Genius Playground

Chapter 47 Lucky Girl
That's right.

At this point, many things are no longer important.

What caused Cheng Mengxue's death?
unimportant.

Why did I lose my memory at that time?

unimportant.

Why did they take a longer route instead of going to the exam venue?

unimportant.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... none of it matters.

The only important thing is—

[Find the positron cannon as soon as possible, send a time-space text message, and revive Xiaoxue!]

What Qin Feng's tricks and secrets,

What's with Nan Xiuxiu's lingering ghost?

They're all at the back.

Let's pull Xiaoxue back from the grave of the world line first.

Picking up the petition covered in signatures, Jiang Ran quickly left the screening room to find Senior Yan Rui.

……

"You're really resourceful; you actually managed to get your hands on something like this."

Senior Yan Rui looked at the paper filled with signatures and exclaimed in amazement:

"I dare say that although this club rule does exist, this petition is absolutely the first case of a club being able to use this rule to save itself."

Obvious.

Because someone with such connections and power would never encounter the problem of their organization being dissolved.

"However, being able to postpone the closure of the film company for a year is indeed a good thing."

After the initial surprise, Yan Rui's eyes filled with joy:
"The thought of the film studio going out of business under my leadership made me feel quite bad. But thankfully, you were there, and you helped the film studio live for another year."

"Once the new semester starts and freshmen enter the school, you will definitely be able to recruit more like-minded partners and rebuild the club."

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let's go to the student association management office to reinstate the association's status and hand over the president's position."

"From now on... you will be the owner of this activity room and the new president of the film club!"

With that, Yan Rui walked towards the door.

Walking and looking back:
"To be honest, I didn't even know which college or major you were in."

"Forehead……"

Jiang Ran scratched his head, unsure how to answer.

Now that things have come to this, I can no longer hide my identity and have no choice but to tell the truth:

"I'm sorry, Senior Yan Rui, I didn't have time to explain before. Actually... I'm not a student at Donghai University, I study at another school."

???

Yan Rui's eyes widened.

"what?"

He never expected Jiang Ran to pull this stunt:
"Are you kidding me?"

He could not laugh or cry.

If you're not a student at Tunghai University, why would you care so much about the fate of the Tunghai University Film Club?
This is so unreasonable.

"Okay, I can't be bothered to pursue the other issues, but the problem is..."

Yan Rui frowned:

"How can I transfer the club president position to you if you're not a student at Tunghai University?"

"No matter what, it's impossible for a student from another school to be the president of a club, right? That's ridiculous."

Jiang Ran sighed, feeling helpless.

Who told him that in this timeline he was just a college student?
Yan Rui's point is very real. The position of club president can be given to anyone, but it is impossible for a student from another school to take on the role.

The best solution is to find a trustworthy friend from the school and have him temporarily serve as the president of the club.

After all, Jiang Ran's only goal was the positron cannon; he didn't care about the survival of the film company at all. He just wanted to use the company president's name to retrieve the positron cannon, nothing more.

Unfortunately……

Although he knew many people at Tunghai University, after the course of history changed, those former friends no longer knew him, so he couldn't ask them for help.

Yan Rui saw that Jiang Ran was silent and knew that the other party was in a predicament.

He certainly wanted the film company to continue, so he looked down at the hard-won petition, closed his eyes, and pondered a way out.

"correct."

He clapped his hands suddenly, remembering someone:

"Oh right, about two months ago, a sophomore girl approached me and said she wanted to join the film club."

"But at that time, the club's membership had been revoked, and I was busy with my graduation thesis defense, so I declined her offer."

"That girl seemed to really like film photography; she was definitely a passionate enthusiast. She talked to me for a long time... Of course, I didn't understand anything, since I was once dragged along by my seniors just to make up the numbers."

"If you don't mind, I'll call that girl over and have her take over as president of the film company. What do you think?"

Jiang Ran couldn't have gotten it:

"Of course it's no problem!"

This is truly a godsend. He only wants the positron cannon; he doesn't care at all who becomes the president of the film company—it doesn't matter if they're human or ghost.

