Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ding Xing cheered from the side, his aura even stronger now. “Aunt, you can do it! You’ll definitely win!”
“It’s over. It’s all over. This is a bad start!”
Lanca Academy’s morale plummeted. Only Sheng Yang calmly glanced at the note in her hand. “The 15th.”
A man in his early 30s walked over. He had a square face and was dressed appropriately. He clearly saw the note in Sheng Yang’s hand and patted his chest as if he had won the first prize. “That’s… good. I’m the 16th.”
Ding Xing, who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly said in a strange tone, “Teacher Sheng, you’re so lucky. You drew Wan Yong, who’s ranked last in the research inst.i.tute this year.”
“She’s indeed lucky. I’m so envious.” A teacher from the academy at the side had a pained expression. The person he was facing was the second-in-command of the research inst.i.tute, second only to Ding Lan. He was known as the ‘Mechanical Demon’. Although his talent was not as good as Ding Lan’s, he was hard-working enough. He did not have a family and lived in the research inst.i.tute. He was accompanied by machinery 24 hours a day. How could he compare to such a person?
Sheng Yang knew the teacher from the academy. In fact, he had secretly sent her a message today, telling her the time and place of the compet.i.tion. He said that he was in a difficult position too. He didn’t want to offend anyone, but he was afraid that he would feel guilty.
Sheng Yang had easily cracked his phone number, so she knew it was him.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said to him, “Can I swap with you?”
The teacher glanced at Sheng Yang suspiciously, then pointed at her and said in enlightenment, “Miss Sheng, are you trying to use a strategic tactic?”
Miss Sheng would lose anyway. If she went against a top contender, the research inst.i.tute would suffer a huge loss.
If this was the case, the two matches that they would definitely lose would suddenly become one win and one loss. The worst situation would more or less turn for the better.
Mr. Yu looked at her and said slowly, “In principle, you can’t. After all, it’s not fair. Moreover, it’ll be very chaotic if you swap. It’ll lose the meaning of drawing lots. But there was a rule that was abolished in the past. You’re in the eighth group. If you can have the best results among the first seven groups, you can swap.”
“…”
Everyone heard this. That wasn’t right.
The strongest contender, Ding Lan, was in the first seven groups. If Sheng Yang could defeat Ding Lan, what difference would it make if she still made a swap?
Moreover, this was impossible. It was equivalent to an obvious rejection. No wonder the rule was abolished.
The teacher was about to wave his hand and say ‘no need’ when Sheng Yang agreed. Her eyes were filled with persistence. In everyone’s eyes, she was a little naive.
However, her appearance was pure and innocent. She gave off the feeling of a pure fairy.
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Are you trying to hit a rock with an egg?”
“She’s new here. She doesn’t know how strong Team Leader Ding is yet. She doesn’t know how terrifying the strength of Lanca is.”
Not only were the people from the research inst.i.tute laughing, but even the people from the academy were laughing. They all felt that Sheng Yang was being ungrateful.
The teacher looked at Sheng Yang and hesitated for a moment before whispering, “Miss Sheng, thank you for helping me so much. You’re even helping me through all kinds of difficulties. I… Do you have a boyfriend?”
He suddenly blushed. He suspected that the reason Sheng Yang was putting herself in such a difficult situation and so determined to help him in front of everyone was that she had a good impression of him.
