The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

It would be such a waste if they didn't have a good platform to showcase their achievements.

This is good as it is, and comparing the results of both sides will further demonstrate the greatness of their achievements.

It's a bit unfair to this young man's efforts; all that manpower and resources was spent, only to end up promoting him instead.

Zhu Zhu thought for a while, then cast a slightly complicated look at Gu Ran, a look that contained indignation, approval, and sympathy.

Gu Ran naturally sensed the complex look in Zhu Zhu's eyes, which resembled a fan-shaped diagram. However, he couldn't read minds and couldn't understand Zhu Zhu's complicated inner thoughts. He just felt that this old professor was strange.

To maximize the impact of the demonstration, both parties agreed to come to the training ground of Lanxin University.

This place is usually used by students to practice martial arts; the venue is large enough and sturdy enough.

"Researcher Gu, are you really going to let us present our results first? If we do, I'm afraid that when you present yours later, no one will pay as much attention," Zhu Zhu kindly reminded him as she walked over.

He actually held Gu Ran in high regard, after all, even in terms of research ability alone, becoming a researcher at Lanxin University at such a young age was not an easy thing.

Moreover, if he truly possesses the legendary strength, cultivating a good relationship with him is also an important matter.

Even setting aside the relationship between the two cities, from a research perspective alone, Phoenix Flame University and their research group may need to find a strong person like Gu Ran in the future.

Therefore, he genuinely meant well and wasn't there to mock anyone.

Gu Ran could naturally tell the difference between good intentions and sarcasm, but the other party's attitude left him somewhat speechless.

Your well-intentioned reminder is almost as sarcastic as it sounds.

"Professor Zhu, don't worry. Even if my results are poor, they will give me face and keep watching." Gu Ran "explained" in accordance with his meaning.

In fact, he had a general understanding of the latest progress of Zhu Zhu's research group. Although it was said that there were finished products displayed some time ago, Gu Ran believed that the results were definitely not as mature as his own "finished products".

He asked Professor Zhu Zhu's group to give their presentation first, and his purpose was actually similar to that of Professor Zhu Zhu.

If his results are shown first, then later no one may be able to see Professor Zhu Zhu and his team's results.

Moreover, Gu Ran estimated that Professor Zhu Zhu might not be able to handle it after seeing it, and would suffer a great mental blow.

It must be unbearable to have your hard work, accumulated over so many years, completely surpassed by a young upstart.

After all, Professor Zhu Zhu doesn't seem to be very broad-minded.

Gu Ran thought for a moment and kindly reminded him, "Professor Zhu Zhu, my results are already very mature, and they should be quite amazing in some aspects, so you don't need to be too surprised when I demonstrate them later."

Professor Zhu Zhu was speechless.

Good grief, so this is considered a provocation, and this is a counterattack against me?

Young people really don't want to suffer any loss, even in the matter of language.

"Since you're so confident, I'll wait and see. Our results are quite good, so don't be surprised later."

Professor Zhu smiled slightly, still confident that his research results, the culmination of many years of hard work, were ahead of the Human Alliance.

He believed that the results of his research team's efforts over the years would be enough to surprise everyone present.

Gu Ran glanced at Professor Zhu Zhu and saw him smile. She thought that her reminder should have worked and that she shouldn't be too upset later.

He nodded: "Okay, Professor Zhu, please go first. There are already many audience members, so we can begin the demonstration."

Professor Zhu glanced at the crowd that had gathered and agreed, saying, "Indeed, now is the best time to showcase it."

......

Professor Zhu Zhu's research team clearly had some people who were good at creating hype; in order to maintain the mystery, the "achievements" they transported were wrapped in a thick layer of cloth.

Then, using a huge vehicle, they slowly drove into the training ground.

The crowd watched the "achievement" loaded onto the huge vehicle with great curiosity. When the "achievement" drove into the training ground, a cheer suddenly broke out.

Wow, this is huge!

"It's so big, I'm really curious what kind of thing it is."

"I see that Phoenix Flame University seems very confident. This big guy shouldn't be underestimated. Is Special Envoy Gu Ran being too arrogant?"

"I don't think so. That's Special Envoy Gu Ran, the man known as the one who defeated miracles. His strength is probably the highest in the Human Alliance right now. Even Captain Xiao Chaofeng said that he was no match for Special Envoy Gu Ran."

"Are you stupid? This is a competition of scientific research capabilities, not a competition of combat strength. If it were a competition of who is stronger in combat or who can fight better, and they went in person, I certainly wouldn't be worried about Special Envoy Gu Ran, because I would completely believe that Special Envoy Gu Ran would win. But this is a competition of scientific research capabilities. Although Special Envoy Gu Ran is very strong, his scientific research capabilities are definitely not that strong."

