Chapter 1158: The Bottom Three Scoundrels; The Mysterious Special Judge

Whether it was Gou Dachun’s urging or the teasing laughter from Class 1 that spurred him, Hu Yi gritted his teeth and, at the last minute before the competition ended, managed to finish the dissection experiment.

Although his completion wasn’t great, the frog’s cartilage was broken, and his final score barely passed at 60 points.

Yet oddly, the qualification requirement for entering the finals was “above 60 points.”

As soon as Gou Dachun announced the finalist list and called out Hu Yi’s name, Class 1 students vehemently protested: “Above 60 points doesn’t include 60! Teacher Gou, be fair, be fair!”

Gou Dachun felt quite troubled on stage.

Honestly, as the mentor of Class 1, he should consider Class 1’s interests and reduce their competitors, especially like Hu Yi, who originally enrolled with Class 1 but halfway “betrayed” to Class 2, which made him particularly detestable.

Insisting that “above 60 points doesn’t include 60” and disqualifying Hu Yi from the finals would be completely reasonable.

However, for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Looking at Hu Yi, he couldn’t help but think about why Hu Yi went to Class 2.

That talented “ugly girl,” who drove his broken car at racing level, turned the competition into a world-class surgical scene, brought the failing Class 2 to become a top student class…

She lingered in his mind, making him feel soft-hearted.

Gou Dachun hesitated.

Class 2 was very anxious.

Because besides Hu Yi, their class also had Huo Zhen and Yu Xiaochun, both hovering right at the 60-point mark.

If 60 points didn’t count for qualification to the finals, they would tragically lose the rhythm of three finalists.

They couldn’t help but retort: “The passing line for exams has always been 60, can 60 points just be considered a fail?”

Class 1 contestants sneered: “Are exams and competitions the same? Stop making flimsy arguments, 60 points can’t get you qualified, it’s set in stone, no one can change it!”

Class 2: “…”

Feeling utterly dejected.

Suddenly.

A man in a suit, looking like a corporate secretary, came out from the VIP lounge behind the laboratory podium and said something to Gou Dachun.

Gou Dachun kept nodding, looking very respectful.

Then everyone saw him clear his throat and announce: “Well, the special judge just heard everyone’s arguments and made a ruling—’above 60 points for finals qualification’ includes 60 points! You don’t need to argue anymore. It’s as the special judge said! Congratulations, Hu Yi, you’ve made it to the finals.”

It was truly a turn of events, an unexpected surprise.

Hu Yi almost jumped up, spinning in circles.

“Oh my, what an amazing judge, truly has exceptional skills.”

“It’s like Sister Xin showed up, haha…”

“No, no, no, it’s Sister Xin blessing us! What showing up, making it sound like Sister Xin is separated from us by life and death.”

“Right, right, Sister Xin is blessing us, granting us victory.”

Class 2 was overjoyed, but Class 1 was quite upset.

“What kind of person is this special judge, to boldly claim ‘above 60 points includes 60 points,’ is he bribed by Class 1?”

“Looking at the special judge, he came with a secretary, seemingly of high status, doesn’t look like someone short on cash.”

“Hmph, what do they have to be proud of, even if they enter the finals they’re just bottom-seed, finishing last.”

“Exactly, scraping by with 60 points into the finals, Hu Yi, Huo Zhen, and Yu Xiaochun, aren’t they just the Bottom Three Scoundrels?”

“Haha, Bottom Three Scoundrels!”
