As Kunlun's admission notices were issued one after another, news about the Time Walker School immediately became a trending topic.
However, no matter how much the news spreads, no one on the internet knows exactly where the school is.
A school large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, encompassing primary school to university, was located in a place that nobody knew.
As usual, Luo Wanyai rode his bicycle to Los Angeles Polytechnic University, first returning the "Modern Chinese History" and "Biographies of Great People" that he had borrowed earlier.
He borrowed a new copy of "Wang Yangming's Philosophy of the Mind," not because he had any interest in Wang Yangming, but simply because he wanted to understand the extraordinary life of this one of only two sages in Chinese history, and the principles he upheld.
There are only two sages in Chinese history: Confucius and Wang Yangming. Luo Wanyai felt that he would hardly understand Confucius in his lifetime, so he decided to try to understand the other one.
After borrowing the books, Luo Wanyai went to the School of Humanities to attend a law class.
Finally, I went to take an international relations class.
The teacher of the International Relations class is still that intellectual and charming female teacher, and she is now used to Luo Wanyai's visits.
Luo Wanyai was wearing glasses, which made him look quite different from his usual self, but he was still recognized.
During break, a male classmate walked up to him and cautiously asked, "Hello, are you a member of Bai Zhou? I think I've seen you on the news. Online, everyone says you're from Bai Zhou."
Luo Wanyai smiled and said, "Yes, that's me."
The male student was somewhat taken aback. How could he admit it so easily?
Luo Wanyai said, "Being a member of Daylight is not a shameful thing, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
After all, photos of all the members of Daylight have already been exposed, so hiding them would only make us seem petty.
Moreover, Qing Chen had specifically instructed us on this matter, emphasizing that we should be open and aboveboard during the day and need not hide anything.
At this moment, the students in the classroom gradually became surprised. Recently, the matter of Daylight has been trending on social media every day, especially since the Mysterious Affairs Department just recently issued a bounty for the entire Daylight.
Including the previous incident of blowing up the shrine, Bai Zhou's popularity was higher than that of Kunlun and Jiuzhou for a time.
The most popular one is still Qing Chen himself.
His photo has been published by unscrupulous media. When people see the photo, they can't connect the handsome young man in the photo with the person who went on a killing spree in Osaka.
Everyone thought that someone as good-looking as him should be singing, dancing, rapping, and playing basketball. How did he manage to break out of the A02 Base and do so many sensational things?
At first, no one believed it was Qing Chen himself, but soon an ID called "Monopoly" started exclusively revealing information online, such as details of Qing Chen's life in the Inner World, and details of the A02 battle. These were all things that the intelligence agencies in the Inner World knew, but the Outer World was not yet clear about.
Among them, a photo of Qing Chen walking on the streets of City No. 10 was also released.
He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie.
Behind Qing Chen were the intelligence officers from the Intelligence Department One, who revered him like a god.
He is like a modern-day godfather.
The Monopoly magazine released another photo of Qing Chen, alone in a white tracksuit, standing aloof and independent in the dazzling city...
It must be said that this tycoon's use of city surveillance cameras is quite sophisticated, even more so than that of paparazzi.
The clean-cut young man in the photo looks completely different from the fierce image in the rumors, and this huge contrast immediately won him fans.
After the Monopoly scandal broke, her popularity skyrocketed, and then she started accepting gigs yesterday and is even planning to do live-streaming e-commerce.
This guy made a fortune off Qing Chen.
In the past two days, someone even created Weibo super topic for Qing Chen, and countless people check in every day, making him a new generation of internet celebrity...
Several film crews contacted Jiang Xue, wanting to invite Qing Chen to act in their productions, but Jiang Xue refused them all.
The female teacher stood on the podium, organizing her lesson plan while glancing at Luo Wanyai with great interest from time to time.
She seemed somewhat curious as to why such a person would come to listen to her lecture.
In the news, Luo Wanyai was not an intellectual, but a former Jianghu boss in Los Angeles.
A female classmate approached Luo Wanyai and whispered, "Excuse me, could you please help us get Qing Chen to sign his autograph?"
Luo Wanyai smiled and shook his head, "That's my boss. I can't agree to these things on his behalf. I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he stood up, took his notes, walked to the female teacher's side, and asked some questions that he hadn't understood in class.
The female teacher looked at Luo Wanyai with great interest. "Mr. Luo, I'm very curious, why are you suddenly so interested in teaching at your age? As far as I know, you're quite a well-known figure at the school now. You not only attend my classes, but you're also auditing law, Modern Chinese History, and macroeconomics. Could you tell me why?"
