Chapter 3254: Only Use Your Strength to Give Them A Loud Slap
Editor: Atlas Studios
Surprisingly, Li Xin looked more like his grandfather, retaining yellow skin and black hair despite having brown eyes.
He had been troubled by this since he was young. He felt that it was because of his appearance that he could not integrate into local life.
Even if he redoubled his efforts, he would only be able to reach this stage. He still did not have a chance to do much confidential research.
He attributed it to his appearance and hated people with the same physical characteristics.
Since Qiao Nian dared to bet with him, he did not care about being a gentleman and turned vicious. “I’ll bet. Why not?”
The surroundings were in an uproar.
No one expected that in just a few minutes, it would become a bet between third place and third from the bottom.
Li Xin wasn’t stupid. Or rather, he was too shrewd and afraid that he would be at a disadvantage. His tone changed and he immediately said, “But I want to change the bet. You’re not a scientist. Being unable to partic.i.p.ate in international compet.i.tions for three years won’t be a loss to you.”
Qin Si rubbed his swollen temples and gave him a thumbs up. “You’re awesome!”
Qiao Nian wasn’t a scientist?
Who gave him the courage to say that?
Did the First Research Inst.i.tute of the independent continent agree with that?
He was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage in this bet. He was really… ignorant!
Li Xin thought he had seen through his opponent and his opponent was now exasperated. Hence, he became even more confident. “If you lose, I request you to kneel in front of everyone and apologize to me! And admit that you people of Beijing are inferior to us!”
This request was too much.
Qiao Nian’s request was only targeted at him, while his request was obviously to humiliate the entire Beijing team, including Master Cheng…
The scientific research circle also emphasized the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young. Master Cheng had been famous for a long time and was considered an old senior. But he actually did not show any respect for him!
Qiao Nian’s eyes darkened and she agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”

Word about the bet spread, and people started catching wind of it.
Along the way, Qiao Nian and the others received many sympathetic gazes. Some teams close to them especially came over to show their concern and persuade them to forget about it.
They could just admit defeat and let this pa.s.s.
As a man, Li Xin was most likely embarra.s.sed to make things difficult for a girl in front of so many people.
However, this time, from Qin Si to Bo Zheng, everyone in the Beijing team was unified. They wanted to fight Li Xin’s team to the end!
After a while, Master Cheng and the others returned.
With such a huge commotion, Master Cheng quickly heard about the bet. His eyes darkened, and he angrily said, “This Li Xin used to come to the Ninth Branch to exchange knowledge and learn. The photoelectric theory he launched not long ago was completed in cooperation with us. I didn’t expect him to turn hostile as soon as he left! What an ingrate.”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan raised his eyebrows disdainfully. “That’s normal. Some people look down on us and Beijing from the bottom of their hearts.”
Master Cheng’s heart sank.
Complicated feelings like anger, grievance, and discomfort that he was unable to release piled up in his chest, suffocating him.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan saw that he was angry and patted his shoulder. Then, he casually said, “It’s okay. They can think whatever they want. We just have to be ourselves. The best way to fight back against these people is to give them a resounding slap with absolute strength!”
