Chapter 54
Cheng Luliu was handcuffed and taken away, while Cheng Yangbin was too embarrassed to stay at the competition venue and left in disgrace amid a chorus of boos from the barrage of comments.
[Wait, if Cheng Yangbin's grades are invalidated, what about Jun Tongchen's grades? ]
[Yes, didn’t Jun Tongchen also know the final question of Paper A in advance? This is unfair to other contestants.]
[Also, the money Cheng Yangbin gave to Jun Tongchen for the beating had so many zeros! I’m jealous of the rich!]
[Cheng Yangbin is so miserable, he spent money to hire someone to slap himself in the face]
When Lieutenant General Mo saw the questioning voices on the screen, he subconsciously looked at Tang Bai and met his bright and determined eyes.
When Tang Bai revealed Cheng Yangbin to him, he had already negotiated with Tang Bai that the military could not directly crack citizens' optical computers and explore their privacy without sufficient evidence.
The only evidence Tang Bai had was to prove that it was Qin Jun who purchased the drawings from him.
Unless Tang Bai and Cheng Yangbin took Paper A, and Cheng Yangbin used the drawing submitted by Tang Bai in the last question of the exam, it would be possible to prove that Cheng Yangbin cheated. However, this method would have a certain impact on Tang Bai.
After seeing the omega wearing a human/skin mask nod slightly to him, Lieutenant General Mo said, "In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, Jun Tongchen's A paper score is invalid. Next, Jun Tongchen will retake C paper."
"What?!"
Lieutenant General Mo's words shocked everyone.
The final lasted for twelve hours. This time, Tang Bai and Cheng Yangbin both handed in their papers ahead of time, so it only took seven hours, while the other eighteen contestants were still answering questions in the examination room.
If Tang Bai started the exam again now, without the big questions predicted in advance, it would take at least eight or nine hours. He didn't know if his body could withstand taking the exam continuously.
After all, Jun Tongchen is a beta, and his physique is not as good as that of an alpha.
The judges present were a little worried. They admired Jun Tongchen's talent and didn't want him to be overworked and affect his performance in the competition.
Bai Zhi frowned and said, "Jun Tongchen exposed Cheng Yangbin's cheating and maintained the fairness of the competition. Can we relax the rules for meritorious officials and give Jun Tongchen plenty of rest time so that he can return to the competition after he recovers his spirits?"
"Thank you Mr. Bai Zhi for your kindness, but I have already signed a letter of commitment with the official investigation team, promising to complete the final task as soon as possible without affecting the progress of the competition as much as possible." Tang Bai expressed his gratitude to Bai Zhi.
Tang Bai turned to look at the live broadcast ball, "I have donated all the money that Cheng Yangbin paid for the rescue activities of slum omegas, to help slum omegas receive education and improve the living environment of slum omegas. If you are interested in this project, you can learn about the "Warm Spring Project" initiated by Mr. Bai Zhi to help every lost omega return home."
The green eyes could not hide the surprise, Bai Zhi looked at Tang Bai in a bit of surprise, only to see
After Tang Bai finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the camera.
His waist was bent very low, as if he was going to sink into the dust. When he straightened up again and turned around and walked into the examination room, it took Danmu a long time to come back to his senses.
"Paper C is actually the most difficult." Professor Li sighed.
When the other judges looked at each other, they saw regret in each other's eyes. Paper C was more difficult than Paper B, and the score from Paper C would definitely be worse than that from Paper B.
Moreover, this contestant, Jun Tongchen, was said to be self-taught, and the C paper he drew happened to test some tricky, strange and little-known knowledge points.
Sure enough, Jun Tongchen in the examination room did not write for a long time after seeing the test paper.
Professor Li shook his head. He had seen the contestant's paper. Jun Tongchen only knew the last mecha design question in Paper A in advance, but he didn't know the other questions. However, he answered those questions very well. It would not be easy for him to perform so well if he changed to Paper C.
The champion of the mecha manufacturing competition can study in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Federation. Professor Li has wanted to recruit such a student for a long time...
What a pity.
Tang Bai opened the test paper and read from the first question to the last one. The difficulty of the test paper had obviously increased. There were some theories that were not mentioned at all in the self-study tutorials on general websites. However, Tang Bai had learned a lot from Grandpa Tang some time ago. The national curriculum standards for mecha manufacturing were set by Grandpa Tang. No matter how biased the knowledge was, it could not escape the scope set by Grandpa Tang.
Tang Bai thoroughly understood the knowledge that Grandpa Tang considered to be biased, so the knowledge points on the test papers naturally did not stump him.
What really surprised him was the last question, which was about the design of a space combat mecha.
