At the end of each event, medals would be presented on the spot, and the winner of the 400-meter event was Xu Yishen from the Faculty of Biological Science. The runner-up was a female student from the Business Department, and the bronze medalist was a girl from the Environment Department.
None of the students from the Sports College won the prize, and the Geography Department was completely wiped out.
Such a result surprised both the audience and the contestants. Someone summarized a pattern, “The stronger the major, the more targeted it will be. Unpopular majors sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and the possibility of winning the prize is higher!”
Indeed, Yu Mingyu was one of the examples, he did not even finish the final 400 meters, and at the end of the race he was still sleeping standing at the beginning of the track.
Xu Yishen, on the other hand, returned to his seat in the C-183 Research Group with the gold medal in a happy mood.
His teammates got up and congratulated him.
Zhuo Feng hugged him and said with a smile, “You are really far-sighted, and you actually won the gold medal!”
Lin Manluo looked at the medal in his hand and said, “This gold medal is quite exquisitely designed.”
Xu Yishen said, “Two gold medals for 1 credit. I’m not sure if I will take first place in the next individual event. I remember that the individual gold medal can be given to teammates? If anyone needs it, I’ll give you this gold medal.”
Yue Xingwen leaned over to look at Ke Shaobin’s laptop and asked, “Has the schedule for the other events come out yet?”
Ke Shaobin said, “Just announced on the library’s forum. This morning is all track and field running, following after the 400-meter are 3,000 meters run, 200 meters hurdles, 50,000 meters marathon, and finally 4×800 meters relay.”
Due to the fact that the library had so many students with extraordinary abilities that they could even end the race in 3 seconds, the usual 50-meter dash and 100-meter run, which were common in sports meetings, were canceled and only 400 meters and 3,000 meters were retained.
According to the race schedule, the 50,000-meter marathon was lined up before the relay race. Yue Xingwen and Xu Yishen both signed up for the marathon event, and if they went to run the marathon, then they wouldn’t have the stamina to run the team relay again.
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and asked, “The team relay is going to be four people, so let’s discuss who would be better to send to participate?”
Zhuo Feng said, “Xingwen must be on it, right? The group acceleration skill works very well for all teammates.”
Xu Yishen said, “I can also go on, but the relay race needs to pass the baton to the teammates, and I can’t take the baton after I become a cell. I can only use mitosis to quickly displace, and if necessary, I can also use the DNA double helix to control people.”
Qin Lu whispered, “I can use plate movement and quickly switch places to the finish line. However, the Geography Department has been targeted too badly in the racing category, and I’m afraid that I might not be able to use the skill by then?”
Yue Xingwen laughed and said, “It’s okay, as long as the C-183 Research Group is played on the big screen, no matter who we are on, we will be targeted badly.”
Everyone: “…”
Xingwen’s words were right, after all, the name of the C-183 Research Group’s name was almost ‘well known’ in the library, and the thousands of floor strategy posts on the forum were all from them.
Everyone knew that they were strong, encountering them during the relay race, they would definitely prioritize their control skills towards them.
Liu Zhaoqing helplessly said, “Also, since no matter who is sent out, we will be targeted, so let’s just send the fastest combination. I suggest Xingwen, Pingce, Xu Yishne and Qin Lu go together.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lan Yarong, Lin Manluo, and Qin Miao have control skills, but the three girls didn’t run fast, relying solely on Yue Xingwen’s team acceleration alone might not be able to outrun other groups; They also didn’t have displacement skills.

Yue Xingwen looked at Xu Yishen and said, “Senior brother, how about we run casually in the marathon, directly out of the preliminaries stage, leaving strength for the team relay. I think it’s also difficult for us to take the prize for the 50,000 meters marathon running.”
Xu Yishen nodded his head in agreement and said, “En. The long-distance 50,000 meters running requires continuous displacement skills. Even if the Geography Department has switched places for 12 consecutive times, there is no way to move to the finish line. The Sports College’s students will have more advantage, they can step on the skateboard, pole vault or triple jump all the way to run 50,000 meters. It’s really difficult for the two of us to win the prize, let’s simply give up.”
“Then we will keep our physical strength to protect the team event.” Yue Xingwen paused, and asked Ke Shaobin, “Are the rules of the relay race that all the contestants can put their skills, or is it that the student who gets the baton can only use the skills?”
Ke Shaobin checked the notice on the library’s forum and said, “All students can use their skills.”
