Qiao Zhiya is a hybrid. Before he was born, his elf father wanted him to have a strong physique unique to dwarfs; while his dwarf mother wanted him to have a tall body unique to elves. And then he ...
At 7:30 in the evening, Georgia came online on time, teleported into the player's room, took out the electronic notebook, and made final confirmation and modifications to the finalized mecha design drawings.
After finalizing the last data, he was just about to take a look at his design as a whole when a familiar hand reached out and took away the electronic book in front of him. At the same time, a familiar voice sounded above his head: "Is this the mecha you designed?"
Georgia was startled, and looked up quickly. Seeing Chu Rong standing in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she happily walked around the console and rushed over, asking, "Why are you online? Aren't you on your way back?"
Chu Rong moved the electronic book away and hugged him, saying, "The ship is landing, so come up and take a look first. You can only continue watching the game after you get home."
It turns out that he took time out specially to come here.
Georgia laughed even more happily after hearing this, and said, "Business is more important, you don't have to rush to go online..."
Chu Rong curled his lips without answering, and suddenly lowered his head to kiss him, then looked at the electronic book in his hand, repeated the previous question, and asked: "Is this the mecha you designed?"
Georgia's attention was drawn back. She glanced at the mecha with a black background and gold patterns on the electronic book, nodded shyly, and replied, "Well, this is the final design. Do you... do you like it?"
It was a very majestic mecha, with a heavy but not bulky appearance, taller than traditional mechas, without any superfluous designs on the exterior, perfectly designed according to the proportions of the human skeleton, with clean lines and full of power. It was like a real person wearing this black armor standing there, staring at you, ready to attack at any time.
With the development of mecha manufacturing, the appearance design has slowly begun to develop in a more high-tech and cooler direction, especially the Xiang family. It seems that if they don’t come up with some new ideas in the shape of the mecha, it will show that the mecha is not special.
Influenced by the Xiang family, the current trend in mecha design has become more and more "fancy", and almost all of the new generation of mecha manufacturers have been led astray.
Although some "fancy" mechas can indeed become more powerful if used properly, Chu Rong doesn't like them and even hates them.
He likes neat and clean things, which can be seen from the fact that the mechas equipped by his subordinates are all ordinary gray. No matter how fancy the mechas are, as long as the basic attack power is guaranteed, the strength of the mecha warriors is the key to victory in the war. Sometimes overly complicated designs are a burden.
The most taboo in battle is distraction. With so many operational tricks, people will inevitably feel burdened. Now even the driving system has been developing in the direction of simplicity and refinement, but the Xiang family is crazy. They don't do research on the driving system, but insist on fighting with the mecha shape, and they are complacent about it.
The mecha in this design drawing is black, tall, neat, and clean in appearance, all of which are the elements he likes. It is obvious that this is a customized mecha. Judging from the body proportions of this mecha, it is self-evident who it is customized for.
"I like it." How could he not like it? Of course he would like such a carefully prepared gift.
He suddenly remembered what Georgia had said before, that they would get engaged and give him a gift after the competition. His heart moved, and he looked at the design with more and more satisfaction, and even felt some blind confidence and pride.
"The mecha you made must be the best."
He praised it in a domineering and affirmative tone, which made Georgia blush even more. She hurriedly explained, "Actually, this is just a semi-finished product. I haven't studied the most critical part yet."
Chu Rong raised his hand and touched his head, and said casually: "Is it the engine? Take your time, I believe you."
Georgia was stunned, looked up at him, tilted her head and rubbed his palm, without saying anything.
For him, the key to the successful production of a mecha is not the engine. He is confident that he will have a complete grasp of the engine production method when the competition reaches the engine part. Even if he cannot make an advanced one, he should be able to make an intermediate one.
What he was unsure about was the sensing system of the manually-piloted mecha.
For this competition, he planned to only make the appearance of the mecha, and install the mental driving system first when assembling it, to mislead those who were watching the competition. He planned to secretly research the real matching manual driving sensor system, and when the research results came out, he would hand the results to Mr. Ren, and then actually make this mecha in reality.
