For a moment.
Quite a few people in the luxurious conference room gaped, their faces filled with disbelief, as though they suspected they had misheard.
What did that mean?
The student council president had personally invited him, yet he had actually turned her down!
Turning her down would have been one thing.
If there had been some important matter, then refusing would have been understandable.
But his reason for refusing was merely... "I'm getting ready to sleep"?
Good heavens!
That excuse was dripping with naked contempt for the student council president!
Do not underestimate the student councils of every combat vocational university!
The student council wielded considerable authority.
For example, if you wanted to apply for permission to enter a real-world resource Secret Realm—
You first had to pass the student council's review before it could be submitted to the school's relevant administrative department for approval and stamping.
If you offended one of the student council officers, then setting aside everything else, they could easily hold up your access to resource Secret Realms.
Even if you went to a teacher seeking justice, the student council could still provide an entirely reasonable explanation:
"Sorry, it's not your turn for the resource Secret Realm access application you submitted. There are actually plenty of people queued up ahead of you."
What that really meant was: I'd let anyone else go in to kill monsters and gain experience before I let you in! And there was nothing you could do about it!
So generally speaking, in order to avoid being sabotaged behind the scenes, many students worked hard to maintain good relationships with the student council departments.
Which was why...
After hearing Ling Zhan's excuse, these student council members immediately felt somewhat slighted and insulted!
He simply did not take the student council seriously