The idea of space combat mecha was just proposed this year and is not taken seriously in the Federation because many mecha manufacturers believe that space combat has already been accomplished by starships, and it would be a waste of resources to research the same type of space combat mecha.
Mr. Tang also thinks so.
If Tang Bai had not read the novel in his mind, he would probably have agreed with the mainstream thinking in the country.
The book mentioned that when the Federation and the Empire were at war, an unheard-of creature appeared in space. It looked like a giant cockroach, fed on metals and energy crystals, had thick skin and flesh, and could survive in extremely harsh environments. Once it attached itself to a giant starship, it would be enough to bring down the entire starship. Only space mechas were the best weapons to destroy this creature.
Unfortunately, due to the low initial investment in space mechas, the Federation suffered heavy losses in its first few encounters with these insects and suffered several defeats in succession.
Tang Bai took a deep breath.
He hoped that this time, he could help the federation avoid taking too many detours.
[Jun Tongchen was in a daze for a long time. Could it be that he was dumbfounded by the question being too difficult? ]
[Space combat mechas are indeed unpopular, and our teacher even skipped talking about them in class]
【Wait! Look! 】
A shocking scene appeared on the live screen.
The thin beta stared at the test paper for a moment, then wrote quickly and finished it in one go. His speed was even faster than when he did Paper A!
#Cheng Yangbin cheated in the final of the mecha manufacturing competition#
#Cheng Yangbin scolds himself#
#Cheng Luliu will be held criminally responsible for leaking exam questions#
#Revealing the secret of why the image of a genius in mecha manufacturing collapsed#
The mecha manufacturing competition is a highly popular event among the public. When Cheng Yangbin was found to have cheated, public opinion on the Star Network exploded instantly, and nearly half of the hot searches on Star Entertainment were about Cheng family scandals.
A foreign mecha maker saw traces of his own work on the drawings that Cheng Yangbin handed over to the master before the modification. The mecha maker came from a country with a strong copyright, and in a fit of rage, he directly sent a lawyer's letter and demanded a huge compensation.
The power of netizens is endless. Soon other netizens found out that all of Cheng Yangbin’s previous works had traces of plagiarism. Many people came out to claim the credit in order to catch the attention. For a while, it seemed that Cheng Yangbin had plagiarized most of the mecha manufacturing circle.
Cheng Yangbin was furious but could do nothing about it. He suddenly became a pariah, even more outrageous than Qin Jun who apologized in public some time ago.
Although the Cheng family spent money to help Cheng Yangbin suppress the trending searches, Cheng Yangbin's reputation stain could not be redeemed.
His bright future, his life as a congressman, and even his future as the head of the Cheng family were ruined by this stain.
Cheng Yangbin smashed a set of cups and two vases at home, venting his anger hysterically. A call made Cheng Yangbin look up from the mess on the ground. He answered the call with a gloomy face, "Mr. Cheng, I have found out Jun Tongchen's identity. You will never guess who he is."
"Don't beat around the bush, who is it?!" After a while, Cheng Yangbin's tone changed: "What did you say?!"
"Question 18 is correct!"
"Question 19 has also been solved!"
"He answered all the previous questions!" one of the judges said in disbelief.
"If it were me who was answering the questions, I wouldn't be able to answer them so well..."
Professor Li looked thoughtfully at the design drawing of the space combat mecha drawn by Tang Bai on the screen.
A novel but surprisingly complete concept, abandoning the two-leg structure of the humanoid mecha, using the galaxy propulsion engine to complete the movement of the mecha, and the weapons carried by the mecha are mainly beyond-visual-range striking weapons...
It seems that Jun Tongchen is very interested in space combat mechas.
"Ding - the test is over. Except for contestant No. 103 Jun Tongchen, who continues to answer the questions, all other contestants please put down their answer sheets and leave the examination room."
Tang Bai, who was writing furiously, realized that he was extremely hungry when he heard the bell. However, he was so excited that he was not aware of hunger at all when he was answering the questions.
My eyes fell on the last question which was almost completed.
Tang Bai's expression was calm, and the ringing did not disrupt his drawing rhythm. He wrote down his opinion in an orderly manner: "I think space combat mechas can play an unexpected restraining role when encountering special races in the universe..."
[Alas, I can only see a mosaic]
[Look at the judges. One old man had a sullen face one second and stamped his feet with joy the next. I really don’t know what magic Jun Tongchen’s paper has.]
[You can’t look at the last question but you can look at the previous ones. I did a lot of the math in my head. The top student in our dormitory shut himself up when he saw this.]
[Is this the world of the god of learning? Love it.]
