Chapter 65: Won? Is that how you won?

Lu Yu did not respond to Professor Chen, merely standing there silently.

At this moment, the host had come to the center of the venue and began introducing the competitors.

This was a perfectly normal procedure, until…

"Number five athlete from Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University, Lu Yu." As the host said that, Lu Yu walked to the center of the stage.

Silence, the entire venue fell silent in an instant.

Don't forget an important point—Lu Yu is merely a seven‑year‑old child!

No matter how he performs, no matter his mind and heart, he is still just a seven‑year‑old who is a little over one meter tall!

The whole crowd was dumbfounded!

What on earth is Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University doing!

Why would they let a child compete!

Are they trying to forfeit the match?

But no matter what, Lu Yu is indeed one of the competitors, so…

Lu Yu still sat together with his fellow Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University classmates in the competitor seats, even taking the middle spot.

…

Off‑stage.

"Smith, what do you think Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University means by this? Why would they put a child on stage?"

"Is this the other side's humiliation of you?"

The foreign reporter grabbed a microphone and began interviewing Smith.

This is a tremendous opportunity.

The foreign reporter would naturally not pass up a chance to stir things up.

Smith smiled and said, "You still don't understand Huaxia well enough; they possess profound wisdom. Or you could describe them as old sly and crafty."

"The professor leading their team this time is Professor Chen, my old friend."

"Professor Chen knows my research topic, so he naturally understands my strength better than anyone else."

"In this situation, Professor Chen choosing to concede is the correct course."

"But in Huaxia, on their home turf, they lack the courage and grace to admit their own defeat."

"So they deliberately sent a child onto the stage; if they lose, they'll have an excuse."

Smith's remark… basically amounts to disparaging Professor Chen.

Since the two sides are opponents, why hold back when you can strike?

Chivalry? That's just something they act out on TV!

The foreign reporter stared, then a heavy smile spread across his face.

He had already thought up the headline for after the match.

【Cowardly Huaxia people, not even daring to admit defeat?】

Yes!

The foreign reporter no longer fears the situation blowing up.

Or rather, he wants the situation to blow up.

The humiliation Lu Yu and Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University gave him—he will repay it double!

…

The match has begun!

The picture on the front display screen…… is frozen!

Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University and the Meizhou representatives naturally have not abandoned the match; the players are all…… desperately pounding on their keyboards.

At this moment, nobody finds the frozen picture boring; on the contrary…… they are all feeling tense right now.

The earlier match let them know that both sides are preparing.

For that one strike—possibly the only one in the entire venue—they are getting ready.

Yes!

Watching Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University compete is this thrilling—if they don't move, it's fine; once they move, it's earth‑shattering!

But Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University's opponent is obviously no pushover.

Can they, like in the past few matches, land a one‑hit kill?

…

Professor Chen's brows involuntarily knit tightly at this moment.

He had already heard from Lao Li about Lu Yu's earlier tactical arrangements.

To be frank, if facing other competitors, Professor Chen believes Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University is sure to win.

But…

"What exactly is Smith's 【Wormhole】? Old Chen… do you really think we can't win?" Lao Li couldn't help but ask.

Professor Chen fell silent for a while, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and said, "The so‑called 【Wormhole】 is a kind of rollback technology."

"Put simply, in the code world the 【Wormhole】 is like a magic door—you can go back to the past or jump to the future."

Professor Chen stopped explaining there.

If he were to explain the principle in earnest, he probably still couldn't make it fully clear before the match ends.

Yet even this simple explanation already accounts for far too much.

Lao Li, being knowledgeable, naturally… at this point his expression turned extremely grave.

He certainly hopes Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University wins, but…

This time, perhaps we still have to lose!

No, Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University isn't strong enough; it's not that Lu Yu isn't strong enough, but the opponent…… is too strong!

……

Half an hour has passed!

The Meizhou representative showed no movement, as if…… they had already fallen asleep.

"Lu Yu, should we launch an attack on them?"

"I always feel they are waiting for our attack."

"They have prepared for so long; they must have set up some kind of trap."

"Should we first test them out?"

The Computer Lab students all spoke up.

Lu Yu fell silent for a moment, then said: "Start the attack, go all out!"

"They definitely have a trap waiting for us."

But if we don't charge forward, we will never know what the trap is, and we will never be able to break through their firewall.

"Alright! Move out!" The Computer Lab students accepted the order.

Then…… the attack of Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University began!

……

As expected, Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University's attack remained just as sudden and fierce.

"It appeared! It appeared! Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University's attack appeared!"

Their attack still easily bypassed the first two firewalls and appeared directly in the core area of the Meizhou representative.

"We can do it! As long as we land one blow, victory will belong to Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University!"

The audience at this moment could not help but cheer, as if they had already seen victory—victory for Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University, victory for Huaxia.

"The Warrior brandished its knife and stabbed straight at the opponent's core."

The knife moved forward, then forward again, and then…… the knife pierced the opponent's core.

We won?

Just like that we won?

"Great! We are the champions!"

"Long live Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University!"

"Long live Huaxia!"

The venue immediately erupted with wave after wave of cheers.

The result came quickly, but because of previous experience, everyone had already grown accustomed to it.

At this moment, all they had was excitement and joy.

But……

Has the match really ended?

If that were truly the case, why hasn't the screen ahead given the final result?

……

Beside him, Smith's mouth curled up, stretching into a sneering arc.

"No way? Chen, is this the strength of your Mo Du Electronic Science and Technology University?"

"With just that little strength, you still want to beat me?"

"It seems after not seeing you for a while, you've also become useless."

Smith said this, and involuntarily shook his head.
