Chapter 121: Press conference?

What surprised Zhou Tong was……

When they arrived in front of a certain building, they saw someone setting up a stage.

This was strange; in such an upscale residential area, performances were rare.

Soon, Zhou Tong learned the truth.

This stage was specially prepared for us reporters!

Because too many reporters came, they couldn't all fit into Lu Yu's house, so they hastily erected a stage.

This……

Zhou Tong had never seen such a sight before!

In the past, interviews with the college entrance exam top scorer were always one-on-one in a room, me asking and you answering, right?

Now it feels a bit like a press conference.

……

Regardless, the makeshift stage was set up, and the editors of each news agency had already taken their seats, while the photographers naturally found what they considered the best shooting spots.

At that moment, an adult and a child walked over here.

Zhou Tong glanced, then shifted his gaze, thinking: Why hasn't Lu Yu come over yet?

"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Yu."

"First, I want to thank everyone for coming."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from in front of the stage.

Lu Yu has arrived!

Zhou Tong recognized this voice—it was exactly the same as on the phone, equally childish, with a steady rhythm in speech, proof of active, rigorous logical thinking.

But……when did Lu Yu arrive?

I only lost focus for less than a minute!

Zhou Tong quickly turned his head to look ahead.

On the stage ahead stood a child!

A child about seven years old, and no one else!

Silence—the scene suddenly became utterly silent.

Everyone, like Zhou Tong, was completely bewildered.

Where is Lu Yu? Why is the person on stage a child?

"Because too many reporters came today, I specifically arranged this stage."

"This way we won't waste too much of everyone's time."

"What questions do you have for me now?"

Lu Yu ahead looked down at the crowd.

The crowd: ……

Is this Lu Yu?

How could this possibly be Lu Yu!

Zhou Tong couldn't accept it, but……

Judging by the voice, it's indeed the one I've heard before!

So……

Is this child really Lu Yu, who scored a perfect mark on the college entrance exam?

"Hello, may I ask… are you really Lu Yu? The college entrance exam top scorer Lu Yu?" Someone helped Zhou Tong ask this question.

Lu Yu lightly nodded, as if prepared, and produced his admission ticket.

……

Lu Yu's identity was verified.

But……

The scene fell silent again.

They believed Lu Yu was Lu Yu, after all, no one would dare joke with them like this.

You know, everyone here are the chief editors of major mainstream media, representing Huaxia's news department!

But they… still felt it was unreal.

They've seen news of a mouse killing a cat, and they've even personally interviewed prodigies who entered the scientific academy in their early teens.

They've witnessed all kinds of strange things and people, but……

You damn well, tell me now, a seven-year-old child is the college entrance exam top scorer, and a perfect scorer who hasn't appeared in who knows how long?

Is this absurd?

No!

This simply isn't reality!

……

"May I ask, fellow student Lu Yu, how do you usually study? Could you share your study methods?" Finally, a reporter reacted and asked the first question.

Everyone's gaze once again focused on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu directly said: "First of all, one must naturally have a good memory, remembering some basic knowledge points."

"Then it's about understanding. No matter what knowledge point you encounter, you must fully comprehend it."

"After thorough understanding, when encountering problems that extend from that knowledge point, you naturally won't find them difficult."

……

Lu Yu wasn't holding back; he shared some of his own study methods.

The audience below all looked like curious infants, their eyes fixed on Lu Yu.

They interview the College Entrance Exam Top Scorer every year, but the interview contents are actually completely different.

This time, if it weren't for Lu Yu's perfect score, these editors……wouldn't have come in person.

But now……

Although Lu Yu's talk was somewhat interesting, it wasn't enough to make them take it so seriously.

What they really cared about was still Lu Yu himself!

"Excuse me, Lu Yu, at what age did you start studying?"

"What school did you used to attend?"

"Do you have some abilities that others don't?"

Lu Yu had just finished sharing his study methods when an editor couldn't help but stand up and fire three questions in a row.

Then, everyone's eyes turned like eagle claws, as if they wanted to pierce through Lu Yu.

Lu Yu still didn't hesitate, saying: "I hardly went to school; my family background was poor from childhood."

"After learning to read, I discovered a strong thirst for knowledge and began reading books every day."

"As for the abilities you mentioned, maybe……I have a photographic memory."

"All the knowledge I've seen stays in my mind."

This is actually one of the important reasons Lu Yu agreed to the interview, to explain how he managed to get a perfect score on the College Entrance Examination.

Such an explanation is naturally insufficient, but it's still a relatively reasonable explanation.

Lu Yu is doing this to prevent……

himself from being taken away for dissection research.

After all, what he's done now is indeed……a bit heaven-defying.

At this moment, the editors-in-chief below……

All were dumbfounded!

"Hardly went to school?"

"Poor family background?"

They initially thought that Lu Yu being able to live in Tang Yi Pin meant he was a child from a wealthy family.

The reason he achieved a perfect score on the College Entrance Examination at such a young age was entirely because his family poured all resources into nurturing him.

Just that alone is already enough to shock people.

But Lu Yu……insists on shocking people to death before he'll stop!

At this moment, no one could speak.

They no longer knew what to ask.

……

After a long silence, finally an editor still asked a question.

"Lu Yu, you said your family background is poor?"

"As far as I know, Tang Yi Pin is the most high-end development in Mo Du, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold."

"If your family background is poor, how can you afford to live here?"

"This isn't doubt, just pure curiosity."

Everyone's gaze once again fell on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu merely paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

He briefly explained how he met Chen Qiao, the development of Plants vs. Zombies, the release of Legend, and so on.

Then……

Silence, deathly silence.

Even the sound of breathing disappeared from the scene.

All the editors turned into puppets.

I thought discovering that the College Entrance Exam Top Scorer was a seven-year-old would already be shocking enough.

But I never imagined……

This is just the beginning!
