Chapter 480: Compet.i.tion

They had to scroll on the mouse to see more rows of the table.

They could only see the first 20 rows. Dean Jiang, Dean Ge, and the rest did not look closely at the first page. They just wanted to know who the top three teams were. After all, they were expecting to be ranked 50th or so, and would only be shown on the second page onwards.

The first team name ended with “jingda,” and everyone could tell at once that it was Qin Ran’s team.

Not only were the compet.i.tors of University A shocked, but even Dean Jiang and Dean Ge were also a little stunned.

For the first time ever, Dean Ge rubbed his eyes and took a second look.

The team in the first place did not change.

Both Dean Jiang and Dean Ge knew what this meant.

Dean Ge looked towards Dean Jiang. “First place! We have a team that got into the top three, and the first place at that!”

Upon hearing that, the leaders at the adjacent table quickly put their beers down and rushed over to check it out.

Dean Jiang’s hand shook as he gripped the mouse.

Compared to the rest of them, Nan Huiyao was rather calm. They had already witnessed Qin Ran’s ability during the research process.

Nan Huiyao ran back to their 5-bedder room and told Qin Ran about it.

Qin Ran was currently discussing some research stuff with Chu Heng and Brother Ye.

Upon hearing Nan Huiyao’s words, she simply nodded at her and then continued her discussion.

Nan Huiyao looked at these three calm people and thought about the excited lot in the main hall…

Nan Huiyao stood rooted to the ground for a while before slowly walking back.

A few people had just snapped back to reality.

“Hurry, tell Princ.i.p.al Zhou about this.” After checking it over a few times, Dean Jiang got up and said to Dr. Zhou, “Tell him about this good news!”

Good news, this really was good news for Beijing University.

Zhou Ying picked up the phone with trembling hands and gave Princ.i.p.al Zhou a call.

There was a time difference between the two continents. It was about two in the afternoon where Princ.i.p.al Zhou was. He was having tea with Old Master Cheng in the pavilion.

Princ.i.p.al Zhou’s cell phone rang.

He knew that Zhou Ying had led the teams for an international compet.i.tion over the last two days.

Princ.i.p.al Zhou smiled when he saw that it was him calling. Before he picked up, he said to Old Master Cheng, “Qin Ran and the rest must have achieved some good results.”

He picked up the call and heard Zhou Ying’s voice right away. “Dad, the results are out. Qin Ran’s team is in the first place!”

“First place…” Princ.i.p.al Zhou could barely believe it.

Old Master Cheng was playing with his parrot. Upon hearing Princ.i.p.al Zhou, he turned around and asked confidently, “Ran Ran’s team isn’t too bad, right?”

He was confident of her.

“Not too bad? It’s better than that.” Princ.i.p.al Zhou stood up and said, “I have to contact the Research Inst.i.tute. There’ll be reporters then, I have to leave first.”

Old Master Cheng had no idea what he meant and was confused for a moment.

He turned around and told Butler Qin, “Elder Zhou’s expression is a little strange…” He then got Butler Qin to find out what was going on.

In less than 10 minutes, Butler Qin returned with a weird expression.

“What is it?” Old Master Cheng placed his parrot in the cage and asked.

Princ.i.p.al Zhou left so quickly, and, although Old Master Cheng didn’t know much about the compet.i.tion, his expression got him curious.

Butler Qin took a deep breath. “Old Master, this ICNE compet.i.tion is at the highest level in the Physics field. There’s no age category, and the results are solely based on their final product. Miss Qin’s team… is the first local team to achieve first place after 24 terms!”

“40 years, we finally got it back!”

“Moreover, their team has broken the ICNE record for the team with the youngest average age and the strongest abilities. From what I heard, the labs in Continent M are in utter shock!”

At the same time.

The researchers at the Physics Research Inst.i.tute heard of this news.

“Five young people with an average age of 20…” The researchers were getting agitated. This was fantastic news for the Physics Research Inst.i.tute!

They were calling Scholar Liao to congratulate him for producing such an outstanding student in his lab.

It called for a celebration.

40 years back, the local Physics field did have their glory days. But it only lasted a year. After the leading figure, Nine Er, left the field, they only got worse each year.

From then onwards, the local Research Inst.i.tute became a n.o.body on the international stage. For so many years, none of them had entered the top three places, much less achieved first place.

It was difficult even when they sent almost a hundred teams.

Continent M.

The youngsters had no idea about this once glorious past. But this older group of people who knew what this meant for the industry couldn’t conceal nor suppress their excitement. They’d gone into the next room to cheer and rejoice.

“Junior Qin Ran, your team of five is amazing,” a student researcher from University A said in admiration. “Four Year One students and one external member… with an average age under 21. This is amazing. From today onwards, our team will have to take a trip down to Continent M to learn something too!”

Little did they know that in this group of five, Qin Ran and three other students had only begun their research in November last year. Meanwhile, Brother Ye, the only person who was really in this line, had only joined them about a month before. This came together with little preparation.

Dr. Zhou did not say anything. He simply opened the windows.

From where he stood, he could see the five country flags hanging off Continent M’s Physics Research Inst.i.tute building. One of them had been replaced by their country’s flag.

It had been 40 years. Their team had finally returned to Continent M.