The two chatted for a while with their own thoughts. When the game was about to start, Chu Rong put down the electronic notebook, kissed Georgia on the forehead again, then operated something on the communicator and went offline directly.
Georgia was somewhat puzzled by his last operation. After sitting back at the operating table, she casually looked up and her eyes widened unconsciously.
On the countdown board for the start of the game, the data representing the odds of the bet showed that the first elimination was greater than the advancement value, which means that there were more people who bet on him to win than those who bet on him to lose!
Georgia, who already knew what the data represented, was stunned, and then was dumbfounded when he saw a familiar ID suddenly appearing after the data and the sky-high bets that followed.
The gambling game of Starnet Mecha Manufacturing Competition can be participated in with real name or anonymously. If anonymous, no matter how much you bet, the system will not display it to others.
On the contrary, if you do not choose to be anonymous, then if you are the one with the largest bet amount among all bettors, your ID will be displayed synchronously after the odds, and your bet amount will be followed by the ID.
There was no such data behind the odds of the previous game, only a few asterisks were displayed. That was because all the larger bets were made anonymous at the time, and there were too many IDs betting the same amount of money for relatively smaller amounts, and the system could not display them all. So in order to be fair, they were simply not displayed.
This time, no one will be able to place the same amount of bet as Rongtian, because apart from the four major families and some hidden tycoons from other planets, no one in the entire federation can come up with so much money at one time.
Outside the stadium, the spectators who saw Chu Rong come online and then offline had no time to wail and express their emotions before they were stunned by the sky-high bet from Rong Tian. Then, almost instantly, the amount representing the elimination began to change wildly - so many zeros! If Georgia was eliminated, those who bought the elimination would make a fortune!
There were many people who held this idea. The spectators who were shocked by Georgia's last game and were ready to bet on him to advance began to hesitate. After some hesitation, most people bought the elimination with the mentality of giving it a try, while a small number of people followed Chu Rong and insisted on betting on his advancement.
The odds started to get bloody again. After a while, the amount of money bought for elimination was larger than the amount of money bought for winning. It was obvious that someone had spent a lot of money to buy the Georgia elimination.
In the corner of the square, Chu Yan smacked his lips and followed his second brother to buy the promotion without hesitation.
Yuan Xiu just finished counting the row of zeros after Chu Rong's Star Network ID. After a moment of silence, he also took out his pocket money to buy the promotion. Then he looked at Chu Yan and asked, "Did your second brother take out all the coffin money?"
"Pfft, pfft, you are the one with the most money." Chu Yan waved his hand to get rid of this unlucky remark, glanced at him and said, "You underestimate my second brother's savings. These are just small amounts of money. Remember the last time I told you that the Xiang family spent more than 10 billion or 20 billion to buy mutant red tin ore? Those accounts all went into the pockets of my second brother and Georgia. The president is so poor and stingy that he can't allocate military funds five out of ten times. Our Chu family's army depends entirely on my second brother to support it. Even my eldest brother doesn't have that much money."
Yuan Xiu suddenly remembered that the Yuan family's army was affiliated with the Chu family, so they could receive a large amount of military funds every year. His heart trembled, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "How did your second brother make all this money? I haven't seen your family doing any business... Did you rob?"
"Who are you going to rob?"
Chu Yan couldn't stand his ignorance, rolled his eyes at him, raised his arm to hook his shoulder, opened a special encrypted chat, and explained: "Who said my family doesn't do business? My family just doesn't do business under everyone's nose. On the surface, the Ning family is making medicines and the Xiang family is making mechas. They must have money, but in fact, the main source of money for the four families is not business, but the taxes returned by the territorial planets. Count it yourself, which army has the most and richest planets stationed? And these are just things to protect the capital. My second brother also has a side business, patents for energy, minerals, various civilian and military products, and some small ways on the star network. For example, half of the mecha warriors on the current star network list were secretly trained by my second brother. How many spectators watch their battle? How much commission can they get? How many hidden benefits are included? Xiao Xiuzi, you are still too young."
Yuan Xiu was stunned, especially the part about taxes.
