Chapter 92 This is called making a fortune in silence.
When they arrived at the competition venue, they discovered that the person who reported Su Li for plagiarism was actually Bian Shize.
The mecha submitted by Su Li has been taken out, and next to it are the mechas submitted by the students brought by Bian Shize.
The contrast between the two makes Su Li's mecha look very exquisite, while the other one looks very rough.
Upon further questioning, Bian Shize's reason for reporting was also quite ridiculous. He claimed that they submitted their mecha earlier than Su Li, and that Su Li submitted hers right before the competition registration deadline.
That reason is so ridiculous it makes you laugh in anger.
Teacher Mei looked at Su Li and asked, "What's going on? Why does Bian Shize's student's mecha design look so much like yours?"
She naturally trusted her student, and Teacher Mei had seen all of Su Li's efforts.
If it were someone else, Ms. Mei would definitely say that there might be some misunderstanding and ask the organizers to investigate whether there is any misunderstanding.
But the other party was Bian Shize, who had repeatedly caused trouble for Su Li and had no manners whatsoever as a teacher. Teacher Mei suspected that Bian Shize had stolen Su Li's idea.
Teacher Mei asked Su Li if she had mentioned her mecha design to Bian Shize.
“No, why would I mention these things to him?” Su Li shook her head and said.
"However, I drew several design drafts at the time, but when the final version was finalized, I threw the discarded drafts into the trash can. By the way, Shi Ze also followed me that day."
Teacher Mei's breath hitched. She glared at her student. How could she be so careless as to just throw the manuscript away like that?
Now is not the time to talk about this. Teacher Mei only reminded us, "Next time, burn any drafts you don't need. Don't just throw them away carelessly."
The vice principal also came over, frowning, and said, "How can you just throw away design drafts like that? Didn't your teacher emphasize this in the first lesson?"
The vice principal was stunned after he finished speaking.
During the first class, Su Li hadn't even started school yet.
Moreover, her teacher is Bian Shize, who has been targeting Su Li all along. How could he possibly help Su Li catch up on the lessons she missed?
The vice principal felt as if the boomerang had pierced him solidly. Su Li was currently being falsely accused of plagiarism by Bian Shize.
If only I had removed Bian Shize's teaching qualifications when I expelled him, none of this would have happened.
Without saying much else, Teacher Mei looked directly at Bian Shize and said, "Just because you submitted first means someone else copied you? Shouldn't we see evidence? Who knows if you copied our design and submitted it first?"
Bian Shize looked at Su Li and sneered, "I have evidence."
He submitted Su Li's previous student grades from the Federal Military Academy. "These are Su Li's grades. How could a student who ranked at the bottom possibly design such an excellent mecha design?"
After handing the report card to the organizers, Bian Shize looked at Su Li with a smug expression.
Teacher Mei was dumbfounded, not because of Bian Shize submitting his report card, but because of Bian Shize's unusual behavior.
It was as if he believed that because Su Li's grades were bad when she entered school, she should remain bad. And because Su Li's grades improved, he assumed she must have cheated.
This thought process doesn't seem as simple as having one's brain eaten by a monster; it's more like being possessed by a monster.
Just now I was angry because Su Li was wrongly accused of plagiarism, but now I'm disgusted by being entangled with Bian Shize who has a mental illness.
[There are surveillance cameras on the streets too. You were definitely caught on camera when you threw away your drafts, and Bian Shize might have been caught on camera picking them up too.]
Xiang Bei was also speechless. The little world really was trying to fix the plot all the time. Even a piece of scrap paper that Su Li casually threw out could be seen by Bian Shize.
This corresponds to the scene in the original story where Shi Ze gives Su Li's design drawings to someone else.
Now only Bian Shize is diligently following the plot, while Su Li has long since broken free from the control of the plot.
Su Li looked at Bian Shize, feeling no anger at being falsely accused of plagiarism, only helplessness at being tormented by a lunatic.
Su Li walked over to the organizers, spoke with the staff, and then turned on her personal computer. "I have photos here that show the dates."
The organizers took the photos, and then several staff members went out.
Bian Shize was still clamoring that he would nail Su Li to the pillar of shame for plagiarism.
Su Li walked straight over and slapped him twice. "Can you be quiet now?"
Perhaps because he had been hit by Su Li so many times, Bian Shize immediately became as quiet as a chicken after being slapped twice.
However, his eyes were still fixed on Su Li, expressing his dissatisfaction.
