[Favorability of Han Jie towards the Host increases by +20 (admiration)!]

 

[Aura of protagonist Liu Feng -20!]

 

[Protagonist's luck -10!]

 

[Points you gained….]

 

Upon hearing this series of achievements, Louis asked the system with a hint of mockery. 'Kuhuhuhuhhh… what about that? Didn't I deserve some awards?'

 

[Your nonsense… but I'll praise you this time for gaining many plot points!]

 

'Alright, now can you check the golden finger of that protagonist using the plot points I just earned?'

 

Ding!

 

[It will cost 300 plot points to check, proceed? Y/N.]

 

'Why is the cost so high?'

 

[Do you want to cancel it?]

 

'Forget it, just proceed!'

 

Ding!

 

[System has successfully checked it!]

'Damn, aren't his stats higher than Yang Jian's?'

 

[It seems Liu Feng has efficiently utilized his system over a long period.]

 

But Louis forgot about that for now.

 

At this moment, all attention was focused on the handsome man standing in front of the stage and delivering a graceful and beautiful European opera-style closing salute.

 

Han Jie, who had become aware again after being lost in her thoughts, then picked up the mic thrown by Louis and checked it, only to find that one of the cables inside the mic seemed to have been cut by something sharp and not thrown by Louis. "Shouldn't this still be working earlier?"

 

Without much thought, Han Jie immediately walked up on stage with her confident presenter smile. "That was a really great singing, brother! But before that, can you introduce yourself first? Maybe the other friends want to get to know you better!"

 

Smiling friendly as he greeted Han Jie, Louis then took another mic given by the girl and enthusiastically responded, "Alright, thank you for your kindness, Miss Han Jie." Then he turned to the audience and introduced himself lightly, "Hello everyone! Since Miss Han Jie asked me to introduce myself, allow me to do that. My name is Louis de Lawrance, I am of European and Chinese descent. I come from the business economics program!"

 

When they heard his name, everyone had a bit of an idea and gave varied but essentially positive responses.

 

Then Han Jie spoke and interviewed Louis, he answered it happily, "I decided to study here to learn many things about China after refusing my parents' wishes for me to study in Europe or America! The history that has been written for thousands of years and its culture, I don't know why, but I feel very connected to it. Don't you feel the same? In essence, I like it!"

 

He did it as if he were an admiring foreign youth. This made everyone in the auditorium feel proud and unconsciously feel close to Louis for choosing to be a student in China rather than the West!

 

Slowly, they began to show respect to the man.

 

But there was one person who wasn't pleased with Louis' words, it was Liu Feng. The man then walked towards Louis holding the mic and said, "Wowww, that's great Mr. Louis! But I'm a little curious, why did you choose to study here when you had the chance to study in America? If I may ask, Why is that? Is it your real reason? Is it because of financial constraints or not passing there? Ahhh… It's okay if you don't answer." He closed the question with some gestures as if somewhat reluctant to ask him.

 

Louis actually didn't want to answer, but after he glanced at the audience, who seemed to be waiting for his answer as well, he could only sigh tiredly before grinning inwardly.

 

'Is this bastard trying to trap me…?'

 

[Seems like it, he doesn't want you to shine and steal attention from him. Besides, that's how the Honor's System works, it takes respect from others as its driving force.]

 

'I see…'

 

Smiling lightly, Louis responded, "Sorry, it seems like you didn't understand what I said, right? I truly admire Chinese culture as a descendant of China. I also study here because I want to honor my extended family here. Do I need another reason for choosing China over America in my studies? Cost is not a problem for my family because I can even start a company with the capital from my parents, and for me, all the top campuses in the world are the same, the only difference is how they teach. So, I think there's no need to be too rigid and assume that education there is much better than here, and vice versa." Then Louis turned to the audience. "Don't you also think so?"

 

In unison, they began to respond agreeing with what Louis said.

 

"Yes, that's right! There's no need to elevate other places and degrade our homeland!"

 

"Liu Feng, isn't your question a bit too much?"

 

"Am I a bit wrong in judging you?"

 

Hearing many jeers and remarks like that, Liu Feng slightly growled and said with a slightly harsh tone, "But, doesn't it mean you're a rich boy? Relying too much on your wealth is also not good for your future."

 

"Ah, is that so? You should think before you ask. What's the point of asking that?"

"Isn't it obvious...?" Then, they both argued and countered each other for quite some time. Until eventually, Liu Feng became slightly nauseous and calmed himself down.

He fell silent for a moment before asking about something else, "By the way, who are your parents—"

 

"THAT'S ENOUGH-!!!"

 

An old man exclaimed loudly among the audience in the VIP row which consisted of important people and big businessmen.

 

"The question you asked Louis is too personal! If you don't stop it immediately, I will sue you and even your to court!" continued the old man with anger.

 

Everyone who turned and heard the threat was shocked by it. But the most surprising among all of that was the identity of the old man!