As everyone knows, the Chu family's army is the strongest, with the strictest military discipline, the best welfare, and the most powerful. Most of them are stationed on border planets and several important trade transit planets, and they have a firm grip on federal transportation.
This does not include some other relatively rich Class A or Class B planets. If the taxes that these planets can pay each year are taken into account, it will be no problem to feed the entire federation, let alone the army.
But the question is how do these taxes get into the Chu family’s pockets!
Seeing his doubts, Chu Yan patted his head again and said earnestly, "Don't say I didn't remind you, brother. You are already an adult, and you are the only one in this generation of the Yuan family. You should ask your father to teach you more about the ways of managing a family. As for taxes, each family will take some according to their proportion. Otherwise, is it useless to protect those planets? It just depends on how much they take. Do you think that the Ning family has always been neutral, and they are in the pharmaceutical business, and their family tradition seems to be good, so their family takes the least tax? No, on the contrary, their family takes the most and is the most ruthless. In recent years, the federal medical sector has become more and more troublesome, with the proliferation of pharmaceuticals and the decline of basic medicine. Their family has made a lot of trouble."
It was as if a door to a new world had opened before his eyes. Yuan Xiu looked at him in confusion, unable to speak.
"Learn more. The pie of the federation has long been divided up by the four major families. Military strength and interests are the fundamental reasons why other emerging families cannot compare with the four major families and why the president has to pretend to be honest in front of the four major families. Okay, it's time to watch the game. Teleport." Chu Yan ended the topic and stopped teasing him, letting him digest the news himself.
He didn't say this before because the federal situation was stable and Yuan Xiu could mature slowly, but it's no longer possible now. Each family is secretly living in a mess and something will happen sooner or later. Their generation has grown up and can no longer live in obscurity.
Yuan Xiu followed him into the arena and continued to be confused.
The countdown ended and the odds stopped changing. Georgia looked down at the leg joint parts that appeared on the table and wiped the sweat from her palms - Chu Rong had bet a lot of money, so what if he was eliminated?
His originally calm mood became tense because of Chu Rong's large bet. He turned his head to look at the audience seats which were once again filled with the crowd in an instant, stood up and greeted and thanked them as usual, then sat back and turned on the audience sound shielding, closed his eyes and calmed down for two minutes, then picked up an accessory and took out the hammer.
When the audience saw him tinkering with the accessories again, they miraculously discovered that they were no longer surprised. After a moment of silence, they began to guess what he was going to do this time - was he going to make a major change to the accessories in the joints?
But they guessed wrong. Georgia only changed the accessories of the adapter shaft this time, and left everything else unchanged.
The assembly started quickly. The audience watched his still smooth movements. Those who bet on his advancement felt relieved, while those who bet on his elimination began to get anxious.
Then quickly, the reactions of the two groups of audiences reversed.
The leg joint parts that need to be made for this competition are at the knees, and two need to be made, which are simpler than the ankle ones.
But the parts of the mecha leg joints are quite special, and there are many categories, including elementary, intermediate and advanced, corresponding to elementary mechas and intermediate and advanced mechas. After becoming proficient in assembling elementary joint parts, it takes about half an hour to complete one, intermediate ones take 40 minutes to an hour to complete one, and advanced ones take at least an hour to complete one.
There are a total of six accessories on the operating table, two each for the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Contestants can choose according to their own level.
At the beginning, Georgia took the primary accessories as the audience expected, but after five minutes of installation, his hands moved to the advanced accessories and began the task of "installing familiar accessories in completely unfamiliar places" that he had done last time. After that, he never touched the primary and intermediate accessories again and only focused on the advanced accessories.
The audience was confused. What was going on? Was it planning to make a hybrid part?
But Georgia is a freshman, no matter how talented he is, he is still just a freshman. Even if you have learned advanced parts beyond the syllabus and can make them completely, there is only so much time for the competition. You are using mixed parts that are more difficult and outrageous than the advanced ones. Do you really not want to complete the competition?
The same painful feeling as last time came back, and the audience began to make a commotion and talk.
Ronnie couldn't understand and asked in confusion: "What are you doing, Junior Brother? Challenging a higher level player?"
