Chapter 269
As long as it was this moment, both the students who were still brushing up on their skills and the teachers and professors who were recording the scores of the rankings, they could clearly see the new round of overall rankings.
In particular, the first place was specifically bolded and marked in red.
no.1:username hidden, China, 456 points
no.2: Amanda, M, 352 points
There was a difference of 104 points between the first and second place!
And ten minutes ago, Amanda was still in first place.
It was unbelievable.
“Who is this?” The two teachers from Ilan Public School looked at each other in astonishment, “When did that pop up?”
They hadn’t even seen a change in first at eleven fifteen.
Even if they were geniuses, they couldn’t have answered so many questions in a row within ten minutes.
“China.” A teacher looked at the nationality on the second line and frowned, “All the top talents from China, all straight through to the international competition, who the hell is this person?”
The username had been hidden, indicating that the person answering the question did not want to reveal his or her real name.
This also made it impossible for them to tell who the first place winner was.
Just as Zuo Li had given Ying Ziyi’s information to Ying Ziyi, the information of Teng Yun Meng, Feng Yue and a few others was similarly sent to various countries.
“It’s very unscientific.” Another teacher also frowned, “There’s something odd about this score, ask the organising committee what’s going on.”
Although it was already early in the morning, the two teachers sent an enquiry message to the professorial group over in country y.
There was also a training camp on the y side, and it was the professors from Helga University who were in charge.
Helga University, the second highest ranked university in the world, was much stronger than the Imperial University in terms of academic research and international status.
But in fact, Helga University is also good enough to be called number one in the world.
This is, of course, within the normal general university.
After all, the real specialities of Norton University are not really studied by normal people.
Apparently, the professorial team over there was also paying attention to this newly released list one, and the reply was quick.
[If you click on the user name, you will be able to see how long the contestant took to answer the questions and the number of questions she got right.
The last rule in the rules states that if you get more than 100 consecutive questions right, your score will be doubled.
[However, she did answer them very quickly, and the professor team is judging whether it is true or not.
The additional questions were not necessarily as difficult as the basic questions, but mainly because they were biased and wide-ranging.
One of the additional questions even tested which of the spaceships on Simon Brand’s manuscript was the one.
The additional questions were almost like a mixture of knowledge from various fields, both ancient and modern.
How could there be someone who could get more than a hundred questions right in a row?
The two teachers couldn’t help but take a breath backwards.
This time, the academic world was going to explode.
**
The imperial capital.
Ying Zidian also answered 114 questions.
After she finished, she didn’t even look at the overall list, put her phone back into her pocket and slowly stretched out.
The number of questions each person got was different every day, which also eliminated the possibility of cheating to a great extent.
Of course, if you really wanted to cheat, it would be impossible to eradicate it completely.
But even if you get into the final round by cheating, without real talent, you will sooner or later be brushed off.
The additional questions are 90% multiple-choice and are really quick to do.
Coincidentally, a large portion of them were history that she had experienced.
“An hour and a half.” He trailed off, “Yao Yao, I don’t usually see that you love studying so much.”
Ying Ziyang yawned, “Because money is the first productive force.”
“Okay, little money lover.” Fu Yunshen patted her head, “It’s too late, hurry back to rest, I’ll go to the car.
Ying stood in place, slightly wrinkling her brow: “I seem to ……”
Fu Yunshen turned his head and saw a light pink floating on her cheeks.
Because of the height difference, he bent down slightly: “What does it seem like?”
Ying Ziji was silent: “It seems like she had just been drinking.”
She had touched alcohol once since she came to Earth this time.
Beer and red wine were fine for her to drink, it was white wine that was not fine.
When she dabbed a few drops of white wine, she would appear drunk.
It was a matter of her body’s genetic heritage, unless she went for genetic modification surgery.
“You didn’t drink.” Fu Yunshen thought back for a moment, “There should be wine in the dessert you ate just now, you didn’t taste it?”
Ying Ziji propped herself up against the streetlight pole, her phoenix eyes misty for a few moments, “I ate too many kinds of food, I didn’t notice.”
She eats and is generally very relaxed.
Mostly it was the people she was following that relaxed her.
“Can you still walk?” Fu Yunshen tested the temperature of her forehead, “Carry you?”
“Still can.” Ying Ziji shook her head off, “Let’s go.”