The staff returned quickly, bringing a video taken by the Sky Eye.
The text clearly shows that after Su Li left the secondhand store, she threw a few pieces of paper into the trash can, and then Bian Shize appeared.
Fast forward to see Bian Shize return and snatch the papers from the cleaning robot.
The cleaning robot also has a recording function. They retrieved the cleaning records for the day, and the robot's records showed the contents of the discarded drafts and Bian Shize's appearance more clearly.
“Su Li has also provided some design draft dates. Bian Shize, can you provide manuscript records from earlier times?”
Bian Shize was visibly panicked, and the student next to him was also very pale. He looked at him for help and whispered, "Teacher, didn't you say that this was your own design? Why is it like this? I spent 100,000 star coins to buy it from you."
"Shut up!" Bian Shize snapped, then looked at the organizers. "It was Su Li who plagiarized our mecha design. Don't even think about protecting Su Li. As for the design process, can't I just delete it?"
"Was it deleted from a computer? Mr. Bian Shize, which computer? We have the relevant technicians who can recover it."
Shi Ze panicked even more. "No need, just disqualify Su Li from the competition as a plagiarist."
The organizers exchanged glances, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
They realized something was wrong when Bian Shize reported it.
The two mechs do have some similarities, but Su Li's mech is clearly better made, while the mech submitted by Bian Shize's student is rather rough.
Bian Shize, however, wouldn't let it go, saying that they submitted it first and that Su Li must have plagiarized it, and that he was going to make a scene, which is why he had someone call Su Li over.
Having seen the footage captured by the FAST telescope, I know what happened.
Bian Shize disagreed, and he shamelessly claimed that the Heavenly Eye was faked by Su Li, and that the organizers were in cahoots with Su Li.
"Did his brain go haywire after he was expelled?" Teacher Mei said angrily.
Su Li stopped Teacher Mei, who was about to beat someone up, and shook her head at her, "It's okay, teacher, I can handle it myself."
She walked over, and Bian Shize looked at her warily, instinctively taking two steps back. "What do you want?"
Su Li looked at him and said, "Bian Shize, you said I plagiarized. Then I would like to ask you, why is my name on your student's mecha?"
"What do you mean, 'your name'? Su Li, don't try anything funny, you're just a shameless plagiarist."
Su Li chuckled and walked over to activate her mecha.
Although it is not equipped with weapons and cannot engage in combat, it has some basic necessities.
Just as Su Li pressed the button, several red dots suddenly lit up in front of the mecha. Then, the red dots were connected together to form the Chinese character "梨" (pí).
Su Li walked over and pressed the same button on Shi Ze's mecha, but perhaps she didn't do it correctly. The character "梨" (pí) didn't light up completely; the upper part of the character "利" (lì) was lit, but the vertical strokes weren't lit at all.
The character for "wood" below was somewhat dim, with one stroke not lit up.
But anyone can see that it is also the character for "pear".
Su Li walked over and looked at the name on the student's competition list. "Tsk, you say I plagiarized, then please tell me why my name, Su Li, appears on your so-called original mecha? I don't see the character 'Li' in this student's name either. Didn't you guys check your work before you finished?"
Bian Shize stared intently at the words forming on the mecha. When he first received the design draft, he thought the design here was unique, but he didn't understand why Su Li did it this way, so he didn't change it.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the character for "pear".
Bian Shize's face turned pale, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.
No, he was indeed slapped by Su Li.
"Bian Shize, you are shameless, you even copied my name."
Bian Shize was still trying to defend himself, but the students next to him were so badly hurt by this series of events that they were on the verge of a mental breakdown.
He directly admitted that he had paid Bian Shize to buy the mecha design drafts; he had spent 100,000 star coins.
In the end, he lost such a huge amount of his life.
The student broke down, grabbing Bian Shize's collar and demanding to know why he had lied to him.
They dared to charge him 100,000 star coins even though it was a manuscript they found.
The student who participated was ultimately disqualified and will be barred from participating in any competition in the future. This matter will also be reported to the Interstellar Education Bureau.
As for Bian Shize, for doing such a thing, he can no longer continue to be a teacher. His teaching qualification has been revoked, and the relevant information has been sent to the school where he now works.
The vice principal also breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they had already expelled him. Otherwise, it would have been incredibly embarrassing for him to stay at the school.
