The expressions of the three judges turned incredibly stiff at the same moment.
Immediately, as if their body temperature had drastically increased, their skin began to turn red and hot, their faces filled with a flush of delight.
They all felt as if a song of happiness was ringing in their ears. One by one, they involuntarily stood up and began to dance around the table.
This scene stunned everyone present.
What was happening? Why had the three judges suddenly done such a thing?
Wu Tian also hadn't expected such a strong reaction from these three, and for a moment, he was also dumbfounded.
After a while, the three judges finally snapped back to reality.
They all realized what they had been doing and immediately felt extremely embarrassed, then quickly sat back down in their chairs.
The judge in the middle had completely lost his previous arrogant demeanor.
He eagerly asked Wu Tian, "Young man, what kind of orange is this? How have I never eaten such a delicious orange before?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "This is an orange that our Peach Blossom Village cultivated ourselves. Otherwise, why would I bring it to the competition?"
"Since you've already tasted it, there's no need for further talk. Just give your scores directly."
"No matter what score you give, I have no objections."
The three judges exchanged glances. The judge on the far left held up a sign: 1 point.
The judge in the middle held up a sign: 0 points.
The judge on the right held up a sign: 0 points.
Looking at them in order, the scores were 1, 0, 0.
Upon seeing this, the venue immediately fell silent. No one had expected Wu Tian to receive such low scores.
What was this? Wasn't this no different from zero points?
That extra point was surely just out of courtesy!
Xiao Yi was completely stunned. She couldn't believe that these three judges would be so excessive, giving such insulting scores.
She glared at Chen He again, believing that this must have been arranged by Chen He beforehand, intending to deliberately embarrass Wu Tian!
However, Chen He had not actually arranged anything like this, so even he was deeply shocked when he saw the scoring.
Then, he let out a snicker and burst into a sharp laugh, almost to the point of tears.
He clutched his stomach and laughed, "Hahahaha, Ms. Xiao, this is the orange you had such high hopes for!"
"To only get such a low score, it's killing me with laughter, hahahaha!"
Listening to Chen He's laughter, Xiao Yi's expression also became very unpleasant.
She tightly clenched her fists, and due to the excessive force, even her knuckles began to turn slightly white.
Chen He, on the other hand, driven by his excitement, walked forward and began to taunt Wu Tian, "Hahaha, I thought you were so amazing. After all this, you only have this much ability?"
"Brilliant, truly brilliant. Such a low score, I could never achieve that in my life!"
He was simply too happy. He particularly disliked Wu Tian, so the more Wu Tian was embarrassed, the happier he was.
Wu Tian merely looked at him as if he were an idiot and then smiled, saying, "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us?"
Chen He didn't understand Wu Tian's meaning. He laughed and said, "Indeed, there's a misunderstanding, a big one! I originally thought you might have something impressive to show, but this is all you have. It seems I truly overestimated you!"
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, then looked at the judges and said, "This person is an idiot. Please explain it to him."
The judge in the middle was still immersed in the deliciousness of the orange.
He spoke into the microphone, "I think everyone has misunderstood. The scores we gave are not what you are interpreting them to be."
"You should combine the scores we gave. Therefore, the scores we gave are actually 100 points!"
"What did you say?!" Chen He was suddenly startled by the judge's explanation.
At the same time, everyone present also showed expressions of astonishment.
"100 points? How could it be 100? Isn't the highest score only 10 points?"
"Yes, a competition with a 10-point scale has a score of 100. What does that mean? It's too strange!"
Everyone began to discuss amongst themselves, and Chen He, with a grim expression, looked at the judges and said, "Hey, what do you three mean by this? Where did this 100 points come from?"
The judge in the middle wore a blissful smile.
He said, "There's no help for it. His orange was simply too delicious. I felt that giving it even ten points would be an insult to him, so we decided it was better to give it 100 points."
"The result of this competition is out. The oranges from Peach Blossom Village are the best! No, even if placed anywhere in the world, these are the best oranges!"
The entire venue fell silent. Everyone's mouths were agape, disbelieving what the judges had said.
After all, such an evaluation was far too high!
Chen He could no longer contain himself. He slammed his fist on the judges' table and gritted his teeth, "What do you three mean by this?"
"Have you forgotten what happened between us!"
The judge in the middle said, "There's no help for it. His orange was just too delicious."
"With an orange like this, I cannot go against my conscience. So today, no matter what you say, the championship belongs to Peach Blossom Village."
"You, you bastard!" Chen He was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode.
He hadn't expected that after scheming for so long and mocking Wu Tian for so long, he himself would end up being the clown!
If there had been a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it, because this was too embarrassing!
Wu Tian chuckled beside him and said, "It seems I've won this time. Didn't you say you wanted to slap my face? You can start now."
Wu Tian's mild taunt was like a worm gnawing at Chen He's heart.
He moved his lips, but couldn't utter a single word.
What could he say now? He had prepared to mock Wu Tian, but in the end, he had been utterly defeated.
In this situation, who was mocking whom?
He felt incredibly wronged and gritted his teeth, saying to Wu Tian, "You just wait. I will definitely settle this score with you today!"
After uttering this threat, he could no longer bear to stay there and quickly turned to run away.
Watching his hasty retreat, Wu Tian smiled and returned to Xiao Yi's side.
Xiao Yi clearly had not yet recovered.
Wu Tian gently nudged her and smiled, "How about it? Did my orange perform well enough?"
