Chapter 760: Jijing Island, Mysterious Materials
It had been 15 years since the first International Physiology Competition. Now, it was the most prestigious competition in the entire medical field. Every year, 118 teams took part in the competition. Of those, seven would advance to the finals on Jijing Island.
Other than the team from Capital University School of Medicine, there were teams from Capital Medical University, Capital University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ming City A University School of Medicine, and more.
The highest ranking attained by the seven local teams was nine. Usually, the best ranking they could get was more or less in the twenties range. Now that Gu Mang had appeared, they would surely send her for the competition.
Putting aside her helping the school win glory…
This was definitely a very good learning opportunity for Gu Mang as well.
The competition was held in Jijing Island! It was the Mecca of the academic field!
When Senior Feng heard that Gu Mang was not participating in the competition, he was slightly taken aback. After he regained his senses, he asked, “Junior, what’s going on?”
Gu Mang opened the bottle cap and took a sip. “Professor Yang told me about it, but I don’t want to participate in it.”
“You don’t want to participate in it?!” The other two seniors raised their eyebrows. After a while, they took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, “Don’t you know how many people would kill to participate?”
Gu Mang licked her lips and laughed. “Let someone else have that opportunity.”
“Junior, you have to reconsider!”
One of the seniors was more anxious than she was herself. He dragged a chair over to her. “Junior, do you think the people in this lab are impressive?”
Another senior elbowed him and said in disdain, “Why would anyone compliment themself?”
“Don’t interrupt!” The senior who had approached her glared at him.
Gu Mang straightened one of her legs and leaned back languidly. Propping up her arms on the table, she exposed her wrists slightly.
Her posture was languid and carefree.
Facing the three guys, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Pretty impressive.”
“Yes!” The senior nodded his head. “In such an impressive lab, only Senior Feng has been to that competition!”
Another senior added, “And you are still saying that you want to give up this opportunity to someone else. Don’t you think that’s infuriating?”
His gaze was almost accusatorial .
Gu Mang remained silent.
Senior Feng said, “Junior, this competition offers you many learning opportunities that you cannot get in school…”
Knock, knock.
Just then, there were two knocks on the door. Their attention shifted.
Upon seeing Yang Tianming who was standing by the door, the seniors immediately stood up. “Professor Yang.”
Yang Tianming smiled and nodded. “I’m looking for Gu Mang.”
“Oh, okay.” The seniors glanced at their big boss junior.
It was obvious that Professor Yang had come to persuade her to join the competition. However, they had spent so much effort on persuading her to no avail. Professor Yang would probably get the same outcome.
Gu Mang put down her bottle and walked to the door.
…
At the end of the corridor there was a small balcony.
Gu Mang no longer looked languid. She said concisely, “Professor Yang, I’m not joining the competition.”
If the competition was held somewhere else, she might have considered it.
Jijing Island.
The corners of the girl’s lips were slightly pursed.
Hearing the same answer from her, Yang Tianming choked.
After regulating his emotions, he passed a piece of folded white paper to her. “Take a look at this first.”
Gu Mang paused for two seconds before taking it from him.
It was a normal A4 paper. Brand new. When she unfolded it, there was information about Jijing Island scribbled on it messily. It was handwritten and in a rush too.
It was difficult to believe that information on Jijing Island had not leaked at all given how advanced technology was now. Clearly, the abilities of the people on the island were terrifying. All the information they could get was based on the memory of people who had attended the competition previously.
Participants also had to sign a confidentiality agreement.
She lifted an eyebrow at that.
Professor Yang had really given his all. He was telling her all this even though she was not a member of the competition team yet. Gu Mang looked at the paper with her head slightly tilted.
Seeing this, Yang Tianming could not help but sigh. “The team that clinches first place in the competition earns the right to study at the Jijing Special Institute for two years. It is something like an exchange program. The teaching quality and medical facilities there are at least 10 times better than ours!”