When Su Li left, she beat up Bian Shize again, and the vice principal and Teacher Mei turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
This outstanding mecha builder was once hailed as the hope of interstellar mecha, but now it seems that all of that was undeserved.
Bian Shize was also taken away by the interstellar police.
Su Li and Teacher Mei returned to school to continue waiting for the results of the rookie competition.
Three days later, the winners of the Mecha Manufacturing Rookie Competition were announced, and Teacher Mei was quite nervous while waiting.
When I saw the list uploaded by the computer, I felt it was perfectly reasonable.
The first place went to Su Li, whose final test result for the mecha metal was 99.96%.
It is of superior quality.
Her mecha design concept scores 100 points.
With both scores combined, he is the undisputed champion of this rookie competition.
This result left many people no time to pay attention to who came in second and third place; instead, they all inquired about who Su Li was.
Several military factories that produce mecha materials immediately used their connections to go directly to the Federal Military Academy to find Su Li, wanting to buy the metal and put it into production.
With near-perfect test results, whoever manages to snag this top-grade metal will see their military factory take off.
Rumor has it that this metal is very simple to make.
This result surprised many people; they had never heard of the name Su Li before.
She was like a dark horse that appeared out of nowhere, dazzling everyone's eyes.
The story about Su Li being accused of plagiarism during a competition has somehow spread.
The organizers issued a statement immediately, explaining the cause and effect of the incident.
Following Su Li's name on the competition list was the name of the Federal Military Academy. Now everyone knew that it was the Federal Military Academy's mecha academy that had become famous.
Some people have already bid on Su Li's entry. A few people know they can't win, so while everyone is busy bidding on Su Li's parts, they bid on the parts for the second and third place winners.
The parts for these two items are also over 95% high quality, making them top-grade parts.
In the end, Su Li's parts were auctioned off, and the buyer's identity was not revealed, but Su Li received 18 million star coins from the organizer.
This time, because she was participating in the rookie competition, the organizers, with Su Li's consent, directly auctioned off the mecha she designed.
The auction price was 20 million, and the organizer took a 2 million commission.
Originally, the profits were supposed to be split 50/50, but this time Su Li's work was so dazzling that she was falsely accused of plagiarism, so the organizers only took a small cut.
If all the prizes are given to Su Li, it will be difficult to explain to the other two contestants.
Looking at the account on the personal terminal, Su Li counted it several times, her smile wide and her eyes narrowed.
Recently, several military factories have been frequently contacting her, hoping to obtain the production rights for mecha metal.
In the end, Su Li signed an agreement with Teacher Mei's military factory. Instead of a direct buyout, they offered profit sharing and promised that all the mecha materials Su Li needed in the future would be provided free of charge by their military factory.
And just like that, Su Li's account received another sum of money.
Su Li thought that with so many star coins, her grandmother wouldn't need to give her any more star coins to spend in the future. She could also buy a lot of good materials to assemble and make more good parts.
However, before that, Su Li bought herself a house.
It wasn't a very big house, just two bedrooms and a living room, which was enough for her to live in.
She lives at school now, but after she graduates, she'll need a place to live. The room isn't furnished much; besides simple furniture, Su Li has filled the empty spaces with various mecha materials.
The house is almost overflowing with materials.
With the star coins, Su Li bought a lot of materials to assemble the product.
The school provides students with a fixed amount of materials, which are supplied by the mecha factory. When students make good parts, they send them to the mecha factory for use. Students also receive a share of the profits from selling the parts.
Su Li finally understood the saying that mecha manufacturers make money. With an excited heart and trembling hands, she counted the balance on the screen again and again, worried that she was seeing things.
If Su Li makes these parts at the school, no other military factories will compete with them. Usually, the military factory that sponsors the school will directly win the contract, negotiate a profit-sharing agreement, and then start production.
They will definitely pay, but the price competition might not be as fierce.
Su Li is now full of confidence and plans to make a lot of good parts and earn a lot of star coins.
Having Star Coins to spend is wonderful. Now she can ride the hover train however she wants and eat whatever she wants, instantly becoming an interstellar tycoon.
She was low-key, and when she saw her name on the rich list, she even spent some money to have it removed.
Grandma was right, this is called making a fortune quietly.
What if someone sees her alone and tries to rob her?
The news of Su Li winning the rookie competition was repeatedly displayed on the large screen at the entrance of the Federal Military Academy. It's said that during meetings, the vice-principal couldn't stop talking about the new type of metal Su Li had created.
