Chapter 175: Black-box operation
Science and Technology Competition Waiting Area.
In the communication with Bai Lun, Link finally understood why they were so miserable, and the genetic drugs they compared to were all such perverted things!
Because.
There is no other more suitable potion to compare with!
In the gene pharmacy competition area, the drugs with a little quality have basically won the championship of the previous science and technology competitions, and those who did not win the championship are some stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
Using those stinky fish and rotten shrimp as a comparison object is obviously unfair to the players in other categories.
Therefore.
There is only one way to go, using the previous champion potions.
"This has fallen into a vicious circle, the rules of the main competition are not as changeable as the rules of the audition, and the first round of the main competition cannot escape the set of rules for comparing similar works."
Bai Lun sighed, "As long as this rule exists, the gene medicine area will never come out, and the comparisons are made by some top champion works, so how can the gene medicine survive the first round of the main competition?" ”
"To be honest, if I don't enter the main competition this time, I will have to consider changing regions in next year's science and technology competition, and there is really no future for research potions."
Bai Lun was full of emotion.
As for Bai Lun's words, Link just smiled in agreement and did not express any opinions.
Essentially, he wasn't the same person as the other contestants.
Other contestants came to participate in the competition in order to win the championship and then enter the top scientific research group in the Stan continent to make a name for themselves!
Unlike him, his purpose is very simple, just to participate in the competition and then get some exposure!
Winner of the tech competition?
It's just a little more exposed, and for Link, it's just the icing on the cake, which is dispensable.
Because of this mentality, he can be said to be the most relaxed of all the players present.
The other contestants are either nervously debugging their own works, or they are looking at similar works compared to their own works with their bare wrists with a solemn face to see how sure they are of winning.
Only Link, not only didn't care about his own works, but he didn't even bother to study similar works compared to himself, if it weren't for the fact that the impact was not good, plus he didn't need sleep as a zombie, he would probably have fallen asleep here.
"Did you give up?"
Bai Lun on the side watched Link's behavior.
He didn't know what kind of mentality Link had in mind to participate in this competition, in his opinion, Link looked like he was struck by what he had just said, and completely gave up hope.
Link fell into self-defeat, which was undoubtedly a great thing for him!
He got the inside news early on his side, that is, the contestants in the gene medicine area have a guaranteed place and can be 100% promoted to the next round of the main competition!
The genetic pharmacy area has been lonely for decades, and if it doesn't even improve in the near future, it will be eliminated.
In this case, the tournament team gave it sufficient privileges.
As long as the contestants from the gene medicine area are from the genetic medicine area, they do not need to compete with other technology players, as long as they can win against the competitors of their own kind.
In other words, he doesn't need to be very good in this round, he just needs to be good at Bill and the other player, and that's enough.
For example, if there are only eight people in the next round, if the score of the seventh place is 80 points and the score of the 8th place is 75 points, according to the normal situation, he must have at least 75 points above the score to squeeze out the eighth place and advance to the next round.
But under the premise of this internal rule of the event group, this is not the case, no matter how many points he scores, as long as he has a higher score than Link and another player, then he can ignore the score of the eighth place, just squeeze him out and advance to the next round of the competition!
Looking at Link like this now, he should be completely self-defeating and don't plan to advance.
In this case, he is basically 100% able to qualify.
Because.
Another player has already been bought by him, and the price is the income after his promotion, and he will be given 30%.
With Link giving up hope and another player being bought by him, it would be a ghost if he couldn't make the cut.
Once he survived this round and successfully entered the quarterfinals, the patent fee of his medicine could instantly increase several times!
Even if it is divided into 30%, it will not hurt!
No researcher who participates in the science and technology competition can refuse this temptation!
Those scientific researchers who are not bad for money themselves will not come to participate in this kind of scientific and technological competition at all, even if the competition is held in a grand manner.
Like those scientific researchers with good conditions, after they have developed relatively outstanding scientific and technological products, they can independently promote production and make money, and there is no need to take the road of scientific and technological competitions at all.
Participating in the science and technology competition is nothing more than two things, one is to enter the top scientific research group in the Stann continent, and the other is to expose investors to come and invest in their own products.
For this reason, the most people who come to participate in the competition are researchers who are talented but not top-notch, and do not have sufficient favorable conditions, because if they do not meet these conditions, they have no reason to participate in the science and technology competition.
Bai Lun is a typical representative of this!
He really wants to make his grades better, even if it is a little trick!
"Link, come over here, there's something to talk about the last review."
Just when Link was bored, a staff member suddenly ran over and called Link away.
"Censorship...... By the way, what is his score? ”
Seeing this scene, Bai Lun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It occurred to him that he hadn't found out Link's specific score.
The day after the last meal, he logged on to the official website of the science and technology competition on time, wanting to see what his two opponents had achieved, so that they could have a good idea.
The query result is...... Not yet!
Not only Link's results, but also his and the results of another competitor, and there is no explanation.
It's as if the person in charge of their pharmacy area has forgotten about them, and he doesn't even bother to fill in the scores.
He went to the customer service to respond, and the customer service's answer was always that there was some technical problem, and the score could not be displayed for the time being.
He was surprised, with the technology of their Stan Continent, if they want to display a score on the official website, is there any technical difficulty at all?
What can be the technical reason?
Of course, she didn't believe the customer service's answer, but there was no way, and he couldn't think of any other reason.
