Can you explain it to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Han and Song Ruyi also pricked up their ears to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan had really done his homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He talked about everything from the rules of the competition to champions of the previous years, as well as the various types of robots and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mei listened very attentively, asking questions occasionally to show her support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Ruyi and Zhao Mingrui had also done their research, but it wasn’t as detailed as Xiao Yuan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They too listened very earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiao Yuan nearly finished explaining, Zhang Ke rushed over in a hurry, and after sitting down, he also started to enthusiastically discuss the history of the robotics competition once he heard Xiao Yuan mention it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the competition began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the contestants appeared with their robots and greeted the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other contestants were in teams, and their robots were the crystallization of the team’s efforts, only Anning was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Han was a bit worried: \"Won’t our Ningning be at a disadvantage by herself? Ningning is so young, and everyone else is older than her. Isn’t it a bit too much for her to command a robot alone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ke waved his hand dismissively: \"Uncle, just relax. Zhao Batian is no ordinary robot; it’s really powerful. Other robots are just meals delivered to its doorstep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Han still couldn’t ease his worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan and Zhao Mingrui had started feeling uncomfortable with each other, getting into a disagreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cause of their quarrel was because they each had their own opinions about which robots could potentially make it into the finals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a brief argument over the robots they each favored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ke lowered his head and snickered to himself, silently mockingly thinking Xiao Yuan was naive, daring to argue with his future brother-in-law, without fearing that Zhao Mingrui might trip him up in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Xiao Hongyi pulled Xiao Yuan aside and whispered in his ear: \"Alright, let’s give in a bit to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hongyi also gave Xiao Yuan a meaningful look towards Anning: \"That’s Anning’s brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan suddenly realized Zhao Mingrui’s identity, and immediately felt deep regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mei covered her mouth to hide a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had noticed that ever since Xiao Yuan fell for Anning, he seemed not to be as repulsive towards her, and the atmosphere at home had improved a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say that because of Anning, Xiao Yuan had reined in all his thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mei quite liked this change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke’er rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan and said lowly: \"Idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mei quickly went to tug at Chen Ke’er: \"What are you saying, that’s your brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I...\" Chen Ke’er wanted to say she didn’t have such a brother, but then Tian Mei gave her a warning glance, and Chen Ke’er felt wronged and upset, so she fell silent and stopped talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was Song Ruyi sitting next to Chen Ke’er who smiled and said a few words to her, which somewhat improved Chen Ke’er’s mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition officially started soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robots in the combat category were the first to compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one to appear was a robot named Red Fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This robot was completely red and looked very pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Zhang Ke had seen the information about Red Fox, as he said with a smile: \"This Red Fox is pretty powerful. It was made by a second-year high school student from the Science and Technology School. Don’t be fooled by its small size and cute appearance; its combat ability is top-notch. It is not heavy and has great jumping power. Moreover, it possesses strong lateral cutting abilities, making it offensive and defensive, and very difficult to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent facing Red Fox was a robot called Golden Hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most distinctive feature of this robot was its very heavy hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robot was tall, with its hammer held high; if that heavy hammer struck down, it could instantly put the opposing robot out of commission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host pushed the start button, and both Red Fox and Golden Hammer started to be on their guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, they circled each other, probing for weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Golden Hammer maneuvered behind Red Fox, and the hammer came down without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Ruyi was so startled she couldn’t help but let out a scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just her; many in the audience also began to exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Ruyi clenched Zhao Han’s hand tightly, looking particularly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been rooting for Red Fox from the start and didn’t want to see Red Fox scrapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Fox was also quite alert, with a fierce leap, it dodged Golden Hammer’s attack and then counterattacked at Golden Hammer’s lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan and Zhao Mingrui were also made sweaty by the tense atmosphere of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they truly appreciated the charm of a robot competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Red Fox landed an attack on Golden Hammer, and Song Ruyi and Tian Mei cheered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smash from Golden Hammer, Zhao Han and Xiao Hongyi cheered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides fought fiercely, with Xiao Yuan, Zhao Mingrui, Zhang Ke, and Chen Ke’er cheering together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the parents from both sides clapped with the four kids together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle ultimately ended with Golden Hammer’s victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Mei and Song Ruyi felt a bit upset in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, another battle between robots soon drew their attention again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until Anning’s Zhao Batian took the stage that the four adults and four children all stood up to applaud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for the three members of the Zhao Family, their palms were all red from clapping so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xiao Yuan and Zhang Ke also stood up. The two of them shouted wildly, \"Go Zhao Batian, Zhao Batian will win, Zhao Batian is mighty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they shouted, instantly more people in the stands stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all classmates from Class Twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Gao Nana, Dong Xue, Qi Feng, Cheng Xiaofei, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan was still in his eccentric outfit today, with bright Red hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ke had a colorful wig forced on him by Xiao Yuan, and although he wanted to take it off, Xiao Yuan wouldn’t allow it, so he had no choice but to wear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gao Nana and the other classmates, feeling obliged to cheer for Anning, naturally dolled themselves up as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore what they considered their most attractive clothes, with all sorts of eccentric outfits making an appearance. The girls drew heavy eyeliner and wore lipstick in various colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colors like deathly Barbie pink, heavy metal shades, deep purples, blood reds - in a word, quite striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hair also came in various colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple, blue, grandma gray, pink, red...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, when this group of kids stood up, they were even more eye-catching than the robots in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the focus of the arena was on these kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were exceedingly proud of themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they picked up light boards from their seats and raised them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were expensive light boards they had made, particularly dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan also raised a light board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His light board was filled with the flavor of money, looking particularly luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light board was inlaid with diamonds, and the characters on it were especially shiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hongyi covered his face, unable to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go Anning, Zhao Batian will win...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan shouted wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he shouted, the classmates from Class Twelve also shouted, \"Go Anning, Zhao Batian will win...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These second-year-syndrome kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience in the stands couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight, lightening the tense atmosphere following the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone else, seeing so many people with strange outfits and second-year-syndrome behavior cheering for her, they might feel embarrassed, perhaps even angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Anning wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been through too much and had long become indifferent to many things. In her view, these actions meant nothing—she was instead moved by everyone’s sincere support for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning stood up, smiling and waving towards Xiao Yuan and the Class Twelve classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Nana hugged Dong Xue: \"Anning smiled, she’s waving at us, her smile is so cute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Anning has such a sweet smile, she’s sure to win this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1435,"2026-06-05T16:08:09.864Z",1,"novelbin.me","1b66f073b4824f358c423418b02ee8c99a71929c5b65f95102691ed7f4c806be","the-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-chapter-160","the-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-chapter-158",1243,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-cover.jpg"]