"No." Master Shang shook his head, frowning slightly, looking thoughtful: "I talked to Lao Ren once, and he said that Qiao had a patent for modifying the joint adapter shaft of the mecha. Qiao first modified the accessories there, but now it seems that he modified more than just that one place."
Ronnie still didn't understand, and said, "Even if you want to modify other parts, you don't have to mix the primary and advanced parts together. Otherwise, the final parts may be different due to the different forces on each part, and the system will judge them as unqualified."
Master Shang recalled the place where Georgia had installed the primary accessories at the beginning. Something flashed through his mind and he said, "Take another look. Don't be impatient."
Time passed little by little, and when the game reached the fiftieth minute, the joint parts in Georgia's hand were roughly formed. They looked obviously fatter than ordinary mecha joints, but in terms of fineness, they were at the level of high-end parts.
After an hour, Georgia finally stopped, put the fatter part aside, and started making the second part.
Still start with entry-level accessories and then switch to advanced accessories midway.
The audience could not figure out his intention, and when they saw that he had actually made a joint part that looked relatively successful, they became more and more puzzled, secretly looking forward to the system's judgment after he had completed both joint parts.
After watching Georgia's installation process again, Master Shang finally confirmed his guess. A smile appeared on his face and he said, "He is feeding the parts."
Ronnie was confused and asked, "Feed the parts? How do you feed them?"
"It's fatter." Master Shang replied with a smile, pointing to the part he had made, and explained: "The mecha he designed must be larger than the maximum size of ordinary mechas. The accessories provided by the competition are all the maximum size within the regulations, so they can only be modified to be smaller. In order to increase the volume of the part, he used relatively large primary accessories to pad it."
Because primary parts have low precision and there are many mid- and high-level parts, the accessories are relatively large and are more suitable for "feeding".
Ronnie frowned and tried to understand this new statement, then he was surprised: "Master, you mean that Junior Brother designed the mecha before the game? He wants to complete the whole game?"
"That should be the case." Master Shang nodded with satisfaction, unable to suppress his smile: "He is more motivated than I thought, and his thinking is very open and flexible, unlike you, who are completely rigid. His attempt this time is very good, breaking the public's inertial understanding of parts of different levels, which is a good phenomenon."
Hearing this, Ronnie looked at Georgia who was concentrating on installing parts on the stage. He was silent for a few seconds, then couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
This cheap junior brother looks well-behaved and has a soft personality, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive and unconventional when it comes to making mechas. Not to mention the shocking practice of "feeding" advanced parts with primary accessories, I just want to say that he can actually "feed" the two together. The ingenuity and hands-on ability involved are simply terrifying.
The young are to be feared.
With ten minutes left in the game, Chu Rong finally came online and teleported in, still using a large one. But the audience no longer had time to pay attention to him, and now all their attention was on the parts in Georgia's hand.
There are only a few high-end accessories left on the table. They need to wait for three more minutes at most to find out whether the two hybrid parts that have become fatter can pass the system review and whether their bet will be profitable or not.
As soon as Chu Rong came in, he saw the fatter joint part on the table. Thinking of the design drawing he had seen before, he leaned back in his chair calmly, and put on an unfathomable look for the first time in a long time.
Click, the sound of the last accessory being installed seemed to ring in her ears. Georgia put the part on the table and waited for the system prompt to sound.
The audience also held their breath and waited.
However, as if teasing them, the system prompt that usually gave results as soon as the parts were completed and placed on the operating table did not appear today.
Georgia was puzzled. She stood up, picked up the two parts, placed them in the center of the operating table, and then looked up in the air where the prompts usually appeared. The audience also looked over.
There was still no prompt, the game time was about to end, and the audience became agitated.
Under normal circumstances, the system will give a clear result regardless of whether the player advances or not. What does it mean that there is no definite answer now? Also, the competition time is almost over, and you still don't give the result. If the time is exceeded, will it be considered as advancement or elimination?
Seeing that there were only 30 seconds left before the end of the race, Georgia finally got anxious. He moved the parts a few more times, but there was still no response. With his ears perked up in anxiety, he started looking for a way to contact the event officials.
