“Sister Mang, look. He’s the most handsome guy on H University’s team. He is only 19 years old, but his theses have been featured in

  twice. In this entire world, there is no other 19-year-old that is more accomplished than him! Elder Yu and the rest were featured once and got their own columns later on.”


  “And the curly-haired girl from M University. She is 20 years old and the highest-ranking member of Country K’s medical association. She has participated in several important medical research projects. She was a member of the Middle East Vaccine Research Team at the age of seventeen!”


  “What the f*ck! They are all impressive figures!”


  Qin Yaozhi looked as if she just had an eye-opening experience. Everyone here were all rising talents in the medical field!

  Without looking up, Gu Mang hummed in acknowledgment as she did not want to leave Qin Yaozhi hanging. After replying to Lu Chengzhou’s messages, she looked up.

  The people who were specially assigned to receive them led everyone to a row of buses not far away. There were more than 20 buses parked off to the side.

  Four teams were assigned to each bus. After getting on the bus, the teams greeted each other and introduced themselves. The buses quickly became bustling with noise and excitement.

  H University’s team was seated in front of Capital University’s team. On every team there was one especially outstanding person who was the team’s unofficial face. They were usually the best students at their schools.

  Before coming most participants looked through the information available on the competition. Most people were classified as nobodies so nobody paid attention to them. Everyone was most interested in the cream of the crop. They wanted to see how tight the competition could get.

  They sized up the competition to see if their opponents would live up to their reputations.

  Gu Mang was already famous due to her score on the joint exams. As well as her decision to turn down H and M Universities to attend Capital University instead.

  A blue-eyed boy from H University turned in his seat and looked over its back and asked softly, “Can I ask where Gu Mang is?”


  Shen Qianzi pursed her lips and answered politely, “She is sitting in the last row, on the right closest to the window.”


  The blue-eyed guy craned his neck and peered towards the back. Sitting languidly, Gu Mang had nestled into her seat. The brim of her cap was low over her face and she was wearing a pair of earphones. She seemed to be asleep.

  All that could be seen was her refined and attractive jawline.

  She had a cold aura. She also gave off the defiant aura of a bad student but everyone here were the most outstanding students of their respective schools.

  Everyone was chatting zealously but only Gu Mang acted cold and distant.

  The blue-eyed boy asked curiously, “Why is she not talking to the rest of us?”


  How could she sleep when it was her first time visiting Jijing Island?!

  “She’s probably not in the mood,” Qiao You glanced at Gu Mang as she said nonchalantly with a smile.

  The blue-eyed boy was confused. “Huh?”


  She must be kidding. How could she not be excited when she was on Jijing Island for the competition?

  Qiao You only smiled and remained silent.

  She would be thrown under the limelight with more than a thousand people soon. Who would not be excited?

  Shen Qianzi updated Master Bi as the buses pulled out of the parking lot.

  On Jijing Island, there were many high-tech and futuristic looking buildings. They were minimalistic, cold, and unapproachable.

  The style was unique.

  Throughout the journey, everyone admired the scenery and infrastructures. Soon, they reached the hotel that the competition organizer had prepared for them.

  Every team had a private suite.

  It was still afternoon, so everyone had half a day off for leisure activities.

  They would draw lots tomorrow morning with the competition officially starting in the afternoon.

  After placing her luggage in the room, Shen Qianzi said to Yang Tianming, “Professor Yang, I need to go out for a while later.”


  Yang Tianming knew that Shen Qianzi had a close relationship with the Bi family on Jijing Island, so he did not stop her.

  He only reminded her, “Take care of yourself.”


  Shen Qianzi smiled. “Okay, Professor.”


  The moment Gu Mang arrived at the hotel, she took a shower. Thereafter, she gamed with Qin Yaozhi as they leaned lazily on the headrest of the bed.

  “Sister Mang, do you want to go out and take a walk in the afternoon?” Since they were already here, they could still treat the trip as a holiday if they did not do well in the competition.

  “It’s too hot. I’m not going,” said Gu Mang as she controlled her game character.

  Qin Yaozhi glanced at the blazing sun outside. “Forget it. Let’s play games with the air conditioner on.”


  Just then, a call notification popped up on Gu Mang’s screen. She declined the call to focus on the game.

  After her game ended, she finally went back to take a look at who had called her. She returned the call.

  Elder Bai spoke very courteously when he picked up the call. “Miss.”


  Gu Mang sounded rather nonchalant. “Yes?”


  Elder Bai said, “Old Master heard that you have come to Jijing Island and wants to meet you.”


  The first person they called.

  Gu Mang hummed. “Let’s meet at a place that is not crowded. Send the address to me.”
