C180 The First Round of the Competition
C180 The First Round of the Competition
The next morning, after everyone finished eating at the buffet restaurant, they went back to the conference room to make the final preparations.
Half an hour before the competition, the group of people arrived at the exhibition hall. At this time, the atmosphere in the competition hall was getting more and more intense. There were already several thousand people sitting in the audience seats in the exhibition hall. They were all medical practitioners from all walks of life, as well as teachers and students from various medical schools in China.
"So, so many people?" Lin Chao saw so many people in the audience and was a little panicky. It was completely not the cool image he used to have.
"Everyone, don't panic. What we usually learn and practice is all for today! Qi Ming, Jing Xue, let's go and prepare!" Hee Xinran hurriedly consoled the crowd. At the critical moment before the competition, she finally had the appearance of a captain.
Before the contestants stepped into the competition grounds, they needed to pass through the inspection first. The organizers used instruments and manpower to check the few people participating in the competition. After making sure that there were no belts or communication devices, they put the three people in.
The contestants from the other teams also entered the competition grounds. When Zhang Hao and the other two people from his team entered the competition grounds together, it immediately caused a wave of cheers. Zhang family was currently the largest herb production and sales company in all of China, and it had many partners and crowds.
Zhang Hao's eyes swept across the Jiangzhou team, but he found that Luo Fann was just sitting below the stage. He could not help but smile and reveal a trace of ridicule.
Luo Fann understood what he meant. He was laughing at Luo Fann for not having the courage to participate in the competition. It could even be said that he didn't even have the courage to lose. He was truly a coward from the bottom of his heart.
The other person who attracted Luo Fann's attention was naturally the Chen family from the Bingzhou. If he wasn't mistaken, this Chen family was the main culprit behind Xiao Lin's kidnapping. He didn't expect to see them for the first time here.
As expected, the captain of the Bingzhou team was surnamed Chen, and his name was Chen Hsing.
However, unexpectedly, the captain at the front was a thin little girl with a ponytail and big eyes. The only thing Luo Fann was interested in was her eyes and steps. She was definitely a person who practiced martial arts since she was young.
"Hehe, little girl, what is the purpose of your family kidnapping Xiao Lin?" Luo Fann smiled and supported his chin as if he was deep in thought. At this moment, a thunderous applause sounded for the second time in the arena.
"Next up is the Yunzhou Team!" Following the host's introduction, the Yunzhou representative team entered the arena. The one who walked in front was the genius youth and Medical Sage's descendant - Wang He!
This was the true fluttering of white clothes. Wang He was more than 1.8 meters tall and was dressed in white clothes. His eyes were calm, as if he was used to such a big scene. Occasionally, he tilted his head and softly instructed his teammates to pay attention to certain things. It was precisely his cold and cool expression that caused the girls below the stage to scream.
"Tch, it's so noisy!" Lin Chao impatiently muttered, "Is the Medical Sage really that great? Wait until the next round, let him have a taste of my Medicine King's descendant's power!"
Luo Fann faintly smiled. This Lin Chao could be considered to have completely clashed with Wang He. It would be strange if he did not fight for the same style, title, and handsome youth.
"Next, I announce that the first round of the 5th Great Ming Province's medical competition, medicinal herb identification, is about to begin!" An old man on the stage said, "Medicinal herb identification is the basic quality that every doctor must have. Hence, we placed the medicinal herb identification in the first round of the competition. Now, prepare the ingredients! "
On the field of the competition, every team was slowly blocked by a barrier that rose slowly. They could not see each other, and almost every team had become a very isolated space.
Then, in the sealed space, a long table gradually rose up. It was covered with a white cloth, and beside it was a tablet.
Under the white cloth were all kinds of medicinal herbs, and the tablet was used to record everything.
"Prepare the countdown. The competition begins!" The old man issued the order for the competition to begin.
All the teams immediately lifted the white cloth. Two of them were in charge of identifying while the other was in charge of checking and verifying. Other than Luo Fann, the ones responsible for identifying were Song Jingxue and Liu Qiming. Hee Xinran was only in charge of recording.
The big screen hanging above the competition venue displayed the situation of each team's match and their answers in real time.
The Wang family and Zhang family teams were far ahead. Under the cheering of the audience, the two teams managed to identify more than 40 kinds of herbs after only ten minutes of the competition. The Chen family and the An family followed closely behind. There were more than 20 types of herbs, and Luo Fann's team had only recognized a dozen of them, and they were only ranked sixth.
"How is Liu Qiming's usual ability?" Luo Fann could not help but feel worried. Before the competition, Hee Xinran had clearly said that he was very strong.
"There is no problem with his strength. He is also from a medical family in Jiangzhou. His ancestors had been practicing medicine for five generations. It was said that his great-grandfather had even entered the Imperial Palace to treat illnesses." Lin Chao was also a little anxious. "It's just that the opponent this time is really too strong. I also didn't expect the Chen family and the An family to be so powerful. If I had known earlier, I would have really gone up there!"
In the competition grounds, Liu Qiming and Song Jingxue were already sweating profusely. The difficulty of this competition had far exceeded their imagination!
Many of these medicinal herbs had only been seen once, and were rarely used. Seeing that their team had fallen so far behind, the three of them were very anxious.
In fact, the reason why it was difficult to identify the herbs was that many insects and animals could also be used in medicine. Even the different parts of a herb had different medicinal properties.
"Qiming, you can do it." Hee Xinran also clearly sensed that something was not right and hurriedly comforted him, "What Shennong Sect, Medical Sage, Medicine King, whatever family are all floating clouds here. We want to let them see that we, people who rely on our own strength, can also stand out!"
When Liu Qiming heard Hee Xinran's words, he instantly became much more clear-headed. Indeed, wasn't this the reason why he came to participate in the competition? He closed his eyes and took three deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, the light in his eyes was completely different.
Liu Qiming recognized a lot of strange medicinal herbs. His recognition speed also increased significantly. Soon, he surpassed the team in front of him and rushed to fifth place.
"Alright, our first place is first produced, the team representing the Cloud State! The successor of the Medical Sage lives up to his reputation!" The host said happily. However, not long after his voice faded, he shouted again.
"Oh? The second place also came out, He Zhou Team! " Indeed, the descendants of the Shennong Sect are not inferior to them! "
After another ten minutes, Chen Hsing's team also finished the match.