Chu Rong also frowned, his eyes were cold, as if he was about to punch two holes in the operating table, and his fingers began to tap his knees impatiently, thinking in his mind how to settle accounts with the competition officials later.
With five seconds left in the countdown to the end of the game, just when Georgia finally found the player's help button and sent a communication to contact the official, the system prompt appeared.
——The competition is completed, part level: advanced, part value: special, contestant [Qiao] advances.
Ding, the countdown ends, the green light appears on the odds data for the side that will advance, and the system starts to settle accounts for all those who have placed bets.
It has been upgraded, and the system has also specially graded the parts.
Georgia breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and started communicating with the audience, bowed to the audience, expressed her gratitude, glanced at Chu Rong on the stage, moved her ears, and chose to log off directly.
The audience was stunned for a few seconds, and after repeatedly confirming that the part was of high grade, it exploded with a bang. Some cheered, some were in disbelief, some were devastated, and some were furious.
Chu Rong narrowed his eyes and listened to the crazy shouting and cursing of the audience who bet on elimination for a while, snorted coldly, and chose to log off.
"It's amazing that a first-year student can make advanced parts. That must be a third-year class." In a corner of the audience, Qiu Guangji sighed, took a look at the gambling money that had arrived in his account, and logged off with satisfaction.
After Georgia was offline, he put this game behind him and started preparing for the next round. However, a big debate started on StarNet about his performance in this round.
Firstly, after Georgia finished making the parts, the system took a long time to give the result. Was it because of Georgia's identity and Chu Rong's large bet that the system was secretly manipulating the situation? Secondly, is Georgia's modification allowed by the system? If she can pass the competition by doing this, then what are the qualification criteria for this competition? Finally, as a federal marshal, is there any problem for Chu Rong to personally participate in the gambling? Is it possible that the couple is manipulating the situation?
The argument became more and more intense, and gradually evolved into a national debate. As time passed, the heat increased instead of decreasing. Even the Empire was alarmed and joined in the discussion. Georgia's name officially spread throughout the blue galaxy.
Over the weekend, Georgia frowned as she flipped through the various discussions and analyses on the event forum, and sullenly retorted: "What shady dealings? I didn't do that..."
"Oh, stop watching. These people are just here to watch the fun." Chu Yan snatched the laptop from his hand and soothed him, "Let them argue. The official will clarify and explain whether there is any manipulation in the game. It has nothing to do with you. As for the issue of second brother's gambling and manipulation, everyone has their own ideas, and you can't control them, so let them be."
Georgia still felt unhappy and said, "A lot of people are saying bad things about Chu Rong..."
"That's the person who lost money venting his dissatisfaction." Chu Yan raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, continuing to comfort him: "And you just wait and see, after your next game is over, the wind direction will change." Then someone will be in trouble.
Georgia was puzzled and didn't understand why the wind direction changed.
Chu Yan kept it a secret, and said with a sly smile: "Anyway, just wait and see."
Before the start of the fourth round of the game, the official finally gave a detailed explanation report on why the result of Georgia's game was determined in that way, which was a controversial issue.
The report was attached with a set of parts inspection data. Although everything on the Star Network was virtual, the same parts made by different people would have different values. Although the part made by Georgia used primary accessories, all the values of the finished product were top grade, perfectly meeting the standards of advanced parts and even exceeding them. Therefore, the system determined that he had passed the promotion and gave a special part grading result.
The reason why the system took a long time to produce results was because it was deeply testing and verifying the values of the two parts.
The official later stated that the mecha manufacturing competition tests the contestants' creativity and hands-on ability, and there will be competitions specifically for parts modification in the future. Therefore, as long as the contestants' changes to the parts during the competition are finally judged to be usable and reasonable, there will be no problem.
Although Georgia's parts manufacturing process broke the rules, the finished product was fine, so the result was naturally fine. Moreover, the entire competition was recorded, so if you think his modification was problematic or unqualified, you can freely verify it by comparing it with the video. The official welcomes technical corrections, but does not accept unfounded attacks.
