Chapter 41: Chapter 41
Tang Bai looked at the list of results of the preliminary round, and his eyes lingered on the ID of the second place winner "Cheng Yangbin" for a long time.
The ID names of the MechBuild contestants will be filled out by the contestants themselves, some will put in their real names, others will put in their codenames or screen names.
If the name "Cheng Yangbin" is a real name, then it's a coincidence that he met the noble alpha who raped Lu An in the book.
Coincidentally, his score was one point higher than Cheng Yangbin's, and their IDs were right next to each other, one on top of the other, making Tang Bai feel physically sick.
Cheng Yangbin doesn't take up a lot of space in the book; his presence in the military school chapter is the chief of the mechanical department, and after graduation he enters the council as the representative of the Outstanding Young Mecha Maker, where he and Bai Zhi are the diametrically opposed factions.
Bai Zhi advocated for the advancement of omega rights, while Cheng Yangbin exploited omega and civilian interests.
The book also mentions, the Qin family is actually the Cheng family's puppet, on the surface is the Qin family mastered the energy crystals, divided the human resources of the slums, in fact, most of the Qin family's interests are supplied to the Cheng family, and the Cheng family's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and finally even the energy crystals will be sold to the empire......
After Cheng Yangbin was killed by Xie Ruhang, Gu Tunan and Bai Zhi investigated many of Cheng Yangbin's hidden crimes in order to help Xie Ruhang get out of the case, one of which was bribing the judges when he took part in the mecha building competition, and the mecha design drawings were not made by Cheng Yangbin himself. One of them was bribing the judges when he participated in the mecha building competition.
The book does not clearly mention which edition of the Mecha Manufacturing Competition Cheng Yangbin participated in, Tang Bai has been paying attention to this competition before, knowing that it is not the previous edition, he thought that it might be the next year and the year after that, but he did not expect that Cheng Yangbin participated in this year's edition.
Pretty good.
The expressionless Tang Bai showed an adorable smile as he added to the official staff, "I hope that the evaluation will allow me to pit my mech against the second place contestant's mech."
Official Staff:"!!!"
Official Staff: "Are you sure you want to play against Cheng Yangbin? Although his score is only one point lower than yours, the overall strength of Cheng Yangbin's mecha is very strong, so if you lose to Cheng Yangbin in the evaluation, the officials will probably adjust your ranking."
In this mecha manufacturing competition, Cheng Yangbin was hot, the winner of many speculations, and was hailed by netizens as a mecha manufacturing genius that comes along once in a century.
Why a hundred years? Because the last mech-building genius was Tang Bai's grandfather.
This time Tang Bai narrowly beat Cheng Yangbin by a single point, not only netizens said that there were shady practices, even the staff secretly discussed the ranking, and many thought that if not for the malicious scoring of Bai Zhi, an omega who doesn't know mecha and still blindly puts it together, Cheng Yangbin would have definitely been number one.
Many others believe Bai Zhi is just an A-hater, deliberately suppressing potential newcomers, and the hashtag #omegagetoutofthemecha-makingcircle has climbed to the bottom of the interstellar entertainment gossip list.
Tang Bai's novel has also been swiped by a group of sightseeing tours, the reason for the swipe is "omega get out of the mecha manufacturing circle", his article has been forced to lock the article because of the excessive number of reports, which makes Tang Bai suspect that someone is maliciously guiding public opinion and attacking him and Bai Zhi, mainly targeting Bai Zhi, his Ma Jia people should be incidentally swiped at. Zhi, his Ma Jia guys should be swept along.
Tang Bai: "I'm sure. Since a lot of people think that the judges scored Cheng Yangbin low, why don't we evaluate Cheng Yangbin's mecha as well, so that everyone can see who's the real number one. [smile.jpg]"
The staff sent Tang Bai a sweaty emoji, explaining, "We need to consult with Cheng Yangbin's contestants."
Tang Bai : "Okay then. [smile.jpg]"
The soybean smiley face perfectly embodies the mood of Tang Bai's store at the moment. He waited for a while, but instead of waiting for a reply from the staff, he received a private message from Bai Zhi's jury:
"Contestant Jun Tongchen, I've heard that you've requested a public test with Cheng Yangbin's mecha, and Cheng Yangbin says he'll accept it, but he needs to take me out of the evaluation and let the other nine judges score it. Are you sure you want to go ahead with the public test with contestant Cheng Yangbin when I can't score it for you?"
After Bai Zhi sent this message, he waited for a reply from the contestant, who had initially admired the "Jun Tongchen" contestant and his design concepts.
Because "Jun Tongchen" designed a mecha that can be operated by omega, which has never been done before, he thought it was a great innovation and a step forward in the history of mecha, so Bai Zhi gave it ten points.
