Chapter 41
Tang Bai looked at the list of preliminary results, his eyes fixed on the ID of the second place "Cheng Yangbin" for a long time.
The ID names of the mecha manufacturing competition contestants are filled in by the contestants themselves. Some people will fill in their real names, while others will fill in code names or online names.
If the name "Cheng Yangbin" is his real name, then it is such a coincidence that he met the noble alpha who raped Lu An in the book.
What's more coincidental is that his score is one point higher than Cheng Yangbin's. The two people's IDs are close to each other, one above and one below, which makes Tang Bai feel physically disgusted.
Cheng Yangbin does not appear in a long chapter in the book. In the military academy chapter, he is the head of the mechanical department. After graduation, he enters the parliament as a representative of outstanding young mecha manufacturers. In the parliament, he and Bai Zhi belong to two completely opposite factions.
Bai Zhi advocates improving the rights of omegas, while Cheng Yangbin exploits the interests of omegas and civilians.
The book also mentions that the Qin family is actually a puppet of the Cheng family. On the surface, the Qin family controls the energy crystals and divides up the human resources of the slums. In reality, most of the Qin family's profits are given to the Cheng family. The Cheng family's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and finally they even sell the energy crystals to the empire...
When Cheng Yangbin was killed by Xie Ruheng, Gu Tunan and Bai Zhi investigated many of Cheng Yangbin's shameful crimes in order to help Xie Ruheng get rid of the crime. One of them was bribing the judges when participating in the mecha manufacturing competition. In addition, the mecha design drawings were not made by Cheng Yangbin himself, but were bought by the Cheng family from a mecha designer in the Empire.
The book did not clearly mention which mecha manufacturing competition Cheng Yangbin participated in. Tang Bai had been following this competition before and knew it was not a previous one. He thought it might be the competition next year or the year after. He did not expect that Cheng Yangbin participated in this year's one.
fine.
Tang Bai showed a cute smile with a blank expression on his face. He added to the official staff: "I hope that during the evaluation, my mecha can fight against the mecha of the second contestant."
Official staff: “!!!”
Official staff: "Are you sure you want to compete against Cheng Yangbin? Although his score is only one point lower than yours, Cheng Yangbin's mecha comprehensive strength is very strong. If you lose to Cheng Yangbin in the evaluation, the official will most likely adjust your ranking."
In this mecha manufacturing competition, Cheng Yangbin was very popular and was speculated by many to be the champion. He was hailed by netizens as a mecha manufacturing genius that only appears once in a century.
Why do we say a hundred years? Because the last mecha manufacturing genius was Tang Bai’s grandfather.
This time, Tang Bai narrowly defeated Cheng Yangbin by one point. Not only did netizens say that there was a shady deal, but even the staff secretly discussed this ranking. Many people believed that if it weren't for the malicious scoring by Bai Zhi, an omega who didn't understand mechas and just made random combinations, Cheng Yangbin would definitely be first.
There are also many people who think that Bai Zhi is just a traitor who deliberately suppresses potential newcomers. The topic #omega get out of the mecha manufacturing circle# has climbed to the bottom of the interstellar entertainment gossip list.
Tang Bai's novel was also negatively criticized by a group of tourists, and the reason was "Omega should get out of the mecha manufacturing circle". His article was forced to be locked due to too many reports, which made Tang Bai suspect that someone was maliciously guiding public opinion to attack him and Bai Zhi, mainly targeting Bai Zhi, and his vests should have been swept along.
Tang Bai: "I'm sure. Since many people think that the judges gave Cheng Yangbin a low score, why not also evaluate Cheng Yangbin's mecha in this evaluation, so that everyone can see who is the real number one. [Smile.jpg]"
The staff sent Tang Bai a sweaty emoji and said embarrassedly: "We need to consult player Cheng Yangbin for his opinion."
Tang Bai: "Okay. [smile.jpg]"
The yellow bean smile perfectly reflected Tang Bai's mood at the moment. He waited for a while, but did not receive a reply from the staff. Instead, he received a private message from Bai Zhi, the judge:
"Contestant Jun Tongchen, I heard that you requested to conduct an open beta test with Cheng Yangbin's mecha, and Cheng Yangbin said he could accept it, but he would exclude me from the evaluation and let the other nine judges score. Now that I can't help you score, are you sure you want to continue the open beta test with contestant Cheng Yangbin?"
After Bai Zhi sent this message, he quietly waited for the player's reply. At first, he admired this player "Jun Tongchen" and his design concept.
Because "Jun Tongchen" designed a mecha that can be operated by an omega, which has never happened before, he thinks it is a great innovation and a step forward in the history of mechas, so Bai Zhi gave it a ten points.
But "Jun Tongchen"'s behavior this time was a bit too reckless. He wanted to cooperate with the official to clarify that there was nothing wrong with him, but at the same time he wanted to challenge Cheng Yangbin. This behavior was really too impulsive.
