"Huh? What other tricks are you trying to pull?" The judges were all unhappy.
Ignoring everything else, Gao Jianfei mounted the "four-legged creature" directly.
"Gao Jianfei, have you gone mad?" Feng Haoyu exclaimed in a frenzy.
"Haha! In fact, completing this piece within the few hours of the competition is very difficult. After all, the precision and difficulty of its production are on a completely different level than wood carving or anything like that... well, the two are not even in the same league! Therefore, in order to save time, I basically abandoned the appearance of this piece and focused on its actual internal mechanisms. Please take a look!"
After Gao Jianfei finished speaking, he slapped the "four-legged creature's" rear end. Uh, there was a wooden button there, and the slap happened to activate that button.
An unbelievable scene unfolded!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The "four unlikes" actually took off with all four hooves and slowly paced forward in place!
Although it was moving very slowly, it carried Gao Jianfei and made steady progress, taking each step with care!
"Huh? This...this...what's going on?" Lu Darui rubbed his eyes hard, then jumped out of the judging panel, and the other judges also rushed out.
"What...what is he playing?" Feng Haoyu's mind went blank, as if he had been hit by something!
The entire audience, who had initially been mocking Gao Jianfei, fell silent and stood up, staring at the walking "four-legged creature."
"Accelerate!" Gao Jianfei patted the button on the "four-not-like" rear end again.
Immediately, the four-legged creature unleashed its hooves and began to run, "clunk! clunk! clunk!" Of course, this running was only a trot, about the same speed as a human walking.
After running around for a while, Gao Jianfei patted the left side of the "four-legged creature"... "Turn left!"
The "four unlikes" awkwardly turned in a different direction and started jogging to the left.
"Turn right!" Gao Jianfei patted the right side of the "four unlikes" again.
"It...it...it can turn?" Lu Darui felt like he was about to collapse!
Feng Haoyu's face turned a deep shade of liver! His previous high spirits had been completely swept into the trash can!
Song Ying's face was filled with excitement and admiration! She was utterly awed! She practically wanted to rush up to Gao Jianfei and knock him down!
The entire audience held their breath, watching Gao Jianfei as if he were watching a magic trick.
"Stop!" Gao Jianfei patted the head of the "four-legged creature" and pressed a button. Immediately, the four-legged creature stopped.
Gao Jianfei jumped down and smiled at Lu Darui, "Judges, tell me, how much is this worth?"
Lu Darui swallowed five times in a row, then stammered, "Mr. Gao... to be honest... your work... is very... very difficult to measure in monetary terms... talking about money... is too, too vulgar..."
Chapter 436 Brewing Competition
Chapter 436 Brewing Competition
The stadium, which can hold 100,000 people, was completely silent!
Every spectator stared at Gao Jianfei in astonishment.
Wooden handicrafts that can walk, run, and even turn?
However, soon, some knowledgeable spectators began to exclaim... "This is the wooden ox and flowing horse! It's the legendary wooden ox and flowing horse! It really moves! It really moves!"
The legendary wooden ox and flowing horse?
That's right. The story of the wooden ox and flowing horse originated in the Three Kingdoms period, and it is said that Zhuge Liang invented them. However, this is just a legend. The wooden ox and flowing horse in museums are all imitations made by later generations, and no one has ever seen a real wooden ox and flowing horse.
Whether it can actually move or not, nobody knows! But today, everyone has truly witnessed a moving... well, let's call it a wooden ox and flowing horse for now!
So, first, many foreigners took out their cameras and started taking pictures.
In the field.
"This is priceless! Priceless!" Chief judge Lu Darui was extremely excited, his dark face flushed red! "The ability to mechanize wooden products is a skill that only the most outstanding master carpenters of our time could master! For example, my ancestor Lu Ban possessed such superb craftsmanship! To be honest, it's impossible for any carpenter in today's society to master this kind of woodworking technique! Because it involves some mechanical engineering! Haha! Mr. Gao, you should know that mechanical engineering was also invented by carpenters, right? Haha... My ancestor Lu Ban..." This guy was very proud of being a descendant of Lu Ban, and once he started talking, he wouldn't stop.
Beside the wind and rain, his body trembled slightly. His face was ashen, like a liver! He knew very well that he had lost the first round!
His work, if measured in monetary terms, is only worth 3 million.
Gao Jianfei's work, however, was deemed priceless!
The outcome... is decided!
