Chapter 148: Chapter 148

For a moment, the circle around the sofa went silent. The group of men exchanged glances, their faces turning red, yet not a word could be uttered.

The next moment, the researcher with the notebook suddenly jumped up.

"Oh right, I didn’t include this hidden variable!"

Meanwhile, another quickly logged onto the official website to check last week’s new publication.

A moment later, everyone who wasn’t completely absorbed in their research quietly shrank to the side, even the sound of keyboard typing became more subdued.

They secretly glanced at Chu River, thinking with a bit of anguish:

"It’s true, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward, the old waves die on the beach... Look at them, living all these years in vain, and now they can’t even compare to a little girl who isn’t even an adult."

Frustrating to the point of tears.

Just about to shamelessly gather around to continue asking for advice, unexpectedly, Little Yellow suddenly came back with a slew of breakfast and squeezed in next to Chu River in no time.

"Sis, here, these are all specialties from this area, try each one!"

While speaking, he laid out the meal boxes one by one, placing the spoons and chopsticks in an orderly manner, incredibly considerate.

Chu River nodded, still not feeling too cheerful, and said:

"You said last time that game wasn’t good. I spent money, so why can’t I draw a good card?"

"Hey!" Little Yellow, being experienced, said:

"Sis, drawing cards isn’t about skill, it’s about mysticism—next time, wash your hands before drawing to wash away the bad luck!"

Chu River paused her breakfast and asked seriously, "Does it work?"

Little Yellow confidently replied:

"It’s definitely effective. Last time I washed my hands before every ten tries, and finally got an SSR!"

In short, the big non-gamer taught the small non-gamer, one dared to teach, and the other dared to learn.

But Chu River was quite satisfied—getting results is what mattered.

She felt content, and the breakfast tasted even better.

The researcher holding the computer wanted to speak but hesitated. Looking at the problem he couldn’t solve for a long time, he hesitantly said:

"Which game do you play? Maybe I can write a cheat, and you help me look at this modeling..."

Immediately, he was glared at by Little Yellow and Chu River:

"Oh, you dirty cheater!"

"I’m not, I didn’t!" He waved his hands quickly: "We don’t even have time to play games!"

Chu River also looked down on him, turned her neck and saw his problem, and then sat up straight without hesitation:

"With your level, you think you can write a cheat for me... First, figure out your own code, what are all those messy stuff in group 3..."

The researcher looked at the computer, furrowed his brows after a long time, and started editing with a humph.

That little look of his, as if he was lucky enough to get advice from a top student yet didn’t understand a thing, still trying to act as if he understood, just like a struggling student.

For some reason, even Little Yellow felt a sense of empathy.

The two had a delicious meal in the hotel lobby, while the researchers gathered around took the opportunity to solve many big and small problems, now looking at Chu River with expressions of amazement!

That genius mind, that genius mind!

She should have been one of theirs!

If it weren’t for them already setting off, they’d wish they could report back right away, writing extravagant praises about the girl’s genius a hundred times, then bring this genius girl into their research lab.

Just then, Qin Manman finally came downstairs.

To be honest, she didn’t wake up late, got up at 5:30.

But a meticulously planned nude makeup took an hour, and with yesterday’s experience, she dressed plainly yet subtly today. By the time she came down, without breakfast, all the researchers were already packing up their computers to leave.

Forget breakfast, just catch up!

Stepping out of the hotel, her carefully layered foundation instantly mixed with sweat, and afraid of smudging, she didn’t dare wipe... This muggy weather, this damp mood, all her frustration focused on the weather, she nearly cried!

Meanwhile, the researchers and Chu River along with Little Yellow who took the earlier bus had already reached the venue’s entrance smoothly.

The venue opens at 7:00; they need to tidy up their exhibition space and plan communication routes in advance... They’re busy.

Among this group of researchers, especially those from Tianfeng Research Institute, wished they could form a circle around Chu River, firmly keeping her in, determined not to give any other institute the slightest chance to snatch her.

Also taking advantage of a couple of key points—apart from their self-esteem being utterly crushed, they couldn’t find a single flaw.

As for the girl’s unpleasant way of speaking...

Oh my, is that a flaw for researchers?

It’s clearly the characteristic of a genius!

As long as there’s an outcome, not to mention speaking harshly, even if she scolded them a couple of times for moral cultivation, it wouldn’t matter.

Anyway, in this field, everyone has to be thick-skinned.

Xichuan Province places great importance on this technological exhibition. The venue, divided into the largest space in the province, even has publicity from all directions.

Now, early in the morning, shuttle buses offering free rides throughout the city have already set off, and a peak in visitor flow is expected at around 9:00 in the morning.

The entire city and visitors from afar coming to see the excitement might just fill the venue, packed like sardines.

Their group was already not considered early, and under the giant locust tree to the right of the venue’s entrance, the flower bed was already packed with people sitting.

The researcher next to Little Yellow sighed:

"Gosh, didn’t make it."

"Make it to what?" Little Yellow quickly asked.

The researcher pointed to the towering tree:

"See that? The five-thousand-year-old national locust tree, it’s said this tree is full of spirituality, a sacred tree protecting the area—and there’s a mystic saying, if you can’t figure something out, stand beneath it, and it’ll be easier to clear your mind."

Little Yellow was dismissive of this.

"With my sister around, isn’t that more enlightening than standing under a tree?"

Everyone recalled Chu River’s prowess, and their spirits lifted again.

Chu River cast a surprised glance at the giant locust tree, earnestly commenting:

"The magnetic field of this tree is quite unusual, it indeed seems much deeper than ordinary plants and trees."

As for whether it provides protection or not, she didn’t comment, but its vitality was truly strong.

Despite Little Yellow’s earlier disdain, he was quite adept at flattering now:

"After all, it’s 5000 years old, it’s developed a spirit—sis, I’ll go pray later, also on your behalf."

As a person of the Star Sea Era, Chu River was completely uninterested in this act of "praying," casually nodding, and then pointed ahead:

"That stall selling cold noodles seems quite popular, go get a bowl."

Little Yellow eagerly agreed, and while taking out a cup of green bean ice cream and inserting the straw, he said: "The weather is really stifling..."

He also wiped the sweat off his face.

A few researchers looked eagerly at Chu River:

"Why don’t you come with us later..."

Such a powerful boss, they really couldn’t bear to part ways! What if another research institute snatched her away in the middle, how disappointing would that be!

However, Chu River shook her head, clearly having shown her disdain all morning.

"I’m just going to wander, and when I’m tired, go eat something, you go ahead with your work."

—Considering the level of this group, there wasn’t much particularly outstanding stuff this time.

While pondering, her brow suddenly twitched.

She suddenly turned her head to the far-off horizon, looking at the gradually brightening sky and the sticky moisture in the air...

She felt her spiritual power stirring intensely, making her restless and irritable, filled with frustration without knowing how to vent.

This feeling was quite unfamiliar, making Chu River feel uncomfortable even standing there.

Just then, accompanied by a speaker announcement, the venue officially opened.

Chu River took a deep breath, watching the researcher group clutching their computers and equipment, excitedly dashing inside, and then slowly followed them in.
