nThe two of them stood facing each other. Zhang Ning was shocked by Chu Luo’s aura and took two small steps back.

nChu Luo’s lips curled up into a mocking smile. “You obviously know that Cousin doesn’t like you, but you still feign ignorance and keep pestering him. What you’re doing amounts to harassment. Say, if I beat you up today, will anyone pity you?”

n“How dare you!” Zhang Ning’s voice was raised, but it was trembling.

nChu Luo sneered. “Then see if I dare.”

n“You… you… you’re too much!”

nZhang Ning was already frightened by Chu Luo’s aura, and her heart was twisted by Chu Luo’s words. Seeing that no one came forward to help her, she couldn’t do anything no matter how indignant she was. In the end, she stomped her feet, turned around, and ran away crying.

nChu Luo: “…”

nShe hadn’t even made a move.

nAfter a few seconds of silence, Chu Luo turned around to look at the three boys who were still unable to snap back to reality from her extreme insults. She opened her big, innocent eyes and asked, “Problem taken care of. Can we go and eat now?”

nXie Minghai snapped out of his trance and bumped into Tang Zhiyun beside him in disbelief. “Brother Tang, is that junior really your cousin?”

nTang Zhiyun glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot and said to Chu Luo, “Thank you.”

nChu Luo nodded. “It’s fine. To deal with such people, we have to attack their weaknesses.”

n“Weakness? Sister Chu, do you mean the fact that she’s not as pretty as you?”

n“Isn’t it the truth?”

n“Yes, yes, yes.”

nWang Mingtao immediately sucked up to her. “Sister Chu is the most beautiful girl. She’s even prettier than those famous celebrities.”

nWith sparkling eyes, Tang Zhiyun and Xie Minghai looked at Wang Mingtao, who was sucking up to her, and nodded in agreement.

nThe four of them walked towards the canteen.

nWhile walking, Xie Minghai asked in a confused tone, “How old are you guys?”

nWang Mingtao kept calling Chu Luo “Sister Chu.” Xie Minghai felt that it sounded strange.

nWang Mingtao grinned and replied, “Sister Chu and I are both 18 years old this year.”

n“Which one of you was born earlier?”

n“Me? I was born in May while Sister Chu was born in July.”

nXie Minghai and Tang Zhiyun looked at Wang Mingtao, confused.

n“Then why do you address her like she’s your older sister?”

nWang Mingtao said matter-of-factly, “Because she’s brilliant.”

n“…”

nChu Luo glanced at Tang Zhiyun and Xie Minghai, who were at a loss for words. She had no intention of explaining and just smiled.

nThe Imperial University cafeteria was as luxurious as a star restaurant. As the four of them went there early, not many people were there to eat.

nHowever, Chu Luo still became the focus of everyone’s attention when she entered.

nXie Minghai couldn’t help but laugh. “I can already imagine how big of a commotion this junior will cause when she comes to Imperial University to study. With your looks, I think you would become the school belle of Imperial University.”

nWang Mingtao immediately replied proudly, “Of course. Not only is Sister Chu beautiful, but she’s also very impressive.”

nTang Zhiyun and Xie Minghai were both amused by Wang Mingtao’s proud expression.

nAfter the meal, Tang Zhiyun picked up a call. After he hung up the phone, he said to Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao excitedly:

n“We’re in luck. A professor who’s just returned from working overseas is bringing a group of technicians to the technology building to test their data in the simulation chamber this afternoon. We can listen in.”

n“That’s great.” Xie Minghai slapped his thigh and quickly took out his phone to make a call. “I’ll call Leizi and Qingfeng over too. How can they miss such a good opportunity?”

nWhen Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao heard this, their eyes were filled with surprise.

nThe four of them quickly walked towards the technology building.

nThe technology building was a circular building with bulletproof glass structures that could block all interference and attacks. It covered a wide area. Looking from the outside, it appeared like a huge semicircular egg, the kind that flickered with a faint blue light.

nFrom the moment they entered through the door, they were faced with electronic gadgets: 5G broadcasting screens, robot scanners, all-purpose automatic screening machine.

nTang Zhiyun and Xie Minghai stopped when they reached the gate.

nTang Zhiyun said to Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao, “You must submit your cell phone and all electronic products when you enter. Nothing inside must be leaked.”

nAfter saying that, he and Xie Minghai took out their phones and removed their watches.

nChu Luo only had her phone. Wang Mingtao had also brought his watch and game console. He took them out at the same time.

nTang Zhiyun took their things to a locker outside the door and put them inside using his school card.

nJust then, two other people rushed over.

nWhen they saw Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao, they were a little surprised.

n“Come, come, come. Let me introduce you. These are our future juniors Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao. Boss brought them here.” It was Xie Minghai who’d introduced Chu Luo and Wang Mingtao enthusiastically.

nOne of the two who came had the cheerful face of a northerner. He immediately revealed a toothy grin and greeted them, “Hello, I’m Yu Lei. You can call me Brother Lei.”

