Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 924 - 436: Stunning Debut (Part 3)

Yan Lu stuck out her tongue, her eyes flickered, and she had a plan: "The first round of team competition should still be five people per group. You pull Rong Xianning into your team, plus God Liu, we are definitely going to win."

Shen You’an, Liu Runxi, Rong Xianning, each one of them is high IQ, she and Gao Yuyue provide support, absolutely unstoppable.

Shen You’an shook his head: "We don’t know the rules of the competition yet."

After lunch, the program officially started recording.

The student contestants came from well-known high schools nationwide, for a total of forty-nine participants.

Yan Lu winked at Shen You’an: "I knew it, they left a spot specifically for Little Rong."

All participants gathered on stage, the host appeared, a pretty and intelligent female host, also a well-known national host, Tian Wei, who announced the competition rules with a rhythmic broadcasting tone.

The first round of team competition, five people per group, divided into ten groups. Contestants participate in a group format quiz, gaining one point for a correct answer, losing one for a wrong one, and the team at the bottom of the rankings in the first round gets collectively eliminated.

Similar to the MT International Mathematics Challenge format, Shen You’an suspected the show’s planners got their inspiration from the math challenge.

However, the team formation was more innovative than the monotonous draw in the math challenge; everyone was randomly grouped into five-member teams to play a puzzle decoding obstacle game. Each team member uses a clue card to reach the central puzzle pool, where obstacle tasks listed on the card must be completed before finding the key puzzle pieces directed by the card clues. The first puzzle piece might contain a password snippet, and team members must continuously integrate clue card information, acquired puzzle piece information, and new information from completed obstacle tasks, roaming through the field to ultimately find and collect their team’s five specific puzzle pieces.

During the collection process, the team gradually obtains a complete password. Using the acquired password against the publicized password reference chart, if the pieced group number and the decoded group number are consistent, the team formation succeeds. Otherwise, the team may continue to correct and reassemble until successful.

This game merges intellectual and physical elements, full of fun, and aligns well with the show’s theme—youthful and sunny.

Gao Yuyue and Yan Lu immediately moved beside Shen You’an, showing a warning expression to the surrounding eager people.

Gu Bichen and Liu Runxi attracted much attention but voluntarily moved toward Shen You’an.

This disappointed many, and Jiang Yumo felt a bit lost, realizing there’s no place for her by Shen You’an’s side.

She glanced at Leng Yunyang: "You all came from Lanya High School, how come they singled you out? Is it because you usually don’t have good relationships at school?"

Leng Yunyang crossed his arms and scoffed: "I can’t be bothered with that crowd."

Jiang Shengyao initially wanted to rush to Shen You’an but seeing this scene, could only change direction and head to Leng Yunyang.

Ren Chong proactively approached Leng Yunyang, greeting him with a smile: "Old classmate, won’t you welcome me?"

Leng Yunyang snorted through his nose: "Let’s make it clear upfront, don’t drag me down."

At the math challenge, he was dragged down by pig teammates in the first round, and it still annoys him.

Ren Chong laughed heartily: "Don’t worry, isn’t my trust enough for you?"

After speaking, Ren Chong waved at Jiang Yumo: "Hi, I’m Ren Chong, from Lanya High School."

Jiang Yumo politely introduced herself.

Jiang Shengyao awkwardly coughed: "Well, add me too."

But soon someone realized the issue, with a total of forty-nine people, one lacking means the last team can’t form a five-person group.

The host smiled warmly: "We need to invite our surprise guest now."

Except for Shen You’an’s group, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

A mysterious guest? Who could it be?

Could it be a celebrity?

"He’s the biggest hit as boy group leader, also an exceptionally talented top idol, and furthermore, a student excelling in ethics, intellect, physique, and aesthetics—he is..."

As the host listed these titles, the crowd stirred; only one person in today’s entertainment scene fits these criteria.

"He is the superstar who aced the Jingzhou City middle school exams this summer, the role model for all teenagers."

The host gestured towards the large screen behind.

At this moment, the stage’s lighting activated fully, the large screen in the center of the stage slowly opened to both sides, with all lights focused at the stage’s end, a slender silhouette approached from the shadows.

Yan Lu excitedly grabbed Shen You’an’s arm: "He’s coming, he’s really coming..."

Everyone else was evidently very excited too.

It’s Rong Xianning, last year’s skyrocketing top idol. Though young, his talents are extraordinary, and he hasn’t fallen behind in his studies at all. To say he’s today’s benchmark for all teenagers is not exaggerated at all.

Gu Bichen frowned; he knew about Rong Xianning but never paid much attention, unexpectedly the show invited him, creating such a grand spectacle.

He could let Shen You’an steal his thunder, considering the gender difference, but Rong Xianning’s star power was too strong; would there even be chances for him to stand out where Rong Xianning appears?

Gu Bichen somewhat blamed Gu Rui for organizing it this way.

This was really unjust to Gu Rui, as Rong Xianning was appointed by the station head, and he couldn’t make decisions for the head.

The boy in white walked toward the light.

From here, he stepped into his own era.
