94: Chapter 94 Qian Qidong

Huazhong University of Science and Technology, freshman dormitory.

In the small dormitory, a heated battle was underway.

"Second Brother, someone's in the bush!" Zheng Jun shouted, staring tensely at the screen.

"I know," Wang Shuo replied calmly, his eyes unblinking. His keyboard clattered rapidly, and his hand on the mouse went into high-speed mode.

On the screen, his character flipped nimbly and threw out a chain. Using the wall for leverage, he instantly transferred directly in front of the enemy hero who had just shown their face. Before the opposing hero could even react, he instantly killed them.

"Just a squishy hero, it's nothing," Wang Shuo said casually.

Zheng Jun did not relax in the slightest. Pointing at the screen, his voice suddenly rose, "More are coming! Two of them! Watch out!"

Right as he said "watch out," Wang Shuo's hero on the screen turned nimbly, barely dodging the enemy hero's crowd control skill. Then, with another sequence of wall-running and dodging maneuvers, he closed the distance in a few bounds, appearing right in front of the enemy's ranged hero. One hit... two hits, instant kill!

The remaining support hero posed no threat. At this moment, Wang Shuo activated his ultimate skill. Ten seconds later, the opposing hero lay dead on the ground.

"Penta kill!"

In the chat box, his teammates instantly spammed a stream of "666," making for a lively atmosphere.

After this battle, the opposing team surrendered instantly. Staring at the word "Victory" on the screen, Zheng Jun was too excited to speak.

"Awesome, you're freaking awesome, Second Brother."

Four of their teammates had already died, leaving only Wang Shuo, whom he thought was a noob. Zheng Jun had been in despair, prepared to lose the dragon. But to his surprise, Wang Shuo pulled off such high-level plays at the critical moment, securing a penta kill and completely turning the game around.

This kind of micro, this kind of map awareness—he was a true pro!

"Second Brother, I had no idea you had this kind of talent." Zheng Jun patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder. He wanted to say something admiring, but after racking his brain, he couldn't think of any grand words, ultimately leaving only: "Awesome!"

"It's just average," Wang Shuo smiled sheepishly. Using this kind of hardware-level cheat made even him feel a bit embarrassed.

He could only say that Zero's ability was too absurd. As for himself, he was just moving his fingers to put on a show. Aside from controlling his character during normal movement, when it came to actual team fights, he was no different from Zheng Jun.

They were both essentially spectating; the only difference was probably that Wang Shuo's heart remained completely calm.

"Come on, Second Brother, let's go again! Let me, the God of War, annihilate these scrubs!"

Zheng Jun said in a booming voice, quickly clicking the invite button, completely immersed in a strange state of excitement. He had been getting utterly destroyed in games lately; by today, he was on nearly a twenty-game losing streak. This had made him extremely irritable, and even the number of laps he ran had shot up, which filled Wang Shuo with a sense of dread.

It just so happened that today, for some reason, Wang Shuo had suddenly awakened his gaming god genes, playing incredibly well and finally giving him a proper gaming experience again.

Wang Shuo shook his head in amusement. It seemed he had really dragged Zheng Jun down in their previous games, otherwise Zheng Jun wouldn't be this excited. Normally, aside from having a loud voice, Zheng Jun was quite mature.

Next up... hunting time.

...

Optics Valley Software Park, Frontier Technology Company.

Xu Kexin rested her chin on her palm, staring blankly at The Figure reading intently in the reception area, her face full of helplessness. As she idly glanced around, her eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and she stood up to greet the graceful figure who had just walked through the door.

"Sister Liu, you're finally here."

The newcomer was indeed Liu Yemei. Perhaps because she hadn't rested well, there was a trace of exhaustion in her expression. Hearing this, she looked at Xu Kexin.

Xu Kexin pouted her chin toward the reception area.

"What's going on?" Liu Yemei frowned slightly.

Xu Kexin immediately recounted what had happened.

Although Liu Yemei had tried her best to persuade this big shot to leave last night, it had no effect. After Liu Yemei left, he had remained sitting here all night.

Of course, during this time, Xu Kexin didn't forget to show off her own contribution. To accompany this guest who was reading so intently, she hadn't gone home all night, serving tea and pouring water countless times, even canceling a date.

"You did well," Liu Yemei said calmly. These past few days, she had been busy receiving manufacturers who wanted to cooperate, so she indeed didn't have a detailed understanding of why this guest was here.

Under Xu Kexin's delighted gaze, Liu Yemei walked to the water dispenser, brewed a fresh cup of hot tea, and placed it on the coffee table.

"Professor Qian, please."

"Oh, thank you." Professor Qian Qidong looked up, seemingly having just realized her presence. He picked up the tea, took a sip, set it down gently, stretched his body, and sighed, "I really am getting old. My body can't take it anymore. Just pulling one all-nighter, and I'm already struggling to hold on."

Liu Yemei did not speak, studying Professor Qian Qidong carefully.

The scene fell into a brief silence.

Xu Kexin looked at the two in front of her blankly and shifted uncomfortably. The silence made her feel a bit redundant and ill at ease.

After a moment...

"Do young people nowadays have so little respect for their elders?"

Professor Qian Qidong shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"If you need to find President Wang, you could have easily gone to his university. You are a professor there, so it shouldn't be hard to meet him," Liu Yemei said softly, her tone lacking its usual sharpness.

Professor Qian Qidong shook his head. Heaven only knew where Wang Shuo had run off to last night. Even the girl in front of him had only spoken a couple of hasty words before leaving. If he could have found Wang Shuo in his dormitory, he wouldn't have waited here all night.

However, it was precisely this delay that had cooled his anxious mood somewhat.

Although he was still anxious and wished he could fly to Wang Shuo immediately, if this eagerness only caused Wang Shuo to look down on him, he would rather wait a bit longer, just like now.

But the young girl in front of him wasn't easy to deal with either; she seemed to have seen through part of his intentions. Professor Qian Qidong couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, carefully pondering what price he could offer.

Since he didn't speak, Liu Yemei didn't speak either, simply standing quietly to the side. As for Xu Kexin, she looked at one, then the other, completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

This old gentleman had been very amiable and talkative last night. Why did he become completely tight-lipped today after seeing Sister Liu?

So complicated...

When Wang Shuo stepped through the company doors, this was the scene he witnessed.

The three of them stood facing each other in a tense atmosphere, snapping Wang Shuo out of Zheng Jun's endless compliments. He walked toward Professor Qian Qidong, who was sitting on the sofa, somewhat speechless.

"Professor Qian, don't tell me you've been waiting here all night?"

At the same time, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Was there something wrong with Professor Qian? Just because he hadn't given up his seat while sunbathing, did the professor really have to run from school to here, and from here to school to corner him? What's more, when he couldn't find him, he even ran to the company and stayed overnight. Was there some kind of deep-seated hatred between them?

In front of him, Professor Qian Qidong looked at the person he had been waiting for all night. All the words he wanted to say melted into a smile, just like when he had first met Wang Shuo.

"Student Wang Shuo, meeting you again. Let me introduce myself, my name is Qian Qidong."