In a nutshell, there can be no behind-the-scenes manipulation and everything depends on the data. Please look at this competition with a professional and rational attitude.
The arguing people stopped talking. Indeed, those two parts of Georgia were completed under the eyes of the audience. Every game has a video to review. The possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation is too low and too easy to be exposed.
Those who wanted to stir up trouble were unwilling to give up, and instead focused on Chu Rong's gambling. However, the enthusiasm for discussing this matter was obviously not as high as before, and Chu Rong's special status in the minds of the people once again played a role - the marshal could not have a private life and entertainment? Which federal law stipulated that officers off duty were not allowed to participate in small entertainment activities on the Star Network?
You take care of everything in the world and you also take care of other people’s wallets. Are you so bored?
Just when everyone was getting tired of arguing, the fourth round began.
Chu Rong came online early, and once again openly bought Georgia's promotion ticket at a sky-high price, and the amount was even more than last time. The spectators who had previously argued about this matter felt that they had nothing better to do.
——They are arguing here day and night, but the rich and powerful are not affected at all, and they are still "entertaining". Their savings are not even a fraction of others, so what's the point of arguing about these things?
The countdown ended, and parts for the mecha's shoulders and neck appeared on the operating table. Georgia was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she stood up and greeted the audience politely, then sat back at the operating table.
——The content of this round of competition was actually intermediate parts. He originally thought it would be simpler primary parts such as the main structure of the limbs.
But it doesn't matter, the shoulder and neck parts were the focus of his previous practice, he was well prepared, and he was not empty-handed. However, if he made the parts in this area, he might need to ask the official for more materials, the number of accessories this time was limited, and he had nothing to "feed".
The attack modes of manual and mental mechas are bound to be very different, and the key points to pay attention to when making mechas are also different. The driving style of mental mechas will be more elegant, while the driving style of manual mechas is destined to be "barbaric". In order to cope with this "barbaric", the parts of the limbs must be modified to a certain extent, and the most basic thing is to make them thicker and heavier.
Before the cheers from the audience died down, Georgia on the stage pressed the contestant's help button - thanks to the last time the system took a long time to give results, he finally noticed that there was such a thing as a help button in the contestant's room.
The audience, who were ready to see him "playing tricks" again, were stunned and confused - what was he going to do this time? Did he find that he couldn't handle the intermediate parts and wanted to give up?
The official response was quick, and a staff member came in to inquire about the situation. Georgia quickly wrote down the names of several minerals and applied for additional materials.
The staff did not understand why Georgia had to request additional materials during the parts installation competition, but this was the contestant's right, so he did not ask any more questions. He agreed and quickly delivered the materials Georgia requested.
The audience then had the opportunity to see Georgia's ultra-fast and efficient material handling process.
I saw the white light representing spiritual power spread randomly into the material, and the material changed its appearance, indicating that it had been processed.
The audience was silent and began to doubt themselves - was it so easy to penetrate materials with mental power? What were they doing with all the hard training they had done before?
Georgia carefully controlled the magic power, trying to simulate it into mental power before infiltrating it into the material, so as not to be discovered by the audience. In the process, he inevitably processed the materials a little slower, and the competition time was limited, so he did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately took out the hammer after processing the materials.
After quickly making several desired accessories, he took out the last and most puzzling potion material, the grass, and roughly extracted its juice. Then he threw all the official and his own accessories into it to soak.
Audience: “???”
Are they playing house? The material handling and accessory manufacturing techniques are so cool, but why are the subsequent actions so confusing?
Ronnie wanted to ask again, but seeing that his master was staring intently, he swallowed his words and prepared to think for himself.
Hucao is a relatively rare medicinal material and is rarely used because of its special effect - increasing the viscosity of the medicinal solution.
So this is actually something that can make liquid medicine into pills. It has a narrow range of uses and is useless. There are countless materials that are better than it, and it has gradually been eliminated.
Now Georgia is using it here, what is she trying to do? Hu grass should not work on metal.
In fact, Georgia used the grass here just to lubricate the accessories to speed up the installation process. There is no lofty meaning. The juice of the grass will evaporate automatically, eliminating the need for cleaning, and the lubrication is moderate, which is much better than other special lubricants - this is what Georgia thinks.