She took a few steps and then stopped.
Fu Yunshen followed suit and finally took the girl’s hand.
The ten-minute walk to the car park took half an hour.
With the street light, Fu Yunshen looked at the two shadows on the ground that were half a head apart.
This is really like, dad with daughter.
f*cked up a heart.

Early in the morning, at eight o’clock, Weibo exploded.
[Crap! I don’t know who’s in first place this evening, but our country is in first place, and by so many points?
[Xiang Tran, Xiang Tran is also 8th! Ahhhhh, he didn’t stay up all night answering questions, did he?
[And so on! The twelfth is going to be in the top ten, and there will be three Chinese in the top ten soon!
The netizens were so energised that they went over the wall to the Internet one after another.
One by one, the netizens went to the Internet and took the freshly released rankings and threw them in the faces of the people who had mocked them earlier.
[Dumbfounded? I told you, in less than three days, the number one ranking will be changed, and now it’s not even three days.
[Yo ho ho, how come your region’s number one is more than a hundred points behind our region, I really doubt any of you would have made it to the isc international final if the organising committee hadn’t allocated places? That’s it? That’s it?
[China has nothing but the spirit of China, we never give up, we take advantage of your slackness to overtake you, are you angry? [smile]]
The Chinese netizens have been on Weibo for so long that they have developed an iron mouth that can beat ten people with one.
Soon, the mocking remarks gave way to disappearance on several social forums around the world.
One foot they were singing their praises, the next they were smacked in the face.
And at this moment, inside the office of the professor group.
As usual, Zuo Li turned on his computer in front of his office and went to the official website to check the ranking of isc.
When he looked at it, he spewed a mouthful of water directly onto the display.
Even Zuo Li, who had always been strict, burst out: “D*mn!”
His eyes were wide, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
456 points!
Is this a f*cking person?
There are perverts every year, but why are there so many this year?
“Student Ying, I take back what I said yesterday.” Zuo Li called Ying Zidian over again, he had a serious look on his face, “Your opponent should be more than just Irina, there’s also this pervert, but you’re both from our country, it’s the same who comes first and who comes second.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
She beat herself.
okfine.
It’s not a no-no.
Zuo Li was quite excited: “I thought we’d have enough perverts like you this time, but I didn’t expect another one to come along, just in time.
He muttered, “But it’s strange, how come this student didn’t answer the questions on the first two days, but did so on the third night?”
Ying thought about it and thoughtfully gave him an answer, “She forgot.”
“Bullsh*t.” Zuo Li glared, “Such an important matter, how could she forget? But I’m really curious as to why this student is participating? By rights, she should be able to go straight to the international competition.”
Once again, Ying Ziyi gave a thoughtful reply, “For the money.”
Zuo Li rolled his eyes, “Oh, you think everyone is like you.”
Like him, he doesn’t care about money.
Ying Zidian: “……”
These days, telling the truth just doesn’t get anyone to believe it.
“By the way, cla*smate Ying.” Zuo Li added, “Do you have anything else besides the hair growth shampoo? It’s so effective!”
“Yes.” Ying Zidian raised his eyebrows, “A whitening and hydrating mask? You want to use it?”
“Yes, yes, yes, ten boxes.” Zuo Li was just asking, but he didn’t expect a surprise, “I’ll give them to my wife.”

Because of the change in the ranking, both the foreign network and Weibo exploded.
Especially on Weibo, there were celebrations.
And in the afternoon, one account on a major global social media app posted this message.
[@sunshine: It’s impossible to get such a high score in an hour and a half, nor is it possible for a genius to say he didn’t exploit a loophole in the quiz app, who would believe it?
I’ve already emailed the organizing committee and asked for a strict investigation.
If you dare to exploit loopholes in such a rigorous academic competition, it will be your country that will lose face. [smile]]
Chapter 270
Below this comment, there is a picture attached.
It is a reply email from the isc organising committee, written in plain English.
It probably means that the challenge has been received and the organising committee will investigate it in the shortest possible time.
A competition jointly organised by ten world-cla*s universities and international science event centres, involving high school students from around the world, would naturally be very discreet.
But of course, the isc organising committee cannot just a*sume that a contestant has cheated just because one person has raised a query, and will definitely launch an investigation.
