Every Child Prodigy gazed eagerly at the dean. Everyone had discussed this privately, and some had even searched all over campus for an entrance to the underground space, but they had found nothing.
Song He wore a mysterious smile. "There is one. Who did you hear it from?"
"Teacher Bai told us. They said some of the Teacher Bais were transferred underground to work. There were an enormous number of them, in batches. We guessed the underground section of the Former University of Science and Technology might be huge, perhaps the size of several stadiums." Yuan Tiangang sounded eager. "Can you tell us about it? What exactly is it for?"
"The scale really isn't small. Several stadiums is an exaggeration, though. It's about the size of one stadium." Song He flashed a sly smile. "I'm not telling you for now. Once you complete this mission, I can take you underground to have a look."
The Child Prodigies were both expectant and anxious. They collectively fretted, practically itching to get a Luoyang Shovel and start digging wildly around campus.
"By the mission, do you mean guarding the Gorilla Laboratory for a year, or building a new supercomputer?" Yuan Tiangang confirmed.
"Either works. Whichever you finish first, I'll take you underground." Song He smiled. "You aren't short of money, and money can't motivate you anymore. But this secret is still quite exciting, and it may exceed your imagination. For the underground section of the Former University of Science and Technology, I burned through a truly enormous amount of money!"
The Child Prodigies wailed, rubbing their faces in agony and complaining that the dean was deliberately keeping them in suspense.
