Reborn in 2011, I am the chief designer of aerospace.

After turning on the multimedia system, Li Ang cleared his throat and said:

"In the second round of assessment, in addition to the 30 points for the 3 practical questions, you will receive an extra 1 point for each minute you finish one minute early within the 30-minute time limit."

His gaze swept across the audience, his tone carrying a hint of admiration.

"Based on the scores given by the graders yesterday morning for each student's practical performance and timer scores, the student who ranked first received 41 points—perfect marks in all three practical sections, and finished 11 minutes early, resulting in an additional 41 fuel points on their total score!"

"As for the lowest score, I won't go into details. As for the rankings of the second round results and the rankings after the total scores are added together, please see the projection here..."

Li Ang deliberately kept everyone in suspense, only revealing the results of the second round.

Song Xingye looked up and found that his score was not bad, he got 38 points.

I got full marks on all three practical exercises, but it took a little longer than usual, 22 minutes.

The first and second place winners were unfamiliar names. Song Xingye thought to himself that their hands-on skills must be very strong, and they might have majored in mechanical engineering in college.

After the total scores were added up, he found that his name had returned to the top of the list.

Although the two "dark horses" who scored full marks in practical skills were outstanding in their individual categories, they were dragged down by their performance in the first round and barely made it into the top ten.

The second highest scorer was Xu Zhe from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and the third highest scorer was Guo Yanyang, who shared a dormitory with Xu Zhe.

Chang Jian, standing next to him, nudged him with his elbow: "Wow, bro, that's impressive! This time it's undisputed first place, no longer a tie!"

Song Xingye's gaze met Guo Yanyang's briefly, and they nodded politely to each other.

Then, in a calm tone, he said, "It's only the second round, don't jinx it. He's only one point behind Xu Zhe, is that something to brag about?"

Chang Jian retorted confidently, "So what if it's 1 point? In the college entrance exam, 1 point can put you ahead of a thousand people!"

Song Xingye was speechless for a moment, too lazy to argue anymore.

Aside from the top ten, he only glanced at the rest of the rankings, but he paid special attention to the positions of his roommates Tao Shuo and Fan Xiaoying, as well as the two girls Jiang Mian and Zhao Yuehe, and got a general idea of ​​their rankings.

Then, Li Ang put the form away and said with a smile:

"Of course, this ranking is no longer valid. Next, let's talk about the third round of assessments yesterday afternoon."

He paused deliberately at this point, a sly, even slightly irritating smile appearing on his face.

"Classmates, do you remember what setbacks you suffered during the first round of assessments?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd below the stage became agitated. What could they possibly lose? They'd just been tricked by their mentor.

Li Ang grinned, trying hard to suppress the smile on his lips, and then spoke earnestly:

"As the old saying goes, 'A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit,' right...? I originally thought everyone would be a bit smarter after the first round of testing... Pfft... Hahahaha..."

Before he could finish speaking, he burst out laughing, even slapping the table with his laughter.

This left the students looking at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

Chang Jian seemed to have figured it out, and slapped his thigh in frustration:

"Damn! Mr. Liang is an old fox, and this guy is a little fox. I know what's wrong! When I become chairman, the first thing I'll do is transfer him to guard the gate!"

Song Xingye rolled her eyes at him. "You think you can be the chairman? Do you even know how prestigious that position is?"

Chang Jian pursed his lips and said, "What's the gold content?"

"Hehe, according to the weighted formula, the weight of this position is higher than that of your principal."

After saying that, Song Xingye crossed his arms and remained silent.

On stage, Li Ang finally finished laughing, but the smug look on his face was truly despicable.

He smiled and said:

"Actually, in the third round of assessment, there wasn't a 10th FOD (Foul Item) at all. You only found nine pieces of miscellaneous items..."

"But I never expected that someone would actually hand in ten 'odds'... I have no idea where you guys found those parts, you're so clever, hahaha!"

The students in the audience erupted in uproar once again.

The confusion of countless people was answered at this moment, followed by a burst of groans and complaints.

Chang Jian grabbed his hair in frustration: "I knew it! I knew it! I searched high and low yesterday, but I couldn't find the tenth one... I thought I was just seeing things, but it turns out it wasn't there at all!"

Song Xingye nodded in agreement, "They are indeed too cunning, impossible to guard against."

"See? Even someone as smart as you fell for it. Li Ang is making a fool of us!"

