Chapter 272 Checking the Surveillance Footage: The Feeling of Being Completely Crushed by the Boss [3 Updates]
When the professor assigned the task, he said that building this physical mechanical device was a required group assignment.
Each group consists of three people who work together to complete the task, and the final score is based on the experimental test results.
This score will directly affect the total score for this training session.
Training camps are held in various countries, and the professors come from ten universities around the world.
Therefore, after this training session ends, the scores of each group will also be submitted to the organizing committee.
The organizing committee will use these scores to make a preliminary assessment of the contestants, which may even be linked to the international finals.
This physical mechanical device is not difficult to make, but it is very troublesome to manufacture.
Especially the core of the device.
It will take three days for three people to complete.
Xiu Yan could see clearly that Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue had been doing all the work for Ying Zijin's group, while Ying Zijin hadn't done anything.
How can someone like that still be called the God of War?
A group of people online also followed suit and fawned over him, but only because of his good looks.
However, Xiu Yan has to admit that Ying Zijin is indeed very beautiful.
She has been in the entertainment industry for a year and has met many female celebrities who are considered to have stunning looks.
Even the most recognized top female celebrity in the entertainment industry cannot surpass Ying Zijing in terms of looks.
Fortunately, Ying Zijin doesn't enter the entertainment industry.
Xiu Yan sighed softly.
What a pity.
This person is a good friend of Xiu Yu.
This proves that they can only be on the opposite side.
Regardless of whether Ying Zijing is truly talented or not, she cannot allow Xiu Yu to gain more assistance.
"Was it you?" Teng Yunmeng couldn't stand Xiu Yan's sarcastic tone. She slammed her hand on the table and sneered, "You're also on the third floor. If you want to get into my room, there's a way."
She went out to buy components in the morning, and the device was still working fine.
After returning, the core was burned. What a coincidence!
Xiu Yan stopped laughing, her expression turning cold: "Teng Yunmeng, spreading rumors is illegal. Who knows if you've touched anything wrong?"
“We also made this device and know how easily the core can be damaged. If you don’t store it properly, don’t blame others.”
Feng Yue quickly pressed Teng Yunmeng down and shook his head at her.
The Xiu family is powerful, and Xiu Yan is the eldest daughter of the family; it's best not to provoke them if possible.
Xiu Yan paused, then smiled again: "Also, Teng Yunmeng, according to your logic, Ying Zijin is also on the third floor. Wouldn't it be easier for her to get into your room than for me?"
Teng Yunmeng was amused by her shamelessness: "You better not let me find any evidence."
Xiu Yan shrugged indifferently and smiled, "Okay, then you go find it."
Ying Zijing ignored her and continued to look at the cube-shaped device, her expression shifting slightly.
The other two groups inquired about it with concern and then sat down to wait.
A little while later, several professors arrived.
Several staff members followed behind, carrying a machine that was as tall as a person.
"Today is for testing the equipment." Zuo Li clapped his hands. "I'll score you all in order, is that alright?"
"Yes." Before Feng Yue and Teng Yunmeng could speak, the girl next to Xiu Yan immediately raised her hand. "Professor Zuo, Teng Yunmeng's group's equipment is broken, so they can't participate in today's test."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Li was taken aback: "Oh no? What happened?"
"I don't know who tampered with it; the core is burned." Feng Yue said helplessly, "Professor Zuo, could you give us a little more time?"
"Why should I?" The girl crossed her arms. "The fact that the core burned out proves that you didn't connect the wiring properly. It's your duty to build the device within the specified time."
Xiu Yan smiled but didn't say anything.
Zuo Li ignored her and frowned as he pondered for a moment: "Then I'll give you another half a day."
He paused, then said weakly, "Ying, you can start now."
Ying Zijing paused in her fiddling with the cuboid mechanical device. She looked up, slowly raising an eyebrow: "Professor Zuo, are you serious?"
To prevent her from getting involved, Zuo Li kept an eye on her for a while.
"Seriously, seriously." Zuo Li rubbed her forehead. "Just take it easy, just take it easy."
He simply couldn't bear to watch her bully other classmates.
But since this has happened, there's nothing we can do.
We can't let the overall group score drop, since the test score is going to be given to the organizing committee.
If the score is left blank, it will have a negative impact on both Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue.
Ying Zijin: "I'll try my best."
"..."
"That's settled then." Zuo Li clapped her hands again. "Everyone, go back first. We've prepared new questions. We'll come back for the test at 5 p.m.
Ying Zijing stood up and nodded to Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue: "You two go do your homework. This is for me. It will be fine this afternoon, don't worry."
