Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

"I just don't know if they can really boost their ranking just by talking?"

Luo Fei glanced at him, his eyes calm and unwavering, but his tone carried an undeniable firmness.

"Whether you can do it or not, we'll see on the field."

"There's no need for Captain Zeng to worry about that."

"Hmph! I hope you guys don't fail to even make the top thirty when you go on stage later, that would be a real mess!"

Zeng Zhiqiang met with a lukewarm response, snorted coldly, and led his team away.

Luo Fei watched his retreating figure and shrugged indifferently.

This pointless arrogance was like dust to him.

During the lunch break, Luo Fei noticed that Shen Junjie, Chen Fan, and the other four players who were about to represent the Ganjiang team, although they appeared calm on the surface, had a hint of tension and anxiety hidden deep in their eyes.

Clearly, his earlier pledge to finish in the top three, along with the outstanding performances of the strong teams that morning, put immense, invisible pressure on them.

Luo Fei didn't say anything to comfort them, but instead led the five of them directly to the team's temporary rest room.

"Sit down, cross your legs, and close your eyes."

"Luo Fei gave the order."

Although the team members were puzzled, they did as instructed.

"Take a deep breath, clear your mind, and don't think about anything. Feel your breathing, feel your heart beating."

Luo Fei's voice carried a strange, comforting power.

"Forget the rankings, forget the goals, forget everything outside the game. All you need to remember is the sweat you've shed this past month, the hardships you've endured, and the power within you."

This is a simple meditation method that Luo Fei taught them during the later stages of the training camp, designed to quickly calm their minds under extreme pressure.

At first, the team members had some distracting thoughts, but gradually, under Luo Fei's steady guidance and their own strong discipline, their restless emotions slowly calmed down, their breathing became even and long, and the tension on their faces gradually eased.

After the meditation, the five opened their eyes, their gazes noticeably clearer and more determined than before, and the timidity they had felt due to excessive focus on the outcome had largely dissipated.

Luo Fei looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

He knew the true strength of these five players better than anyone else. During the internal assessment at the end of the training camp, he strictly ordered them to only perform at 30% of their potential, deliberately hiding their weaknesses.

Today is the moment to draw the sword and reveal its full power!

He is looking forward to seeing what kind of energy this group of players, whom he has trained in all sorts of "unconventional" ways, will unleash on the international stage!
The match resumed on time at 2 PM.

At this time, the number of netizens in Daxia following the game online had exceeded 12 million! The news that the Flying Tigers finished tenth even topped the trending searches, attracting more people who did not originally follow this type of event to flock to the live broadcast room, and the number of online viewers on various platforms continued to climb.

The first team to appear in the afternoon was the Shanghai Special Police Team, which ranked 38th in the previous competition.

Captain Feng Ke knew the importance of the first battle and personally took to the field.

However, the immense attention seemed to have become an invisible mountain weighing on the hearts of the Shanghai team members.

"boom!"

The starting gun fired.

The five members of the Shanghai team rushed out, but their movements were noticeably stiff.

The first activity was shooting at fifty porcelain targets!

"Bang bang bang..."

Gunshots rang out, but the rhythm seemed somewhat chaotic.

One team member, perhaps due to excessive nervousness, had a slightly trembling hand and made a fatal mistake! After the bullets were used up, three white porcelain plates remained intact in the distance!

"Oh no! We missed!"

In the domestic live broadcast room, the commentator exclaimed in surprise.

At just the first shooting point, the Shanghai team wasted precious time and widened the gap with the Flying Tigers, who had zero mistakes in the morning!
[TianTian Headlines] Although Ai Yongsheng is no longer here, Hu Wei and Shi Yinhong are still "holding their posts" in the live broadcast room.

Seeing the Shanghai team's mistake, Hu Wei's face revealed a barely perceptible "I knew it" expression as he shook his head and sighed.

"Oh dear, what a pity! I was still nervous!"
This shows that the psychological resilience of our Great Xia Special Police force does indeed lag behind that of top international teams.

Shi Yinhong spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Therefore, it is important to recognize the gap. We cannot assume that our overall level has improved just because the Flying Tigers performed well for a while. Look, reality is harsh."

Kyoto, National Security Division Office.