If Cheng Yangbin wins the first place in this preliminary round, it will have a certain impact on his subsequent plans.
If "Jun Tongchen" cannot win the championship, then he will have to choose the backup plan, but for now Bai Zhi decided to wait and see how Tang Bai performs first.
Tang Bai, who knew nothing about the boss's complicated psychological activities, said: "Thank you for caring about me so much!"
"Please rest assured! This is not an impulsive decision. I am sure I will continue to challenge Cheng Yangbin!"
Seeing this reply that inexplicably exuded a sense of naivety, Bai Zhi suddenly thought of the stupid and rich little omega from the Tang family.
It must be his illusion.
Bai Zhi: "Okay."
Bai Zhi: "[Success immediately.jpg]"
A horse was galloping on the blue sky and green grass, and four colorful flashing words blinded Tang Bai's big eyes.
Tang Bai: "[Success immediately.jpg]"
Once you accept the setting of this retro and trendy emoticon package, your mood will immediately become cheerful!
Two horses were running freely on the green prairie, creating an atmosphere of great harmony.
The conversation that followed was similar to what Bai Zhi had said. Tang Bai accepted the conditions for evaluation by the other nine judges and made an appointment with the staff for the evaluation the day after tomorrow.
He needs to complete the mecha for the competition before the day after tomorrow.
Other contestants may have prepared for this competition for several years and have already made their mechas before registering. Tang Bai registered on the spur of the moment. Although he had already prepared the basic parts, operating system and the general framework, the assembly would take at least twenty hours, so Tang Bai planned to ask his grandfather for help.
"Grandpa, didn't I sign up for the mecha manufacturing competition? I encountered a difficult problem during the competition..." Tang Bai did not mention Cheng Yangbin. He simply said that he needed his grandfather's help to catch up with the progress, because he had no evidence to prove that Cheng Yangbin bribed the judges or spent money to buy the design drawings.
Grandpa Tang stroked his beard and watched Tang Bai muttering in front of him. When Tang Bai mentioned the name Cheng Yangbin, the disgust that flashed across his eyes was seen by Grandpa Tang.
When Tang Bai finished speaking and looked over eagerly, Grandpa Tang sighed and said slowly: "I have been paying attention to this mecha manufacturing competition. Several of the judges are my disciples. Although I am old and don't care much about the affairs between the younger generation, this competition was founded by me, and I have the responsibility to ensure fairness and impartiality."
"Tangtang, Grandpa knows that you participated in the competition anonymously because you didn't want to reveal your identity. You hoped to win based on your strength. If you were wronged, you also wanted to solve the problem in your own way. Grandpa is very pleased."
Grandpa Tang said softly: "But Tangtang, if you encounter something you can't solve, don't be stubborn. Come back and tell grandpa, and grandpa will help you." Because if you were a pheasant, I would be your protector.
And when you are a chick, I want to be your home.
"Mr. Cheng, are you sure you can beat that 'Jun Tongchen' in the next evaluation?" Qin Jun diligently poured a glass of wine for the handsome alpha in front of him.
This alpha has short blond hair, deep blue eyes, and a custom-made outfit that highlights his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making this mecha manufacturing genius who has attracted countless fans look even more majestic.
Let me ask you, who can refuse a mecha manufacturing genius who is of noble birth, amazing talent, extraordinary appearance and politeness?
If Qin Jun had not played omega with this Master Cheng and developed a deep friendship with him, he would not have dared to believe that this Master Cheng was essentially no different from him.
Apart from his better family background and looks, all the character and talents praised by fans were painstakingly packaged by the Cheng family in order to send this Mr. Cheng to parliament in the future.
Even this mecha manufacturing competition was just a gold-plating journey for Cheng Yangbin. The Cheng family bribed two judges, and the bribes were given to the judges with the top-grade energy crystals handed over by their Qin family.
Mecha manufacturers have a huge demand for high-level energy crystals when researching advanced mechas. The Cheng family was generous and, tempted by box after box of energy crystals, the two mecha manufacturers with no background in the judges gave in and agreed to give a maximum of nine points.
In addition, the mecha design drawings purchased by the Cheng family were of very high quality, so first place in the preliminary round should have been a sure thing, but a Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway through.
Cheng Yangbin shook his wine glass and said calmly, "There's no way I'll lose."
"A first-class mecha maker and I analyzed the pros and cons of Jun Tongchen's mecha. The greatest advantage of that mecha," a trace of contempt flashed across his azure eyes, "is that it lowers the threshold for mecha control, allowing those useless omegas to touch mechas."
"Bai Zhi is not participating in the scoring, so what does that 'Jun Tongchen' have to compete with me? Is he trying to be cute?" Cheng Yangbin raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he leaned lazily on the sofa and said to Qin Jun, "The navy made a good purchase this time."
