Chapter 379: No. 1
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Dean Ge, congratulations to the students of your college in advance for taking No. 1 again…”
As soon as the list was refreshed, the staff congratulated Dean Ge in advance.
Other people beside him also echoed it.
While talking, they glanced at the center of the big screen. The list had been refreshed, and they could clearly see the contents.
They were suddenly speechless.
Dean Ge’s complacent smile suddenly disappeared.
The other people clamoring to congratulate him also suddenly quietened down.
The lobby on the first floor of the Physics laboratory fell into an unprecedented weird silence.
Dean Jiang, Zhou Ying, and the others were walking out, both of them in deep thoughts.
A teacher beside him felt the abnormal quietness behind him and paused. He glanced behind him and completely froze. “Dean Jiang… Erm… Student Qin Ran… has entered…”
Upon hearing this, Dean Jiang paused. He suddenly thought of something and turned back at the same time as Zhou Ying.
He saw the big screen in the center at a glance.
The lobby list showed the 1st to 10th places.
Both Dean Jiang and Zhou Ying could clearly see the black bold letters on it.
No. 1: Qin Ran, Beijing University, 300
No. 2: Xu Wanchen, University A, 287
…
Everyone’s eyes were on the first line of words.
No. 1: Qin Ran, Beijing University, 300
“Dr. Zhou.” Dean Jiang’s whole body was stiff. “I… Did I see wrongly… 1st place, who’s the 1st place? How many points?”
He felt like he might be dazzled.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to see Qin Ran in the 1st place, and how could she have gotten full marks?
Song Luting had scored 296 in March.
There had been a huge commotion at that time as well.
But now, this score was even more arrogant…
“Qin Ran.” Staring at the name and score fixedly, Zhou Ying reacted and said word by word, “300, full marks.”
He exchanged glances with Dean Jiang.
Before that, both of them had strongly believed that: “Qin Ran will have no problem in the written exam and will enter the 40th place.”
But right now.
She was indeed a finalist, and her name was in the top 50, but it was in the 1st place, and she had even scored unprecedented full marks.
This matter seemed about to explode…
At the same time, other people in the hall also reacted.
The Physics laboratory’s staff, as well as the teachers of several universities, looked at the ranking, dumbfounded.
Especially Dean Ge, who was staring at the 300 points in a daze.
Bold script, clear words.
After a weird silence, like boiling water, everyone in the hall completely tumbled over.
“How could it be?”
“Did they write the score wrongly?”
“…”
Everyone, including Dean Ge, guessed this way, but all of them knew… the possibility of making a mistake on the score was almost non-existent.
Everyone exchanged glances.
“What’s the matter with Beijing University’s freshmen this year? Aren’t they too abnormal?” A laboratory member who knew Song Luting couldn’t help but exclaim, “Song Luting trained for a few months before the assessment, but didn’t she just enter school?”
This result dropped a bomb on the senior students in the entire Physics laboratory.
In order to restore his reputation, even Xu Wanchen had been taken out when he didn’t need to participate in the assessment. But in the end, he was still pressed to the ground by Beijing University’s Freshman King!

Dean Ge’s expression was dark when he saw this result.
Without saying a word, he walked out of the laboratory. The group of doctors who followed him exchanged glances, and someone hesitantly said, “Qin Ran scored full marks in her college entrance examination as well. Her theoretical results have always been good, but the laboratory assessment theory is only the first selection and isn’t important. We’ll still have to see tomorrow’s experiment. In this regard, Xu Wanchen has been studying for two years. Our school has a lot of resources, and he will definitely save the situation.
“Also… I heard that Qin Ran has never entered the laboratory… Tomorrow’s experiment will definitely be a certain degree of difficulty for her.”
The others nodded and agreed.
There was no joke about this matter.
The theoretical examination was just a pass for the experimental assessment. The Physics laboratory still focused on hands-on experiments.
According to previous probability, at least 30 out of the top 50 would then be wiped out.
Of course, this person only said that the experiment would be somewhat difficult for her. Obtaining the 1st place in the written examination already demonstrated enough of her strength.
Naturally thinking of this, Dean Ge’s expression gradually eased.
He took out his phone to call Xu Wanchen.
In University A’s laboratory and doing his own experiment, Xu Wanchen picked up the call. “Dean Ge?”
“Prepare well for the test and assessment tomorrow, do your best,” Dean Ge sat in the car and said while looking out of the window.
University A had specially taken Xu Wanchen out, and if Qin Ran stepped on him in theory and experiment, he would be embarrassed in the research institute.
At least one of the two had to be pulled back…
Xu Wanchen was fascinated by the experiment and hadn’t been very concerned about the assessment. But upon hearing Dean Ge’s words, his desire to win was aroused. “Okay, Dean Ge. I happened to study an experiment with my teacher. I didn’t intend on using it for such trivial things like the assessment…”
Dean Ge heaved a sigh of relief. “Which level?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow.” Xu Wanchen threw an electronic board aside and said in a confident tone, “I won’t let you down.”

