Chapter 9

　The auditorium is magnificent. The vast dome is an artificial sky that can look real. If you want a clear sky, you will have a clear sky. If you want a sea of ​​stars, there will be a sea of ​​stars. In the viewing area, intelligent signposts are walking under the feet of everyone entering the ceremony. From a distance, those fluorescent lights look like meteor showers whizzing back and forth.

　However, although the decoration of the auditorium is high-end and grand, the "meat" piled inside is almost boring at this time.

　The opening ceremony is about to begin, and the students in the four seats have already taken their seats. The students are all heroes, and everyone is a good troublemaker. It seems that they are not here to study, but to stir up trouble.

　When the thorns and thorns came together, they inevitably got into a ball with each other -

　on the southeast viewing platform, a muscular boy with a round waist was too lazy to go inside and refused to go to his seat. He sat down on the outermost side, which quickly triggered a fight. There was a fight, and some onlookers were booing and shouting, causing the conflict to escalate rapidly, and the entire viewing platform was involved in an unorganized and undisciplined group fight.

　In the northwest corner, a girl had her butt touched by a gangster classmate. Without saying a word, she took out a laser gun from her bag and fired it, tearing open the seats in the auditorium. Everyone was shocked. , almost causing a stampede, the security robot quickly rushed to stop it, and found that the laser gun was actually homemade.

　There was a genius in the viewing area in the middle of the auditorium. Adhering to the principle of talking but not using hands, he brought a micro-amplifier into the venue, hacked into the auditorium's sound system, and used the auditorium's 360-degree surround sound to roar in an earth-shattering way. He shouted: "John Wu, I will kill you!"

　I don't know who the name of "John Wu" was, but anyway, his voice set the atmosphere of the entire opening ceremony. There was laughter everywhere, and the three deans in the front row He led a group of pedantic teachers and sat among them, looking out of place, like a group of old Tang monks trapped in Pansi Cave.

　Lu Bixing looked at him with wild eyes, and his mental state was very stable, because Principal Lu always believed that geniuses like him did not need to be taught by others, and self-taught was enough. It was precisely the things that were hardest to teach that were the most worth teaching.

　It's just...

　He glanced at the empty VIP seats and sighed secretly - the fourth brother didn't come.

　However, since Principal Lu opened the school, he has not made the Xiong students angry. Of course, he has a broad mind. He quickly thought about it again - it was a big surprise that the fourth brother came, but it was natural that the fourth brother didn't come. He had no loss.

　Lu Bixing, who quickly adjusted himself, stepped onto the podium without changing his expression, and made an unusually bright appearance amid a roar that could lift the dome.

　The lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, leaving only a bunch falling on the podium. The podium slowly rose into the air, and the dome was replaced by a picture of stars. The stars slowly rotated, stretching out endlessly as far as the eye could see.

　Lu Bixing stood on the podium calmly - although no one paid attention to him.

　"Dear classmates..."

　With a "bang", a student was pushed directly from the viewing platform nearest to the podium. Then, a flurry of curses overwhelmed the sound of the auditorium, and there was a chaos under the podium. battlefield.

　The grumpy mecha operator stood up suddenly and was about to leave the table.

　Lu Bixing shut up for the moment, calmly took out a pair of headphones and put it on his head. He tapped his toes regularly on the podium. The sound in the entire auditorium made a loud "buzz" sound, and all the teachers and students became dice. The dice in the cup shocked all those who were not sitting honestly in their seats.

　The auditorium fell silent for a short time.

　Lu Bixing took off the headset and continued without changing his expression: "Hello everyone, welcome to Xinghai College. I know you want to beat me now, but I'm sorry, you can't. I also know that you are planning to wait for me to go down. Let's do it again - my speech will take about fifteen minutes. You can carefully consider whether you really want to beat the principal within fifteen minutes. After all, as of yesterday, the largest shareholder of our school has become a black hole."

　Hearing this . , the faculty and staff in the front row lowered their heads together in mourning, feeling that their salaries had been tainted by the stinky hooligans.

　Principal Lu was not ashamed, but proud, and continued to talk: "I will work with my colleagues to accompany you through the next few years - perhaps the most important years in your lives..."

　Hei just now The boy who entered the loudspeaker system suddenly interrupted: "Principal, do you teach me how to pick up girls and men?"

