Becoming a life winner from infancy

Before everyone's eyes stood Jiang Zhengyi, dressed in a school uniform.

Jiang Zhengyi teetered forward to take photos, and regretted to find that what had looked like a kiss between Xia Nuo and Fang You was merely a matter of camera angles. What a pity.

However, she was quite pleased with Luo Xianyu's performance.

"Hmph, it seems you've finally addressed me by my proper title this time," Jiang Zhengyi quickly adjusted her mood and, with a touch of pride, smoothed back her hair before pointing out to Luo Xianyu:

"Although I like the progress you're making, you still need to remember to cut your bangs. That's against school rules. Don't let me catch you like that again, got it?"

"Annoying captain! Little braggart! Who's going to listen to you!"

Luo Xianyu, harboring resentment toward the captain, puffed out her cheeks and huffed.

"Captain, how did you get in here?"

Xia Nuo's expression was also very grave at this moment, "If you're here to cheer for me, you can do that from the stands. This is the competition area, and it's off-limits to non-participants..."

"You think I didn't consider that? Of course, I did! The reason I can be here is, of course... I'm participating in the race too!"

Jiang Zhengyi was beaming with satisfaction today, arms crossed, then she slightly turned her body and gestured:

"Take a good look, this is my ride—the Model Student Car!"

Jiang Zhengyi had some Young Pioneers push the car over.

The reason Jiang Zhengyi decided to participate in this competition was, naturally, because she had her own considerations.

As a classmate who sat in the same row as Xia Nuo, Jiang Zhengyi naturally noticed what kind of mischief they had been up to in the classroom on a regular basis.

Initially, she wanted to stop them, but when she looked through the school rules, there was no specific regulation saying they couldn't participate in the soapbox derby, so she had to give up, begrudgingly.

But then, Jiang Zhengyi noticed something else—participating in these kinds of competitions could not only win prize money but could also score some impressive extra-curricular achievements.

To the average elementary student, these points might not matter much, but for someone like Jiang Zhengyi, who was set on becoming a student at Zhendan Academy, these achievements were officially recognized by Zhendan Academy as part of the qualifications needed to apply.

When she initially went to sign up, determined, Jiang Zhengyi stepped back because of the rule that required at least two people to form a team.

Jiang Zhengyi realized she had no friends!

But after giving it some more thought, she figured that for a science and technology invention competition, there was no need to participate with friends.

Though she had no friends, she did have many subordinates!

Captain Jiang Zhengyi had a bunch of squad leaders under her command, so it was easy to find a few fill-ins; others shared Jiang Zhengyi's ambition and wanted to accumulate awards to embellish their enrollment résumés.

And so, Jiang Zhengyi's competition car was unveiled—

Her car looked like a modified scooter with a podium at the rear, on which stood gold, silver, and bronze trophies. At the center of the podium was a real "Model Student" certificate, and the body of the car was plastered with emblems denoting various honors and distinctions, exuding the pride and glory of an honor student.

But in Fang You's eyes, it was a very unstable vehicle, one that he estimated to fall apart at the first slope, to say nothing of the fatal S-bend; it was utterly unimaginable that it could make the turn.

"Although your car isn't bad, ours is still cooler—the Sentry-class racing car is bigger and better!"

"Exactly, exactly, exactly!" Luo Xianyu followed behind Xia Nuo, making faces and joining in to mock Jiang Zhengyi.

"Then let's wait and see!"

At this point, Fang You suddenly spoke up to stop Jiang Zhengyi, "Hold on, since you're here and it's a rare opportunity, why don't we raise the stakes for our showdown? What do you think?"

Jiang Zhengyi paused, puzzled, "How do you want to bet?"

Fang You said, "If we win, you can't trouble us over school rules anymore."

"Hmm..."

"What's the matter, you scared and don't dare to compete?"

"It's a matter of principle; I need to think it over."

After careful consideration, Jiang Zhengyi replied, "At most, I can turn a blind eye to this kid's bangs covering her eyes, but if I find solid proof of you guys dating, I will still report you!"

"The captain is too strict!"

Meng Qing, who was standing off to the side, was utterly baffled but felt that this little girl was pretty formidable.

"If you agree, then I will state my condition,"

At that moment, Fang You suddenly interrupted Jiang Zhengyi, "That's not important; you won't beat us anyway."

"That's right, impossible to win!"

