Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Breaking Away from the Human Camp

Reporters interviewed the friends and classmates of the top student in the college entrance exams using a live-streaming format.

That is to say, they were live streaming from the start.

As soon as Mu Tiantian started bragging about how amazing Shi Yaoguang was, netizens couldn’t stand it anymore.

The barrage of comments had already become toxic.

"Has this girl been brainwashed or what? All-rounded? She must be dreaming."

"Hahahahaha... Other people’s classmates are all-round talents, unlike us, the incompetent common folk!"

"Isn’t this college entrance exam champion, Shi Yaoguang, one of the stars from a recent charity advert? Didn’t she enter the entertainment industry?"

"She’s only a bottom-tier celebrity, and she’s already eagerly hyping up her personal brand. It’s as clear as Sima Zhao’s heart, as if she’s afraid someone won’t notice."

"Shi Yaoguang sure is stubborn. Who dares to hype up an all-rounded persona these days? Isn’t she afraid of crashing and burning?"

"If she crashes and burns, she’s done for, but what if she doesn’t?"

"Doesn’t crash and burn? How’s that possible?"

"She can’t possibly be truly all-rounded."

"Why isn’t it possible? Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t, don’t be sour, okay?"

...

These were the comments that surfaced while Mu Tiantian was singing Shi Yaoguang’s praises.

After Shen Huan appeared, the barrage of comments initially became unilaterally positive.

"Wuwuwuwu my brother Coco!"

"I always thought that blue and green hair was just for show-offs until I saw this young man!"

"Ruihe High School, is it? For brother, I can do it!"

"Wake up, the one above, Ruihe High School isn’t for just anyone. Other than having good grades, it’s either top-notch family background..."

"Thanks for the reminder, but I have money! For brother, I’ll definitely work hard. Brother, wait for me, love you mwah~"

"Stop daydreaming, even if you get into Ruihe High School, it doesn’t mean he’ll pay any attention to you."

"Thanks for the invite, I am a student at Ruihe High School. Shen Huan used to be the school tyrant, but he’s been behaving this semester. He and Shi Yaoguang seem pretty close..."

The moment someone claiming to be an alumnus posted this comment, they heard Shen Huan say to Mu Tiantian, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Then, the comments erupted into laughter, all mocking him.

"Got slapped in the face, eh?"

"You said Shi Yaoguang and the young man are close, I don’t see that. Seems like it’s truly over."

Alumnus: "...No, not like that, let me explain!"

While he was anxiously trying to clarify, Shen Huan spoke to the camera and said, "Before I met Shi Yaoguang, I always thought I was a genius."

"Just glancing over the textbooks, skipping classes, and yet Managing to rank at the top during exams."

Netizens: "..."

What a Versailles statement.

Shen Huan continued, "After meeting Shi Yaoguang, I finally realized what naivety means."

"When I first met her, I thought she was a scam artist and even mocked her, thinking she was just scraping by with trickery..."

At this point, he strategically paused, hanging everyone’s curiosity high.

Everyone was incredibly curious, leaving comments urging him to go on.

Then he resumed speaking, "The second time we met, my face hurt."

"What I thought was deceit turned out to be genuine talent and knowledge."

"It was also from that time that I started to doubt my ideas about being a genius, it was ridiculous."

"If there are geniuses in this world, they must be like her. Me? I don’t measure up!"

As he said this, he shed a tear of vicissitudes, "But quickly, that thought was dismissed."

Netizens: "..."

Could you get to the point already? Keeping us in suspense like this is asking for a smack.

Shen Huan cleared his throat and said quite smugly, "I, Shen Huan, am a genius!"

"A born genius!"

He stated this with great confidence, while Mu Tiantian just burst out laughing next to him, "Pfft hahahahaha~"

She laughed so hard she doubled over, shaking like a leaf, "Shen Huan, have you no shame? Aren’t you afraid of blowing your own trumpet too hard?"

Netizens: "..."

Compared to brother Shen Huan, the rainbow farts you blew just now were the real deal.

And then, they were smacked in the face by Shen Huan.

After Shen Huan announced that he was a genius, he also explained why.

Why did he still believe he was a genius after questioning life itself?

The reason lay with Shi Yaoguang.

Time and again, he was struck down by Shi Yaoguang.

His confidence naturally took a hit.

But for him, this injury was not a severe blow.

So, he quickly bounced back.

And then...

He stated the reason why he was certain he was a genius.

Because...

He had clearly differentiated himself and Shi Yaoguang from the ranks of humanity.

He, Shen Huan, a genius.

Shi Yaoguang...

Perhaps an emotionless AI machine that knows everything when asked.

Even if there’s something it doesn’t know, it’s just a matter of adding new programs.

Shen Huan ultimately concluded, "So it’s said that many of human beings’ troubles are self-imposed."

"Why can’t I, a perfectly fine genius, be compared with ordinary humans, right?"

"Why compare myself with some extraordinary species? Isn’t that masochistic?"

Netizens: "..."

Why does it feel like, the brother’s words, are even more...

More baffling than the sister’s sugar-coated flattery.

The sister’s words might still be considered flattery.

But the brother’s deeply moving elaboration truly made jaws drop.

If he really thought that way, wouldn’t Shi Yaoguang truly be a monster?

Soon, an explanation for this answer emerged.

The Education Bureau made public the essay paper of Shi Yaoguang’s perfect-score composition.

It was the same in previous years.

Outstanding essays or answers could all possibly be made public.

Shi Yaoguang’s essay was the best of this year, even of the past fifty years.

Why?

This "best of" naturally aroused the curiosity of the vast number of netizens.

Not to mention those with children waiting to take the college entrance exams, even adults who had already joined the workforce couldn’t help but be a bit curious about educational matters.

And then, they were attracted by Shi Yaoguang’s calligraphy.

This standardized Guan-Gei style calligraphy.

It was the standard font for imperial examinations throughout the dynasties.

Not to mention how amazed everyone was at her mastery of the Guan-Gei style, her classical Chinese essay writing felt as if...

They were reading the work of a literary giant.

Some even commented below that if Shi Yaoguang were to participate in the imperial examinations, with her calligraphy and essay content, it would be possible for her to become the top scholar.

Of course, that would be assuming that women were allowed to take part in the imperial examinations.

Cough, let’s not talk about that.

The internet was abuzz with tumult over the college entrance examination results.

Shi Yaoguang, however, was the most unperturbed one.

After the college entrance exam ended, she just stayed at Quan Mansion.

As for the visiting cards that came her way, her method of dealing with them was very simple.

Two words.

No meeting.

Quan Jinbei’s health was getting worse, and Shi Yaoguang didn’t want to delay his recovery by meeting these people.
