Rhode Island Park Project

Now, the news that Wen Yue visited Rhodes Island on behalf of Longmen to discuss serious matters has been confirmed, but this cannot stop the onlookers from continuing to keenly imagine some of their favorite content.

On top of this, Dayan's stance undoubtedly confirmed another thing, that Luo Hang was not idle during this period, but Wen Yue was the means of counterattack he chose.

This actually made the confused and anxious Colombians relax a little. After all, the unknown is the most terrifying enemy. Luo Hang's previous calm appearance really made many people who had suffered great losses before very nervous. If the enemy was just Dayan... that seemed to be quite difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, these businessmen knew very well that Dayan was not just the Dayan of one person, and Dayan’s statement this time could not represent the attitude of everyone. They did not need to use that huge ancient country as an imaginary enemy.

So, quickly formulating a plan, the Colombians skillfully set to work again.

"Doing so is irresponsible to the personal safety of consumers!"

"We have reason to suspect that someone on the Da Yan side is willing to sacrifice the safety of many people in order to obtain technology from Rhodes Island!"

"We also have many friendly business dealings with Dayan and hope that this will not be affected."

"The potential safety issues with the virtual cabin remain unresolved. Rhodes Island is hesitant to provide an explanation, and can only stall for time by making changes!"

Although Da Yan did not actually take action, it also issued some bland official statements, the main content of which were official rhetoric such as Da Yan would not disregard national security and that this was just ordinary business cooperation. As the main leader of the operation, Longmen had a clearer attitude, indicating that this was their own decision.

This is a kind of self-awareness.

If Longmen loses the bet, it will not affect the country's reputation. If it wins the bet, the credit will mainly belong to Longmen.

But even so, the back-and-forth between the two sides has made the whole thing a hot topic for many people every day.

Wen Yue, who had learned the key information, also realized that Luo Hang was just advertising for free!

The conflict between the Vita Covenant and Letania had already impacted the virtual world, but political news had a limited impact on the general public. Many people, apart from sighing at the power of the virtual world during those few days of talks, would quickly put the matter behind them and move on with their lives. What was more, it made many countries pay attention to Rhodes Island's status and the value of the virtual world.

As a result, just when the heat was beginning to wane, the attention of the onlookers was drawn back again, and it was even more lively than before.

"Actually, I would rather thank my opponent for his efforts."

Luo Hang sat in the office with his hands spread out innocently.

His original plan was to use nano-enhancement combined with mind acceleration to continue and increase the popularity of this publicity. He had planned this plan long ago, but before he even started, the opponent assisted him.

Besides, as we all know, publicity is more effective when others are talking about it than when you do it yourself...

Wen Yue, who has already broken the line (referring to abandoning the dignity of elders), is now almost immune to Luo Hang's performance.

"Just keep playing nice. Too much is as bad as too little. Don't make things worse."

"Well, then, madam, how do you think I should end this?"

Luo Hang showed an innocent look.

Wen Yue glanced at him and said, "Press conference, academic appraisal, public experience... whatever you want to do is up to you. I'm not the boss."

But she felt that Luo Hang would not use such a simple method.

There's no basis for it, it's just a feeling.

It seems that no matter what falls into this guy's hands, it will never become simple.

Luo Hang laughed happily, but his answer was somewhat irrelevant:

"Speaking of which, Academy City has been preparing for so long. The situation has stabilized, and the winter break is over. It's time to officially welcome the first batch of freshmen."

Wen Yue was stunned for a moment, then she understood.

He's trying to capitalize on the hype surrounding this virtual world crisis and give his Academy City a bit of a boost... Are those Columbians the capitalists, or are you the capitalist?!

Wen Yue looked at Luo Hang in front of her and didn't know what to say. She just felt that she should change her previous evaluation -

If this guy gets a sheep, he can probably get the wool of two sheep.

……

After the plan was decided, the public soon received new information again.

School is about to officially start in Rhodes Island Academy City!

