Chapter 278: Chapter 278

"All right, let’s eat first. After we finish eating, I’ll take you to the laboratory."

Gudes immediately sat down.

At the table diagonally across from them, there were also several people from Veridia and some foreigners, all looking like students.

The foreigners were speaking in Chinese, and just at that moment, the television on the wall was broadcasting news related to Paige Sterling. One of the foreigners suddenly pointed at the TV and said, "God Sterling? Trash?"

A Veridian student sitting next to them immediately said, "No, no, no, God Sterling is not trash. She is the scientist we admire the most!"

Those foreigners immediately got angry and emphasized, "God Sterling! Trash, she is trash!"

Veridian student: "Not at all..."

The foreign students suddenly stood up, glaring aggressively, "We say she’s trash!"

A few Veridian students looked at each other, and among them, there were even two who were upset and wanted to argue.

Another one pulled them back and stood up, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, she’s trash. It’s just online hype that’s exaggerated her. She really doesn’t have any real skills."

Anyway, whatever you say goes. They didn’t dare to argue, after all. They’re hoping for credits from these international students and can’t afford to offend them.

The foreigners looked satisfied, smugly saying, "In our country, such trash should be eliminated. But unexpectedly, in Veridia, such trash can start companies, appear on television, and be worshipped by your citizens. It’s truly laughable..."

Then, they listed several scientists from their own country, bragging about their exceptional skills, which someone like Paige Sterling couldn’t match even if she tried her whole life.

However, those scientists they praised were quite earnest recently and extended invitations to Paige, who rejected them and expressed their hope to come to Veridia to exchange ideas with her for a while.

Gudes looked at Paige. If someone talked about him , he would have probably lost his temper and started a fight with them long ago.

Yet unexpectedly, Paige calmly continued eating.

Indeed, those capable of great achievements are different.

Goodman silently gave Paige a thumbs-up.

At this moment, Paige finished her meal, and Gudes saw her stand up, thinking Paige was leaving after the meal.

Unexpectedly, Paige wiped her mouth and walked towards that table.

What was Paige going to do?

While Gudes was puzzled, Paige slapped her hand on that group’s table, and everyone looked at her in astonishment.

"Who are you, and what do you want to do?"

Paige removed her sunglasses.

The Veridian students immediately recognized her, "God, God Sterling!"

Coming out for a meal and encountering God Sterling?

Did she hear everything we just said?

The foreigners also looked at Paige, examining her, with a flippant expression, as if they didn’t take Paige seriously at all, "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to show you the power of trash."

After speaking, several beams of light, resembling white blades, inexplicably appeared on the back of Paige’s hand. She clenched her fist and punched the table.

The table was instantly cut into two English letters—SB by the beams of white light.

Then the white light disappeared, leaving nothing on the back of Paige’s hand, as if what everyone saw earlier was an extraordinary ability emanating from her body.

In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, Paige spoke in a foreign language to those foreigners.

She spoke rapidly, and Gudes didn’t understand the language of this country. However, he could read the expressions on those foreigners’ faces.

Their expressions were so complex that they could only be described as epic, leaving people somewhat baffled.

Initially, they were shocked, and in the end, their faces were filled with frustration and humiliation, as if they realized the enormous gap between themselves and Paige, losing all their usual arrogance.

After thoroughly demoralizing them, Paige went to settle the bill, "Boss, I’ll pay for this table."

Seeing Paige leave, Gudes quickly followed.

Now, the Veridian student suddenly felt vindicated.

"Did you see that? This is God Sterling! Those who called her trash just have short sight. Hmph!"

"How dare you call her trash? You don’t even have the right to comment on our God Sterling!"

"If God Sterling is trash, then what are all of you?"

Meanwhile, another person in the restaurant also witnessed this scene.

Seeing Paige leave, that person quickly chased after her and stopped her a short distance from the door.

"Professor Sterling, do you remember me?"

Paige was now also a teacher at the school, and everyone was used to calling her Professor Sterling there.

Paige turned around and saw Professor Lancaster.

"Professor Lancaster, you’re here too?"

Professor Lancaster chuckled and said, "I just happened to be eating here."

He then added, "Those were my students. Sorry for the embarrassment."

He had intended to stand up and say a few words when he heard those students talking.

Given Paige’s achievements and contributions, it’s understandable if foreigners don’t understand and talk nonsense. But for Veridians to flatter foreign words is unacceptable.

He didn’t even want to admit to having taught such students.

But unexpectedly, Paige was present and stood up to boldly counterattack, leaving them speechless.

Professor Lancaster felt greatly pleased. He liked Paige’s unyielding spirit.

Then Professor Lancaster remembered the purpose of his pursuit and asked, "By the way, you mentioned a virtual lightsaber at the symposium last time. Is this it?"

Paige was now also considered a member of the research institute, and she was naturally invited to any symposium held by the institute.

At the symposium a few days ago, Paige proposed the idea of using exotic materials to create virtual lightsabers as weapons, like those in games and sci-fi that could be conjured at will, convenient to carry, not occupying space, powered by charging or solar energy, and most importantly, with tremendous destructive power.

Many people thought she was daydreaming, considering that according to the current level of science, it was impossible to create such things.

Just like when numerous people doubted her mecha plan in the past.

However, it had only been half a month since the last symposium, and he had already seen what Paige had described on her. How could he not be astonished?

"That’s right, but there are still some flaws so far that I haven’t figured out how to improve."

After Paige finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, "I’ve heard that Professor Lancaster is quite knowledgeable in energy and space. I wonder when Professor Lancaster will have time. I’d like to discuss it with you."

At that time, when she proposed the virtual lightsaber, only Professor Lancaster supported her theory, and many of his insights and opinions were very advanced, providing her with a lot of inspiration.

Paige believed that perhaps Professor Lancaster could help her improve the virtual lightsaber.

"Of course, no problem. I’m also very interested in the virtual lightsaber you mentioned. You can come directly to the laboratory to find me when you have time. I’m usually there." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Since Paige was going to the laboratory, Professor Lancaster was particularly interested, so Paige took him and Gudes along.
