Ed would be very happy. He dared to say that no one in the field of robots could surpass him.
âThen letâs compete in this.â Ed couldnât hide the smile on his face. He seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
Tan Rou had brought two computers over. They were neither their companyâs computers nor Edâs computers. They were just computers borrowed from the exhibition hall next door. It would only be fair if they use someone elseâs computer.
Immediately after, Tan Rou took out two new mini-robots from the exhibition hall. These were robots that were previously produced. This time, they were only brought here to make up the numbers, but now they could be put to use.
Tan Rou said, âThese two robots are produced by our company. I donât know if their performance can compare to your companyâs robots, but now is not the time to discuss this problem. Since we want to compete, we have to compete through these robots.â
Ed took a fancy to the mini robot. It looked very cute, like a round little penguin, but it was a white penguin.
Tan Rou was constantly paying attention to Edâs expression. When she saw that he seemed to like it, she continued, âThis robot has been implanted with our companyâs program. But now, I will erase the program instructions of both robots and turn them into blank robots. Then, weâll each write the program instructions to get the robot to work again.â
Ed liked this challenge very much. He couldnât wait to get started.
Tan Rou deliberately made him anxious. âRegarding the rules of the competition, have you heard them?â
Although Ed was anxious, he did not completely forget about the competition. When he heard Tan Rou say that she wanted to remove the robotâs instructions, he felt a little uneasy. âNo, this robot is produced by your company. If you want to tamper with it, I canât stop you. Therefore, I should be the one to clear the command. Donât worry, I definitely wonât do anything behind the scenes.â
Tan Rou had no objections. She pushed the robot in front of Ed and said, âYou can start now.â
Ed quickly familiarized himself with the operation of the robots and took out their control chips. It took him a while to clear the instructions inside.
As he cleared the instructions, he thought, âThis company is not simple. The robots they produce are complicated. If I wasnât familiar with robots, I might not have been able to cope with todayâs competition.â
Ed was clearing the robotâs control program while Shang Jin laughed at him.
âI thought the people from Smith Company were very powerful. I didnât expect that they couldnât even handle a small robot. Mr. Smith, didnât you say that youâre an expert in the field of robots?â Shang Jin mocked. Why isnât it over yet?â
Ed felt that his pride had been insulted, but he could not refute it. He could only continue to stare at the screen. âIâm just not familiar with this robot. Just wait, Iâll take care of it soon.â
Shang Jin still laughed at him. âEven I could say that I could create a robot immediately but some people donât have much ability and still like to brag. If I were him, I would have long found a crack in the floor and hid in it.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her words made the people around her laugh, even Mayor Guo couldnât help but cover his mouth and snicker.
The younger researchers laughed even more. They had been lectured by Ed for several days, and now they finally found a chance to mock him back.
âMr. Smith, if you canât handle it, let me do it. Donât worry,â Tan Rou said. âI wonât do anything behind the scenes. You can check it again once I clear the command.â
Edâs face turned red and white. He was angry and ashamed, but he still refused to admit it. âI donât need your help. Iâll take care of it soon.â
âHmph, isnât this robot better than the one that you created?â Shang Jin asked with a smile.
Edâs face was tense and he did not speak for a long time. He looked at the robot and then at the beautiful girl in front of him. For the first time, he felt a strong sense of danger. He finally realized that this girl was very powerful. She might be even more powerful than him.
