CHAPTER 1830: CHAPTER 958: IS MIST CITY ARTS AND SCIENCE UNIVERSITY REALLY THIS LOW-KEY? (PART 2)

As expected.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin showed a look of confusion on his face, and the next second he looked at Ding Yue.

With just a glance from Ding Yue, Xu Bin understood what was going on.

"Professor John, being able to collaborate with Stanford University on a project would be wonderful, however, we at Mist City Arts and Science University currently have too many research projects and cannot spare any time. We are truly sorry, Professor John."

Xu Bin’s words were a tactful way to refuse Professor John.

Hearing this, Professor John nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Of course, we understand. When you have time in the future, we hope we can still cooperate. Stanford University is very willing to collaborate with outstanding teams."

"Alright."

Xu Bin also nodded.

With that, knowing there was no chance to bind Mist City Arts and Science University to his side, Professor John tactfully said goodbye to Ding Yue and Xu Bin and left.

After Professor John left, Professor Cage from Europe’s Imperial Polytechnic University came over.

Xu Bin shook his head helplessly.

The intentions of these professors were basically the same, wanting to collaborate with Mist City Arts and Science University, especially since Mist City Arts and Science University had just won the championship in the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

"Xu, Principal Ding."

Professor Cage approached warmly.

With him being so warm, we couldn’t just treat him coldly, right?

Besides, this is Dublin in Ireland, an international exchange, and although we weren’t keen on interacting with these foreigners, we couldn’t be too obvious about it.

Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives captured any detail, they might blow it out of proportion.

Seeing Professor Cage greeting so warmly, Ding Yue and Xu Bin had to respond with warmth.

"Professor Cage, is there something you need from us? We are about to leave for the airport to return home, time is really tight, if there is something, could you send it to our email?"

Ding Yue cleverly said this before Professor Cage could speak.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin thought to himself, wow, Yue is really something, his quick thinking is truly impressive.

Thus.

Xu Bin immediately nodded and said, "Principal Ding, if we don’t leave now, we might miss our boarding time."

The secretary, Wen Ruohan, upon hearing the words of Principal Ding and Director Xu, thought that their flight was tomorrow?

Oh!

Got it!

Wen Ruohan instantly understood and quickly raised her wrist to check her watch, then promptly said in fluent English to Principal Ding and Director Xu: "Principal Ding, Director Xu, we are about to be late."

Seeing Secretary Wen Ruohan cooperating so well, Ding Yue smiled faintly, then apologetically said to Professor Cage: "Professor Cage, I’m really sorry, we have to get ready to leave."

"OK, Principal Ding, Xu, have a smooth journey."

Professor Cage naturally saw this and couldn’t say much, as he couldn’t delay their time, could he?

Seeing this, Ding Yue immediately asked Xu Bin to gather the team members of Mist City Arts and Science University who participated in the contest and get ready to leave the venue of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

Definitely not heading to the airport, just going back to the hotel would suffice.

After all, the results of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest were already out, and there was no point for Mist City Arts and Science University’s team to stay here, other than to accept some media interviews.

Being the world’s number one, those interviews were meaningless; it was better to let everyone return to the hotel early to rest well.

"Let’s go, let’s go, everyone, pack up, we are preparing to leave."

Xu Bin immediately called on Chen Jun and the other team members who participated in the competition.

Just like that.

Mist City Arts and Science University’s team was the first to leave the venue of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest. The overseas media who wanted to catch up for interviews were all turned down by Ding Yue.

What’s there to interview? Now the whole world knows the champion of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is Mist City Arts and Science University, no need for more interviews. Once back home, we’ll focus on our Metaverse research.

Absolutely not revealing any bit of Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group’s plans in the Metaverse to these foreigners.

"As we can see, the team from Mist City Arts and Science University has left the venue, and many media couldn’t get an interview. But don’t worry, dear audience, when we return to our country, we will contact Mist City Arts and Science University to conduct a special interview."

The reporter from NTS said in the live stream.

"Hahaha, is Mist City Arts and Science University really that aloof?"

"Is this the legendary indifference to fame and fortune?"

"Even skipped the interview."

"Hahaha, it’s so typical of Mist City Arts and Science University."

"They just left directly, cracked me up, very Mist City Arts and Science University."

"Wouldn’t they seize the opportunity to showcase themselves?"

"I think they should’ve stayed for the interview."

"What’s the point of an interview? We are the world’s best, the strongest, don’t need interviews or promotions."

"Mist City Arts and Science University is quite interesting, haha."

The viewers in the NTS live stream started joking around, as it was the first time they saw someone winning at such a grand stage as the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest and not accepting interviews, estimating Mist City Arts and Science University might be the only one.

Soon enough.

Mist City Arts and Science University’s team disappeared from the lenses of major media live broadcasts.

After leaving the venue of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest, Ding Yue and Xu Bin took the team straight back to the hotel.

At the hotel, Ding Yue gathered all team members in his room.

"Principal Ding."

"Hello, Principal Ding."

"Principal Ding, heeheehee, do we have prize money?"

"Wow, are you that direct?"

After arriving at Principal Ding’s room, the team members greeted him, and some even asked about the prize money.

"Hahaha."

Ding Yue laughed upon hearing this and said, "I like straightforward students like that. Of course, prize money is very important when participating in such contests. Let me assure you, there will definitely be prize money, and it’s a significant amount!"

The team members earned the championship of the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest through their efforts, so the prize money was naturally theirs.

Winning deserves this, and if they lost, it would be fine too, just reflect and keep working hard.

"About the prize money, Director Xu will discuss it with you later. Today, I gathered everyone to tell you that you did a great job in the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest this time, bringing great honor to Mist City Arts and Science University. You are the pride of Mist City Arts and Science University."

Ding Yue said with great pride.

Seeing Principal Ding so proud, every student on the team felt very happy.

"Principal Ding, it’s Mist City Arts and Science University that made me successful; the school is our pride."

"Right, the school is our pride."

"Without Mist City Arts and Science University, I definitely wouldn’t have achieved what I have today."

"Honestly, Principal Ding, Director Xu, if I hadn’t chosen Mist City Arts and Science University, I might have ended up working in a factory screwing nails."

"Hahaha."

The team members said one after another, and when a student mentioned screwing nails in a factory, everyone burst out laughing.

"You have a talent for computers, but you must continue your efforts, and in the future, screwing nails won’t have anything to do with you, but building a vast Metaverse will be closely related to you."

Ding Yue laughed and said to that student.
