"Why? If it were possible, would you still want Tan Mo to monopolize all the competitions?" Ying Siyuan kicked him, "You are really promising!"

"Ahem!" Shen Hongshan covered his lips and cleared his throat. "If this is how we can win, then...it's not impossible..."

Ying Siyuan: “…”

"It would be nice to win, but it would make us look incompetent," Ying Siyuan said, touching his chin.

"At worst, I'll go back and study very hard!" Ling Zimu said with a clenched fist.

"But if that's the case, you won't be able to play. Don't you mind?" Wang Yuemu said, "Siyuan and I have participated in competitions before, so this doesn't matter to us. But you all need opportunities to perform and see the results of your studies, right? Besides, if Tan Mo really wins alone and returns to school, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"It doesn't matter. It's better to be laughed at by people in the same school than to be laughed at by so many people from other schools." Chen Shihua shrugged.

Pu Xinyan and Guan Ruyue also nodded. "It's not that we don't have confidence in ourselves, it's just that when we go up there, there will definitely be questions we don't know how to answer. But Tan Mo is different. She should know them all. All she needs to worry about is whether she can press the buzzer fast enough. Tan Mo is more secure."

"If you all agree, then we can give it a try," Wang Yuemu said. "In previous competitions, there wasn't a hard requirement to send different students to each round. It's just that the original intention of the competition was to test students' abilities, so the professors tried their best to let every student try to avoid any regrets."

"Actually, I think other professors don't understand, but for Professor Gu, winning or losing doesn't matter. He just wants everyone to get some exercise." Wang Yuemu smiled. "Of course, this year is different. This year, Professor Gu is particularly concerned about his reputation, provoked by Professor Liu. If Tan Mo can really sweep the competition alone and humiliate his opponent, I think Professor Gu will be very happy this time."

"You should think carefully. After Professor Gu is happy, he will scold you."

Everyone: “…”

Don’t tell me, they have already thought about how to curse.

It's nothing more than that they are useless. They actually let Tan Mo win the competition on their behalf. As seniors, they don't even know how to feel ashamed.

"It's okay, go ahead and scold me." Ying Siyuan gritted his teeth and said, "We are useless. As senior brothers and sisters, we relied on Tan Mo alone to win the game. We deserve to be scolded! Just like what Zimu said, after we win this time, the worst that can happen is that we go back and work hard!"

Pu Xinyan raised her hand and said, "Have you noticed that we're actually on par with Hua University right now? Hua University thinks we're weak and sees this year's championship as a sure thing. But we're also like that, as long as Tan Mo goes out, we're guaranteed to win the competition."

"It's not just an impression, it's a certainty!" Wang Yuemu said confidently.

Pu Xinyan nodded: "I think so too."

Listen, if people from Hua University heard what they said, they would be furious.

"That depends on the rules this year. If it's similar to previous years and there's no requirement to make substitutions in every round, then let Tan Mo play all the time." Ying Siyuan made the final decision.

"Wait a minute." Teacher Sun frowned. "Hey, you guys, I'm still here. You made this decision right in front of me?"

Everyone looked at Teacher Sun and asked, "Do you want to win the competition?"

Teacher Sun nodded: "I do."

"If you want to be 100% sure of winning, you have to do this," said Wang Yuemu.

Teacher Sun: “…”

He felt like he was being sidelined.

These students, what he says doesn’t count!

Professor Gu, who was far away in a restaurant outside the school, had no idea that these people had already arranged the competition properly.

A few of them walked around the campus and saw that it was almost time, so they found a student on the roadside and asked him for a good restaurant, and then went there.

A few people bought lunch and sat down not long after, they saw five people coming to the next table, putting their kettles on the table to reserve seats, and then went to get their food.

Not long after, the five people came back one after another.

Not long after they sat down, they started chatting.

"It would be embarrassing for Kyoto University if they lose this match again."

"If we lose again, I think the title of number one in the Chinese Department will go to Hua University. They don't deserve the title."

"The team we have this time is said to be the strongest ever."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Lin won the championship two years in a row, the year before last and last year respectively. I heard that Senior Sister Zhao dug out all the contest questions from the past three years and did them until she knew them by heart and got them all right."

"And Senior Brother Wang categorized all the questions from the previous five years, found patterns in the questions for each round, and then assigned everyone to prepare. Each person will be responsible for a round of competition, specializing in that round's category. Even if we can't get it completely right during the competition, we can still ensure an accuracy rate of over 90%."

"We're so well prepared, how could we not win?"

"This time, let them see what happens at Beijing University!"

"That's right. In the past, we always won by the smallest margins. But this year, the seniors are determined to win the competition with overwhelming force, bringing honor to our school and making a name for ourselves!"

Teacher Sun originally disagreed with letting Tan Mo be responsible for the strategy of the entire game alone.

But now, his face suddenly darkened, and he whispered, "Tan Mo, this competition is up to you. Sweep them clean! Let them boast about their achievements. We must slap them in the face, slap them hard! Let them know that the title of number one in the Chinese Department will always belong to Peking University!"

"If nothing else, at least in the Chinese Department, Jingda will always be the boss!" Teacher Sun said solemnly, "Let them know that our previous losses weren't due to our lack of strength, but because we simply didn't send out our best troops!"

Everyone: “…”

Teacher Sun, your attitude has become a little too blunt.

Shen Hongshan couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Sun, was it true that we lost before because we didn't send out our elite troops?"

"The elites are too lazy to participate and stay in school to concentrate on research?" Wu Jiazhen asked expectantly.

"..." Teacher Sun looked at them inexplicably, "What are you thinking! Professor Gu is such a face-conscious person, how could he not send out elite troops? Especially when the opponent is Professor Liu, how could Professor Gu possibly underestimate him?"

Everyone: “…”

They finally understood.

If we lost before, it was a real loss.

The strength is still not there.

"Then Professor Gu told Professor Liu that he didn't send all of his elite students? Everyone was busy with research and didn't take the competition seriously?" Chen Shihua took the opportunity to ask while Professor Gu was away and Teacher Sun was not so tight-lipped... no, he seemed to know the truth of the matter.
