Chapter 959 - Digging Your Own Grave

How sinister.

That was what the people from the research institute were thinking.

Even the people at Lanca Academy felt that she was doing something wrong. Was she doing this to win?

Indeed, from the first round, it was obvious that Teacher Sheng was really strong.

They could have still won the first round if they had given Team Leader Ding some face and gotten second place. However, Sheng Yang refused to do so and gave the research institute a hard blow.

She didn’t understand how to leave others with a way out.

After his aunt’s lesson, Ding Xing didn’t dare to stand up for her anymore. He just glared at Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang’s face was still as calm as the moon. She looked at Mr. Yu quietly. “What do you think of it?”

Before Mr. Yu could speak, Ding Lan smiled brightly. “Teacher Sheng, there won’t be much meaning to doing it like this, right?”

“Why are you so boring?” Sheng Yang stared at Ding Lan. “Don’t tell me machinery majors don’t understand the ultimate goal of machinery?”

It was child’s play to think that the aim of machinery was just to help pass water and do what workers could do.

Robots needed to be able to do things that ordinary people could not. This was the highest profound goal of machinery.

Ding Lan opened her mouth, resisted the urge, and finally said angrily, “Can you do that?”

She finally said what was on her mind. This time, it was Ding Xing’s turn to stare at his aunt with a strange expression.

His aunt must have suppressed it for a long time and was on the verge of collapse. That was why she said that.

Sheng Yang completely ignored her and looked straight at Mr. Yu, not forgetting her purpose. “Besides, it’s not meaningless to restore shredded papers. This technology is suitable for financial investigations and cases.”

“Oh, Teacher Sheng, you know finance too?” Mr. Yu stood up from his chair, completely interested.

Ding Lan saw that the situation was bad and closed her eyes.

As expected, Mr. Yu wanted to agree to her challenge. “We’ve always done jigsaw puzzles in the past, but that’s all about speed. However, the challenge Teacher Sheng proposed this time is a super-enhanced version of the jigsaw puzzle. It’s not a bad idea. Moreover, compared to jigsaw puzzles, there’s more important practical meaning in doing this. Isn’t the appearance of machines to change and benefit human lives?”

Ding Lan was silent for a long moment. Then, she suddenly said, “I disagree.”

“…”

Everyone was shocked. It would be normal if she didn’t agree. It would be abnormal if she did.

“But I can accept it.” A smile appeared on Ding Lan’s face. “Restoring shredded paper is extremely difficult. I’ve never seen anyone complete it in the research institute. Therefore, I need to add a condition.”

Everyone listened in silence.

“If no one completes it, this round will be considered invalid. It won’t contribute to the total score.”

Sheng Yang didn’t give in. “What if someone completes it?”

Ding Lan smiled confidently. She wanted to completely ruin Sheng Yang’s plan. “If someone completes it, we’ll follow the rules. Whoever completes it wins.”

“Okay.” Sheng Yang didn’t hesitate.

“…”

She actually agreed. She actually dared to agree.

She was simply digging her own grave!

What was the point of this round of the competition?

It was destined to be invalid!

After that, everyone had different thoughts. Other than Sheng Yang, the others just had the idea of playing around.

Tong Xieyi focused all her attention on Sheng Yang. Would she be able to do it?

She forced herself to focus. No matter what, she would do her best.

If she could complete this impossible mission, she would become famous in one battle and wash away the humiliation of being defeated by Ding Lan earlier.

She was a little pleased that this suggestion had passed. This was because one of the Four Gods had specially trained her. Compared to the others, she had a higher chance of winning!
