The girl in the photo had a particularly big smile that was sunny and bright.

The boy was standing beside the girl. He was also smiling, but there seemed to be mischief in his eyes.

They were equally youthful, full of life and energy.

If one didn’t look closely, one wouldn’t even notice. The boy’s hand was slightly lifted as if he wanted to grab the girl, but the photo had frozen the scene. He couldn’t grab her.

This missed chance would continue for a lifetime.

The next day, Sheng Yang came to the medical school for lessons as usual. She had been coming here very often recently. Academician Zhao was very helpful to her research, and of course, it was also because of Yi Juncheng.

In Fang Duo’s words, she liked Yi Juncheng’s face very much. Looking at his face was pleasing to the eye. Whether it was reading, learning, memorizing, or scientific research, her efficiency for everything would be higher.

Someone had texted her before class, saying they were coming to see her.

Sheng Yang sent her address without thinking.

Before class, she was still thinking about other things. She felt that Imperial Capital University’s education could no longer satisfy her needs. Even if there was Academician Zhao, it would not help much.

In addition, she still had the capacity to take up extra workload. She wanted to take the challenge of going for a third degree. Maybe even a fourth.

She would never want to learn less. That would only limit her abilities.

Hence, she looked for Chancellor Liao. When Chancellor Liao heard this, he told her very seriously, “For ordinary students, a double degree is enough—more than enough, even. Therefore, I can’t set this precedent with you.”

Sheng Yang was silent.

Chancellor Liao placed his hands behind his back and squeezed them a little tightly. On the one hand, he did not want to let go of such a good talent, but on the other hand, he was a little conflicted. The humble Imperial Capital University could no longer accommodate this great goddess. In order for Sheng Yang to develop better, he should tell her the truth.

Therefore, Chancellor Liao didn’t hesitate for long before asking, “Do you know Lanca?”

When he spoke, his heart was still heavy. Even his tone was heavy.

He cherished talents, but he was also narrow-minded and wanted to keep Sheng Yang at Imperial Capital University.

Sheng Yang shook her head.

“Lanca is located on the border between Country Y and Country D. It’s a special place. It’s home to the most advanced equipment in the world, and talents who are the best of the best, the most intelligent, and well-rounded—like you.”

Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow. “Even with Mensa’s IQ, they’re still not the top?”

She had already surpassed Mensa and its president.

Chancellor Liao patted Sheng Yang’s shoulder and chuckled. “Lil Sheng Yang.”

He stopped calling her by just her name, which meant that he was putting Sheng Yang on an equal footing. “Mensa is an organization that’s willing to be evaluated and exposed, but there are always some people like you who only want to study and do research in peace. They’ve hidden in the dark.”

Sheng Yang smiled. “It sounds like this place will be to my liking.”

Birds of a feather flock together.

It was rare for her to smile with such genuine longing.

Chancellor Liao sighed. He didn’t know if telling Sheng Yang about that place was the right or wrong move.

This was because there was a student who was quite impressive previously. There was nothing else he could learn at Imperial Capital University, so he told the student about the existence of Lanca.

The student went off in high spirits.

However, he never returned…

He went insane.

A man who had always been invincible in the world went to Lanca and became mediocre. In fact, he had become a bottom-feeder that everyone could step on. Besides, there weren’t only those who were good at studies in that place but also those who were good at other things, such as fighting, shooting, and even bullying.