At the same time, a notice came out on the isc’s official website, saying that the competition would be guaranteed to be fair.
At this point, several global social software vendors, a new round of sparring began.
The people who had been mocking earlier jumped in again.
[I told you, how could someone overtake Amanda in just a few minutes and by over a hundred points straight away, is that human? Oh, so that’s it, exploiting a system loophole.]
I’ve heard that China’s computer technology is not the best in the world, so they don’t usually use it in the right way.
The first time I saw the game, I said, “I don’t know how to use the system. You don’t allow people to answer questions correctly?
[Well, let’s wait for the notification to come down and see if there’s really a problem, if not, your faces will be lost.
After Teng Yun Meng posted this comment, she pointed at the various language replies and wrinkled her doll face in anger.
“Ziggy, look, these people really see the wind and take advantage of the system loopholes, who doesn’t know that isc is an international competition being watched by many parties?”
Ying Ziji glanced at it, not caring, she nodded slightly, “Don’t worry, it won’t be cheating.”
The technology of isc, the question-answering app, is very sophisticated, and the organising committee must have hired technicians with high computer skills.
But if one really wanted to crack it, it wasn’t impossible.
But it’s much more tiring than answering questions.
“Of course it’s impossible.” On the side, Feng Yue also shrugged, “Who cheats to get a first place straight away? Isn’t that the equivalent of a thief crying out to catch a thief? That’s why I said that group of people on the external network are really stupid.”
Ying Ziji opened her phone and took a look at the current ranking, and had an idea in her mind.
She planned to do the questions once a week, as long as the more questions she got right, the higher the multiplier of her score would be by then.
At this moment, Teng Yun Meng suddenly spoke up with a bit of caution: “What do you want to do here? Didn’t you hurt us badly enough last time?”
Ying Zidian pressed out her mobile phone and turned her head, seeing Xiu Yan walking this way on her high heels.
As the eldest young lady of the Xiu family, Xiu Yan had always been very conscious of her manners.
Even after being questioned so bluntly by Teng Yun Meng, she still had a decent elegant smile on her face and was only slightly surprised: “You mean the incident at the last ktv? I also didn’t expect that the Feng family would be so bold as to cause trouble in the box I booked.”
“But now that Feng Hua’s faction has fallen, it’s considered revenge for you guys.”
Teng Yun Meng didn’t believe Xiu Yan’s rhetoric at all and snorted coldly.
She knew that the incident at the ktv must have something to do with Xiu Yan, but she had no proof.
Not to mention, the Xiu family was very powerful and could indeed crush people to death in certain aspects.
Xiu Yan collected her smile and her gaze fell on the girl, “Ying, next month there will be an international calligraphy and painting exhibition coming to this side of the empire, all the exhibits sent by various countries.”
“You write so well, even though you’re not from the Chinese Calligraphy Artists a*sociation, you should see more of these exhibitions, I’ll give you a ticket, you can enter the inner court with it then.”
“No need.” Ying Zigui didn’t even look at it, indifferently, “I have it.”
Xiu Yan froze for a moment and smiled again, “Student Ying, what I’m giving you is an internal ticket for our a*sociation, not the kind you bought.”
She put the ticket down straight away, “Anyway, I’ve given you the ticket, so remember to come when you’re there.”
As if remembering something, Xiu Yan said, “I heard that the a*sociation has also sent up some works of calligraphy, so you can learn from them.
After saying that, Xiu Yan left.
Ying Ziyi didn’t look at the ticket either. Seeing Feng Yue’s intention, she casually slipped it to him.
She did have a ticket, Sheng Qingtang had given her several of them.
He said there were words on the exhibition that he had sent over for her, so she could look at them herself.
But Sheng Qingtang knew she wasn’t interested in that, so he didn’t expect her to go.
Feng Yue was a straight man and also sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere: “Is Xiu Yan targeting you?”
Ying Ziji’s phoenix eyes narrowed, “Yes, I guess.”
Feng Yue scratched his head, “But why? Although you are prettier than her, have a higher IQ and are better at making money than her, but she is the Xiu family’s youngest daughter, what do you want?”
Ying Ziji paused and said lightly, “It’s not me she really wants to target.”
Feng Yue was even more confused, but he couldn’t make sense of the question.
