Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 843 - 392: The Divide Between Mortals and Gods

Chapter 843: Chapter 392: The Divide Between Mortals and Gods

"Let’s congratulate Shen You’an for steadily rising to seventh place in the fifth scoring competition."

Mid-May ushered in the fifth online scoring competition for MT. Shen You’an lived up to expectations, once again achieving a great result.

综合全前四次的积分, the rankings changed again, as Shen You’an jumped from twenty-seventh to seventeenth, twelfth, tenth, and now seventh place.

The rankings steadily climbed.

MT International Math Challenge, where geniuses from all around the world gather. Shen You’an managed to improve her rankings under such immense pressure, which is simply incredible.

Everyone in the class looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

Although initially there was some jealousy, after months of interaction, everyone had recognized the gap between them.

There is a difference between people and deities.

The gap is too large; there’s only room for admiration.

Applause erupted all around the classroom.

Shen You’an showed a faint smile, undisturbed by praise or blame.

Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Liu also performed well this time, rising to tenth place."

Despite Shen You’an’s brilliance overshadowing Liu Runxi, he was also undeniably a rare and talented scholar.

Leng Yunyang rose to thirty-fifth place, and Jiang Yumo broke into the top fifty, but only Gu Bichen fell out of the top one hundred.

Everyone else was moving up, but only Gu Bichen’s scores were visibly sliding backward.

Since being criticized by Xie Feng last time, Gu Bichen’s attitude improved a bit, but his test scores didn’t continue declining, nor did they improve.

Ding, points have arrived.

After saving up points for so long, Shen You’an could finally exchange for "Resourceful."

It was like opening up a new world, full of an endless sea of problems to solve.

Shen You’an spent all her remaining time employing the problem-solving strategy, working on problems while eating, walking, and even dreaming in her sleep.

She also needed to find time to participate in the Go and swimming competitions.

The Go competition was a lengthy process, but progress was still being made.

It’s noteworthy that after meeting with the national swimming team’s coach last time, they were very pleased with her. If she secures a good rank in the forthcoming championship games, she would be smoothly promoted to the national team.

These days, Shen You’an was busy competing in various contests, her schedule packed tightly; the days passed by quietly, incredibly fulfilling.

At the end of May, there’s another rather important physics competition. After physics exams, May stealthily slipped away.

June brought scorching heat, as the nation welcomed the college entrance exams timely.

Shen You’an lived up to expectations in the championship, clinching the gold medal. The national team coach kept to their promise and brought her on board, making Shen You’an now an officially serving national team athlete.

However, national team training is intense, aimed at preparing for the world championships in July and August through closed training sessions.

Shen You’an didn’t have much time, as mid-July, she needed to go to Siland to participate in the MT International Math Challenge finals, leading her to discuss with the coach to arrange closed training a week before the match.

Her national team coach, with rich experience, was thrilled to find such an exceptional talent. However, upon discovering that Shen You’an was a student of the De Ren Talent Class, she did question her life’s judgments a little.

Having trained world champions, she knew those champions’ halos were supported by unimaginable labor and monotonous training day in and day out.

She hoped Shen You’an would not squander her swimming gift but would instead strive for gold medals for the country, letting academic pursuits take a backseat.

But alongside being a national team athlete, she remained a member of the De Ren Talent Class, constantly securing top positions and earning gold medals in competitions.

She even checked about the MT International Math Challenge in July, knowing it’s a game for math geniuses. Only four from Hua Country ranked in the top one hundred, with Shen You’an breaking into the top ten.

It is a global arena for high-IQ geniuses, as it’s commonly said: literature ranks no first, while sports rank no second; one cannot claim math competitions are nobler than swimming championships, as the two are incomparable.

Yet she couldn’t allow Shen You’an to forsake such a grand-scale math competition for the world championships, as she saw Shen You’an’s swimming talent clearly, a gift from the heavens indeed.

Considering comprehensively, she reported this to her superiors, who valued talent. Observing Shen You’an’s prior performances, realizing she scarcely had much training time but still achieved remarkable results,

such once-in-a-century brilliance shouldn’t be restrained by ordinary people’s thoughts, finally deciding to grant Shen You’an special exemption, just needing to return a week before the competition for training.

"Boss, ’Carefree Guest’ is entering its promotional phase this week. The official blog will announce the lineup tomorrow at ten in the morning. Are you prepared?"

Shen You’an walked out of the swimming hall and received a call from Zhao Heng.

She halted, glanced up at the sun above.

The sunlight was glaring; she instinctively squinted.

"What’s meant to come will eventually come."

"Double Shadows is joining the crew next week. I’ve talked it over with the director to concentrate your scenes within a month; will you be able to make time?"

June fifteenth marks the end-term exams, followed by half a month of study tours, which students could opt-in voluntarily, leading into July and the official summer vacation.

The MT Math Challenge takes place on July fifteenth in Siland; the swimming world championship spans from July twenty-fifth to August fifteenth.

Shen You’an freed up a one-month slot to join the ’Double Shadows’ crew.

’Double Shadows’ is a small-budget production, with an unknown director team that couldn’t attract investments or cast, or even start filming.

Shen You’an, recommended by Huang Chu in February, liked the script’s female lead very much, deciding to have Zhao Heng invest and upgrade the entire setup, engrossing the script team in refining the script.

Now four months later, everything was set and ready, awaiting the actors to join.

After extensive location scouting, the crew decided to set filming in a small town in Yunzhou.

After her final exams, Shen You’an flew low-key into Yunzhou to join the crew that night.

"By the way, there’s one more thing." Zhao Heng enigmatically said over the phone.

Shen You’an walked to the bus station. "Go on."

"You know Interstellar Entertainment, right? The internationally renowned star-making factory. From my connections, I’ve heard they’re planning to film a new movie ’Star Youth,’ personally handled by entertainment mogul Sula, casting actors across Asia. That’s Interstellar Entertainment! Unfortunately, I heard the lead is a teenage boy. We don’t have anyone suitable for that, but I think Bao Tan could vie for the female lead role; if she gets picked, she steps one foot into the international limelight."

This is the entertainment industry’s most anticipated opportunity, with countless eyes watching intently for a chance to act.

Rumors state Sula is coming to Hua Country at month’s end for actor selection, leading each agency to pull out all stops for roles.

Zhao Heng found out through insiders that the female lead role is quite fitting for Bao Tan and wanted to secure an opportunity for her.

Shen You’an paused momentarily, Sula sister?

Zhao Heng kept lamenting over the phone, "I wish, but I have no connections in Interstellar Entertainment. That’s a global contest; agencies fiercely vying for spots. I need to think how to help Bao Tan secure a chance."