　Lu Bixing replied without changing his face: "It seems that this is a classmate who has flowers on both sides and has eight feet to step on the boat. I suggest everyone here Remember this voice and take strict precautions in the future. Also, your suggestion is good. In the future, we will offer relevant elective courses that will focus on how to avoid being a scumbag in love."

　The boy used the loudspeaker again to talk: "Then you will teach me how to make a lot of money. "

　Of course," Lu Bixing replied without thinking, "otherwise, where do you think the money to build the auditorium came from?"

　The monkeys did not expect him to be so honest, and the auditorium was quiet for a moment.

　"The best mecha designers are hard to come by, and black and white guys kneel down to give money away, but they can't even take it back; and if you want to join the army, do interstellar smuggling with huge profits, or become a gold medal fighter, you must be A master in mecha operation; not to mention information technology," Lu Bixing asked the boy who kept interrupting, "What do you call your classmate?"

　"Whitey."

　"Whitey, if the classmate next to you has a lot of money, he will definitely be willing to spend some money. I bought your small equipment to hack into the auditorium's audio, but..." Lu Bixing said as he kicked the podium lightly, a transparent screen popped up, and his dangling fingers quickly entered a string of codes, and the noise in the loudspeaker Immediately no more.

　"Sorry, you talked too much. You should also give others a chance." After Lu Bixing finished speaking, a fluorescent light suddenly started running around in the auditorium. He made a stylish finger snap, and the fluorescent light responded. Then it stopped and fell under a seat in the corner, turning into a small arrow pointing at the person on the seat.

　Everyone turned their heads and Lu Bixing nodded, "This classmate, you can try to say something."

　The girl pointed at by the fluorescent light whispered "Fuck you", and the loudspeaker immediately performed its duty. After telling him, there was a burst of laughter in the auditorium.

　"Laughing," the girl who was called on said something rudely. She didn't hold back and just said what she was told. She asked loudly, "Principal, why do you nerds talk so much about money? Your words are not pure at all.

　" It's simple, because poverty has a higher mortality rate than stupidity." Principal Lu, who had just sold his virginity, replied sincerely, "Next."

　The next question was very sharp. The person who was randomly asked opened his mouth and asked: "The backstage of your school. Is it really a black hole? How come I've been here for a year and never seen Fourth Brother?"

　Principal Lu, who was talking about mechas, suddenly got stuck, and then he continued to lie without blushing or heartbeat: "This is it. Damn..." Before

　he could finish his words, the back door of the auditorium suddenly opened, and a group of people walked in along the VIP channel very arrogantly, with an aura like they were here to kick off the show.

　The first person was wearing a long coat with a very hard texture. The thick and hard coat could not create the special effect of "clothes rolling". His coat was ankle-length, so it was easy to look like a waistless and legless man. But maybe it's because the man is tall, or maybe it's because of the natural straightening and strength of his shoulders when he walks. Wearing such a suit, it doesn't look out of place at all, as if he is used to wearing this kind of armor-like coat.

　He held a cigarette in his mouth and walked without raising his head, as if no one was around. The men and women behind him all consciously trailed a few steps behind him.

　Whispers spread, and someone recognized the identities of several "followers."

　"Isn't that Sister Petunia?"

　"Penny? Who?"

　"You came from the country, right... It's her, damn, she looked at me!"

　"Who is that person in front?"

　"It can't be... "

　Shh--"

　The sound of "Shh" spread spontaneously like a tidal wave, and the auditorium that had just been filled with excitement was washed over by the tide and fell into dead silence.

　The VIP channel has its own lights, and a bunch of light falling from the top of the auditorium slowly catches up with the people. The man in the long coat raised his head, looked at Lu Bixing with dark gray eyes from a distance, said hello, and went straight Sat down.

　Lin Na glanced over, and Lu Bixing felt that his three-inch tongue was a little stiff for no reason. He finally added the second half of his sentence: "...It's fate."

　The chasing lights dispersed like fireworks, and all around him Brother's figure disappeared into the darkness. In the suddenly silent auditorium, Lu Bixing was so happy that he suddenly forgot his words.

　But with so much attention, he couldn't remain silent in embarrassment. Lu Bixing pressed his cufflinks while no one was paying attention, and a layer of film invisible to others immediately appeared on his eyes. On it was a spare speech prepared by his teacher. : "Xinghai Academy may not allow you to achieve any academic achievements, and many of you may not be able to cash in on what you learned in school because of poor academic skills or bad luck. If there is no money and glory, What else can the school give you? "

　"In this era, our average life span has reached three hundred years, and we have two hundred years of youth, growing close to immortality. And historical data shows that every ten years, or even five years, our lives You will usher in an earth-shaking change. In this era, personal talents and efforts sometimes seem insignificant. Whether you are proud or frustrated depends on where the tide of the times carries you. In your long life, you may experience countless things. A meteoric rise and nothing..."