Yue Xingwen frowned and said: “This is troublesome, 10 teams run relay races at the same time. There will be 40 runners on the track, and in order to help their teammates get good results, others can also release skills to control opponents in other teams. If we run too fast at first, we will face the siege of other teams.”
Jiang Pingce quickly understood what he meant and said, “You mean, we should deliberately lag behind and reduce the hatred value in the beginning?”
Yue Xingwen said, “If we run too fast at the beginning, the 36 runners of the other 9 tracks will target us, and all kinds of control skills will come in turn, we can’t run even if we are gods.”
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, saying, “That is, show the enemy that we are weak and then make a move later?”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “That’s right. If we want to win, we can only counterattack at the last moment, only then can we win the championship.”
Zhuo Feng gave praise and said, “It makes sense. The 183 Research Group will definitely be targeted at the beginning. Let’s push the boat along the water, pretend to be controlled, slow down for a few seconds. If everyone finds that the 183 Research Group is lagging behind, naturally they won’t waste skills to deal with us, but control the fastest top runner. On the last lap, we’ll find a way to counterattack.”
Lin Manluo looked at Yue Xingwen curiously and said, “But if we fall too far behind at the beginning, it will be difficult to turn defeat into victory in the last lap, right? Does Xingwen have any good ideas?”
Yue Xingwen lowered his voice and told his teammates what he thought, and everyone gave a thumbs up.
The track and field races went on one after another, 800 meters and 3,000 meters were all over. After the 50,000 meters marathon, Yue Xingwen and Xu Yishen, who had registered for the race, were eliminated in the preliminaries stage.
Yue Xingwen did not feel regretful.
The tens of thousands of meters marathon was indeed difficult to compete for the championship with students from the Sports College. It was better to stabilize the team relay.
The rules for exchanging gold medals at the Sports Meeting were that they could exchange 2 gold medals for themselves for 1 credit in single/double events, or they could give their gold medals to a teammate to exchange for credits. For team events, on the other hand, could be exchanged for the entire Research Group, so that all members of the Research Group could receive credit bonuses.
Obviously, team events were more important.
In the 4×800 relay, Yue Xingwen wanted to try to hit the championship.
His strategy was a bit risky, but if it was executed smoothly, there was also a hope of winning the championship.
At 11:00 am, the familiar mechanical voice rang in everyone’s ears: “The next event will be the ‘4×800-meter team relay’. The contestants who registered in the relay race can sign up on the check in tablet.”
Yue Xingwen, Jiang Pingce, Xu Yishen and Qin Lu immediately pressed their fingers to the tablet computer next to their seats.
The fingerprint recognition was successful, and a line of information popped up in their tablet computers at the same time: “Research Group C-183, four contestants have been registered. Relay preliminary grouping is Group 11.”
There were nearly 4 teams that registered for the 4×800-meter relay, divided into 40 groups of 10 teams each for the preliminary round.
The mechanical voice continued to broadcast: “The rules of the relay race are read as below: 1. All contestants should stand according to the signs on the track, and the members of each baton need to arrange the order in advance and must not be disrupted; 2. Once the baton is released, it must be retrieved before the race can continue; 3. All students on the track are allowed to use skills during the race; 4. Relay race for 4×800-meter, each contestant needs to run two laps on the track to hand over the baton, handing over the baton after only one lap is considered a foul and will be disqualified.”
The baton must be relayed and had to be picked up to continue running. Qin Miao reminded them, “Everyone pay attention to the fact that History Department ‘Wine Cups’ skill can disarm in groups, forcing your baton to the ground and making it impossible to pick it up for 10 seconds.”
Yue Xingwen looked serious and said, “That is to say, if the other team has a student from the History Department, the group disarm skill will be used during the last lap of the sprint to delay 10 seconds and help the teammates to sprint to the finish line?”
Qin Lu asked, “Sister, does the skill of ‘Wine Cups’ also have to be read out to be considered effective?”
Qin Miao nodded and said, “Yes. So when you want to sprint on the last lap, Xingwen can mute the environment in advance, so that the skill of the History Department can’t be released.”
Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “Understood, Pingce is responsible for Pingce, and I will help Pingce to eliminate all interference in advance.”
Jiang Pingce said, “The race is about to start, let’s go to the field.”
The other teammates cheered the four people on.
The four came to the playground.
In the preliminary stage, 10 into 2, the elimination rate is still as high as 80%.
