Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 389 - 269 Who didn’t give full marks??_2

Xie Yuan looked puzzledly at Professor Bian, "Master, didn’t you say... she’s a novice?"

Professor Bian was also at a loss but felt both shock and joy.

One look from an expert and it was clear that Xia Ye’s experimental procedures were highly standardized, especially the way she pinched the instruments, which was much steadier than the first time he let Xia Ye try.

It was unexpected that this rebellious and casual-looking girl had been diligently practicing unnoticed...

Dean Fan scratched his head, feeling the same surprise he did when he first saw Xia Ye’s paper.

Choosing a level 5 experiment, it seems she wasn’t just messing around aimlessly...

What was thought to be a clear-cut competition turned out to be unexpectedly tense.

Michelle and Dou Liang just watching had their hands shaking involuntarily, anxious for Xia Ye.

Doing such a high-difficulty large-scale experiment required a strong mental state.

Those two definitely wouldn’t make it.

Everyone from Beijing University was watching Xia Ye, while those from Nanling focused on Jia Junyu’s movements.

However, right now they could only analyze based on the experimental procedures and didn’t know how accurate the nucleic acid detection results would be for the two.

In this experiment, the judges wouldn’t just look at their procedures; after the experiment ended, dedicated inspectors would check the accuracy of their nucleic acid tests. So, even if the steps looked fancy, a low accuracy rate would mean it was all in vain.

From the big screen, the performance on Jia Junyu’s side also wasn’t bad, strictly adhering to the textbook procedures, complete and standardized, but he knew that from the beginning his heart hadn’t been steady.

Xia Ye was undistracted, proceeding through the experiment step by step at her own pace.

Meanwhile, Jia Junyu frequently looked up at the clock, very nervous, but the assessment didn’t forbid looking at the time, so no points would be deducted.

Xia Ye had disregarded the standard procedures from the start, combining three plates for the experiment at once, which significantly sped up her experimental pace, putting an immense pressure on Jia Junyu.

He absolutely couldn’t allow himself to be outperformed by a freshman from Beijing University; that would be ridiculous.

His back was drenched in sweat and with his unsettled heart, even if the procedure was correct, the accuracy of the nucleic acid test was likely to be difficult to reach 50%.

Yet, during practice at the university, he had achieved results with accuracy rates over 60%...

Jia Junyu turned his head to glance at Xia Ye, her silhouette was as composed as ever.

He forced himself to steady his spirit, maybe the other side was just putting on an act, and the final accuracy rate might not even reach 10%.

...

Finally, Xia Ye finished the hybridization step half an hour ahead of schedule and ended the experiment.

And Jia Junyu put down his instruments with five minutes left until the regulated time.

"Amazing, to have completed such a difficult experiment ahead of time."

"Who do you guess will come out on top?"

"I’m rooting for Jia Junyu. He’s the pride of Nanling University, and that girl from Beijing University did the experiment too quickly, her accuracy rate can’t be good..."

Two inspectors, one on the left and one on the right, began checking the nucleic acid results of both participants at the same time. freeweɓnøvel.com

From the experiment to the lengthy testing process, there was no break, yet Shen Zhiqiao became increasingly irritable as she watched.

Even before the results came out, the high caliber Xia Ye exhibited throughout the experiment was completely unexpected to her.

What mattered more was that several times she had looked at her brother, only to find his eyes fixed on Xia Ye, without a single flicker away.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that not even in video conferences with directors had her brother shown such focus.

The two inspectors meticulously checked Xia Ye and Jia Junyu’s instruments, as if the scene was frozen in time.

Dean Fan started pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Professor Bian, what do you estimate Xia Ye’s accuracy rate could be?"

Professor Bian rubbed his hands: "Maybe... 30%? After all, she’s just a student, not a professional from the Life Sciences Institute who are expected to reach 70-80%."

Dean Fan nodded in agreement, his gaze slowly shifting to Xia Ye.

In theory, the experimenter roughly knew how much activity remained.

So, he kept trying to discern something from Xia Ye’s expression in advance.

But Xia Ye’s expression hardly changed at all from beginning to end, making it impossible to read anything from it.

Soon, the accuracy of Jia Junyu’s nucleic acids was finalized, the inspector announced in a steady voice: "Jia Junyu’s accuracy rate, 38%."

One percent is ten percent.

38%, not even 40%!

Upon hearing this answer, Jia Junyu pressed his lips firmly together.

In the auditorium, the folks from Nanling University also felt a tinge of disappointment.

Only 38%?
