Wu Meng is a very professional journalist.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, she quickly adjusted her mentality. Although her facial expression was somewhat stiff and not as natural as at the start, she still smiled and asked Lin Beichen a few more questions.
At this moment, the interview was nearing its end.
She directed her gaze towards the live stream comments.
At this moment, the real-time viewers in the live stream had soared from thousands to tens of thousands!
All of them were netizens who had seen the trending topic on various social platforms and rushed over.
The comment section was many times more lively than before.
The comments were densely packed.
None of the comments had anything to do with the school anniversary; all of them were about curiosity and skepticism towards Lin Beichen.
After looking through the comments, Wu Meng couldn’t hold back and asked a question that her professional conduct should have prevented her from asking.
"Lin Beichen, when you mentioned using human powers to summon celestial thunder, are you talking about the kind of scene in TV dramas and movies where thunder strikes down at the wave of a hand?"
"Pretty much, similar to what you described."
Lin Beichen nodded without any hesitation and said, "Or you could call it the Five Thunders Technique."
"..."
Wu Meng was completely stunned.
The Five Thunders Technique?
Just those three words.
Immediately, a vivid scene appeared in her mind.
The dark, gray clouds in the sky turned into a spinning column, like a tornado.
Giant purple lightning bolts struck down from the sky with fierce speed, like a thunderstorm prison!
It was like the end of the world!
Wu Meng instinctively blurted out, "Are you trying to cultivate immortality?"
Cultivate immortality?
Lin Beichen thought to himself, isn’t my unique method just what ordinary people would call immortality?
So he nodded and said, "You could say that."
"?????"
Not only was Wu Meng left speechless by his frankness, but the tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream were also shocked, he admitted it himself?!
All of a sudden, it stirred up waves again!
The online buzz about "Lin Beichen" not only didn’t die down but actually increased. Leveraging this momentum, the news of "Lin Beichen admitting to cultivating immortality" spread across the internet within an instant, like a giant wave surging on a stormy sea.
"Cultivate immortality? He’s gone mad!"
"The top scorer in the college entrance exams, now obsessed with cultivating immortality!"
"This is absurd, how could the idea of cultivating immortality occur to the first in the history of the college entrance exams?"
"Admitting to wanting to cultivate immortality? He needs treatment right away!"
"..."
The internet’s negative and skeptical comments about Lin Beichen reached a new level.
However, their remarks didn’t have the slightest impact on Lin Beichen, because until now, he had just seen off Wu Meng, the staff from Chaopai News, and the principal and hadn’t even looked at his phone.
"Will there be any problems with my interview?"
The principal’s expression when he looked back before leaving, that expression was constantly in Lin Beichen’s mind.
That expression was indescribably strange.
It was speechless and helpless.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
He thought, wait a minute, after the staff from Chaopai News leave, and the principal has time, I will go find him to talk.
At this moment, looking at the half-cleaned gymnasium, Lin Beichen picked up the mop again.
Just as he was about to finish the unfinished work.
The phone notification sound echoed.
"Ding dong ding... ding dong ding..."
Lin Beichen glanced at it, it was a video call from Han Yuan, what could be so urgent that he needed to make a video call?
With a hint of doubt.
He answered the video call.
Instantly!
The three roommates appeared on the video call screen, their faces full of concern.
The matter of Lin Beichen was causing a huge stir on the internet, as his roommates, they were the first to know about it.

Seeing the overwhelming skepticism and denial of Lin Beichen on the internet.
They were very worried that Lin Beichen couldn’t handle the immense pressure, so after seeing Wu Meng finish the interview with him, they immediately called him, intending to comfort him.
Liang Dong was the first to ask with concern, "Beichen, are you okay?"
"I’m fine."
Lin Beichen looked puzzled, "What could be wrong with me?"
Han Yuan questioned back, "You don’t know yet?"
"Know what?"
"The interview you just did with Chaopai News has already spread on the internet, and the online feedback, well, how should I put it..."
Han Yuan awkwardly scratched his head, not knowing how to continue.
Wu You waved his hand and took over, "Beichen, you don’t need to care about what those people say online; even if you see it, don’t take it to heart, don’t mind it."
Hearing them say this.
Lin Beichen immediately understood why the principal looked at him that way before leaving. Did what he said in the interview cause quite a reaction online?
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I got it."
"Uh..."
Just then, Liang Dong grinned and said, "You need to be careful when doing your research, don’t get hurt."
"Yes, yes, safety first!"
"That’s right, good luck, I’m still waiting for you to teach me how to cultivate immortality."
"..."
Wu You and Han Yuan quickly echoed.
Compared to the netizens, the three of them, like the principal Hao Jianhua, were willing and tried to understand Lin Beichen’s wild ideas. Although they also found his idea or final goal to be very far-fetched and impossible to achieve, they didn’t discourage him but instead offered their encouragement and reminders.
