Chapter 32: We Are Legends! (Part 1)
At 3:30 pm, exactly ten minutes after school was dismissed. When Su Jing stepped into the school's grand auditorium, it was already packed! The grand auditorium had a maximum capacity of 1600 people when it was built, but at this time, not only were all seats taken, but nearly a hundred students were standing in the back or in the aisles between the seats. Su Jing roughly estimated that there were more than 1700 students present!
In a vocational school like this, it's almost an impossible task to get all students to show up at school. There are dozens of absences due to illness, personal reasons, and mysterious disappearances every day! And there are over 100 students who are still enrolled but have gone missing in action!
All the students of the business school, when added together, only number nearly two thousand. This means that apart from these impossible-to-appear students, basically all the current students of the business school have appeared here! It seems that the students of the business school are still giving this classmate a lot of face! Of course, this also has a direct relationship with the inherent nature of business school students who love to join in the excitement and fear that the world is not chaotic enough!
Su Jin walked up to the front stage, and with his appearance, the chaotic auditorium gradually quieted down. After all, he was the main character of the day! Su Jin saw Zhou Principal standing in front of him on the stage, his face calm and professional, with a smile that made it hard to tell what he was thinking. Su Jin smiled at Zhou Principal and nodded in greeting. Zhou Principal also smiled back at Su Jin and nodded in response. Su Jin couldn't figure out why Zhou Principal was here and felt a bit apprehensive, as the school's attitude towards him would have a huge impact on him, making him cautious. However, apart from Zhou Principal, he didn't see any other school leaders on site, so he guessed they were hiding around. Forget it, since he couldn't figure it out, he might as well just stick to his plan and if it succeeded, the school would have to think twice before touching him! Besides, wasn't there still Old Su, a deputy mayor, who could handle this school? What was he afraid of?
Su Jin didn't look at Principal Zou, his eyes swept across the other students, and he smiled faintly before walking to the center of the stage. He picked up the microphone and looked out at the students below, saying calmly: "I'm very happy to see everyone here today! You've all taken time out of your busy schedules to come here and listen to my speech, to hear me talk nonsense - this truly makes me feel deeply grateful! Thank you, everyone!" After finishing speaking, Su Jin gave a deep bow to the students below.
The students under the stage were stunned, and after a brief silence, they suddenly burst into thunderous applause! The applause was mixed with various responses from some active students.
"Sū jǐn! (Awesome!) Being able to participate in such an event is more than we could have asked for!"
"That's right, it would be great if you could organize one every day! At that time, I'll come to help you with the venue setup!"
"Su Jin, good job, we support you!"
……
Su Jin didn't gesture for the people below to quiet down, instead he quietly waited until the voices from below gradually subsided. Only then did he continue: "I haven't been at this school for a long time, it was only last year during the second semester when new students entered that I first stepped foot in here! Most of the people present today are my seniors, and even the youngest among you are my fellow classmates! As for me, due to some special reasons, I rarely appear in school, so much so that if we're talking about familiarity with this school, I don't hold a candle to any one of you! But this doesn't affect my feelings towards this school at all! In fact, I dare say that my feelings towards this school are deeper than anyone else's here!"
Looking at the students below, Su Jian's eyes were slightly red, and his expression was somewhat excited. At this time, he had already activated the system's military rank attached skill "Eloquence". The system's product was indeed a masterpiece. "Eloquence" gave Su Jian's words an incredible power, a power that was so strong, unlike physical destructive forces, but directly affecting people's spirits. As Su Jian spoke, his words penetrated deep into the students' hearts, making everyone who heard him involuntarily acknowledge his words and follow his train of thought step by step!
Su Jin looked at the students and teachers below, all of whom had expressions of agreement on their faces. It was as if whatever Su Jin said was a truth! He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a shiver that came from deep within his soul! Although he had some understanding of the system's capabilities from its previous introduction, he hadn't thought it would be this powerful. He had assumed the system would automatically control his body, allowing him to give speeches like famous orators in history, moving people's hearts with his words! But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all. The system did indeed control his body, granting him the speaking abilities of those famous orators, but even the most skilled speakers could only sway their audience through examples and persuasion. However, the system was directly controlling the minds of everyone present, making them involuntarily accept whatever Su Jin said as truth! Was this really possible? If so, was this a power that humans should possess? Should humans have the ability to say anything, regardless of its correctness, and have others believe it as absolute truth? This was already in the realm of gods, a forbidden zone that mortals shouldn't dare to tread!
