Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they entered the main hall, there were already more than twenty people inside. They looked very different from each other, with various facials features and physical characteristics, representing the diverse background they hailed from. Coming from all over the world, they were here vying for a chance to join the World Association of Perfu.
Qin Yu was considered a brand new face among these people.
Because it had always been Ah Bei who represented Qin Yu in participating various events and interviews almost nobody knew Qin Yu.
After Qin Yu entered, she did not say anything. She stood quietly by the wall, trying to minimize her presence.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a woman in a white robe walked in and led the group inside.
After passing through a long corridor, the group entered a round hall. The ceiling of the hall was made of colored glass. The height of the hall was almost as high as seven or eight floors. The walls were all made of wooden shelves, the wooden shelves were made of countless small square squares, and inside the small squares were jars of various shapes.
Although the ventilation was good here, Qin Yu could still sll the strange sll of thousands of spices mixed together as soon as she entered this place.
It seed that the squares on the walls were filled with all kinds of spices.
There were two long rows of tables and chairs on the floor of the hall. There were a total of 25 groups. Beside each table stood a girl in a white robe. It seed that she was an assistant.
There were a total of 25 people participating in this eting. This should be the venue for the competition.
It was Qin Yu’s first ti coming to such a place. She was a little nervous. She took a few deep breaths and inhaled the sll of all kinds of spices into her chest. She felt that the nas and characteristics of these spices would soon appear in her mind and felt a little more confident and less nervous.
“Okay, this is the venue for the competition. Please take your seats,” A man in a suit said.
Qin Yu randomly found a table close to her and sat down. The others also sat down.
After the man in a suit announced so of the rules of the competition, the competition officially started.
The first competition was to identify perfus.
The assistant next to each participating mber brought a row of wooden shelves. On the wooden shelves were ten spray bottles containing perfus of different colors.
The content of the competition was to write the formulas for these perfus within six minutes.
This was almost unheard of in the outside world.
Although the perfur’s nose was very sensitive, it was still extrely difficult to identify the ingredients of ten perfus within six minutes.
Qin Yu guessed that probably no one could completely write out the formula for these perfus. They must have done their best. The more they wrote, the higher the score.
After the man in the suit started the ti, Qin Yu did not make any unnecessary movents. She imdiately took out the first spray bottle, sprayed it in the air, and used the scent testing paper to absorb the fragrance. Then, she sniffed it under her nose.
Qin Yu had never slled any of these perfus before. Many of them did not sll good either, but they all had one characteristic — complexity.
Each perfu probably had dozens or hundreds of ingredients.
Qin Yu sniffed it for almost a second before she started to read the na of the perfu.
The other perfurs next to her also started to read the na of the perfu they slled in different languages.
However, the others more or less paused, while Qin Yu spoke very quickly, as if she did not think at all and was just reading from the formula.
Even the assistant who was used to big scenes could not help but look at Qin Yu in surprise.
After chanting for more than 30 seconds, Qin Yu had already said the nas of more than 50 spices. Without hesitation, she put down the test tube in her hand and took out the next test tube.
The pungent and irritating gas assaulted her face, as if it was going to make her olfactory organs fail.
Qin Yu resisted the discomfort and calmly analyzed the pungent spices.
The fragrance of these test tubes ca in all kinds of flavors. An ordinary perfur might start to feel dizzy after slling a few tubes, and it would be even more difficult to maintain a calm judgnt.
Qin Yu’s heart was beating extrely fast. She forced herself to keep her composure. She ignored all emotional interference and focused on analyzing the perfu.
The speed and procedure of her analysis of each perfu was almost the sa. She managed to say fifty nas for the ingredients in each perfu.
After giving out the perfu formula for the last perfu, it was ti. The assistant next to her walked to the judging panel at the end of the hall with a voice recording machine and presented the perfu formula that everyone had submitted.
After the first round, Qin Yu felt that her body was about to collapse. She rubbed her nose and pressed between her eyebrows to dispel the tiredness and waited patiently for the result.
After more than ten minutes, the assistants returned. So of them still stood next to the contestants without saying a word, while others bowed to the contestants to express their gratitude.
This ant that the contestant was eliminated.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the seats for the twenty-five people were empty.
