Chapter 107: Finding the Grandmaster and Announcement of Results (Part 2)
There was no other way, Niu Rui could only call again.
Niu Chunhua: "I've already told you, go ahead and kill him if you want. Why are you still beating him?! Don't you understand what I'm saying?! I want to sleep!"
"No... Mom... Can't you give me some face in front of my new master?"
The other end hesitated for a moment: "...What new owner? Where did the new owner come from?"
Niu Rui told her the whole story.
Then--
"Bullshit! There's no way the traction pendant could fall into someone else's hands!"
Niu Rui: "It's definitely Aunt Lou's handwriting... I've seen it and compared it with a machine..."
There was silence on the other end.
At this time, Jiang Fuyue stretched out her hand: "I'll talk to her."
Niu Rui handed over the phone.
The two were silent, and suddenly spoke at the same time—
"You look better in a moon-white cheongsam." Just like in the oil painting.
Niu Chunhua was stunned for a moment. After two seconds of dead silence, she trembled and spoke word by word, "Why?"
"Because," Jiang Fuyue curled her lips, "you look like a rotten tomato in red."
There was a clang from the other end, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. "It's you! You're back! I knew it! I knew it!"
Jiang Fuyue said nothing.
Niu Chunhua took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Do you want the authorization key?"
"Um."
She rattled off a string of numbers.
Before hanging up, he repeatedly warned Jiang Fuyue: "You stay in the capital and wait for me to return! Don't leave! You must not leave! Do you hear me?!"
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
After getting the key authority, I operated the computer and quickly found what I wanted.
Jiang Fuyue printed it out, spread it out on the table, and called Niu Rui, "Come here."
"I?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
"...Oh." He obediently walked to Jiang Fuyue's side, but his expression was slightly hesitant. "According to the rules, my level does not have access to S-level permissions..."
“So I printed it out.”
Niu Rui scratched his head: "Is this also possible?"
"The S-level standard for permissions is set to prevent excessive access to confidential databases, which could lead to leaks. 'No access' doesn't mean you can't know the specific contents of S-level encryption, but rather that you can't access the S-level database at will. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand. To put it simply, others can tell me what's in Curry, but I can't use my key to open the door and look inside."
Jiang Fuyue snapped her fingers: "Smart."
Niu Rui smiled, a hint of shyness on his face, and glanced at the paper. "Huh? A map?"
"Can you tell where it is?"
"Imperial Capital!"
Jiang Fuyue hummed softly, drew a circle with her finger, and pointed at a certain place: "To be precise, it should be the East City District of the Imperial Capital."
"So, what can I do?"
Jiang Fuyue suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze piercing: "Help me find someone. Dongcheng District is where he's been most active in the past twenty years, especially this area..."
Niu Rui looked intently: "School?"
"Look carefully, what else is there besides the school?"
"……cybercafe!"
Jiang Fuyue: "Help me find him!"
"Then what about this person's appearance, height, and age..."
Jiang Fuyue smiled: "No need to ask too much, because you know this person."
"Me?" Niu Rui was shocked.
"Yes, Ye Qianji—Niu Chunhua's master's father, your great master!"
…
It was already noon when they left the bar, and Jiang Fuyue looked back.
The neon sign was not on and the door was half-closed, which looked quite bleak at first glance.
The bar sign was surrounded by a circle of colorful lights, but it wasn't lit. Two words were hung crookedly and in a very witty and artistic way on it - Angelica!
That's the name of the bar.
Who is it waiting for to return?
…
Three days passed in a flash, and the candidates who were traveling around the area also returned to the hotel one after another.
It’s finally time to announce the results.
"Everyone, please gather in the conference room on the third floor after breakfast. We will then announce the results of this competition and the list of summer camp finalists."
The staff member left after saying this, leaving everyone whispering and anxiously waiting.
"It's actually going to be announced so soon. I'm so nervous!"
"What are you afraid of? You usually have such good grades..."
"This year's computer-based test is more difficult than in previous years. I'm really unsure."
"I heard a few people handed in their papers early. What happened to them? Did they think the questions were easy?"
"I don't know. I haven't asked."
"Tsk," Ke Ran couldn't help curling his lips when he heard that. "What else could it be? If you can't do it, then just don't do it. The difficulty is there, it won't be finished in two or three hours. Those who handed in the paper within twenty minutes of the start of the exam, how can you expect her to get a perfect score?"
"That's hard to say. We haven't even seen their test papers, so we can't jump to conclusions too quickly. Maybe they have the ability?"
Ke Ran sneered, "You're getting more and more ridiculous. If Jiang Fuyue gets a perfect score, I'll tear her head off and kick it like a ball."
Well!
“…” duck, no need.
Fan Ye stuffed the last piece of bacon on the plate into her mouth and immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "The food in the imperial capital is so delicious. I really want to stay longer."
Huang Hui laughed.
Gao Zhaoming shook his head.
Fan Ye took in all the little actions of the two and couldn't help but snort, "You think I'm useless because you've never been hungry and don't know what it feels like to not have enough food. If you had experienced it, you would be the same as me!"
When she spoke, her expression was extremely serious, and her dark pupils were shining.
"Sister Yue, don't you agree?"
Jiang Fuyue finished the last sip of milk and put down the cup: "Yeah."
Fan Ye leaned towards her subconsciously as if she had found an ally, and immediately formed two camps with Huang Hui and Gao Zhaoming.
"Sister Yue, I will try my best to stay!" she said.
Jiang Fuyue touched her head and smiled.
In an instant, Fan Ye seemed to see Agta again——
Beautiful, gentle, giving her love and courage time and time again.
…
At nine o'clock sharp, everyone gathered in the conference room.
Jiang Fuyue and the other three didn't arrive early, so only the last two rows of seats were left.
After we took our seats, the leader of the organizer appeared at the right time. Without any unnecessary opening remarks, he turned on the projector directly. The next second, the results and rankings appeared on the screen.
Arrange in descending order according to the total score, with the written test score in the first column, the computer test score in the second column, and the ranking in the third column.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath and began to look for their own names.
But when their eyes fell on the first person's name on the list, the sound of gasps seemed to be contagious, one after another.
Ke Ran sat there, so nervous that her heartbeat quickened and her breathing became difficult, so she didn't look up at the screen at first.
In order to comfort her, Lin Yuan was distracted and trying to persuade her. She was so busy talking that she had no idea that the results had been announced.
When they finally heard the unusual gasping sounds around them, they looked forward as if realizing something was happening...
Face slap warning!
