Chapter 449: Hua Country, Ying Zijin [2 updates]
Otherwise, Irina wouldn’t have so brazenly called Hua Country’s contestants garbage.
Teng Yunmeng whispered, “I don’t know if there’s a problem with the draw, but too many of our contestants have faced her.”
“It’s also because I’m too terrible.” The girl’s eyes reddened, “If only I had learned a little more, I wouldn’t have scored just five points.”
“No, you did well, you’re really amazing.” Ying Zijin lifted her eyes, “You all aren’t bad; it’s just that the other side’s knowledge isn’t something a high schooler could have. It’s not an equal match.”
It was yesterday when Yu Xuesheng came to her and confirmed once again that Irina had her past life’s memories awakened.
He even specifically looked up the scientists from O continent’s history, but none quite matched up.
A scientist competing against high school students—what suspense could there possibly be in the result?
“Everyone knows she’s in a special situation, but what can be done about it.” Feng Yue sighed, “Maybe I should go get hypnotized too. What if I was Simon Brand in a past life?”
Ying Zijin fell silent for a moment, “Don’t worry, you’re not him; you’re way more honest than he is.”
Feng Yue: “???”
“Let’s go eat first.” Ying Zijin glanced at the time, “We need energy for the competition this afternoon.”
Teng Yunmeng nodded and helped the girl stand up.
The restaurant was on the ground floor of the venue.
No sooner had they entered when they were greeted by a burst of hissing sounds.
It was the contestants from Yilan Public School.
Irina sat among them, her smile laden with mockery.
She looked at the girl and said coldly, “I forgot to tell you yesterday, I’m really looking forward to facing off against you in the individual contest, but what a pity you drew the team event.”
Otherwise, she would have made sure to trample Ying Zijin’s pride under her feet.
Ying Zijin stopped in her tracks, turned her head, her gaze as icy as snow, “Before this, I might have said something, but now—”
“You’re not worthy.”
Irina’s expression changed, and her voice altered, “I’m not worthy?”
Ying Zijin, with one hand in her pocket, replied, “We’ll see in the final contest.”
Irina was taken aback and frowned, “What did you say?”
Ying Zijin paid her no more attention and went to the serving window to get her meal.
“Irina, don’t bother with her.” The boy beside her sneered disdainfully, “You can only participate in one, the individual or the team event. She’s just boasting.”
Irina pursed her lips.
For some reason, she had a bad feeling, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
She couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Ying Zijin anymore and left the restaurant.

After lunch, Ying Zijin and Teng Yunmeng parted ways with the others.
She glanced at the map and headed to the organizing committee’s office.
Inside were the organizing committee’s director and several staff members.
“Ying Zijin.” The director stood up, his tone warm, “What can I do for you?” ƒrēewebnovel.com
Team events are collaborative, so it’s usually hard for an individual to stand out.
But there was this freak, Ying Zijin.
She became famous in one battle.
Now, there wasn’t a person in the entire organizing committee who didn’t know her.
Ying Zijin nodded, “Director, I came to ask if what you mentioned before still holds?”
The director was momentarily startled, “What are you referring to?”
Ying Zijin raised her hand and pushed her phone toward him.
The director took it and his expression instantly froze.
He was astounded, almost speechless, “Ying Zijin, you…”
On the phone were Ying Zijin’s username and her quiz scores.
Although the ISC’s online competition had ended, the quiz app and accounts were still preserved.
“It’s me.” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “So, does it still count?”
“Of course, it counts.” The director flushed with excitement, “Having you compete is an honor for the ISC.”
She’d topped the overall leaderboard!
They’d finally got her to come!
No, rather, the overall leaderboard’s number one was there all along.
What a magical fact!
“In that case, I should have two spots.” Ying Zijin spoke up, “I can draw again for the individual event, right?”
“Certainly.” The director nodded, “But we’d agreed that you’d get a 1v1 showdown, and you can go directly to the final.”
Ying Zijin put away her phone, “That’s great, I’ll go to the individual finals.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The director escorted the girl out, “We’ll arrange it, we’ll start arranging it right away.”
**
People all over the world were watching the live broadcast, though not everyone, just as not everyone watches the Olympics.
Ying Yuexuan started watching on the third day.
So far, 47 Hua Country contestants had gone up against Irina.
Without exception, all were defeated.
Ying Yuexuan sneered silently to herself.
She had to acknowledge Ying Zijin’s strength as unparalleled among her peers.
But that’s how reality is; some people won’t recognize how incredible Ying Zijin is—they’ll only focus on the results.