“You’re right. To be honest, I actually have a little hope that Special Envoy Gu Ran will lose, because he’s just too outstanding. If he’s this good even in a competition of scientific research ability, then he’s truly a perfect man. But from the perspective of Canglong City and Lanxin University, I still hope that Special Envoy Gu Ran can win. I feel a bit conflicted right now.”

"Now that you mention it, I also feel this contradiction. Envoy Gu Ran is indeed too outstanding. Not only does he have a perfect appearance, but his strength is also so strong. If his scientific research ability is also so strong, then he is truly... a god that people look up to."

When the "achievements" of Phoenix Flame University were transported to the center of the training ground by the vehicle, Professor Zhu Zhu walked to the side of the vehicle and said with a smile:

"This is a great attempt by humankind."

"It is also a great breakthrough for mankind."

“Everyone in our research team has poured their heart and soul into this; it’s like our child.”

"I can tell you that this is currently the only finished artificial mechanical exoskeleton in the Human Alliance that can perform motion demonstrations."

"With it, even ordinary people without martial arts skills or superpowers can become incredibly strong and easily lift huge objects that only martial artists and power-type superpower users can lift."

The audience was intrigued by Professor Zhu Zhu and couldn't wait to see what this big guy really looked like.

"Professor Zhu Zhu, hurry up and show us! Stop keeping us in suspense!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and show it to us! We want to see what it looks like!"

"Hurry up and bring it out! I can't wait!"

Professor Zhu smiled with satisfaction: "Don't rush, we'll begin right away!"

Professor Zhu, who had originally wanted to build up the atmosphere, felt that the atmosphere had reached its peak and it was time to make her presentation.

He whispered to his students to lift the cloth.

205. Shocking Lanxin University, Gu Ran's "big guy" is about to be released (4k)

Many people held their breath and widened their eyes. Those with superpowers or martial arts abilities who could fly or levitate took off directly to avoid being blocked from watching by the crowd.

What appeared before everyone was a humanoid mechanical creation full of metallic beauty. Under the sunlight, the metal reflected a dazzling luster, and every edge was full of texture and beauty.

It lay on the vehicle, standing over ten meters tall, and at a glance, it completely filled the large truck.

Its overall color scheme is red and white, with vibrant and extremely beautiful colors.

What's striking is that the mecha's hands aren't fist-shaped, but rather have a knife on the left and a sword on the right, creating a grotesque yet beautiful effect.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the latest achievement of our research team, which we have named 'Vermilion Bird Type 1'!"

Professor Zhu Zhu spread her arms wide, confidently showing off this mecha with excellent appearance to everyone.

"Wow! This trip was definitely worthwhile, it's so beautiful!"

"Indeed, it feels as beautiful as the Vermilion Bird. They must have had great confidence to call this finished product 'Vermilion Bird'."

The Vermilion Bird holds the same position in Vermilion Bird City as the Azure Dragon does in Azure Dragon City; both were guardian beasts that protected Vermilion Bird City through its initial difficult period.

In the end, they all became symbols of the main city they guarded, enjoying a lofty status.

Therefore, Professor Zhu Zhu's confidence in naming his research results "Vermilion Bird" naturally demonstrates his confidence and the expectations he places on them.

Otherwise, although one is free to name their research findings, if the result is too poor, not only will others object, but even the researcher himself would probably be embarrassed to offend the name "Vermilion Bird".

"Everyone, look, the moment is about to arrive, and we are about to witness the miracle of Starstone Technology!"

Professor Zhu gave a wink to a burly man who looked physically strong. The man immediately jumped into the vehicle, opened the mech's cabin door, and lay down inside.

The next moment, the mecha, which had been lying quietly, suddenly moved slightly.

First the arms, then the legs, and finally the torso.

The mecha, with its mechanical rhythm, slowly rose to its feet.

Seemingly afraid of damaging the vehicle, the mech did not stand up on the vehicle, but climbed down from the vehicle before standing upright.

Its enormous body was like a pillar supporting the sky, full of curves that would make any man's blood boil.

Many people fell in love with it just by looking at its appearance, their eyes shining as they gazed at it.

However, while the vast majority of people are attracted to good looks, there are also a few who value inner qualities more.

While they were amazed by the beauty of the mecha and deeply impressed by the power of the Star Stone technology it contained, they were more concerned about what such a huge thing could do now.

It's not difficult to manufacture a large, moving machine; there are plenty of large machines available nowadays.

However, creating such a large humanoid creature and making it move freely is quite difficult.

There were many researchers present, and they were all aware of the difficulty involved.

Professor Zhu glanced at the crowd and was quite pleased with their surprised expressions.

However, he soon noticed that two people's expressions were not quite right, unlike the shock shown by the others.

He knew both of them.

One of them was their "opponent," Gu Ran, who watched their results with complete calm, without the slightest surprise, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Too calculating.

Professor Zhu Zhu commented in his heart.

But the real excitement is yet to come, and this young man will surely be unable to contain his surprise.
