Chapter 128 The game begins
Once things are on the agenda, they happen very quickly. In the blink of an eye, this highly anticipated exchange meeting between Chinese universities was held at the Imperial University.
Many teachers and students from other places came here. Although they could not compete with the giants in the capital, they still wanted to fight for their schools. If they could break into the top 50, it would be worth the trip!
As Yun Yao sat on the bus looking at the familiar scenery, a sense of disgust rose from the bottom of her heart.
Having lived in a tranquil and peaceful place for a long time, looking at this Imperial University, all I see is noise and deceit, which truly disgraces its reputation as the premier university.
I have no idea what possessed me to write a plaque for Imperial University! Tsk, how naive I was!
Sitting next to Yun Yao, Ge Xiaoxiao noticed that she was in a daze and nudged her arm.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yun Yao snapped out of her daze and shook her head.
"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that Imperial University and I were incompatible," Yun Yao said casually.
Looking at Ge Xiaoxiao again, she nodded very seriously.
"I think so."
Yun Yao glanced at her and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
To the girls behind them, this warm and harmonious scene seemed like pure smugness!
Sitting behind them was Cai Tongxin, the student representing Beijing Normal University in the competition. Before Yun Yao arrived, she was the university's recognized beauty and academic star.
After Yun Yao arrived, she was completely overshadowed, so it's understandable that she felt resentful.
Hmph, so what if he's a genius in archaeology? He can only be a substitute player!
Today, she's going to show everyone that Cai Tongxin is the real genius! Yun Yao is nothing but a defeated opponent!
Yun Yao was unaware that she was being regarded as a thorn in someone's side, but even if she did, she wouldn't care.
There are plenty of people who can't stand her, who does she think she is?
As soon as they got off the bus, they saw the Imperial University's welcoming team walking towards them.
Luo Yu smiled and stepped forward, but the team led by Gu Feng passed by him, leaving Luo Yu standing there dumbfounded.
Luo Yu awkwardly withdrew his hand, then turned around to see Gu Feng greeting other schools with a beaming smile.
"Principal, they've gone too far!" Jian Ning was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Feng's behavior.
But Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Respect is something you earn yourself."
After saying that, Luo Yu left with his hands behind his back, his back view... extremely lonely.
Standing beside Yun Yao, Ge Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak up for Luo Yu.
"I really don't know what Imperial University is so arrogant about. Aren't they afraid that treating people like this will eventually come back to haunt them!"
Yun Yao remained silent, watching Luo Yu's departing figure with an inscrutable expression.
"Where did the person who represented the school in the competition go?" Ge Xiaoxiao looked around but couldn't find Cai Tongxin.
"He probably went to the restroom," Jian Ning replied.
Meanwhile, Cai Tongxin was in a corner, holding a bank card in her hand, looking at the person opposite her with a face full of gratitude.
"You should know what to do, right?"
"I know, I know, don't worry, I definitely won't let you down." Cai Tongxin nodded and bowed, her expression obsequious.
"Okay, go ahead, but don't arouse suspicion."
It was ten minutes later when Yun Yao and the others saw Cai Tongxin again.
Luo Yu is trying to calm Cai Tongxin down, telling her not to be nervous and to just do her best.
Other students from Peking University gathered around them, and he comforted Cai Tongxin with words of comfort.
Only Yun Yao and Ge Xiaoxiao sat quietly in their seats, their expressions unchanged.
"Goddess, do you think we'll win?" Ge Xiaoxiao leaned close to Yun Yao's ear and whispered.
"Yes." Yun Yao, who was pretending to doze off with her eyes closed, replied without thinking.
"Everyone here today is a prominent figure from their respective universities. Although Cai Tongxin is quite capable, I feel she's a bit too arrogant. Pride comes before a fall. Goddess, you're going to lose this time. How could you believe she would win?" Ge Xiaoxiao teased.
Yun Yao raised her beautiful eyes, full of interest.
“I’m not saying she will win, I’m saying she will win the Capital Tournament.” Yun Yao’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough to stir up waves in Ge Xiaoxiao’s heart.
How could she forget that the goddess is a substitute player? Isn't that like holding an ace in her hand?
With that in mind, Ge Xiaoxiao no longer found today's exchange meeting boring.
……
The stadium, which can hold 3,000 people, was packed. Apart from people from other schools, the majority of the attendees were students and faculty from Imperial University. They cheered in the stands, shouting the words "Imperial University," as if Imperial University had already won the day.
This undoubtedly put immense pressure on the contestants from other schools, who were all extremely nervous while waiting in the wings.
Yun Yao, as a substitute, also appeared in the waiting area.
With a quick glance, she spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
It turns out that the contestant from Imperial University was Yun Xinru.
Putting everything else aside, Yun Xinru is indeed very outstanding, but she's just... not very bright, and she always seems to be getting into her own little schemes.
No, just say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.
"Sister, I didn't expect to run into you here! Are you a substitute from Beijing Normal University?" Yun Xinru's voice was loud, as if she wanted the whole world to hear it.
"You have a problem with that?" Yun Yao was too lazy to play along with her.
Yun Xinru seemed surprised that Yun Yao would be so disrespectful to her. With so many people watching, she couldn't say anything more and just looked aggrieved.
Yun Yao glanced at her sideways and couldn't help but sneer.
Yun Xinru is truly wasting her talent if she weren't an actress.
"You're mentally ill, you need treatment." Yun Yao walked right past her with her hands in her pockets.
Yun Xinru stood there, staring at Yun Yao's retreating figure, her teeth clenched in hatred.
Yun Yao! You bitch!
Hmph, let's see how long you can stay arrogant. Today I'll make you lose face in front of so many people!
"All participants, please get ready, the exchange meeting is about to begin!" The host's voice echoed throughout the stadium.
Yun Yao found a seat and watched as the team of up to three hundred people passed by her, taking their places in an orderly fashion.
Among them were many promising talents. Yun Yao, like a seasoned old woman, sat in the audience, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking her head.
"Upholding the principle of prioritizing education, we gather here today not only to showcase the talents of outstanding students, but also to evaluate the educational achievements of various universities over the past year. We eagerly await to see who will claim the title of top university..."
The host was rambling on, so Yun Yao closed her eyes and began to meditate.
Instead of wasting this time, she might as well rummage through her treasures and see if there's a way to transfer the spell back.
"For the first round, we'll be solving this physics problem. You have ten minutes!" As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone in the room picked up their pens, and the sound of pens rustling filled the air.
However, only one person remained still.
"Principal, why isn't Cai Tongxin moving? Isn't she good at physics?" Ge Xiaoxiao was somewhat dissatisfied with Cai Tongxin, who was standing there in a daze.
Luo Yu didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't let others boost their morale and diminish his own.
"It must be because this question was too easy. Cai Tongxin saw the key point at a glance. It was...it was them!" Luo Yu's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat, and he quickly wiped them away after saying that.
Ge Xiaoxiao: "..."
This excuse is rather low-level, Principal, keep making things up.
