The C-183 Research Group won the championship, which was also expected by many students. This team was really strong and it was hard to break through their defense to shoot a goal smoothly. After so many games, only 5 balls were successfully shot into 183’s goal, and all of them were successfully shot only when the opponent tried to control Jiang Pingce.
The gap between the two goalkeepers was too big. The goalkeeper of the C-183 could not only change the trajectory of the ball, so that the ball deviated from the course and could not enter the goal, but also shot from a distance and shot the ball into the opponent’s goal.
Could goalkeepers from other teams do it? They couldn’t!
So everyone lost convincingly. After the competition, students from the B-110 Research Group came forward to shake hands with them, “Congratulations!”
“It seems that you have four happy occasions today!”
Yue Xingwen said politely, “Thank you.”
The award ceremony took place right on the playground, and the 12 members of the Research Group 183 stood on the podium together. There was no award presenters, no flowers, and a glittering medal automatically appeared on their necks.
After the award, Ke Shaobin greeted everyone actively, “Let’s take a group photo!”
Yue Xingwen said, “Didn’t you take a group photo before the game?”
Ke Shaobin replied, “We didn’t win the prize at that time, but now, everyone is holding the gold medal as a souvenir!”
This suggestion was immediately approved by the teammates. Twelve people quickly lined up in two rows, Xiao Tu stood in front of them to take photos, and Ke Shaobin said, “Let’s all pick up the gold medal with our right hands!”
Everyone did so.
In the finished photo, the students picked up the gold medal neatly, smiling, and Ke Shaobin was very satisfied with the final photo effect and said, “I will sort out the photos and send them to everyone’s tablet in a group, so you can look at them anytime.”
He was just about to put away Xiao Tu, when Qin Lu suddenly said, “Can I take a photo alone with my sister?”
Of course, Ke Shaobin would not refuse, “No problem!”
The twin sisters stood together and took an intimate group photo, and the four girls followed and took a ‘sister photo’ with the same action, and Liu Zhaoqing made a joke, “Why don’t Xingwen and Pingce take a separate photo?”
Jiang Pingce calmly beckoned towards Yue Xingwen, “Come on.”
Yue Xingwen consciously walked to stand next to him, Jiang Pingce held the gold medal in his right hand and gently held Yue Xingwen’s shoulder with his left hand, and a rare smile appeared on his usually serious face.
Yue Xingwen smiled brightly, picked up the gold medal with his right hand, and made a victory gesture with his left hand.
After careful calculation, they had known each other for so many years, and they had never taken a photo together.
Yue Xingwen looked at the final photo taken, and he was very satisfied in his heart. He always felt that his and Pingce’s photo standing together was particularly harmonious. Yue Xingwen turned around and told Ke Shaobin, “Remember to send it to me ah.”
Ke Shaobin said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go back to photoshop the photo, adjust the color, light and then send it to everyone!”
Liu Zhaoqing looked surprised, “Xiao Ke can still photoshop photos?”
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.
Ke Shaobin said, “I’m usually idle and bored, and I have studied photoshop software.”

The library stipulated that each team could apply for a maximum of 4 group events, with only one ball game could be registered. Yue Xingwen registered 4×800-meter relay, team rowing, soccer and tug-of-war.
Tug-of-war was the easiest of all team events. It was conceivable that there would be more teams in tug-of-war.
That also proved the case, as everyone arrived at the main venue and found it packed, almost like the opening ceremony, with all the students showing up and over 2,000 teams registered for the tug-of-war.
The playground was divided into 50 areas, marked with numbers from 1 to 50, and each tug-of-war area had three lines drawn on the ground, with the middle line being the center point of the game, and the other two lines representing the students standing in front of the two sides could not cross this line.
Next to it, there was a rope about the same thickness as the rope used in the tug-of-war game at school, and a small red flag was tied in the middle, representing the center of the rope.
The broadcast began to read out the rules: “The tug-of-war competition adopts a knockout system, and all participating teams play in random groups. The winner goes to the next round, and the loser goes straight out until the championship is decided. At the start of the game, the rope in the middle of the red flags needs to be aligned with the centerline of the field, and the small flag moves within the boundaries of a certain side to determine the winner.”
