Chapter 166: Beijing University Will Always Be The Best

“What? Even if it's possible, you actually don't want to let Tan Mo alone handle the competition alone, right?” Ying Siyuan kicked him in the shin. “You must have a head above the clouds!”

PFFT!

Shen Hongshan cleared his throat. “But remember, we can't win like him.. It's not that we have a choice..”.

Ying Siyuan had no answer for that.

“Although winning like that would still be a victory for us, it would also be a little embarrassing for us, right?” Ying Siyuan rubbed her chin as she thought about it.

“If worse comes to worst, I will just stay up late and force myself to get ready,” Ling Zimu said as he clenched his fists.

“Also, that means you all won't get a chance to shine. Don't you care about that?” ask Wang Yuemu.

“Siyuan and I have entered the competition before, so it's not too much of a problem for us. But all of you should have the opportunity to show your abilities and also see exactly what rewards you can earn after all your hard work. Moreover, if Tan Mo wins the competition for us alone, aren't you all afraid that we will become a laughingstock?”

Chen Shihua shrugged her shoulders. “That's no problem for me. I'd rather be treated as a joke in school than by the majority of society. Better to win by any means we can.”

Pu Xinyan nodded; just like Guan Ruyue did. “You must understand that it is not because we lack confidence. But if we go on stage, there will definitely be questions that we cannot answer. But Tan Mo is different from us. He knows the answers to all the questions. The only thing he needed to worry about was how quickly he could reach the bell. He really is our best chance to win the competition.”

“If that's what you all agree to, we can give it a try,” Wang Yuemu said.

“There are no strict rules about who will be brought on stage by competitors. It's just that most professors want to send all their competitors on stage in order to measure their abilities. It's a pity not to do this."

“To be honest, I don't think other professors should be like this. But for Professor Gu, winning or losing was not very important. The main goal is to get a feel for this competition and learn from it.” Wang Yuemu laughed.

“Of course, this year is different. With the provocation he had received from Professor Liu, Professor Gu was really very worried about losing face. If we let Tan Mo sweep away the victory, it would definitely embarrass the other opponents. Professor Gu would be happy to hear that."

“But then, after that short moment of happiness, he will also scold you all.”

The crowd was silent at that moment.

Whatever…

They've been thinking about this maturely.

It was just that they felt they were useless compared to Tan Mo. And they realized if they wanted to win the competition, they had to let Tan Mo alone win the competition for them. As seniors, they were not ashamed either.

“Do not worry, we can accept the reprimand.” Ying Siyuan clenched her teeth.

“As your senior, we deserve to be scolded for letting Tan Mo win the competition for us because we are so incompetent. As Zimu said, after this incredible victory, we will only force ourselves to work even harder. More difficult than ever!”

Pu Xinyan raised her hand and said, “Did any of you realize that our gap with Tsinghua University is actually not that big? They think we are weak and their eyes are on the first prize. But we are strong too. As long as Tan Mo gets on stage, we can steal the win.”

“This is not a problem can, this is a definite win for us if Tan Mo goes on stage,” Wang Yuemu said.

Pu Xinyan nodded as well. “I think so too.”

If the students from Tsinghua could hear this conversation, they would have already lost their minds.

“We only need to see the rule book this year. If it is similar to last year, who said that we should not replace people in every round, then we will leave everything to Tan Mo,” Ying Siyuan said firmly.

“Wait,” said their teacher, Teacher Lao, helpless.

“I'm still here, you know. You guys actually made this decision right in front of me without consulting me?"

They all stared directly at Master Lao. “Do you want to win the competition?”

He nodded his head. “Of course.”

“If we want to guarantee this victory, we must follow up on this plan,” Wang Yuemu said.

These students really didn't take it seriously.

Professor Gu, who was in the canteen, did not know that these students had already determined the formation of the competition.

Some students saw time running out so they finished their walks around the school park. Then they walked towards the canteen, asking the locals for a better canteen.

As soon as they took lunch and sat down, the other five people sat at the table next to them. They put their water bottles to occupy the space and go to order their food.

Not long after, they returned and started talking amongst themselves.

“If Beijing University loses again, it will be very embarrassing.”

“Agreement. I really think that the number one place will always be ours here at Tsinghua University. They absolutely cannot compete with us.”

“I heard that our team for this competition is one of the strongest over the last few years.”

“Yes, Zhang and Lin won the competition last year and the year before. I also heard that Master Zhao took out all the questions from the past three years and had them recite them carefully until they had made no mistake.”

“We also have Wang. He organized all the questions from the past five years into different categories and researched all the rules for those categories. After that, he divided the team into these categories. Different people will be assigned different categories. They may not have a perfect full scoring streak, but they will get at least 90 percent right

“With preparation like this, there is no way we will not win.”

“We're really going to put on a show for Beijing University, right?”

“It's true. It used to be a close call in this competition. But it looks like this year something is different, as our seniors are very determined to win solidly and bring pride to our school.”

Master Lao initially wanted to reject the plan of sending Tan Mo as the sole contender to defeat the other team.

But now, when he heard these students gossiping, he put on a wooden face and whispered, “Tan Mo, this competition is completely in your hands. Make sure you give us a good win and let them feel our ability. Give them a good show and make sure they suffer when they see us claim victory. We have to tell them that the first place will always be ours, those from Beijing University!"

“Other departments do not matter, but at least for Chinese Majors, Beijing University will always be the best,” whispered Master Lao.

“Let them know that our previous defeat was not because we were not good enough, but because we did not send the best of the best.”

The crowd around him was silent.

Teacher Lao, maybe your attitude is too straightforward and outspoken.

Shen Hongshan could not control himself and said, “Teacher Lao, was our previous defeat really because we did not send the best of the best?”

“Is it because they are too lazy and stay in school to focus on research?” Wu Jiazhen excitedly asked.

“...” Mr. Lao looked at them with a surprised expression.

“What do you all think? Professor Gu is very proud. There was no way he would not send the elites. Especially if it's against Professor Liu. Professor Gu never took this matter lightly.”

Once again, the crowd around him fell silent.

They now understand.

Their previous losses were real losses.

They just weren't good enough. They were simply not on the same level as Tan Mo.

“But didn't Professor Gu tell Professor Liu that he hasn't sent all his elite competitors? Everyone is busy doing research and not exerting everything during the competition?”

Chen Shihua, who understood the situation quite well, took this opportunity to ask Master Lao a question, which could not be too harsh since Professor Gu was not around at the moment.
