I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Famous Columbia University

The reaction was almost the same as Sophie predicted. When he heard that his group was the champion, Tu Fu eagerly began to fantasize about the prize of 100,000 kroner.

Then,

The more I think about it, the more I regret it.

"It's a big loss, a bonus of 100,000. If I knew I could win the championship, I would have asked Professor Kane for a little more. It's too late to say anything now."

Even as the champion, Tu Fu couldn't be happy with his drooping face.

Seemed to see the crisp and pleasant little coins, after he surrounded him, he could get them with a wave of his hand, but they suddenly grew wings and flew away, no matter how hard he chased them, he couldn't catch them.

Even when the challenge cup champions took a group photo, others smiled at the camera, Tu Fu tried his best to smile, but he couldn't hide the sadness on his face.

"When I was your age, if I won an award, it would not be this expression."

"Child, be happy, you have won the first place, this is the highest honor."

"If His Majesty the King knew that there is a genius like you in the Kingdom, he would surely smile from ear to ear."

Officials from the Baia Education Department took turns to pat him on the shoulder, encouraging this young and famous Michigan student.

In their eyes, Tu Fu is no longer just an ordinary student, he behaves more like a scholar and inventor.

"hope so."

It was hard for Tu Fu to laugh when he heard these words. Electric lights need generators to supply electricity, which is completely different from the technological point that William II wanted to light up, and they are already strangers.

On behalf of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences, I snatched the education funds that the other party wanted to invest in perpetual motion research. Now William II does not want to kill himself.

As soon as he was free, the host took advantage of this opportunity and came to him, "Mr. Capet, please come on stage and have a chat with students from various universities. Regarding the great invention of the electric light, we all think it is a work of genius. do.

It can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it. Can you tell everyone the secret of your success? "

"the secret to success?"

Tu Fu raised his brows, and he suddenly noticed that thousands of people were looking at him, looking at the first freshman at the University of Michigan with expectant eyes.

That's right, when the student who stepped on Columbia University scored the highest score in history, even the students of the enemy's opponent also gave birth to admiration for him,

Tu Fu, who had nothing to say, suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Well."

He coughed lightly, stood on the display stand and looked down, then turned to the host and asked seriously:

"Sir, did you just mention genius? But I never considered myself a genius."

These humble words aroused the favor of most people present. The students who can enter the Seven Schools League, which ones are not eyeing the name of genius to come in, are somewhat proud of the students of prestigious schools.

A blockbuster figure like Tu Fu is not a genius, and who can afford this title.

Ke Tufu denied such a statement, and now even the judges from the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom and the Seven Schools Alliance looked at this little guy, expecting him to say something shocking to the world.

"Then what do you think a genius should be?"

The host of Columbia University was quick-witted and followed Tu Fu's words to climb up.

Once again apologizing to Mr. Thomas Alva Edison in his heart, Tu Fu said loudly: "I think the so-called genius should be one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. .”

One percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration!

well said.

Does this mean that hard work trumps talent?

The voice fell, and the audience was silent.

Everyone chewed on this sentence over and over again, feeling more and more benefited.

The crowd dispersed in all directions. For the freshmen who just entered University of Columbia, this competition seemed to be taught a very meaningful lesson.

Accompanied by the spread of the "electric light" invention, and Tu Fulin's inspirational quote, both spread to Columbia on a viral scale.

The name of Tuf Capet has also been spread over and over again, reaching more people's ears.

Some admirers believe that such a strong man should be respected.

There are also those who hate him for slandering Columbia during the game, and want to challenge him unwillingly.

But no matter what, when this name appears in the ears of freshmen on the campus of Columbia University, it always makes people tremble.

"It will be great when the University of Michigan has the scale of Columbia University."

After the Challenge Cup competition ended, when he walked out to view the magnificent campus, especially the 100-meter-high building, Tu Fu couldn't help feeling sorry for the quaint facilities of the University of Michigan.

The more famous a century-old school is, the more difficult the teaching environment will be.

It's no wonder that Professor Kane wants to play with his bonus.

After coming out of the great hall, Tu Fu deliberately put on the hood and sunglasses that he carried with him, walked quickly through the crowd with his head down, and leaned against the wall of the door to look at the students walking out of it one by one from the corner of his eye.

Although other team members told him to be cautious, I don't know how many students from the University of Göttingen hate him now. Traveling alone is like throwing himself into a trap. It is not impossible to humiliate the University of Göttinghagen and be beaten.

He looked at the sky and prayed silently to God:

"Great and omnipotent God, please give me some good luck."

He was praying here, and at almost the same time, Sophie walked out with Shakira.

She wanted to stay inside for a while, but she couldn't stand the organizer's chase, and tried her best to protect the teachers and students who came to the competition. The implication was that she almost told Tu Fu to protect herself at Columbia.

"That is?"

During the short few minutes following the crowd, Sophie felt a certain instinct and familiarity, and Sophie felt a familiar figure rushing by from the crowd.

The sense of familiarity cultivated from childhood can never be wrong.