"I wasn't fooled. I was out in 21 minutes." Song Xingye smiled leisurely. "I was probably only fooled for a few minutes before I realized what was going on."

"What... Holy crap, what kind of monsters did this summer camp recruit? Am I the only idiot?"

Chang Jian was completely dumbfounded.

Song Xingye smiled without saying a word.

Indeed, Song Xingye became wary after searching the arrow wreckage twice yesterday without finding anything.

Considering the cunning nature of these old foxes, he instinctively guessed that this was a hidden test.

That's why I put myself in the shoes of an engineer conducting ground inspections. Assuming that Li Ang hadn't mentioned "10 FOD interferences" beforehand, could I find any new debris just by relying on my professional intuition?

Song Xingye walked around but found nothing.

Therefore, he was very certain that Li Ang's so-called 10th FOD was just a distraction, so he decisively withdrew.

Of course, before leaving, Song Xingye made a point of activating his "Fault Prediction Eye" to thoroughly scan the area.

Indeed, nothing was found.

After confirming his guess, he left speechlessly.

Although they managed to stop the damage in time, they still spent some time in the wreckage of the arrow, and 21 minutes passed before they came out.

Therefore, Song Xingye's score in the third round was 9×5+9 points, for a total of 54 points!

The overall score rankings have been updated again.

He remains at the top of the list, retaining his first place, with a total fuel value of 132 points, a full 5 points ahead of the second place.

Tied for second place are Guo Yanyang from Beihang University and Xu Zhe from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

The two people have the same score, 127 points.

Guo Yanyang was able to catch up with Xu Zhe mainly because of yesterday's three rounds of assessments. He also noticed Li Ang's little tricks and immediately withdrew, gaining a slight advantage in terms of time.

Looking down the rankings, Song Xingye saw that Cao Que had fallen out of the top ten and was currently ranked 11th.

Fan Xiaoying ranked 20th, while Chang Jian, Jiang Mian, Zhao Yuehe, and others achieved mediocre results, neither high nor low.

Chang Jian said with a fawning expression, "Bro, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. No wonder you're a top student who won a gold medal at CTOC, your strength is not to be underestimated!"

Song Xingye clicked his tongue. "I remember you said something like that to everyone in the dorm before, right? You all thought they were going to be number one, didn't you?"

"Ahem... You must be mistaken. Of all these top students, you're the only one I've ever truly admired!"

Song Xingye smiled and brushed it off.

After the results were announced, the smile on Li Ang's face vanished, and he continued to read out the news that the bottom 14 students had been eliminated with a heavy heart.

Li Ang led the applause, bidding farewell to these temporary companions with applause.

The atmosphere at the scene was not as tragic as I had imagined.

After all, they hadn't spent much time together, and after three rounds of rigorous assessments, everyone had a basic understanding of their own capabilities and knew that elimination was inevitable.

After bidding farewell to the eliminated contestants, Li Ang waved his hand dismissively:

"You're free this afternoon, no need to come to the meeting room to sign in. See you tomorrow!"

After the meeting, Chang Jian enthusiastically suggested, "How about I take you to climb the Great Wall this afternoon, and then visit the Forbidden City and Shichahai Lake? In the evening, we can take a stroll along Chang'an Avenue and go to Deyun Club to listen to a crosstalk performance. What do you think?"

The six people in the dormitory huddled together, and Guo Yanyang politely declined:

"I won't go. I've been to all these places. I plan to go back to school to get some materials."

"Okay, I won't take you." Chang Jian looked at the others, "What about you guys?"

Tao Shuo timidly raised his hand and said, "I'm going to see my dad this afternoon..."

Chang Jian understood immediately and winked, saying, "I know... I heard your dad is a leader in the group, right? Give him our regards."

"Uh... okay."

Tao Shuo nodded, blushing.

Cao Que said, "I think climbing the Great Wall is so tacky. What era are we living in? Who hasn't been to Beijing? I was here when I was in junior high. Can't we do something more interesting?"

Fan Xiaoying chimed in, "I explored all over Beijing during the summer after my college entrance exams..."

Finally, Chang Jian's gaze fell on Song Xingye. "Aren't you going to climb either?"

Song Xingye shook his head. "It's only half a day off. Don't make things difficult for yourself. If you exhaust yourself, you won't have the energy for the assessment tomorrow. Just take a walk around."

Chang Jian's eyes darted around, as if he had come up with a good idea, and he snapped his fingers:

"Okay, I'll do as you say, we can just wander around. But I know a place you're sure to be interested in!"
