Chapter 533: Your Family Is Really Good at Calculating
The three of them stayed in the library until class started.
There were two foreign language classes in the afternoon. Chu Luo had just walked to the door of the School of Foreign Languages when she bumped into Professor Chen, who was walking towards the Chinese department.
When Professor Chen saw her, he suddenly stopped her. “Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo stopped and walked over. “Professor Chen.”
Professor Chen thought for a while and asked, “Chu Luo, have you heard what happened to the Archeology Department previously?”
Professor Chen was referring to the group of professors and teachers who had gone missing in the ancient tomb.
The school had suppressed this matter, but they had still learned what they had to know.
Chu Luo nodded.
Professor Chen sighed and said, “The archeology department is like this. But after losing so many professors and teachers at once, they’re overwhelmed right now.”
Chu Luo asked, “Overwhelmed by what?”
“Recently, the National Bureau of Cultural Sciences discovered a large number of damaged cultural relics in a sepulcher tomb and wants our Imperial University to help repair a portion. I’ve seen it before. Many of those cultural relics are carved with text, so our Chinese Department is sending me to study those words.”
“Are these newly discovered words?”
“Yes, it’s words that aren’t recorded in ancient literature. Little Chu, you’re smart and you’re good at learning. If you have time, you can come over with me to study it.”
Chu Luo was very interested in the words Professor Chen mentioned, so she nodded and said, “I’ll go over after school.”
“Okay, there are professors and teachers working overtime these few days. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go over. You can just go to the repair room.”
“Okay.”
After the two of them finished speaking, Chu Luo went to the classroom.
The moment she entered the classroom, she was surrounded by a group of students.
While everyone congratulated her, they kept asking about the gaming capsule.
“Chu Luo, do you know when the gaming capsule will be sold after the open beta?”
“Is a holographic game really that awesome? Can you enter the game with your own consciousness? Will there be any adverse reactions then?”
“Chu Luo, you said that when the gaming capsule connects to the brainwaves, it stimulates the brain cells. What good does that do us?”
…
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited as they asked, Chu Luo made a shushing gesture at them and said, “When the time comes, Blazing Glory’s gaming department will explain these questions to everyone in a written manner. You will see them on Blazing Glory’s official website in two days.
“There are still two minutes until class starts. If you want to know anything, you can ask Roundy after class.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard ‘Roundy’. Then, someone realized that Chu Luo was talking about her robot.
“Chu Luo, are you asking us to ask your robot?”
“That’s right. Roundy knows about all my matters.”
She had already entered a program into Roundy and answered everyone’s questions.
This way, she wouldn’t have to answer them one by one.
Since Chu Luo had said that, everyone returned to their seats.
After that, Chu Luo went to a classroom and repeated what she had said in the previous classroom to them.
This way, she could also relax.
After school in the afternoon, she had just walked out of the school building when she received a call from Sun Tianhao.
Sun Tianhao asked her, “Chu Luo, do you want to go back? If so, I’ll send you off.”
During this period of time, she didn’t have to go back to the villa to do experiments. Li Yan would also work overtime until past ten every night. She definitely wouldn’t go back so early.
She said, “I’m going back later.”
Sun Tianhao said, “Alright, we stopped many reporters outside. We’re just worried that someone will sneak into Imperial University. You have to be careful.”
Chu Luo replied, “Got it.”
The two of them hung up. Chu Luo prepared to walk towards the Archeology Department after eating.
Unexpectedly, not long after she left, she met Nangong Yi, who was also walking over.
Nangong Yi was a little surprised to see Chu Luo. “Chu Luo, you’re going to the Archeology Department too?”
Chu Luo nodded and asked, “Why are you going there?”
“I took another antique over a few days ago and asked a professor to repair it. I’ll go see how the repair is going today.”
Chu Luo looked at him strangely. “Why do you have so many antiques that need repair?”
Nangong Yi smiled and explained, “Because my family is in this line of business.”
“Your family runs an antique shop?”
“No. My family runs an auction house. It’s inevitable that we’ll receive those damaged cultural relics and antiques. These cultural relics and antiques aren’t valuable before they’re repaired. Once they’re repaired, we can earn a huge sum.”
Chu Luo looked at him with bright eyes. “Your family is really good at calculating.”
