"Huh?" Principal Xia, who was watching with everyone else, suddenly asked in confusion.
Teacher Duan glanced at him sideways without his eyelids twitching, with a look that said "What are you doing again, you weirdo?" It was obvious that he knew the principal's style very well.
This sparked a reaction in the topic... It's still so contrived after all these years.
Jason seemed not to notice the contempt in his old friend's eyes at all, and said with a hint of amusement, "It seems that I was right to ask Denis to help design the competition. This year is indeed more interesting than last year. It's worth it.
"You're the only one who dares to go to that old guy Denis. God knows I thought you were crazy later... How much money do you plan to invest in it to see any splash? I'm afraid that not only will you pour in the funds, but you'll also lose your own fortune in the end." Duan Wenyao said unhappily.
At this point, Principal Xia's expression couldn't help but become a little embarrassed, because the other party really didn't lie.
Denis Sullivan, the professor of the second-year mecha department, is an extremely famous intermediate mecha master in the school, and he is also known for taking advantage of others.
Not only was the other party's salary extremely high, but his custom-made mecha was also notoriously expensive. It was so expensive that it was well-known far and wide, and even people in the inner galaxies and the central galaxy had heard of it.
Jason spent a lot of money to ask that guy for help this time. This is still a "large sum" even if the school and the investors doubled the funds. If we look at the examples in previous years, it is indeed as Duan Wenyao said that he may have to pay a large sum of money himself.
But of course Principal Xia was unwilling to admit it. He was not stupid, so how could he pay for it? The school was paying for it and said that money was not a problem. He wanted to hold an event that would be known to the entire resident galaxy, so he dared to invite people. If he really had to pay, he would rather not do it.
Denis is a bit expensive, but he is also a real talent. Otherwise, why would so many people come to him for customization even though it is so expensive? You may not be able to get a place from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. It all depends on his mood.
It was also good luck that we found him to design the stadium and props this time. He just happened to have the time, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to get a spot.
"Alright, alright, Teacher Duan, I know you're doing this for the good of the school. But hush... We've already hired someone to do this, and it will be great if things get done. But don't let anyone else hear it, otherwise we won't be able to wrap it up." Principal Jason quickly interrupted the other person.
Although he didn't come today, who knows if there are any of his people around here. If they hear about it, they won't be able to hire him to work in the future. If the other party is a little more narrow-minded, they may have to find another great lecturer.
Teacher Duan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Who was the one who had a quarrel with Dennis and complained about his high price to his face? Didn't he have to pay 1.1 times the price to keep him
You were so angry at that time that you complained to him all day long.
Now the other party has done a favor, and he is asking for money. The business is delivered to him, and you immediately say he is good... Do you know how much money that is? So, Principal Xia, you are indeed a child of a famous wealthy family in the capital, and you don't understand the value of money from the bottom of your heart.
But it doesn't matter. Denis does have real skills, and the school is always worried that he will quit his job and jump to another school for no reason, so they often give them instructions to find someone to talk to, for fear that the person will run away.
The principal's behavior is actually in line with the school's intentions. He and the principal play the good cop and the bad cop respectively, but they are actually just carrying out the same mission.

Of course, the off-field incident was just a small episode, and our attention returned to the training ground, or rather, the supply point.
Because the screens in the viewing seats have almost shifted all the images to the supply point, observing the status of all contestants entering the supply point from all angles, directions, and levels.
The broadcast center told the contestants that they could enter the supply points to resupply and recharge, but did not tell them more information about the supply points. However, this does not mean that people outside do not know.
Because this hidden information will be fully broadcast to people outside.
They could clearly see on the observation screen that three supply sites appeared simultaneously on the two training grounds.
Most, or should I say almost all, of the contestants who could hear the announcement chose to find a relatively close supply point and enter it. This action was almost completed within ten minutes, for fear that if they walked a step slower, they would be left behind and miss out on resources.
Of course, some people didn't believe this and thought of finding another way and didn't enter the supply point. Little did they know that the moment they made the choice, they were already doomed to be eliminated.
Because according to the regulations, all contestants must wear the simulation bra until the end of the competition. In addition to being a standard prop for judging the results of the competition, it is also a multi-functional protective prop customized by Denis Intermediate Mecha Master for all students, with the purpose of protecting the safety of all contestants during the competition.
After all, this is just a game. These young and lively students still have a longer future and a greater journey to fulfill. They must not be harmed by the momentary excitement. This is also the purpose of the military and the school. They hope to truly put safety first and competition second.
The energy consumption of the simulated bra varies depending on the usage of the protection mode, so the energy consumption of each person using the simulated bra is also different.
However, under such a high-intensity operating mode, it can only last for about eleven or twelve hours on average at most, and the electricity will probably run out.
At this time, it is necessary to recharge, which is what the school calls energy replenishment. Jiang Hui and his team were right in their guess. This energy replenishment is indeed specially designed for the simulation bra. Once the energy of the simulation bra is used up, the user will be eliminated directly, so as to ensure the safety of the user.
That is to say, they must enter the supply point to replenish energy in order to continue to maintain the simulated bra, otherwise they can only wait for the next quarter of the race. But can the simulated bra last that long? In other words, those who gave up entering the supply point actually gave up the endurance of the race and were destined to be unable to continue.
Of course, the broadcast center did not announce this, because this was also a small test to test everyone's decisiveness - to test whether they would be satisfied with temporary comfort or give up the opportunity in front of them because of possible dangers.
However, for those who entered the supply point without hesitation, it was not so easy to get through. Everything had just begun.
New venue, new rules, unknown journey... everyone will face new challenges.
