Even Nancy and Luna couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Hahahaha...

After laughing, Nancy remembered something and quickly patted Linda's hand, "Linda, have you finished your competition?"

"Yep."

Linda nodded. "I finished around noon. But we have to wait until tomorrow when everyone is done competing to get the results. So if you ask me whether I made it or not, I don’t know yet. But I can responsibly tell you, I definitely made it."

That over-the-top confidence...

Nancy shook her head with a smile. Her amber eyes shone brightly as she gazed at Linda, "Then tell me, how did the competition go?"

"It was pretty simple..."

Linda shrugged, her face showing confident disdain.

"There were two examination rooms, each with two judges. After going in, each person had one minute to play any piece they wanted. After playing, the judges would score, but they won’t tell you your score. You just go back to the hotel and wait for the news."

This seemingly simple rule was actually not simple at all.

With only one minute, contestants had to bring out all their abilities to impress the judges within this short time.

For most people, they might not even get into the groove before time was up. It really tested the contestants' skills.

Seeing Nancy deep in thought, Linda frowned slightly and gently shook her uninjured hand, "You're really going to do it?"

"Yes!"

Nancy nodded earnestly, "I must go! No one can stop me."

Charlie and Andrew, hearing this, both looked at Nancy simultaneously.

The firm light in Nancy's amber eyes made them both shake their heads.

It seemed impossible to persuade her to wait until the evening.

The next day, outside the competition venue.

Even though half of the contestants had finished competing the day before, the venue was still bustling with people today.

Nancy, holding her number card, carefully walked forward in Charlie's arms.

Luna proved her worth at this moment, leading the way ahead.

"Excuse me, please let us through," she said to the left.

"Sorry, it's almost our turn, please make way," she said to the right.

In this crowded environment, with Luna leading the way and Charlie protecting Nancy, they finally made it to the front.

A staff member was calling out, "Line up, line up, hurry up, don't be chaotic. Agents, family, and friends, please stand back, don't block the contestants' way, let's all cooperate..."

Nancy's number was seventy-eight. She looked around and finally saw someone with the number seventy-seven. She immediately approached and politely said, "Excuse me, I'm number seventy-eight."

The person was a blonde woman with green eyes. Generally, Europeans are taller than Asians, and this woman was 176 cm tall. She looked down at Nancy as if looking at a child.

"Knowing you're supposed to be in front and still coming so late? How am I supposed to move back? There are people behind me; if I step back, I'll step on them. You people from obscure small countries just have no manners!"

Her tone was obviously nasty, with a mix of contempt and impatience. Nancy's face instantly darkened...
