Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 929 - 438: Team Battle (Part 2)

The compendium of ancient and modern images covers history, archaeology, historical geography, important historical figures and periods, and the rise and fall of civilizations.

Universe of Kun and Yu covers "The Book of Changes" hexagrams, geography, population resources, environment, and folklore, culture, customs, and traditions.

The nine comprehensive sections are non-overlapping, covering all disciplines with endless breadth.

Yan Lu felt faint upon seeing all this.

It’s too difficult, just too difficult.

Gao Yuyue furrowed her brows. She managed to hold steady, turning instinctively to glance at Shen You’an, who remained unmoved, stable as a mountain.

Liu Runxi and Rong Xianning were also composed and calm.

Gao Yuyue relaxed. An’an was the pillar stabilizing their morale.

Shen You’an looked at Liu Runxi, who nodded slightly.

A single glance, as if nothing was said, yet everything was communicated.

Everything was conveyed without words.

Shen You’an turned to Rong Xianning.

Rong Xianning said gently, "You’re the leader, we’ll follow your lead."

Without hesitation, Shen You’an chose the area he was most skilled in: Physical Chemistry Mysteries, followed by the screen displaying seven sections arranged by difficulty level.

Shen You’an chose the fourth level in the center.

At this moment, all eyes were on Shen You’an’s every move. They were all competitors, trying to find any hint of expression changes on Shen You’an’s face, but to their disappointment, Shen You’an was unmatched in expression management.

The moment Shen You’an made his choice, the question appeared simultaneously on the small screen in front of him and the large screen behind him, accompanied by the clear voice of the host echoing throughout the broadcast hall.

— According to the theory of relativity, in the famous Twin Paradox, when the twin brothers return to Earth after a high-speed space journey, who will be younger?

A The brother who stayed on Earth

B The brother who went on the space journey

C Both are the same age

D Depends on the direction of the journey

The thinking time was only fifteen seconds, and failing to answer in time would result in a deduction of four points.

Time for the respondent was scant, leaving no room for contemplation.

Shen You’an made his choice within three seconds.

The system’s male voice confirmed the correct answer after a countdown, awarding the team four points.

The pressure on the other teams rose instantly.

The question itself wasn’t exceptionally hard, but the real challenge was making a rapid decision under pressure. Those less resilient could easily crack under stress.

Shen You’an had a perfect start with his first question.

Yan Lu hung her head in regret, having answered incorrectly.

Shen You’an explained into the microphone, "This is a classic example of the time dilation effect in special relativity. Because the space traveler experienced acceleration and deceleration, his time elapsed more slowly, so he’s younger upon returning to Earth."

Yan Lu realized that An’an was explaining to her, and after a brief reflection, she understood.

Yan Lu blushed with embarrassment, realizing she still had much to learn.

Shen You’an’s team promptly reached four points, and Shen You’an’s name topped the real-time leaderboard on the big screen.

Pressure mounted on everyone present.

Next up was a chance for all ten teams to answer simultaneously, now it boiled down to luck. Whoever was quickest with their hands and had good fortune would snag the second question.

"Congratulations to Leng Yunyang’s team for securing the answering rights to the second question."

Leng Yunyang smirked, casting a prideful glance at Shen You’an.

It seemed like silent boasting.

During the MT International Mathematics Challenge, he couldn’t beat Shen You’an, but he’d practiced his speed since then, now finally having a chance to redeem himself.

Shen You’an didn’t even acknowledge him with a glance, making Leng Yunyang feel awkward.

Leng Yunyang seemed like a hot-headed, stubborn second-generation heir, but in fact, he respected his teammates enough to give the choice and answering rights to Gu Bichen.

Gao Yuyue sneered softly, knowing no one could outsmart Leng Yunyang. He was deliberately lifting Gu Bichen, knowing exactly who the Crown Prince was, aligning himself correctly.

It must be said, he could bend and adapt, showing considerable cleverness.

Gu Bichen lacked Shen You’an’s decisiveness and boldness, hesitating repeatedly before choosing the same type of question as Shen You’an, Physical Chemistry Mysteries, with the same difficulty level of four.

This was his strongest and most confident area.

The question was about chemistry.

— What is the critical chain reaction step that may lead to thermal runaway when a lithium battery is overcharged?

Sweat beaded on Gu Bichen’s forehead, and his fingers curled tightly.

Time ticked by second by second.

Leng Yunyang raised his eyebrows, his finger gesturing a number below the console.

Gu Bichen froze, but he had no time for deep thought.

He quickly made a decision.

The system notified them of the correct answer, awarding Gu Bichen’s team four points.

Gu Bichen secretly sighed in relief.

Leng Yunyang’s lips curled into a mocking smile, shaking his head.

Gu Bichen was even less competent than he imagined; continuing would only embarrass the Gu family.

No wonder Shen You’an didn’t include him in the team.

Could dating Yu Ruohuan have affected him? Leng Yunyang pondered.

He thought it wasn’t that simple, suspecting there was something amiss.

Next came the tense rush answering phase.

Whoever first reached one hundred points would end the match.

And the team at the bottom of the points ranking would face elimination.

As expected, Shen You’an’s team was the first to reach 100 points.

Second place went to Zhang Yan’s team from Chunzhou First Middle School. Zhang Yan, sixteen years old, was a slightly chubby, unremarkable-looking girl. She wasn’t as eye-catching as Shen You’an but stood out in the race for her answers, being the only team besides Shen You’an’s to score over ninety points.

Outshining Gu Bichen’s team, she made a strong impression.

Unfortunately, due to her image, she wouldn’t get much screen time compared to Shen You’an.

Gu Bichen’s team ranked third, with eighty-five points.

At seven in the evening, the show finished recording.

Yan Lu, having stood all day in a tense state, collapsed to the ground upon hearing the recording was over.

Shen You’an lifted her up, "It’s cold on the floor. Tonight I’m treating you all to celebrate our initial victory. Each of you is a key contributor."

Later, each of the four teammates had the chance to choose questions and answer them. Fortunately, none of them let the team down, and everyone performed excellently.

It was their first group collaboration, successfully completed.
