Chapter 613: Chapter 613: In Case She Never Recovers

The principal’s mustache curled with pride, and his tone was even more intoxicated, "What benefit would I have in deceiving you all?"

"At the end of the day, the fact that our school has such a promising student is all thanks to my efforts!"

Hearing him say this, the board members all became puzzled, "What does that have to do with you?"

"Hehe, you don’t know, do you? Why did Shi Yaoguang choose our school? Isn’t it because of the recommendation by my proud student!"

"Your proud student?" The crowd questioned doubtfully, then it dawned on them, "You mean Quan Jinbei?"

"That’s right."

The principal was quite smug, "If it weren’t for me, our school wouldn’t have been able to snag this fine talent."

"Exactly, exactly, it’s all thanks to you, principal, for bringing Shi Yaoguang to our school."

The principal laughed heartily, "Ahem, it’s enough that we know this, there’s no need to make a big fuss out of it."

The crowd: "..."

Who wants to make a big fuss out of it?

Isn’t it you, the one so eager to show off?

And to think, after showing off, you start to backpedal.

That’s really too much.

The principal didn’t think there was anything excessive about his behavior; he had such a "magnificent achievement," and not to brag about it would be doing himself a disservice.

It was just these old fellows who didn’t understand the principles of mutual business flattery.

If they praised him now, wouldn’t he also praise them back later?

Thinking this, she shook her head again.

But it wasn’t entirely the case.

Maybe, they simply couldn’t find anything to flatter each other about in business terms.

With that thought, the principal suddenly felt sympathetic towards them.

So sympathetic, in fact, that he felt there was no need to be pedantic with them.

They were already so pitiable; how could he make too many demands of them?

One should not kick someone when they are down.

The board members had no idea the principal’s internal drama was so rich; they were genuinely happy.

The better the school developed, the more it benefited them by leaps and bounds.

Now, looking at Shi Yaoguang, their eyes were filled with fervor.

Instantly, someone said, "Just for the sake of that biology journal, she must be the champion this time!"

"Absolutely, it must be her."

"There are still other competitions coming up," another board member said, "How about we see how those go before deciding?"

"What other competitions are there?"

A certain board member decisively stated, "I think no other competition could possibly surpass the prestige of the biology journal."

"Not necessarily," the principal said with a meaningful smile.

The board members once again turned their collective gaze toward him, asking in confusion, "Do you know something again?"

"Hehe," the principal laughed, "I don’t exactly know anything, but... don’t forget that Shi Yaoguang has also entered another competition."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Shi Yaoguang had another event.

Before the competition, she had claimed she would sweep the top three spots.

Looking at the current momentum, the top three seemed likely to all fall to her.

It was just a question of how the ranking within the top three would be arranged.

To be honest, judging by Shi Yaoguang’s performance in the robot contest, it was clear that her research on mechanics was not lacking in the least.

In this case, awarding her first place in the robot contest would raise no doubts at all.

But then...

She also presented the biology journal.

This journal was no ordinary publication.

The academic value directly went up; to say that the journal could not offer a first place to her seemed somewhat unfair.

In terms of robotics and biology, Shi Yaoguang had already got a firm grip on it; it was just a matter of what she would bring to the table in the final medical field.

...

The school board members had great trust in Shi Yaoguang; in their eyes, with the previous two achievements under her belt, even if the last one wasn’t exceptional, it wouldn’t have any impact.

After all, no one is perfect.

If there were...

That would be even better.

Ling Qingxue didn’t expect that Shi Yaoguang would be able to produce a biological academic journal.

She asked herself, the research paper she had produced was still a certain distance from being published in a biological journal.

But Shi Yaoguang not only produced one but also took the spotlight.

Others may not know what this signifies, but she herself was well aware.

After all, she had asked the System before, and the System had told her that her paper had not yet met the conditions for journal application.

If she had known Shi Yaoguang had such a trump card, she would not have chosen biology.

But now, it was too late for regrets; she had already lost two rounds, and if she didn’t win the last one, she would truly become a joke.

This was something she could never accept.

She was accustomed to a position high above; admitting defeat was absolutely impossible for her.

She believed she could definitely do it.

"Shi Yaoguang, don’t be complacent; there’s still the final round!"

She said, her eyes filled with determination, "This time, I will not lose to you again!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "We’ll just have to see."

...

Soon, the final round arrived.

It was related to medical pharmacology research.

Developing drugs and researching robots both drained funds; in fact, developing new drugs could be even more costly than developing robots.

To be aware, countless human and material resources are needed for the development of a new drug.

That’s also why many pharmaceutical companies would rather purchase someone else’s finished product at a high price than invest in their own research and development.

Often, huge amounts poured into R&D might not even make a ripple.

Ling Qingxue was able to participate in the competition mainly due to the assistance of the System.

She believed that this time, she would definitely take first place!

The host went on stage and briefly explained the competition.

Ling Qingxue had a new drug, and naturally, Shi Yaoguang also produced something.

The difference being, Ling Qingxue brought out a finished product.

The drug’s effect was that of a Coagulation Fast-Acting Drug.

It was specifically developed for certain patients with coagulation disorders.

Ling Qingxue eloquently shared some insights from her drug research, which moved the hosts and the audience alike.

Shi Yaoguang, in turn, presented her researched molecular compound.

"This is a liquid extracted from certain plants, this plant essence can aid in fat reduction..."

Upon hearing Shi Yaoguang conclude, the girls in the audience became ecstatic.

If today’s girls had the biggest problem, besides baldness, it was being overweight.

Shi Yaoguang said she had refined a plant essence capable of reducing fat; it was practically a boon for girls.

...

After hearing Shi Yaoguang finish, the school board members felt not very optimistic.

"Although compared to the Coagulation Fast-Acting Drug, Shi Yaoguang’s fat-reducing essence may be more popular, when compared to the real medical value, Ling Qingxue’s Coagulation Fast-Acting Drug still holds the upper hand,"

One school board member expressed concern, "Before the competition, she said she would take one of the top three places, and she only registered for three events. What if she can’t manage to get in the top three, do you think she will be very upset? What if she never recovers from this setback?"
