Chapter 2584: A Blow to the Head

At this sight, a few students felt immense pressure; the anxiety kicked in.

"What if we come last?" They murmured among themselves and casually asked Duan Sanbao about the teachers’ potential reactions.

Duan Sanbao’s round eyes showed a childlike surprise as he said to them: "Last place?"

Would this group really be bad enough to come last? If that were the case, the teachers would feel their intelligence had been outright insulted. The teachers who recommended them for the competition had already assumed they couldn’t possibly come last.

The teachers’ thoughts are unfathomable; they really think of them as athletic champions. You should know that they’ve never participated in sports events at Guoxie.

No need to mention sports meets, they rarely come to Guodu, so they’re taking the opportunity to explore the campus.

The campus roads are characteristic, the bulletin boards plastered with posters for various events, along with some advertisers entering the campus to promote themselves. The students leaned in closer to the event flyers, checking out which big shots the medical college invited for lectures and maybe tonight they could drop by to hear the boss speak.

Soon, Wei Shangquan discovered new ground and turned to ask Duan Sanbao, who was with them: "Does Guodu Medical University have so many affiliated hospitals?"

"Yes." Duan Sanbao replied indifferently, as if this was nothing surprising.

Among the Three Major Capital Medical Colleges, Guoxie is the most conservative, having the fewest affiliated hospitals. The other two have hospitals popping up everywhere. Beidu’s numerous affiliated hospitals sound rather boastful to Guoxie members. Surprisingly, the most low-key Guodu Medical University is even scarier; a notice on the bulletin board revealed the Twelfth Clinical Medical College, showing that Guodu Medical University has twelve affiliated hospitals.

"Aren’t you from Capital, don’t you know?" Pan Shihua was even more surprised that Student Wei himself, a local, was unclear about the status of the Capital’s medical circle.

Wei Shangquan counted on his fingers for his fellow non-local students: "I still don’t know how many hospitals there are in the Capital circle. Not just me, everyone around me is unclear."

"Capital has over 1,000 medical institutions in total. More than 500 hospitals. Several dozen are top-tier hospitals." Dai Nanhui estimated a rough number.

"See. There are so many hospitals." Wei Shangquan continued the other’s words to show that his lack of clarity is quite normal.

Not all affiliated hospitals of these renowned medical schools necessarily make it to top-tier hospital status.

Looking now, among the Three Major Capital Medical Colleges, Guoxie is as stable as Mount Tai, akin to the firstborn born with a silver spoon in their mouth, unconcerned about having fewer hospitals or people. Beidu is an ambitious child, striving hard to defeat Guoxie, shouting slogans almost hoarsely. Guodu Medical University seems like the third child, quietly amassing wealth and territory without uttering a word.

In essence, local parents prefer this third child, as local hospitals have the most assets, and talent is equally abundant. Thus, if judged solely on locality, it’s hard to say who’s the firstborn; actually, it’s probably the third child, Guodu Medical University. The third child remains the most dutiful, focusing solely on local development, unlike the other two striving to make their names nationwide.

When several Guoxie students grasped this point, they felt like they had been dealt a blow to the head. After all, everyone knows Capital is the nation’s medical center, teeming with talent. The country’s best medical talent and technology are concentrated in the Capital circle. According to this data inference, Guodu Medical University concentrates the most Capital medical technology and talent; it should rightfully be the nation’s top, Guodu Medical University.
