Chapter 242: Finals
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The third and final round was held two days later.
Those who made it to the third round were not ordinary people. No one expected Qin Yu, a new face in the circle, to beat more than twenty world-class perfumers and become one of the final three candidates. They were all extremely surprised.
A few of the perfumers even tried to strike up a conversation with Qin Yu.
However, after the match ended, Guan Yue and Ah Nan came to pick Qin Yu up, thwarting their chances.
“How was it?”
It was already past three o’clock in the morning. Ah Nan was worried about the result of the match and had stayed up all night until now. Her eyes were red as she asked Qin Yu nervously.
“We passed the first two rounds. Now, with me included, there are a total of three people. The final match will be held in two days.” Qin Yu rubbed her sore eyes and sounded a little tired.
“Oh my god, what a torture!” Ah Nan let out a wail. She paused and gave Qin Yu a thumbs up. “Boss, you are really amazing! If it were me, I wouldn’t even be able to last through the first round.”
Qin Yu smiled indifferently and didn’t say anything.
“But I heard that the previous years’ contestants were all wiped out. In the end, no one was able to enter the World Association of Perfume. If this is also the case this year, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?” Guan Yue said with some worry.
Ah Nan frowned and glared at Guan Yue. “Can’t you say something nice?”
“I’m sorry. I’m just talking nonsense.” Guan Yue immediately shut his mouth obediently after being glared at by Ah Nan.
After a restless two days, it was the day of the finals.
Qin Yu came to the hall where the first and second round of the competition were held. However, this time, the hall was no longer overcrowded. There were only four people in total —
Three contestants and the man in a suit.
Besides Qin Yu, the other two contestants, a middle-aged woman in a traditional retro dress, looked to be in her forties.
The other was an old man with white hair.
Among them, Qin Yu, who was only in her early twenties, was particularly eye-catching.
The man in a suit looked at Qin Yu with a hint of surprise on his face.
In such a stark contrast, Qin Yu’s capabilities was even more obvious. She was only in her early twenties, yet she had eliminated so many top-notch perfumers. She had limitless potential, she might even become a new legend in the industry.
“All of you are outstanding individuals who stood out from the contestants. First of all, congratulations on reaching the final round. Regardless of your results later, you will become lifelong members of the World Association of Perfume and enjoy plenty of benefits that comes with the membership.”
After the man in the suit finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to the three of them and continued, “The third and final round of the competition begins, now!”
After preparations were done, the three of them arrived at a plaza paved with marble floors.
There was a huge crowd with many pedestrians about. In the middle of the square was a statue of a goddess, and dozens of white doves flew around the statue.
“If you’re ready, let’s begin,” the man in a suit’s voice sounded through the earpiece.
The three contestants were sitting in three tour buses. The tour buses were specially made, and there was a blower installed around the body of the bus. There was a small flag on the front of the bus.
Qin Yu touched the button in front of the driver’s seat and hesitated for a moment.
She did not expect that the final competition would be conducted in this way.
The final competition was called — world-shaking fragrance.
Each participant would make a perfume on the spot and then spray it on the tour bus. The fragrance would be blown away by the blower and dispersed in the air. In the end, whoever had the most people gathered next to the bus would be the winner, according to the ranking, the three of them would get different points. Finally, with the voting of the judges, they would be ranked.
The requirement to enter the organization association was that the total score of the first place had to be 50% higher than that of the second place.
In other words, whether it was the public’s opinion or the votes of the judges, the first place would need to have an absolute advantage.
This was also the reason why nobody could enter the ultimate competition so far.
It might not be so difficult to get first place, but it was difficult to dominate the competition.
Qin Yu clenched her fists — was there really such a legendary perfumer?
There must be. The other members of the World Association of Perfume had achieved such results, including Qi Heng.
Only now did Qin Yu know how terrifying Qi Heng’s strength was.
Before arriving at the plaza, Qin Yu began to think about what kind of perfume could attract the most people while she was making perfumes in the hall.
When she thought about tutoring in perfume knowledge, she would look at strange things to adjust her body and mind even when she was tired. She once read a story about a talented perfumer, he killed more than a dozen girls with his crazy creativity, extracted their body fragrance to make a perfume, and finally made a bottle of legendary perfume that could turn people crazy.
Although this story was very magical, there was still something worth thinking about.
The most attractive perfume was definitely the perfume that could make people go crazy.