[Jiang Zhengyi feels you're looking down on her, she's very angry now! Emotional Energy +80*10]

[You're sarcastically praising someone else's child, Jiang Zhengyi, who finds it unbelievable! It's an experience she's never had before. Pleasure Experience +5, Pleasure Experience +5…]

Blushing with rage, Jiang Zhengyi pointed at Fang You, cursing: "Fang You, listen up, if you lose to me in this competition and don't win the championship, you! Can't sit with Xia Nuo anymore! You have to proactively ask the teacher to change seats!"

"Damn it, what a terrifying bet!" Xia Nuo heard this and was as shocked as if struck by thunder. He immediately fell to his knees, his expression one of disbelief and inability to accept what was happening, imploringly begging Jiang Zhengyi:

"Captain, can we not bet anymore? Please, I'll do anything for you!"

"Hahaha! Scared now, aren't you? Too late to be scared, because I won't take back this bet! Hahaha!"

Jiang Zhengyi left the waiting area in high spirits, swaggering away.

Once Jiang Zhengyi left, Xia Nuo was willing to be helped up from the ground by Fang You and Luo Xianyu.

Meng Qing found Xia Nuo's reaction strange and asked, "Nuo Nuo, do you really think we're going to lose?"

"Not at all, I just wanted to go along with the Captain's response and react accordingly."

Xia Nuo excitedly bounced around: "Because when she realizes the gap between us and is shocked, it will be so much fun!"

Ah...

It seems that Nuo Nuo isn't wholly a good child!

But this quirky sense of mischief is coming from such a cute kid.

Even if it feels a bit naughty, it seems acceptable!

Because a naughty Nuo Nuo is cute too! Cutness is justice!

Ding, ding ding, ding ding ding ding—

The Soapbox Derby Design Competition in Mei City has officially begun! Enjoy exclusive content from empire

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Super A'niu and Super Xiao-Lu began today's competition commentary in Mei City:

"Hello to all the viewers in front of the TV and friends here at the venue!"

"Okay, with the strong music starting, let's see which dream car of every little boy the first competitor is driving onto the stage!

"The first one up is an old-fashioned train, literally a locomotive head, folks."

"Hmm... has a bit of a classic vibe for the middle-aged and elderly, quite simple."

"That's why the judges only gave it a design score of 13 points, a bit low…"

"Don't worry about that A'niu, let's see how it performs next!"

A few chubby "train workers" in overalls were polishing the train's body. They were all slightly overweight, wearing round glasses, with buzz cuts, tinkering with wrenches, and then the train was pushed off to cheers!

"Classics never fade, charge!"

"The train's gravitational acceleration is pretty fierce, it already started to wobble during the descent."

"A fast sprint at the start, not the clumsiness of old trains at all, amazing!"

"Oh no! It's reached the first challenging point of this track—the Destiny Right-Angle Turn!"

"Heavyweight antique competitors, charge, charge, charge!"

"The train entered the right-angled track stiffly, without turning in advance—does it intend to drift? Hey! Why won't it drift!"

"No! The train crashed straight into the wall! Car wrecked, people flipped!"

"Absolutely no control, this trashy train... Eh, eh, eh, not enough to flip over, it also has to shamefully perform the classic turtle shell turnover."

"Shameful, shameful! I'm witnessing a complete explosion! This is simply the most nightmarish start I've ever seen in all my years of commentating, not even getting past the first obstacle, it's too embarrassing! Get out of here! You old relics! Trash! Waste! Become the dross of a bygone era! Old stuff simply doesn't deserve respect, or a high salary! They won't even keep a spot on the show!"

Super Xiao-Lu said, while giving a thumbs-up to the crashed drivers as they got up, expressing disdain for their incompetence which seemed to mirror his own indignation at not receiving fair treatment!

"Xiao-Lu, Xiao-Lu! I know you're disgruntled about your salary being lower than it should be, but we should be mindful of the situation, right? Eh, it looks like these train workers are quite unhappy with our commentary, could the staff please close the door for us!"

In addition to its own absurd race style, the Green Bull Cup also has an interesting feature—these two commentators, who blatantly unleash their random, stand-up comedy-like offensive artistry, attracting many spectators.

Of course, their offensive antics often provoke dissatisfaction from the competitors, like now, which is why they often end up commentating as if their lives are on the line.

"Alright, enough talk, those junk antique cars have already been swept into the dust of history, let's see which car is up next!"
