403: The first and second place teams that missed the grand feast!

What?!!

Skema didn't come after all?!!

Upon hearing this news, not only were the viewers watching the live stream dumbfounded, but Bezos, standing on the stage, was equally stunned.

Didn't come?

Didn't come!

Didn't come?!!

Brother, this is currently the largest and most prestigious official awards ceremony in the world.

Out of over seven billion people worldwide, only these three were selected.

Even so, Skema unhesitatingly chose not to attend.

What kind of situation is it when a global awards ceremony, with such grand preparations, results in the winner not showing up?

At this moment, Bezos truly felt like a clown standing on stage.

He had fought tooth and nail, used every means to solicit votes, and expended countless amounts of energy and money, finally securing this third place with great difficulty.

Yet, Skema, who ranked second, didn't care at all.

He didn't even show up for the most important event, the awards ceremony. It's clear he didn't take this voting ceremony seriously at all.

For Skema, demonstrating the Cryogenic Storage technology at the previous meeting was probably just a convenient opportunity for publicity.

After all, so many viewers worldwide were watching and listening at the time.

This was much more effective than holding a separate product launch event.

Moreover, many industry bigwigs were also present, allowing him to casually showcase his new ideas, perhaps even getting feedback from others.

Just like when he demonstrated the Cryogenic Storage technology.

If he hadn't demonstrated Cryogenic Storage, Su Yu would never have committed to completing Brain-Computer Interface Technology research in ten days!

This, in fact, indirectly promoted the progress of current scientific and technological development.

In the live stream, the audience also erupted in boos!

They were sitting in front of their TVs and computers watching this live stream, eagerly anticipating Skema's dazzling appearance.

However, the big shot didn't show up, so naturally, many felt dissatisfied.

"Why didn't Mr. Skema come to this awards ceremony? I waited for five whole days!"

"Who didn't? With Mr. Skema not appearing, this awards ceremony instantly became dull."

"I was hoping Mr. Skema's research might have progressed further these past few days, successfully completing human trials. It seems quite difficult, though."

"After all, that's human trials, and unexpected situations are very likely to occur. Do you think everyone is a freak like Su Yu?"

"It seems that even Mr. Skema can't do it in a short time, so the research progress on Cryogenic Storage might really have to stop."

"Oh, I'm not thinking about anything else now. If Skema doesn't come, Mr. Su must come, right? He's our global number one, the most influential figure!"

"Mhm mhm mhm, although Mr. Su hasn't updated his status for several days, that's his usual style. After winning an award or going offline, he disappears for a while, and no one can find him. When he reappears, he'll bring out something new!"

Seeing the comfort from the old fan upstairs, everyone's hearts settled down.

This was indeed Su Yu's usual habit.

Moreover, this awards ceremony was held on his home turf, and he was ranked first in the world, so there was no reason for him not to come and accept an award.

Someone who got third place traveled thousands of miles, happily rushing to the scene to receive their award.

It shows that this award is globally recognized for its reputation.

This honor is not something just anyone can achieve.

However, today's awards ceremony was destined to disappoint global audiences.

Because besides Skema not visiting in person, Su Yu also didn't come!!

...Inside Kyoto China Hospital.

A young man, completely wrapped up from head to toe, sat quietly in the hospital corridor, waiting.

Although his attire was very conspicuous in the hospital corridor, and people passing him by had a 100% Return rate.

But because he was so thoroughly covered, no one recognized him.

Su Yu was originally sitting on a chair in the corridor, resting with his eyes closed, waiting for the doctor to call his number.

However, a few people nearby were watching a live stream on their phones, their faces animated and very excited.

Although Su Yu couldn't see the content of the live stream, he guessed from their discussion that they were probably watching the Global Most Influential Awards Ceremony.

Hmm, checking the time, it seemed to be today.

He heard one of them speak.

"This Bezos looks like a villain who got his way, bah! How disgusting! Doesn't he have any idea how he got this third place? And he's hypocritically thanking this and that."

"This guy cracks me up. He wants to surpass Skema and Su Yu? He's probably still dreaming."

"Huh?! Skema actually didn't come to accept the award today? He just sent a representative assistant, isn't that too disrespectful?"

"While it is a bit impolite, it's his freedom whether to come or not. I guess Old Ma lost interest after he found out he didn't get first place. He's probably diligently researching Cryogenic Storage right now."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's almost Brother Su's turn! Quiet, quiet!"

The discussion abruptly ceased.

The few of them craned their necks, eagerly leaning towards the phone screen to get a clear view of the live stream content.

They heard the Host's pleasant voice coming from the phone.

"According to the next sequence, the person who should be coming on stage to receive the award is the first-place winner of this year's Global Most Influential Figures list, Mr. Su Yu from China!"

"However, we have just received temporary news that Mr. Su Yu is unwell and therefore unable to attend the awards ceremony. Here, he extends his deepest apologies to all the viewers worldwide who have supported him and cast their precious votes!"

A great uproar ensued.

"What?! Brother Su isn't coming to the awards ceremony either? What's wrong with Brother Su?"

"He really won an award and isn't coming? Is the Streamer getting too big for his britches, or are we not holding our swords steady!"

"What's going on with the Streamer? It's an awards ceremony on his home turf, a great opportunity to save face, so why isn't he coming?"

"No way, I've been looking forward to this awards ceremony for five whole days! I didn't see Skema, I didn't see Su Yu, and only a big cheater who got third by buying votes showed up, I'm truly fed up!"

Center stage.

Bezos's face turned green.

He seriously suspected he had fallen into a trap.

At the Global Most Influential Awards Ceremony, the second-place winner didn't come, the first-place winner didn't come, but he, the third-place winner, showed up.

Isn't this intentionally messing with his mind?

In others' eyes, what did this make him?

During the voting, he was easily crushed, but at the awards ceremony, he hogged the center stage, as if saying, 'Who else but me?'

Fuck!!!

It's intentional!

Those two guys must have planned it in advance, it's intentional!!!
