Xia Fei did not take part in the second round of the preliminaries as planned, yet he still managed to enter the finals with his outstanding performance in the first round, though he was ranked at the bottom, barely reaching the cut off point.
Meanwhile, Li Mo had displayed his talents in machinery once again. The problem assigned to him in the second round was optimizing the combustion of fuel. Without any surprise, he managed to reduce the fuel consumption of a spaceship by twenty-five percent under normal circumstances. In the end, he came first in the preliminaries and secured a spot in the finals. He was considered the first seed participant of the tournament, while Xia Fei's current rank was about a thousand.
Xia Fei was still hard at work in the garage. He was fine as long as he made it to the finals, and his ranking was not even among his concerns.
