Cute Brother Badass Family Protector
Chapter 156: Waiting to Watch a Good Show
During military training, Professor Gu and Professor Tang had sent their best students to try and convince Tan Mo to join their department.
At the moment, they seem to have given up.
They really did not understand why Tan Mo wanted to remain in the Treasury.
Under the supervision of Professor Gu or Professor Tang, his future prospects would be endless, regardless of whether he chose Chinese or History as his majors.
If they were in his position, they would have switched majors long ago.
Until now, most people were still unaware that Tan Mo was conducting research with Professor Gu's team.
Apart from the students on Professor Gu's team, as well as Wu Xiaoye and the other 20-year-old second-year students from the History class, no one else was aware of this.
This includes students who are learning Chinese. None of them were in the circle.
Wang Yuemu and the other students in Professor Gu's team were unwilling to bother spreading gossip.
If they had extra time, wouldn't it be better to spend it on research?
As for the 20 second year students of History, the news did not spread too far as they came from different groups of children.
Even if there are some first-year students who know older children one grade above them, the numbers are not many.
What's more, those 20 students are just a fraction of the entire student population studying History.
Moreover, they lost to the new students.
It's a very embarrassing situation. It would be silly to tell others about it.
Therefore, they kept this secret strictly, determined not to let the students from the other classes know about it.
Every time Tan Mo went to the research room, Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi did not ask him any questions.
As for Lin Fuxi, he had only become a passing acquaintance of the other three students who shared the same dorm room. When Lin Fuxi interacted with the other three, they maintained a superficial sense of courtesy with him.
He was a pretty pretentious person and could not force himself to ask Tan Mo. Therefore, he also knew nothing about what was happening in Tan Mo's life.
“Tan Mo, do you know what will be in this test?” some of his classmates asked.
Lin Fuxi was waiting to watch a good show.
Tan Mo.. sure doesn't know anything.
At first, Professor Gu looked at him well.
But in the end, he didn't turn into a Chinese major, did he?
Now Tan Mo has nothing to do with the Chinese Department.
All the fanfare was because Professor Gu and Professor Tang were personally looking for Tan Mo to recruit.
This made Tan Mo quite famous among his classmates. Many students felt that Tan Mo was quite impressive.
But now Tan Mo has nothing to do with Professor Gu.
What's the point of him admitting to being connected to her?
Lin Fuxi could not bear to see Tan Mo acting like a smart person.
He's very impressive…
Professor Gu looked at him well …
He had to divulge the secrets and tell everyone what would be tested during the Ancient Text Competition.
“I know.” Tan Mo did not attempt to boast. He did not voluntarily provide any information about being part of Professor Gu's team.
But he saw no reason to hide any details regarding this competition.
Lin Fuxi looked over in shock.
Tan Mo really knew what was being tested?
Are they all just empty words?
Because someone asked, Tan Mo did not keep it to himself.
“Although there are changes every year, there are some topics that will definitely be tested like the ancient script. The script applies to historical periods such as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Era of Warring States, and the Qin Dynasty. They will also show you the original text and phrases and ask you to choose the appropriate translation. All questions will be multiple choice, and you don't have to translate them right away. However, this will take place in buzzer format. If you hit the bell but answer incorrectly, your competitors will not get any points, but you will lose points. As for the format change they do every year, I'm not sure what they will add this year.”
“It seems like it's too difficult. I can't recognize those ancient texts.”
“Indeed. After all, we never learned it formally.”
“Tan Mo, why do you know all this?” Lin Fuxi questioned Tan Mo and observed his reaction.
“I asked my senior,” replied Tan Mo honestly.
“Then should we register?”
“To be honest, there is no harm in signing up for fun. After all, we do not have to pay the registration fee. I didn't expect to be chosen. I just went there to broaden my horizons and have fun answering questions and, at the same time, to see how much I can really answer.”
“But we are not trained in this. If we get a really bad score and come out at the bottom, wouldn't that be a shame? The whole school will see the score rankings, right?”
“Yes, they said that they will publish it on the school website. They'll spread the link. After you click on the link, the site will direct you to the page where the ranking will be displayed." Lin Fuxi nodded.
Each person: “....”.
The school is so ugly. Are they trying to destroy any trace of confidence they have?
They don't want to embarrass themselves.
Shortly after, the room became quiet.
They want to have fun, but they also don't want to embarrass themselves.
“Actually... it should be okay,” someone speak up.
“There will be many others taking part. If we learn a little and work a little harder, it should be enough to prevent ourselves from falling to the bottom of the rankings.”
“It makes sense. We are from Beijing University, and we are not ordinary students. Naturally, we want to try everything. Even though we don't do this to our degree, we should still expose ourselves to different things and broaden our horizons, right?”
“I agree. My close friends and relatives don't even care what majors I take. When they found out that I was studying at Beijing University, they had the impression that I knew everything. The type of question they asked me was..” The boy who spoke stressed his hand to his forehead, almost like he was suffering from a headache.
“I was too embarrassed to tell them I didn't know the answer. I had no choice but to study hard and do a lot of research. I certainly can't embarrass myself.”
Everyone can relate to his words on a personal level.
“That's the same for me.”
“Tan Mo, will you sign up?” Suddenly, someone asked him a related question.
At that moment, Lin Fuxi turned to look at Tan Mo. He was excited and listening. However, he had to pretend that he was not interested at all.
He ... must appear indifferent.
He adjusted his expression to make himself seem indifferent and calm.
“Ya.” Tan Mo nodded. “I'll sign up.”
When Lin Fuxi heard this, she immediately said, “Then Tan Mo, should I help you register?”
“OK!” Tan Mo nodded.
His professor has been registered in his name for a long time.
However, Tan Mo did not plan to tell him this.
Otherwise, he would have to explain all the circumstances. He needs to explain the fact that he is on the team.
When the students from the History Department heard that he had joined Professor Gu's team, they were very unhappy. Surely, the students of the Chinese Department would react in the same way.
It's hard to predict whether students at the Treasury Department would also think this way.
Tan Mo did not want to be bothered by all this stupidity. Therefore, he kept everything to himself.
If Lin Fuxi signed up for him, it would only be a double submission. That's not a big deal.
Lin Fuxi put the name Tan Mo. After pondering for a moment, he quietly added his own name to the submission.
However, Lin Fuxi did not tell anyone. There's nothing at all.
Just in case his grades are low and he embarrasses himself.
As for the possibility that his name could appear on the leaderboard, he decided to worry about it later.
And a lot of people signed up. The leaderboard would be so full that the chances of finding his name in the sea of names would be extremely low.
As he pondered this, Lin Fuxi made up his mind.
When someone heard that Tan Mo signed up, he said, “Alright, then I'll sign up as well. Even if I humiliate myself, it will only happen once. Moreover, there would be so many people that my name would probably not be visible. Even if they see it, they won't know who I am.”
His words seem to make sense.
As a result, more and more people are signing up.
Some of them are unwilling to go to great lengths for unrelated majors. They are more likely to spend their energy on their own specialties.