Nangong Yi chuckled. “Junior, don’t tell me you’re thinking about how smart our family is to bring damaged antiques to Imperial University to repair every time in order to save money?”
“Yes.”
“Haha, Junior, you’re mistaken. Actually the reason I brought the antiques to the Imperial University Archaeology Department to be repaired is also to let the Archaeology Department earn money together. After the antiques are repaired and sold, we’ll split the profits evenly.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she was silent for a while. She nodded and didn’t say anything else.
The two of them walked over.
The teachers and students from the Archeology Department basically wouldn’t stay for evening self-study.
“The people in this faculty believe in certain superstitions. Many of the items sent to them are antiques that were dug out from ancient tombs. The Yin aura is strong at night.”
Nangong Yi obviously knew the Archaeology Department very well. “They will only leave some people behind to do the repair work if they’re in a hurry. Usually, the students here don’t attend evening self-study.”
As they spoke, they walked into the Archeology Department.
The moment they walked in, they saw a classmate waiting for them in the courtyard.
When that classmate saw Chu Luo, his eyes lit up. “Chu Luo, you’re here too.”
Chu Luo nodded. “I’m here to look for Professor Chen from the Chinese department.”
“The professors went to eat. They asked me to wait for President Nangong here. Since you’re here, I’ll bring you to the repair room first.”
After saying that, he turned around and led the two of them into the school.
The wind was a little strong tonight, and it looked like it was about to snow. The student who led the way said, “The professors and teachers have been busy for the past two days. They’ve been working until midnight every night. President, your antiques might not be repaired yet.”
Nangong Yi wasn’t in a hurry. “It’s okay. I’m just here to take a look.”
The two of them were brought to the door of the backyard repair room. The student who led the way said, “You guys go in and wait. The professors and teachers should be coming soon. I’ll go eat first.”
“Thank you for waiting for us here for so long.”
“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all.” That person even smiled and said to Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
After the person leading the way left, Chu Luo and Nangong Yi entered the repair room.
Chu Luo had previously been here. Tonight, she realized that there were indeed more things that needed to be repaired in the repair room than when she came last time. She looked at it casually.
On the other hand, Nangong Yi wasn’t interested in anything else. He walked over and sat in front of a bronze statue to study it.
The two of them didn’t stay for long before the professors and teachers returned.
Professor Chen from the Chinese department also came with them.
Chu Luo and Nangong Yi greeted all the professors and teachers.
A professor smiled and asked kindly, “I heard that Chu Luo is very interested in the repair of cultural relics in our archeology department. Chu Luo, do you want to come over and help us repair this batch of cultural relics?”
Professor Chen immediately helped Chu Luo say, “Professor Zhang, don’t make things difficult for Chu Luo. Her schedule is packed with classes every day. How can she have so much time to repair the ancient artifact with you?”
Professor Zhang glanced at Professor Chen in dissatisfaction. “Since Chu Luo’s schedule is very full, why did you ask for her help then, Professor Chen?”
Professor Chen smiled smugly. “I booked her before you did.”
Professor Zhang glared at him.
The others couldn’t help but laugh.
A teacher said to Nangong Yi, “Student Nangong, you’re here to take that antique from last time, right?”
“Yes.” Nangong Yi nodded.
The teacher said in an apologetic tone, “Student Nangong, you’ve made a wasted trip. Recently, we’ve been in a hurry to accept this batch of cultural relics. We can only push back your antique a little and fix it at a later date.”
“It’s okay. I’m just here to take a look so that I can report to my father.”
“Haha, alright then. I’ll call Mr. Nangong tomorrow and explain the situation.”
“Thank you, Teacher Gu.”
“It’s no trouble.”
After everyone spoke for a while, the professors and teachers started to repair the cultural relics.
Teacher Chen brought Chu Luo to a work table and gave her a magnifying glass. Then, he pointed at the jade slip the size of a textbook and said, “Chu Luo, we’ll study the words on this tonight. You can copy them on paper first.”
Chu Luo nodded and sat down to copy those words.
Nangong Yi wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He followed Professor Zhang and watched him repair the cultural relics.
Time passed by slowly. When Chu Luo’s phone rang, she realized that it was already ten o’clock.
It was Li Yan, who called to say that he would pick her up.
