Chapter 606: Chapter 606: A Robot Competition Without Robots?

Ling Qingxue’s robot "Xuese" had crippled the opposing smartphone robot.

However, given that there were no explicit rules on the field prohibiting fatal strikes to the opponent, this resulted in a situation where Xuese, despite having damaged the opposing smartphone robot, was not required to apologize or compensate.

And this was a severe blow to both the opposing smartphone robot and its owner.

Even for a student of Emperor University, creating a robot, especially a strong one, was no easy task.

Not to mention the effort required, more so was the burning of funds.

The cost of developing each robot was a significant sum.

Damage to any component could lead to irreparable consequences.

Ling Qingxue’s actions were not much different from cutting off someone else’s livelihood.

If she had apologized in time after her deed, she might still have earned some approval.

But her stubborn refusal to admit fault truly infuriated people even more.

Unfortunately, except for Shi Yaoguang, who had not yet shown his robot, there was no other robot on site capable of contending with Xuese.

There were many types of robots among the participants, but most had a jumble of skills.

They were not specifically designed to turn robots into fighters.

Therefore, when facing Ling Qingxue, this shortcoming became evident.

Ling Qingxue glanced at the contestants and their robots around her and then asked, "Does anyone else wish to spar with my Xuese?"

The crowd exchanged glances before tacitly shifting their gaze away.

They certainly held grudges against Ling Qingxue, but...

If they did not express it, they could temporarily preserve themselves.

Rather than clashing with Ling Qingxue now and becoming her targeted enemy, everyone uniformly chose the latter option.

First safeguard themselves, then consider other things.

Ling Qingxue certainly knew what they were thinking, but...

Today, since she had already attacked someone else’s robot, she had no intention of playing nice.

Her goal was to create a sensation in the PK competition.

She wanted everyone to know that compared to the merely beautiful Shi Yaoguang, she, Ling Qingxue, was the true goddess!

Others naturally were unaware of Ling Qingxue’s thoughts.

What they saw was Ling Qingxue’s dominating and arrogant demeanor.

This disillusioned those who initially had a favorable impression of her.

Originally, they thought a goddess who appeared cold on the outside would actually be very nice.

Unexpectedly, she was as cold-hearted as her exterior suggested.

Such a heartless woman was truly hard to like.

...

Ling Qingxue had no clue about what the others were thinking, and even if she knew, she would not care.

In the past, she had worked hard to cultivate a diligent image in front of others, all to gain their recognition.

But now, she no longer thought that way.

The recognition of others meant nothing to her.

Only from the absolute highest position could one possess the greatest power.

And what she wanted was that power.

Compared to ultimate success, being praised by others seemed insignificant.

Ling Qingxue believed she had grasped the true secret to success.

Little did she know, there’s a saying...

"The same water that supports the ship can also capsize it."

She only thought about standing at the highest position, from where she could look down on all living beings.

But she never considered whether these people would be willing to look up to her.

...

Seeing that no one responded, Ling Qingxue couldn’t help feeling smug.

With pride written all over his face, he still kept saying "courteous" words, "Do you all not wish to spar with my Xuese anymore?"

"I had thought you wouldn’t mind that Xuese is just a domestic robot."

"If you feel that sparring with my Xuese and winning would lack honor, then there’s nothing I can do about it..."

While his mouth said they feared winning would lack honor, his face clearly said, "I just knew you wouldn’t dare compete with my Xuese, because you’re afraid of losing."

The onlookers were all holding back their irritation.

But they couldn’t directly say so.

After having "tormented" the competitors, Ling Qingxue shifted her gaze onto Shi Yaoguang.

"Junior sister, if I remember correctly, you also entered the robot competition, didn’t you?"

That question was totally unnecessary.

If Shi Yaoguang hadn’t entered the competition, how could she possibly be standing on the stage?

With that one question, Ling Qingxue was only trying to humiliate Shi Yaoguang.

To achieve the purpose of making her feel embarrassed.

However...

Shi Yaoguang certainly wouldn’t feel embarrassed just because of her words.

She looked at Ling Qingxue with a meaningful expression and said, "You want to spar with my Shi Guang?"

"Yes," Ling Qingxue admitted directly, with a tone of feigned helplessness, "No one else is willing to compete with my Xuese. I have no choice but to seek you out."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a look of curiosity, "Junior sister, since you’ve come to participate in the robot competition, surely you won’t be without a robot, right?"

Indeed.

Up until now, Shi Yaoguang’s robot Shi Guang had not yet made an appearance.

Even though the host had given an extravagant introduction.

But until this moment, no one had even caught a glimpse of Shi Yaoguang’s robot Shi Guang.

Those who disliked Ling Qingxue straightened their spines when they saw her provoke Shi Yaoguang.

They were all prepared for what was to come.

There was going to be a good show.

Thinking this, the crowd looked at Shi Yaoguang with eager anticipation.

Whether Shi Yaoguang could produce a robot or not, it would be a sensation.

Keep in mind, Shi Yaoguang was now a film queen.

Expecting a film queen to excel, that’s a tall order indeed.

After all, a person only has so much energy.

If she spent most of her time perfecting her acting, naturally her studies would fall behind.

Not to mention developing a robot while becoming a film queen.

Of course, there were also people who supported Shi Yaoguang.

Before the competition started, Shi Yaoguang had said that she intended to take one of the top three spots.

Shi Yaoguang wanted to secure the top three, and she had entered just three events.

To say she hadn’t come prepared, who would believe that?

Surely she couldn’t think she was too famous and didn’t want a sparkling star path, right?

Everyone had different thoughts, but under the scrutiny of all, Shi Yaoguang snapped her fingers.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

No sound.

This made Ling Qingxue, who was constantly vigilant against what Shi Yaoguang might do, burst into laughter, "Junior sister, is this how you plan to take the top three spots? Showing up to a robot competition without even a robot, isn’t that a joke?"

While she spoke, she mocked, "I can actually understand your feelings, junior sister. After all, you’re a top celebrity film queen, and it’s only natural you would be unwilling to lose to me."

"I understand the sentiment behind your claim that you could dominate the top three spots. All you need to do is tell everyone it was a misunderstanding, and I believe everyone will be sympathetic towards you."
