Chapter 6 — Going Through Books, Being Stupid, Still Studying Mind-Reading Gods

Midnight. While dreaming, I heard a rustling sound. I secretly opened my eyes and saw To Nha looking through my suitcase, trying to pick the lock. I smiled coldly in my heart: 「That lock was given to me, sister. Three layers of encryption, if you can open it, I'll take your name.」 Sure enough, she played with it all day and couldn't open it. I was so angry that I kicked my suitcase. Then took out my phone and took a photo of the suitcase. Mouth muttering: "scan code", "decode" something... Obviously intending to ask the system to hack the contents of the notebook! I turned over and pretended to talk in my sleep:

“Lam Tuong excavator technology… Shandong China looking for Lam Tuong…”

To Nha was startled and almost dropped the phone. Glared at me, then crawled into bed. The next morning. Enter the exam room. To Nha's spirit was unusually excited. Eyes dark but bright. Before entering the room, she stopped Giang Tu.

“Giang Tu, this time you will definitely win.

I will show you who is the real genius.” She took out some printed paper. I glanced over, my pupils constricted. It's my drawing! Even though it's just a small part, it contains the entire core structure. This system is so powerful that it can scan through suitcases? To Nha proudly glanced at me.

"Lam Hi, I understand your messy drawings. It's nothing terrible."

She wants to usurp my copyright? Giang Tu did not even look at the drawing. Just leisurely said:

“Just wait and see.”

Then pulled my hand and walked into the exam room. I'm a bit scared.

“Jiang Tu, she stole my design!”

“I know.”

"That's my passion! If she uses it to announce..."

“Don't worry.”

Giang Tu put his hand on my shoulder, his eyes steady.

“That's your brain matter. She can't steal it.

Moreover..." He leaned closer to me, smiling like a fox:

“I have revised your drawing.

The key parameters—I fix them all.” I'm shocked:

“When did you fix it?”

“Last time you slept drooling in the library.”

Me: “…” So it was my perfect design that he touched?

“I modified it into a self-destruct… mechanism.”

Giang Tu smiled like a Marvel villain.

“Just run the model, it will crash the system.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming farce.” I looked at Giang Tu and suddenly felt cold down my spine. This guy... is too sinister. But… I like it! In the exam room. The first part is the written exam. Really difficult topic. But I did it quite smoothly. To Nha also finished very quickly. She even submitted her assignment before me. When she goes out, she is like an arrogant peacock.

“This time it's definitely you the most.”

She spoke to the people around her.

“Furthermore, I also submitted a special research report,

about optimizing mechanical force in the machine arm. I think the judges will be very interested.” That's my blueprint! She really dared to... submit it? I looked at her death-seeking appearance and silently burned an incense stick for her. To Nha, you really... dug your own grave.

The afternoon is the defense - presentation part. In addition to written test scores, if candidates have additional research results, they can present them on the spot to add points. To Nha confidently stepped onto the stage. The big screen showed those drawings. The judges' eyes immediately lit up.

“Very clever design idea!”

“Using nonlinear mechanical principles to optimize the excavator boom, this is a PhD-level topic.”

To Nha was immersed in the applause.

“This is a design I completed independently, inspiration came from observing life living."

Lie but your face doesn't turn red and your heart doesn't beat. I sat under the stage, holding a handful of melon seeds (I don't know where to get them). Mentally muttering: 「Countdown… three, two, one…」 Sure enough, an elderly professor frowned.

“Wait, this torque formula… is there a parameter missing?”

To Nha was stunned. The system did not tell her this. She tried to stay calm:

“There is no shortage, this is a simplified algorithm that I created myself.”

“Simplified?”

The professor pushed his glasses.

“Based on this algorithm, when the load exceeds the threshold, the entire machine arm will break, or even rebound, causing injury. Is this an excavator or a catapult?”

The whole hall was buzzing. To Nha is really panicking.

“No way! I… I checked!”

“Then you can recalculate on the spot.”

The professor gave her a pen. To Nha held the pen, her hands shaking. She didn't understand the principles, it was all copied. At this moment, the system seemed to freeze and not respond. She stood on stage, cold sweat pouring out. Like a joke. At that moment, Giang Tu stood up.

“Professor, this drawing actually has the second half, but she didn't show it.”

To Nha seemed to have grabbed a stake to save her life.

“Yes! And the next part! I forgot to bring it!”

Giang Tu stepped onto the stage, holding an electronic pen. Make a few strokes and add to the formula. Then draw a force analysis diagram.

“If you add this,”

Giang Tu looked at me, his eyes full of laughter.

“Then this is no longer an excavator.”

“This is an… automatic stir-fry machine.”

The whole hall was silent. Then— burst out laughing.

“Fuck the stir fryer!”

“It turns out the mechanical arm is for turning the pan!”

“Ha ha ha, genius girl designed... a rice stir fryer!”

To Nha's face was red and purple like pig liver. Looking at the ridiculous structure on the screen, she finally understood— The parameters had been edited by Jiang Tu! From a heavy excavator, turned into a pile of iron that only knows how to... shake the pan.

“Giang Tu! You set me up!”
