"We came to participate in the ACM International College Student Programming Competition." Xu Bin answered.

"Uh, I mean, our Mist City Arts and Science University... It’s a university, right? Since we are in the richest city in Europe, shouldn’t we visit the universities here?"

"You mean!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin’s face lit up with delight, and he excitedly said, "Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology!"

Ding Yue smiled slightly and nodded.

"Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, what kind of joke is this? Is it better than our Mist City Arts and Science University?"

Wen Ruohan heard Director Xu mention the name of this university from not too far away, and couldn’t help but ask Huang Youjie next to her.

"Pfft!"

Huang Youjie had just taken a sip of water and suddenly spat it out.

"What’s wrong, Huang?"

Ding Yue had just walked over and saw Huang spit out a mouthful of water and asked out of curiosity.

"Just now... Secretary Wen asked, asked whether the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology is as good as our Mist City Arts and Science University, haha!"

Unable to restrain himself, Huang burst out laughing.

Wen Ruohan was completely baffled and didn’t know what was going on, "Could it be... that this Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology is very impressive?"

Obviously, Ding Yue noticed that Wen Ruohan didn’t know about the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, because indeed the name of this school isn’t easy to remember, especially compared to Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial Polytechnic, and Nanyang Technological Universities which are somewhat mouthful.

"Xiao Wen, haven’t you heard of the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology?" Ding Yue looked at Wen Ruohan and asked.

Wen Ruohan honestly shook her head.

She couldn’t recognize even many of the universities in her own country, let alone those on a global scale. She had never studied them.

"Speaking of top European institutions, which three do you think would make the cut?" Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan another question.

"Um, Cambridge? Oxford? These two universities are definitely there, right?"

"That’s correct."

Ding Yue nodded.

"Um, what about the third?" Wen Ruohan was stumped because when she thought of world-renowned universities in Europe, she could only think of Cambridge University and Oxford University.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ding Yue’s mouth, he raised his hand, and patted Wen Ruohan on the head, "The third one is the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology."

"Are they that impressive?"

Wen Ruohan was stunned upon hearing this.

Can this university, which she has hardly ever heard of, be on par with Cambridge and Oxford?

That’s incredible!

"In the QS World University Rankings, Oxford University ranks fourth globally, and Cambridge University ranks seventh globally. Do you know what rank the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology is?"

Ding Yue asked again with a smile.

"I know, I know, Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology is ranked sixth!" At this point, Ouyang Chen excitedly stepped forward and said.

Hearing this, Ding Yue turned his head and glared at Ouyang Chen.

"Wow! World’s sixth!" Wen Ruohan was completely flabbergasted.

This exceeded her initial estimation. Because just a while ago, when Principal Ding said that the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology could be ranked with Cambridge University and Oxford University as the top three world-renowned universities in Europe, she thought its world ranking could at least be in the top twenty.

But she didn’t expect it to be ranked sixth, even higher than the ranking of Cambridge University, how terrifying!

"The Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology has always been known as the best institution in Europe, you can see its strength!"

Xu Bin explained to Wen Ruohan.

"At the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, there are too many winners of the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, and Turing Award, Einstein graduated from the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology!" Ding Yue patiently explained to Wen Ruohan.

Hiss!

Wen Ruohan couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing this.

Who doesn’t know Einstein!

He graduated from this university?

No wonder this university is so powerful. She had just questioned whether this university was better than their Mist City Arts and Science University.

This isn’t a question of whether it’s better or not, it’s simply a beating!

Seeing such a surprised look on Wen Ruohan, Ding Yue then smiled and said: "But perhaps in the future, our Mist City Arts and Science University might be even better than the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology."