Many people were confused for a long time after seeing the latest news pinned by the Rhodes Island official, and had no idea how the latest news they were "looking forward to" came to such a conclusion.

After reading the news, more people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

— Is this really a serious admissions announcement? Dr. Luo and Mrs. Wen Yue are going to attend the opening ceremony in person?

My goodness, other people are so anxious about public relations crises that they want to come out to explain in the early morning, but your boss first had lunch with someone else’s wife and then went to attend the school’s opening ceremony?

Although the previous incident had been proven to be reinforcements called in by Luo Hang, everyone was still confused by Luo Hang's operation.

I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it at all!

However, the heated discussions from outside did not affect the opening ceremony of Academy City at all.

Teachers and students from all over Victoria, Rhodes Island (including the Sarkaz), the Duke of Windermere's group of teachers and students, and even Tara's group of teachers and students and Leitania's team had gathered in the newly established Academy City long before Rhodes Island issued the announcement.

Just like its name suggests, Academy City, built on a large plot of land, is a city in itself, and a large one at that.

The teachers and students who arrived at Academy City were not housed in the dormitory building within the school, but were assigned a single apartment in an apartment building adjacent to the school.

The Academy City, which was invested and built by many forces, is filled with ubiquitous smart homes, projection screens, self-driving cars, drones with different functions, and even beautiful urban greening and hovercrafts that can take off.

Because of the numerous aerial passages, the structural designs of many buildings are very different from those in ordinary cities. They are not only new and shiny, but also unique, sci-fi and magnificent.

It can be said that although it may not be at the forefront in terms of scale, Luo Hang has almost explicitly or implicitly determined his stance as an investment in Academy City. After several turmoil and purges, the entire Academy City can definitely be considered to be at the forefront of the world in terms of environmental conditions.

No one could have imagined that such a large plot of land had gathered so many resources from all forces, large and small. This was also the most precious gift Luo Hang prepared for Terra to deal with disasters.

He could have used these resources to do his own thing, but he chose to let everyone focus on this Academy City.

After the news of the opening ceremony was announced, many people who had not paid much attention to this Academy City were surprised to find that the number of people and the scale of the people gathered there far exceeded their imagination.

Not only was the new Queen Victoria present in person, but all parties sent important representatives. The most surprising person was—

Confidential Secretary to the Vice President of Colombia.

Many people were dumbfounded, and then they looked at the big Colombian companies that were still advocating the Rhode Island threat theory with strange eyes.

Little brother, what's going on with you?

Wen Yue, who was also invited to attend, was also surprised to see Luo Hang chatting happily with the confidential secretary.

Every time she thought she had seen this man's secret, he would always come up with a new secret.

Wen Yue shook her head helplessly.

It was no wonder that those girls fell for him after spending so much time with him. As someone who had been through it all, and with the perspective of a princess and the First Lady of Longmen, she understood the attraction that such a man had for girls.

"Ma'am, you are familiar with the doctor. I thought you wouldn't be more surprised than I am."

A gentle voice came from in front of her.

Wen Yue, who had been somewhat distracted, turned around and gave the intellectual Victorian woman in front of her a polite, apologetic smile.

"Minister Golding, you're joking. I only had some contact with Mr. Luo Hang earlier. On the contrary, as the Minister of Education and Culture, given the prospects shown by Academy City, I'm afraid your status in the hearts of your doctors is much higher than mine, right?"

Wen Yue was polite at first, then sighed, "Exploring a man's secrets is a very dangerous act. I probably don't know more secrets than you."

"But I do know that the girls around the doctor are very close to you, madam. You're being a bit modest."

Golding gave a faint smile.

Wen Yue was speechless as she looked at Golding, who was not only beautiful but also outstanding.

Why do I see that guy's mistress everywhere?

But that's true. Since he's in charge of Academy City, he definitely wouldn't hand over such an important position to someone he doesn't trust.

"So, ma'am, can you tell me about the doctor's past?"

