked Teacher Liu.

"It's still the same feeling, spacious and large in area." Li Yan replied.

The school buildings are not tall and their design is very modern, which left a deep impression on Li Yan.

It would have been great if she had been here when she was studying architecture in her previous life. After all, what she saw from books and photos is very different from what she experienced in person - this was something Li Yan had a deep understanding of when she went to Shanghai for an internship in urban cognition in her previous life.

As for the lawns all over the school, the groves where squirrels could be seen, and the river where ducks were swimming, he didn't feel much about it.

The others enjoyed it very much and stood by the river playing with the ducks for a long time.

The three excited teammates couldn't bear it anymore when they returned to the dormitory. They were so sleepy that they couldn't even open their eyes.

As a result, it was lunch time after I had been lying down for less than half an hour...

Canadian food is the local version of Colonel Ken and Uncle Mac, with baked potatoes, eggs, bacon and milk for breakfast, and hamburgers and French fries for lunch and dinner.

The taste is pretty good. The young people enjoyed the meal very much. They now eat Western food in restaurants every day.

But after a few days they will start to miss the fruits and vegetables that they never eat at home.

At night, which was daytime in Beijing, Li Yan's three roommates who had just gotten through their sleepy period stared at each other.

"I was so sleepy a few hours ago that I almost fell asleep. Why are you so excited now?" Deng Yudi asked.

"I think it has something to do with the extremely sweet cake for afternoon tea." He Zixiang replied.

"I ate a pie and I still feel sticky now," Lai Yining agreed.

"I'm so scared. If I can't sleep tonight, I won't sleep for a long time." Deng Yudi's voice was shaking. "There shouldn't be any activities tomorrow morning to make up for the sleep, right?"

"But you sleep in the daytime. How can you get used to this rhythm and take the exam?" Lai Yining yawned, "Damn, I'm sleepy."

"Where is God Yan? Why isn't he speaking?" He Zixiang glanced at Li Yan's bed.

Li Yan slept very soundly.

"No way, this guy doesn't even have jet lag?" Lai Yining was shocked.

During the preparation period before the exam, everyone was adjusting their state and no large-scale exchange activities were arranged between teams from different countries.

Some contestants from countries with smaller time differences did not arrive until the afternoon of the previous day.

Basically, the frequency of communication is determined by the accommodation relationship.

Next to the Chinese team is the Sakura Country. The two sides are quite friendly, and the team members often communicate and give each other small gifts.

The players from the Sakura Country were very curious about Li Yan, a "tall and handsome" junior high school student. The Chinese team was also surprised that there was an Sakura girl on the opposite side.

It was just that Sakura English was really confusing to listen to, so Li Yan simply communicated in simple Japanese, which made the Sakura girl from the next dormitory building have stars in her eyes.

The opening ceremony was not as exciting as the national competition. The opening ceremony lasted two and a half minutes, and included a 40-minute promotional video of Canada and the University of Waterloo, and a tall, thin white professor was invited to give a paper presentation...

The main thing was that this person had an accent that was beyond the scope of his knowledge, and the microphone was sometimes far away and sometimes near, so it was more difficult to understand him than to do the final question, so everyone treated it as a training for concentration.

Everything went smoothly during the test drive in the afternoon, and everything depended on the main race starting the next day.

That night, everyone decided not to do any review and received recognition from the neighboring Sakura team "Siguoyi".

Because they also thought that there was no point in reviewing at this time, the cherry blossom girl gave Li Yan a prayer sign.

But Li Yanwan refused.

"I didn't expect that Sakura's group of students have such a good attitude." Lai Yining chatted casually.

"So we have to defeat them with our results." Li Yan continued.

"I heard they are quite strong, and the Meliji are also very strong." Deng Yudi said.

"So, crush them." Li Yan gave a firm look.

"This... doesn't have any logical connection, right?" He Zixiang asked.

"What logical relationship is there? That's the Sakura Country and the United States, and they're going to kill each other without any discussion." Li Yan responded very quickly.

"Okay, defeat them." Deng Yudi nodded.

"Crush them!" He Zixiang was also very determined.

"Kill them all!" Lai Yining shouted.
