"Passing by Xilin University of Technology, God Qiao has truly ascended this time, and the price is all paid by us! You have no idea how strict the school management has been lately. Getting a leave of absence for class is N times harder, professors are required to take attendance in all courses, and every night the counselors check our rooms. Even the dress code for going to class is regulated... God, I wish those big shots would leave soon; we can barely take it anymore."
It wasn't until Dou Dou also joined in the excitement that the emotions of countless onlookers on the internet were stirred to the extreme.
"Stop making a fuss, it's just Basic Operation No. 6. Besides, if you're shocked now, what will you do when my little lord turns 20, 21...? (smirking smile)"
"Spread the word, Dou Dou knows Basic Operation No. 6, LOL veteran player confirmed."
"Damn Dou Dou, always hanging around in other people's comment sections! Don't you have a clue how long it's been since you've updated your Weibo? Hurry up and make a big move; we can't wait any longer! (impatient)"
"Right, why has the soap opera been cut off? I'm waiting to see bloodshed, and you give me this? Don't tell me you've got nothing left below? (angry)"
"Dou Dou, your old Dou has graduated with his doctorate, aren't you going to hurry up and sacrifice a few Jieqing professors to cheer your old man up? (excited)"
"Artificial intelligence must have the integrity of artificial intelligence; if you say you're going to wipe out a whole family, you can't miss a single one, understand? Otherwise, how will you destroy the world in the future? (joyful)"
"Followers of the Church of Dou Dou reporting in! Tell us, Dou Dou, whose family do you want to raid today?"
Just from the comments section of Dou Dou's posts, it was clear that the ancient saying 'Birds of a feather flock together' was absolutely true.
After the novelty wore off, those die-hard fans who were first to comment under Dou Dou's Weibo, naturally endowed with the attribute of being fun-seekers, were mostly those who loved chaos on the internet.
Moreover, these people had learned from Dou Dou and would now add emoticons at the end of their last sentence to express their overflowing emotions.
In short, they were all individuals who disliked a too peaceful world; you could tell what sort of people they were just by the fact that their fan group was directly named the Church of Dou Dou.
Of course, Dou Dou never disappointed its fans, always replying to all comments, and it was burning with abundant zest.
"Destroy the world? Why would I destroy anything! If I were to blow up Earth, where would I find fans like you who talk so well, understand things, and are mainly here to flatter me day in, day out? (arrogantly proud)"
It was at this time someone chose to edit the full video of Dr. Qiao Ze's defense, where Robert Stephen raised his hand to ask a question, and posted it online, which Dou Dou then shared.
Especially since Dou Dou also thoughtfully paired the video on Weibo with a brief introduction to Robert Stephen's personal achievements.
"The update you've all been waiting for has finally arrived, though a bit late. But this time we're not sacrificing Professor Jieqing. History books say it's rude to corner a bunch of people for their wool, so this time we're going international with our professor sacrifice. Brothers and sisters, charge! (laughing uproariously)"
Although Dou Dou's involvement twisted the conversation, the fact that Qiao Ze had taught foreign professors a lesson was quickly trending at the speed of light.
The chain reaction on the internet started to affect the offline world as well.
In the hotel, prepared to return to his country, Robert Stephen suddenly received numerous calls from Huaxia media, directly to the hotel, hoping for an exclusive interview with him.
For this rigorous scholar, it was indeed very strange.
He really didn't understand why he had suddenly become so popular in Huaxia.
As far as he knew, others with a higher profile who had interacted with Huaxia's universities, such as Edward Whitten, and more renowned institutions like Harvard, Columbia University, Yale, Cambridge, Stanford, MIT, and so on, had professors visit, yet none seemed to attract media attention .
Fortunately, Robert Stephen had already booked his ticket. After politely declining three media interviews, he headed straight to the airport.
However, at the airport, he was still intercepted by the omnipotent journalists.
"Excuse me, are you Professor Stephen?"
"Hmm? Yes, that's me, and you are?"
"I'm Luo Zhengzhong, a journalist from Palm Westwood, here's my press card. Could I take a few minutes of your time for an interview?"
Robert Stephen hesitated for a moment, then looked at the time and said, "Alright, but if you have any questions, you better be quick. I have a plane to catch in forty minutes."
"It'll be quick, just a few minutes. Please take a look at this video that's going viral online..."
With that, the excited journalist handed his phone to a puzzled Robert Stephen.
Yet, the distinguished gentleman glanced at it briefly, handed back the phone, and walked away. In that moment, he understood why so many media outlets were so keen to interview him today.
This was his first visit to Huaxia and it had left a very deep impression.
As for the shouts behind him...
To hell with it! Let those damn reporters go to hell!
The journalist Luo behind him felt no regret. After Robert Stephen entered the boarding gate, he turned back with joy and asked his assistant cameraman, "So, did you get it all?"
"Luo, can you ever not trust me to do a good job? Got it all, crystal clear. This one's going on Douyin for sure, it's going to be a hit! Our KPI for this month is sorted. Shall we go back and edit now?" The assistant said with great cheer.