After saying that, she took the cuboid mechanical device and walked out.
"Yan Yan, what did Professor Zuo mean by those words?" the girl asked in surprise. "Why did he tell Ying Zijin to take it easy?"
Xiu Yan didn't care at all: "Maybe they think Ying is very powerful and that his move will scare us."
Upon hearing this, the girl laughed immediately: "How could she be scared? Do you think she can fix the device in just half a day? The core of this device is broken, so it has to be made from scratch."
Zuo Li gave them half a day, but it was practically the same as not giving them any time at all.
Half a day isn't even enough time to connect the lines.
What Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue couldn't do together, what could Ying Zijin do alone?
"Who cares what they're doing?" Xiu Yan glanced at them lightly. "Let's go back and do our homework."
Teng Yunmeng didn't leave; she was replying to Ying Zijin's WeChat message.
Feng Yue leaned closer: "What did Ying Shen send you?"
Teng Yunmeng scratched her head: "You asked me where I bought the components."
Because students were required to design the device independently, the training camp did not even provide any components.
After all, different design drawings require different components.
Feng Yue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
**
Half a day passed quickly.
At 4:50 p.m., the students gathered again in the large classroom.
Ying Zijin has not returned yet.
Zuo Li glanced at her watch: "You guys go first, Teng Yunmeng group will be last."
Although Xiu Yan wasn't the best performer in the group, she was the group leader.
She took the completed mechanical device and placed it into the machine.
However, a full minute passed, and the machine did not move, nor did it make a sound.
This proves that the mechanical device they made was substandard.
Xiu Yan's smile froze for a moment, and she clenched her fingers.
"At least it didn't explode." Zuo Li wrote down a score in her notebook, her voice calm. "Alright, next one."
Xiu Yan took out the device, lowered her head, and quickly stood to the side, a blush rising on her cheeks.
Whether in the entertainment industry or in her family, she was used to being praised and had never been ridiculed like this before.
If it weren't for increasing popularity and recruiting people for the Xiu family, she wouldn't have come to participate in any training.
The next two sets were placed into the mechanical device, which made the machine start to rotate, but failed to get the machine running completely.
"Not bad, not bad." Zuo Li was pleasantly surprised. "Really good, you've achieved excellence, that's great."
He also received messages from other training camps.
Students from other countries were not all able to get the machines moving.
As for those that are fully operational, there are only one or two sets.
Ying Zijin arrived at exactly 5:05.
She turned the device in her hand, walked forward, and put it into the machine.
Teng Yunmeng asked nervously, "Feng Yue, we won't explode, will we?"
"How could that be?" Feng Yue said confidently. "With Ying Shen around, what's there to be afraid of?"
"The main problem is that the time is too short," Teng Yunmeng worried. "I don't know if Zijing can complete all the lines."
Xiu Yan crossed her arms and looked over with a cold gaze.
She was quite curious to see what tricks Ying Zijing could pull off in an afternoon.
They had failed after four days of trying, and she really didn't believe Ying Zijin could finish it.
Not only were people using the machine to reshape faces, but other students were also focused on it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ying Zijing pressed the switch.
"Click-clack—"
As soon as it was turned on, a dull sound came from the machine.
Immediately, in less than three seconds, every light on the machine lit up in turn.
Other parts also started operating, linking the entire machine together.
This is fully powered!
Teng Yunmeng covered her mouth and let out a soft "Ah!"
Xiu Yan's eyes suddenly changed, and his expression finally became serious.
Zuo Li's lips twitched: "..."
He knew it.
This device is not particularly difficult to use; given enough time, each group can get the machine running at full capacity.
The problem is that there isn't enough time.
As long as the machine can move, that's enough.
He told her to take it easy, but she still didn't.
"There's nothing more to say, everyone has seen it." Zuo Li sighed. "Full marks."
No one objected.
Xiu Yan's fingers tightened even more.
"Ying, you're always very punctual," Zuo Li casually asked, "Why are you late this time?"
Ying Zijing's timing is truly accurate to the second.
He really didn't know how she did it.
It's even more clock-like than a clock.
Ying Zijing turned off the machine, took out the device, and said calmly, "I went to East Street to check the surveillance footage. It took a few minutes."
"Professor Zuo, take a look."
She raised her hand and placed a USB drive on the table.
East Street is where Tengyunmeng buys components.
See you tomorrow~
My stomach hasn't been feeling well lately; I vomit after eating, and there's nothing I can do about it.
The weather is changing quickly, everyone please remember to keep warm!
