Chapter 1196: Counterattack

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The situation was roughly like that.
The fourth day after reaching Egypt.
Early in the morning, Zhang Zian came to Wei Kang’s room to report, talking about how he’d met Lee Peter when he was sightseeing in the Great Pyramid. Then he met Salem in the Port of Mersa Matruh. Salem took him back to the Bedouin tribe to visit Nabari, a tour guide, and he met Lee Peter again in the tribe. Finally, he agreed to work together and enter the desert. He picked some major points in the series of events to tell the whole story.
He especially emphasized the actions of Lee Peter and the actions of the people in the Cosmological Information Society and reminded Wei Kang to properly consider.
This was a lot of information. He He, Xiao Tianyu, Du Xuetao, and Gao Ke were all dumbfounded listening.
“Wait wait wait wait wait wait! Just these few days, and you’ve met with such interesting stuff?” Xiao Tianyu looked down at his stomach in sadness. “And all I managed to get was more fat!”
“Teacher! I also want to go out to play!”
Gao Ke roared with grief and indignation, “I’ve had enough of holding academic meetings with those Egyptians all day long. I can’t understand anything! The coffee is so sweet! My muscles are warning me! All my fitness achievements have been destroyed at once!”
“You can’t understand it because you don’t study at all normally.” Du Xuetao pushed up his glasses. “I, on the other hand, have learned a lot…”
Gao Ke waved his hands and interrupted, “There’s no need to curry favor with the teacher in front of us. Anyway, no one is fighting with you for the position of a research student.”
Du Xuetao said nothing.
It’s just that Du Xuetao was an introvert and his temper was good. If it had been someone else, they would probably be arguing.
He He felt extremely jealous when she was listening, but the bruises on her body had just disappeared, and she was still scarred from what had happened before.
Zhang Zian was helpless. He had talked until his mouth was parched and his throat dry, but they had all missed the point. The key point was exploring the desert with people who were totally unknown and could not communicate normally, which contained many uncertain factors.
Wei Kang thought for a long time and nodded. “I see. The information you provided is valuable,” he said. “However, we should not emphasize risks unilaterally. We should also see the factors that are beneficial to us. We are small in number, and we are all alone. With the participation of people like Lee Peter, we can take care of each other. As for their views… Well, seek common ground while reserving differences!”
He emphasized to his disciples: “When you meet with those people, don’t argue with them. They can say whatever they want. You can just ignore it—just consider these words as important as a law. If anyone breaks that law, you’ll never want to graduate.”
Wei Kang’s voice was calm, but the weight of this sentence was emphasized through the calm. He never threatened these students with graduation, but this time it was a big deal. Any accident in the desert could lead to irreparable losses. He had to make students understand his determination.
The students all looked at each other and stopped smiling and laughing.
“Xiao Zhang is right. Although Lee Peter promised to provide us with food and water, we can’t rely on whatever they say. When our academic conference is over, we will use the rest of the day today to buy what is needed,” Wei Kang said.
The students shared excited looks. They could finally go and shop.
“How about Xiao Zhang? Do you want to go shopping with us or go to Siva Oasis first to check it out?” Wei Kang asked Zhang Zian for his opinion, but his tone obviously favored the latter.
How could Zhang Zian not understand the meaning between the lines? He had no interest in shopping with them. It was just the ordinary happenings of the goddess of stay-at-home guys and three dogs that licked at her feet.
“I’ll go check around first,” he said, offering his services.
“Alright, then you can arrange your time freely. Let’s pack up and go shopping in the street and rent a car. Tomorrow we’ll meet in the Siva Oasis,” Wei Kang said, satisfied.
Zhang Zian withdrew from the room and let them discuss what to buy and where to buy those things. He didn’t need to care about these trivial matters. In addition, Nabari had given him a list of necessary items, which he had sent to Wei Kang.
Back in their room, most of the elfins were still sleeping lazily. After all, they had come back very late yesterday and arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in the middle of the night. It was one or two o’clock in the morning when they finished tossing and turning and fell asleep.
Anyway, he could arrange his time freely, and he really wanted to lie down and make up for lost sleep, but now was not the time for recuperation. He must prove Sihwa’s innocence before the rescue event continued to be twisted.
On the internet, silence was not golden, because silence would only be regarded as weakness and justification. Now many fans were spontaneously defending Sihwa, but if she did not show up all the time, it would chill the hearts of fans slowly, and her popularity would be quickly lost.
“Pi, how’s it going?”
Besides Zhang Zian, there was another elfin who’d woken up early—it was not too accurate to say that, because Pi practically had not slept the whole night.
“Cheep cheep.”
Pi raised up its head, taking off the glasses on its nose, and rubbed its aching and bloodshot eyes, nodding at him.
A book was open in front of him, a book that, to Zhang Zian’s eyes, was fully empty. It was a wordless book that could not be flipped through to the end—the Book of Pi.
The whole night, it had been flipping through and reading the Untitled Book.
An arrow shot from a hidden place was difficult to guard against, while a gun in the light was easy to avoid.
To prove that Sihwa’s innocence was not enough, it was necessary to pull out the one who did it from behind the scenes, so as to show muscle, the power to knock down mountains and shock tigers, and deter the foolish competitors on the live broadcasting platform. This was to warn them that Sihwa was not easy to provoke. If anyone wanted to trouble her, they must first weigh their own weight.
But how could he catch the one who was behind this? Who was the one who’d bought fake accounts to cause their fans to come and attack Sihwa?
Zhang Zian considered asking for help from the live broadcasting platform. As long as he traced the IDs of those fake accounts, it would be easy to find clues.
However, the executive who contacted him carefully found many ways to get around it, such as saying that this was the spontaneous behavior of users and citing the need to protect users’ privacy, all kinds of superficial words and all kinds of reasons.
Zhang Zian could also understand the platform’s hopes to peacefully reconcile, let Sihwa prove her innocence, and stop it at that. As for those anchors who were trying to ruin Sihwa’s reputation… It was supposed to be an anchor who was quite famous, so it was better not to go into it.
For the platform, whether it was the back of their hand or the palm, it was all flesh. How could they pick one to help?
The platform probably had concerns. Was Sihwa’s rescue real? If it was fake, it would become a black history of Sihwa’s life, and it would make the platform reconsider the issue of signing contracts with Sihwa.
Normally, big anchors would be worried for their own hide and would not do such sly things.
Therefore, Zhang Zian, who could not take it lying down, could only turn to Pi and his nameless book of life, the universe, and everything.
