Seeing his name as top 2, just behind Shi Yi, Wu Wenxin was quite thrilled.
"We're neck and neck, haha!" Sitting on the bench, looking at Shi Yi beside him, he said happily.
"Calm down, just calm down a bit." But Wu Wenxin's sudden excitement made Shi Yi's heart tighten, and then he quickly reminded her, "Take a deep breath."
"Oh... okay." Wu Wenxin placed a hand on his chest, trying to soothe himself.
Then, looking at his sudoku that was only about halfway completed, he said with some admiration, "You're still so amazing, finishing in just three minutes, that's outrageous."
The total number of blank spots was fifty, which amounts to less than four seconds, just over three seconds per number written down.
And Shi Yi hardly did any drafting, just looking for a few seconds before filling in a number, as if he were an unfeeling stuffing machine.
"I haven't played in a while, my hands are a bit rusty. My speed is still a bit slow."