Luo Wanyai pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and replied, "Many things I'm doing now are leaving me feeling somewhat overwhelmed. As the organization develops, I know exactly where the problems are, but I don't know how to solve them. So I want to recharge myself and find some answers from others."
"As far as I know, the problems of the Daylight Organization don't seem to require your attention," the female teacher said, somewhat puzzled.
Luo Wanyai smiled and said, "I wasn't talking about daytime."
The Parent's Association gone through a period of rapid, unregulated growth. Now it needs to work in accordance with Qing Chen's will to become a stronger and more cohesive organization, which will bring many challenges.
For example, establishing organizational culture, communicating organizational principles, improving personnel promotion processes, and setting common goals and visions.
Luo Wanyai had never done this before. The only principle of Jianghu is money. Do one job, and then everyone splits the profits.
Parent's Association today cannot do this.
Just then, the class bell rang. The female teacher glanced at the notes in Luo Wanyai's hand and said, "You've accumulated quite a few questions. Why don't you treat me to dinner after I get off work tonight, and we can chat while we eat?"
Luo Wanyai was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll drive over to pick you up."
After returning to the villa, Luo Wanyai glanced at the Bai Zhou villa and, after confirming that everyone was cultivating and that he didn't need to do anything, went back to his own place to take a shower and change clothes.
As evening approached, he drove his Bentley Continental GT, worth over four million yuan, and parked it in front of the Kaiyuan Campus of Los Angeles Polytechnic University.
The female teacher walked out of the school gate with great charm, sat in the passenger seat, and after only a brief glance, joked, "This passenger seat hasn't been used in a long time, has it?"
Luo Wanyai looked slightly embarrassed. "I rarely drive this car anymore."
At the upscale restaurant that Luo Wanyai had booked, the two hit it off immediately and chatted happily.
Romantic relationships between adult men and women have become less about naivety and coyness, and more about directness and desire.
During the meal, the female teacher asked many questions about the Inner World, showing a strong interest in Inner World.
They talked about political systems in the Inner World, then about political systems in the Outer World, and then about ancient slavery in modern history.
Finally, they talked about island nations. Luo Wanyai recounted his story of running away to that country, while the female teacher shared her interesting experiences studying in America.
As the dinner was drawing to a close, the female teacher suddenly said, "With your abilities, you are fully capable of having your own career and achievements. At this age, you possess the focus and perseverance to learn, and you also have your own methods. You deserve better, not to be subordinate to others."
Luo Wanyai pondered for a moment, then pretended not to understand. "What do you mean? You know I'm not well-educated and don't understand hints."
The female teacher smiled and shook her head, "It's alright, I was just saying it casually."
Luo Wanyai escorted the female teacher back to the staff and family quarters of the university. Upon arriving at the building, the teacher smiled and asked, "My cat can make coffee, would you like to come up and take a look?"
Luo Wanyai politely shook his head and said, "No need, it's too late, I'm afraid it might cause some misunderstanding if I go up there."
"He's quite the gentleman at this moment," the female teacher glanced at Luo Wanyai sideways, then went upstairs with a smile.
There was no disdain in that sidelong glance; the gaze that flowed from the corner of his eye was both alluring and seductive in the night, captivating and mesmerizing.
Luo Wanyai drove his Bentley aimlessly for a long time before stopping in front of a building.
He sat in his car, lit a cigarette, and watched a middle-aged woman walk upstairs arm in arm with her husband, her expression serene and happy.
The middle-aged woman turned around and inadvertently saw Luo Wanyai in the car. She smiled at her husband and said, "You go up first, I've run into an acquaintance."
After saying that, she walked over, got into the car, and asked, "The perfume in the passenger seat smells just right. The person you just drove in the passenger seat must have been much more outstanding than me, and younger too."
Luo Wanyai chuckled and said, "Of course. When I married you, I didn't know anything. There were so many good options, but I just liked you. Now that I'm more knowledgeable and have money, I'll definitely choose the best."
The middle-aged woman laughed and scolded, "You're such a character! I've never seen you in a suit and tie before. Now you're even wearing glasses. You look just like a refined businessman."
"It's all just for show, isn't that what all upper-class people have to do?" Luo Wanyai said.
The middle-aged woman suddenly said, "Old Luo, how long have we been divorced?"
Luo Wanyai paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed, seemingly unrelated to the question, "Time flies by so quickly; before you know it, half a lifetime has passed."
