Chapter 270 Norton University, Organizing Committee's Statement Slaps Him in the Face [1 Update]
The comment was accompanied by an image.
It was a reply email from the ISC organizing committee, written entirely in English.
The gist is that they have received questions and the organizing committee will investigate the matter as soon as possible.
The competition, jointly organized by ten world-class universities and an international science competition center, involves high school students from all over the world, so it is naturally taken very seriously.
Of course, the ISC organizing committee cannot simply conclude that a contestant has cheated based on one person's questioning; they will definitely launch an investigation.
Meanwhile, ISC's official website also issued a notice stating that it would ensure the fairness of the competition.
This has sparked a new round of competition among several global social media companies.
Those who had been mocking him earlier jumped out again.
[I knew it! How could someone overtake Amanda by more than a hundred points in just a few minutes? Is that even human? Oh, I see, they exploited a system loophole.]
I've heard that China's computer technology isn't among the world's best. They never seem to use it for anything worthwhile, only for shady dealings. Now they've been caught, haven't they?
[Just because you can't beat them doesn't mean you're accusing them of exploiting a system bug? Have some shame! China has plenty of geniuses, so what? Are you saying people can't get a perfect score?]
Okay, then let's wait for the official notification to see if there's really a problem. If there isn't, you'll be utterly humiliated.
After posting this comment, Teng Yunmeng pointed at the replies in various languages, her baby face scrunched up in anger.
"Zijin, look at these people, they really jump to conclusions at the slightest hint of trouble, and they even exploit system vulnerabilities. Who doesn't know that ISC is an international competition that is being watched by many parties?"
Ying Zijing glanced at it, unconcerned, and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, it's not cheating."
The ISC quiz app is technically very sophisticated; the organizing committee must have hired highly skilled computer technicians.
But if you really want to crack it, it's not impossible.
However, this is much more tiring than answering questions.
“Of course it’s impossible.” Feng Yue shrugged as well. “Who would cheat and get first place? That would be like the thief crying ‘stop thief!’ That’s why I say those people on the internet are really stupid.”
Ying Zijing opened her phone, glanced at the current rankings, and had a general idea of the situation.
She plans to do practice questions once a week. The more questions she gets right in a row, the higher her score will be.
At this moment, Teng Yunmeng suddenly spoke, with a hint of wariness: "What do you want from me? Didn't you hurt us badly enough last time?"
Ying Zijing turned off her phone, turned around, and saw Xiu Yan walking towards her in high heels.
As the eldest daughter of the Xiu family, Xiu Yan has always paid great attention to her demeanor.
Even when Teng Yunmeng questioned her so bluntly, she still maintained a proper and elegant smile, only slightly surprised: "You mean what happened at the KTV last time? I didn't expect the Feng family to be so bold as to cause trouble in the private room I booked."
"But now that Feng Hua's faction has fallen, it can be considered revenge for you."
Teng Yunmeng didn't believe Xiu Yan's explanation at all and snorted coldly.
She knew that the incident at the KTV was definitely related to Xiu Yan, but she had no proof.
Needless to say, the Xiu family wields immense power, and in some ways, they can indeed crush people.
Xiu Yan suppressed his smile and looked at the girl: "Student Ying, there will be an international calligraphy and painting exhibition coming to the capital next month. The exhibits are from various countries."
“Your calligraphy is so good. Even though you’re not a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Artists Association, you should still visit exhibitions like this. Here’s a ticket for you. You can use it to enter the exhibition hall.”
"No need," Ying Zijing said calmly without even looking at it. "I have some."
Xiu Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Ying, the tickets I gave you are from our association, not the kind you bought."
She simply put the ticket down: "Anyway, I'm giving you the ticket. Remember to come."
As if remembering something, Xiu Yan said, seemingly casually, "I heard that the association also submitted several works by famous calligraphers. Ying, you can learn from them. I can also introduce you to the directors of our association. Maybe you can even join."
After saying that, Xiu Yan left.
Ying Zijing didn't even look at the ticket. Seeing that Feng Yue was interested, she casually handed it to him.
She did have tickets; Sheng Qingtang gave her several.
He said there was a piece of calligraphy at the exhibition that he had sent to her, so she could take a look herself.
But Sheng Qingtang knew she wasn't interested in these things, so he didn't expect her to go.
Feng Yue, being a straight man, also sensed that something was off: "Is Xiu Yan targeting you?"
Ying Zijin narrowed her phoenix eyes: "Is that so?"
