No Money to Build a Mech? No Worries, I Will Help

"Shocking! Rising superstar Zhou Chuchu was spotted having a secret meeting with a suspected scammer at a villa. Is this true or not? We hope the two goddesses can respond." In just a few minutes, this super eye-catching hot topic quickly pushed aside other trending topics and made its way to the top ten headlines, causing a heated discussion among netizens. Netizens speculated about what kind of scumbag could deceive two A-list national goddesses, not only swindling their fortunes but also exposing their secret meetings. Zhou Chuchu: Xiao Yuyao, I'm sorry. I don't have much money left. This is all I can give you. I hope you won't be disappointed. Yang Mimi: You really are a gold digger. You spent all the money from my last pay so quickly. Well, all my money is here. Take it. Suddenly, Xiao Yuyao had a thought, and a cold light flashed. A dark-colored hilt appeared in his hand, with a faint blue light shining at the center of the hilt, seemingly an energy cube for storing power. Buzz. The hilt made a buzzing sound, and a bright white energy beam formed at the front end, condensing into a sword-like shape under everyone's gaze. The unstable slight fluctuations of the beam quickly stabilized, forming a unique lightsaber with a freely adjustable form. It was about one meter long with a 10-centimeter-wide blade of light, and its power was yet to be determined. Xiao Yuyao tilted his head to look at the lightsaber, something extremely cool that only appeared in science fiction movies and was possessed by the protagonist. He lightly swung it, a smirk appearing on his lips. A cold voice resounded from above: "Energy storage remaining: 99%. Stability: 80%."

Half an hour later, Xiao Yuyao stopped what he was doing, as if he didn't know what to do.

This made the audience in the livestream room feel a little puzzled.

[Is he stuck?]

[He just needs to make a stick. There's no specific requirement anyway.]

[It has to be heavy, but also light. That sounds complicated.]

[No it doesn't!]

The citizens started arguing again.

Zhou Chuchu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Yuyao? Do you need help?"

Xiao Yuyao shook his head. He had no idea what he needed at the moment. If he really wanted to make the staff, he could do it, but he could not guarantee the safety of the final product.

Zhou Chuchu raised her head and looked at the person who requested the staff.

'Seriously, if he hadn't given the lucky draw to someone else, Xiao Yuyao wouldn't be in this position right now.'

Gu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiao Yuyao's hesitation.

"Are you stuck? It can't be, right? Aren't you supposed to be a mad genius? Admit it, you've lost!"

Xiao Yuyao didn't reply. Instead, he started to pick materials from the pile instead.

Gu Qingyan kept provoking him, but no one was listening. All their attention was on Xiao Yuyao.

Those that could only watch got angrier.

Why wasn't he using advanced technology? Those were all simple materials!

[What a wicked woman!]

[She has a bad temper!]

[They should have kicked her out a long time ago!]

Zhou Chuchu shook her head helplessly.

After a while, Xiao Yuyao finally turned around.

"Sorry, what did you say?"

Xiao Yuyao was focused on finding materials and creating ideas that he didn't hear what they were saying.

Gu Qingyan almost choked on her breath. "I've been babbling for so long, but you didn't hear a single word?"

Xiao Yuyao then looked at the livestream room, and the audience began to talk about what had happened.

After reading about what she said, his expression turned ugly.

'I've made so much high-tech technology to show the world, yet I'm defeated by this?'

Just as he was about to say something, he thought of something. He couldn't be blamed. It had been such a long time since he said anything, everyone must have thought that he was stuck and didn't know how to continue. This whole time, his mind was consumed with the construction of the staff.

[Haha, Xiao Yuyao.exe has stopped working]

[If he can't fulfill this one task, everything else must be a fluke!]

[This means that the previous things are all fake or plagiarized.]

Seeing this, a portion of the audience started to berate him.

Not long after, those who were arguing that he was a fraud were kicked out.

The only person left was Gu Qingyan. 

Some saw it as a joke. They knew that Xiao Yuyao was a technical talent. With so many high-tech products, they would believe he could make almost anything.

Zhou Chuchu kept an eye on the screen. If there were any fight groups starting, she would immediately kick them all out.

Some of the haters eventually took it to online forums. Thus, a shocking explosion occurred outside.

[Will The Genius Finally Fall?]

[Stop The Ridicule! Stop The Hate!]

[What Is He Trying To Prove?]

Many hate comments popped up one after another like worms after a rain.

When the others saw this, they all clicked into the livestream room, wanting to see the drama. When the audience in the livestreaming room increased, Zhou Chuchu's anxiety skyrocketed.

She knew that it would be too late to say he could not make it in front of so many people.

If the news spread, it would definitely affect Xiao Yuyao's reputation.

The platform was also frantically adding servers, buying traffic, and trending searches to add fire to the flame.

The heat increased again.

Zhou Chuchu wanted to contact the company that she was under, but the moment she saw an off-handed comment about Xiao Yuyao's capabilities, she stopped what she was doing and went to the camera to speak.

No one was allowed to trash-talk Xiao Yuyao like that!

He does not deserve all this hate!

Before she could say something in front of the camera, Xiao Yuyao called her over. 

"Chuchu, there's something I need you to do." Xiao Yuyao pointed at a pile of materials and said to Zhou Chuchu. "Can you test their hardness and weight and find the most suitable one for us?"

Xiao Yuyao knew that he would be in trouble if this continued. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have restricted them and let them roam freely.

He wouldn't have been put in such a difficult situation.

He sighed helplessly and began to think of other ways to salvage the part.

It wasn't necessarily the golden hoop. As long as these requirements were met, it did not matter what it looked like.

Gu Qingyan was still smiling.

Zhou Chuchu kept examining the materials with an annoyed face.

They became extremely busy, but it was something they were used to.

There were fewer taunts in the bullet screen, but enough to keep the flame alive.

Gu Qingyan said, "We should give him a chance. He can definitely do it. Not like I've been waiting here forever and he hasn't done a single useful thing, right?"

[Wow, she has such a pretty voice.]

[The more I listen, the better she sounds.]

[I thought she was against him. This is completely contradictory.]

[Does he really look capable?]

Zhou Chuchu turned her head, threw down the materials in her hand, and ran toward the camera.

This time, she wanted to confront them properly. However, before she could do anything, she received a message from a big shot.

[We will handle it.]

A few big shots from the research institute spoke up at this moment.

"Go and check who she is and who sent her here and how she knew about the staff."

That's right. Except for these people, no one else knew about the staff's existence.

How did Gu Qingyan know about it? This was a big question.

If their guesses were true, it might be because an enemy has successfully entered their inner circle.

Therefore, they needed to deal with it before it got worse.

Zhou Chuchu came to the camera and said, "I can assure you that Xiao Yuyao will not fail. He will definitely succeed."

Gu Qingyan only sneered when she heard this.

Because she wasn't in the frame, no one saw her roll her eyes and scoff.

There were not many people who believed what she said either.
