Chapter 1034: Igniting the Internet!
"I've got it! It's someone he works with. The young lady is very capable; the two of them are a perfect match!" The old lady nodded with a smile.
"That's good. So, do your three kids have boyfriends yet? Ah Yin is so outstanding, your door must be constantly being visited by suitors, right?"
"As for matters of the heart within Ah Yin's organization, there's no need to worry; the organization will take care of everything, right?"
"What about Ahua? She's a pretty young lady. If you don't have one, I have a boyfriend I can introduce you to. He's not bad either. He's from a top university in the province and works at a cigarette factory after graduation. He has good pay and benefits, and he's good-looking too. I can't say for sure about your Ayin, but you could check out Ahua. She's on vacation right now, so let's find some time to meet her."
These qualifications would make them a very good candidate among ordinary people, but they are not enough for the Gu family.
"No need. Ah Hua has a boyfriend now, they met at school. Ah Shu also has one. They're all busy with their New Year's celebrations. We don't interfere in the children's affairs; everyone has their own destiny!" The old lady shook her head with a smile.
Hearing that all three of the Gu family's children have partners, those who are interested can't help but feel a little regretful.
Seeing that there were no oddballs around, Gu Yin sat for a while and then went back to wash up, as she had to return to the city early the next morning.
The next morning, after getting up early and having breakfast, everyone except the old lady, the old man, and Gu Ran started their return journey.
It was an hour later when we got back to the city.
"The opening is at ten o'clock, there's still an hour left. Let's see if we need to make any preparations?" Wei Yue looked at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin shook her head: "No need, it's just a ribbon-cutting ceremony, then we'll tour the school and take photos, and then we'll distribute advertisements. I know the whole process."
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Wansheng and the others and said, "You guys shouldn't participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Let's go back to Beijing now. I'm worried it might not be safe for you then."
If she and the soldiers with superpowers appear, their family here will likely be targeted. With so many people, any sudden movement could lead to oversights, no matter how good the protection.
Her family is her life; she doesn't want to use words like "what if" or "maybe".
Zhou Wansheng knew her worries and didn't join in: "I know, the car is already waiting downstairs. We'll leave right away. Take care of yourself."
Chi Xing couldn't leave Gu Yin's side, so Wei Yue arranged for some people to put Zhou Wansheng and the others on a private plane to fly to Beijing.
With ten minutes left, Gu Yin picked up her phone and stood up: "Let's go, let's go downstairs."
When I arrived at the school gate, the heads of government departments such as the Education Bureau, the Municipal Party Committee, the Military Department, and the Propaganda Department were already waiting there.
A large group of reporters were also gathered around.
Gu Yin greeted them one by one.
Reporters immediately swarmed around.
"Hello Ms. Zhou, I am a reporter from the local daily newspaper. Everyone is curious about what the Five Elements Academy teaches. I just looked at the brochure and I have questions about many of the professional terms. Could you please explain them to me?"
"Hello, I'm a reporter from the provincial newspaper. What was your original intention in creating this school? Could you explain it?"
"Hello, I'm from an entertainment newspaper. Do you have anything to say about the speculations circulating online regarding the purpose of your trip?"
As soon as these people approached, they were stopped by the guards.
Gu Yin raised her hand: "Your questions will be answered one by one later. Now it's time to prepare for the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony. I hope you can stand quietly to the side. Thank you. If anyone causes trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, he ignored them and walked directly to the ribbon-cutting location.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was quite grand. On the wall next to the main entrance, clips of a fantasy action scene produced by a special department were projected, and they were quite impressive.
After the host finished speaking, Gu Yin stood in the middle and followed the others to cut the ribbon.
"Everyone is curious about what the 'Five Elements Academy' does. Now, please follow us as we tour the school and listen to Zhou Shen explain it to you!"
After the host finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin took it, and the group slowly walked into the school.
