Chapter 394

~6 min read 1,174 words

In the instant following a brief silence.

The live stream room was instantly ignited.

【What did Brother Shiguang just say? I dare not quite believe my own ears!】

【He said a meteorite! A meteorite is going to fall in this region!】

【Oh my god! Is this about to reenact the meteor shower scene?】

【Impossible, this is not like the meteor shower; this is a meteorite! It will crash onto the ground and cause all sorts of commotion!】

【What scale of meteorite fall could possibly make Brother Shiguang wait here!】

【A meteorite? My god! Is this really not a scam?】

【I have checked all the information; none of it states that a meteorite will fall here today!】

【Stop talking about information; here, whatever Brother Shiguang says is what happens. If he says a meteorite will fall, then a meteorite will fall!】

At the same time.

Inside the National Observatory.

Another huge uproar was stirred up.

At this moment, Chen Lao was not present.

A newly appointed leader was currently presiding over the situation.

Wu Zhihui's behavior and mindset.

Were typical materialism.

Anything involving supernatural forces, gods, ghosts, or strange tales.

Prophecies, speculations, witchcraft, immortals.

In his view.

Everything was unacceptable.

The only thing that could be trusted.

Was the data and facts in hand!

Chen Lao of the National Observatory had gone to other regions for on-site exploration at this time.

So he entrusted this most important position to the second-in-command, Wu Zhihui.

Most importantly.

Chen Lao trusted Wu Zhihui's abilities completely.

And just as Wu Zhihui was busy with his work.

A staff member, holding a mobile phone in hand, walked over trembling.

Then she showed the content on her phone to Wu Zhihui and said at the same time: "Leader Wu, Brother Shiguang says a meteorite is going to fall in this region!"

"A meteorite?"

The words of this staff member successfully attracted Wu Zhihui's interest.

Wu Zhihui put down the paper and pen in his hand, put on a small pair of glasses, crossed his arms, and a smile appeared on his face.

He looked somewhat kind and approachable in this manner, yet he radiated an unapproachable feeling.

"Who is this Brother Shiguang?" Wu Zhihui asked.

This staff member explained: "It is like this; this Brother Shiguang is a travel check-in streamer, but his predictions are extremely accurate. At the very beginning, he predicted the meteor shower, and at that time our machines showed no anomalies whatsoever."

"So at that time we treated it as a joke, but after he waited in one place for a long while, the meteor shower truly appeared. Since then, we have kept a close watch on him and noted his movements. Basically, everything he says is correct."

While this staff member was speaking, she nervously wiped away sweat.

What she faced now was not the kind and approachable Chen Lao.

But an old, rigid, and stubborn fellow.

As expected.

Wu Zhihui merely smiled and shook his head, saying: "You are too sensitive. How much credibility can a streamer's words have? I just checked; there is absolutely no problem in that desert region; we cannot even receive a single signal of a meteorite."

"Now," Wu Zhihui looked at that staff member, his eyes sharp like swords, revealing their full edge, "you run to tell me that a streamer says a meteorite is going to fall? This is truly the greatest absurdity under heaven!"

Wu Zhihui slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and said: "Does our national authority, our most top-tier precision instruments, and the sweat and blood of countless staff members count for less than the words of a tiny streamer?"

This huge noise attracted everyone's attention.

Almost at the same time.

Everyone stopped and looked in Wu Zhihui's direction.

These staff members simultaneously sighed in their hearts.

This old bastard only knows how to yell at people every day.

And.

The staff member responsible for watching Brother Shiguang's live stream is truly miserable.

If she does not report it.

She bears responsibility if something happens.

If she reports it.

She gets scolded by this old, rigid thing, Wu Zhihui.

This is truly a dilemma.

However.

Being scolded is far better than being fired.

Looking at the furious Wu Zhihui.

This staff member was still a young Miss; after being yelled at like that, she immediately found it hard to hold back her composure.

Tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes.

She said, deeply aggrieved, "Chen Lao told me to keep a close watch."

267. (2/5) Ten thousand Super Fires! Princess Shark appears!

"Chen Lao?"

Hearing the name Chen Lao, Wu Zhihui slightly lowered his guard.

Inside the National Astronomical Observatory.

He could command thousands of troops, and his own abilities were sufficient to maintain that command.

But.

There happened to be one person.

Who utterly dominated him in knowledge, seniority, and ability.

That person was Chen Lao.

At this moment.

Hearing the young girl bring up Chen Lao.

Wu Zhihui found it hard to say anything more.

He held considerable respect for Chen Lao.

Not only because the other was far stronger than him.

But also because he was his mentor.

"Ahem, ahem!" Wu Zhihui coughed lightly twice, then said, "You shouldn't be like this. What I said is not wrong; data is fact. It is now before everyone's eyes. If it isn't there, it isn't there. Stop talking about Brother Shiguang's predictions being accurate."

"But!" the staff member continued to urge, "All of streamer Brother Shiguang's prophecies have been accurate. Even Chen Lao admires him greatly and even wanted to invite him over for tea and conversation. It was only because we couldn't get in touch that I was told to keep an eye on him."

"Chen Lao's meaning?" Wu Zhihui confirmed once more.

The staff member nodded very seriously, "It is Chen Lao's order. Whatever statement Brother Shiguang makes, it must be reported immediately. However, since Chen Lao is currently on a business trip, I had no choice but to report it to you."

Wu Zhihui suddenly felt a headache. He stood up, walked over to a staff member, and asked him to pull up the information on that desert region again.

After triple-checking and confirming there were no errors.

He returned and said to that staff member, "I just confirmed it three more times. There is indeed no sign or information of any meteorite about to fall. This matter ends here. I will not blindly believe a streamer."

"You may leave first."

Having said that.

Wu Zhihui sent the staff member out and continued with his work.

Other colleagues, seeing the young girl who had been sent out, rushed over to comfort her, "That old man not understanding is to be expected. In fact, none of us believed he would understand. After all, with something like this, anyone would think it's nonsense."

"Yes. If someone hasn't experienced it, no matter what you say, they won't believe it. Only when the fact occurs will they get slapped hard in the face!"
