Chapter 706: Not Just a Comeback Against the Wind, We're Defying the Heavens!

It was a beautiful day, clear and crisp.

The sun in Shanghu was exceptionally bright, the sky was a vast expanse of blue without a single cloud. Colorful flags fluttered, and skirts danced as the girls' beautiful legs shimmered on the stage in the center of the arena. They wore playful and sexy racing cheerleader outfits, revealing their flat, fair midriffs.

Holding pompoms in both hands, they performed the dances that the audience loved to see.

Zheng Qian watched, utterly mesmerized.

He didn't come back to his senses until he felt his lower back pinched hard by someone.

"Shuangshuang... why, why are you pinching me?" Zheng Qian asked, aggrieved.

Jin Lu smiled, "It wasn't me, why would I pinch you?"

"Oh, I knew my Shuangshuang was the best."

Zheng Qian wrapped his arm around Jin Lu's slender waist and continued to gaze at the stage.

"Ouch!"

He felt sharp stabs of pain again.

Zheng Qian quickly looked to the other side, looking aggrievedly at Wei Rusi, "Sisi, why are you pinching me?"

Wei Rusi sneered, "It was me who pinched you, so what? Can you control your eyes? I had you calling out in pleasure all night yesterday, how are you so full of energy again today? This is a public place, pay attention! Why did you bring a 'tent' here?"

Zheng Qian's face flushed red; Wei Rusi had no filter.

This was a public place! How could she say anything!

Although it wasn't strictly a public place; it was the private box at the very top of the stands.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could clearly see every move on the track.

The room was equipped with over twenty televisions stacked together.

It could accurately capture every segment of the entire race.

The box price was reasonable, only 200,000 Jiuzhou coins.

It could accommodate up to ten people for an unmasked party.

"Hey... Xianxian, come here, sit on my lap, why go so far away?" Zheng Qian said reproachfully.

"Ouch!"

Who!? Who was it again!?

Zheng Qian scanned around, looking at Jin Lu one moment, then at Wei Rusi the next, unable to be certain.

"It was me!" Jin Lu snorted, biting her silver teeth, "Why did you insist on tormenting little sister Song Yaxian yesterday? Even though she is young, you can't do that! How can you just turn up the intensity on her like you do with Wei Rusi?"

Song Yaxian's pretty face flushed red, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Yesterday, a boss at the clubhouse had sent Jin Lu a few blue lobsters.

Zheng Qian insisted on calling Song Yaxian over to eat them together.

Unfortunately, Su Yuanshuang and Cui Ziqing had gone to Europe on business, so they couldn't enjoy them.

Originally, he had called Song Qingli over as well. Song Qingli had specifically gone to a beauty salon to redo herself, making herself crystal clear and melt-in-the-mouth. She had spent a fortune trying to make her entire body food-grade; it was a huge investment.

She even found a professional makeup artist to apply makeup for 15 hours and re-coordinated her entire outfit.

What was important was that she didn't have her "period" visiting that day.

It was simply too perfect!

Just when she was waiting for Zheng Qian to send a car to pick her up and head over with Song Yaxian.

Because she wore too little and had the air conditioning on for too long, she started having diarrhea.

She could only watch helplessly as her sister left by car, while she was left behind in the beauty salon as a jet sprayer.

Now...

Now she was lying weakly on the bed in the beauty salon, silently weeping.

"Uh... that, Professor Ji! Don't listen to them talking nonsense! I... I yesterday..."

Song Yaxian and Professor Ji Muxi were sitting on the other side of the sofa.

She hurriedly tried to explain with a blushing face.

Professor Ji Muxi waved her hand and adjusted her glasses, indicating she was not interested in this kind of relationship at all.

She was very frustrated now. After returning from the laboratory that day, she immediately found Zheng Qian and asked him to obediently hand over the contact information of his "friend." But after another round of brainwashing by Zheng Qian, she was fired up again, completely forgetting why she was looking for him.

She only remembered Zheng Qian patting his shoulders fiercely at the time, shouting that she was going to become the [World AI King].

It made Professor Ji Muxi feel hot-blooded, as if she would explode on the spot once her paper was published.

It wasn't until she returned home that she realized.

"Zheng Qian! I came here today to do my experimental report and observe the data, not to listen to your nonsense! You PUA'd me last time, and I forgot what I wanted to say! I will emphasize this again: you must give me your friend's contact information."

