90: Chatting

His words caught the attention of those nearby, who also wanted to try it out, so the academy's teacher immediately took out the remaining scissors from the cards and handed them to the nearby judges.

“It’s truly excellent; the pivot point of these scissors allows for a ‘pull-cut effect’.”

“Look, the item being cut will be guided downwards by the pivot point. This innovation is very useful.”

“The handle of these scissors also has something special; it’s asymmetrical and fits our palm perfectly, which can improve our cutting efficiency.”

“Mm-hmm, I think the material of the inner ring of the handle is very good, soft yet elastic. Even with prolonged use, hands won’t easily get tired or injured. There are also soft pads in the middle to reduce impact.”

The judges were also very professional, immediately discovering the advantages of these scissors.

Listening to the judges’ explanations, the accompanying reporters and corporate representatives’ eyes also lit up, and they jotted down the work’s serial number—No. 32—in their notebooks.

For works highly praised by these judges, reporters could write about them in newspapers, while corporate representatives could purchase the copyright from the other party.

Of course, the teachers sent by each academy weren't foolish; they would all wait until after the competition to discuss copyright sales.

If the product won an award, they could then negotiate for a higher copyright fee… The judges were still strolling and scoring in the East District.

Meanwhile, at the Morning Star Elementary Academy exhibition hall, everyone was already bored and starting to guess how many first, second, and third prizes the academy’s cardss would win this time. As for the Innovation Award, the consolation prize, there was no guessing, as too many people won that award.

“I guess our academy should get 2 first prizes, 5 second prizes, and 20 third prizes, right? What do you all think?” Liu Zhitao asked, her eyes looking inquiringly at the team leader, Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran had participated many times, so he should have some understanding of these matters.

“I don’t know either, but Xu Bai, the cards you and Ji Yun made together will definitely win a first prize. Last year, our academy’s results weren’t particularly good; we didn’t get any first prizes, 2 people got second prizes, and 8 people got third prizes.”

“The year before last, the results were good: 1 person got a first prize, 8 people got second prizes, and 14 people got third prizes.”

Yang Haoran shook his head, unable to be certain, as competition results could fluctuate quite a bit. Although he thought Xu Bai’s group’s cards could win a first prize, he couldn’t guarantee whether another cards could also win a first prize.

“That few?” “That few?” Liu Zhitao and Wang Lang were both a little surprised by this.

After all, Morning Star Elementary Academy’s ranking among elementary academies was considered upper-middle, and they had thought that many people from the academy would win awards.

“Then is our academy’s overall ranking in the competition not particularly good?”

Ji Yun was also very puzzled. Previously, the students she taught were still learning basic knowledge and only knew how to make basic cardss by following textbooks, so no one participated in this major competition, and she didn’t pay attention to it. This year, her students were finally capable of participating in this competition, so she wasn’t too familiar with the academy’s past results.

“Our academy’s overall competition ranking is still quite good; many academies don’t have anyone winning first or second prizes, only getting a few third prizes and consolation prizes.”

Wang Lang nodded.

“Oh, I see. Then how many first prizes are there each time?”
