22: Chapter 22 Experts trying to sabotage the event? I'll use AI to slap your face right here!

Su Che returned to the courtyard and kicked open the studio door.

"Damn it, everyone, they're all freaking sick!"

He paced back and forth in the room irritably; the day's mess of problems was churning in his mind like a pot of porridge.

His old man could drive someone right into a ditch.

Lin Waner had been asked a few questions by that ice-faced man and ran off crying.

Now, getting drinking water had become a problem for the whole village.

He rushed straight to that pile of "godly treasures" in the courtyard and grabbed that bizarre, complexly structured Anti-gravity water pump.

"Isn't it just pumping water? I'll pump an entire river out for you guys today!"

He dragged that "discarded cooling pump" into the studio, his eyes filled with madness.

This thing, which others saw as scrap metal, was, in his eyes, the perfect heart for the Anti-gravity water pump!

Just as he was about to start dismantling it, the system panel popped up in his mind again.

[System Prompt: Detected water source is untreated river water; direct consumption poses health risks. Suggest host redeem [Nano-scale Sediment Filter Cartridge Formula] to effectively filter impurities and microorganisms.]

[Skill points required for redemption: 50 points.]

Su Che glanced at his remaining 280 skill points and cursed.

"Damn thing, trying to scam me for money again!"

Despite the cursing, his body was very honest.

"Redeem!"

The next afternoon.

At Su Family Village Primary School, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

A black Santana with "Official Vehicle" license plates was parked in the center of the playground.

Two people got out of the car.

One, with a receding hairline and a beer belly, was Director Yang from the Tonghui County Education Bureau.

The other, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a crisp suit, looking like a stuffed shirt, was an "Educational Informatization Expert" named Zhao, whom Director Yang had invited from the city.

"Director Yang, is this it?"

Expert Zhao adjusted his glasses, looked at the "monster" full of steampunk style in the classroom, and looked disdainful.

Lin Waner stood protectively in front of the machine, like a hen guarding her chicks.

"Director Yang, Expert Zhao, this machine is really useful! The children's error rate on problems has dropped by forty percent compared to before!"

"Useful?" Expert Zhao sneered and pulled a document from his briefcase.

"Teacher Lin, I have here a safety assessment report from the Municipal Education Technology Center."

"This so-called 'smart printer' of yours has no production license, no 3C certification, and certainly no data security filing! It's nothing but a three-no product!"

He pointed at the machine, his voice suddenly rising.

"When it processes student data, will it upload it to some insecure servers? Will it leak students' personal privacy? Have you thought about these things?"

"For the sake of your so-called 'teaching achievements,' you've put the future of twenty-three children at huge risk. Teacher Lin, can you bear that responsibility?"

These words made Lin Waner's face turn pale, and she was at a loss.

The children in the classroom also sensed that something was wrong.

A little girl with pigtails stood up and said timidly.

"Uncle, Big Brother's machine didn't peek at us..."

"It just helped us find the problems we got wrong and gave us new ones..."

"What do children know!" Expert Zhao waved his hand impatiently.

Director Yang also chimed in: "Teacher Lin, Expert Zhao's concerns are valid. Safety first! We'll take this machine back for a comprehensive inspection. If there are no problems, we'll send it back to you."

That sounded nice.

Lin Waner knew that once this thing was taken away, it would never come back.

Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she stood firmly in front of the machine, refusing to give in.

"Brother! Brother! Oh no! Someone at school is trying to snatch your machine!"

Su Hao rushed in from outside, panting, and grabbed Su Che's arm.

Su Che had been fussing with it since last night and was currently staring blankly at the blueprints for the cooling pump. Hearing this, he frowned.

"Snatch my machine? Tired of living?"

He dropped the wrench in his hand and strode toward the school.

As soon as he reached the classroom door, he heard Expert Zhao's sarcastic voice coming from inside.

"Teacher Lin, I advise you not to be stubborn. It's not worth affecting your future for an amateur invention of unknown origin."

Su Che kicked open the classroom door.

"Who the hell is an amateur?"

He walked in with a dark face, stood beside Lin Waner, and protected her behind him.

"And who are you?" Expert Zhao looked at the young man covered in grease, looking like a mechanic, and frowned tightly.

"I am the owner of this machine." Su Che pointed to the "monster."

