Chapter 1172
The crowd was amazed as they saw the hypnotic music box, and when Waverly played the music, tens of the audience fell asleep!
Many had sleep-related disorders in this century. This kind of device would help many people!
Applause resonated in the hall as the host stood next to Waverly with a microphone and asked, "Is there anyone else coming up to showcase your invention?"
The participants sat in their own seats as they eyed one another; none of them was willing to get on stage.
Their inventions paled in comparison to that magical music box.
Something that could instantly put the listeners to sleep deserved all of their attention!
Waverly truly was the indisputable master hypnotist from Kansas.
The competition ran in the style of a one-on-one challenge. One had to come forward to challenge the participant on stage. If nobody came forward, the last person standing would win the first prize.
Max and a few others from Kansas were among the audience with their heads held up, pride-filled and satisfied.
One of them even said to those from Burlington, ‘Thank you for letting us present. We have nothing special; this is nothing too special. Who would've thought we'd win the prize!”
Such a comment triggered those from Burlington, yet they had nothing else to fight about. They did not have any outstanding products, so they had to let Kansas defeat them.
"Thank you, everyone, for your respect," Waverly said to the microphone elegantly, 'Til work harder next time to come up with something more outstanding!"
She then returned the microphone, about to walk off the stage like an elegant white swan when...
Charmine walked toward the stage. When she walked past Waverly, her shoulder brushed against hers as she completely blanked her.
The host was pleased to see the only participant from Burlington. He asked with excitement, "Would you like to participate and introduce your invention to the audience?" 'Yes."
One word, determined and straightforward.
"Hahaha!” a burst of mocking laughter was heard from the crowd.
A few people were convinced by some others and mocked, "A model tries to take part in a scientific research competition? Do you think this is a show?" "I just Googled about her, and I didn't find anything about her other than being a model and an ambassador of a few brands. She's not even that famous!" "What a joke! There are so many professionals from Burlington here, and not only did none of them go up on stage, but a model did?" "Get down! Don’t waste our time!"
Many people were mocking and laughing.
Most of the scientists around had not seen Charmine before. Some would not help asking in a low voice, "Who's this person? Is she going to further embarrass Burlington?"
