Chapter 428 -428: Starting in the Group of Death

The competition venue was set up in a very cool manner, brimming with a high-tech vibe.

Right in the center was a stage, surrounded by the seating areas for the audience.

Qiao Yun and the others arrived early backstage to prepare.

Even before it started, Lu Shiran was so nervous that his hands trembled, checking the performance of the Tyrannosaurus robot now and then.

This made Yu Fan and Cheng Yi nervous as well.

“Sis, don’t be nervous,” Lu Shiran tried to soothe Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun calmly responded, “I’m not nervous.”

“Oh, then it’s just me who’s nervous,” Lu Shiran swallowed hard, his eyes darting around, looking at the differently-shaped robots from other teams, his spirit highly strung.

The man who had mocked them the day before glanced at him as he passed by, “Falling apart before it even starts? Don’t cry like a little lord if you lose later.”

Lu Shiran snorted disdainfully, “Just make sure you don’t wet your pants if you lose.”

In an instant, when their eyes met, sparks flew.

“Come here and discuss the strategy.”

He Jianyan interrupted their provocation.

She looked at Lu Shiran, speaking to him for the first time in a competition, “You are quite brave to enter the competition with just a little knowledge.”

Lu Shiran half-closed his eyes, uninterestedly retorted, “None of your business.”

He Jianyan frowned and disdainfully said, “Such no manners!”

After that, she turned away without wanting to deal with Lu Shiran anymore.

“Bad luck. How could I run into her?” Lu Shiran didn’t want to encounter his former forced blind date.

“I’ll step out for a bit,” Qiao Yun put away her phone and stood up. “A friend has come.”

Lu Shiran asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No need.” She wasn’t a child; she didn’t need anyone with her.

Qiao Yun walked to the entrance of the venue and saw Li Miao and the tall, dignified Li Hanzhou from a distance.

She raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

When she reached Li Hanzhou, Qiao Yun looked up and stared at him without blinking.

Li Hanzhou chuckled, “What’s up?”

“Why are you here?”

Li Hanzhou casually replied, “Here to cheer for you. Not welcome?”

“Not at all.” Actually, Qiao Yun was quite happy that he had come, even though her face still showed no expression.

Seeing her so composed, Li Hanzhou deliberately teased her, “Do you need a hug for encouragement?”

He was joking, yet he didn’t expect Qiao Yun to actually open her arms.

Li Hanzhou was stunned.

“Not hugging?” Qiao Yun asked with a puzzled look.

Li Hanzhou decisively bent down and wrapped his arms around Qiao Yun’s petite body, hugging her lightly.

Fearing he might scare Qiao Yun away, he didn’t dare hold the hug too long.

After letting go, he lightly touched the top of Qiao Yun’s head, his voice softer than ever, “Good luck.”

“Yeah.” Qiao Yun plainly said, “We will win.”

She had agreed to Li Hanzhou’s hug.

It was because backstage, all the contestants were hugging each other to give encouragement and support.

So when Li Hanzhou made the offer, she didn’t refuse.

In her understanding, this was basic protocol.

Li Miao’s teeth were almost sore; she had never seen her brother be so gentle before. It really scared the old man to death.

“Qiaoqiao, I will also cheer for you. Look, I even brought a light sign,”

Li Miao pulled out a light sign from her backpack, prominently displaying Qiao Yun’s name.

Qiao Yun hadn’t been looking forward to the competition much, but suddenly feeling that having someone there to cheer for her in person made it seem rather nice to participate.

Qiao Yun had left Li Miao a VIP area to watch the game, but Li Miao didn’t want it; she wanted to sit in the front row in order to see clearly.

Li Hanzhou didn’t even glance at the VIP area, took the ticket, and walked to the front row.

Seeing this, Qiao Yun didn’t say anything else.

She didn’t talk to them for long and went back backstage.

…

Every year’s contest would have an online broadcast, and this time was no exception.

Initially, it was just some tech enthusiasts discussing who was impressive this time and who they were rooting for.

Suddenly, the style changed, and a barrage full of screams exploded onto the screen.

[Came for baby’s sister, has sister come out yet?]

[Why haven’t I seen sister?]

[What kind of contest is this? It looks tough, sister, you have to cheer up.]

The tech enthusiasts were baffled, until someone realized that the Star Cup was trending.

It all started when Lu Zhanxing retweeted the official Star Cup account, cheering for Qiao Yun.

When the fans saw that Sister Lu was participating in such a sophisticated contest, they immediately shared the post.

Some passersby who didn’t know about the Star Cup found out and clicked on the livestream link out of curiosity.

The contest hadn’t started yet, but the online viewers had already reached one million.

The enthusiasm in the comments peaked after Qiao Yun appeared.

Before the contest started, they would let all the teams show up on stage and then draw lots to see who they would compete against.

Lu Shiran, Yu Fan, and Cheng Xue, after all, were young masters bred from wealthy households; their looks and demeanor were top-notch.

Qiao Yun, although dressed in low-key casual wear, still couldn’t hide her delicate beauty.

[Finally seeing sister again, so adorable aaaah.]

[Who are the people on sister’s team? I need to know all their details within three minutes.]

[Waiting for sister to win the prize; you can definitely do it.]

The overwhelming support suppressed discussions about other teams, angering the tech enthusiasts.

[Please keep fandoms away from the tech community; is this a place you can reach?]

[A bunch of tech-blind, understand the competition? Don’t pollute the tech community!]

[Winning a prize? What a daydream, that Qiao Yun, never heard of her before, only famous because she has a celebrity brother.]

[Waiting for them to die in one round.]

The fans saw how their actions turned others against them and disciplined themselves not to flood the comments anymore.

But seeing them start to slander and verbally abuse Qiao Yun’s team, they felt both angry and anxious.

They now just hoped that sister wouldn’t lose too badly; otherwise, it would be too pitiful. She hardly got to participate in a contest and had to face ridicule.

Qiao Yun’s team was too young, and they looked very rich, so the tech enthusiasts thought these young masters were just there to play.

They were not pleased, thinking they didn’t respect the tech community.

Meanwhile, the drawing of lots had finished.

Lu Shiran, with a nervous and excited heart, looked.

Well, they would face adversaries right from the start, encountering Qing University’s team, which is He Jianyan’s team.

Instantly, the tech enthusiasts went crazy.

[They’re doomed! Qing University’s team is currently the most formidable in the same age group nationwide!]

[Although I don’t favor the young masters either, but this is very unlucky, entering a death group from the start.]

The fans who came to support Qiao Yun were clueless, not understanding why the tech enthusiasts were so excited.

Not until someone in the comments clarified the various achievements of the Qing University team.

Third place in the national science competition, having also participated in international contests; all the laurels on them left the fans dumbfounded.

This…

Was seriously too strong.
