Chapter 265 – “Is this really future technology though?” (2)

It was finally Gu Xi’s team’s team in the afternoon.

Standing in the wait area, Gu Yanlin patted Gu Xi on her shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous, Xixi. Your Big Brother is here.”

Gu Yanlin took the opportunity that afternoon to ask Gu Xi whether she was tricked by Sheng Xiuyan to join the Tianchuang Competition.

Gu Yanlin had expected that her answers would be “yes, she was tricked”, or that she was doing it for the experience, or that it was for pursuing her dreams in the technology research field…… He had not, however, expected Gu Xi’s answer to be “for the 300,000 yuan prize money.”

As much as he was surprised by Gu Xi’s reasoning, Gu Yanlin had still decided to give it his best to make his little sister’s dream come true. And that he would give her his portion of the prize money as well.

When the broadcast announced that team #67 to get ready, Gu Xi and the others went through a security door, through the elevating platform, and into the exhibition area.

The set up of the exhibition area and the console were exactly the same as what Gu Xi had seen the day before.

Nevertheless, to prevent the competitors from being disturbed by the audiences, a special layer of controllable glass had been added around the exhibition area.

At this moment in time, district B was shut down and, as shut, Gu Xi and the others could not see what was going on outside, nor could the audiences see what was going on inside.

Gu Yanlin had laid out a control chart yesterday basing on the layout of the console and the exhibition area.

All three of them had committed that to memory ahead of time. As such, as soon as they had entered into the exhibition area, all three of them could tend to their area without any delay.

They needed to link up their own equipment and programming with the console so as to ensure that the demonstration would go smoothly at the front end.

The connections on the console was quite complicated and, truth be told, Gu Xi didn’t really get all of it. Luckily, Gu Yanlin had labeled them all clearly and all Gu Xi needed to do was to follow the circles and numbering on the photo to connect them all.

“A-23……”

“Right here.”

Gu Xi was just about to look for the next piece when Sheng Xiuyan had already handed it over to her.

Gu Xi took the piece from him and also handed over to him one that belonged to his section.

With the two working together seamlessly, their speed of setting up increased further.

Initially, Gu Yanlin had expected that it would take them almost 13 minutes to fully complete their set up. In the end, it took them less than 7 minutes all said and done.

He should be happy but why wasn’t he?

Gu Yanlin mumbled to himself as he looked over at Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan.

The next second, Gu Yanlin pushed his way up and forced Sheng Xiuyan to one side.

Then also patted Gu Xi tenderly on her head at the same time.

“I’ll take care of the rest.”

Gu Yanlin took the opportunity to double check the set up and, with sufficient time remaining, he also tested them out twice.

Gu Xi, watching the very focused Gu Yanlin, her eyes beamed. She suddenly get why her Big Brother was so handsome.

Gu Xi took a photo of Gu Yanlin sneakily but was noticed by Gu Yanlin.

“Well? Have you noticed how handsome your brother is?” asked Gu Yanlin with a smile.

Looking at his complacent smile, Gu Xi shook her head seriously and said, “Hmm, no.”

That might have been what she said, but she still saved the photo stealthily.

Their 15 minutes of preparation time ended quickly.

The group before them had completed their presentation and Gu Xi and the others heard the announcement to go ahead in their area.

The indicator on the glass around them had gone from the red “OFF” to the green “ON.” At the same time, the display in the middle had also switched over to Gu Xi’s team.
