Linna opened her eyes, her consciousness withdrawing from the White Death's office.
"Nai-ge, why are you spacing out again?"
While eating a chicken leg, Meng Feifei asked, "Are you thinking of a strategy to deal with those guys from the gene company?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Lin Nai replied casually, taking the opportunity to retort.
"I think we can settle this before they release their pressure points!"
Meng Feifei chewed on the chicken and said, "After watching the previous matches, if they hide the drugs in their stomachs, they need to release several acupoints on their bodies and use their soul power to activate the drug's effects, but the pre-emptive action seems to take quite a long time. We can take the initiative and speed up the pace of our attack so that they don't have a chance to activate the drug's effects in their bodies."
Yang Xiaochuan looked at him with surprise: "I didn't expect you to think about these things?"
Meng Feifei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Nonsense, we've already made it to the official competition, so we can't just slack off."
Yang Xiaochuan: "But you don't seem like someone who would plan tactics."
Meng Feifei: "...Do you mean I look like a brute?"
Truman calmly said, "Even without using drugs, the remaining people at Genetron Health are all quite capable. It probably won't be that easy."
"I also think it's not that easy."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Linna looked up.
It turns out to be Hua Lingze.
He also seemed to be there for a meal, as almost all the contestants would be at the restaurant at this time.
Hua Lingze walked towards their table with a smile on her face.
He was accompanied by his younger sister, Hua Yingwen.
Truman pushed up his glasses and said, "You are Hua Lingze from the Hua family of Kyoto, the most sought-after genius magician at Kyoto University this year."
“It’s me.” Hua Lingze paused, looked at him, and recognized Chu Men: “Chu Men of the Confucian school, I’ve heard my mentor say that you are an extremely powerful person. In the first round, your phantom clone kept following me, which gave me a lot of headaches.”
Truman said, "I saw your flower magic trick on TV several years ago; it was amazing."
Hua Lingze said with a smile, "Your signature data collection is quite famous. Even my mentor told me before I came to Yecheng to stay away from you so that you wouldn't secretly collect my data."
Truman smiled: "The Flower Magician's extraordinary serial number is 11, which is one place higher than my Phantom Writer's serial number, 12."
Hua Lingze waved his hand: "The difference of just one place in the sequence number doesn't mean anything. In fact, your profession is superior to mine in many ways."
Truman said, "That's still not as wealthy as your Hua family. I heard your family is the largest conglomerate in Kyoto. If you don't win the championship, you'll have to go back and inherit a billion-dollar fortune."
Hua Lingze said, "It's all just a small amount of money. You Confucian disciples are well-read and live a leisurely life, which I envy even more."
Linnaeus: "..."
Are these two just flattering each other here?
At that moment, a commotion broke out at the restaurant entrance.
Linna turned her head to look.
It turns out it was the people from the gene company who came to the restaurant for lunch...
Zhang and Li, as the team leaders, walked at the front, followed by Wu Ming, Yan Jiuchen, and Liang Ao, while Bai Shou and Monkey walked at the very back.
The white orc was tall and strong, nearly two meters in height, with a robust physique that made him look like a wall. His sharp eyes caused people to hurriedly avoid him.
The monkey, hunched over, walked at the back. Its already thin body looked like a bent bamboo pole. It yawned all the way, listless, looking like it hadn't woken up yet.
At this time, most of the people eating in the restaurant were the contestants who had advanced to the next round, as well as some team leaders and teachers from various universities, and some referees.
As soon as the people from the gene company entered, everyone cast cold glances at them.
Clearly, their previous actions have provoked public outrage!
"These bastards, how dare they come to eat at a restaurant?"
"Heh heh heh!"
"I need to talk to the chef at the restaurant and see if I can spit before they serve my food?"
"Damn it, these guys, I get so angry just looking at them!"
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..."
"Don't break the rules of the game for this kind of trash..."
Brother Zhang, Brother Li, and several other contestants from the gene company seemed completely unaffected by the hostile looks and words. They found a corner seat, sat down, and began ordering food.
Seeing this, Meng Feifei said, "Tsk tsk... These people have really angered everyone. Don't they fear that after the competition ends, they might get a sack over their head and be beaten to death while walking at night?"
Hua Lingze looked at them deeply and said, "There are only 64 contestants left in the later rounds. Whether you encounter the people from the gene company or Mu Xun, it will be a tough battle."
Lin Nai glanced at the time, picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, then stood up and said calmly, "I have a match tomorrow, so I need to go back and rest."
"Huh?" Meng Feifei exclaimed in surprise, "So early? It's not even completely dark yet."
Lin Nai didn't respond, but glanced at Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, come with me to cultivate."
The girl obediently stood up: "Oh...oh..."
The two left the restaurant together.
Everyone watched their retreating figures. Anan scratched his head and said, "Don't you guys think Linna seems a little strange today?"
“Yes!” Ah Guang clearly thought so too, nodding seriously with his arms crossed: “Obviously, he has something on his mind, and he hasn’t told us.”
Yang Xiaochuan was taken aback: "Probably not? Maybe it's because it's his first time participating in this kind of competition, and the pressure is too much?"
"No, that's not true." Lin Yuxi pouted and said, "Wan'er's mood isn't quite right today either."
Tang Hongshan remained silent, gazing thoughtfully at Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er's retreating figures.
......
Sky Eye Room.
"Mr. Ji, these are the draw rules for the official competition. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."
The chief referee handed a tablet computer to Mr. Ji.
Professor Ji took the tablet and lightly swiped his finger across it.
The chief referee explained: "There are 64 people in the finals. They will be drawn according to their rankings. The top 8 will only draw the bottom 8 players, players ranked 9-16 will only draw players ranked 49-56, and so on. This will prevent the players with the best chance of winning from meeting each other in advance."
"Hmm, no problem." Old Ji handed the tablet back to him and said calmly, "Let's do it this way."
"There's another question, Elder Ji..." The chief judge hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't we really need to restrain those people from the gene company? Their actions have gone too far!"
