Even laymen could see from the introduction to ISC just how difficult this international science competition was.
Not to mention, the other five people had all made their mark in the academic domain.
They either had won gold medals in international competitions or had been preliminarily accepted by some of the world's top universities.
By comparison, Ying Zijin, who didn't have a single credential, really didn't measure up.
ISC was buzzing, but since the competition hadn't started yet, the buzz wasn't too high and it hadn't hit the trending searches list.
Only those who had seen the list on the official science website knew about it, so there weren't many netizens discussing it.
#Hua Country Direct Pass to International Competition Candidates#, the topic, had 306,000 views and 348 people discussing it.
It was far from the 50th hot search and didn't even have as many views as #How Entertaining Is a Cat Yawning#.
However, some netizens recognized the name Ying Zijin.
