Chapter 157 Death Alert?
"!!!"
Hearing Luo Sheng's words at the next table, Teacher Zhu was so angry that she was about to slam her hand on the table.
You bastard Luo Sheng!
So shameless!
They actually poached our people right in front of us?
Xiao Li stopped him, shook her head, and gestured for him to bear with it for now.
MIT?
Lin Chen repeated the sentence, his tone seemingly filled with confusion.
"That's right! MIT!"
Luo Sheng nodded with certainty.
"Lin Chen, your performance at the IMO is remarkable. Although the results haven't been announced yet, I've already heard some rumors."
"I heard that your performance in this final competition even won the appreciation of the organizing committee and the senior management of the International Mathematical Olympiad Foundation!"
"so……"
Before Luo Sheng could finish speaking, several waiters came over with Lin Chen and his group's late-night snack.
Looking at the fragrant steak in front of him, Lin Chen's appetite was whetted.
But Luo Sheng still wanted to continue.
"Excuse me, let's eat first, and then we can talk."
Lin Chen stopped him with a single sentence, then picked up his knife and fork and began to eat heartily.
Watching the three tables of Chinese people enjoying their meal.
Luo Sheng had no choice but to strategically drink water to cover up his embarrassment.
Tang Ming and Zhang Qing were both swallowing hard.
Watching others eat meat while you can only drink water is so damn painful!
A dozen minutes later, seeing Lin Chen swallow the last bite of meat, Luo Sheng couldn't help but say:
"Lin Chen, let's continue..."
"Wait, I remember there was dessert after the meal, waiter!"
Seeing Lin Chen use fluent Australian-accented English to order dessert from the waiter, Luo Sheng had no choice but to shut his mouth again.
Then the three of them continued to watch Lin Chen and the others enjoy their food, while they could only drink water.
Finally, after Lin Chen had finished eating the dessert, Luo Sheng finally had a chance to speak again.
"Lin Chen, the United States greatly admires your talent. The president of the US Mathematical Olympiad Council told me that if you are willing, we would be happy to recommend you to MIT."
"Mr. Luo, didn't they tell you?"
Lin Chen pointed to Tang Ming and Zhang Qing.
"At this time, the college entrance examination in China has already ended. If nothing unexpected happens, I should have been admitted to Longke University."
Luo Sheng said with a look of disdain, "Lin Chen, to be frank, compared to MIT, let alone Longke University, even Tsinghua and Peking University are nothing!"
"MIT is the world's top university. Its academic atmosphere and resources are incomparable to those of universities in your Dragon Country."
At this point, Luo Sheng gave a wink to the two people beside him.
Tang Ming and Zhang Qing immediately chimed in, "Yes, Lin Chen, this is MIT! Even Americans don't have an easy time getting in. Shouldn't you cherish this opportunity?"
"Compared to MIT, universities in China are nothing!"
"Tang Ming and Zhang Qing!"
Teacher Zhu finally couldn't help but stand up.
"It's fine for the two of you to go to the US; that's your own choice! Why do you have to insult universities in our Dragon Country?"
"Professor Zhu, are we wrong? What are Tsinghua and Peking University's QS rankings? What about MIT? Are they comparable?" Tang Ming said dismissively.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Lin Chen wiped his mouth and said:
"Mr. Luo, thank you for the invitation, but shouldn't excellent schools cultivate their own outstanding talents? Since MIT is so prestigious, it shouldn't need me."
"I'm sorry, I have no interest in MIT."
"watt?!"
Luo Sheng said angrily, "Lin Chen, do you know what you're rejecting? You're rejecting an opportunity to change your life!"
"Your mathematical talent is extraordinary, but under the education system of China, it will only be buried!"
"But I don't see these two people changing much despite their education in the US?"
Lin Chen smiled and pointed at Tang Ming and Zhang Qing.
"I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. I'm sorry, I don't think there's any need for us to talk anymore. Excuse me."
After saying that, Luo Sheng got up and prepared to leave with Tang Ming and the others.
In Luo Sheng's view, there is no need for the United States to win over someone who cannot even see the gap between universities in the two countries.
Looking back, Lin Chen's only outstanding performance was in one math Olympiad competition.
Aren't students taught in the Dragon Kingdom best at solving problems?
When he grows up, he'll realize that math isn't just about solving problems.
He will definitely regret missing this opportunity in the future!
But just a few meters after Luo Sheng and his group walked out...
"Mr. Luo, wait a moment!"
Luo Sheng stopped in his tracks, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Did that kid regret it?
"Mr. Luo, you can leave, but could you please pay the bill first?"
"Wang Defa!"
Luo Sheng couldn't hold back his profanity and swore out loud.
"Sir, this is a fine restaurant, please maintain your manners!"
A restaurant manager immediately jumped out and handed him a bill:
"In addition, your total bill was 1620 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to 972 US dollars..."
"Shit! Isn't your steak set meal only 30 Australian dollars? There are only eight of them!"
"A beautiful lady also ordered a bottle of wine, which cost AU$1110, plus a 20% service charge!"
"what?!"
Luo Sheng turned his head and realized that Lin Chen and the others had already slipped away at some point.
Phew!
Upon seeing this, Luo Sheng was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tang Ming and Zhang Qing lowered their heads, their hearts filled with jealousy and resentment.
Although they both got their wish and were admitted to American universities, the schools they attended were only considered to be among the lowest tiers of the top-tier universities in the United States.
As for MIT, it's a school they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
But Lin Chen just gave up on a school like that?
Why is this happening?
They gave up their reputation and everything else in the country that you could guess, so why do they become worthless in the eyes of others?
……
"Comrade! Congratulations on achieving the 'Slap the Traitor in the Face' achievement!"
This is the highest affirmation of your loyalty and wisdom!
Your victory is not only a personal honor, but also an inspiration to the entire team!
Let me cheer for your heroic act, comrade!
Therefore, you will receive the achievement reward, the skill "Iron Heart!"
"Skills of Iron Heart! Your will will be as strong as steel, and your faith will never waver!"
Outside the hotel, Lin Chen was secretly delighted that his achievement had rewarded him with a skill.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted from the side.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Chen Xiaoxiao blushed and took out a bottle of wine with both hands.
"Want to go back to the dorm for a drink later? That Luo Sheng is treating. This wine is expensive, it costs over 1000 Australian dollars."
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated, never expecting Chen Xiaoxiao to have this side to her.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? Luo Sheng is so annoying, I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
"No, you did the right thing!"
Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Everyone looked up at the sky, their faces filled with surprise.
"Holy crap, snow in July? There's been an injustice!"
"What injustice? It's winter here in Australia, isn't it normal for it to snow?"
"Let's go, let's go back quickly, the snow is getting heavier!"
Braving the wind and snow, everyone rushed back, and then drank the wine that Chen Xiaoxiao had brought back together in the dormitory, making a ruckus for half the night.
As midnight passed, Lin Chen fell asleep, slightly drunk.
Now that the math Olympiad was over, he had planned to take a break.
I don't read books in my sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Chen closed his eyes, he suddenly found himself back in the dream laboratory.
Lin Chen looked puzzled...
In the past, entry into the Dream Lab was not mandatory every day.
He would only activate the dream laboratory in his sleep if Lin Chen showed any intention of entering it.
But why today...?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, Lin Chen suddenly heard a piercing alarm sound in the room.
On the red wooden door in the laboratory, the red alarm light was flashing.
"Comrade! Please proceed to the early warning room immediately! The Dream Warning System has issued an alert: your life may be in danger within the next 72 hours!"
