Chapter 171: Preliminaries Conclude & Domestic Reactions

In the evening's preliminaries, the Chinese mixed 4x400m relay team, consisting of both men and women, secured the first-place position in Group 1 of the mixed 4x400m relay preliminaries with a time of 3 minutes and 16.63 seconds. They smoothly advanced to the finals the following day.

After seeing the results of the mixed 4x400m relay, Sports Channel's Shao Minyi recalled Su Bai's prediction of "securing second place and contending for third" before the race. Once again, he marveled at Su Bai's accurate and astonishing predictions regarding the team's athletes and performance.

Shao Minyi and Li Sen in the live broadcast room were, of course, unaware of the barrage of comments that appeared on the public chat screen in the Sports Channel's online live stream when Shao Minyi made this remark.

​​ 【_(:3)∠_ Bowing to the Prediction Emperor, Lord Su】

【No need to say it, silently bowing to Lord Su Bai +1.】

​​【...Lord Su is indeed Lord Su. When he says 'contending for third,' he actually succeeds. Honestly, if it weren't for bad luck with the women's 4x400m draw in that group, Lord Su's 'contending for third' might have worked.】

​​【Sigh, I also like predicting match results sometimes and do some data analysis. I've always considered myself a data expert, but when I compare Lord Su's predictive data foundation to mine... how can I even call what I do 'prediction'? It's just random guessing.】

Even in the Sports Channel's control room, there was a staff member responsible for monitoring online public opinion. They were holding a laptop and reporting the discussions about Su Bai on the internet, along with relevant data, to other producers.

These employees working on the live broadcast team at the Sports Channel were among the first to become acquainted with Su Bai. However, the information coming back from Japan to China today still surprised them. They hadn't expected Su Bai to have such skills.

Immediately, one of the producers in the Sports Channel's control room turned to their head supervisor with a suggestion.

"Boss, think about it. Su Bai did live commentary in Japan, where he couldn't even speak the language, and look at the results. How about we invite Su Bai to do live commentary for us in the future?"

"Think about it, with his brain, we won't even need subtitles. He can just say, 'Athlete from country A, historical SB record ABCD, then PB, and report a string of the athlete's recent competition results from the past three years. Finally, he can make predictions on top of that..."

The producer who made the suggestion imagined it and felt quite satisfied. "You see, if we do this, our viewership ratings will explode!"

As soon as this producer's proposal was voiced, the control room burst into laughter.

"Well, you know what, I think Little Li's idea works. Look, discussions online are already off the charts. This kind of genius non-human, boy genius, persona, not to mention in real life, even in novels, people would call it a Gary Stu. If we can really get Coach Su, I think our Sports Channel's athletics event ratings will at least double!"

When they discussed these topics, they were so enthusiastic that they wished Su Bai was here right now to start live streaming alongside Shao Minyi and Li Sen.

The head of live broadcast, responsible for overall control, waved his hand after the laughter and excitement died down. "Hey, hey, that's enough, okay? Inviting Su Bai? Do you really think it's that simple? Believe me, if Su Bai's exposed like this, the national team and the Athletics Management Center will want to keep him as their treasure."