Qin Jun paid for all the negative comments and negative searches on the Internet. Qin Jun worked hard for a long time, but all he got in return was a casual compliment from Cheng Yangbin. This made Qin Jun, who was also praised by others, hold his breath and said, "As long as Master Cheng is satisfied, I'll toast to Master Cheng for winning the first place in the preliminary round!"
"Brother Xie, I think you know about Jun Tongchen's incident. I would like to ask for your help."
Xie Ruheng, who was using a secondary account in the reader group to angrily criticize the website for locking the content, said: "......?!" He quickly clicked on his avatar to check whether he had used the wrong account.
"Brother Xie, can you help me test the mecha?" Tang Bai said, panting, "I promised the official of the mecha manufacturing competition to hold a public evaluation. I want you, Brother Xie, to be the evaluator because the free combat mode in my mecha system is very special. I think only you, Brother Xie, can perfectly bring out its advantages."
Xie Ruheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course."
Tang Bai said happily: "Great! I love you so much! The mecha is at my house. My grandfather and I are busy testing the mecha now and don't have time to come to pick you up. This is my address. Brother Xie, is it convenient for you to come over now?"
Xie Ruheng: “!!!”
Xie Ruheng's pupils trembled: "Isn't this too sudden? I'm not ready yet."
Tang Bai: “?”
Tang Bai: "Do I need to warm up before operating a mecha? It's okay, I'm not in a hurry now. Brother Xie, you can come later. It's just right for you to come to my house for dinner. By the way, Brother Xie, what do you like to eat? I'll tell my mom and ask her to cook it for you. My mom's cooking is better than mine!"
Xie Ruheng's heart was filled with the panic of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. He said in a panic, "I will eat anything. Don't worry, aunt."
Tang Bai: "Okay, it's settled. See you at dinner time. I'm going to test the mecha now, so I won't talk any more~"
Xie Ruheng: “!!!!!!”
Wait! It’s my first visit and we haven’t even discussed what to bring, what to wear, and what to say, why are you leaving!!!
Feeling like the world was about to collapse, Xie Ruheng glanced at the time and was horrified to find that it was already four o'clock!!!
He stood up quickly, opened the closet and took a look, only to find that it was full of useless things!
Perhaps it was a habit from the slums, but Xie Ruheng was not used to buying clothes that were too good, because expensive clothes could easily attract people's attention and bring unnecessary trouble.
He usually wears a military school uniform at school, and no one cares if he wears ripped jeans in the slums. The white shirt and black pants he wore when he went out with Tang Bai last time were one of the few outfits he could show off, but this outfit was a bit too casual.
Should I dress formally when visiting someone's home for the first time in high society?
No, he had to go to the store quickly to buy a suit and some gifts, at least three, one for each of Tang Bai's three elders.
Xie Ruheng went downstairs in a hurry and even forgot to put on gloves.
"Xiao Xie, Brother!" "Xiao Xie, Brother, where are you going~" "Xiao Xie, Brother, wait a minute!"
Xie Ruheng stopped and saw Lu Xiaoshan coming over with two red apples in his hands. "Little Brother Xie, these are apples that we grew ourselves. Dad picked out the two best-looking ones and wanted to give them to you and Brother Tangtang. Thank you for helping Dad find a doctor."
"And here are my flowers. These are for Brother Tangtang. Thank you for the cookies he gave me last time." Jiang Quan said, holding a bunch of wild flowers that he had picked from somewhere.
"I also have something for Brother Tangtang!" A child carefully took out an egg from his pocket: "This is for Brother Tangtang to eat."
"I have one too!" "I have one too." "This is for my brother Tangtang."
......
A group of children surrounded Xie Ruheng. Xie Ruheng was stunned for a moment. He even saw that one of the children's gift was a beautiful stone.
"You have so many things, how can little brother Xie carry them all?" Mr. Ling came up with the bag, "Mr. Xie, are you going out now?"
"Yes, I want to go to Tang Bai's house." Xie Ruheng said desperately, "But I don't know what to wear or what gift to bring."
It was the first time that Mr. Ling saw this usually calm and composed alpha showing the restlessness that was consistent with his age. He smiled and said, "It's too late to buy clothes now. I have a brand new suit at home that should be suitable for Mr. Xie's body shape. As for the gift, I have a can of precious golden sprouts..."
When Tang Bai heard the doorbell, he ran to open the door in slippers with Snowball. What he saw when he opened the door was Xie Ruheng in a suit and tie, carrying large and small bags of things, with a serious look on his face, as he came to visit.
"If you are a pheasant, I am willing to be your shelter. If you are an eagle, I am willing to be your home." This is the comment made by the little angel with the ID "Tail" on Mr. Tang. I thought it was very appropriate and used it. This generation of readers is too good (eating claws)