Su Li's parts testing data surpassed previous years' data, achieving near-perfect results, prompting the school to hold an awards ceremony for her.
In addition to awarding certificates, Star Coins are also a must-have reward.
The entire planet was transmitting Su Li's data, and it was precisely at times like these that Su Li dared not be overconfident. The Interstellar News Agency even conducted an exclusive interview with Su Li, in which she remained very humble in front of the camera.
I'm sharing some of her thoughts and efforts with everyone because I don't want people to idolize her. If she doesn't achieve such success later, she'll definitely be scorned.
Seeing Su Li make fun of herself, many people laughed.
At the same time, the story of Su Li's father's mistake that led to the death of a mecha soldier was also brought up.
Along with the honor came the insults from the families of the fallen mech pilots.
They said that if Su Li had behaved herself, it would have been fine, but as the daughter of a murderer, her daring to be so high-profile was really upsetting to them.
Seeing Su Li's current success reminded them of their innocent and tragically deceased relatives.
The voices against Su Li are growing louder, and some people are even demanding that Su Li pay for her father's debts, making her compensate for the lives of the mecha soldiers who died innocently because of her father.
“Vice Principal, there must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes. I request a thorough investigation.” Teacher Mei went to the vice principal’s office.
After she finished speaking, she noticed that there was another person in the vice principal's office.
Teacher Mei paused for a moment, "Principal?"
The principal of the Federal Military Academy rarely appears at the school on weekdays. Besides being the principal, he is also a high-ranking leader in the interstellar community.
I came here this time because of Su Li's matter.
"Principal, about Su Li..."
“I already know. I looked for information about this matter, but I didn’t find anything.”
As things stand, Su Li's father did indeed, as everyone has seen, cause the deaths of those mech soldiers due to his own command errors.
"What should we do then?" Teacher Mei asked.
"How about we handle this quietly? Take down all the news about Su Li and don't let her family see it. Let Su Li keep a low profile," the vice principal said.
The principal shook his head. "No need, it has nothing to do with Su Li."
"But her father..."
The principal interrupted Teacher Mei and handed her a video, saying, "Take a look at this video first."
The vice principal and Teacher Mei went over and watched the video playing on the principal's personal computer.
"So, Su Li's father is innocent?" Teacher Mei said in shock.
Then a huge joy welled up in her heart. If that were the case, not only could Su Li's father be exonerated, but Su Li would also no longer have to avoid the families of the victimized mecha soldiers.
"Principal, where did this video come from?" the vice principal asked, puzzled.
"The surviving mech soldier from back then kept this video. He said that Commander Su saved him, otherwise he would have died too. After he came back, he wanted to hand it over, but at the time everyone believed that Commander Su's mistake caused the heavy casualties. He was cautious and made a copy of the video and submitted it anonymously. Who knew that after submitting it, there was no response. Some people were even investigating who submitted the video."
After hearing what the principal said, the vice principal and Teacher Mei were both stunned.
Coincidentally, he knew the person who submitted the anonymous video; they were practically his friend. The person, however, didn't know he was the principal of the Federal Military Academy. After watching the video of Su Li being verbally abused, and having had a few more drinks, Su Li said something that Su He overheard.
He asked a few more questions, and even though the other person was drunk, they immediately became wary.
At his suggestion, I sent the video to him.
After watching the video, the principal revealed his identity to his friend, and only then did he learn the truth about what happened back then.
The other party handed the video to him because of Su Li's appearance.
Su Li is Commander Su's daughter. Commander Su is innocent and should not be blamed. His daughter has such talent and should not be subjected to such abuse.
He hoped the principal could clear Commander Su's name.
“I plan to release the video directly,” the principal said.
It's true that the other side has power, but interstellar space also has its own rules, and it's not something that can be controlled by the other side alone.
"Teacher Mei, to prevent the other party from taking advantage of Su Li, you should keep an eye on her."
"Don't worry, Principal, I will." Teacher Mei nodded.
Anyone who dares to harm her students is making an enemy of the Mei family.
“Principal, I can help too.” Dian Yu, who had been listening outside for a while, came over at this moment.
After all, Su Li was the girl his brother liked. If his brother were still alive, he would definitely have revealed the truth.
When Su Li was taken home by Teacher Mei, she was still a little confused, but she didn't think much of it. After staying at Teacher Mei's house for two days, she saw the overwhelming reports on the Star Network.
It's about her father and brother.