An animation was shown on the big screen, the rules were easy to understand. If you wanted to win, you had to pull the rope vigorously and pull the red flag in the middle of the rope to your side. But pulling the rope also required skill, and the usual tug-of-war competition was easy to win as long as all the team members had great strength and the same rhythm. However, today’s Sports Meeting used special abilities, and the brute force alone would definitely not work. How could they still play tug-of-war if the other side used group control?
There were 50 teams tug-of-war at the same time in one game and Yue Xingwen drew 120 this time. Their turn would come only in the third game.
Yue Xingwen took his teammates to the audience to watch.
Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, “Are you certain?”
Yue Xingwen thought for a while, and said, “Most of our skills were used up at the soccer game, and we are still left with Qin Miao’s Cup of Wine, Qin Lu’s Siberian Cold Current, senior sister Lan’s Civil Affairs Bureau, and senior brother Xu’s DNA Helix, right?”
Everyone nodded their heads.
Those 24-hour cooldown skills were used once yesterday and could be used today. Some limited skills, such as Yue Xingwen’s oranges, could only be used three times in the entire game, and these big moves had already been used in soccer games.
So, next, they did not have many cards to play.
At the beginning of the competition, the cheering sound of all teams on the field was deafening, and the tug-of-war required the rhythm of all members to be the same, and at the same time to work hard. Yue Xingwen said, “We will also shout one, two, and three later, and when we shout to three, we will use force at the same time. Senior sister Lin pays attention to put the Purification Lawn under our feet for us to be immune to the group control from the opponent.”
Lin Manluo said, “I can only put my lawn three times.”
Yue Xingwen counted and said, “Three times, enough for us to get into the third round, and we will see what happens then.”
Soon it was their number 120 turns, and Yue Xingwen led everyone to the field.
The team they met in the first round put group control in the opening game, which was solved by Lin Manluo’s Purification Lawn. Yue Xingwen and the other didn’t use any other skills, shouting one, two, three, and everyone made an effort at the same time to win the game.
In the second round, the opposite was a team of 10 males and 2 females. Several boys had decent figures, and their strength was certainly greater than the Research Group 183 several girls, they would not be able to fight by strength.
In the third round, Xu Yishen used the DNA helix to tie up several people on the opposite side, and everyone took the opportunity to win the game.
The team encountered in the fourth round was also hard to fight with raw strength. At the beginning of the game, Qin Miao directly opened the ‘Cup of Wine’, and the rope in the opponent’s hand instantly fell to the ground. The 183 effortlessly dragged the rope to their side!
In the fifth round, it was a lucky round.
In the sixth round, at this time, Lin Manluo’s Purification Lawn’s time was exhausted, and everyone’s skills were almost used up. Once they were controlled at the opening, they would lose!
The competition soon began, and there were students from the Conservatory of Music on the opposite side, and they directly played <Tonight is Unforgettable>, trying to make the Research Group 183 sleep collectively, but playing the music took time, even if it was just a few seconds.
Jiang Pingce suddenly moved, raised his right hand, and a triangular ruler shot out quickly from the palm of his hand——
The transparent triangular ruler, thin as a cicada’s wing, cut horizontally at the rope, and actually cut off the rope used for tug-of-war instantly!
Before the music on the opposite side was finished, the rope broke, and the Research Group 183 quickly retreated and decisively dragged the rope to their side.
Jiang Pingce cut the rope on his opponent’s side and kept the red flag on his side, so they fulfilled the condition of ‘pulling the red flag to their side’s line’ to determine the winner.
Research Group 183 won!
The students on the opposite side were confused collectively and said, “They can cut the rope in tug-of-war?”
“Sure enough, 183’s brain circuit is abnormal!”
In fact, Jiang Pingce also wanted to try, because the rules did not say ‘they need to replay the rope breaks’ or ‘if the rope breaks, it will be a foul’. Since it did not say in the library’s rules, there was no harm to try. If it was a foul, big deal they were eliminated, anyway, as soon as the opposite side played ‘Tonight is Unforgettable’, they would still be eliminated in the sleep control. The result would be the same.
And what about if it was not a foul? They could take the opportunity to win the game!
Jiang Pingce’s attempt proved to be the right choice. As the students of 183 opened the door to a new world, in the next seventh and eighth round of the competition, once the whistle blew, Jiang Pingce cut the rope with a triangular ruler!
