CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 369: STUNNED!

At this moment—

The atmosphere in the entire auditorium became subtly charged due to Ji You’s recent operation.

Ji You raised her eyes to meet the slightly impatient gaze of the boy, then slowly curved the corners of her lips, smiling and saying, "Of course you may."

The boy sighed in relief, sincerely saying, "Thank you."

Ji You appeared calm, but inside she was a little thrilled; this was called setting the hook. Wanting to fish and just after setting the hook, like you wished, a fish bit the bait.

How could she not be happy?

Ji You’s pretense of not testing the data was to catch the attention of the audience present, wanting them to take the initiative to ask.

Her distinct knuckles grabbed the tube of material, gently placing it into a testing device. These devices were not brought by Ji You, but were originally equipped in the auditorium of the Material Department.

The auditorium of the Material Department, used for various activities, lectures, etc., was thus equipped with a complete set of equipment used by the Material Department.

When Ji You started the test, 49 pairs of eyes in the audience were fixed on Ji You’s hands, not blinking for fear that they would miss crucial information in the blink of an eye.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ding—

Two minutes later, the test results timely appeared: [Product Name: Snow Juice—Adhesive, Effective Utilization Rate: 98%...]

Behind the test results, there was a long list of data, but upon seeing an effective rate of 98%, everyone’s eyes in the hall widened immensely, too shocked to look at the other data...

Even the students responsible for maintaining order, who were unrelated to the Material Department, also widened their eyes in shock!

How—

How is this possible?

How was this achieved?

At the scene, someone exclaimed, "It must be fake, right? Is the testing device malfunctioning?"

Once this was said, many people chimed in: "The testing device must have malfunctioned, how else could this be possible?"

"Snow Juice as an adhesive has been active on the stage of materials even before the Alliance was established, but after hundreds to thousands of years of development, it only managed to increase its effective utilization rate to 95%.

This is the high effectiveness rate that countless ancestors worked together to achieve over a long time, and some have asserted that due to its material characteristics, Snow Juice could only achieve up to 95% at most.

But—

But what about the data presented before them?

A feat that world-renowned experts couldn’t accomplish, a mere freshman managed to do it, how could they accept this?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

So—

The test data must be incorrect.

Immediately, someone stood up and said, "I suggest bringing in a new testing device and retest!"

"Yes!"

"I agree!"

"I also agree!

"Retest!"

...

In this fair and harmonious world under the clear sky, they would absolutely not tolerate anyone falsifying results in front of so many people!

Absolutely not!

Before Ji You could speak, Cheng Jing, who was in charge of maintaining order, stood up and said loudly, "What are you all doing? This is the auditorium. By questioning the results, are you questioning Ji You’s cheating, or are you questioning the school?"

With these words from Cheng Jing, the noise at the scene slightly subsided, but someone still boldly spoke up, "We are not questioning the school, we are questioning a person. If she is innocent, if she really did it, then she should come forward voluntarily to take everyone’s test. I believe if it’s true, even with a different testing device, the result will not change."

"Exactly!"

"Ji You, dare you face everyone and retake the test?"

The demands made by the audience, though not excessive, placed Cheng Jing in a difficult position, thus he turned towards Ji You—

Hearing this, Ji You remained extremely calm, and with a smile said, "Of course, everything I have done is public and transparent, so I don’t mind anyone supervising the final result."

Her words were magnanimous and left no room for further comment.

Thus—

Led by a few from the audience, contact was made with other students, and soon, two new inspection devices were brought in.

Along with these equipment, dozens of students who had heard about the results and were curious also hurried over.

These people transported the devices, and the auditorium’s auxiliary robots moved the equipment onto the stage, Ji You did not operate them herself but looked at the dozens of additional spectators, her smile deepening in her eyes: "How about this, to ensure the fairness of the results, I myself will not participate in the testing. How about we appoint two students from the audience seats instead?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, and someone immediately said, "I sign up to participate."

"I will too."

"I’m suited for this task."

...

For a moment, everyone was babbling, eagerly wanting to go on stage to handle the testing.

Cheng Jing, seeing this scene, took the initiative to say, "To ensure the fairness of the results, our Student Management Office should also send a representative up, so we can supervise each other and ensure the results are fair."

"Agreed," said Ji You.

"Agreed," the audience also agreed in unison.

Thus—

After a brief chaos, the audience finally selected their representatives, a female student and a male student. The boy was named Xia Dong and the girl named Shi Yin.

From the Student Management Office, a representative chosen was also a female student, and a student from the 131st batch of the Material Department, named Jiang Tong.

Xia Dong, Shi Yin, and Jiang Tong together turned on one of the testing devices, and with solemn faces, they placed the treated Snow Juice by Ji You inside—

What followed was a brief but tense wait.

One minute later, the result was out.

The moment they saw the result, all three showed expressions of shock, and the girl named Shi Yin couldn’t help but open her mouth wide, exclaiming, "It’s actually an effective utilization rate of 98.453%!"

That’s right.

The data not only did not decrease but increased!

Of course, the device in the school auditorium rounded down, thus the final result was set at 98% only, so the results from the two devices were not too far off.

But—

BUT!!!

Both the audience in their seats and the few people on stage were all momentarily speechless.

Silence.

A deadly silence.

...

The brief silence was broken by a very abrupt and very harsh clapping sound, and as everyone looked towards the source of the clapping, they found it was Chu Jiaojiao dressed in black.

Chu Jiaojiao stood up from her chair, clapping vigorously, and not just that, she fixed her eyes tightly on Ji You, almost wishing she could immediately hoist Ji You and spin her around, "Ji You is really impressive! I knew Ji You would shock everyone."

Chu Jiaojiao was smiling so widely that her eyes were nearly invisible.

Following—

Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and Shen Changqing also joined in the applause.

Then—

Nearly a hundred spectators at the scene also stood up at this moment, applauding.