Seeing Yue Xingwen and the other three people, the students around them murmured, “Is it the C-183 Research Group?”
“Senior brother Xingwen, you guys are also here to run the relay ah?”
Yue Xingwen said politely, “Yeah, everyone be merciful later.”
Polite words, but when it really came to the competition stage, who would show mercy to whom?
Once the referee’s gunshot sounded, all kinds of range control skills really fell down in an overwhelming manner.
The first baton of Research Group 183 was Xu Yishen, who reacted extremely fast, and almost the moment the gunshot went off, he splitted into five replicas in place!
The Faculty of Biological Science’s ‘mitosis’ not only splitted replicas, but also allowed five replicas to spread to different locations to avoid attack or control skills. After all, the control skills released by the students have a range limit. As long as they did not control 5 Xu Yishen at the same time, and if any of Xu Yishen’s replicas was out of range, he could instantly transfer the body.
In fact, the mitosis skill could also be used as a ‘breaking away skill’.
Xu Yishen really got out of the first wave of control, and Yue Xingwen immediately turned on the ‘Fast as Lightning’ team acceleration skill, and all teammates could accelerate 5 times.
Xu Yishen walked like flying under the influence of acceleration, splitting all the way forward, only to see Xu Yishen’s silhouette all over the playground. Within half a minute, he finished two laps and handed the baton to Yue Xingwen, who was next in line.
Yue Xingwen took over the baton and continued to run wildly.
Unfortunately, he had no other displacement skills, only relying on 5 times acceleration, and he quickly fell behind those students who had displacement skills. Yue Xingwen was not in a hurry, after all, those students who ran in front were throwing skills at each other, either ‘you freeze me, or I stunned you’, he did not want to go to the front of the group in front to eat skills.
Yue Xingwen gave the relay baton to Qin Lu with a fifth place.
Qin Lu immediately switched places, 3 seconds a lap, 3 seconds the second lap, and in the blink of an eye, the baton was on Jiang Pingce’s hand.
Jiang Pingce overtook two people in a row in the last lap and finally qualified thrillingly as the second place in the group.
Ke Shaobin looked at the tacit cooperation of the four people and seriously analyzed, “On the surface, Xingwen and the others made it out because the top three controlled each other, giving the fourth place an opportunity. But in fact, Xingwen has already calculated the situation, right? He doesn’t use his ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ that can instantly teleport 200 meters.”
Zhuo Feng said, “The opponents in the preliminary round were not very strong, they didn’t need to use up too many skills.”
In the next round, the C-183 Research Group did the same thing again, and once again came second in the group and made it to the finals.
The audience immediately commented in succession, “Isn’t this senior brother Xingwen’s C-183 top student team? Seeing them running today, the results are not very good ah!”
“Their luck is not bad, they were second in the group for the preliminary and semifinal.”
“At this rate, the final will be dangerous. Among the four of them, the fastest is Qin Lu of the Geography Department. Once Qin Lu is controlled, they will not be able to keep even the top five, not to mention the second place!”
“Not necessarily, right? They must have a lot of skills left for the final ah, they still haven’t use the big move with the super long cooldown!”
The mechanical voice broadcasted again in their ears: “The 10 teams that have reached the final of the 4×800-meter relay race are announced below. For the contestants, please be prepared. Track 1, A-76 Research Group, team leader Yu Mingyu; Track 2, A-153 Research Group, team leader Qin Lang; Track 3, B-98 Research Group, team leader Chen Muyun; Track 4, C-183 Research Group, team leader Yue Xingwen!”
Yue Xingwen: “…”
Coincidentally, it was all old acquaintances ah!
The members of the Research Group who were read out quickly came to the playground to gather.
Yu Mingyu walked towards Yue Xingwen and said with a smile, “Xu Yishen can’t turn into a cell this time and lie on top of people, right?”
Yue Xingwen said helplessly, “That’s right, if he becomes a cell, he can’t take the baton.”
Qin Lan smiled and patted Yue Xingwen’s shoulder, “I will pay attention to you the whole time and let my teammates specifically stare at you to read the lecture notes.”
Yue Xingwen: “??”
Wait, do I have such a high hatred value? Dear brothers and sisters, please have mercy!
Thank you so so so much for your translation 💜💜💜💜💜
haha, it feels very good to see such camraderie! I love how everybody is just so caring to one another, just like a large and welcoming community 💖💖
