Chapter 878: God Gu Mang!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Professor Xue was stunned to see Ming Ni walking up to the stage. “They’re sending Ming Ni up in the third match? Then who are they sending for the fourth match?”

Yang Tianming could guess the M University professor’s plan. Given Gu Mang’s capabilities, they would lose no matter who they sent to compete against her, so they might as well try to win the third match. At least they had a chance of winning against Shen Qianzi.

Gu Mang lazily sat back in her seat with her eyes closed. Nobody could tell whether she was truly sleeping or not though.

Gu Si leaned forward and pulled the back of her chair, tutting as he watched the stage. “Sis, look how frightening you were. They already know that they’re going to lose to you.”

His voice sounded especially arrogant, which made Yang Tianming and the rest of the team’s lips twitch.

Gu Mang remained motionless as if she had truly fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, a countdown to 15 seconds appeared on the big screen, along with Capital University’s first question.

[State the most effective mechanism for increasing heat production in the body.]

Qiao You read the question. “State the most effective mechanism for increasing heat production in the body. Wasn’t it tested in the first match? Shivering thermogenesis and non-shivering thermogenesis.”

“Read it carefully. The question asks for the most effective mechanism. There’s only one answer.”

We’ve never learned the difference between the two mechanisms. We’re stuck already? Qiao You froze before asking, “Which is the answer?”

Chen Xu was not sure either, so he could not answer her question. There were 10 seconds left on the timer, yet they had yet to answer.

Yang Tianming’s heart thumped as an ominous feeling overcame him.

Gu Si narrowed his eyes. “What’s there to think about? Isn’t the answer shivering thermogenesis? It’s so simple.”

The rest of the team turned their heads stiffly in his direction as they gawked at him in shock. This boy…

Even Yang Tianming tore his eyes away from the competition to look at Gu Si.

Meanwhile, Shen Qianzi could not make up her mind between the two mechanisms. She eventually answered ‘non-shivering thermogenesis’ at the very last second.

The AI system immediately beeped to indicate that it was the wrong answer.

That made Shen Qianzi panick right away.

It was Ming Ni’s turn to answer the next question. She took only a few seconds to think before answering it. It was the correct answer.

Shen Qianzi squeezed her fingers, almost collapsing on stage out of anxiety.

The questions got harder and harder as they progressed. Both Shen Qianzi and Ming Ni experienced some difficulty answering. Still, Shen Qianzi got more questions wrong.

By the end of the third match, everyone knew who the winner was even without the organizers announcing the results. Capital University had undoubtedly lost the match.

Shen Qianzi’s face looked a little pale as she quietly returned to her seat. All she was thinking about was how embarrassing it was to lose 2 matches in a row.

Qiao You was a little upset with Shen Qianzi, so she did not comfort her this time. After hearing all that big talk, I thought it’d be a guaranteed win for us, but we lost both matches thanks to her!

Yang Tianming comforted Shen Qianzi as usual. “There’s one more match to go. We haven’t lost yet.”

Shen Qianzi’s eyes drooped as she squeezed her fingers tightly. I never expected to lose. Plus, Leng Xuan gave me so many resources…

The third match soon concluded.

After a short break, the MC announced the results. Shen Qianzi and Ming Ni scored similarly, but a loss was a loss even if it was just by one mark.

The last match determined for many teams whether they would advance to the next round, so things became even more tense.

When it was Capital University’s turn to compete with M University again, Huo Zhi saw Gu Mang open her eyes and get up to walk to the stage.

Gu Mang’s opponent was a male student whose capability was just a little shy of Ming Ni’s. When Gu Mang went on stage, all eyes were on her as if she were a movie star.

When the third match began, everyone in the audience heard Gu Mang answer the questions in a clear, concise, and logical manner. She did not even require time to think. It took her five seconds to answer and she got everything correct.

The male student from M University answered a few questions wrongly. His speed, in particular, was by no means comparable to Gu Mang’s.

The thin figure in black left a deep impression on many people.

Capital University won the fourth match.

Even though Shen Qianzi had lost two matches, their final average score still exceeded M University’s by a wide margin.

They thus advanced to the final round in an arrogant fashion.

When Old Master Gu heard the news, his hand that was holding a small brush stiffened for a moment and he turned his head around. “She scored full marks, which pushed everyone else’s scores down?”

“Yes,” answered the butler respectfully. “I heard the average score was only sixty-odd when the usual score is around ninety.”

Old Master Gu narrowed his eyes at that.

“There’s more shocking news. I heard that Fei Luo sent the nine formulas Young Lady wrote during the competition to the medical association for approval. Once they’re approved, they’ll officially be included in all medical textbooks.” The butler then told him how Gu Mang proved her formulas.

“I’ve underestimated her. Looks like that son of mine taught her a thing or two.” Old Master Gu laughed and put down his brush. With his hands behind his back, he left the ancestral hall.

The butler followed him closely. “There’s a very high chance that the Young Lady will place first in the individual category.”

“We’ll see.” Old Master Gu looked at the dark, cloudy sky outside the window. “Things are unlikely to go so smoothly during the final round.”

Some people won’t just watch and do nothing.

Having worked for Old Master Gu for many years, the butler instantly understood what he meant.

“Get Huo Zhi to keep an eye on Gu Si,” ordered Old Master Gu.

“Yes,” replied the butler.