Gao Jianfei, somewhat impatient, urged Nalu Darui, "Alright, alright, judges, please stop talking about Lu Ban. Lu Ban was an extraordinary person; I read about him in my elementary school textbook. So... cough cough, just hurry up and announce the result of the first match!"
"Uh... okay, okay, I won't say more, I won't say more. I hope Teacher Gao can give me more guidance in the future... Tsk tsk, this wooden ox and flowing horse wooden mechanism, wasn't it lost long ago? A remarkable person, no, a divine person!" Lu Darui muttered a few more words before taking a microphone and announcing loudly, "Dear audience members! Dear viewers in front of the television! You have all watched today's competition from beginning to end, it was very exciting! Really exciting! First of all, Mr. Feng Haoyu's wood carving skills have been unanimously recognized by our judging panel as having reached..." A masterpiece of carving! Therefore, we value Mr. Feng Haoyu's seven pieces at 3 million RB. And… Mr. Gao Jianfei… Hehe, first of all, on behalf of the judging panel, I want to apologize to Mr. Gao Jianfei. We were indeed very disrespectful to him before. After seeing the essence of his work, we were shocked! This cannot be judged by simple carpentry skills alone; I can only say… it's a miracle! Therefore, I declare that the winner of the first competition of this Genius Challenge, the carpentry work, is… Gao…”
unexpected!
"Wait!" Just as Lu Darui was about to declare Gao Jianfei the victor, Feng Haoyu shouted, "Wait!"
He had snapped out of his daze! He didn't want to lose like this! He didn't want to lose to Gao Jianfei when his wood carving skills had reached the pinnacle of the world and he could carve perfect works of art!
I'm not convinced!
Besides, he wondered if Gao Jianfei was just trying to fool him. It was impossible to make a wooden craft that could move and turn using pure wood.
"Hmph!" Feng Haoyu snorted coldly.
Currently, Lu Darui greatly admires Gao Jianfei and cannot stand Feng Haoyu's attitude. "Mr. Feng, I was just about to announce the competition results when you interrupted me out of nowhere. What do you have to say?"
Feng Haoyu said coldly, "When Gao Jianfei was making this wooden craft, he hid in the shed all by himself, who knows if he was up to something? Maybe he installed a mechanical motor or an electronic remote control device inside this wooden craft!"
"Huh? That...that makes sense!" Upon hearing this, some of the judges also agreed. After all, Gao Jianfei's work was truly astonishing.
The audience outside the venue also joined in the jeering. Especially the die-hard fans of Feng Haoyu, who even started chanting slogans… “Inspect! Inspect!”
"Cheating! Cheating!"
...
"This, this... Mr. Gao?" Lu Darui looked at Gao Jianfei somewhat awkwardly.
"Haha! Mechanical motor? Electronic remote control?" Gao Jianfei laughed heartily... "Alright! Feng Haoyu, I'll make you admit defeat! Everyone, watch closely!"
"Bang!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Jianfei kicked the "four unlikes" and smashed it into pieces of wood!
"Bang!" Another kick, and it was completely shattered!
The ground was littered with wood chips, wood fragments, and wooden gear-shaped mechanisms.
"Alright, judges, please check and see if there are any items other than wood." Gao Jianfei lit a cigarette next to him.
Lu Darui and the other judges walked over directly, bent down and carefully inspected the items, while Feng Haoyu walked over with his face alternating between pale and dark.
After searching, there was nothing but wood blocks.
"Alright, Mr. Feng, do you have any more questions?" Lu Darui stood up, glanced at Gao Jianfei with embarrassment, and then turned to Feng Haoyu to ask.
"Hmph! Gao Jianfei, you've got some nerve!" Feng Haoyu couldn't take it anymore. He completely ignored the judges and left the stage.
As Feng Haoyu brushed past Gao Jianfei, he whispered menacingly in Gao Jianfei's ear, "Gao Jianfei, you win this time. You're skilled. However, carpentry is one of my weak points. Just you wait! You won't be so lucky in the brewing competition the day after tomorrow! I've got you covered!"
"Hehe, we'll see!" Gao Jianfei retorted without backing down.
"Alright! I hereby announce that the winner of the first competition, the carpentry contest, is Mr. Gao Jianfei!" Chief judge Lu Darui announced loudly.