"Oh, so you were the one who made it." Expert Zhao suddenly realized, then immediately put on a condescending face.

"Young man, having a little cleverness is a good thing. But don't mistake ignorance for personality."

He waved the report in his hand.

"See this? It's an assessment report from the city! Your thing is non-compliant and unsafe! It must be sealed immediately and handed over to us for processing!"

Su Che didn't even look at the report, just stared at him coldly.

"Risk? This report of yours, which tries to fool people by using provincial averages, is what you call a risk!"

"What did you say?!" Expert Zhao's expression changed.

Su Che ignored him, walked straight to the machine, took a data cable out of his pocket, plugged it into his phone, and connected it to the machine.

"My AI can tell you right now that your so-called 'standards' are at least five years behind!"

His fingers operated quickly on the phone screen.

The machine's small screen lit up instantly, and countless data streams flashed by like a waterfall.

[Accessing the County Education Bureau's public database...]

[Comparing data...]

[Found report loophole: 'Urban-Rural Education Resource Difference Coefficient' cites old 2018 data, with a 42% deviation rate from current reality.]

[Found data contamination: 'Rural Student Privacy Security Awareness' samples taken from suburban-rural fringe areas, cannot represent remote mountainous areas.]

[Conclusion: This assessment report has no reference value for Su Family Village Primary School.]

Lines of cold characters, full of technical power, were clearly displayed on the screen.

Expert Zhao's face instantly turned from flushed to deathly pale.

Director Yang was also embarrassed and shocked. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the way he looked at Su Che changed completely.

"Expert... Expert Zhao, what... what is going on?"

"I..."

"Enough!" Director Yang slammed the table and roared at Expert Zhao, "You don't need to explain! Our county Education Bureau is a small temple; we can't accommodate a big Buddha like you!"

He turned his head toward Su Che, squeezing out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Comrade... Su Che! It was my work error! I apologize!"

He rubbed his hands, his attitude doing a 180-degree turn.

"Your technology is too important! On behalf of the county, I apply to cooperate with you! We will provide special funding to promote it to primary schools across the county!"

Su Che glanced at him and spoke indifferently.

"I don't want money."

"I only need you to guarantee that this thing can truly reach every child who needs it."

"Also, provide good training for village teachers like Teacher Lin."

Lin Waner stood behind him, looking at his broad back, watching him stand up to the leader in public for her and the children, and using irrefutable technology to leave that arrogant expert speechless.

Her heart was beating very fast.

...

Near evening, Su Che walked Lin Waner home.

The two walked on the ridge of the field; neither spoke, but the atmosphere was not awkward.

Just then, an elegant and powerful engine sound, completely out of place in this small mountain village, approached from afar.

A white BMW Mini, like an elegant flash of lightning, stopped steadily in front of the two.

The car door opened.

It was Jiang Yingxue, with her voluptuous figure, tiny waist, and stunning peach-like hips.

Today, she wore a sharp-cut black winter trench coat over a black tight-fitting sportswear outfit, the zipper pulled down to her chest, revealing a deep cleavage that was faintly visible, full of fatal temptation.

"Mr. Su, we meet again."

Jiang Yingxue took off her sunglasses, and those seductive eyes scanned Su Che and the Lin Waner beside him with great interest.

"This time, I've brought even greater sincerity."

She walked up to Su Che, and a rich milky scent mixed with the smell of high-end perfume drifted into Su Che's nostrils once again.

"Two billion is just the deposit."

Her voice was soft and sweet, and quite pleasant to listen to.

"Mr. Su, if we cooperate, we will call the shots in the entire Dragon Country's civilian communication market in the future."

"And you will be the king of this new era."

Su Che hadn't had time to speak yet.

"Rumble—!"

A roar of engines, so heavy that the earth began to tremble, rolled in from the direction of the village entrance like a landslide!

A dozen heavy trucks painted in military green camouflage formed a torrent of steel and drove directly into the village!

The vehicles were full of fully armed soldiers with grim expressions!

On the leading military off-road vehicle, a figure with a general's star on his shoulder pushed open the door and jumped down.

It was none other than General Zhang!

He immediately saw Su Che being blocked by Jiang Yingxue, and also saw the eye-catching BMW Mini.

"Damn it! I'm a step too late!"

General Zhang roared, his voice full of vigor, resounding throughout the entire Su Family Village.

"Grab that woman for me!"
