For the rest of the day, the principal received so many calls that it made his ears ring.
These were all from the principals of the top 100 universities in the world.
Listening to the envious congratulations of the principals, the principal felt that his life had reached a peak of perfection.
No matter how big of a commotion Blazing Glory and Imperial University’s official announcements caused the outside world, Chu Luo wasn’t affected at all.
She only received congratulatory calls from those people she knew.
Wu Yiyao came over for lunch.
She smiled at Chu Luo and asked, “Little Chu, do you know how big of a commotion Blazing Glory and Imperial University’s official announcement caused?”
“I know.” Chu Luo ate calmly and said, “But this has nothing to do with me.”
Wu Yiyao laughed. “Aren’t you afraid that those pervasive reporters will surround you? Also, now that the entire world knows about your ability, I think there must be many important people who want to invite you to have a chat.”
At this point, Wu Yiyao suddenly became worried. “CEO Li can block ordinary people, but what if it’s really important figures from other countries who want to see you?”
“Why do they want to see me?”
“You now have two techniques that can influence the world. There must be many people who want these two abilities.”
“That depends on whether they have the ability.”
Li Yan had said that she didn’t have to care about this matter, so she didn’t intend to.
Wu Yiyao knew Chu Luo’s ability and didn’t continue to persuade her. She told her about last night.
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “You know too?”
Wu Yiyao laughed. “I’m basically online all the time. How can I not know?”
Chu Luo shrugged. “That’s not what I meant. I thought you didn’t like reading gossip?”
Usually, when Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao went online together, Wu Yiyao was either programming or looking for loopholes in the Battle of Lightyears, so she subconsciously felt that Wu Yiyao didn’t like to surf the Internet to read gossip.
Wu Yiyao told Chu Luo, “Actually, a colleague of mine told me about this. At that time, I realized that one of them looked like Xiao Yue, so I took a closer look.”
“Then does Senior Tang know?”
“What do you think?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and smiled. The two of them had just started eating when Wang Mingtao came over.
Wang Mingtao had been attending lessons for the entire morning. When he came over, he was anxious. When he saw Chu Luo, he grinned and said, “Sister Chu, you’re too cool today!”
He then greeted Wu Yiyao, “Hello, Teacher Wu.”
Wu Yiyao looked at his messy red hair and asked, “Have you eaten lunch?”
Wang Mingtao shook his head. “We had classes this entire morning. We even stopped halfway to watch the live broadcast of Sister Chu and the others operating the gaming capsule, so class ended later.”
“Then hurry up and order. We’re almost done.”
“Hey, eat slowly. I’ll order immediately.”
Watching Wang Mingtao run towards the ordering counter, Wu Yiyao smiled and said, “Little Wang is really an energetic young man. I feel that he’s full of energy every time I see him.”
Chu Luo also smiled. “Sister Wu, are you sure it’s not because he’s a little silly?”
“Haha…”
Wang Mingtao arrived a little late, so he quickly ordered and brought his food over.
He sat down and said with a pained expression, “Sister Chu, you don’t know. When you said that you were looking for an experimental subject at Imperial University, I was about to register. I didn’t expect this spot to be snatched by President Nangong.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and said, “Blazing Glory will find someone to hold the open beta soon. If you want, you can register.”
“Really? I would love to. Sister Chu, you must open a back door for me and let me get a free spot in the public beta.”
Wu Yiyao was amused by Wang Mingtao’s blatant desire to get in through the back door. She said, “I remember that previously, Little Tang and the others won first place in the Battle of Lightyears World Championship. Each of them will get a gaming capsule. Since it’s already the open beta stage, I think the gaming capsule’s not far from being launched.”
Wang Mingtao also thought of this matter. His eyes lit up. He looked at Chu Luo expectantly. “Sister Chu, you’ll have one too. Lend it to me to play with when the time comes.”
Chu Luo glanced at him. “I can lend it to you, but you have to promise me one condition.”
Wang Mingtao nodded hurriedly. “I’ll agree to any condition.”
Chu Luo curled her lips. “If you pass level six in foreign languages next semester, I can even give it to you, let alone lend it to you.”
“…”
Seeing Wang Mingtao’s face turn bitter, Wu Yiyao smiled sympathetically.
She cheered on Wang Mingtao. “Little Wang, all the best. I believe in you.”
Wang Mingtao was immediately filled with enthusiasm. He clenched his fists and swore. “I will definitely pass level six.”
The three of them finished their meal and had just walked out of the school restaurant when they heard someone discussing.
“My boyfriend called me just now and said that Imperial University is surrounded by guards.”
“Why?”
“I heard that a large group of reporters came from outside. They all want to enter Imperial University to interview Chu Luo.”
The two people who were talking saw Chu Luo come out of the restaurant. One of the girls even came over to tell her, “Chu Luo, a large group of reporters wants to interview you outside. I heard that there are reporters of all kinds. If you don’t want to be disturbed by them, it’s better to let CEO Li send someone to the school to pick you up.”