However, "Jun Tongchen" was a bit too reckless this time, trying to cooperate with the official clarification that he has nothing to blame, but at the same time, trying to challenge Cheng Yangbin was too impulsive.
If Cheng Yangbin is the first in this preliminary round, it will have a certain impact on his next series of plans.
If "Jun Tongchen" doesn't win, he'll have to go for the backup plan, but for now Bai Zhi decides to see how Tang Bai performs first.
Tang Bai, ignorant of Big Brother's complex mental activities: "Thank you for caring about me so much!"
"Please rest assured! I didn't make this decision on a whim, I'm sure I want to continue challenging Cheng Yangbin!"
Seeing this inexplicable a silly white sweet breath floating out of the reply, Bai Zhi in this moment actually remembered the silly money Tang family small omega.
It must be his delusion.
Bai Zhi: "Good."
Bai Zhi : "[Horse to Success.jpg]"
A horse runs on the blue sky and green grass, while four colorful glitter fonts blind Tang Bai's KAZLAN eyes.
Tang Bai : "[Horse to Success.jpg]"
Once you accept this retro trendy emoji setup, the mood is instantly high yet!
The two stallions ran recklessly on the green grassy prairie, and the atmosphere was incomparably harmonious.
The conversation that ensued was similar to what Bai Zhi had told us, as Tang Bai accepted the offer to be evaluated by the other nine judges and made an appointment with the staff for the evaluation the day after tomorrow.
He needed the entry mech to be ready by the day after tomorrow.
While other contestants may have prepared for this competition for years and built their mechs before they signed up, Tang Bai signed up on an ad hoc basis. Although he had already prepared the basic parts, operating system, and general framework, the fastest he could assemble the mechs would take more than twenty hours, so Tang Bai was prepared to enlist the help of his grandfather to help him out.
"Grandpa, didn't I sign up for the mecha building competition? I encountered a problem during the competition ......" Tang Bai didn't mention about Cheng Yangbin, he simply said that he needed grandpa's help to catch up with the progress because he also had little evidence to prove that Cheng Yangbin bribed the judges and paid for the design.
Grandpa Tang stroked his beard and watched Tang Bai shredding in front of him, and when Tang Bai mentioned the name Cheng Yangbin, the flicker of disgust in his eyes was caught by Grandpa Tang.
When Tang Bai finished speaking and looked over blearily, Grandpa Tang sighed and slowly said, "I've been paying attention to this Mecha Manufacturing Competition, and several of the judges are my disciples, and even though I'm old and don't really care about things between juniors, this competition was founded by me, and I have the responsibility to make sure that it's going to be fair and impartial."
"Sugar, grandpa knows that you participated in the competition anonymously because you didn't want to expose your identity, and hoped to win based on your strength, and you wanted to solve the problem in your own way when you were aggrieved, and grandpa is very relieved."
Grandpa Tang said softly, "But Sugarplum, if you encounter something you can't solve on your own, don't try to be strong, come back and tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will give you a head start." For if you are the Sparrow Pheasant, I will be your shelter.
And when you're a fledgling, I'd like to be the place you return to.

"Cheng Jun, are you sure you can win over that ' Jun Tongchen ' in the next assessment?" Qin Jun attentively poured a glass of wine for the outstanding-looking alpha in front of him.
The alpha had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and customized attire outlining a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted figure, making the fan-favorite mech-making genius look even more imposing.
Just ask, who could refuse a mech-making genius of noble birth, amazing talent, extraordinary looks, and courteous manners?
If Qin Jun hadn't played omega with this Cheng Gongzi and played out a deep bond, he couldn't believe that this Cheng Gongzi was essentially no different from him.
In addition to his family history and looks being better than him, all those character and talent that were blown up by the fans were all painstakingly packaged by the Cheng family in order to send this Cheng Gongzi into the parliament in the future.
Even this Mecha Manufacturing Competition was just a gold-plated trip for Cheng Yangbin, the Cheng Family had bought out the two judges, and what they used to bribe the judges was still the extremely high quality energy crystals that they, the Qin Family, had handed over.
The demand for advanced energy crystals was extremely high when mech builders researched advanced mechs, and the Cheng family was generous, and under the temptation of box after box of energy crystals, the two mech builder judges with no background loosened their mouths, promising to give a maximum of nine points.
Coupled with the high quality of the mech design drawings bought by the Cheng family, the first place in the preliminary round should have been a sure thing, but it turned out that a Cheng family was killed halfway.
Cheng Yangbin shook his wine glass and said calmly, "There's no way I'm going to lose."
"A first-class mech builder and I have analyzed the pros and cons of the ' Jun Tongchen ' mech, and the biggest advantage of that mech," the azure eyes flashed a hint of contempt, "is that it lowers the threshold of mech manipulation, so that that bunch of trash omega can also touch the mech."
