Happy Lunar New Year! 
Although there were thousands of contestants in the 400-meter event, the group preliminaries were well organized due to the library’s extremely advanced intelligent referee system. With each round of preliminaries taking no more than 20 seconds, the preliminaries were over in just one hour.
Only 2 out of a group of 10 people could qualify, and the elimination rate was as high as 80%.
After the big shuffle in the preliminary stage, the remaining 250 contestants from the preliminary stage were randomly divided into 25 groups for the next round.
After that, the rules of the competition were the same as the preliminary round, and 2 people would advance for each group. Only 50 of the 250 contestants could advance to the semi-finals.
Preliminaries -> First Match -> Semi-Final -> Final, thousands of contestants, eliminated 80% in a round. In the process, if they had a little bad luck, got targeted, controlled, they would not be able to enter the next round.
Therefore, resilience on the field was very important.
Students from the Geography Department were targeted badly in the preliminaries stage, and most were eliminated from the competition. Instead, students who were low-profile, unnoticeable majors unexpectedly qualified from the group.
Xu Yishen was very lucky in the preliminaries and semi-finals stage. He was divided into a group with relatively weak strength. He took advantage of the ‘low hatred value of the Faculty of Biological Science’ to directly mitosis and quickly displace to the finish line, and successfully made it to the finish line.
One hour later, the final for the 400-meter event was held.
The list of 10 people who made it all the way to the final appeared on the big screen.
Seeing the information on the big screen, Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin applauded excitedly and said, “Senior brother Xu has reached the final!”
Lin Manluo laughed and said, “If he continues to become a cell and lie on top of others, he can at least secure a second place, right?”
Jiang Pingce said indifferently, “That depends on whether his prediction is right, he has to pick the one most likely to win the championship from the whole group and lie on the other side to get second place. If he chooses the wrong one, he himself will be affected by the range control.”
In the final group hid many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and several familiar names appeared on the screen. This group had a lot of group control skills, if Xu Yishen chose the wrong target, controlled a little, then it was over.
It was really quite important to predict who was most likely to win the championship and hitched the ride.
Three minutes to go until the final.
Yue Xingwen began to analyze the list, “Track 1 is senior brother Yu Mingyu, a Geography Planning major at Kyoto University. He can reach the final because he did not directly use the plate movement skill of the Geography Department, but first used the Siberian Cold Current to freeze all the surrounding students, and then switch places to the finish line. As long as he goes out smoothly, he will definitely win the championship.”
Jiang Pingce said, “Yu Mingyu is from group A, the members of the entire Research Group of Group A will enjoy speed bonus and cooldown reductions. His skills will be faster than others, if he releases Siberian Cold Current at the same time as Qin Lu, then Qin Lu will be frozen first, right?”
Qin Lu nodded and replied, “That’s right, the skill reduction is fast, and the release speed is also faster. His cold current will reach the other students first, and if I meet him, I will definitely be controlled by him first.”
Initially, when choosing the Research Group, Yue Xingwen chose Group C for the purpose of having a point bonus for each examination. Group C is stronger in the team, because of the point bonus, everyone in the group will have a higher skill level than the students in other groups.
However, if it was a single PK, the points bonus of Group C would have little advantage, Group A had speed bonus and cooldown reduction, ensuring that it grabbed the first hand; Group B had a physical bonus and an invincible shield.
In theory, in the final, as long as Yu Mingyu released his skill first, he could definitely get to the finish line in 3 seconds to take the championship.
But could he release it?
Yue Xingwen continued to look at the big screen and analyzed, “Track 4 is Chen Muyun, Law Department, Group B. She can open the invincible shield and is immune to all attacks. If Chen Muyun is immune to Yu Mingyu’s Cold Current and counters by putting him into a prison, Yu Mingyu won’t reach the finish line.”
Jiang Pingce followed closely and said, “Track 5 is Liu Xiaoxiao of Binjiang Normal University, she is also in Group A, and also has the same skill reduction of the Research Group. Theoretically, her speed of release skills will not be slower than Yu Mingyu, if she reads out the lecture notes first, then everyone around will have to stand for punishment to listen to the lecture, and Yu Mingyu still can’t reach the finish line.”
Lin Manluo said, “Say, there is Zhou Lin from the Environment Department on track 8, she can open the range Lawn Purification, block the first wave of control type skills and then use the vines to tie up all the other students?”

Ke Shaobin said, “The girl from the Conservatory of Music also entered the final, what if she plays another <Tonight is Unforgettable> song again?”
Itjcu Wljbcljc rmgjamtfv tlr tfjv jcv rjlv, “Pc atja mjrf, atfgf jgf ralii wjpbgr remt jr atf Derlcfrr Gfqjgawfca, atf Jtfwlrags Gfqjgawfca, jcv Jtlcfrf Gfqjgawfca lc atf olcji gbecv. Pa’r cba mfgajlc ktb mjc gec ab atf olclrt ilcf lc atf fcv, gluta?”

