Chapter 398: Sheng Yang: I Give Up

What was scary was that not only could Sheng Yang answer questions quickly as though she didn’t have to think at all, she also ran extremely fast.

As time went by, not only did her stamina not deplete but she even ran faster and faster.

Very quickly, she overtook Han Jingyu. Han Jingyu could only look at her back with a bitter smile.

It was the same with everyone else.

It was only halfway through, but she had already surpassed more than half of the contestants despite constantly rolling ones.

Shang Qi, the only girl in the top three last year, seemed to be struggling with her physical fitness. She was currently in sixth place, but she was not flustered at all.

There were many areas that she was good at, and the questions at the end were getting harder and harder. Eventually, she would have a chance to overtake the rest.

This year’s questions were more and more difficult. The organizers had also changed their minds. After the halfway mark, the contestants would have a chance to get a hint for each question. As for the last question, there would be three hints. It was because the difficulty level was too high—it was world-class.

Shang Qi was at the first question after the halfway mark. Sometimes when she got a clue, she could quickly answer the question quickly and avoid many detours.

Hence, she was looking at the hint when Sheng Yang walked over. After picking a question, she quickly read through it.

One of the organizers asked her, “Do you need a hint?”

“No need,” Sheng Yang said firmly.

Shang Qi turned her head and looked at the girl in surprise, wondering if she was too aggressive and reckless.

The next second, Sheng Yang came up with an answer.

The organizer was stunned. Before they could announce the results, Sheng Yang couldn’t wait any longer and ran forward.

Shang Qi asked impatiently, “Is her answer correct?”

“… Yes.”

“…”

Sheng Yang was confident that her answer wouldn’t be wrong.

At this moment, everyone in the S-grade laboratory was discussing.

“There’s a very impressive girl participating this year.”

“Indeed. I think she might be qualified to join the S-rank laboratory in the future.”

Lan Guang slowly raised his head.

Even though his nephew was participating, he had never cared much about this sort of competition. He only thought that it was a small fight between children.

His nephew was not even a threat yet, but he could still get fifth place.

Therefore, only laymen valued this business war more. For the professionals, it was child’s play.

However, his colleague was already holding his phone and showing it to him, looking excited.

Just as he was about to touch the phone, Lan Guang’s finger slipped when he saw what was on it and the phone fell to the ground with a clang.

“Sorry. I’ll get you a new one.” He didn’t have time to feel awkward. He picked up the phone with lightning speed and double-checked to make sure that it wasn’t…

Why would such a skilled person join this business war that was child’s play? To beat everyone up and have them experience life?

At this moment, he saw someone huffing and puffing on the screen. Wasn’t it his silly nephew who was running with her?

Lan Guang wished he could rush into the screen and tell Lan Xiao, “Stop wasting your energy.”

Before they even reached the answering checkpoint, Lan Xiao was already in a bad state compared to Sheng Yang. As a guy, he was worse at running than a girl. How could this be?

He ran as fast as he could, so much so that he was physically and mentally exhausted. Sheng Yang was so skillful that she didn’t even seem to need to catch her breath, yet she was still able to pull a distance between them.

If not for the anger that had been building up within him for way too long, Lan Xiao would have nearly given up!

His impression of the girls around him was that they would call out to him just to ask him to help them twist open a bottle cap. They would say, “Brother Lan Xiao, help me!” However, the one in front of him could obviously twist his entire skull with just one hand!