Director Lei Wanting stared coldly at the two disgusting faces in the live stream.

He gave instructions to Zhou Wenqi, the deputy director beside him.

"Wenqi, notify Duan Zhenggang of the Counter-Espionage Bureau and have him send someone to thoroughly 'find out' the backgrounds and recent activities of these two professors."

I don't like their remarks at all.

Zhou Wenqi immediately accepted the order.

"Yes, Director! I also find their statements extremely suspicious; their bias is completely out of control! I'll take care of it right away!"

On the field, the nightmare for the Shanghai team has only just begun.

Perhaps because of their poor start, they made a series of mistakes in coordination and missed the target in the subsequent obstacle shooting and target breakthrough stages!

Every mistake is accompanied by the loss of precious seconds and the potential penalty time.

The most fatal blow occurred during the rappelling rescue!

When a team member was rappelling down from a third-floor window, the dummy, weighing over 100 pounds, slipped from his grasp and fell heavily to the ground from a height of more than a meter due to a slight misjudgment of the position by the team member below and his own nervousness.
"oh--!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

According to the rules, if the dummy falls, it means the rescue has failed and will be severely punished!
In the end, the Shanghai team, with heavy hearts and bodies riddled with mistakes, completed the final 200-meter sprint.

Their original time was 2 minutes and 56 seconds, but due to multiple misses and the dummy falling at the end, they were penalized nearly two minutes in total!

The final score was [score missing].

4 minutes 47 seconds.

The big screen refreshed, and the name of the Shanghai Special Police Team was displayed as 38th place! Among the 38 teams that had already completed the competition, they were at the bottom! Last place!

Luo Fei, watching from the sidelines, clearly saw that the Shanghai team's strength was far greater than what they had shown. Their poor performance was probably related to their mentality, crushed by the millions of eyes watching online and some malicious comments.

In the live broadcast room, Hu Wei and Shi Yin Hong were even more energized.

Hu Wei.

"Look, this is a true reflection of the gap in strength. Mental fortitude, technical skill, and on-the-spot adaptability are all inferior."

Shi Yinhong. "Sigh, I hope the Shanghai team won't be discouraged. There will be other opportunities... although the chances aren't great."

The Shanghai team members walked off the field dejectedly, while captain Feng Ke stared at the glaring "38" and "4" on the big screen.

"47", his face was pale, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and resentment.

However, at that moment, the area in the stands belonging to the people of Great Xia did not produce the expected boos or complaints. Instead, a unified and desperate shout erupted.

"Go, Da Xia team!!"

"Shanghai team! Don't lose heart!!"

There will be other opportunities! Keep it up!

This sudden and unreserved support and encouragement struck Feng Ke and all the members of the Shanghai team like a warm current!

Feng Ke suddenly raised his head and looked at his compatriots in the stands who were waving national flags and shouting loudly. His eyes instantly turned red!
Also infected were the members of the Ganjiang team who were about to play.

Chen Fan swung his fist forcefully, and Shen Junjie and the others also felt a surge of heat in their chests.

Luo Fei walked over to Feng Ke, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a calm but powerful tone.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; we just need to do well on the subsequent projects."

Feng Ke nodded heavily, wiped his face, and his eyes regained their firmness.

"Thank you! We'll stay, see who our opponents are, and cheer you on!"

Just then, the stadium's broadcast system announced the results in English.

"Shanghai Special Police Team, final result: 4 minutes and 47 seconds, ranking—Last place!"

The person giving the report seemed to emphasize the phrase "last place" deliberately, with an undisguised hint of contempt.

Almost simultaneously, in the rest area not far behind Luo Fei and Feng Ke, several loud, unrestrained laughs filled with sarcasm rang out.

Those were several players wearing American and Japanese team uniforms. They pointed at the Shanghai team's results on the big screen, winked at each other, and laughed so hard they were doubled over, their movements extremely exaggerated, as if they had seen the biggest joke in the world!

Feng Ke's face instantly turned ashen, a surge of anger rushing to his head. He abruptly turned around and, facing the foreign team members who were laughing loudly, demanded an explanation in English.

"What are you laughing at?!"

When Feng Ke questioned the American and Japanese team members, they not only didn't restrain themselves, but laughed even more wildly.

A tall American player shrugged and mocked in heavily accented English.