The students who entered the final should not be underestimated, and it was really difficult to say whether Xu Yishen could take the prize or not.
The 3-minute preparation ended quickly. A familiar mechanical voice sounded on the playground: “The 400-meter finals are about to begin, take your positions, ready——go!”
As soon as the mechanical voice fell, a cold wind suddenly passed through the entire playground, mixed with snowflakes and hail rushing forwards——
Yu Mingyu really opened the Siberian Cold Current at the fastest speed!
His skill level was lower than Qin Lu’s, and the freezing range was only 20 meters, but at the moment, everyone was at the starting point. The range of 20 meters was enough for him to freeze other targets except himself.
The students who did not have time to run turned into ice sculptures!
Xu Yishen disappeared, he must have changed into a cell. The distance was too far away, and they could not see who he was lying on.
They thought that Yu Mingyu could directly use his plate movement to reach the end, but, almost the moment he released the Cold Current, Liu Xiaoxiao of the Normal University also said at the same time, “All students, class begin!”
Although Liu Xiaoxiao turned into an ice sculpture after saying this, but, when she said this, it meant that the class had begun, and the students must listen carefully.
So Yu Mingyu was punished by standing in place.
Being punished by standing, he could no longer use the displacement skill.
Zhou Jiayao of the Conservatory of Music was also from Group A Research Group. There was also a cooldown reduction. As Liu Xiaoxiao read her lecture notes, she blew <Tonight Is Unforgettable>. The result was that Yu Mingyu was controlled by the standing punishment and also controlled by sleep.
The audience in front row saw a weird picture——
Senior brother Yu Mingyu of Kyoto University, sleeping while standing up on the playground!
Ke Shaobin saw this through the enlarged screen, and couldn’t help but say, “I want to take a photo as a souvenir.”
As a student of Kyoto University, the experience of ‘sleeping by standing’ was definitely a first for Yu Mingyu!
Yu Mingyu of the Geography Department, Liu Xiaoxiao of the Normal University, Zhou Jiayao of the Conservatory of Music, and the three students of Group A at the moment of the start of the competition simultaneously put a wave of skills, freezing, punishment, sleep. And as a result, they controlled each other, and could not reach the end!
There were also classmates next to them who were controlled by their skills and turned into ice sculptures, punished by standing, and fell asleep.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and the frozen posture of several people was quite strange.
After the first wave of skills, only five people were controlled at the starting point, and five others were unaffected.
Among these five, Xu Yishen, on track 3, disappeared as soon as the race started; Chen Muyun from the Law Department on track 4 and the girls from the Business Department on track 6, both from group B, obviously escaped the first wave of control by relying on the Research Group ‘Invincible Shield’; Zhao Lin from the Environment Department on track 8, opened the Lawn Purification skill to release the control; Li Moran from the Chinese Department on track 9 used the ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ skill to release from the control and teleported to 200 meters away.
At present, among the four visible runners, Li Moran of the Chinese Department ran the farthest.
Halfway to the finish line, Li Moran opened the ‘Fast as Lightning’ acceleration skill, and he suddenly walked as if flying!
He changed the idiom dictionary and leveled up the ‘Fast as Lightning’ skill to full level. With 5 times the acceleration, he was getting closer and closer to the finish line!
At this time, everyone only saw the Environment Department’s girl suddenly sprang 3 vines from her hand. Those vines were like spiritual snakes with eyes, running forwards with a very fast speed to tie up the three people’s hands and feet!
The Chinese Department’s boy immediately opened the <Complete Book of Punctuation Marks> and directly threw out several ellipses.
The ellipses slowed down all movements. After the vines were slowed down, he quickly ran out before the vines could bind him, leaving the vines to grab an empty air.
At the same time, the boy threw out a row of question marks, so that the students who followed him were full of question marks and confused on the spot.
The audience saw the ‘???’ appeared on the heads of several contestants, immediately burst into laughter.
The control of the question mark, although strong, was unfortunately short.
Before the boy could run to the finish line, Chen Muyun suddenly opened a trial——
They saw an iron cage descend from the sky, covering the fastest boy head on!
The trial of the Law Department was a targeted trial, and the boy had just used his ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ skill before, and was locked up by the prison of the Law Department, which meant that he had no chance to be a champion.
The boy smiled wryly and shook his head.
Not far away, a few people who had sobered up from their question mark confusion continued to run wildly.
The Chinese Department’s student was locked up, the others still had a chance!
The girl from the Business Department directly threw a large amount of gold coins towards Chen Muyun, who was currently running the fastest. Chen Muyun was buried by the gold coins in the blink of an eye. The audience: “…”
What was it like to be buried with money?
If it was changed to reality, everyone was expected to wake up laughing in their dreams.
However, these gold coins could not be used as money in the library ah! Chen Muyun, who was buried in a pile of gold coins, wanted to vomit blood!
This was called the mantis catches the cicada, unaware of the siskin behind.
