Chapter 696: I Formally Challenge Tang Ye; Can a Mere No-Name Make It in This World?

June is final exam month; today, every road at Peking University is unusually bustling with students riding electric scooters and bicycles to their exam venues.

"On the left is our Second Teaching Building of Peking University, completed and put into use in 2007."

Huang Qian Huang Qian Junwei, director of the Physical Education Department, led the way ahead, while Tang Ye looked left and right, touring this university he had already "attended for two years."

"South of the Second Teaching Building lies our May Fourth Playground, also the venue for some outdoor events."

"Oh, that one, I remember it."

Tang Ye pointed toward the distant May Fourth Playground: "Didn't I take my entrance exam there? I remember this place."

"Mm, yes, that's right. However, after the pandemic, the exam location was no longer arranged at the May Fourth Playground, so Tang Ye, you are the last cohort of students in the Physical Education Department to take the entrance exam at the May Fourth Playground."

"Haha, then I'm quite lucky."

Tang Ye said: "By the way, do you have a bubble-fill pen, the square kind used for filling out answer sheets?"

"That's not a problem! Haha, I will notify your proctor; he will hand over all the necessary exam supplies to you, so you don't need to prepare them yourself."

Tang Ye nodded lightly.

A good school really is a good school; the teachers and leaders are truly so considerate!

"Tang Ye!"

"Wow!! It really is Teaching Building Two, I guessed right!"

"Ball King, damn!"

"Hey!!"

The Physical Education Department had only a few exam venues; students around campus could easily calculate where Tang Ye would likely be taking his exam.

If everyone guesses a different spot, someone is bound to guess correctly.

"Tang Ye!"

"Wow, haha!"

More than twenty students rushed over quickly; the commotion they created soon attracted even more people, and the area near Teaching Building Two quickly descended into chaos.

"This is exactly why we did not disclose your exam venue."

Huang Qian Huang Qian Junwei sighed: "They will go crazy when they see you."

As the students charged forward, two bodyguards prepared to reach out and intercept them, but the moment their hands extended, Tang Ye pushed them down: "It's fine, it's fine."

After all, this was China, and moreover, inside a school; Tang Ye didn't need to worry about anyone suddenly rushing up to stab him.

"Tang Ye!!!"

"Holy crap, Tang Tang Qiuwang, I'm truly your fan; I started watching you play soccer when I was two years old."

There was indeed an expert who started watching Tang Ye's matches at age two, but this expert was quickly shoved aside by his roommate nearby: "Brother Ye, I'm more awesome than him; I started watching you play soccer when I was one year old. Back then I was still a sperm; I asked my dad every day to watch your matches on TV! Can we take a photo? Taking a photo with you was my childhood dream!"

"Okay okay, ahem, everyone calm down, calm down; you don't need to tell me when you started watching me play soccer, and no need to talk about sperm, alright? This is a university campus; let's be a bit more serious."

Tang Ye gestured for everyone to calm down.

Students with poor grades often hold a sense of awe toward prestigious universities.

The same applies to someone like Tang Ye, who didn't get into university through academic scores.

This is Peking University; one must maintain dignity!

"Tang Tang Qiuwang, I really f***ing love you, damn it."

"Tang Ye, I often watch your matches while jerking off!"

"Which exam hall are you in, Tang Tang Qiuwang! I'm also in Teaching Building Two, I'm in room 504!"

"..."

"Okay okay, everyone calm down!"

Tang Ye suddenly realized that the high-achieving students at Peking University seemed a bit different from what he had imagined; this truly broke the Ke Ban Yin.

One classmate wearing a white T-shirt stepped forward, pointing at his roommate beside him who was wearing a Liwupu Salah jersey: "Tang Tang Qiuwang, Liu Liu Wentao from Class 03, Grade 2018, Major in Atmospheric Physics and Meteorology, says he wants to challenge you one-on-one; he says he can kick your ass with just one foot."

Tang Ye raised an eyebrow; the classmate called Liu Liu Wentao hurriedly defended himself: "No, Tang Ye, listen to me; although I am a Liwupu fan, I am also your fan, a very loyal fan."

"I know, I know."

Led by Huang Qian Huang Qian Junwei and other leaders of the Physical Education Department, Tang Ye slowly approached the entrance of Teaching Building Two.

Only three or four minutes had passed since the students discovered Tang Ye, yet several hundred people had already gathered near Teaching Building Two.

At this moment, Teaching Building Two was as bustling as a cafeteria during dinner time; electric scooters and bicycles could barely pass through.