It was also at this moment that Tu Fu, who didn't know the desire to pray to God, shrugged his head and found a set of spotted skirts with a classical style and a romantic atmosphere from the crowd at a glance. The fabrics were even more decorated.

She is not at all like a lady from a small place, and she has been dressed like a real noble lady in only one month at Columbia University.

"Great God, and my other wish now is to give me one hundred thousand crowns."

Tu Fu looked at the sky and made another wish, but this time God didn't bother to talk to him.

Leaning on the wall, the man made this strange move, which attracted the "Miss Fashion" to walk towards him with a smile on her face.

"Sophie, where are you going?"

Shakira loosened her elbow, and Sophie, who had been holding her arm, walked towards a strange man.

But this cry did not cause Sophie to turn her head. Such a strange phenomenon made Miss Shakira Barrera really confused.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

While meeting, Tu Fu and Sophie sent the same greeting.

"Nice dress up."

Sophie looked at this guy and almost wrapped herself into a rice dumpling, even smiling.

"Whoever makes the students of Columbia University have always been hospitable, I can't bear their hospitality."

At this time, Shakira caught up and stared carefully at the face of this strange man. Thinking of the fate just now, she exclaimed in the next second,

"You are Capet..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Sophie slapped him on the shoulder and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"If you speak louder, lady, I may really not be able to get out of Columbia." Tu Fu showed a bitter expression on purpose to scare her, "But before that, you'd better help me contact the best hospital nearby."

Sophie gave this guy a blank look, and said generously: "Shakira, I've known him since childhood and grew up together, don't be surprised."

"I see."

The latter nodded frequently like a chicken pecking rice, and seemed to read the taste of gossip.

It was also when these two young men and women from Leeds, Osway, met, that Shakira understood many questions that she had previously wondered about, so she volunteered to raise her hand:

"I will help you see people, and I will never let others come over."

"sorry to bother you."

He didn't meet Sophie publicly, so Tu Fu naturally had his own considerations. With his status as a rat crossing the street at Columbia University, everyone shouting and beating him, if his relationship was exposed, it would be like putting Sophie on the fire.

Although most of the students who can come in are self-confident and can't do anything radical, they must be careful to guard against hidden arrows hidden in the shadows.

"By the way, the sentence you just said, I mean the last sentence, is that serious? It doesn't look like your style."

Such serious words cannot be said by an unscrupulous person like Tu Fu.

"Of course, because I have nothing to say." Tu Fu responded with a smile and winked mischievously, "But that one percent inspiration is often more important than ninety-nine percent sweat."

Now, even Shakira, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, couldn't help but roll his eyes. Those students who regard Tu Fu as their idol probably lost their fans instantly after hearing this sentence!

"Mr. Capet, I have an inappropriate question I want to ask you."

"Since it's not an appropriate question to ask..." Tu Fu just wanted to reply in this way, when he felt his arm bumped against someone's elbow, he immediately changed his words,

"Ma'am, just ask, I'll tell you everything."

Seeing him get on the set, the eccentric Shakira rolled her eyes, "I want to know about the poem you showed just now, whether it is a temporary play or has a special meaning, expressing personal emotions to the people in the poem.

I am sure that a man like Mr. Capet would never lie to my little girl. "

"Shakira~"

Sophie glared at her pretending to be dissatisfied. How could she casually ask someone such a physical question, but she cheered for her friend in her heart, "Shakira is such a good girl, she will definitely find her own prince in the future."

Feeling an inexplicable pressure, Tu Fu knew he couldn't avoid it, so he helplessly spread his hands at the two ladies: "Frankly speaking, it was really urgent for your school to issue test questions at that time.

I didn't know where to start, so I came up with that poem under extreme tension.

Now I think that the two possibilities you mentioned have a chance. "

This is not a very reasonable answer, which naturally made Shakira a little dissatisfied, muttering about the man's cunning.

"But that manuscript is in my hand. Since I like it, I'll give it to you as a souvenir." Tu Fu said, taking out the manuscript of the poem he just wrote from his pocket and handing it over.

This action instantly caught Shakira's eyes shining, and such manuscripts are full of collection value.

After taking it on behalf of Sophie, she recited the whole poem silently from top to bottom.

Such poems are shocking no matter how many times they are read.

"Hey, what is this?"

It was also at this time that she noticed that there was a line of small characters next to the headline. For Ms. Shakira Barrera, who was familiar with Assyrian, Elf, and Dragon languages, and was proficient in all the languages of the Northern Continent, she found that she was not familiar with it. Recognize the line of square symbols.

The structure of the line of symbols is very neat, like some kind of special system of text.

"This is not the language of the Northern Continent, so it could be some kind of ancient language of the Southern Continent."

Sophie also looked at the past curiously, and found that even she didn't know such a font, and secretly decided to work harder to decipher its meaning.

"That's not really important."

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two ladies, Tu Fu moved his eyes to the title.

It was a line of Chinese characters that he came up with temporarily when he was composing poems.

"The longest distance in the world"

—Given to Sophie by Tu Fu.
