Chapter 461: How Many Languages Do You Hope For Me to Know?
“Oh my gosh, Zi Yi is so arrogant!”
“Could this be considered as Zi Yi openly setting herself against Murong You?”
“The third canteen is located right outside the School of Foreign Languages. Zi Yi even dares to head over to her territory and compete with Murong You.”
“Murong You is a top student in the School of Foreign Language. I heard that she is fluent in several different languages and Zi Yi is too overconfident.”
“I’m looking forward to the showdown. My goddess is never afraid of anyone. Murong You, show her your capabilities!”
“I like Zi Yi’s frank and candid personality.”
“Why hasn’t Murong You replied to her message? Could it be that she hasn’t seen it?”
“Even if she hasn’t seen it, the people around her should already be aware of it. Don’t tell me she doesn’t dare to accept the challenge?”
“The person above, what kind of joke are you saying? How can our Youyou cower?”
“Since that’s the case, why hasn’t she replied?”
…
“Student Zi… you actually dared to challenge Murong You?”
When Zi Yi was typing, the male student secretly took a peek at her phone. The moment he saw her logging into the forum, he hastily took out his phone and logged in at the same time.
By the time he saw the two messages Zi Yi had tagged Murong You, his eyes widened in shock.
“Why can’t I issue her a challenge?”
Murong You did not immediately send a reply, but Zi Yi did not mind either. She put away her phone and stepped on the skateboard as she continued heading forward.
She believed that as long as Murong You replied, the people she would meet along the way would happily inform her about it.
Sure enough, not long after, one of the female students loudly said to her, “Student Zi, Student Murong You has replied.”
Another female student added. “Student Murong You has agreed to the challenge.”
Zi Yi waved at them, which was considered a response. Following that, she continued skating on her skateboard.
Very soon, the news of the competition between her and Murong You was spread throughout the entire M.Uni.
Even Dou Xiangling knew about it.
Dou Xiangling’s call came through when Zi Yi had arrived at the Archaeology Department.
“Yiyi, you’re really going to compete with Murong You from the Foreign Language Department?”
“That’s right. It just so happens that there are plenty of people coming over to me to make their sense of presence known. I’ll just make an example out of Murong You to make them retreat.”
Dou Xiangling blanked out momentarily before she asked, “Yiyi, how many languages do you know?”
Zi Yi had never shown anyone that she was knowledgeable in other languages and neither did she choose any lessons from that school Dou Xiangling was a little worried.
Zi Yi smiled and said, “How many languages do you hope for me to know? I’ll know them all.”
Dou Xiangling was speechless, and she laughed shortly after. “I’ll accompany you in the afternoon. I just so happen to be free to join in and observe from the crowd.”
Zi Yi responded with a grin and suggested. “I heard that there are a few delicious dishes served at the canteen there. Don’t eat your lunch yet, we can visit the canteen there to try out those dishes.”
Dou Xiangling could not help but laugh at what she said and joked. “Don’t tell me you decided to compete with Murong You in that canteen because you wanted to try the dishes there?”
She was originally curious as to why Zi Yi had set the location at the canteen. As it turns out, she merely wanted to try out the food there.
Zi Yi did not think there was any problem with her plans. “You’re right.”
Dou Xiangling smiled and they chatted for a while more before hanging up the phone.
By the time Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling made their way to the School of Foreign Language in the afternoon, the entire canteen was filled with people.
Those who were unaware of the situation would even think that a celebrity was visiting.
It could be said that M.Uni students were not especially interested in celebrities. Even if they came, there would not be such a grand situation.
The moment they saw Zi Yi arriving, all of them excitedly made way for her and Dou Xiangling to enter.
It was supposedly lunchtime right now, but the students in the canteen were all just standing there and waiting, instead of queuing up for food.
The entire canteen was flooded with people. Other than students, there were also many teachers and people from the Student Union who were obviously here to join in the crowd.
Even Nangong Yu was present.
At that moment, Murong You was standing at the entrance and the people around her had automatically made space for her.
After Zi Yi made her way inside, both of them made eye contact.
Two seconds later, Murong You looked away and spoke in a tone that made her appear to be considerate of her junior. “Since Junior Zi plans to compete with me, I shall not make things difficult for you either. We’ll compete using the universal language.”
“No need for that.” Zi Yi looked at her. “We’ll compete in the languages that you know.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, the people around her could not help but whisper.
“Zi Yi is too arrogant. Murong You was prepared to give her a handicap and yet, she doesn’t appreciate it at all. Isn’t she even afraid of losing face later when she loses to Murong You.”
“I wonder where her confidence stems from?”
“Perhaps she might really be fluent in several different languages?”
“How is that possible? Who has ever heard that she knows how to speak different languages?”
…
Murong You glanced at the indifferent Zi Yi and sneered deep down. On the surface, she said, “Since you don’t need the handicap, then forget it.”
She then continued to ask. “So how are we going to compete?”
“We’ll compete on oral fluency and adaptability.” After Zi Yi said that, she looked around the surroundings and asked, “Who is good at foreign languages and also has knowledge on economics?”
There were many people who were fluent in foreign languages, but there were not many who were also knowledgeable about economics.
Nangong Yu stood out at this moment. “Me.”
Zi Yi glanced at him and said, “You can’t.”
Nangong Yu could not understand why. “Why not?”
“She has a crush on you. She will definitely bear a grudge if you say I won against her. I don’t have that much spare time to play this boring game with her.”
Zi Yi’s words had simply exposed Murong You’s feelings to the public. She felt ashamed and annoyed at the same time. However, she peeked towards Nangong Yu with some feelings of expectation.
Nangong Yu retreated without saying anything, which showed his attitude.
Murong You’s heart sank. She had never been humiliated as such in her life and her eyes reddened. She subconsciously clenched her fists.
“Then how should we compete?”
No matter how they were to compete, she would make Zi To embarrass herself today.
Zi Yi saw Murong You’s expression and the corner of her lips curled up. “How about this, for the sake of fairness, we shall directly contact the university professors in the countries of these languages and we will then communicate with them over the phone.”
“Si… Has Zi Yi gone crazy?”
The moment she said that, the majority of the crowd felt that she must have gone crazy.
“Student Zi, do you know the consequences if you were to connect with foreign university professors?”
“If you are unable to converse with them, you will be embarrassing yourself on an international scale.”
“That’s right. You’re too rash.”
Murong You felt that Zi Yi did it on purpose. She was only a freshman and yet, she dares to converse with university professors of other countries? Moreover, she wanted to speak with professors from three different countries? She was simply overestimating her capabilities.
What’s more, who does she think she is? Just because she wanted to invite university professors into their competition, would she be able to do so?
“It should be early in the morning right now in those countries. Student Zi, are you playing a joke? If you don’t dare to compete with Murong You, just tell us straight out.”
Other people were all criticizing Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling was upset about it. She walked over to Zi Yi and said, “Yiyi, you can get Fourth Uncle to help with inviting the professors to participate from these three countries..”