Chu Luo nodded at her and thanked her before walking towards the library with Wu Yiyao and Wang Mingtao.
Wu Yiyao said, “The guards outside the school gate are probably sent by the Sun family. That girl was right. Little Chu, if you don’t want to be disturbed, get CEO Li to pick you up from the school.”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm”.
At this moment, Wang Mingtao also mentioned what happened last night. When he mentioned Gu Jie, he deliberately lowered his voice. “Gu Jie is an instructor. I saw that none of those instructors appeared today. Is it because of Gu Jie?”
Chu Luo had been called to get busy since she arrived today. She really didn’t know that Sun Tianhao and the others hadn’t appeared for the entire morning. Hearing Wang Mingtao’s guess, she took out her phone and sent a message to ask.
It actually took Sun Tianhao a while to reply.
Sun Tianhao: “We’ve all been conscripted to guard the east gate of Imperial University.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Sun Tianhao: “What do you mean by those few dots? Chu Luo, let me tell you, don’t run around alone just because you’re capable. Just now, I received a call from my father saying that many foreign reporters are rushing towards the capital. Do you know that reporters are sometimes a group of terrifying creatures?”
Sun Tianhao: “Other than the reporters, the various countries will definitely send some people to look for you secretly. You have to know how influential the two research inventions you announced today are to the world, so you have to pay attention.”
After Chu Luo finished reading these two long messages, she thought for a while and replied, “Got it. It’s been hard on you guys.”
Sun Tianhao replied with a grinning emoticon, “If you really think it’s hard on me, call me Brother.”
Chu Luo’s face was wooden. “We’ll talk about it after you spar with Yan and defeat him.”
Sun Tianhao: “Then just wait. When the time comes, not only will you call me Brother, but Li Yan will also call me Brother.”
Chu Luo could imagine Sun Tianhao’s smug expression. She typed: “May your dreams come true.”
Sun Tianhao: “Definitely!”
Sun Tianhao: “Gotta go. A few more reporters are here. I have to stop them.”
When Chu Luo saw this, she put away her phone and said to Wang Mingtao, who was looking at her, “The instructors are guarding the east gate.”
When Wang Mingtao heard that, he said with a relieved expression, “I’m relieved that Brother Sun is guarding the school gate. He’s amazing.”
Chu Luo glanced at him. “How did you know he’s amazing?”
Wang Mingtao said self-righteously, “I just knew it when I saw his face.”
Chu Luo was speechless.
Wu Yiyao couldn’t help but laugh.
Not long after the three of them went to the library, Chu Luo received a call from Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi’s tone was a little helpless. “Junior, our Student Union’s phones are exploding with calls. There are already more than 20 foreign Student Union members who have applied to come to our school for an exchange.”
Chu Luo said without thinking, “Reject all of them. Why are these people here now? Are they here to visit me?”
Nangong Yi was amused by Chu Luo’s words. He said, “Alright, I’ll get the publicity folks to decline all the schools that want to come here for an exchange. But there’s something else I have to tell you.”
“What?”
“The president of the Student Union from more than 20 schools has made a request to attend your wedding.”
“Tell them to call me directly and ask me.”
“…”
“What?”
“Junior, you’ve limited calls on your phone, right?”
Chu Luo replied self-righteously, “That’s right. Other than my friends and family, no one else’s calls can get through.”
When Nangong Yi heard this, he chuckled. He didn’t ask her how those people could ask her when they couldn’t reach her phone at all. He just said, “Okay, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo looked at Wu Yiyao and Wang Mingtao, who were staring at her with bright eyes. She curled her lips and said, “Everything’s resolved.”
“Pfft.” Wang Mingtao gave Chu Luo a thumbs up. “Sister Chu, you used this move really well.”
Chu Luo nodded and thought for a while before saying, “You guys better limit calls on your phones too.”
Wu Yiyao thought that made sense and adjusted the setting on her phone.
Doubting that anyone would call him, Wang Mingtao waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter if I set it up or not. I won’t answer any unfamiliar numbers anyway.”
Just as Wang Mingtao finished speaking, his phone rang.
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao stared at him.
Wang Mingtao laughed sheepishly and took out his phone. When he saw the display, he heaved a sigh of relief and deliberately showed it to the two of them. “It’s from my childhood friend.”
After saying that, he picked up the phone. However, the smile on his face only lasted for a few seconds. He glanced at Chu Luo awkwardly and shouted at the other party in a tense voice,
“That’s impossible. Do you think you can see my Sister Chu whenever you want…? If you don’t want to be brothers, then don’t be brothers. Pengzi, I’m warning you. You’re not allowed to come on the weekends. If you come, at most you can play games with me at my house… Pfft! That’s impossible!”
At this point, he hung up.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Chu Luo and was about to speak when his phone rang again.
