Chapter 307


    Chapter 307 How Could She Be the First


    As it was close to noon, many people in the vi came downstairs to have lunch.


    Freya nced around and saw that everyone had the same idea as the girl before, buying the


    cheapest instant noodles that couldst them a few days.


    In the eyes of most people, thepetition was the most important.


    It seemed that no one was nning to earn coins yet.


    Freya narrowed her eyes and thought that maybe if she and Brisa went now, they might be able to


    snatch a decent task.


    The people here were looking at Freya with strange looks, so the two of them didn’t stay downstairs for


    long and simply carried the self-heating hot pot upstairs.


    On the balcony of the third floor, Freya pondered and shared her thoughts with Brisa.


    “Right, at this time, there shouldn’t be many people going to ept tasks yet. Everyone is preparing to


    endure these few days. If someone goes to ept tasks first, maybe the production team will give


    some preferential treatment to attract others to go and do the


    tasks.”


    Freya nodded. “Yes, let’s go and take a look in the afternoon.”


    Brisa agreed, and it was already half past noon when they finished lunch. The vi once again echoed


    with the sound of an announcement.


    “All contestants, please gather at the pink beach before one o’clock in the afternoon.”


    There wereints in the vi, and Freya and Brisa quickly tidied. up downstairs.


    There were still many contestants grumbling on the first floor.


    and went


    “They woke us up so early in the morning, and now they want us to go out during nap time. Why is this


    competition so troublesome?”


    “Isn’t it because Freya has attracted so much attention with her poprity? With so many people


    paying attention now, they must make some gimmicks to trouble us.”


    The two people who were talking looked up and saw Freya and Brisaing down from upstairs, and


    they immediately went silent.


    Freya didn’t really care. This was apetition in the first ce. She would let the people

    say what they wanted to say. After all, she didn’te here to make friends. However, Brisa’s eyes


    swept coldly over the two people as she narrowed her eyes.


    The two women suddenly felt as if a steel knife was ced on their necks, feeling a chill, and they fell


    silent in fear.


    Outside the vi, only half of the people had arrived on the beach.


    Freya looked at the time. It was already 12:50 p.m.


    There were ten minutes left until one o’clock in the afternoon.


    When it was time, the staff and a leader from the organizingmittee appeared on the beach on time.


    Freya, while waiting, watched the staff constantly check their watch and sensed that. something was


    wrong.


    Helga arrived at thest minute. She had just joined the queue.


    The staff shouted, “Time’s up.”


    The other people who were walking over from a distance were startled and immediately picked up their


    pace toward this side.


    The staff looked at them and only said when they came close, “Unfortunately, you have been


    eliminated.”


    “What?”


    “Why are we eliminated?!” The girl who was leading them was shocked.


    “Ourpetition has rules, and I hope everyone can respect the rules. You werete for the first time


    this morning, and I didn’t say anything. But if you keep doing it again and again. with this attitude of


    yours, no matter how good the perfume you create is, you won’t be able to establish yourself in this


    society.”


    The faces of the girls turned ugly, and they gritted their teeth. “You are deliberately reducing the


    number of contestants, aren’t you?”


    There were also two men following behind the girls. There weren’t many male perfumers, and the two


    of them immediately looked angry after hearing the words.


    “Why are we eliminated?”


    The organizingmittee staff nced at the two of them.

    2/4


    “You have no sense of punctuality, so you are not worthy of being a perfumer.”


    “What does being a perfumer have to do with having a sense of punctuality?” they shouted.


    “Many times, the production process of perfume requires attention to time. If you go out into society like


    this, even if you find a goodpany or establish your own brand of perfume, there is no guarantee of


    the quality of your products. You don’t respect this profession at all.”


    The staff continued, “If you are interested, fix your own problems ande back to participate next


    year. But if you continue to cause trouble, the organizingmittee will permanently cancel your


    qualification to participate.”


    The group fell silent. Everyone here was in this profession and knew the authority and importance of


    thispetition. If they wanted to have a ce in the industry, they had to show some talent in this


    competition.


    After a while, although some people were unwilling, they obediently left.


    Freya looked at Helga beside her, who seemed a bit shocked and was clutching her chest.


    She came at just the right time this time, Freya thought.


    After theters left, the staff turned to look at every one of them.


    “The perfumes you have created have been evaluated, and now we will announce the results.”


    Freya and Brisa stood among the crowd, and without turning around, Freya could feel many eyes


    staring at her back, with mocking and sneering voices constantly entering her ears.


    “Freya will definitely be eliminated this time, right?”


    “Nonsense. If she’s not eliminated, then who will be?” a woman mocked, her voice sharp.


    Helga heard the mockingughter and nced at Freya, feeling somewhat proud.


    See, this is the consequence of refusing my help. Did Freya really think she could pass the first round


    with her own abilities? thought Helga, and a smile appeared on her lips.


    Next was the time for the staff to read the list. Everyone on the list would be eliminated.


    As the names were read one by one, everyone was waiting for Freya’s name to appear, but it never


    did.


    Everyone was puzzled.


    “What’s going on? Could there be something fishy about thispetition? Why wasn’t Freya

    eliminated?”


    “How could there be something fishy in thepetition? Wouldn’t that ruin their reputation?”


    “It seems that Freya really made it through, but how did she manage to create a perfume?”


    Amidst the discussions, all the eliminated contestants were announced, and half of the people had to


    leave.


    Some were unwilling, some cried out in pain, and some were determined toe back next year. Each


    person had a different expression.


    Freya stood still, her expression still calm. The organizingmittee staff nced at Freya and


    nodded with satisfaction.


    The staff continued, “Next, we will proceed with the room selection. In order to be fair, we will use the


    rankings from this top 50 preliminary round as a reference. The first-ce winner will choose a room


    first, followed by the second, third, and so on until the fifty- second ce. Do you understand?”


    The contestants nodded and said they understood, so the staff began to read out the list.


    Helga’s face instantly became proud. Among the contestants this time, although there were many


    outstanding ones, she had obtained in advance the theme of “First Love” through som


    means!


    She had studied for a month and created a perfume with a bitter chrysanthemum scent, wit a lingering


    taste of bitterness and a hint of citrus sweetness, which was very suitable for the

    theme “First Love.”