Immediately, most of the audience stood up and applauded; those who had bought lottery tickets for this match and predicted Feng Haoyu's victory cursed. Meanwhile, Feng Haoyu's die-hard fans left the venue dejectedly.
Before Feng Haoyu entered the safety passage, he heard the enthusiastic applause. Every clap felt like a slap in the face!
He had initially entered the competition with a mindset of looking down on Gao Jianfei, fully expecting to crush him. However, he suffered a defeat right from the start. His spirits plummeted.
Gao Jianfei smiled and waved to the audience before preparing to leave the stadium.
"Mr. Gao, you, you've broken this perfect wooden mechanism, what a pity!" Gao Jianfei followed behind Lu Darui, looking regretful.
"Hehe, I can make one of these every day, so there's nothing to regret," Gao Jianfei said dismissively. He then quickened his pace, leaving the group of idlers behind, and returned to the rest room via the safety passage.
After sitting in a chair and smoking for a while, Gao Jianfei called Liu Liping and asked her to drive over and pick him up.
While waiting for his ride, Gao Jianfei received calls from friends, all offering their congratulations. However, they also reminded him that this match was just the beginning; it meant he had made a good start, but that didn't guarantee he would win in the end.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Liu Liping, dressed in military uniform and looking very smart, came to the lounge and saluted Gao Jianfei, "Mr. Gao, you've been waiting for a long time!"
"Oh, no, let's go now." Gao Jianfei stood up with a smile, and left the stadium under Liu Liping's "escort".
After Gao Jianfei and Liu Liping left, the staff in the lounge all said jealously, "Damn, Mr. Gao is rich and powerful, of course he can play with such a top-notch female military officer! Tsk tsk, those legs are really long, and she's got a great figure too. She must be at least 1.8 meters tall, tsk tsk..."
On the bus.
Liu Liping was driving, and Gao Jianfei was sitting in the passenger seat.
Gao Jianfei didn't initiate conversation with Liu Liping. After holding back for a while, Liu Liping finally couldn't help but speak up... "Mr. Gao, I just watched your first match against Feng Haoyu live... You were amazing! Really, I never imagined that wooden cows and sheep could walk, trot, and even turn corners..."
"Haha, didn't you laugh at me at the beginning? Did you think that Feng Haoyu's wood carving would definitely win? And my work, which is neither a horse nor an ox, is quite sleazy..." Gao Jianfei laughed at himself.
Liu Liping maintained a cold expression, but after holding it in for half a minute… “Pfft…”
I finally laughed!
Her smile warmed Gao Jianfei's heart, making the entire car feel a little warmer. Undeniably, it was a clean and charming smile.
“Mr. Gao, you’re right. At first, you kept fiddling around in that shed, and then you came up with something that looked really bad. I was really worried for you back then. I thought you really didn’t know anything about carpentry and that it was just a prank… But I never expected… Wow, when I saw it run, I really, really thought it was amazing!” Liu Liping’s eyes were sparkling.
"Heh, this female officer has a womanly side too, she's not so cold after all," Gao Jianfei thought to himself with a smile.
Back at the villa, Gao Jianfei continued playing computer games as usual, without making a point of chatting with Liu Liping or logging onto the World Genius Challenge website. He knew that by now, the website must have already published a massive amount of commentary and feature reports on the first match. News of Gao Jianfei's ability to create wooden oxen and flowing horses was undoubtedly everywhere.
However, after the match, Gao Jianfei needed to rest well and didn't want to exhaust his energy in the next match.
Living alone in Villa No. 4, he never actively "summoned" Liu Liping except when pressing a remote control button for meals.
In Liu Liping's room.
The night was cool and still.
She had already shed her imposing military uniform and changed into a pink floral dress, looking exceptionally charming. Her graceful figure, accentuated by the tight dress, highlighted her incredibly alluring curves!
In particular, when she completely untied her two full breasts, they were incredibly voluptuous!
Her beautiful legs, at this moment, perfectly embody the word "soul-stirring"!
This is her boudoir.
In the entire manor, no one dared to enter her boudoir except for herself! It was a forbidden zone! Not even her brother, Liu Feng, could enter her boudoir! It was her own private little space!
The boudoir was decorated primarily in pink, filled with ornaments and decorative items. However, anyone who entered this boudoir would be quite surprised!
Liu Liping, who has the tough and disciplined demeanor of a soldier and is usually serious and unsmiling, actually has this side to her... because all the furnishings in the room are full of childlike charm!
