Chapter 622: Once Sister 347 hooks her lips, things get complicated...

Beijing University was nearing final exams, and the FB team was preparing for the semi-finals.

Xia Ye devoted most of her energy to the robotics competition; all parts of the robot were ready and required extensive tuning.

How to assemble the various parts to be both sturdy and not impede movement was a piece of knowledge.

At this point, they tapped into the long-lost Mechanical Techniques of their ancestors.

There was still a week before the final exams, and Qi Ran made sure to take Xia Ye to the exam venue every day—there was no way she would mess up this time.

In the end, the results held no suspense, at least that’s what Professor Tao said while summarizing the grades: "This exam was quite difficult. Everyone should review their work. The answers will be posted on the educational system in a week. Of course, you can also just ask Xia Ye for them; her paper is the correct answer."

Student: "..."

After Professor Tao stepped out of the classroom, he stepped back in and added, "If her paper doesn’t match the answer key, then... it’s the answer key that’s printed wrong."

Student: "..."

Countless envious gazes followed her, and Xia Ye touched the tip of her nose, "Ten minutes, I’ll explain any problems for you."

The next second, the sound of chairs scraping on the floor jostled for priority.

"Me first! Campus beauty, how did you analyze this experiment?"

"Why should you go first! My question is quick to explain, I’m first!"

"Campus beauty! Can you explain the other subjects too?"

Before Qi Ran had a chance to open a book, Xia Ye was already surrounded by a wall of people.

In early July, Beijing University officially started summer vacation.

There were only ten days left until the finals of the robotics competition.

Xia Ye spent every day with her laptop, whether at the artificial intelligence club, at the Xia Family’s home, or the Jiang Family’s.

This laptop was a recent gift from Jiang Xuan; it looked no different from others, but when it ran memory-intensive complex programs, the smooth performance was striking.

Medicine, botany, swordsmanship, ancient flute, literature... these were skills known to their ancestors and posed no challenge to her.

However, this time in the robotics competition, besides the hardware assembly, her main contribution was in programming, a field she had recently studied—and clearly, she found it more interesting.

That day, Jiang Xuan took Xia Ye to the Jiang home. Before lunch began, Jiang Yunyang was sprawling in Jiang Xiaohua’s oversized baby crib napping, Jiang Xuan was busy with work in the study, and before closing the door, he asked Jiang Jiujue to keep Xia Ye company in the living room so she wouldn’t get bored.

Xia Ye sat directly on the living room’s large carpet, placing her laptop on her lap, with the fully assembled robot standing beside her.

She was wearing glasses, the sound of her typing crisp and clear.

Jiang Jiujue circled the robot, which had a face made of high-definition screens and well-articulated limbs, a few times with his hands behind his back.

There she goes with her Demon Art again.

Xia Ye typed a string of English into the program and hit the Enter key. Accompanied by the system prompt sound, the robot’s facial screen lit up, and two blue lines formed into circles—these were the robot’s big eyes.

Jiang Jiujue took a wary step back, then watched the robot turn its head to him, raise its hand, and greeted him in a flat, robotic voice, "Hi, old chap."

Jiang Jiujue:...

He suppressed the urge to smash it with a cane.

Sitting aside, he didn’t fuss with the robot but asked Xia Ye, "Why bother with all this, wouldn’t it be easier to use some of your Demon Art?"

Xia Ye glanced at him and smiled slyly, "What would be the fun in that? That’s not ambitious."

She checked the robot’s connections and parts, finally focusing on the robot’s hand that had opened to wave hello.

They had used steel pellets for the finger joints, which were quite sufficient for a service robot; however, the ancestors insisted on perfection, and she recalled her family owned much harder materials that could be used as substitutes...

The official recording of the robotics competition grand finals was on a Saturday and broadcast live at 8 p.m. on the education channel’s prime time slot.

China pays great attention to the education of teenagers and university students. Even though a technology competition doesn’t naturally attract as much traffic as esports, it still received strong support from the television station.

Advertisements for the grand finals had been circulating on CCTV channels for weeks, and with Xia Ye’s participation, the viewership for tonight’s live broadcast was not to be underestimated.

The three teams entering the finals were from Beijing University, A University, and East China University of Science and Technology.

The three teams, each in their respective uniforms, stood in three square formations.

The television studio’s setting was solemn; the emcee, in a lotus-pink suit, had a festive smile and standard Mandarin. All was quite different from an esports competition.