nThe other boy wasn’t tall and was relatively thin. He was wearing large black-framed glasses and a loose Pop shirt. He only pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said the words “Xu Qingfeng” before closing his mouth. It was obvious that he had no intention of saying anything else.

nXie Minghai was worried that the two of them wouldn’t be able to accept Xu Qingfeng’s aloofness, so he explained, “Don’t mind him. Qingfeng has never been a talkative person.”

nChu Luo didn’t mind. Wang Mingtao also shrugged his shoulders.

nAfter the two of them put their electronics into the locker, the six of them walked in together.

nAfter a few rounds of inspection, they arrived at the hall inside.

n“Wow, this place looks so posh and classy.” The moment Wang Mingtao entered, he was shocked by the various high-tech gadgets inside.

nChu Luo also sized up the place curiously.

nThe hall was divided into several areas, with each area separated by a glass wall. Various kinds of electronic products that weren’t available outside were being displayed within.

nThis wasn’t the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing was that on a large circular platform in front of them, there was something that looked like a sleep capsule. There was no display above, but various complicated data was rolling in the air. In the middle was an exquisite image.

nAt this moment, there were a few people dressed in specialized clothes standing inside.

nOne of them pointed at the data and said something while the others quickly recorded it on their tablets.

nChu Luo was surprised to see the person who spoke.

n“That’s the simulation chamber.”

nChu Luo retracted her gaze when she heard someone talking.

nShe pointed at the person standing inside and asked, “Is that the person you mentioned, the professor who just returned from working overseas?”

n“That’s right. Professor Wu was invited by Imperial University from XX University in Germany at a high price. He’s also one of the developers of the simulation chamber.”

nWhen Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.

nTang Zhiyun noticed and asked subconsciously, “Do you know that professor?”

n“No.” Chu Luo walked over.

nAt this moment, people gradually walked over. Soon, a large group of people surrounded the glass wall.

nThey could hear the voices inside. Everyone walked over and held their breaths, listening intently.

nThe professional jargon that Professor Wu spoke was complicated and difficult to understand. Moreover, he spoke very quickly. Soon, some people revealed confused expressions.

nChu Luo listened for a while and realized that she hadn’t learned some of it yet. She decided to go back and continue reading and consult Professor Wu from time to time.

nProfessor Wu led the debuggers to debug for almost an hour before it ended. After it ended, they discussed things and left.

nAfter those people left, everyone couldn’t help but discuss.

n“Professor Wu is too amazing. He can actually accurately find and perfect such a complicated database.”

n“Of course. Professor Wu was a top professor at XX University of Technology in Germany. He’s also one of the developers of the ‘Blazing Glory’ and ‘Battle of Lightyears’ simulators.”

n“I wonder if Professor Wu will teach a class next semester. I really want to attend his class.”

n“I wonder if Professor Wu will accept students next semester. I really want to become his student.”

n“Me too.”

n“Me too.”

n…

nThe group of people echoed each other as they left.

nWhen the crowd had mostly dispersed, Chu Luo felt someone staring at them with an unfriendly gaze.

nAt this moment, a few boys standing on the other side of the glass wall walked over angrily.

nThe person in the lead had an outstanding appearance. He was tall and had long legs. He also carried an indescribable sense of superiority.

nWalking beside that person was Xue Hui, who Chu Luo and the others had seen before.

nAs soon as Xue Hui saw them, now that he had a backing, he immediately started mocking them sarcastically. “Yo! Isn’t this Brother Yu’s defeated opponent?”

n“Xue Hui, you are itching for a beating, aren’t you?” Before Tang Zhiyun could speak, Xie Minghai and Yu Lei clenched their fists so hard that they were cracking, making it clear that they would beat up Xue Hui if he said anything more.

nXue Hui subconsciously shrunk his neck. Suddenly, it occurred to him that with so many people on their side, there was nothing to be afraid of. He extended his neck and said in a boastful tone:

n“Am I wrong? Tang Zhiyun is worse than our Brother Yu in all aspects. You may not know this, but Brother Yu’s tutor has recommended him to Professor Wu. Soon, Brother Yu will be Professor Wu’s first student.

n“Also, the selection rounds for ‘Battle of Lightyears’ are about to start. Last time, you people framed Brother Yu and made him lose his title. You have to be careful this time. I heard that those whose accounts have been banned don’t even have the right to compete. Haha…”

n“Xue Hui, f*ck you!”

n“Haizi!”

nTang Zhiyun pressed down on Xie Minghai’s shoulder and turned around to indicate to Yu Lei and Xu Qingfeng not to be impulsive.

nOnly then did he turn to Ouyang Yu.

nOuyang Yu didn’t seem to notice that Xue Hui had angered the people opposite him to the point of wanting to beat them up. He looked at them and his lips curled up. He said as though he was speaking to old friends, “Long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you guys here.”

nThe surroundings suddenly fell silent.

nThere was suddenly a smell of gunpowder in the air…
