Some people recognized Nan Yan as “Random Name”.
After all, when she appeared in esports competitions before, her face became deeply imprinted in the minds of esports fans.
At first glance, some didn’t react, but within seconds, they recognized her. As the first exclamation erupted, more and more people identified Nan Yan. In the multimedia classroom, a chorus of voices shouted in unison:
“Goddess Yan!”
“Goddess Yan!”
“Goddess Yan!”
Old Madam Qin wore a puzzled expression. “Are they calling our Yanyan?”
Qin Shiyu nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the big screen. “Yes, yes! Wow, Yanyan looks really beautiful. From this camera angle, it’s almost making me cry from how gorgeous she is!”
“Why are they calling her Goddess Yan?”
Old Madam Qin still didn’t quite understand. Gaming competitions and such were far removed from her world, and she had no prior exposure to them.
Qin Shiyu quickly took out her phone and found the information she had previously looked up related to Nan Yan’s last competition. She explained to Old Madam Qin, “Grandma, Yanyan used to be the temporary team captain of AEG. She led professional esports players to participate in competitions and even won the championship!”
Old Madam Qin’s eyes lit up. “Yanyan is really amazing!”
Qin Shiyu nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes!”
“Ah, why is it that even though we’re all human, Yanyan can be so outstanding!”
She was skilled in medicine, good at gaming, always ranked first in her class, and knowledgeable about computers! It was truly incomparable.
Sitting in the audience, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen gazed at the girl on the screen with different emotions amidst the deafening cheers.
Wu Yue was also overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the live audience and couldn’t help muttering, “Oh my goodness, Young Master, Miss Nan has so many fans!”
Qin Lu’s eyes were gentle, and a fond smile played on his lips. “She’s very exceptional.”
Exceptional to the point where he couldn’t help but want to keep her hidden away!
However, he couldn’t do that.
The young girl had her own path, and he could walk alongside her, but he couldn’t interfere with the route she wanted to take.
Many of the spectators who came to watch weren’t gamers, so they didn’t recognize Nan Yan.
On the contrary, the enthusiasm of these fans made them frown in annoyance. The National Computer Science Competition was an important competition, not a place for this fan culture!
Some of the audience members who were initially amazed by Nan Yan’s stunning appearance became resistant to her due to the random shouting of fans. Soon, someone began to hush them and urged them to be quiet.
Inside the computer classroom, Nan Yan, preparing for the next round, was unaware of what was happening outside. As the competition began, the live broadcast on the big screen only showed all the participating students focused on the competition.
Nan Yan finished answering all the questions with ease, then grew somewhat bored as she waited for the competition time to end. An hour and a half later, she was the first to submit her answers and left the classroom.
Outside, Zhang Lingxian saw her come out and hurriedly asked, “Yanyan, how did it go?” Although he knew she would definitely advance, he couldn’t help but be nervous and wanted to hear her confirmation.
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, “We’ll know the results when they announce the qualifiers in a little while.” Zhang Lingxian:
Couldn’t he find out a bit earlier?
Half an hour later, the results of the qualifiers were announced. As expected, Nan Yan’s group, Group Three, advanced.
People who were closely related to Nan Yan were delighted by the result, and even the fans in the audience couldn’t help but get excited.
After the qualifying teams came out, they all headed towards the multimedia classroom. The host took the stage, gave an official speech, explained the rules, and officially announced the start of the National Youth Computer Science Competition Finals.
The ten teams were divided into five groups, with each group having two teams compete against each other. The winning team would proceed to the third round.
The third round was the showdown. It followed a challenge format, with the first team challenging the second team drawn by lots. The winner would stay, and the next group would challenge them. This continued until only one team remained.
The atmosphere at the live competition was intense, and even the spectators could feel the strong competitive spirit in the air.
Unfortunately, Nan Yan’s group drew the first group for their match. Nan Yan received a signal from the host and calmly said, “It’s our turn to go on.”
With that, she was the first to take the stage.
Nan Yan’s facial features were stunning,
She exuded an aloof and distant aura, carrying a kind of high-class aloofness. Her beauty was strikingly dangerous and captivating, enough to draw the attention of everyone at that moment.
After a few seconds of silence in the audience, there was a chorus of amazed exclamations.
“The young lady is really beautiful, I’m in love!”
“Seeing her in person, she looks even better than the projections, she’s so beautiful!”
“She has such a great presence, so charming!”
“Mom, I think I’m in love…’
“In three seconds, I need to know everything about her!”
Under the impact of Nan Yan’s beauty, who could remember the earlier anger directed at her because of her esports fans? People in the audience were now singing her praises.
When all of Nan Yan’s classmates had taken the stage, she calmly spoke: “I am Nan Yan, the team leader of Zhide High School for this competition.”
With her clear and melodious voice, the boys in the audience went wild. The introductions of the other team members were almost drowned out by the cheers.
Qin Shiyu couldn’t help but cover her forehead and murmured softly, “Yanyan is too good at attracting attention. I wonder how many rivals she’ll attract for my big brother in the future!”
Old Madam Qin looked proud and said, “With your big brother around, she won’t be interested in anyone else!”
Qin Shiyu realized that her grandma was right. With a big brother as outstanding as him, there’s no need to worry about others trying to make a move.
On the stage, the competition had officially begun. Despite the noise in the audience, it didn’t affect the concentration of the competitors on stage.
Two computers were placed back-to-back in the center of the stage. The competition consisted of three rounds.
The first round was a buzzer round.
Whoever answered the most questions correctly with the highest accuracy would win. Nan Yan instructed Feng Tianji and the others, “The first round covers the basics. You can distribute yourselves freely, but don’t push too hard.
Accuracy is the most important.”
“Team leader, aren’t you going up?”
Nan Yan smiled faintly. “I’m giving you a chance to show your skills and, at the same time, I’ll check the effectiveness of your training.”
The three of them:
Suddenly, the pressure became overwhelming!
But to avoid making Nan Yan think they couldn’t handle it, the three of them encouraged each other and then sat in front of the computers to start the competition.
In the first round, Nan Yan didn’t participate. The participants from the two schools engaged in an intense battle.
The round ended with a score of 46 to 44, with the opponent narrowly winning the first game.
The score was very close, and with just ten more questions, the outcome might have been different.
“Team leader, we’re sorry, we lost.”
The three of them stood before Nan Yan, feeling ashamed and self-blaming.
Losing in the first round was tough on them.
Nan Yan clapped her hands and reassured them, “It’s already quite good. We were only two points behind. Don’t be discouraged.”
“We still have two more rounds to go, and we can make a comeback..”
