Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

The three boys grew extremely nervous after Ye Jian had suddenly stopped. They lowered their heads down and were afraid to leave the site.

In fact, after a brief stop, Ye Jian left without saying a word. But just these insignificant movements were enough to make the three students hold on to their breaths.

However, Ye Jian only appeared to be looking at the boy in the back, when in fact, she was examining the son of the high official with her peripheral vision.

The son of the high official… had constantly appeared in Red Scorpion’s room. In her previous life, she had seen reports on government officials’ involvement in drug trafficking on the news. The hands of these civil guardians were dirtier than expected.

Xia Jinyuan… probably knew about it too. But as an outsider, there was nothing to do about Vietnam’s internal affairs.

After three days of exams, the final competition today became ever so fierce.

The Science Olympiad, which consisted of quick response questions. Furthermore, the students’ performances were on live-stream to Australians and viewers from all over the world.

The Vietnamese students were not at their best performances. Even at times when they were quick to answer, they still made small mistakes and ranked last on the list.

The most competitive countries were China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. Students from these four countries were all calm and steady like soldiers dressed in battle armor. Even when they made an error in the process, it would be corrected by other students immediately, thus securing the score.

The scores became gapped when it came to mental arithmetic.

The first to be eliminated was the United Kingdom, then South Korea. Finally, it came down to Chinese students against American students on the competition stage.

The situation reached an unprecedented tension that the live reporters put on their serious expressions as an ice-frozen atmosphere filled the whole room.

”Unfortunately, the Australian students were eliminated despite their best efforts. But we are all proud of them because honestly, more than 90 percent of the people in the nation were unable to get the correct answer. As of now, we’ve only received four correct answers from the adult population.”

Even though students from her own country were eliminated, the serious and humorous reporter was still proud of their performance in the competition.

Under the stage, the teachers were all serious and tense. Watching the Chinese and American students competing for victory, they held their breaths and anticipated the final result.

As the students conducted theory and mental arithmetic simultaneously, the adults in the broadcast room could feel the competition getting fired up despite their little understanding of the problem.

Unyielding, the students calculated the problems like a computer and answered the question with exceptional logic. Such unhurried confidence pushed the event to a climax.

Director Li sat on the bench with his arms crossed in front. Despite how calm he looked on the outside, he was clenching his sweaty fists tightly underneath.

China started competing in the Olympiad rather late, in 1985. Team competitions had always been China’s strength, therefore, the students were determined to take home the gold medals this time.

After eliminating all the other countries except one last strong opponent, Director Li watched without blinking his eyes, afraid to miss any detail.

When the five-hour time limit was up, the American students regretfully shrugged their shoulders. Overall, the China team won three gold medals from this competition as opposed to the two won by the America team.
