Chapter 3481: Research on Cats and Dogs (Part 40)

In Schiller's office, he was checking his email. Quite a few students heard that Cat Getan University faculty members had an accident and sent emails to ask about him. Schiller read every email seriously and made brief replies, telling them he was fine and urging them to pay attention to food safety.

Looking down from the office window, on the straight and wide campus road, only fallen leaves were fluttering. After the bustling crowd disappeared, it appeared a bit lonely for no reason.

However, the professor's office building was not far from the stadium, and one could vaguely hear the heated shouts from there. In order to prepare for the tournament, the football team and the cheerleading dance troupe were not on vacation and were training intensely.

After reading the last email, Schiller leaned back and shook his neck gently. After taking a sip of water, he looked at his watch.

He had no work left to handle. In the past, at this time, he would either make an appointment with colleagues to go to the club to play cards, or go watch a football game.

Although initially he only paid attention to football because he wanted Cat Getan University to join the Ivy League, after watching for so many years, Schiller could be considered a loyal fan of the Cat Getan University school team.

Actually, the Cat Getan University football team's results had always been very good, stable among the top teams. But wanting to enter the top tier, they were just missing that bit of effort. Every batch of students' level belonged to the upper reaches of their peers, but they never produced any top-notch ones.

Cat Getan University school team's biggest advantage was that the proportion of athletes entering real professional leagues was relatively high. Students with intentions to develop in this direction would be very willing to apply, but after so many years, no star players had been produced.

This wasn't because the coach or players weren't working hard, let alone Schiller not working hard. Sports competition in the end is all about talent, and talent is something only God can decide.

So Schiller went to church every Saturday without fail, just to annoy God one day until He threw a heaven-sent star player to the Cat Getan University school team.

After packing his things, Schiller prepared to head to the stadium. Other than the hardware conditions of the new Cat Getan University not being said to be very good, the stadium was absolutely the most professional and luxurious on the entire East Coast, and currently also the largest comprehensive stadium on the entire East Coast.

Although because of Cat Getan's "good reputation" in the past, not many international events had landed here yet, currently some organizers already had intentions. I believe it won't be long before it becomes lively.

Some people might ask, if there were an alien invasion at this juncture, wouldn't it make people feel that hosting a tournament in Cat Getan is very unsafe?

It can only be said that the American comic universe cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Before the new campus of Cat Getan University was established, the stadium that hosted most of the top events on the East Coast was Metropolis University's stadium. Metropolis wasn't very peaceful either.

Although the time point is still early, Zod hasn't come yet, basically there is no large-scale invasion. Coupled with the fact that the Justice League of this universe is well-prepared, Metropolis is currently relatively safe. But that's only compared to Cat Getan; in reality, public security isn't much better.

It can only be said that hosting a tournament anywhere is picking the best from the worst. Because Cat Getan is disaster-prone but hasn't been destroyed yet, it has instead become a clear stream among many American cities. At least this can show that Cat Getan's emergency measures are very in place. If something really happens, it might even do better than those cities that have always been relatively safe.

Thinking this, Schiller walked toward the stadium. On the way, he saw a cleaner sweeping fallen leaves, shoveling leaves with a shovel and loading them into a huge trash can.

Originally, they brushed past each other and shouldn't have had any intersection. But Schiller suddenly had a feeling of being spied on.

In a flash, he built a maze in his mind, changed what he was thinking about in his brain, pretended to be an ordinary psychology professor, and recalled the football game he had seen before.

After walking more than fifty meters, the feeling of being spied on disappeared. The other party had been fooled by him.

Schiller didn't turn his head to look at him, let alone do anything to fight back, and just walked slowly to the stadium, exchanged a few pleasantries with the coach who was leading the training, and went to the auditorium.

The decision to use Clark to attract Kara's attention and send her out of Cat Getan was correct. Although this girl is a Kryptonian and possesses a super-brain, the other party's psychic ability is clearly superior. Without preparation, she would probably be controlled immediately.

Once Kara goes crazy, everyone in Cat Getan will fall into an awkward situation. If she isn't subdued, Cat Getan University will probably be destroyed; if she is subdued, and she gets hurt, it will be very difficult to refresh the cheerleading dance troupe's best results in the competition.

Just as he was thinking this, Schiller saw a figure walking toward him. He turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar face.

"... Christine?"

Schiller flipped this name from the depths of his mind. The other party was clearly even more surprised than him. She walked over and shook hands with Schiller, saying: "Professor, you actually still remember me..."

Schiller nodded gently. Of course he remembered; this girl was two grades older than Bruce, was the leader of the cheerleading dance troupe, and was the most beautiful, most skilled, and most popular member of that batch.

The best result Cat Getan University has achieved in cheerleading dance competitions to this day was maintained by her, and no one has broken it for more than ten years.

Most importantly, at that time she was involved in Jonathan's case and was kidnapped. Although she was successfully rescued in the end, she was also scared quite a bit and because of this fell in love with Batman. Unfortunately, Batman didn't like her.