On the other side.
Zhou Ying and Dean Jiang returned to the Beijing University office in a daze.
The news of Qin Ran obtaining 1st place had spread in the Physics Department.
The Physics Department’s professors didn’t expect this result.
They held an overnight meeting.
“This time, our Beijing University achieved great success in the written test, especially Qin Ran.” Dean Jiang smiled, his eyes bursting with palpitations.
Qin Ran had brought them too much surprise.
Turning the pen in his hand, Zhou Ying looked serious. “She passed the written test, but we can’t stop here. Tomorrow’s experiment is the focus, but I don’t know if Qin Ran has mastered the experiment…”
Speaking of experiments, a professor from the Nuclear engineering Department suddenly said, “Qin Ran seems to be doing a C-level experiment.”
“C-level experiment?” Zhou Ying sat upright. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, she asked me a question about a C-level experiment.” The doctor pressed his glasses and narrowed his eyes. “I don’t know the specifics…”
Several other Nuclear engineering doctors also raised their hands and indicated that Qin Ran had indeed asked them questions about nuclear engineering.
Dean Jiang and Zhou Ying exchanged glances.
“If that’s the case, then Qin Ran won’t have a problem entering the laboratory.” Dean Jiang felt relieved. The C-level experiment was only the lowest threshold for the assessment.
Now, Dean Jiang didn’t hope for her to obtain 1st place. Regardless of whether her score could exceed University A, he only hoped for her to enter the laboratory.
Nothing else mattered.

Ting Lan.
Tomorrow was the final test. Qin Ran didn’t bother experimenting and just sat on the sofa, playing mobile games with her eyebrows lowered. Cheng Juan leaned against her, his hand resting lazily on a pillow, holding his phone in his other hand, as he talked to Qin Ling on a game page.
One was playing games, the other was chatting. Both were very calm.
Opposite, Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng, sitting upright, started fidgeting.
“It’s 8 pm already?” Old Master Cheng glanced at the time on his phone and urged Cheng Wenru. “Hurry up and ask them about their assessment results. Has Ran Ran passed?”
“Okay.” Cheng Wenru was sitting with her legs crossed in a very decent way.
Taking out her phone, she found a number, checked the time, and dialed directly.
In the morning, Cheng Mu had told Old Master Cheng that Qin Ran had gone to take the experimental exam for the first time, and Old Master Cheng had almost suffered a heart attack.
The Cheng family was very powerful, so Old Master Cheng had asked the butler to find out what happened at the laboratory. In the afternoon, he received news that Qin Ran’s name had been a mistake.
He was so furious that he called to scold Zhou Shan.
Zhou Shan said that Qin Ran would definitely pass, which appeased his anger.
But he didn’t say anything else. Although he had gotten Zhou Shan’s affirmative answer, Old Master Cheng was still very uneasy.
He had only eaten a few bites of dinner and had stayed here the whole day.
After Cheng Wenru knew about this, she also put aside the things at hand and came over.
In the eyes of the major families, the Physics laboratory assessment was more important than the college entrance examination and was related to a person’s future.
Cheng Wenru had failed the medical laboratory at 168 points that year, and even Old Master Cheng couldn’t save her.
After dialing the phone, Cheng Wenru immediately asked about Qin Ran’s results for the written examination.
The person on the other end of the phone paused, and then said in a fumble, “She passed. Of course, she did. But it was a little unexpected.”
“What?” Cheng Wenru tightened her fingers around the phone and slightly frowned.
