Chapter 78.2
Editor: Jodi
On the other side, Po Nan Zhi’s team also received the news of Li Qingzhou’s request for an extra round.
Po Nan Zhi was initially stunned then couldn’t help but feel delighted secretly.
—No matter what madness he was up to with this sudden request for an extra round, the current situation seemed to be in their favor.
As long as Li Qingzhou’s team’s rescue robot failed to meet rescue standards in the extra round, their scores would be halved.
At that time, their team was very likely to advance smoothly!
This was really….
Po Nan Zhi’s mood, which had been at the bottom throughout the competition, suddenly improved.
—However the netizens who had been following the competition all along weren’t optimistic about the extra round.
—They couldn’t understand why this extra round, clearly a move to reverse the situation, was requested when Rescue One was leading in scores.
Had President Li become too proud and arrogant because of winning all the way, coupled with the praise and adoration from the audience and netizens?
Was this really not calling for a disaster?!
[Ah ah ah ah, President Li, what are you doing?! Please, reconsider, don’t go through with the extra round!]
[What are the members of the Unique Studio Team doing? Quickly stop President Li, otherwise they’ll lose luck of the draw in the second round. Don’t let Po Nan Zhi advance!]
[Hehe, it feels like they’re courting disaster.]
Li Qingzhou couldn’t hear the cries of the netizens.
At this moment, Rescue One had already completed the rubble rescue work, and the surrounding staff were packing up equipment, while Yu Zhe and others prepared their laptops and belongings.
Viewers and netizens then saw through the camera— the Unique Studio Team was heading to the competition area where Po Nan Zhi’s team was located.
[Could it be that the extra round is about underwater rescue?!]
The viewers and netizens guessed correctly. It was indeed about underwater rescue.
When Po Nan Zhi saw Li Qingzhou and his team in the underwater rescue competition area, he couldn’t control his facial expression and burst into laughter.
—Post-disaster rescue and underwater rescue were completely different concepts, starting with the materials used, not to mention the equipment and configuration.
What gave Li Qingzhou the confidence to request this extra round?!
Did he really think that Rescue One could outperform Jensen in underwater rescue? He was being too arrogant.
However….. being arrogant could be a good thing. It was best to let his pride and overconfidence ruin Rescue One.
Po Nan Zhi thought darkly to himself.
However, he soon couldn’t find a reason to smile.
—Because Yu Zhe and Dong Lin took pre-made and pre-assembled scattered parts from the boxes they had brought.
Then they placed these parts in front of Rescue One.
Po Nan Zhi recognized at a glance that all these parts were exactly what were needed for underwater rescue.
Were they going to assemble them on the spot?!
But this couldn’t be possible. The extra round’s requirement was that the team’s participating robot couldn’t undergo any further manual modifications.
How could the Unique Studio Team openly violate the rules….
Not only did Po Nan Zhi think this way, even the viewers and netizens thought so too.
However they were soon left wide-eyed in shock.
—They only heard as Li Qingzhou gave the command, then Rescue One automatically began to pick up tools and replace itself with the relevant parts and equipment for underwater rescue.
Rescue One’s robotic mechanical arms worked separately, with swift and precise movements.
Gradually, one by one, the parts that didn’t fit underwater rescue were replaced, and the equipment suitable for submersion was installed…..
No human intervention, it was entirely Rescue One’s own actions.
The viewers and netizens couldn’t take their eyes off it, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, Rescue One’s flat electronic voice sounded, “Captain, Rescue One’s replacement is complete, requesting permission to go into the water.”
It was even faster than manual replacement…..
That’s right….. it was because Rescue One had multiple mechanical arms.
Li Qingzhou said, “Permission to go into the water granted.”
It wasn’t until Rescue One disappeared beneath the surface that the viewers and netizens finally snapped out of it, and then they went wild.
[Fck, sht, d*mn! Forgive my limited vocabulary. I just can’t find words to describe Rescue One’s, no, President Li’s amazing feat! I’m almost out of words!]
[I was wrong, I shouldn’t have doubted President Li’s decision.]
[Hahaha, look at Po Nan Zhi’s expression! It’s like he just bit into candy, only to find out it’s filled with sh*t. Hahaha, priceless.]
Po Nan Zhi’s face twitched uncontrollably.
He had a bad feeling in his heart and slowly, despair crept in…..
As expected.
In the end, Rescue One completed the underwater rescue operation flawlessly, securing its qualification for the next round with a score that far surpassed Po Nan Zhi’s Team.
After the competition, the two teams shook hands as a sign of sportsmanship.
However Po Nan Zhi ignored Li Qingzhou’s outstretched hand completely, his expression ugly as he turned to walk away.
The viewers and netizens were first surprised, then they criticized him for his lack of sportsmanship, urging him to go back to his own country. What an eyesore.
Liu Bohuai came to the backstage area to find Li Qingzhou, just to hear Dong Lin complaining, “Po Nan Zhi is really a terrible person. He has no grace in defeat.”
“I can’t understand how a person like him could have created Jensen…..”
He couldn’t believe he actually ignored President Li’s handshake.
Although Li Qingzhou didn’t speak, he nodded.
As Liu Bohuai approached, he heard—
[Isn’t he just a terrible person? He even mocked me before, saying that no matter how much wealth I have, I can’t even heal my own legs.]
[As a disabled person, there’s no need to envy him. Qi, who wants to envy him…..]
His legs were perfectly fine, not in need of any envy.
—The little guy in the bubble pouted and grumbled.
A cold glint flickered in Liu Bohuai’s eyes, but it disappeared when Li Qingzhou looked his way.
[Third Master!]
—The little guy in the bubble lit up immediately with a joyful smile when he saw him, raising his arm above his head to make a heart shape, looking utterly adorable and cute.
Walking over, Liu Bohuai ruffled Li Qingzhou’s hair.
Li Qingzhou, puzzled, tilted his head slightly.
Before the martial arts robot competition began, Po Nan Zhi suddenly returned to his home country.
And not long after, it was revealed that his girlfriend had broken up with him and exposed to the H Country media that the underwater rescue robot Jensen wasn’t created by Po Nan Zhi, but by someone else entirely.
Po Nan Zhi had plagiarized someone else’s idea and had asked her to help cover it up with money.
She had been misled by Po Nan Zhi before, that’s why she did something unethical, and now she deeply regretted it.
So, she apologized publicly to the person whose idea had been stolen.
Meanwhile, the regional competition organizers also agreed to strip the honors associated with Jensen from Po Nan Zhi and return them to the original creator.
In a short period of time, Po Nan Zhi became a pariah in H Country, with everyone turning against him.
