Chapter 357:
Charlotte stepped in to calm the furious Sylvie and shook her head. “Origin Company holds too much influence in
this industry. If we complain, we could lose this round completely.”
“So what do we do now? We can’t possibly answer it, so we'll have to admit defeat,” Sylvie said, sinking into her
seat, her eyes fixed on Khloe in the arena.
As the crowd watched with sympathetic or gloating expressions, Khloe remained composed, showing no hint of
panic. Instead, she met Barlow's eyes with a cold, icy stare. “Is this your question? It lacks any substance.” Her
casual words left the crowd stunned, their eyes wide with shock. The people who had once felt sorry for Khloe
were now speechless, exchanging glances as if trying to confirm whether they had really heard what she just
said.
Someone whispered, “Is she out of her mind? With such a difficult question, she’s saying it’s lacking substance?”
“I felt a little sorry for Khloe before, but now it looks like she brought this on herself. With that arrogance, she
definitely needs someone like Barlow to humble her.”
The room buzzed with mockery and disapproval directed at Khloe. On stage, Barlow froze for a moment before
bursting into laughter. “Khloe, you really think too highly of yourself. This question is a major challenge in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtacademia, and you call it lacking substance? Who do you think you are?” His expression was one of pure
mockery, eyes filled with contempt. “Since you think it's so easy, why don’t you go ahead and answer it? Show
us what kind of genius you are, talking big without proving a thing. If | had your confidence, I'd be an
internationally renowned researcher.”
In response to Barlow's ridicule and the crowd's jeers, Khloe remained calm. “The answer is simple. By extracting
and purifying reed juice, | can create the Bulrush that neutralizes Virus X, effectively curing the patients. | came
across a report on this recently and figured it out. Feel free to try it.”
The venue erupted with laughter as everyone shook their heads in disbelief at Khloe’s bold words.
“Oh my! Khloe actually said that. Does she think she can solve this in three days just by reading a few reports?
It's complete nonsense.”
“How shameless! Does she think we're all fools she can trick? Does she really believe solving academic problems
is that simple? She's completely naive.”

On stage, Barlow laughed loudly, pointing at Khloe as he mocked, “Stop embarrassing yourself. You just claimed
that the Bulrush can deactivate viruses. Do you really think we're that stupid? Khloe, my advice is to bow out
now. Otherwise, when the results show you're lying, you'll destroy your reputation and never be able to work in
the academic field again.”
The audience continued to berate Khloe, but she remained unfazed, lifting her chin slightly as she directed a
steady gaze at Barlow. “You're incredibly narrow-minded. It's one thing to be limited in knowledge, but to proudly
display your ignorance? That's just foolish.”
Watching Khloe stand firm, Barlow's anger flared. “Since you're so determined to destroy your academic
reputation, | won't stop you. Let's begin the verification.”
With that, he held up a completed drug product for the crowd to see. “Look carefully, everyone. This is the latest
vaccine from Origin Company, designed to deactivate Virus X. It can stop the virus from growing and spreading.”
The audience was stunned as Barlow revealed the completed drug. All eyes were fixed on the vaccine Barlow
was holding, and gasps of surprise filled the room.
“The people at Origin Company are amazing—developing a vaccine to fight Virus X so quickly. Really
impressive!”
“Yes, Origin Company has always been a leader in the academic world, and this tthey've made a huge
contribution by deactivating Virus X.” Another person nodded in approval, throwing a dismissive glance at Khloe.
“Barlow is truly remarkable. No wonder he had the confidence to challenge Khloe. She doesn’t even compare to
him.”
As the praise for him kept flowing, Barlow's smugness grew even more evident.
He had intentionally set up this challenge, knowing that deactivating Virus X was an immensely tough task. But

serve as the perfect platform to boost Origin Company's reputation and elevate his own standing.
