Chapter 800: The Robot Club From Country D Putting On Airs
The robot exhibition would be starting at 9 a.m. and it was currently 8:50 a.m.
The announcer began to broadcast the event.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the robot exhibition will start in ten minutes. Now, I will introduce the teams that are partic.i.p.ating in today’s exhibition. They are from…”
The audience listened to the broadcast while discussing it.
Finally, the announcer added. “Today is the robot exhibition of our country and we will be doing a live broadcast internationally. Everyone is welcome to make comments, but mindless and deliberate slander or curses will not be tolerated. If such actions are detected, do not blame the [Future Racing Club’s official website] for being rude.”
“Psst… this announcer is so arrogant.”
“Shouldn’t it be that it’s actually the boss of the [Futuristic Racing Club] that is arrogant?”
“Is the boss of [Futuristic Racing Club] Zi Yi?”
“Yes, it’s her.”
“It makes sense if she’s the boss. She has always been so arrogant.”
“So what if the G.o.ddess is a little arrogant? She has the capability and a.s.sets to back her up.”
“It’s really an international live broadcast. What the f*ck?! So many foreigners are scolding my G.o.ddess!”
“These people are really a joke. As to how capable my G.o.ddess is, everyone who visits [Futuristic] Bar will know of it. These people are so ignorant and without cla.s.s. If not because I have a high self-restraint I would have argued back.”
“I also have high self-restraint, but I must argue back with some of them!”
In just a few minutes’ time, many university students who came to see the exhibition had taken out their phones to openly argue back.
Soon, the comments section became lively.
The BE robot club members, who were having a cup of coffee in a cafe near the airport before getting ready to board the car that came to take them to the racing club, were also checking their phones.
“Tsk… this woman named Zi Yi is really arrogant. We have yet to reach the racing club and yet she dares to start the exhibition at 9 a.m.? Let her see how I get our fans to drown her in curses!” While Leo said that, he wrote a comment on his social media and published it.
[We just alighted from the plane and we are currently rus.h.i.+ng over to the robot exhibition venue. Even though it’s tiring, I feel that it’s worthwhile to be able to partic.i.p.ate in the exhibition together with the China teams.]
After Leo uploaded the post, he said to his other members, “Go and like my post.”
“Done.”
“Done.”
“Done.”
A few other members of the club also liked his post.
Soon, their robot club fans quickly checked out his post and there were a series of comments cheering for him and giving their blessings.
There were also other types of comments.
“You are all partic.i.p.ating in the exhibition on behalf of Country D. Let all those people witness how powerful the robots in Country D are.”
“It’s best to give them a scare so that they can learn their place.”
Soon, some people went to check out the time the robot exhibition started and they also found information on [Futuristic Racing Club] along with the announcement.
A few fans started to express their sympathy for the unfairness shown to the BE robot team.
“Is this how the capital treats their international friends? The BE robot club members have yet to arrive and so how dare they start the exhibition in advance?!”
“This is a national-level exhibition and to think that they are holding it in a racing club? Hmph, I guess there’s a reason why the robot industry in the capital is incapable of developing anything. They don’t even have a decent exhibition hall.”
“Our BE robot team brought their robots to partic.i.p.ate in the robot exhibition. Shouldn’t they be lining up to welcome our team?”
“Even if they don’t line up to welcome them, how dare they start without waiting?”
…
A few people from the BE robot team saw the comments and felt pleased.
“I don’t believe the capital would dare to start the robot exhibition on time even after seeing our official account.”
“If they dare to do so, our fans will flood them with curses.”
…
[Futuristic Racing Club]
Director Yang found Zi Yi and furrowed his eyebrows as he said, “Little Zi, members from the BE robot club had posted something on their official account. Did you see it?”
“I saw it.” Her manager robot had informed her of this.
“Are we really not going to wait? This would bring about a negative image to us, right?”
“What’s there to wait for? We didn’t invite these people. Not only did they come uninvited, but they also don’t even adhere to the most basic principle of being on time. Why should we wait for them?”
She glanced at the current time.
There were two more minutes before it was 9 a.m.
She suddenly took out her phone and captured a panoramic image of the interior of her club before uploading it on her social media account with a line of text.
[On the fourth day of the New Year, the designers of China’s robots pay a New Year’s greeting to our motherland, wis.h.i.+ng our motherland to become more and more prosperous!]
After Zi Yi posted this on her social media account, Director Yang took out his phone and was planning to be the first one to give her a like.
Only then, did he realize that he was the 15th in line.
Moreover, the ones who liked her post were all the higher-ups in the country.
His boss, Mr. Tang had even left her a message.
[The motherland has received your blessings. Little Zi, add oil!]
Director Yang looked up at Zi Yi and traces of surprise flashed past his eyes.
Zi Yi looked at him with a calm expression.
Director Yang opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. In the end, he looked at her post again and got a fright.
The number of likes on her post was so frightening that he subconsciously started counting in his heart. “One, ten, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, one hundred thousand!”
Director Tang looked up at her once again and the emotions of surprise in his eyes were even more prominent.”
“Little Zi, you have so many fans!”
Zi Yi shrugged her shoulders and checked the current time. It just so happened to be nine o’clock.
She said to the manager robot, “Start the broadcast.”
“Yes, Boss.”
“Ladies and gentlemen. The robot exhibition will be officially starting. Right now, we will s.h.i.+ft to the venue.”
Zi Yi and Director Yang headed inside together.
Director Yang checked his phone while he walked. Every single time he checked the increase in the number of likes on Zi Yi’s post, he got a shock.
Soon, both of them arrived at the group of people who were waiting for their turn to showcase their work.
Professor Dou hastily waved to them at the sight of Zi Yi.
Zi Yi walked over and called out to him, “Second Uncle.”
Professor Dou patted her on the shoulder. “Little Zi, good job.”
Just then, a few other professors said, “Little Zi, this move of yours is really good.”
Zi Yi’s lips curved upwards. “I’m only giving them a dose of their own medicine.”
The others laughed at her comment.
After they had their laugh, Professor Zhang said, “Student Zi, I heard that you will have a special exhibition shortly. Add Oil! I am optimistic about you.”
“Thank you.”
There were some people who made comments on the internet saying that Zi Yi’s racing club was not a suitable venue to hold the robot exhibition. However, before they even saw the robots entering the stage, the whole racing track began to change at a rapid speed.
A transparent light wall rose from the ground and soon a semi-circle, around the size of a gymnasium, appeared. The area behind the light wall became blurry.
Every obstacle on the race track slowly shrunk into the ground and in a mere five minutes’ time, the whole place turned into flat ground.
Different areas were marked on the ground and there were simple explanation boards in each area along with the features of the robots.
This type of exhibition far exceeded the requirements of a normal exhibition.
The feeling of advanced technology could be felt everywhere.
“Heaven’s! As expected of [Futuristic Racing Club]. This is the first time I’ve seen such a large venue that can transform. Most importantly, it is fully automated and there’s no manual labor needed!”
“Isn’t this too advanced?”
“There’s no place in the world that can automatically change its venue layout so quickly!”
“Those people who were saying that Zi Yi’s racing club is not suitable as a robot exhibition, why are you keeping silent right now? If you have the guts, continue making those comments!”