After scratching his head again, he went on to work with Teng Yun Meng on the small physical mechanical device according to the drawing.
**
While all the schools were debating whether there was cheating in the isc online audition, Norton University remained unconcerned with the world and did not get involved in anything.
The Vice Chancellor felt that he was walking much lighter since the last time Ying had helped improve his body with ancient medicine.
He went to the admissions team’s office and pushed the door in, and saw the head of admissions looking at the computer.
The admissions department at Norton University was actually only responsible for the admissions of S, SS and individual A-level colleges, while the other levels were not under the control of the admissions department.
The head of admissions was one of the few senior people who knew the vice-chancellor.
He busily got up, “Vice Principal.”
The vice-principal came over and saw a programme from China on the computer screen.
He couldn’t read the Chinese language and asked, “What’s this for?”
“It’s a homemade academic programme over in China, it’s all about some high school students.” The head of admissions said, “I think there are a few seedlings in there that are good enough to be recruited into our school.”
The vice-principal hmmed and nodded, and watched along.
Until he saw a palm of a familiar face: “……”
“With a thud, the vice headmaster sat down on his butt.
The Head of Admissions was startled and rushed to help him up, “Vice-Principal, are you all right?”
“No, I’m fine.” The Vice Principal took out a tissue and wiped his head full of sweat, “It’s just that, it’s just that this leg is a bit unstable and I can’t help it.”
He was simply shocked.
Such a big Buddha, someone who had been involved in the history of three hundred years o the continent, and had left his name.
And this, actually running off to enter an international academic cla*s competition for high school students?
Although they also really intend to pick some of the people selected in the isc international final to recruit into Norton University.
The vice-principal faltered as he took out his phone, tapped on Norton’s own chat app and found his special concern.
I saw you on TV, why didn’t you want to go to the isc? You come over here, the president’s seat is all yours.]
It took ten minutes before there was a reply.
[Last time I saw you, you were a bit bald, do you want to buy some hair growth shampoo? I happen to have some here, we know each other, give you a discount? But cross-country shipping you remember to pay for it yourself.]
Vice Principal: “……”
Excuse me.
He shouldn’t have contacted this Buddha.
The vice headmaster wiped his sweat again and said, “These students are quite good, we can send an invitation letter when the time comes, but we still need to test if we can get into an S-ranked college or above.”
The mechanical department was actually still considered a normal major, but the things learned were different from other universities.
The mechanical department at Norton University would study new types of weapons.
This new type of weapon is not available outside, and there are even some weapons that are just like the ones shown in science fiction movies.
It is also because of the Department of Mechanics that Norton University’s science and technology is above the overall level of technology in the world today.
The Vice-Chancellor is worried about the alchemy and astrology departments.
The alchemy department is fine, but the astrology department doesn’t have enough people to fill a cla*s.
This could not be helped, after all, there were too few people with this type of talent.
Unlike in the ancient o-continent period, there were many magical girl warlocks who were able to perform divination themselves.
“I think so too.” The head of admissions agreed, pointing specifically at the girl again, “Vice-Principal, look at this student, she is so good looking and has a high IQ, I must recruit her.”
The Vice Principal’s face was expressionless and in his heart he just wanted to lol.
Who would dare to recruit her if the principal couldn’t even invite her?
The head of admissions didn’t know what the vice headmaster was thinking and was quite happy: “I’ll check their profile first and record it, then send out an invitation letter.”

7pm, Imperial City Hospital.
After Mu Yuxi finished her cla*s, she went to see Mu Weifeng with her housekeeper.
In a week’s time, Mu Weifeng’s health had improved a lot, and in a few days he would be able to be discharged from the hospital.
This time, Sheng Qingtang was also there.
Mu Wei Feng saw Mu Yu Xi’s excited look and smiled along with her, “Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?”
“It’s that the isc organising committee has finally issued a statement.” Mu Yuxi took off her school bag and handed him her phone to look at, “I told you, our country must be the strongest.”
It was a notice freshly posted on the isc’s official website, at six fifty.
[Notice to all contestants and all supervisors: after the technical staff’s investigation showed that the contestant did not have any cheating behavior, nor did he take advantage of the system loopholes, it was a real score, purely based on strength.
The production of this answer app has specially hired Mr. Denton Doyle, please feel free to answer the questions.]