"The Five Elements, I believe everyone understands them. They are the five basic elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, used to explain the composition and transformation of all things in nature. Going further into the details would be quite profound, so I won't go into it. To put it simply, our school is recruiting a group of students to study some special majors. These majors are related to the Five Elements. In addition to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, there are also abilities such as healing, light, and ice that we are unaware of. I've seen people online saying that I might have some supernatural abilities to learn. You could say that. That's right, the people I'm recruiting are those who are interested in supernatural abilities. This is just the headquarters, currently in the trial phase. I look forward to everyone's arrival and to embarking on a cultivation journey called 'Spiritual Qi Revival' with me!"
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she handed the microphone to the other person and then followed the camera around the school.
The ancient-style buildings inside, such as the Bagua formation and the Yin-Yang Tai Chi playground, amazed everyone.
However, none of these experiences could compare to the shock of what Gu Yin said!
"I know you all have a lot of questions to ask. Let's go to the meeting room now, and I will answer the questions from the audience and those from the internet later." After touring the school, Gu Yin led everyone to the meeting room.
"Comrade Zhou, all major online platforms are currently down. Many departments have received reports that you are engaging in pyramid schemes or superstitious activities. All transportation tickets to Jiang City are sold out! The number of vehicles heading here on nearby highways is also increasing, but don't worry, it's all under control!"
As soon as he sat down, Wei Yue, who was sitting next to him, began to give a report.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "What about the flight status of my family member's plane?"
"Everything is stable and there are no problems. However, some people from your Li Family Village have started heading that way. But our soldiers are guarding the area, so you don't need to worry."
Gu Yin remained silent. After everyone was seated, she looked at the information on her phone and casually pointed to one of the reporters.
"Go ahead and ask."
The reporter, a young woman, paused for a moment, then immediately stood up: "Hello, Master Zhou! Is the Five Elements Academy the same as the Supernatural Ability Academy? Is the spiritual energy restoration you mentioned the kind that the general public knows about? Does your school teach people skills, or does it 'develop' human limits? In other words, is your school, on the surface, a school, but actually a laboratory? Conducting experiments that violate human ethics! Please answer this!"
Those around her subtly shifted to the side as she asked her question.
Everyone around her gasped in admiration! So brave!
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person: "A reporter from the Municipal Daily? How dare you ask such a question? Aren't you afraid of offending me?"
The girl nodded and then shook her head upon hearing this: "My question is also the question of the public. As for whether I'm afraid of offending you, of course I am. But I have read all your interviews. You are not the kind of person who speaks without reason or without purpose. The fact that you dared to say it and dared to open this school means that you must have made all the preparations and already succeeded before you released the news. So I'm not afraid to ask. I just want the public to understand your purpose and what changes this will bring to everyone!"
Gu Yin nodded approvingly: "Very good!"
"The Five Elements School is a school for people with special abilities. The 'spiritual energy restoration' is what you, the general public, know about it! The students we recruit are either ordinary people without any foundation or special people with a foundation. I previously developed some potions that mainly improve human genes. Note that it's about improving, not changing! It removes inferior genes, stimulates superior genes, and then, through the combination with my potions, triggers the limits to generate special abilities. As for the claims online that it violates the bottom line of human ethics, I do not acknowledge them!"
"Our country has always been committed to protecting our genes. When I first proposed this project, I was scolded by the leaders and the experiment was stopped. I had proposed this project back when I was in college, but it was only in the last two years that we were able to start operating. It went through layers of checks, tests, and reviews, and then clinical trials before it appeared before you! The country has already asked about your concerns, worried about your concerns, and conducted experiments for you. The country has tried all the possible problems for you, so you don't need to worry about any of these. I'm not the kind of person who is anti-human. I did this experiment simply because I love reading novels and I'm purely interested in spiritual energy. I have brains and money, so I just got started! And by accident, I actually succeeded! It's that simple!"
"As for what changes this will bring to society, I'll answer you with a quote from an online netizen: If you're still watching and waiting, when we're all flying in the sky, burrowing underground, and diving underwater, you'll still be running on the ground!"
Gu Yin's simple and straightforward words immediately went viral online!
