Chapter 023 Alice Mitchellng
[Sorry, Mia! I'm heading over to Sherry's livestream!]
[Count me in! It' too lively over there! Haha!]
[I'm not even there for Sherry; I just want to see how many rockets Mr. Smoke will send. I'm totally blown away!]
[You traitors, scumbags... wait for me!!]
Watching as a dozen more nobles left the livestream,
Mia was on the verge of tears.
Mr. Smoke was just too rich.
Under the massive impact of over ten thousand Super Rockets, the traffic he drove was unimaginable.
People are naturally curious.
They love excitement.
If you send a few dozen, or even a few hundred rockets, it might not be a big deal!
Because such occurrences are pretty common.
Shark Live has been around for years and has wealthy patrons who can send a few hundred rockets.
But someone who can send over ten thousand Super Rockets at once?
That had never happened before!
Since its inception, Shark Live has never seen anyone send over ten thousand Super Rockets at one go.
But today, "LonelySmoke" did it.
This sudden ultra-rich patron quickly became the leader of the wealthy in just a few days.
He not only sent on Shark Live but also TikTok.
Every time he spent, it's despairingly lavish.
And each time was more intense and longer-lasting than the last.
In just three sessions, he has spent nearly $750,000!
Mr. Smoke could practically become a shareholder of Shark Live!
Watching the dwindling audience in her livestream, Mia finally made up her mind to apologize to Mr. Smoke.
She wanted to explain why she didn't accept the invitation earlier during the livestream.
If she offended such an ultra-rich patron, she might as well quit streaming!
Picking up her phone, she opened Facebook chat and began to type a message.
[Mr. Smoke, I apologize for today. Earlier, there were too many people in the livestream, so it was inconvenient to respond. Actually, I do have time these days and was planning to visit Syeattel. Would you be available to be my guide?]
After editing the message, Mia immediately sent it.
At that moment, Charles was still sending rockets.
After tapping the screen for two hours, his hand was really sore.
Fortunately, his body had been strengthened; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep up.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a message popped up on Facebook.
It was from Mia.
Charles opened it and was a bit stunned!
'What does this mean?
'You didn't agree to have dinner together before, and now you suddenly have time to fly from Nuw Yark to Syeattel for a trip?'
This change in attitude is quite unexpected!
'Could it be that you've finally understood my "depth"? That must be it!'
Charles nodded with a smile.
'Alright. I'll stop sending rockets today. Constantly sending rocket gifts is exhausting, and my phone is almost out of battery!' Charles thought.
When Charles finally stopped sending rockets, it took a full five minutes for the viewers on the Shark Livestreaming platform to react.
[It's over, finally over!]
[Twelve thousand seven hundred Super Rockets! My god, he sent a total of twelve thousand seven hundred Super Rockets this time!]
[Welcome back, Dragon King!]
[Holy crap, Dragon King, you're finally back. Did you know you were defeated? Your top spot was snatched!]
[Before knowing Mr. Smoke, I thought sending a hundred rockets made someone a big spender. After knowing Mr. Smoke, I feel embarrassed to show off without sending at least a thousand Super Rockets!]
Sherry's livestream remained bustling.
But Charles had quietly left!
Unnoticed, the morning classes had ended.
Only then did Charles realize he had been sending rockets all the morning.
He hadn’t paid much attention to the lecture.
College professors, except for advisors, most lecturers don’t really keep tabs on students.
If you genuinely want to learn and humbly ask questions, they will naturally teach you.
If you choose to slack off, no professor will push you to study.
It's all up to your own discipline!
Typically, students sitting in the front rows are more studious and preparing for graduate school.
Students sitting in the back rows are just aiming to get their diplomas, as long as they don't fail their exams and pass with a 60.
Lacus Magnus University is a relatively good undergraduate school.
But it's not top-tier.
Compared to Lindell Academy, EduVista Academy, CentraSud Academy, and InnoForge University, it's a notch lower.
To be honest, Charles' grades in high school weren't that great, just barely above average.
With those grades, he wouldn't have gotten into Lacus Magnus University.
But one day, when he found that the girl, Alice Mitchell, he had a crush on for three years,,was aiming for Lindell Academy, he suddenly started working hard!
In some coming-of-age movies, the male lead has poor grades for three years of high school, but in the last three months, he studies like crazy and ends up in the top ten of the school during the college entrance exam.
The story sounds inspiring.
But such dramatic turns are rare in reality.
Charles was a typical failed example.
He thought he was the protagonist.
By studying hard for the last three months before the college entrance exam, he could get into the same university as Alice!
Both getting into Lindell Academy.
Even if he couldn't be Alice's boyfriend, just being in the same school and quietly watching over her would have made Charles content!
He admitted that three months of intense effort did help; his grades improved significantly.
But he was still far from the Lindell Academy's cutoff score.
So, he failed.
Alice eventually got into Lindell Academy, a top-ten university,
While Charles ended up at Lacus Magnus University.
After starting college, Charles chose to pursue another girl to forget Alice.
That girl was Lisa.
Initially, it was to forget someone, but he ended up falling deeper and being played by Lisa.
Did he really fall in love with Lisa and completely forget Alice?
Charles didn't think so.
Three years of effort didn't make him truly devoted to Lisa; he was just moved by his persistence and felt unwilling to give up!
Suddenly thinking of that warm spring-like figure, Charles realized that after all these years, he had never forgotten her.
During three years of high school, because of his crush on Alice, Charles would be the first to jump through the window into the classroom every morning to clean her desk and chair.
He would secretly follow her home after evening self-study sessions and then went home alone, often hiding along her route just to see her smile and fight anyone who carved her name on a desk!
He would deliberately lend her books just to see her and talk to her, and daydream about her during class.
The name Alice occupied almost all of Charles' teenage years!
She was so outstanding that Charles never dared to confess.
From the moment he entered Lacus Magnus University, he knew that he and Alice would be two parallel lines, never intersecting again.
