Chapter 405: She May Have Forgotten She's Master Wei's Chief Disciple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tian Xiaoxiao originally thought that this time, she could finally have a chance to show off her skills now that Film Emperor Qin had come to her, but who knew...

He was actually asking about Master Wei.

She picked up the glass of water and silently took a sip.

In the end, she was destined to be useless.

The manager noticed her strange expression and glanced at Qin Xiuchen, who also paused.

He looked up at her and then lowered his eyes to take a sip of tea. "Can't I look for you?"

Tian Xiaoxiao's tone didn't seem to be of refusal, but her expression confused him.

"Wait a moment..." Putting down the teacup, she took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and clicked on Qin Ran's phone number.

She picked up within one ring.

Tian Xiaoxiao turned on the speaker.

"Ran Ran."

Hearing this, Film Emperor Qin was stunned, shocked that she had called Qin Ran.

In fact...

He hadn't told Qin Ran about this because he didn't want her to think he only recognized her as his niece to make use of her abilities and connections.

He was always confident, but regarding Qin Ran and Qin Ling, he was overly cautious.

He didn't expect Tian Xiaoxiao to directly call Qin Ran.

On the other end, Qin Ran calmly said, "Go on."

"Film Emperor Qin is with me. He came to find me today." Tian Xiaoxiao propped her chin up and let her curly hair fall around her.

In the canteen, Qin Ran raised a hand to let Nan Huiyao and Xing Kai quiet down.

The originally noisy Nan Huiyao immediately zipped her mouth shut, sat down on the chair, and stared at her.

Qin Ran frowned. "What's the matter?"

Tian Xiaoxiao laughed. "He asked me to contact our teacher."

They only shared one teacher, Master Wei, so Qin Ran immediately knew who Film Emperor Qin was looking for.

Poking a straw into one of the Cokes brought over by Chu Heng, she paused for a while. "Tell him to come to my school, I'll wait for him at the gates."

They hung up.

Qin Xiuchen massaged his eyebrows with such force his slender fingers turned pale. He didn't expect Qin Ran's friend to be as swift and unforeseen as her. "I didn't want Ran Ran to know..."

"Film Emperor Qin, she had to know about this." Tian Xiaoxiao shook her head. "The Internet has already dug out that I'm Master Wei's unconventional registered disciple."

Tian Xiaoxiao's words were a little self-deprecating.

Taken aback, the manager sternly said, "Master Wei is a specially invited lecturer by Continent M's Association. Based on this alone, you're already out of the ordinary by being a registered disciple."

"But Master Wei only forcibly accepted me because he was overjoyed at Ran Ran's good results." Tian Xiaoxiao quietly looked at him.

Because Qin Ran performed well?

What did she mean?

Film Emperor Qin and the manager now seemed to have more information which they couldn't understand, or perhaps the idea was too incredulous. Tian Xiaoxiao continued saying blankly—

"... After Ran Ran entered college, she stopped coming to the Violin Association and didn't take more exams nor attend practice. I think... she might have forgotten that she's Master Wei's chief disciple."

Beijing University.

The canteen on the third floor.

Qin Ran hung up and counted the time Qin Xiuchen would take to arrive, which was estimated to be after 1:20 pm. She leaned against the backrest and drank her Coke.

Nan Huiyao, Chu Heng, and Xing Kai stared motionlessly at her.

"The Kyushu Tour big boss your high school friends were talking about was you, right?" After a long while, Chu Heng, who had more self-control out of the three, took the lead to ask.

Qin Ran crossed her legs and nodded.

They already expected this and weren't considered surprised at her reply, but Xing Kai was still in disbelief. "So you're the legendary teammate of Sun God online? The female member with the highest hand speed of 1000 in Team OST??!"

Qin Ran put down her Coke, picked up her chopsticks, and pressed her temples involuntarily. "You believed I have a hand speed of 1000?"

Xing Kai let out a sigh of relief and finally stopped looking at Qin Ran as if she was a pervert. "Sun God's hand speed is only 600."

