Chapter 323: Flamers

Everyone was shocked by what happened to Song Ci.

A few people ran over at the same time.

Some helped him up, some put out the fire for him, and some asked him how he was doing.

At this moment, cold sweat dripped down from Song Ci’s forehead like raindrops. He clutched his right hand tightly and his face turned pale.

“Song Ci, are you okay?”

Song Ci asked the people around him a few times, but he didn’t speak. However, a fierce glint flashed across his eyes.

Since I can’t even compete anymore, I want this competition to be delayed!

At the thought of this, he quickly stood up and pretended to casually push the people around him to the other people’s drawing tables.

However, at this moment, a few robots quickly walked up from below the stage and surrounded them.

Chu Luo, who was sitting at the side, said, “Since your hand is injured, go to the hospital for treatment. The competition isn’t a game. It’s not for you alone.”

“Chu Luo, what’s the meaning of this!” Song Ci finally said in an unfriendly tone.

Chu Luo dipped the paintbrush in her hand before saying, “Am I wrong? Or do you want the competition to be delayed because of you?”

These words made the expressions of the other contestants turn ugly, especially those who had yet to find an entry point. They said loudly in displeasure, “Chu Luo is right. This kind of competition isn’t held for you alone. Don’t waste our time.”

Song Ci quickly glanced at Chu Luo and the people who were talking.

Coincidentally, the teacher who led him here, who had been paying attention to him, quickly blocked everyone’s view and reminded in a low voice, “Song Ci, calm down. Not only is it broadcast live in the country, but it’s also broadcasted live abroad. Do you want to embarrass Old Master Song?”

Song Ci bit his lips and controlled his desire to ruin this competition. He lowered his eyes and said to that teacher, “Take me away from here.”

That teacher nodded at him and helped him walk towards the stage.

Song Ci suddenly stopped when he reached the audience seats. He turned around and glanced at Chu Luo deeply. Everyone thought that he couldn’t bear to leave. Only after that did he continue walking towards the entrance of the hall.

Chu Luo only looked up at Song Ci’s back when he walked to the door and continued drawing.

After this incident with Song Ci, the other contestants became even more serious.

After that, the outside world was filled with comments because of Song Ci’s sudden departure. But everyone in the auditorium ignored that, and all that could be heard in the hall was the sound of the sketch pen. Everyone was fully concentrating and maintained absolute silence.

Soon, it was noon. The host went on stage and announced that the contestants had half an hour to eat.

A female contestant objected loudly, “I don’t need to eat. I can just eat some chocolate biscuits.”

The other boy also said, “I’ll eat some biscuits too.”

The others also expressed that they didn’t want to eat.

Chu Luo glanced at these people and moved the Bluetooth on her ear. At this moment, a group of robots walked up again. Each robot had lunch in their hands. The lunch was sumptuous and nutritious.

Just as the other contestants were about to reject the call, Yu Tong walked up the stage and said to everyone, “All contestants, our in-charge decided to send lunch over since no one is in the mood to go out and eat.”

“I’m not eating. Eating will dirty my painting.”

“I’m not eating either. There’s no place to put the food tray at all. Am I supposed to put the food on the stool and squat to eat?”

Yu Tong smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious, everyone. Chu Luo will help us resolve this matter.”

Everyone turned to look at Chu Luo, wondering how she could resolve this.

Chu Luo sat there and didn’t move. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Just as everyone was filled with question marks, young ladies in cheongsams and young men in Tang attire walked up with dust-proof cloths and quickly covered their art table.

Only then did Chu Luo speak. “Roundy, let the robots transform.”

“Received command. Instructions sent successfully.”

Then, all the robots extended a surface that looked like a dining table from their stomachs. The robots placed the trays in their hands on the flat surface.

“Everyone can sit and eat in the open space. The height of the dining table will be adjusted according to your sitting height.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she stood up and dragged the chair to the open space beside her. After she sat down, the robot walked up to her and adjusted the dining table to the best position according to her height.

Chu Luo lifted the lid of the tray, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

After taking two mouthfuls, she looked at everyone who was staring at her and said calmly, “You can continue painting after eating. Are you sure you want to watch me finish my meal?”

After saying that, she added, “During mealtime, please stop filming for a while. There are people responsible for sending food over from outside the door. Everyone can go out and eat.”

The contestants suddenly came back to their senses and started eating lunch according to her method.

At this moment, be it the audience or outside the hall, everyone couldn’t help but discuss.

