Chapter 46 Difficulty
At the exchange meeting, the group sat together, and the six people were arranged in a staggered manner.
"Fellow citizens of the Spree Galaxy, we come from the First Military Academy and extend our sincere greetings on behalf of the entire First Military Region. The First Military Region is an inclusive whole, and we cordially invite students from your esteemed institution to enroll and join our great collective..."
"Our school has outstanding students from the local area, as well as students from other military regions, and we treat them all equally..."
Zhou Jiu listened from below, no wonder they needed the three of them to be mere decorations at this time.
The leader finished speaking shortly afterward and began the other segments, including an interview segment with student representatives.
Zhou Jiu's eyes flickered. No one had told the three of them about this part, and it wasn't in the notice either. Zhou Jiu was a little confused. If the three of them didn't perform well, shouldn't Jun Yi be the one who lost face?
The reporter interviewed Ye Yang first, "Ye Yang, as a representative of Junyi School, what would you like to say to the students of Sipu Middle School?"
"As a student representative of Military Academy, I am very nervous. When I was a middle school student, I enrolled in some courses at Spee High School on the StarNet and attended classes with everyone in the virtual space. However, I still regret that I never actually entered the campus and experienced the teaching atmosphere of your school with everyone. Now I am very fortunate to have such an opportunity and I am looking forward to the exchange student life with everyone. At the same time, I look forward to the future when we become classmates and work together towards the future at Military Academy."
The crowd applauded. Zhou Jiu's heart skipped a beat. This was amazing; he had been taking classes at Sprague High School even before the news was reported. Although she guessed that Ye Yang might have started preparing when the Sprague Star Project began.
"I didn't expect our student Ye Yang to like Spu Middle School so much. What a coincidence! I hope Ye Yang will have a fun time on campus. Classmates, are you looking forward to it?"
"Looking forward to it!" The voices shouted loudly.
Ye Yang continued the interview with a few more questions, and his answers were met with cheers from the students below. During the interview, Ye Yang also shared some of the fun he had learning about mecha.
As the applause and cheers subsided, the reporter brought up Zhou Jiu again, "Hello, Zhou Jiu, you've become quite the internet celebrity lately. What are your thoughts on coming to Spu Middle School?"
Zhou Jiu picked up the microphone, a slight smile on her well-behaved face: "Of course I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited about any unknown journey. Since you say I'm a celebrity, then I suppose everyone knows me pretty well. I don't have that many opportunities to learn."
"Oh? With the StarNet being so convenient, doesn't Zhou Jiu have time to study? Didn't you ever yearn for the courses at Spruce High School?" the reporter continued, smiling.
“That reporter probably doesn’t know much about E-Star. Back then, we had limited internet access on campus, only for courses that were publicly available on campus. We could only go online after school and when we were out eating. Of course, you can check my records of taking classes on E-Star, but back then I would only go online after dinner and before the school checked the dorms,” Zhou Jiu continued with a smile.
"Don't you guys get weekends off? E-Star is restricting internet access, that's unbelievable, is it because they're poor?"
"Going to scavenge on a desolate planet during the holidays?" Zhou Jiu said matter-of-factly, then continued, "We're military reserve students. Many theoretical classes on the StarNet aren't as convenient as practical classes. After all, anyone who knows astronomy and geography knows that Planet E's location is special. Staying alive is the most important thing, isn't it?"
The reporter twitched his lips, and the hidden malice in his eyes was sensed by Zhou Jiu's mental power.
"As a military reserve student of the Third Military Region, why did you apply for the First Military Region? Was it because you longed for the First Military Region, were you dissatisfied with the Third Military Region, or did the hardships of life on Star E make you back down?"
Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow: "There's no other reason, it's just because of love."
"Is Zhou Jiu unable to answer this?"
"Of course not. I'm a fortune teller and believe in fate. I divined that my lover was at the First Military Hospital, so naturally I went there. What's wrong with that?"
The reporter pressed on: "People online say you're just trying to attract attention, do you agree?"
"You mean the 'bad luck charm'?"
"Hmm... If anyone wants to experience it, just curse me online and you'll know." Zhou Jiu's usually well-behaved face was unusually unrestrained, showing a hint of arrogance. She wasn't indifferent to all the malice.
"Of course, if you're curious, you can try it too. Live stream yourself insulting me and experience the effects of the bad luck charm afterward, and you'll know whether I'm just trying to attract attention." Zhou Jiu raised his head and slightly tilted his chin towards the students sitting below. "Classmates, do you want to see?"
"Yes." The voice was loud, and there were a few cracked sounds in it.
Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mr. Reporter, since everyone is so eager to see this, please remember to treat them to something nice after the interview."
Of course, Zhou Jiu didn't know that her words inspired many live streamers. For a time, there was a surge of people doing live streams with the meme and getting hit by the unlucky charm, which made her even more popular online.
The reporter's expression changed slightly, but he quickly smiled again and continued, "Is Zhou Jiu a love-obsessed person when it comes to pursuing love?"
"So, Mr. Reporter, do you think that as a representative of the military, my achievements are not enough? While balancing my studies, having a sweet romance is also something I pursue. This is what I said before: I have high hopes for the unknown journey, not just for love, but also for the future and whether I can become friends with everyone and have a friendship."
Seeing that they couldn't stump Zhou Jiu, the reporter quickly turned to the others for answers.
Zhou Jiu's interview quickly went viral online. A well-known blogger on Xingwang, Sesame Black Dumpling, saw the unlucky charm and quickly started a live stream:
"Hello everyone, I am Sesame Black Dumpling. I believe you have all seen my title. I am here to try making a bad luck charm."
"Please don't scold me, everyone. I'm also a fan of Zhou Jiu's humanoid mecha, but you know, curiosity is something to be understood."
"Everyone, write down your insults in the comments. I'll pick one to type in and let you see the effect. Of course, don't include Zhou Jiu's name. It would be really bad if it happened to you."
Knowing that she couldn't be too harsh in the live stream, Sesame Black Dumpling wrote a comment she had chosen that wasn't too offensive under Zhou Jiu's unlucky charm: Zhou Jiu, you bum, you idiot.
"I want to apologize to Zhou Jiu first."
"Okay, the comments have been posted. Let's see how unlucky I am today by doing a live stream."
"Okay, to be honest, as a person from the new technological age of interstellar society, I don't really believe that there are things that can bring bad luck. But Zhou Jiu's mental healing talisman is really effective, so I'm going to give it a try. If you really have bad luck, some haters, remember to delete it as soon as possible."
