Looking at the results panel on the big screen, Lin Yuxi noticed that several of the participants were students from the gene company. She couldn't help but ask, "We've reached the fourth round this year, and there are still so many students from the gene company left?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Truman said calmly, “This year, the gene company actually only sent 29 contestants to participate, but they currently have 21 contestants left.”
Lin Yuxi was somewhat surprised: "21 out of 29? Is that a really high survival rate...?"
Keep in mind that at this stage of the competition, even the top universities basically only have less than ten people left.
“But the contestants from Genetron Health are very inconsistent,” Truman said. “The data for each of their contestants is almost different every round, and their strength fluctuates greatly.”
Linna gave him a deep look and asked, "Are you suggesting that they might have used banned substances?"
Meng Feifei picked her nose and said leisurely, "I think removing the word 'maybe' would be more accurate."
Truman slowly said, "Gene Corporation is famous for researching the limits of human gene enhancement and producing gene serums. The gene serums they use are extremely powerful. Of course, the side effects are also very terrible."
Lin Nai thought to himself that he should know this best.
He had previously seized a large quantity of gene-enhancing drugs, most of which he resold to the black market, but he kept some for himself.
He still has several gene serums in his inventory.
"Really?" Anan asked doubtfully, "Isn't the use of gene-enhancing drugs strictly prohibited in the National College Games? And don't all athletes undergo doping tests before the competition?"
"Maybe they've developed some new drug that can bypass the detection," Old Zhang scoffed. "Otherwise, I can't explain why their results this year are so good."
After a while, the competition organizers' announcement came on again:
"Attention! Attention! The second round of the challenge match is about to begin!"
"The following contestants, please proceed to your respective rings to prepare!"
"Arena No. 1, Mo Family Academy, Yan Wen vs. Kyoto University, Zhang Yunwen."
"Ring 2, Duhua University, Zhang Jialei vs. Agricultural College, Qian Xiaofeng."
"Arena #3, Gene Company's Directly Affiliated Academy, Tiger Hero vs. Night Watchman Academy, Linna..."
When they heard Linna's name called over the loudspeaker, everyone was taken aback.
I initially thought I had misheard.
When they looked at the big screen, it really was Lin Nai!
"Huh?? Brother Nai, someone actually chose to challenge you?" Meng Feifei asked in surprise.
Lin Nai narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at the panel and found his match information.
Gene company, Tiger.
I see.
In the first round, did you intentionally lose to fall into the lower bracket and gain the opportunity to choose your opponent...?
Many media reporters at the scene were also somewhat surprised to hear this information.
Then they realized what was happening, became excited, and picked up video cameras and still cameras to start snapping away.
"Good heavens, I didn't expect to see the White Reaper's apostle appear so soon!"
"Hurry up and take a picture! Even though we didn't get to see Mu Xun on stage, he's still another apostle, he'll definitely make the headlines today!"
"Shouldn't you pick the easy target in a challenge like this? I don't know what this contestant named Hu Xiong was thinking..."
"They probably think that Linna is only level 2 after all, which is understandable!"
"Yes, Linnai is only level 2, so his strength might not be that great. Look at his ranking, he's only 33rd..."
The media reporters had not seen the previous matches.
Therefore, they can only judge the players' strength based on their current rankings.
They also didn't know the extent of Linna's strength.
Linna stood up, stretched his wrists, and said, "I'm going."
At night, she tilted her head back and looked at him with her watery eyes: "Lin...Lin Nai-ge, good luck!"
Lin Nai smiled, reached out and ruffled her hair, and softly replied, "Mmm."
Tang Hongshan looked at him carefully: "Be careful, the people from the gene company may not be as innocent as the contestants from other schools."
Linna raised her hand and made an "OK" sign, then took off her coat and went down to the field.
Meng Feifei watched Lin Nai's retreating figure, stroked her chin, and asked, "Hey, Xiao Chuzi, according to your information, Brother Nai should have no problem winning this round, right?"
Truman said casually, "I don't know, but I think there's a 60% chance of winning."
Meng Feifei's mouth dropped open in astonishment: "Only 60%?!"
Truman: "I say this because I don't yet know the full extent of the gene company's capabilities, and I don't have complete access to their data, so I can't make calculations."
As he spoke, he downloaded a laptop from his inventory, placed it on his lap, and opened a data processing software.
Truman pushed up his glasses, revealing deep eyes behind the lenses: "However, through this match, we should be able to obtain a lot of useful information."
Three minutes later.
Lin Nai and Hu Xiong stood on the number 3 arena respectively.
Cheers and shouts of encouragement erupted from the audience.
Ah Guang put his hands to his mouth and shouted, "Go, Xiao Nai! If you win, we'll give you a striptease right here and now to cheer you on!"
Linnaeus: "..."
Upon hearing this, some reporters immediately pointed their cameras at them and started snapping photos.