"Hey buddy, relax! We just find the 'Last place' result funny, is it wrong to laugh? Are you Chinese so sensitive to jokes?"

Another member of the Japanese team echoed this in a sarcastic tone.

"Exactly, you can't even be criticized for bad grades? You're so sensitive!"

This blatant provocation and insult made Feng Ke and the surrounding Shanghai team members' eyes turn red, and it looked like the conflict was about to escalate!

The live broadcast cameras also keenly captured the commotion and immediately zoomed in.

In the live broadcast room of [Tian Tian Toutiao], the host, seeing the sudden situation, hurriedly spoke.

"It seems there was some minor friction at the scene..."

Professor Hu Wei immediately frowned, looking heartbroken.

"Oh dear! Captain Feng was too impulsive! How could he provoke us like that?"
This damages the image of our Great Xia team!

Shi Yin Hong also shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes, if you don't do well in your studies, you should humbly accept it. How can you take your anger out on others?"
This kind of mentality is unacceptable!

Online, countless netizens watched through the camera lens as the arrogant faces of the foreign team members and the angry yet restrained expressions of Feng Ke and others, and they were all furious. The barrage of comments was full of support and angry curses.

Just as tensions were about to rise, a hand landed on Feng Ke's tense shoulder.

It's Luo Fei.

He had walked over at some point, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Old Feng, why bother arguing with a bunch of ill-mannered people? It's beneath you."

Luo Fei's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange penetrating power that cooled Feng Ke's boiling blood slightly.

Luo Fei pulled Feng Ke away and then strode towards the foreign team members who were still joking around.

His steps were not fast, but each step seemed to be on some strange rhythm. His gaze was as deep as an ancient well, and he instantly locked onto the eyes of the team members.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Luo Fei spoke fluent English to the several tall and burly foreign special police officers in a tone as if he were lecturing a disobedient junior.

"Children, it is very impolite to laugh at someone's failure. Do you know that? It's bad, it will send you to hell."

His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable, eerie power.

Just as the American and Japanese team members were about to retort, they suddenly met Luo Fei's eyes, which seemed to be swirling with vortexes!
Their expressions froze instantly, the mockery and arrogance in their eyes receding like the tide, quickly becoming empty and dull, as if they had lost their souls!
What happened next was something that would be unforgettable for everyone in the audience and for all viewers watching the live stream!

The foreign elite special police officers who had been so arrogant just moments before were now as still as puppets under Luo Fei's calm gaze.

With a series of "plop" sounds, they all knelt down in unison, facing Luo Fei's direction!

They bowed their heads and spoke in unison in a rigid and submissive tone.

"I'm sorry...we were wrong...we shouldn't have laughed at others..."

quiet!
Deathly silence!

The entire arena seemed to have been silenced! Everyone stared in disbelief at this unbelievable scene!
The live broadcast camera was fixed on several kneeling foreign team members and Luo Fei, who stood there calmly!
In the live broadcast room of [Tian Tian Toutiao], Hu Wei and Shi Yin Hong stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Professor Ai Yongsheng, who had just connected to the live broadcast signal, was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Good! Well done! An eye for an eye! Let's see if they dare to be so arrogant again!"

Hu Wei and Shi Yin Hong came to their senses, their faces turning pale and then red. They wanted to accuse Luo Feixing of being too extreme, but it was a fact that he had knelt down and apologized, and it was indeed the other party who had provoked them first. After holding back for a long time, they could only force out awkward but polite stiff smiles, unable to say a word.

The live stream room completely exploded!
"Holy crap!!!! He... he knelt down?!"

"What happened? Am I seeing things?"

"What did Luo Fei do to them? Magic? Hypnosis?"

"Whatever it is! That's so fucking satisfying!!"

"Awesome!!! Luo Fei is awesome!!!"

"Where are those two professors? Come out and show yourselves? Are you still going to accuse us of provoking you?"

Countless netizens were stunned by this unexpected turn of events, followed by an overwhelming surge of excitement and relief!
Luo Fei knew that this level of hypnosis wouldn't control them for long. Seeing that the team members' eyes were beginning to show signs of struggle, he immediately pulled up Feng Ke, who was still in a petrified state, and whispered... (End of Chapter)