At this time, Su Jing suddenly had deep doubts about the origin of the system, why it appeared on him, what its purpose was, and even why he was reborn. Because he really couldn't imagine that something like this would appear out of nowhere without any purpose! When it first appeared, it introduced itself as a weapon! Su Jing didn't suspect anything, and even now, he still doesn't suspect anything! But the system has undoubtedly exceeded the definition of an ordinary system, it's a real divine artifact, the kind that can help one person conquer the world! It's hard for Su Jing to imagine that such a divine artifact would appear without any purpose! As for what those urban legends said about some future scientific laboratory creating it, then the lab exploding, and finally the system traveling through time and space back to the past and attaching itself to the protagonist's body... those are just stories to fool those arrogant young masters! I reckon only an abnormal person would believe that!
However, under the current circumstances, Su Jin obviously didn't have time to think about the system anymore. Although he believed that he no longer needed to continue his speech, as long as he directly stated what he was going to do, the audience below would involuntarily take it as a holy command and execute it without hesitation or deduction. But today, there were not only students and teachers from Shangshui Commercial School in the audience, but also several reporters hidden among them, who had been contacted by Boss Huang to record Su Jin's speech, which would be broadcast on TV later! Su Jin really didn't dare imagine that his speech, recorded by cameras, could have such mind-controlling power. If it were possible, then the system wouldn't be a divine instrument, but an existence that shouldn't exist in the world, a reversal of heaven! So Su Jin still had to continue with this speech, and as for the system's problem, he would deal with it later. As for the existence that could create such a divine instrument as the system, it was too far away from Su Jin, just like an ant couldn't possibly guess the thoughts of a giant dragon! Su Jin couldn't guess the thoughts of this existence either; all he could do was follow the course of events naturally. Perhaps this was the tragedy of being a pawn!
A flash of lightning in his mind, but in reality it was only a few seconds. Su Zhan came back to himself and continued: "Some of you may not believe what I'm about to say, but this is my true thoughts! Because here, I gained a new life, here I achieved my career, here I found my self-respect and confidence, here I truly found the value of my existence in this society!"
A thunderous roar came from below the stage, and the faces of the teachers and students were filled with a kind of fanatical fervor that made Su Jin feel a chill run down his spine!
"Why do I say that? I believe everyone knows what I've done. No mistake, here I wrote 'The First Time', here I wrote 'Fighting Through the Sky', here I established Dream Net, and here I formed Writing Society! Now I want to ask, is there any classmate who hasn't read 'The First Time' or 'Fighting Through the Sky'? Is there any classmate who doesn't know about Dream Net or Writing Society?" Su Jin paused for a moment, his eyes scanning downwards.
At this moment, the teachers and students below the stage shouted in unison: "We've all seen it! We all know!"
Su Jin's eyes slightly condensed, this sentence was not originally in the script, it was Su Jin who decided to add it temporarily, just to test the system! But at this moment, he really couldn't tell whether the teachers and students below were saying this because of their true feelings or because they were completely under the system's influence. If it was due to the system's influence, then that would mean the system might have intelligence, and when Su Jin asked this question, it would automatically cooperate with his speech. If it was their true feelings, then there was still a possibility that the system had intelligence, but this possibility was now hanging in the balance! It was possible that the system was set up to release control over the audience when the host asked questions, allowing them to answer according to their true feelings, or maybe the AI was acting on its own initiative. Originally, Su Jin should have used more explicit questioning methods, such as asking if they all loved him. The people below couldn't all be his fans, and if it were their true feelings, they definitely wouldn't respond so uniformly. But Su Jin really didn't dare take this risk, and even now he wasn't sure if the system had already detected his probing!
Her eyes sparkled for a moment, and Su Jin didn't continue thinking about the issue. She quickly said, "Alright, I won't say much about the first three items. Today, my main purpose is to talk about the Writing Club!"