He took out the soaked accessories, glanced at the game time, lowered his head and started to install them.
The same but different installation routine began - first "feed", then officially start the installation, but he would occasionally pause during the installation process this time, making some small adjustments that were difficult to understand, and the speed was slower than before.
As time passed, the parts in Georgia's hand slowly took shape, and were obviously much larger than the ordinary parts.
With five minutes left in the game, Georgia installed the last accessory. The audience all breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but urge him to put the part on the operating table quickly, worried that the system would need another "deep inspection" this time.
Georgia, who couldn't hear their voices, did not do as they wished. She turned the part over and took a look. Then a layer of white light representing mental power flashed, and the part rolled slightly. It took her another two minutes to put the part on the operating table.
As expected, the system froze again, and it took another two minutes to give the result - the game was completed, part level: advanced, part value: special, contestant [Qiao] advanced.
This modified part was once again judged by the system to be high-end, even though a lot of Georgia's homemade things were mixed in it.
This time the audience quickly came back to their senses. When Georgia stood up to thank the players, they cheered before him and called his name frantically.
Georgia was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and smiled happily. She was still obviously shy, but her attitude had become much more generous. She bowed and said, "Thank you all for your encouragement and watching. See you at the next game."
The cheers from the audience got louder, and Georgia waved at them and walked off the line.
After another round of competition, Georgia did not relax, but kept a close eye on the online public opinion - Chu Yan said that after this round of competition, the online public opinion would change.
One day passed, and the audience was discussing his changes enthusiastically, without mentioning Chu Rong's gambling. Two days passed, and the audience began to speculate about the content of the next game and analyze what other "nonsense" actions he would take.
He began to get anxious, and finally on the third day, the audience who had temporarily lost their memory once again remembered Chu Rong, who had participated in the gambling many times.
[Passerby A: Marshal Chu really loves the native Georgia. He would rather be scolded than publicly support his fiancé and refuse to bet anonymously. If someone did this to me, I would laugh in my dreams.]
In the forum, an emotional post suddenly popped up, and it was very obvious among the analysis posts. The audience was reminded by the post and remembered the topic that they had been arguing about before. At this time, their blood subsided and their rationality returned. They recalled their experiences of watching the past few games, and belatedly followed suit and sighed.
Yes, it is definitely true love. She did not forget to watch the game even when she was on a business trip to the Empire. She disappeared once, but was still watching the game when she came back. She knew that her fiancé was just a freshman, but she bought a large sum of money to advance without hesitation. This style of "spending all her fortune to believe in you" is so domineering that it makes people's hearts flutter.
Moreover, Chu Rong is only 29 years old this year, but he has experienced more than anyone else. He has endured so much pressure and suffered so much in these years. A war destroyed his youth and his family, and he was tortured by illness for ten years after the war. Now he is finally feeling better, he has recovered from his illness, and he has found someone he likes. He can have fun like an ordinary person and support his lover's game. What is there to complain about?
Can't the Marshal live a normal life? He is not a gambler, nor does he gamble during work hours, and he has not violated any federal laws. Why are people so harsh on him?
The people sighed and lamented, and couldn't help but speak up for Chu Rong. They began to criticize those who had scolded Chu Rong before, saying that they lived too comfortable lives and thought they were the bosses who could dictate other people's lives.
After complaining, the people remembered the high-profile press conferences held when Chu Rong disappeared, in which the president hinted that Chu Rong might have met with an accident, and that he was very close to the now deposed Grand Prince of the Empire. They murmured in their hearts and turned their attention here again.
As we all know, Long Baorou "left home sadly" because Chu Rong announced their relationship. The president's overly high-profile performance when Chu Rong disappeared seems a bit wrong no matter how you look at it now. Is there something fishy going on here?
As a result, public opinion turned to the president. Posts analyzing and speculating emerged one after another, and soon all the posts discussing Chu Rong were suppressed. No one was seen questioning Chu Rong's participation in gambling anymore.
Georgia stared at all this, unable to turn