She only had time to shut off the fastest-running Chinese Department’s boy in front of her, but did not have time to do something to the Business Department’s girl behind her.
The girl quickly surpassed Chen Muyun and ran to the first place!
However, at this moment, everyone was surprised to find——
A shadow suddenly split from the prison holding the Chinese Department’s boy!
The boy was tall and had long legs, his hair was a very special chestnut-colored natural curls, his eyes were lighter. The mixed-race boy’s appearance was very handsome, and his face was still smiling. He looked back at Li Moran and said, “Thanks for your hardwork brother.”
Li Moran: “……”
You’ve been lying on top of me the whole fuckign way, and now that I’m in prison, are you going to leave me?
The students in the audience looked at each other.
After watching the race for half a day, they still didn’t know where he came from?
Someone soon responded, “He’s the one who disappeared from track 3, Xu Yishen from the Faculty of Biological Science!”
Someone with a question mark on his face asked, “How did he get out of prison?”
Immediately, a student from the Law Department replied, “The trial of our Law Department is a targeted trial. Just now senior sister Chen Muyun only used this skill to the Chinese Department’s Li Moran, so Xu Yishen is not a convicted prisoner. He should use mitosis to get out of the prison!”
The mitosis of the Faculty of Biological Science could instantly divide into several replicas and transfer the body to any location where the replicas were located at will. Since he was not the target of the trial, he could certainly get out of prison in this way.
Zhang Xiaonian said excitedly, “It seems that senior brother Xu has turned into a cell and is lying on Li Moran’s body!”
Ke Shaobin was puzzled, “But Li Moran was using Golden Cicada Shell to release the control. If he laid on Li Moran at the beginning, he would still be frozen when Li Moran released the control because they are not teammates, right? He will turn into a frozen cell and roll to the ground.”
Yue Xingwen laughed, “The target he chose at the beginning was not Li Moran, but Zhou Lin of the Environment Department!”
Lin Manluo’s eyes lit up and said, “That’s right, the Lawn Purification of the Environment Department is a range purification. As long as Zhou Lin opened the Lawn Purification when he followed Zhou Lin as a cell, he could also be purified. Then, when Zhou Lin released vines to bind Li Moran, he then became a cell and leaned over the vine, and along the vine, he could jump to Li Moran, who ran the fastest!”
Everyone carefully deduced Xu Yishen’s ‘possession’ process and they all sighed at senior brother Xu’s foresight!
First, he found the Environment Department’s girl that had a range purification to release from the first wave of control; Then, he jumped along the vines when the Environment Department’s girl extended the vines to tie the fastest runner.
The Law Department controlled the fastest runner and at this time, he finally used the mitosis and appeared!
Since Li Moran was less than 200 meters away from the finish line, Xu Yishen only needed to run the last 200 meters.
The crowd only saw the boy who ran in the front of the playground suddenly turned into five split bodies and sprinted collectively towards the finish line!
Other people were playing alone in the race.
Xu Yishen had five people in the race!
Chen Muyun from the Law Department climbed out of the pile of gold coins with difficulty, and it was no longer possible to catch up with the others.
Zhou Lin from the Environment Department could not cry and laugh—— She couldn’t tell which was Xu Yishen’s real body and which was the replica. Her hands weren’t that long and she couldn’t reach them if she wanted to tie up five people at the same time!
The girl from the Business Department ran and scattered gold coins all the way. The whole playground was sprinkled with gold by her, and she also opened the ‘Financial Storm’ skill, so that all the gold coins instantly turned into foam, blocking the way of the students behind her.
If she couldn’t catch up with the first place, she could also take second place!
In the blink of an eye, one of the five Xu Yishen sprinted to the finish line.
The familiar mechanical voice sounded on the playground: “The champion for the single 400-meter event, C-183 Research Group, Faculty of Biological Science, Xu Yishen, with a final time of 10.01 seconds.”
Everyone: “…”
Before the competition started, everyone thought the champion would be among the students from the Geography Department or the Sports College.
Who would have thought that the student from the Faculty of Biological Science actually turned into a cell to hitch a ride, and when the possessed student was under control, he did not hesitate to abandon the ride halfway, split and run, and took the champion title in one breath?!
Many people in the audience complained: “Can you still play like this?”
“It’s just luck!”
Yue Xingwen saw senior brother Xu’s face on the big screen, and said with a smile, “Senior brother is very witty ah.”
Xu Yishen could change into a cell, but once he chose the wrong target to hitch the ride, he would immediately be controlled by the skill and turn into a frozen cell or a sleeping cell.
He relied not on luck, but on the precise analysis and rational use of the skills of his fellow contestants.
This championship was well deserved!
Amazing! Kinda shameless, but amazing! 👏👏🤣
He is from C-183 research group, of course, he’s super smart!
Thank you for your translation 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Amazing HAHAHA, very witty indeed.
Thanks for the chapter!!!
LETS GO 183 RESEARCH GROUP