Normal professional players had a hand speed of 300-400, so 600 was already considered God-level.

Not many hands could reach a speed of 600 among the Kyushu Tour's professional players.

As for 1000, it was almost twice of 600...

It was too terrifying a thought.

As for Xing Kai, his hand speed of 100 was already considered not bad among ordinary people.

"Then, what's your hand speed?" Chu Heng also started eating. He maintained his intelligence best out of the three.

Qin Ran ate a piece of rib bought by Chu Heng and the others. Upon hearing this, she said in a relaxed tone without looking up, "I competed with Yang Fei four years ago. 730."

She had trained her hand speed from being a hacker. When she was nine, Chen Shulan's old computer had been unable to keep up with her hand speed. Often, she could type a string of codes, and the old computer would take about two minutes to display it.

Thus, she had gone down to use Lu Zhixin's computer. Within a few days, he had given her a pile of documents and a book for her to compile her own computer after reading them.

While drinking Coke, Xing Kai successfully choked on it after hearing her.

He looked up at her, gaping, and managed to spit out after a long while. "Pervert."

Nan Huiyao simply couldn't understand the world of hand speeds and just sat quietly sipping Coke as they talked.

Qin Ran's phone rang. It was President Jiang.

She picked up.

At home, President Jiang was flushed with success and smiling from ear to ear. "There's a competition ICNE in May next year. I've sent you the details, take a good look."

They exchanged a few words before hanging up.

Qin Ran put down her phone and glanced at the others. "Do you know what's the ICNE?"

Xing Kai shook his head while Chu Heng squinted slightly.

"I do." Nan Huiyao looked up. "It's an international Physics high-tech innovation competition, one of the highest gold content in the science world. It's jointly organized by the world's top 10 universities and three major scientific Research Institutes. Registration began in May this year. I think last month, there were 100 teams in the sub-compartment area, and University A also has some graduate student teams selected to participate in the international finals in February next year."

Nan Huiyao was from the Student Union's office and had taken part in representing Beijing University as well, but unfortunately, hadn't been selected. At that time, she had compiled Beijing University's data and had taken a look because it involved her major.

"But why did you mention it so suddenly?" Speaking of this, Nan Huiyao suddenly remembered something. "Did Dean Jiang tell you to participate in the training camp and division selection in May next year? A freshman dares to sign up for this... Sister Ran, you're indeed Sister Ran..."

The other two remained silent and stared speechlessly at her.

This competition was only for graduate students or laboratory members who had achieved certain achievements in the professional field.

In May this year, two teams from Beijing University consisting of graduate students from the Physics Department had taken part, and a total of 10 people had lost to University A...

Compared to Qin Ran's other operations, Nan Huiyao, Xing Kai, and Chu Heng felt that if Dean Jiang had enrolled her in May next year... it was probably... considered normal.

Qin Ran appeared calm and ate while checking her email.

She hadn't understood what the ICNE was just now, but after flipping through some document and hearing Nan Huiyao's explanation, she finally knew what kind of competition it was.

She clicked on Dean Jiang's profile and replied to reject it.

Dean Jian —

"Why don't you participate?"

Dean Jiang wanted her to sign up for this particularly high gold competition next year to build up her reputation.

He and the professors of the Physics Department all thought she was strong enough to participate in the competition for Physics research, and he had planned to register her in May next year.

With her current popularity in Beijing University, Dean Jiang and the Physics Department were very concerned about her growth.

Especially since, unlike Song Luting, she didn't have her own teacher who could arrange everything for her. Thus, they were particularly concerned about her and had planned the next things for her.

But they didn't know that Principal Xu also had plans for her.

Qin Ran remembered the research project given to her a few days ago by Principal Xu.

He had arranged it for her a few days ago, though he didn't say anything further and only asked her to carefully read it. Today, watching the specific content of ICNE sent by Dean Jiang, Qin Ran managed to guess it—

Principal Xu probably had a place for her for the ICNE finals in February next year.

Qin Ran looked down and replied to Dean Jiang—

[I should be participating in the finals in February next year.]