"Okay, I'll call her over."

Senior Yan Rui took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to the girl.

Ten minutes later.

A figure arrived in a flash.

"Really!?"

She stared incredulously at the petition, then looked up at Jiang Ran:

"Senior! You're amazing! You actually managed to revive the film club!"

"No, no, no."

Jiang Ran waved his hand:
"I'm not an upperclassman, we're both sophomores, we're in the same year."

"But you look older than me," the girl argued.

Jiang Ran and Yan Rui stared at her speechlessly...

She is petite, at most 155 cm tall, even when wearing platform shoes;
She has a soft, cute voice, a youthful face, wears an adorable dress, and has two little buns tied on her head.
This chibi-style college student looks older than everyone else!
If Jiang Ran saw her outside the university, she would definitely think she was a primary school student, and she would feel that simply talking to her would be a crime.

During the ten-odd minutes of waiting, Yan Rui gave a brief introduction.

This girl's name is Chi Xiaoguo. She comes from Guangxi, so in addition to being petite, she also has a sweet and coquettish voice.

As her name suggests, she is indeed a very cute little girl, who seems quite out of place with an old-fashioned item like a film camera.

"That means the film company can continue, and I can join the film company too!"

Chi Xiaoguo smiled, revealing two tiger teeth, and looked at Yan Rui:

"Right, senior? Is that right?"

Yan Rui nodded:
“That’s right. With this petition, as long as I transfer the position of club president to you, the deadline for dissolving the club can be extended by one year.”

"If we can recruit enough members within a year, then the film company can continue to operate normally."

"Yay! That's great!"

Chi Xiaoguo's eyes were full of stars:
"Sometimes I think about it and I realize how lucky I am, so lucky that I can hardly believe it."

"The film publishing house, which was on the verge of closing down, miraculously came back to life at the last minute; just like when I applied to Tunghai University, it seemed hopeless, but then—"

"[In the end, I was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts with the lowest score in the entire academy!]"

"Hehe, when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up; it seems like I always manage to find a lucky break."

……

The Academy of Fine Arts is the academy Cheng Mengxue attended before the timeline shifted.

the last place.

How incredibly lucky!

If she had missed the cutoff score by just one point or had one more applicant, Chi Xiaoguo would have failed the exam and missed her chance to attend Tunghai University.

Huh?
Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat.

One more person...

Last place...

What is your major?

Jiang Ran already had a premonition of what was going on:
"It can't be, it's an art and design major, can it?"

"what?"

Chi Xiaoguo blinked, clearly indicating that her guess had been correct.

She was somewhat surprised:
"Yeah, senior, I'm from Art Design Class 2306, how did you guess...?"

Jiang Ran looked at Chi Xiaoguo without saying a word.

Art Design Class 2306.

This was Cheng Mengxue's class before the world line shifted.

Jiang Ran knew very well that there were 26 students in Cheng Mengxue's class, 10 boys and 16 girls, and there was no one named Chi Xiaoguo among them.

【closed loop】.

He just figured it out.

This is the closed loop of the spacetime butterfly effect.

The number of students admitted to each major at a university is fixed.

Admitting one more high-scoring student inevitably means admitting one less low-scoring student; making the list for one more person means making the list for one more person who fails to get in.

In the original timeline, Chi Xiaoguo was undoubtedly a student who failed the college entrance exam, missing out on admission to Donghai University by one ranking.

However, after the world line shifts, history changes, and Chi Xiaoguo's life trajectory also changes accordingly.

Cheng Mengxue died unexpectedly two years ago, so it was impossible for her to fill out college applications or attend Tunghai University.

The butterfly effect occurred at that moment, impacting the life of a little girl in Guangxi, thousands of miles away.

Cheng Mengxue's absence freed up an admission spot for the art and design major, allowing them to admit one more student.

The person who "replaced" Cheng Mengxue to study at Tunghai University...

A girl whose fate was changed by the butterfly effect...

That's right, Chi Xiaoguo.