"I know you all want autographs and photos; those will happen, but today I am here to take an exam, so let's deal with that after I finish the exam, okay?"

At the entrance of the teaching building, Tang Ye soothed the excited emotions of his fellow students.

But his words had little effect.

Having spent most of his time in Europe, Chinese fans rarely had the opportunity to meet Tang Ye in real life.

Let alone an opportunity for a face-to-face encounter like today.

"Tang Tang Qiuwang, remember not to cheat!"

"Tang Ye, I'll take the exam for you; can you play a match for our college? I also play midfield; I'll give you my position!"

"Wow!!! Tang Ye, play a college team match for us!"

"Brother Ye, who is your proctor? I'll take him out for you. I am Shao Chen from the Class of 2020, Department of History!"

Whenever someone volunteered their name, it was inevitably the name of some roommate.

However, Tang Ye, who hadn't spent much time in university, failed to catch on.

He only felt that the students of Peking University were extremely brave; they dared to announce their class or even their names before making a mistake.

"Sure, sure."

Tang Ye shook hands with "Shao Chen": "I am Tang Ye from the Class of 2019, Physical Education Department; nice to meet you, classmate, but I have to take my exam now, so..."

"Wow!!!!"

"Tang Tang Qiuwang, you're from the School of Economics, the School of Economics! Don't forget our School of Economics!"

"Tang Ye, there's also us from the School of Economics!"

When introducing himself, Tang Ye had used the identity of a student from the Department of Physical Education, which made his classmates from the School of Economics extremely nervous.

We agreed on dual studies in Sports and Economics; how could you forget about us in the School of Economics?

"Tang Ye, the School of Economics! You're from the School of Economics too; I'm in the same class as you. Last month, the teacher for the Marxism Basics course called your name; did you know? If you don't show up, you're going to fail!"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I know I'm from the School of Economics; I misspoke just now, sorry."

"But! I really have an exam right now; it starts at 3:00."

The area near Teaching Building No. 2 was far too chaotic; to avoid disturbing other students who also needed to take exams, Tang Ye could only hurry into the teaching building.

"Tang Ye, don't leave after school! Meet me at the May Fourth Playground!"

"I'm Chen Xuanwei, Class of 2020, Biological Sciences! Tang Ye, I challenge you in my real name; the loser must yield the title of World Number One!"

"Stop shouting my name!"

"Tang Ye, I'm Mao Mao Weijie, a master's student from the Class of 2017 in Business Administration. To be honest, Tang Ye, you're just a noob; do you dare to accept my challenge!"

"Got it, got it!"

Tang Ye turned around and raised his hand in acknowledgment: "I've noted you, Mao Mao Weijie!"

"Wow!!!"

"Haha!"

"Tang Tang Qiuwang, he isn't Mao Mao Weijie; I am Mao Mao Weijie. Damn, I didn't challenge you, hey!"

"Tang Ye, I am Mao Mao Weijie, noob Tang Ye!"

"Wow!! Hahaha!"

In just a few short minutes, Tang Ye had received at least forty challenge letters.

It goes to show that young people truly have immense guts; most of these forty-plus challenge letters included the sender's name and major.

Moreover, their stakes were incredibly exaggerated.

If they lost, they would retire on the spot or yield the title of World Number One!

With so many opponents and such terrifying challenges, Tang Ye had to carefully consider whether or not to accept these declarations of war.

Of course, what he needed to do right now was to complete today's exam!

【507】

At the front door of the examination room, Huang Qian Huang Qian Junwei, Director of the Department of Physical Education, and Zheng Zhi, a lecturer in the same department, stood together, closely observing Tang Ye, who was sitting in his seat scratching his hair.

The final exam for Macroeconomics was, to be honest, indeed somewhat brain-burning; unsurprisingly, Tang Ye was currently engaged in some incomparably complex calculations!

"To think such a huge star still has to take exams."

A smile played on Zheng Zhi's face; if other national team players knew what Tang Ye was doing during the off-season, they would surely laugh as well.

"This is Economics; all top-tier athletes must study this course. We are doing this for his own good."

"Isn't this too difficult for him? To be honest, we footballers haven't really attended many academic classes."

"Hey, don't worry about that."

Huang Qian Huang Qian Junwei placed his hand on Zheng Zhi's shoulder: "These questions were specially designed, and besides, we'll give him 99 points for regular performance; with a full score of 100, he only needs to score 25 to pass."