“If I didn’t know that this was a painting competition, I would have thought that it was a robot competition.”

“Imperial University is too impressive. Who was so thoughtful?”

“Did Imperial University know that President He would make things difficult for them and prepared the lunch long ago?”

“That makes people wonder if there’s something going on at Imperial University.”

…

Bad comments flew everywhere as if someone had hired fake reviewers.

Especially the various analysis posts.

For example: Chu Luo didn’t even know how to draw. Why did President He specifically choose her to participate in the competition?

Another example: Since the theme was changed on the spot, why did Imperial University prepare lunch for the participants?

Another example: Did you guys notice that the contestant announced by Imperial University’s art college wasn’t there at all, but Chu Luo suddenly appeared? What did this mean?

…

These posts quickly exceeded ten thousand views. What was originally a matter in the world of painting and calligraphy immediately became a hot topic.

This painting and calligraphy competition organized by Imperial University came to be known by many laymen, and the public opinion was diverted.

By the time Chu Luo and the others finished eating, rumors were already flying everywhere.

“President, what should we do? Are we going to let this kind of slandering threads continue to ferment? If we don’t come out and explain, not only will Imperial University’s reputation be ruined by these flamers, but Chu Luo’s reputation will also be ruined.”

Yu Tong stood beside Nangong Yi and was anxious.

The two of them were standing in the corner of the back door. They could see the entire scene, but the cameras couldn’t capture them.

Nangong Yi glanced at Yu Tong and asked her, “Have you told Chu Luo about this?”

“Yes, she only said two words.” At this point, Yu Tong had a complicated expression.

“Oh, which two words?”

“Calm down.”

When Nangong Yi heard these two words, he chuckled.

Yu Tong stomped her feet in dissatisfaction. “President, the situation is already so serious. How can you still laugh?”

“Cough…” Nangong Yi coughed into his fist. He stopped smiling and asked,” What did the school’s heads say? ”

It was fine if Nangong Yi didn’t ask, but once he asked, Yu Tong became even more anxious. “They said that this matter will be handed to the person in charge of the Student Union. Whoever is responsible will handle it.”

“Then who’s in charge?”

“Chu Luo!”

Yu Tong looked at Nangong Yi in dissatisfaction.

Nangong Yi said with a smile, “Since Chu Luo is in charge of this matter and she asked you to stay calm, why are you so agitated?”

“The flamers are about to criticize Chu Luo until she’s covered in wounds. If we don’t stop them, the situation will definitely not be suppressed!”

Nangong Yi looked at Chu Luo, who was eating seriously. From his angle, he could only see Chu Luo’s side profile.

Even her profile was unrealistically beautiful.

Nangong Yi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: How beautiful!

He asked Yu Tong, “What does Chu Luo know?”

“She knows a lot.” Yu Tong thought of the silver needles in Chu Luo’s hands and admiration flashed across her eyes.

Nangong Yi glanced at her and shrugged. “She knows how to use a computer and can chase world-class hackers no matter where they are. What do you think the flamers on the Internet can do to her?”

“Eh?”

Yu Tong finally reacted. She was stunned for a moment before saying in a doubtful tone, “Could Chu Luo have deliberately let people flame her?”

“You think that’s possible?”

“That’s impossible. With Chu Luo’s character, how could she deliberately let people flame her… Hey! President, where are you going?”

“To eat.”

With that, Nangong Yi left.

In the afternoon.

More and more people were watching this competition on the Internet, and all kinds of comments were flying everywhere.

“I think the camera should constantly focus on Chu Luo at this time. That way, everyone will know if she’s faking it.”

“However, did Imperial University really push Chu Luo out to become famous? In that case, Imperial University is really famous this time. I just used a VPN to take a look on the Internet. I didn’t expect the world’s Internet to be discussing this matter as well.”

“I believe in Chu Luo. Chu Luo knows so many things. Drawing is definitely not a problem.”

“I believe so too. Chu Luo could choose so many courses in her first semester at Imperial University and jump grades to third year in half a month. How can such a powerful person suddenly ruin her own reputation!”

…

The situation was about to go out of control.

Imperial University students were anxious.

The cadres of the Student Union, who were controlling the scene outside, were also anxious.

Many students from Imperial University ran to the main page of Chu Luo’s BBS and left messages to cheer her on. However, they realized that Chu Luo’s main page was currently broadcasting her painting live.

Everyone looked at it for a while and were shocked by her painting which had already taken shape.