Professor Ji Muxi finally couldn't hold back, biting her silver teeth and spitting out the words.

Jin Lu and Wei Rusi looked at each other.

Did they sense something was wrong?

"That... um, my 'friend' really isn't convenient. You should at least tell me why you're looking for him, right?" Zheng Qian lit a cigarette, trying to continue to PUA Professor Ji Muxi, and said sternly, "He is a person who is wholeheartedly dedicated to the country, and he surely hopes that you are such a person as well! Professor Ji, when the World AI Competition is held, you will become famous..."

"Go to hell!"

Professor Ji Muxi's IQ finally regained the high ground today.

She crossed her arms, biting her lip and glaring at Zheng Qian, "Don't always change the subject. Tell me, who exactly is he! I... I don't have any other intentions, just... um, I just admire him! I want to express my respect in person!"

"That day, the words he wrote in the last paragraph of the paper, I really liked them."

Hmm? She, she's blushing?

Zheng Qian felt a chill. Holy crap, did he accidentally unlock Professor Ji Muxi's "new expression"? He had never seen Professor Ji Muxi look like this before. That touch of shyness, like a flower unable to withstand the cool breeze, how could she be as alluring as a young girl in love?

Wasn't that just a paragraph he wrote based on his own feelings? It actually had such an effect?

He quickly brought up the system to check the Favorability.

[ Professor Ji Muxi (Nickname Anmushi) Favorability: 30 points (???) ]

Very normal! Still so low!

Hmm? That's not right, why are there three question marks after the points?

[ Calling System Girl, why are there strange characters after Professor Anmushi's Favorability? ]

[ System: Unknown. ]

Even System Girl doesn't know?

Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have written that sentence. I really don't know how to explain it.

Just as he was thinking about how to PUA and change the subject, the host's voice suddenly came from the speakers.

Host: The temperature today is lower than in the past few days. I believe everyone will be able to achieve better results. Likewise, the competition will be more intense. I wish everyone success!

Host: Starting from the coastline in front of us, passing through mountains and rivers, and finally returning here.

Host: Although most of the track is plain and unremarkable, the difficulty of that mountain directly rivals Bayinbuluke! On the same mountainside, there are five U-shaped hairpin turns! That is the cruelest place, and also where the gap is widened!

Host: Back then, the famous driver Long Aotian made an operational error and spun twice on the fourth turn, only to be overtaken!

Accompanied by the host's crisp, sweet voice, it also meant that the race was about to begin.

Professor Ji Muxi decided not to argue with Zheng Qian for the time being.

Instead, she stared intently at the computer screen.

This battle is crucial. The opponent is not only Sion Stanley, but also the Autonomous Driving System of Shanghe International.

It is even more related to the paper she submitted.

Through the operations of Zheng Qian, General Manager Shang Xinlan, and others, this event, which originally did not have much attention, actually attracted a lot of global eyes. Not only car fans and ordinary people watching the fun, but also programmers, scientists, etc., all-inclusive.

Everyone is looking forward to who will finally win.

The Autonomous Driving System that everyone complains about every day.

Is it really possible to stand out?

"General Manager Shang Xinlan, first of all, thank you for the support you have provided to Jiuzhou drivers. On behalf of the vast number of car fans, I would like to express my most sincere respect to you! It is precisely because of patriotic enterprises like Shanghe International that we in Jiuzhou have the confidence to compete globally!"

Before the start, seeing that the warm-up was almost done, the host quickly gave the title sponsor a rainbow fart.

General Manager Shang Xinlan's mouth curved slightly, obviously very satisfied.

She just nodded, very proud.

"Also, thank you to the representative of the capital party beside me, she is the spokesperson for Qianlu Research Institute, Ms. Lin Qingyu. Qianlu Group sponsored 100 million Euros. Is this a gimmick to attract attention?"

"And as far as I know, Qianlu Research Institute itself started with a Semiconductor Chip production and research base."

"Is it really rational to rashly participate in a completely unrelated track? What I want to know more is, what confidence does Qianlu Research Institute have to stand out among so many excellent drivers? At the same time, with this world-class Autonomous Driving System developed by Shanghe International, how likely are you to make a comeback against the wind?"

The host's tone was very gentle and cute, but her words were full of belittling Qianlu Group.

As the spokesperson for Qianlu Group.

Lin Qingyu just replied lightly:

"Watch your wording. We are not looking for a comeback against the wind; we are going to defy heaven."
