After a minute.

Qin Hanqiu turned to face Tang Jun with his phone in his hand. Xiao Cheng said it will start on the 20th at 9 oclock.

Elder Li was stunned after hearing this and looked in Tang Juns direction.

Tang Jun was standing beside Qin Hanqiu. His expression remained the same, and he said while smiling, On the 20th? Well definitely go.

Qin Ran and the school team stayed at the residence arranged by the ICNE organizers.

Butler Qin stayed in a hotel located near both Qin Ran and Qin Xiuchen.

Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin did not consider staying at Tang Juns place at all. Butler Qin didnt realize that Tang Jun was special and so did not think much about it.

But now

Even though Elder Li was polite to Qin Hanqiu, Butler Qin did not feel that he was being sincere. Ever since the first time they met, he didnt care much about Beijing and sounded indifferent when talking about Beijings forces.

Tang Jun didnt mind heading to the Tang family once he reached Continent M. However, his family members would likely act similarly to Elder Li.

Although the Qin family had fallen, Butler Qin still retained its strong characteristics.

They only reached Qin Hanqius hotel after a few hours.

After Tang Jun looked at the hotel, he felt quite satisfied.

It was late when they reached it. Tang Jun stayed the night in the hotel suite.

As he had to rush to Qin Rans competition on the 20th, Tang Jun left for Tang Family on the second day to settle some matters.

The car was parked downstairs.

In the car, Elder Li hesitated and asked him, Chairman, the youngsters will be coming on the 20th

As a hacker, Tang Jun kept his identity a secret. There were no photos of him on the Internet, and his information and particulars were also not found. Those who knew his identity were his close friends.

Tang Jun wanted to groom a few young people.

Elder Li didnt expect him to attend a Physics competition of someone distant from the Tang Family on the 20th.

Its okay. Tang Jun waved his hand disapprovingly. Its not easy to find time to meet my grandniece.

Tang Jun observed that Qin Hanqiu, Butler Qin, and Qin Ling all had different expressions once he mentioned his grandniece that he had not met.

It made him feel like they were all submissive to her.

This was why Tang Jun was determined to meet Qin Ran.

Elder Li listened to Tang Juns words. He could sense his determination and did not speak further. He felt a sense of pity.

Regarding Miss Tangs children, should we inform the rest of the Tang family? Elder Li changed the topic.

In the beginning, there were two exceptional talents in the Tang family.

Tang Jun secretly managed the Hacker Alliance, and his sister was highly looked up to. However, she disappeared without a trace.

After a decade, the Tang family finally found some clues.

Elder Li didnt expect that the extraordinary Miss Tang would get married to the Qin family in Beijing despite the many eligible men in Continent M. She even passed away together with the Qin familys Old Master without any explanation.

Once found, they would have to go to the Tang family to pay respects to their ancestors.

We can ask them slowly two days later. Tang Jun looked outside the window. After some thought, he said, Let them slowly accept it before we ask them.

Tang Jun could tell that Qin Hanqiu didnt know much about Continent Ms forces.

On the other side.

Qin Ran and Nan Huiyao reached the hostel arranged by the Research Institute.

The hostel often hosted research teams. It was a suite with five rooms.

The Research Institute was situated in the center of Continent M. It was near the National Violin Association, and Matthews building was two streets away.

Those situated near Matthews territory in Continent M shouldnt be easily provoked.

The National Violin Association was backed by the Mas family.

Not to mention Continent Ms Research Institute. The research projects were horrifying, and the big boss had to give face to these researchers.

Especially since they had to rely on them for thermal weapons.

Their building was built nearby Matthews as it was a safe location. It would be dangerous in other areas.

With support from the big boss, Continent Ms Research Institute had a lot of money and could spend a lot on the top physics students participating in ICNE.

Its your first time in Continent M. When Qin Ran and the rest put down their luggage, Dean Jiang of Beijing University Physics Department gathered the five of them and solemnly said, I have explained the rules. Remember them carefully. I will remind you one last time: do not wander around. The Research Institute is the safest place in Continent M, but do not let your guard down, because even Continent M Research Institutes Dean might not be able to protect you.

Qin Ran thought about the last key point but listened to Dean Jiangs reminders.

The other four had serious expressions.

Dean Jiang talked to Dr. Zhou and hurriedly left for the stadium for a meeting.

This was the highest award in the physics department and was highly regarded by people from many countries. The process was specific and formal with an opening and a closing ceremony. The ICNE committee was specially picked from the best of the best in the physics department.

Sister Qin, did you hear Dean Jiang say that Continent Ms Research Institutes Dean Lao En was part of the committee? Even the Great Master Mi Luo from Country Y who won first place during the 16, 17, and 18 games consecutively is here! Xing Kai was very excited as it was his first encounter with someone on such a level.

On the way, Dean Jiang told them about some famous people in Continent M.

Mi Luo was 18 years old when he won the ICNE competition and became historys youngest winner.

He had won for three consecutive years.

Now, he was still below 25 years old, yet he had become part of the committee. Other people his age had just started joining the competition.

February 20th.

One hundred teams arrived at the ICNE competition site.

The competition began.
