My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1692 - 1691: The Competition Is the Mission
Forget about Hua Yingjie, he’s a total bookworm, but Meng Xianjun and Shao Wuyou never study at all. Why are they suddenly pretending to hit the books?
"Ahem, we’re college students, after all. Of course, we need to study hard and make progress every day." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Meng Xianjun rolled his eyes at Tang Ming, "Unlike some people who only know how to fool around all day."
"Exactly, exactly."
Shao Wuyou nodded repeatedly.
"Come on, you two dare to call me out? It seems like every weekend you guys are out partying... huh, you didn’t go out last night? That’s unusual."
Tang Ming looked at Meng Xianjun and Shao Wuyou suspiciously.
"Haha, they’re planning to enter the nationwide medical competition."
Hua Yingjie said with a smile.
"Nationwide medical competition? What’s that?"
Tang Ming was puzzled.
"The nationwide medical competition is a medical contest held once every decade among top universities. It’s said that the top ten in the competition get a chance to engage in academic exchanges with the world’s top schools, and the first place winner receives national support and is awarded the title of Young Medical King."
Hua Yingjie excitedly explained; this was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
With the title and honor of Young Medical King, he would become famous and it would greatly help in revitalizing the Heavenly Medicine Sect.
"Is that so? Sounds like some sort of school debate contest, kind of boring."
Tang Ming suddenly understood, lying on his bed with no interest at all.
"It’s definitely not. This is a super-large academic competition. Hundreds of universities from all over the country, tens of thousands of medical elite compete with each other, and the value is very high."
Hua Yingjie seriously explained.
"Value? Even these two guys, who know nothing, are joining the medical competition. What value can it have?"
Hearing this, Tang Ming almost burst out laughing.
"Hey, who are you looking down on here?"
Shao Wuyou looked at Tang Ming unhappily, "I’ll tell you, I’m the next Young Medical King, destined to open my own school and dominate."
"Nonsense! I’m the Youth Medical King. Once I get that title, I’ll be famous. Then, money, beauties, sports cars, mansions—anything I want, I’ll have!"
Meng Xianjun grinned foolishly.
"Haha, is this what you mean by value?"
Tang Ming looked at Hua Yingjie oddly.
"This... ahem, as long as they put in effort, it’s fine."
Hua Yingjie was embarrassed. These two weirdo roommates had no self-awareness.
"You guys do your thing; I’m gonna sleep."
Tang Ming yawned, puckered his lips in displeasure, closed his eyes, and thought of someone named Caidie.
Tang Ming was sure he had seen Caidie somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall it for the moment, and the person had a mysterious background, knew a lot about him, and even knew about Tang Cha and Sinking Moon. Who could it be?
Actually, Tang Ming had indeed met Caidie before, and Caidie had also seen Tang Ming at that time, although neither knew the other’s identity, especially Caidie.
If Caidie had known Tang Ming’s identity back then, she definitely wouldn’t have let him encounter so many dangers afterward, because Tang Ming was someone she cared about.
Caidie! Back in the day, Tang Ming accompanied Liu Gaoze to an auction held by a Martial Arts group, and it was there that Caidie made her grand entrance as a stunning auctioneer.
It was just that the whole thing had happened so long ago, and Tang Ming was too busy creating chaos at the time to remember Caidie.
Just as Tang Ming was pondering, his phone suddenly rang.
"Hmm?"
Tang Ming glanced at the phone and walked out; it was a call from Zhou Xiong.
"Hey, Director Zhou, what can I do for you?"
Tang Ming asked curiously as he reached the hallway.
"Tang, have you heard that the nationwide medical competition is about to start?"
Zhou Xiong asked with a chuckle.
"I just heard about it. Is there a problem?"
"Good that you’ve heard. I’ve already signed you up, so be sure to perform well."
Zhou Xiong said with a laugh.
"What? Who said I wanted to join this boring contest?"
Tang Ming’s eyes widened, annoyed at Zhou Xiong’s unilateral decision.
"You’re skilled in medical arts and in the medical field, why not sign up? Besides, this is for a mission."
Zhou Xiong spoke with a stern tone.
"Mission? What mission?"
Tang Ming’s expression slightly changed.
"Of course, the mission to get an opportunity for overseas exchange! As long as you secure a spot in the top ten of the medical competition, you’ll have a chance to go to a top university abroad for exchange. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, much easier than fighting for an exchange student spot at school."
Zhou Xiong earnestly explained.
"I almost forgot about this mission."
Tang Ming finally realized he still had tasks from the Dark Group while attending school.
"So, be sure to put on a good performance. I believe you can definitely get into the top ten, right?"
Zhou Xiong asked, not so confidently.
"I’m confident in my medical skills, but what’s the procedure for this medical competition?"
Tang Ming frowned, reluctant due to fear the competition might be tedious, making it uninteresting.
"The details are still being discussed, but the selection process within the school has already started. You should quickly review a bit, and I’ll do my best to help you secretly."
Zhou Xiong thought for a moment and cautiously replied.
"Nothing to prepare for; once I get the procedure down, my medical skills will surely get me through."
Tang Ming puckered his lips indifferently, full of confidence in himself.
"Stay humble. First, find out the specifics; I’ll expedite the arrangements."
Zhou Xiong reminded him and then hung up the phone.
"This is frustrating!"
Tang Ming looked at his phone helplessly, but school life was dull, so having something to do was actually pretty good!
Mainly because to hide the Huaxia Secret Technique, he didn’t dare to venture outside the school, fearing discovery by Martial Arts people, so he had to stay at the school, which was quite boring.
Back in the room, Tang Ming adjusted his clothes, "Ahem, guys, I’ve signed up for the medical competition too?"
"Huh, weren’t you just sneering about it before? How come after a phone call, you’re joining now?"
Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming in confusion.
"Yeah! Who called you just now? You seemed so disdainful before, and now you’ve changed so quickly!"
Shao Wuyou was also bewildered.
Hua Yingjie’s expression changed slightly; he knew his medical skills were not as good as Tang Ming’s. If Tang Ming participated, he wouldn’t have a chance to get the title of Young Medical King.
"I have no choice; I need an exchange student spot, so I have to get into the top ten."
Tang Ming shrugged helplessly, "I only need to make it into the top ten. As for the so-called Young Medical King, that’ll be up to Hua to fight for."