Due to the fact that there were too many teams in the tug-of-war arena, many people did not see their operations clearly except their opponents.
It was not until C-183 made it all the way to the quarterfinals that the audience realized——
The tug-of-war competition was turned into a ‘rope cutting competition’ by them!
There were already several ropes ruined in 183’s hands.
The forum exploded once again, and many people choked and said, “Damn, why didn’t I think I could cut the rope?”
“If we had known that we can also cut the rope from the middle, wouldn’t we have been able to easily yank the center line to our side?”
“Our understanding of the rules is still not thorough enough ah!”
Jiang Pingce caught a loophole in the rules, which was the ability of a top student to ‘grasp the key’ when examining the question.
Eight to four competitions.
At the beginning, the opposite Physics Department was directly using the electricity, and the current was conducted along the rope, and the strong sense of paralysis made everyone almost unable to hold the rope. Liu Zhaoqing also learned Jiang Pingce’s operation, and simply threw out a scalpel to cut the rope, and everyone pulled the middle line of the rope over without danger to reach the final four!
However, during the four into two competition, the other party saw the shrewd operation of C-183 Research group and directly grabbed the first hand at the beginning!
They were Group A, and had a Research Group’s speed bonus, and they struck faster than Group C.
They did not know what skill the boy of the Physics Department put, everyone just felt that the rope in their hands was extremely silky and they were unable to hold it at all, and their feet were like stepping on ice as they could not stand firm at all. In less than 2 seconds, all the students of C-183 slipped and fell to the ground!
The rope was yanked away by the opposite side, and it was too late to cut it off.
Yue Xingwen got up in confusion and said, “What happened?”
Zhuo Feng looked toward the ground and said, “The opposite side should be majoring in mechanics, eliminating the friction on our side!”
In the tug-of-war competition, friction was extremely critical, assuming that the strength of the two sides was completely equal, which side had the stronger friction between the shoes and the ground was more likely to win, so many people would wear nail shoes when participating in the tug-of-war. The same was true for hands, compared with the sweaty hands, dry hands had more friction and would be easier to pull the rope away.
Once the friction was eliminated, it meant that they not only could not hold the rope with their hands, but also could not stand on their feet!
How could this be a tug-of-war?
So far, the C-183 Research Group had grasped the loopholes in the rules, but the opponent had grasped the principle of tug-of-war and won the game by skills, and they were convinced.
Yue Xingwen took the initiative to shake hands with the opposite party, “Congratulations!”
The boy who majored in mechanics from opposite smiled and said, “To win 183 is enough for us to brag on the forum for a while!”
Zhuo Feng asked, “Classmate, are the skills of mechanics easy to use?”
The boy said, “It’s okay, I changed the mechanics-related Friction, Reaction Force, Pressure, Spring. The attack power is not so strong, but it’s quite convenient for trickery.”
Most students from the Physics Department majors in electricity, optical, and magnetic fields, and it was the first time that they encountered a major in mechanics. Zhuo Feng pondered, if there were enough points in the future, he would also change some mechanics skills to try?
After all, mechanics was the foundation of Physics.
The skill of eliminating friction was so strong that it could make the opposite side slip collectively and could not hold things with both hands. On the contrary, if the friction was increased, the opposite side would not be able to walk. Reaction Force, Pressure, etc, certainly had their own uses.
This team obviously left their skills for tug-of-war and eventually made it to the finals and took the tug-of-war championship!
C-183 failed to harvest the medal in the tug-of-war event, and everyone could gladly accept this result. They had already won 3 gold medals in team events, and it would be too much to register for 4 events and won gold medals in all 4 events.
The A-88 Research Group on the opposite side won the tug-of-war event by eliminating friction of mechanics. The others had nothing to question and they offered them applause.
The tug-of-war was over.
At this point, all the events of the Library’s Sports Meeting had ended.
The cold mechanical voice said: “Thank you for coming to the first Library’s Sports Meeting, the closing ceremony will be held here at 8pm!”
I’m a little tired of sport, so I’m glad to know that we are on a finish line
Thank you for your translation 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
NOOOO ITS OVERRRR
AAAHHHH THAT WAS SO FUNNN
hm, of all sports here I enjoyed the soccer most 11/10