"Bai Zhi doesn't participate in the scoring, what's that ' Jun Tongchen ' going to compete with me? Being cute?" Cheng Yangbin raised his glass of wine and drank it all in one go, leaning back lazily on the sofa afterward, and said to Qin Jun, "The water army was well bought this time."
The large area of black reviews and black hot searches on the network are all bought by Qin Jun with money, Qin Jun worked hard for half a day, in exchange for Cheng Yangbin a light praise, which makes the outside is also being held up by people Qin Jun hold his breath, "Cheng Shao satisfied, I first for Cheng Shao's first in the preliminary round of the cheers! "

"Brother Xie, you should know about that Jun Tongchen thing, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Xie Ruhang, who was angrily denouncing the site's locking of the text with his trumpet in the readers' group: "......?!" He quickly clicked his head like to see if he had cut the wrong number.
"Brother Xie can you help me test the mech?" Tang Bai, who was breathing heavily, said, "I promised the official of the Mecha Building Competition to put out an issue of public evaluation, and I want Brother Xie you to be the evaluator because the free combat mode in my mecha system is very special, and I think that only Brother Xie you can perfectly utilize its advantages."
Xie Ruhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Sure."
Tang Bai said happily, "That's great! I love you so much! The mech is at my house, Grandpa and I are still busy testing the mech, we don't have time to come over to pick you up, this is the address of my house, Brother Xie, is it convenient for you to come over now?"
Xie Ruhang : "!!!"
Xie Ruhang's pupils quake, "Is this, is this too sudden? I'm not ready for this."
Tang Bai: "?"
Tang Bai: "Do you need to warm up first to operate a mech? It's okay, I'm not in a hurry now, Brother Xie you can come later, just come to my house for dinner, by the way Brother Xie what do you like to eat, I'll talk to my mom and ask her to make it for you, my mom's cooking is even better than mine!"
Xie Ruhang's heart was filled with the panic of an ugly daughter-in-law about to meet her in-laws, and he panicked, "I eat everything, don't bother Auntie."
Tang Bai : "Well then, it's a deal, we'll see you at dinner time, I'm going to test the mecha first, so we won't talk~"
Xie Ruhang : "!!!!!!"
Wait a minute! We haven't even discussed what I'm going to bring and wear and say on my first visit why are you leaving!!!!!
Xie Ruhang, who felt like the world was about to fall apart, glanced at the time and realized with horror that it was now four o'clock!!!!
He swished to his feet and opened his closet to see that it was full of tofu blocks that he couldn't hold!
Perhaps it is a habit of the slums that Xie Ruhang is not used to buying too nice clothes, as expensive clothing can be easily targeted and cause unnecessary trouble.
He usually wears a military uniform at school, and no one cares if he wears a pair of ripped jeans in the slums. The white shirt and black pants he wore when he was last out with Tang Bai is one of the few suits he can pull off, but it's a little too casual.
Shouldn't you dress formally for your first visit to a subject's home in high society?
No, he had to rush to the store to buy a suit, and gifts, at least three, for each of Tang Bai's three elders.
Xie Ruhang rushes downstairs, forgetting to put on his gloves.
"Little Brother Xie!" "Little Brother Xie, where are you going?" "Little Brother Xie, wait!"
Xie Ruhang stopped walking and saw Lu Xiaoshan walking over with two red apples, "Little Brother Xie brother, these are the apples we grew ourselves, little dad picked the two best looking ones and wanted to give them to you and Brother Sugarplum, thank you for helping little dad find the doctor."
"And my flowers, this is for Brother Sugar for the cookies he gave me last time." Jiang Quan said holding a bouquet of wildflowers he had picked from somewhere.
"I have something for Brother Sugarplum too!" A child carefully pulled an egg out of his arms, "This is for Brother Sugarplum."
"Me too!" "I have one too." "This one is from me for Brother Sugar."
......
A group of children surrounded Xie Ruhang, who froze for a moment, even as he saw that one of the children's gift was a nice-looking rock.
"There are so many of your things, how can little Brother Xie carry them all?" Mr. Ling walked up with the bags, "Mr. Xie, are you going out now?"
"Yes, I'm going to Tang Bai's house." Xie Ruhang said, "But I don't know what I'm going to wear or bring to the house."
For the first time, Mr. Ling saw the always calm and collected alpha reveal a furtive uneasiness that matched his age, and he laughed, "It's too late to buy clothes now, there's a brand new suit at my house that should fit Mr. Xie's body type, and as for gifts, I have a can of treasured gold buds ......"
When Tang Bai heard the doorbell and ran to open the door with his slippers and snowballs, he opened the door to see Xie Ruhang, dressed in a suit, carrying a large bag of things, full of seriousness in the face of the appearance of the door to visit.