Afterward, she had a relationship with Harvey Dent. Her good friend Doris was also involved in trouble, and fortunately, this time it didn't implicate her. Not long after, she graduated smoothly.

When Harvey broke up with her, Schiller heard some things about her. Because of her excellent appearance and outstanding dance level, she became a stage play actress.

Later she went to the West Coast to develop, and it seems she also made a certain name for herself in Hollywood. Relying on her most typical American blonde cheerleader image, she received quite a few good reviews, but because her appearance had no memory points, she couldn't become a big hit.

She and Harvey had a peaceful breakup, mainly because Christine wanted to leave Cat Getan, and Harvey was unwilling to go. Of course, they broke up because their plans for the future were different. Didn't expect her to actually come back now.

More than ten years passed, and this beautiful girl's appearance hadn't changed much. If one had to say, she might be slightly more mature, still as radiant as ever.

"Of course, Miss. The 'Samoan Dance' you choreographed is still the signature dance of the Cat Getan University cheerleading dance troupe to this day. I watched them rehearse a few days ago."

Finding that Schiller wasn't just exchanging pleasantries, but sincerely praising her, Christine smiled happily and said: "I also miss those days, so I came to take a look the first time I returned to Cat Getan."

"I heard the cheerleading dance troupe has another good girl. Unfortunately, she asked for leave; I still wanted to see her performance."

"There will be opportunities." Schiller nodded, and the two sat down together. He looked at Christine and said: "Why did you suddenly want to come back?"

"California is very good, sunny, enthusiastic, and unrestrained. Unfortunately, there is no place for me to stay." Christine's eyebrows stretched, seemingly no longer struggling with this. She said: "Who doesn't have a Hollywood dream when they are young? It's easy to break in, but hard to stay. My talent ends here, so there's no need to make things difficult for myself."

Schiller nodded. He could also see that Christine had been having a rough career recently and must have suffered some setbacks, so she chose to come back and rest for a period of time.

Schiller had no intention of pointing fingers at her career. He just evaluated her psychologically and felt that Christine's giving up now was a relatively wise choice. Although Christine's innate conditions were good, her image style was too mainstream. Such blonde beauties are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, and it's really hard to make a name for themselves.

Schiller thought of Catwoman again. Actually, Catwoman's beauty level was about the same as Christine's, but because she wasn't a pure white person, her appearance was wilder, and her personality was unique, so all of Hollywood couldn't find a second one. So even without Bruce's support, she didn't lack plays to film at all.

"I came back this time, also wanting to find a job in a Cat Getan drama troupe. They are very famous recently, do you know, Professor?"

"You mean the Grayson Troupe? Their big circus is indeed the signature performance of the Cat Getan Theater."

"Their stage plays are also very famous. The Four Great Tragedies are performed much better than the drama troupes in Metropolis. If there is a chance, I must go watch it, it's just that the tickets are too hard to grab..."

"Don't consider teaching at Cat Getan University?"

"I can come over to guide the girls in my spare time on weekends, but there's no need to be full-time. Because I only know dance, but don't understand professional knowledge in sports health, so I can't be a coach."

Then Christine smiled slightly playfully again and said: "However, I will come over to see them more in my spare time on weekends."

Looking at Christine's smile, Schiller suddenly remembered one thing. At the time, she was involved in the conspiracy case of Jonathan and the old principal, and could be considered one of the parties involved.

The memory in her brain was precisely the evidence that Jonathan had been causing trouble since Bruce started college. Although that wasn't a beautiful memory for her, it was yet another powerful piece of evidence that Jonathan could be the "Professor."

Thinking of this, Schiller opened his mouth and said:

"Speaking of the Grayson Troupe, I am very familiar with the troupe owner and the owner of the Cat Getan Theater. They will leave tickets for me for any popular repertoire. Recently, 'The Lady of the Camellias' premiered, and they gave me some tickets. If you are not busy, come back to the office with me, and I'll give you one?"

"Really?!" Christine said very pleasantly surprised, "I was just worrying about not being able to grab their tickets; this is simply too great!"

Schiller smiled and stood up, saying: "It's nothing, after all, if you join the troupe, Cat Getan Theater will have one more stage play star. By then your tickets will definitely be very hard to grab, but, you will leave tickets for me, right?"

"Of course!" Christine hugged Schiller happily and said, "If I really become the lead actress, I'll leave the tickets for the first three rows for you, Professor!"

After saying hello to the coach, Schiller and Christine left. On the way back to the office, Christine was chattering about things in Hollywood.

Midway, Schiller's phone rang. He picked it up and took a look; Harvey sent him a text message:

"I heard Penny went to Cat Getan University; have you seen her?"

He pressed the number "1" on the keyboard and sent it. He believed Harvey could understand what he meant. As for whether the two could continue their past relationship, that was hard to say.

The road from the stadium back to the office was the same, and that cleaner had already swept from the east side of the road to the west side.

What didn't change was that when passing by him, Schiller again had that feeling of being spied on. He adjusted his thoughts, and Christine didn't notice anything.

When the two of them passed by the cleaner, Schiller saw his hand sweeping the leaves pause, and then he looked toward Christine's side.