Golding gave her a slightly curious look.

"It's not really a secret..."

Wen Yue nodded.

For people who don’t know him, this is actually a secret that cannot be told, but since this minister is Luo Hang’s own man, there is nothing that cannot be said.

This is something that's... somewhere between not being a secret and being a secret.

While the two women were talking in a low voice, Luo Hang on the other side was also ready to appear.

Chapter 644: Lest the Doctor Save You

"Ah, I see Anna."

"I saw Lada too!"

In the crowded college square, several young and beautiful girls were mixing in the crowd of spectators visiting the opening ceremony.

Natalia and Sonya, and Rosalyn and her mother.

The friends from the Ursus Student Self-Government League gathered together again, although this time the class was a bit large and there were two friends in the queue of new students.

"Didn't Radha say she wanted to be a pastry chef? Why is she here to enroll?"

Rosalyn's voice was as loud and unrestrained as ever, and her voice was clearly audible amidst the clamor of the crowd.

"You have to learn to be a pastry chef, too, and you can even take exams and get certifications. I didn't know Academy City had technical subjects before, but after Anna told me about it, Rada submitted her application as well."

Sonya explained casually.

"What about you?"

Rosalyn opened her big round eyes and said, "Didn't they say that the doctor would also be making an appearance today? Wouldn't you guys need to provide some kind of protection?"

"The captain gave us two a day off."

Like Sonya, who was wearing a spring sweatshirt and trousers, Natalia, who changed into a daily college-style pleated skirt and black thermal socks, smiled.

"After all, Anna and Rada's enrollment is quite meaningful, and since they are both here, the captain granted us both a vacation."

Natalia, who is young and beautiful, is wearing a college-style casual outfit and still looks like a school JK.

Rosalyn still has many questions:

"That--"

Takiyana, who was standing next to her, gave her daughter a slap on the head, feeling very disappointed with her daughter:

"Everyone else knew to continue their studies and even got into such a great school. You had the opportunity too, so why didn't you seize it?!"

Rosalyn refused to accept the offer and retorted without even a scratch. "I want to be a traveler and explorer. What's the point of being stuck in school? This is all inherited from you, Mom!"

Takiyana was speechless.

Well, the boomerang hit me back on the head. This is retribution for my daily wandering.

So she slapped her daughter again.

Rosalyn: "——? What are you doing?"

"I want to knock you!"

"——??"

Sonya and Natalia looked at the funny mother and daughter with different expressions.

Fortunately, at this time, someone finally walked up to the podium.

The layers of light screens of varying sizes suspended in the sky, projected by drones, simultaneously showed Luo Hang with a standard business smile.

"Welcome to all the new teachers, guests, and parents. I don't think I need to introduce myself."

He gave a brief opening speech, which drew good-natured laughter from the crowd.

Luo Hang also smiled: "My mission on stage this time is actually very simple, which is to read out to everyone the rules of survival in Academy City. Yes... rules."

The Academy City, built with so many resources, is naturally destined to be different from ordinary schools.

Saying "survival" may sound a bit scary on purpose, after all, at most you'll just drop out of school, but the rules are no joke.

Academy City can provide accommodation ranging from single apartments to luxurious villas, meals ranging from ordinary set meals to carefully prepared meals by first-class chefs, scientific research can have expensive scientific research equipment, and Originium skills can have advanced magic units.

This city can provide every aspect of a person's life, from the most basic standards for everyone to enter the city to the world's top, and all of this is determined only by performance and results.

Being a student here is a real profession, grades can be exchanged for everything, and results are even more so.

From elementary school to doctoral students, as well as postdoctoral students who can stay in Campus City to continue their research, from orthodox theoretical subjects and Originium craftsmanship to art and various industries, the lower grades talk about grades and the higher grades talk about results.

When Luo Hang said, "Achievements have no age or grade limits," no one realized the special meaning behind it, but it was enough to express his attitude.

In this place, if you want to roll, nothing is impossible!
