The vice principal stood in front of the microphone, his voice flowing out slowly as he introduced the topic, while the screen behind him flipped through the pages in coordination.
After listening for a while, Yu Qi finally understood. "So, this academic competition is really just as my idol predicted. This time, it assesses everyone's performance in all aspects."
Leng Ruo nodded. "Yes, everyone has their own points, and the final ranking of the whole team is the sum of those points."
"That……"
Chang Xiaoyuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Although that's true, we're a team, and everyone's score is related to the team's ranking. I'm afraid..."
"Holding someone back?"
Before Chang Xiaoyuan could finish speaking, Qi Jiu interrupted him.
The girl's eyes held a hint of amusement as she looked at him with great interest.
Yu Qi, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback, and the expression on her face was somewhat indescribable.
If she were to hold the team back, it would affect the face of the entire nation. She really didn't want to drag down the whole team and the entire country because of herself.
For some reason, the pressure is increasing dramatically.
"Don't worry, everyone who's made it here has achievements and ability, so don't underestimate yourselves. When you're under pressure, others are under pressure too."
The girl's expression didn't change much, and she didn't seem too worried about it.
Seeing the expression on her face, Chang Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. "Qiqi, you're the number one student in our country, if I were to..."
"You're not bad either, ranked fourth, what are you afraid of?"
Two teams from China participated in the competition, and although the results were calculated separately, the same applied to other countries. So what if we ranked fourth? Just being able to participate in the competition already means we've defeated 99% of all university students in the country.
Now she's not worried about the competition results; she's just wondering why the competition rules have been changed.
It has clearly become a routine.
"Today, we have gathered the top students from all over the country. In order to prevent everyone here from underestimating us, I think it is necessary to introduce some of the more outstanding students here."
Qi Jiu, who had just finished packing her things and was about to leave, was taken aback by these words. She glanced back at the two smiling people at the front and raised an eyebrow.
Introduction? Resume?
When did academic competitions include such a component?
"Anran, when did this kind of component come into the academic competition? Was it there before?"
An Ran shook her head, equally confused. "No, the school principal wouldn't have been so kind as to say such things to the students during previous academic competitions, much less warn them to be on guard."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu smiled.
Got it, those two old scoundrels did it on purpose!
"The students participating in this competition are quite extraordinary. Everyone should take a good look and not underestimate them."
Qi Jiu: "..."
Okay, I'll listen, alright?
I wonder if those two old scoundrels on stage chuckled when they saw her put down the book in her hand.
As the screen behind him changed, photos appeared, along with accompanying text, and the introduction began.
"This person is from country Y..."
A round of applause rang out, and Qi Jiu, like everyone else, subconsciously looked at that person. However, she did not expect that the person would suddenly lower his head the next second after meeting her gaze.
He looked like a frightened quail, completely flustered, and dared not raise his head for a long time.
"Huh? Why is this Y countryman so afraid of you? Did you eat someone right in front of him?" Chang Xiaoyuan was a little confused.
This person was smug and triumphant just now amidst the applause of the crowd, but now that he sees Qi Jiu, why does he change his attitude completely?
Qi Jiu: "..."
She raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose and smiled. "Do you remember when the little princess from Country Y came to City A as an exchange student?"
Upon hearing this, the people nearby fell into deep thought. "It seems...it seems like there was such a thing. Wasn't it a big deal before, and it even made the news?"
Yu Qi blinked. "I remember, that little princess actually framed the second young master of the Shen family, so... wait? Your brother?"
Now that everyone thinks about it, they finally realize what's going on.
"Is it because of this that you're afraid of me?"
"No, it was me who drove that little princess away. The reason why Y Country doesn't dare to utter a single word now is because of me."
The people nearby: "..."
"Then, does this mean you've offended Country Y?"
The fact that Y Country's most beloved little princess lost face in China and left in a sorry state is a slap in the face for Y Country.
Qi Jiu laughed, "They don't have the guts or the power. So what if we offended them? They didn't dare utter a single word before, but now they dare to?"
Country Y: "..." Don't they have any pride?
Inside the classroom, applause rose and fell; whenever the information on the screen changed, thunderous applause would erupt.
Time passed second by second, and finally, just as the girl was about to fall asleep, she saw her own photo and information on the screen.
"Idol! Idol, look! It's you! Every country has one person on the list, and our China is you!"
Yu Qi excitedly shook the girl's arm, completely shaking away her drowsiness.
"Why are you so excited? The real person is right next to you, what's so exciting about looking at some information?"
The girl shook her neck, which helped her regain some clarity.
"Of course it's different. Here, your information is the most abundant!"
"Our last person is from China. Of course, I believe many people know her and have probably seen her in the news quite a bit. I won't go into details, there's too much to say."
The vice principal smiled, and whether intentionally or not, he deliberately enlarged Qi Jiu's photo considerably.
The next second, Qi Jiu felt countless gazes fall upon her.
Qi Jiu: "..." Is this guy doing this on purpose?
"Qi, now that you've achieved so much, as a senior to these people, wouldn't you like to come up and say something?"
The vice principal was smiling in front, his face crinkling with wrinkles.
Qi Jiu: "..." Isn't this supposed to be a competition? Why are they giving lectures now?
Someone with her extensive experience gets paid to give lectures!
Feeling the intense gazes upon her, Qi Jiu had no choice but to stand up and slowly walk to the podium under everyone's watchful eyes.
"You old man, are you trying to rip me off now by taking advantage of the competition? If I were to give a lecture, it would cost a fortune!"
She had never agreed to give a lecture when other schools invited her before!
The girl lowered her voice, which made the two vice principals next to her chuckle.
"You've finally come all this way to Erlin University, so of course we're going to take advantage of you now! Hurry up, there are so many people waiting!"