　The fourth brother held his cigarette and looked around for a place to flick the ashes. Just as Zhan Lu was about to reach out to pick it up, Penny was already prepared and handed over an ashtray.

　Penny didn't know that Zhan Lu was not a living person, so she always had a problem with him. Because Zhan Lu is also a tall and tall man, he just sticks to his fourth brother's side every day and acts like a "boy", and he often does shameless things like reaching out to catch ashes and kneeling down to lick him, which hurts the eyes.

　The fourth brother did not lose face and nodded to her to thank her.

　"Where did Master Lu piece together this speech?" Petunia started talking casually.

　The fourth brother politely made a listening gesture: "Huh?"

　"Changes happen every five years? Ever since I was born, this ghost place has looked like this half-dead ghost. And the average life span is three hundred years old - Is it average for people outside the eighth galaxy? I am called to die every year. More than half of the garbage I grew up with are now dead. Thanks to my fourth brother, I have almost reached the average life expectancy. "

　You are not old." The fourth brother said without raising his eyelids. After a moment, he may feel that his answer was too perfunctory and cold, so he added, "In the capital planet, it is said that a little girl like you is not married yet." " Yeah.

　" Petunia laughed, and quietly poked out a pair of hooks from the corners of her eyes: "Although I'm not a little girl, and I'm not married yet, does Fourth Brother have room for a woman?

　" Brother's eyes moved, and he didn't say yes or no. He lowered his head and took a long drag on the cigarette. He smoked the remaining half of the cigarette until it was almost broken, occupied his mouth, and became speechless.

　Fourth brother is not a moody person, he can even be considered reasonable... otherwise Lu Bixing would have been beaten to death by him. He seems to be saving his temper for use on the edge of the sword. He usually doesn't care about trivial matters. He pretends not to hear things he doesn't like to hear. He doesn't say anything about things he doesn't want to talk about.

　Penny understood what he meant from his silence, her eyes dimmed, she curved her mouth as if she was forcing a smile, and forced herself to turn her head to look at Principal Lu who was pouring chicken soup on the podium.

　President Lu's speech has come to an end: "I hope that you will not get carried away when you are on the cusp of the storm in the future. Think about the boundless sea of ​​learning in the college. When you sink into the undercurrent, don't sink with the sand. Think about the purpose of the college. The cornerstone of your soul."

　Lu Bixing paused and glanced at the last sentence of the speech. He really didn't want to miss it because he felt that he would make a fool of himself. But when he glanced across the audience, he saw the old dean of the School of Information Science stretching his neck. Looking at him expectantly, he immediately knew who wrote this sour and fake article.

　Lu Bixing looked at the old dean for a second, was defeated silently, and resignedly read out his heartfelt words for the old man: "Dear students, I hope you can remember from now on that knowledge is more precious than money. , What is more precious than knowledge is endless curiosity, and what is more precious than curiosity is the starry sky above our heads. "

　The students are part "rotten wood" and part "wall of dirt". After hearing this, They were silent for two seconds, and then burst into laughter. They all felt that Principal Lu was too pretentious.

　Lu Bixing himself had no choice but to smile helplessly, and went back to add: "This starry sky dome cost six million. Before the mecha laboratory was completed, it was the most expensive thing in the school. Please be respectful. School rules come first. "Article, it is forbidden to bring lethal weapons into the auditorium from now on!"

　Under the stage, the gray-haired old dean stood up, hunched his back, and left along the edge of the auditorium.

　After the opening ceremony, Lu Bixing failed to find his fourth brother. They seemed to have just arrived at the town hall, then quietly disappeared after completing their mission.

　Lu Bixing felt a little lost for no reason. However, before he had time to understand it carefully, he encountered the biggest crisis since the founding of the school - the deans of the three colleges and sixteen outstanding faculty members under him collectively expressed that they were mortal and could not bear the burden of Principal Lu. He was given a great responsibility from heaven and asked him to hire someone else.

　On the first day of school, Principal Lu was fired by all the faculty and staff and became a mere principal.