[Jun Tongchen is so amazing, why didn't he go to college? This doesn't make sense. With his brain, he would be sought after no matter which university he goes to.]
Amid the lively discussion on the bullet screen, the protagonist at the center of the topic picked up his test paper, left the exam, and walked out of the hall to get some fresh air while the judges were grading the results.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening. There were eighteen other contestants and their families and friends waiting for the results outside the hall. Tang Bai only told Grandpa Tang about his anonymous participation in the competition. He knew that Grandpa Tang would not show up now to avoid suspicion, but it didn't matter -
Sitting in the seat No. 103 for contestant Jun Tongchen was a handsome young man, Xie Ruheng, whom Tang Bai hadn't seen in the past few days.
"Brother Xie!" Tang Bai didn't expect Xie Ruheng to appear here. Xie Ruheng was practicing etiquette knowledge during this period, because Tang Bai couldn't tell Xie Ruheng that I knew the questions. Everything I taught you will be tested, and you don't have to practice what you haven't taught. So Xie Ruheng practiced etiquette in his free time. Tang Bai was embarrassed to disturb Xie Ruheng recently.
When Tang Bai walked up quickly, he found that Xie Ruheng was holding an insulated box in his hand, which contained rabbit meat that he had eaten at a roadside stall.
Tang Bai: “!!!”
Tang Bai's eyes lit up: "How do you know I like to eat this?!"
"I saw in your circle of friends that you said the rabbit meat here is delicious." Xie Ruheng stood up and gave his seat to Tang Bai. He calmly struck a pose that showed off his physique, showing Tang Bai his strong but not overly prominent biceps, triceps, and smooth muscle lines.
He had done some research and found that Tang Bai's mysterious liking for Xiao Cheng might be due to Xiao Cheng's figure-revealing dressing style.
As an alpha who often lurks in the group of omega celebrities, Xie Ruheng has learned a lot of new knowledge!
For example, omegas can also be attracted to alphas!
His seemingly casual outfit was actually full of scheming. The top three buttons of his tight white shirt were undone. It was said that this was an irresistible temptation for the socialites in the group.
Xie Ruheng turned his head slightly, his lips curled up, his eyes were deep, and his tone was gentle: "You have been sitting in the examination room for a whole day, and you only drank nutrient solution once at twelve o'clock. You must be hungry. Eat something hot first."
Tang Bai nodded vigorously, and after eating the familiar rabbit meat, he said with emotion: "Thank you, brother!"
He was so engrossed in eating the entire time that he didn't even have the time to look at Xie Ruheng.
The cold wind from outside the window blew across Xie Ruheng's clothes, making him feel a little disappointed that no one was supporting him.
Tang Bai ate a big mouthful of rabbit meat with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but send a message to Xiao Cheng to share her happiness: "Have you had dinner?! My sister sent me the rabbit meat we ate together last time, it's so delicious!"
Ding ding ding ding message alert sounds rang out from Xie Ruheng one after another, like a series of life-threatening calls, and each ding matched the rhythm of Tang Bai's messages.
Seeing Tang Bai looking up blankly, Xie Ruheng forced a smile and said, "Ah... There are too many things to do at school. The class committee keeps sending me messages."
Tang Bai said distressedly: "Thank you brother for coming to see me even though you are so busy." There was a live broadcast of the football game in the hall. Tang Bai was afraid of being heard by someone with ulterior motives, so he could only sigh and say: "Good brother!" Then he lowered his head and prepared to tell Xiao Cheng how gentle and considerate his good sister was!
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Tang Bai was typing, Xie Ruheng used his twenty years of singleness to move his fingers as fast as lightning and successfully made Tang Bai choose to mute the message before it was sent!
Xie Ruheng, whose heart was about to stop, felt as if he had just raced against death. He looked at the message sent by Tang Bai with a sullen face.
Tang Bai: "Wuwuwu, I have the best sisters in the world!"
Xie Ruheng: “…”
Tsk, this little green tea girl would even do a sex change behind someone's back.
I changed the cover because there were 80-90 comments saying the old cover was ugly. There were comments about it almost every day. Some people even came to Weibo and Penguin to talk to me about it. There were even 4-5 readers who gave me negative comments because the cover was ugly.
The font layout of the new cover is still waiting for the artist. It is estimated that it will be completed in the next two days. By then, the background will not be dark anymore.
A lot of time and money went into both the new and old covers, and I like them both. The new cover has just come out, so I want to cherish it first. If you miss the old cover, you can go to Weibo to check it out, but don’t say the new cover is ugly, I love it very much. I’ll be sad if you say that, and if I’m sad, I won’t be able to update regularly!
