Ninth class citizen

Chapter 221 Throwing a Boomerang

Lu Youkeng's voice was so excited that he almost flew up, but in the eyes of his peers from other provinces, he seemed quite frivolous.

"He's just a novice at level 2, why are you showing off?"

"It's like everyone has seen a second-level materials expert. Can this second-level expert compare with Mao Zizi from Shiloh University? Can he compare with Tang Te from Anji Xingwu?"

"That's right. This is the first time I've heard of a newcomer from a fake university like Hilo Xinghua. If it were someone else, I'd be embarrassed to mention it."

"It's not easy to get the second-level certification, but if she was really professional, she wouldn't have chosen the all-rounder track - aren't there people who know a little bit of everything and are not good at anything?"

Lu Youkeng frowned, said a few more words reluctantly, and asked the audience to watch the video of the contestants entering the venue. He turned off the microphone and looked at the few people who had been acting weird just now.

They are all in the same circle and are all expert reporters on the event. Who doesn’t know who?
When “old friends” meet, eyes turn red and throats become more itchy.

"Kang Xiaogui, your Lusim Province doesn't have a single second-level gene optimizer this year - you're jealous, aren't you? And you're saying I'm showing off. If it were you, I'm afraid you'd be wagging your tail to the sky!"

"And old Zach, you've been soaking in water every day in Changxia Province and your body has become moldy. Why do your words smell damp? What do you mean by being unskilled in everything? You only selected a first-class botanist in the entire province, and you still have the nerve to talk about specialization here!"

"Hey, Lao Lu, what's wrong with you? Everyone is busy broadcasting, don't make trouble!" Another person saw him turn around with full of fighting power and was about to attack him, so he quickly opened the noise-reducing ion barrier. Unfortunately, some people did not agree to let him continue the live broadcast.

Lu Youkeng pulled him away from the camera and said, "Zhao Bushi, stop pretending! Although Haydn and Nan Rong from our province may not be as good as Mao Zizi from Hilo University, they are definitely better than Tang Te from your Anji Province!"

"You will be disappointed." Zhao Bushi simply crossed his arms and said, "Tang Te has been stuck at the second level for more than a year. Not only is the purity of the extracted liquid high, but he is also very smart in synthesizing medicines - you two freshmen can't compare to him at all!"

"Are you kidding?" Lu Youkeng curled his lips and said sarcastically, "A second-level material expert can synthesize medicine? Are you dreaming?"

Not only Lu Youkeng, but also the two people who had been scolded by him and had no time to retort also came up and said, "If Zhao Bushi could still tell the truth, he would have changed his name to Zhao Laoshi long ago!"

"No, Zhao Shi is my real name." No one paid any attention to Zhao Bushi's rebuttal.

"Not to mention the second level, even a third level purifier may not be able to successfully synthesize a potion. Is your Tang Te the reincarnation of Master Potter?" Kang Xiaokui sneered.

"In my opinion, it's just a gimmick." Old Zack said seriously, "We need gimmicks in our business, but we also need time, place and occasion. The competition has just started. If we arouse the interest of the audience and then experience disappointment, the ratings will inevitably drop. Don't blame us old friends for not reminding you then."

Zhao Bushi showed a look of annoyance: "Do you know what a frog in a well means? It's easy to be like that if you don't have much experience. You have also seen the two Campbells on the rostrum today, right? Do you know what level of potions they started to synthesize?"

He held out his index finger alone: "First level!"

"They were able to successfully synthesize potions when they were at the first level! Our province's Conte can't compare to them, but they have indeed succeeded several times and even auctioned them in our Anji Province. Otherwise, how can I be so sure?"

After he said this, the other three all stopped talking and no longer had the interest to criticize each other.

"He is lucky." Lu Youkeng turned back to his own territory, took the headset handed to him by his young colleague, and rolled his eyes fiercely.

Jealousy can make a person look completely different! It can make a boat sink to the bottom of the sea and never see the light of day again!

"You have all seen the choices made by the contestants just now." The emotionless live broadcast machine Lu Youkeng said, "Every league has a serious ceremony to let everyone choose, but the contestants are all at the first or second level. Except for a few contestants who are trying to attract attention, normal people will directly choose the original liquid extraction."

When he said this, he saw his colleague opposite him frowning and waving at him, as if he wanted to remind him of something.

Lu Youkeng knew that this colleague had always been a coward, and he probably wanted him to improve his manners and not deliberately belittle contestants from other provinces during the live broadcast, so as to avoid an accident where the live broadcast would go wrong after the other party won, and he would become the target of criticism and ridicule from the audience.

But he just has such a bad temper that he can't stand others doing well, and he has no intention of changing at all.

"Next, let's take a look at the group list. As expected, the vast majority of contestants chose to extract the original liquid. Only two contestants were unwilling to be left out and decided to challenge the synthesis of the medicine. But forgive me for being frank, we must be down-to-earth in everything we do. Can you run before you learn to walk?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the colleague opposite him stopped waving anxiously and looked as pale as death.

He pointed a few times in front of him with a look of despair, and several ultra-small void screens popped up in front of Lu Youkeng.

Because there are too many reporters present today and the organizing committee is not fully prepared, it was not until now that the multi-window mode was successfully configured to facilitate Lu Youkeng to keep an eye on all directions and speak eloquently.

I just didn't expect that he, even at his age, still likes to play boomerangs.

"Very good." Lu Youkeng nodded to his colleague with satisfaction:

"Now that the organizing committee has released the list, let's take a look at these two very confident, even arrogant contestants: Tang Te, a second-level material expert from Anji Xingwu University! And Nan Rong from Xiluo Xinghua?"

When reading the following names, Lu Youkeng's voice became lower and lower.

He could hardly believe his eyes. The colleague opposite him who was responsible for assisting the live broadcast completely covered his face with his hands.

In front of the contestants from other provinces, the contestants from our province actually took the initiative to look for Yin and Yang.

Lu Youkeng was puzzled. Why didn't he just do the reliable extraction of the original liquid and instead tried to challenge the synthesis?

You should know that the original liquid can be extracted to get one point, but if the medicine fails, there is no step-by-step extraction and you will get nothing.

After all, you are still too young and not calm at all.

Lu Youkeng was experienced after all, and he immediately resumed his normal speaking speed without dwelling on the matter: "The competition is about to begin, let us wish them good results!"

The Pan-Hilo inter-school league, held every four years, has always been widely watched by citizens on the planet. Not only do the unemployed, who make up 80% of the population, watch it, but those who are working also watch it with great interest.

Zhang Lai was one of them. He had finished his one-week tutoring and returned to the Gene Research Institute in Xingfu.

He had been quite anxious these days because the owner of that very reliable pharmacy was adamant and refused to sell the high-purity concentrate anymore, no matter how much he begged.

This state is certainly not suitable for work, but there is no problem in watching the competition and testing the results of the coaching in the past few days.