Feng Yue scratched his head: "But why? Even though you're prettier, smarter, and better at making money than her, she's the eldest daughter of the Xiu family. What doesn't she have?"
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then said calmly, "She's not really targeting me."
Feng Yue was even more confused, but he couldn't get a reasonable answer from him.
After scratching his head again, he and Teng Yunmeng continued to build the small physical mechanical device according to the blueprints.

While various schools were debating whether there had been any cheating in the ISC online qualifying competition, Norton University remained uninvolved and did not participate in anything.
Since Ying Zijin helped him improve his health with ancient medicine, the vice principal felt that he could walk much more easily.
He went to the admissions office, pushed open the door, and saw the head of admissions looking at the computer.
Norton University's admissions office is only responsible for admissions to S-level, SS-level, and a few A-level colleges; other levels of colleges are not under its jurisdiction.
The head of admissions is one of the few high-ranking officials who knows the vice-principal.
He quickly stood up: "Vice Principal."
The vice principal walked over and saw a Chinese program on the computer screen.
He couldn't understand Chinese, so he asked, "What's this for?"
"This is an academic program produced by China, featuring high school students," said the head of the admissions department. "I think there are a few promising students among them who could be recruited to our school."
The vice principal hummed in agreement, nodded, and also looked.
Until he saw a familiar face: "..."
With a "thump," the vice principal sat down on the ground.
The head of the admissions department was startled and quickly helped him up: "Vice Principal, are you alright?"
"N-nothing." The vice principal took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his brow. "It's just that my legs were a little unsteady, and I couldn't help it."
He was utterly shocked.
This Buddha statue is so large, and people who participated in three hundred years of O continent history have left their names on it.
And this guy actually went to participate in an international academic competition for high school students?!
Although they do intend to recruit some of those selected for the ISC International Finals to Norton University.
The vice-principal shakily took out his phone, opened the chat app made by Norton University, and found his special contacts.
[I saw you on TV. Why did you decide to join ISC? What's so great about it? If you came here, the principal's position would be yours.]
Ten minutes later, there was a reply.
I noticed you were a bit balding last time. Would you like to buy some hair growth shampoo? I happen to have some here; we know each other, so I can give you a discount. But remember, you'll have to pay for the international shipping yourself.
Vice Principal: "..."
Sorry to bother you.
He shouldn't have contacted that big Buddha.
The vice principal wiped his sweat again and said, "These students are all quite good. We can send them an invitation later, but whether they can enter an S-level academy or above will require a test."
Mechanical engineering is actually a fairly standard major, but what you learn is different from what you learn at other universities.
The Mechanical Engineering Department at Norton University researches new types of weapons.
This new type of weapon is not found anywhere else; in fact, some weapons are just like those shown in science fiction movies.
It is thanks to the Department of Mechanical Engineering that Norton University's science and technology are superior to the overall technological level of the world today.
The vice principal is worried about the alchemy and astronomy departments.
The alchemy department is doing alright, but the astronomy department still can't even gather enough people for a class.
There's nothing we can do about it; after all, there are very few people with this kind of talent.
Unlike in ancient O continent, where there were many witches and sorcerers who were capable of divination.
“I think so too.” The head of the admissions department agreed, and then pointed to the girl. “Vice Principal, look at this student. She’s really beautiful and intelligent. I must recruit her.”
The vice principal remained expressionless, but inwardly he just wanted to chuckle.
If even the principal can't be persuaded, who would dare to hire him?
The head of the admissions department, unaware of the vice principal's thoughts, was quite optimistic: "I'll check their information and record it first, then send out invitations later."

7 PM, Beijing Capital Hospital.
After class, Mu Yuxi went to see Mu Weifeng with the housekeeper.
After a week, Mu Weifeng's health improved considerably, and he will be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few more days.
Shengqingtang was also present this time.
Seeing Mu Yuxi's excited expression, Mu Weifeng smiled along with her: "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"
"The ISC organizing committee has finally issued a statement." Mu Yuxi took off her backpack and handed him her phone. "I knew it, our country will definitely be the strongest."
This is a notification that was just released on the ISC website at 6:50 PM.
[To all participants and supervisors: An investigation by technical staff has shown that the participant did not engage in any cheating or exploit any system vulnerabilities. The score is genuine and based solely on skill.]
This quiz app was specially developed by Mr. Denton Dole, so all participants can answer the questions with confidence.