That's the end of it.
Originally, he planned to ask Link if he knew how many points he had scored in the test at the start of the competition today, but as soon as he inquired about his comparative science and technology works just now, he forgot about it.
Now that the staff is over, he remembers the incident.
Unfortunately, the Link people have been taken out and are now missing, and they don't know when they will be able to return.
And at this time.
The other side.
Link followed the staff all the way to the judges' lounge, and then he was pulled into a private room by one of the pharmacy judges in the judges' lounge.
"What's the matter?" Fly Lu
Link wondered what the judges had called him over for.
He also knew the judge in front of him, and he saw it yesterday that the identity of this judge was faintly higher than that of other judges.
When the other judges talk to this judge, they all use honorifics, which can be seen from the title alone.
None of the other judges came over today, leaving only this one judge.
Link can also guess a general reason, the previous auditions were conducted by each division itself, and the judges were of course professionals in their own divisions.
But.
The main competition is different, the main competition is a combination of four competition areas for the competition, naturally you can't invite all the judges who belong to the pharmacy area, you can only send a judge representing the pharmacy area.
If his guess is true, then the identity of the judge in front of him may still be above his imagination!
"I called you over, of course, for the sake of the competition, and I already know which potion my opponent is, right?"
Whitebeard asked the judges.
"Yes." Link nodded, "It is said to be the champion work of decades ago, and it is very difficult to compare. ”
"Are you confident of winning?"
Judge Whitebeard asked with a smile.
"Nope."
Link replied very dryly.
And the whitebeard judge obviously didn't expect such a crisp answer, so after hearing this answer, he was obviously stunned for a while.
He didn't expect that the author, who could make the only perfect potion in recent decades, didn't even have the most basic confidence to win.
Isn't it the champion work of decades ago?
The total score of the audition stage of that work was less than 299, what is there to be afraid of?
But.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Whether Link has confidence or not, it will not affect the decision of this match.
After their agreement in the past few days, Link has obtained a guaranteed promotion spot!
There's no way, their potion area has been silent for too long, and they urgently need to inject a booster shot!
And Link's potion with a perfect score is the best choice to act as a booster!
They can't afford any loss of such a work, so Link must be given adequate protection.
In the next few rounds, they were confident that Link could win the championship, but in this first round, their confidence was really not enough.
One reason is that the Wild Growth Elixir is really perverted, at least among the physical enhancement elixirs, it is deservedly the strongest.
Not to mention the rest, just a basic effect that increases physical fitness by a hundredfold has already killed nine out of nine physical enhancement potions, not to mention that after use, it can also bring extremely perverted growth abilities, which can make the body grow bones that can be used as weapons!
Whether it's a finger bone that can be used as a hidden weapon, or a thigh bone that can be used as a club, its strength is far greater than that of ordinary weapons on the market.
Using Wild Growth means that you don't need to carry a weapon when you go out in the future, as long as you draw your own bones, it is the top weapon!
If it weren't for the fact that this potion suffered a loss in terms of safety level, it would have been a proper full score work.
In the face of such a perverted opponent, the whitebeard judges really don't think that Link has the ability to win, so it is necessary to give him enough protection.
As long as you can help Link survive the first round, with the quality of Link's potions, it is really not so difficult to win the championship!
"You didn't just ask me if I had faith, did you?"
In the face of this big man in the pharmacy industry, Link also gave enough respect.
"Of course not."
The whitebeard judge smiled and shook his head, "I called you here to tell you that there is no pressure in the next competition, you have already been guaranteed to enter the next round." ”
"Escort?"
Link was stunned, "Why?" ”
"Because this is the only format that is more difficult for your potion, you can basically win the championship without dying."
Whitebeard Judge looked at Link, "In order to revitalize the potion area with the championship, we can only take some necessary dark box operations, you shouldn't mind, right?" ”
"Don't mind, don't mind at all, thank you, judges, for bothering you."
Link said naturally, and the guilt of walking through the back door was not visible on his face at all!
Why don't you go through the back door if you have a back door?
He doesn't have such a strong sense of justice, in his eyes, as long as he can help him make money, and it is not a matter of conscience, he can do it.
Something like face and a sense of justice is not as important as money in his eyes!
"Uh......"
Faced with such a crisp answer again, the whitebeard judge was stunned for a moment.
He really admires Link's cheekiness, and in the face of this kind of thing, you don't symbolically express some inappropriateness, even if you agree so shamelessly.
Can you play according to the routine?
"And what am I going to do for the next game?"
Link asked about the details of the upcoming game.
"You just play normally, the other three judges have already been made clear by us, and they will give you a score that is enough to enter the next round."
Whitebeard replied.
"Is it playing normally? So what if my potion performs very badly, won't the audience see it? ”
"Don't worry, this won't happen, we will do some tricks on the submitted comparative potion samples, at least we won't let your potion lose too badly."
"In a word, you don't need to worry about anything else, you just need to participate in the competition with peace of mind."
"Okay, I see."
Link nodded.
In fact, even if the judges don't ask him to tell him about it, he won't do anything special to increase his chances of winning when he comes to the competition.
It really doesn't matter if you win the championship or not, you just need to show your face at the big tournament anyway.
Of course.
If you can win the championship, it will be better.
After chatting about some of the details of the upcoming competition, the whitebeard judge waved Link away.
At this time, the countdown to the start of the game has begun!
