Chapter 2307 - 2300: Huaxia’s Crushing Defeat
"A competition is a competition; I’m not scared of you."
"Huaxia’s medical skills are the best."
Even before the competition started, the tension between the two sides was palpable.
Since neither side had objections, the match commenced according to the rules set by Kameda Sakurai.
"Damn, a written exam? That’s essentially a guaranteed loss!" King Kong was despondent; he was just there to make up the numbers. He could skip the second and third rounds, but the first round required everyone’s participation.
Watching the Huaxia Team ready to jump into action, Wang Dadong shook his head to himself and said, "These Dongyin devils are really ruthless. The rules seem fair, but they actually put our Huaxia Team at a significant disadvantage. If I’m not mistaken, the Huaxia Team will probably suffer a miserable defeat in the first two rounds."
Leng Qingqian shot Wang Dadong a glare and said coldly, "Please stop undermining our morale."
"Exactly, don’t drag the team down when the time comes," Ah Fei sneered.
"It’s not like you can do it either," King Kong glared at Ah Fei.
"I’m just the lady’s bodyguard, not a doctor, so naturally, I’m not counted among the exchange meeting’s members."
King Kong was speechless; had he known earlier, he might’ve become Wang Dadong’s bodyguard instead.
But... does Wang Dadong need a bodyguard? It’s a pretty obvious question.
"You have to work hard; your performance will directly reflect on Huaxia," Leng Qingqian said flatly.
These words were clearly aimed at Wang Dadong and King Kong, meaning if you disgrace Huaxia, don’t blame me for reporting it truthfully.
Leng Qingqian’s move was vicious enough; countless people in Huaxia Country were looking forward to this medical exchange. One wrong move, and you’re the disgrace of the nation.
The competition took place in a classroom at Waseda Hospital’s affiliated school.
Once the test papers were distributed, the Huaxia Team members all wilted. The questions were essentially unrelated to treatment and all about the knowledge of some advanced medical devices, even including the method to disassemble an MRI machine!
This is absurd; the Huaxia team mainly specializes in traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of treatment, they’re all super experts, but their knowledge about medical devices is quite weak because TCM emphasizes observation, smelling, questioning, and palpation. As for the MRI machine, forget disassembling, probably only a few know how to use it!
At least Wang Dadong doesn’t know how to use it because he doesn’t need equipment to diagnose any illness.
This is why Wang Dadong said the rules are disadvantageous to the Huaxia Team. In a written test, Dongyin people can completely memorize the answers in advance.
Sure enough, the Huaxia Team members stared blankly at the papers while the Dongyin Team answered swiftly!
Now everyone finally realized that the rules set by the Dongyin people were extremely unfair, but it was already too late.
Even Leng Qingqian couldn’t answer, because compared to others, as the inheritor of the Reverse Dragon Seven Needles, she’s more skilled in TCM!
Of course, the Huaxia Team wasn’t entirely incapable of answering, like Wang Dadong, who was also writing fiercely. Besides Wang Dadong, another one writing fiercely was King Kong.
Soon, the exam ended, Dongyin people submitted their papers, and Huaxia Team members were like eggplants hit by frost, biting their pen shafts hard.
"What’s wrong? Can’t answer? You don’t even know basic medical knowledge, I really wonder how you treat people."
"How do we treat? Just treat until they’re dead."
The Dongyin doctors mocked relentlessly.
After the papers were submitted, they were reviewed publicly, making cheating impossible. Of course, the Dongyin Team didn’t need to cheat at this stage anymore.
Half an hour later, the review ended, and scores were announced.
"This paper is from the Dongyin Team, wow 99 points, what a good score."
"This paper is also from the Dongyin Team, 100 points, a perfect score, amazing, long live the Dongyin Team, long live the Empire of Great Dongyin!"
"... "
"This paper is from the Huaxia Team, 8 points? Did I read it wrong? Isn’t it 80 points? Let me look closely again, I regret to say I didn’t read it wrong, it is indeed 8 points."
"This is another paper from the Huaxia Team, it’s actually 0 points! Huaxia People are so useless, right?"
The Dongyin person responsible for announcing the scores laughed arrogantly.
All Dongyin people had faces full of smugness and mockery, while the Huaxia Team members were all dejected, too ashamed to face the results.
Finally, the Dongyin Team achieved an average score of 92.5. As for the Huaxia Team, the average score was only 30 points, because two members scored perfectly, bringing up the average to sixteen points.
That means the Huaxia Team had twelve members in total, two scored sixteen points, while the remaining ten together only scored fourteen points.
The two who scored perfectly were, of course, Wang Dadong and King Kong. Faced with this incredibly difficult exam, Wang Dadong decisively copied the Dongyin people’s answers, and King Kong was told the answers through Sound Transference by Wang Dadong.
Already in the first round, the Huaxia Team was trailing the Dongyin Team by 62.5 points.
And in the second round, which involved operating medical devices, this was again Huaxia’s weak point. Even Wang Dadong couldn’t cheat this time, because each person operated a different device.
After the second round, the Dongyin Team again scored 89 points, while the Huaxia Team only scored 45 points.
In the first two rounds, the Dongyin Team surpassed Huaxia by a total of 106.5 points!
Huaxia Team, completely defeated!
"Everyone, don’t give up; there’s still a third round. It’s our strong suit; we still have a chance to overtake," Leng Qingqian felt a surge of helplessness, but she knew if she gave up, then the Huaxia Team would be entirely defeated.
"Curing one patient for one point, how can we compete like this? We’re doomed."
In theory, you can score unlimited points in the third round. But that’s just theoretical; facing a deficit of 106.5 points, the Huaxia Team must treat at least 107 more patients than the Dongyin Team to possibly win.
"The entire Huaxia medical community is watching this exchange; the disgrace is enormous."
"We shouldn’t have agreed to this competition rule."
"..."
The Huaxia Team’s morale hit rock bottom; after all, no one could be happy in such circumstances, it seemed like a guaranteed defeat.
"I’m sorry, I dragged everyone down," Leng Qingqian said through gritted teeth.
"What good does it do to apologize now? The Dongyin people will surely advertise this widely; we’ll have no face to return to Huaxia."
"Our future is ruined just like this."
The team members grew more agitated, directing their anger at Leng Qingqian, their words becoming harsher and harsher.
Leng Qingqian bit her lips until they almost bled, her eyes faintly glistening with tears. Although she wasn’t the one who agreed to compete, as the captain, she must bear the primary responsibility.
