Chapter 535 - Brainiac Is Here
Qin Shuang was straightforward when she said this. After saying that, she swiftly went to the washroom and drew water to wipe her body. After all, the injury on her knee had yet to recover and she could not shower.
While she was busy on the balcony, the others were still chatting.
Someone said, “Xu Xinyao, the recording is starting tomorrow. Has Zhan Busi arrived?”
Xu Xinyao lowered her head and smiled. “Of course he’s here. But his teachers are in China right now, so he went to visit them. He hasn’t joined the production team yet, but he’ll come tomorrow.”
The person asked, “He has teachers in the country? Isn’t he from a foreign university?”
Xu Xinyao smiled. “You guys don’t know about this, do you? There are two famous professors at Scanford University. One of them is a mathematician and the other is a chemist. They’re in China! Since he’s here, he definitely has to pay them a visit!”
After saying that, she looked at the balcony. “Hey, speaking of which, this genius is really amazing. I heard that he’s proficient in six languages. Anyway, I heard from the management agency that he looks like a god of learning!”
“How impressive! Such a person must be a genius. It’s rare to see someone like him in a hundred years!”
“If two famous professors are his teachers, then he must be really awesome!”
“…”
Everyone chatted and complimented Xu Xinyao. After all, she was the princess of the training camp. She smiled and was about to say something when Qin Shuang returned to her room after washing up.
She turned off the lights.
There was a sudden gasp in the room.
“Qin Shuang, what are you doing?”
“We aren’t going to sleep yet, so why did you switch off the lights?”
Qin Shuang climbed onto her bed and slowly said, “It’s ten o’clock. If you don’t want to sleep and chat instead, go back to your rooms. Don’t stay here with me!”
Her domineering attitude made the others look at each other before finally leaving.
After they left her room, someone could not help but complain, “Isn’t she too fierce?”
“Forget it.”
Xu Xinyao smiled. “I don’t think she’s found a good student, so it’s understandable that she’s in a bad mood.”
“That’s true…”
The group of people left while talking, leaving Qin Shuang curling her lips in the darkness. She turned around, placed her hands under her head, and stared at the dark ceiling.
Brother Chen was not dead.
It’s true that she did not understand how he managed to survive after jumping down from such a high cliff and triggering a quake bomb.
But at this moment, she felt extremely relaxed.
As for Sister Xi, she finally did not have to carry anything anymore.
…
At this moment, Zhan Busi, who had been praised by Xu Xinyao, was trembling as he listened to the two professors.
Professor Thor commanded in pure English, “You must win this round and show the Goddess that Scanford has a strong foundation and is worthy of her presence!”
Professor Derry also said, “That’s right, tell the Chinese people the difference between them and us! Let Xue Xi realize that it’s a waste for someone as talented as her to stay in China. She should go to places with more possibilities and create more benefits!”
Zhan Busi was trembling.
Although he was a genius student from Country M and had an enviable role, he could not be proud in front of these two.
These two were also rare geniuses when they were young, and their excellence was absolutely not inferior to Zhan Busi’s.
Zhan Busi nodded. “Teachers, I will definitely work hard!”
Derry frowned. He looked especially serious with a straight face. “I don’t want you to work hard, I want you to succeed!”
Thor was also very serious. “As for the Goddess, you must let her see the true strength of China!”
After he finished speaking, he asked, “Are there any particularly powerful participants?”
At the mention of this, Zhan Busi became more confident. “I don’t think so. There are a few from Huaxia University, but they don’t seem to be very good.”
“That’s good.”
Thor and Derry looked at each other, then they both laughed again. “But you shouldn’t underestimate the Chinese, either.”
Zhan Busi nodded. “Alright, Teachers.”
After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, is the person you’re talking about really powerful?”
Thor and Derry both nodded.
Thor: “She could solve a chemical problem that even I can’t solve.”
Derry: “The conjecture she proved was something for which I worked hard for six months and gave up before I could prove it.”
The two of them said in unison, “Luckily, she’s not going on this show. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance to win.”
Zhan Busi: “…”
…
…
Zhan Busi had long been given the name list of the top students to be on the show. Unfortunately, Xue Xi had only added her name tonight, so he did not know.
The news that Xue Xi was participating in The Most Beautiful Girl’s variety show, “The Top Student is Here,” started spreading in Huaxia University.
Most of the invited students from Huaxia University and Huazhong University were the best students in the country.
And the original intention of The Most Beautiful Girls was to attract a group of highly educated fans.
The recording of the show was about to begin. Xue Xi went to the backstage of the production set to do her makeup. Her long red hair was tied up. After putting on the hood, she put on a long, curly black wig.
When the makeup artist was putting on makeup for her, she stared at her skin and eyes. Finally, she said quietly, “Your skin condition is really better than a celebrity’s. I’ll apply a thin layer of lip balm for you!”
Xue Xi: “…Okay.”
She arrived late, but she was the first to finish her makeup.
After her makeup was done, her phone vibrated. Xue Xi took a look and realized that it was a call from Xiang Huai.
She raised an eyebrow and answered the call.
On the other end, Xiang Huai said, “Are you going to participate in the program when your hand isn’t better yet?”
Xue Xi subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her hand.
The stitches on her hand had already dissolved. However, when she looked over, there was still a red scar. She said gently, “It’s almost healed.”
“Well, then, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you talk to that Little Chatterbox, she can help you out by talking others’ brains out.”
He too sounded like a chatterbox.
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Xiang Huai reminded her not to dip her hands in water again and only hung up when the production was about to start.
The girls in the training camp had also finished putting on their makeup. Now, there were only 36 people left in the training camp, so there were 36 straight-A students today.
The trainees and the guests formed a duo, and everyone began to fight.
Variety programs were broadcasted live and there was no audience at the venue. The program team led this group of people into a large conference room and everyone sat down in pairs.
At this moment, the host went on stage. After an opening speech, the host smiled. He raised the script in his hand and said, “I’ve received everyone’s resume. Let’s talk about something interesting. All of you participated in competitions when you were in school. Some of you won the first prize in the chemistry competition, some won the first prize in the physics competition, and most of you won the mathematics competition. Out of the 36 people present, 30 of them represented the country and participated in the IMO competition. Does this mean that half of the mathematics world is in our program team?”
The comments were filled with laughter.
The geniuses laughed.
After the host finished speaking, he gave them a chance. “Then, let’s invite our top students and the members of the training camp to introduce themselves!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone handed a microphone to Xu Xinyao. After Xu Xinyao introduced herself, Zhan Busi spoke in Mandarin. “Hello, everyone. I’m from Scanford University. I’m proficient in four languages. When I was in school, I majored in many electives. Professor Derry from the mathematics department of Scanford University is my teacher. Of course, what’s not worth mentioning is that my IMO results got first prize.”
After he finished speaking, he swept his gaze across everyone present. Then, he curled his lips and slowly smiled. “However, my test back then got close to a perfect score.”
His words made all the geniuses who were not paying much attention at first look at him!
Everyone knew how difficult the IMO questions were.
To be able to score close to full marks, Zhan Busi was definitely very capable!
After saying this, Zhan Busi elaborated on the various rewards he had received, the achievements he had achieved in chemistry and physics, and his various other projects. He spoke for five minutes before finishing his résumé.
As Xu Xinyao listened to his boast, she felt that she had really found a treasure this time!
She looked at Qin Shuang smugly and her gaze landed on the girl standing beside her.
It turned out that it was still this red-haired girl.
Did she participate in the IMO?
