Chapter 321: Chapter 167: Checking into the Hotel_2

Communicate with them about this matter, and prepare ahead to welcome the Pathfinder from the Celestial Master’s Mansion.

That evening, after concluding the midday security affairs meeting, Song Xiangdong hurriedly convened an emergency meeting about online public opinion.

This meeting was held in the hall, with all seats occupied.

A huge screen connected the internet police and public relations departments nationwide.

Each participant was the highest-ranking member of the regional public opinion control department, qualified to attend this meeting.

There was only one host, Song Xiangdong.

The atmosphere was serious, and before the meeting started, all attendees signed an S-level confidentiality agreement before being allowed to enter and join the video conference.

Song Xiangdong briefly introduced the main content to everyone.

There was widespread online propaganda about the Celestial Master’s Mansion experiencing an earthquake, the collapse of stone statues, and the emergence of Immortals, which could easily cause cognitive disruption and mislead the public, requiring nationwide intervention.

The meeting lasted more than three hours, discussing dozens of plans and issues.

It was not until the early morning, around one o’clock, that the meeting adjourned.

The adjournment marked the beginning of the intervention in public opinion.

The process started quietly, with the intervention taking place during the deep night without public awareness.

Ordinary citizens only noticed after waking up the next morning.

"Huh? Where’s yesterday’s front-page headline?"

"What’s happening? Where are the discussions about the Celestial Master’s Mansion on major forums?"

"Last night, everyone was rushing to report, major influencers were speaking, but this morning there’s no trace anymore?"

"Holy crap, there’s not a single piece of information about the Celestial Master’s Mansion online!"

"You can only find historical data when searching online!"

"Could we have remembered incorrectly?"

"Look, the official account of the Celestial Master’s Mansion has issued a statement!"

"The demolition and upgrade of the central stone statue at the Celestial Master’s Mansion triggered a misunderstanding, please do not further spread the misinformation. The public should not panic. After the renovation, visitors are still welcome to climb and visit Dragon Tiger Mountain, but the mountain is temporarily closed before completion. If...

An official notice was published through the Celestial Master’s Mansion’s public account.

The entire network received the announcement instantly.

It quickly became a hot topic again, but this time it was for clarification rather than sensational speculation.

"No wonder those messages disappeared in one night."

"I figured, those earlier videos didn’t have any official certification and were spread without proper investigation, causing so much impact! Damn those eyeball-grabbing paparazzi!"

"I agree with the above statement. Many platforms will do anything for traffic, but true or false, it can only serve as a reference and can’t be entirely believed or completely disbelieved!"

"Yes, we should trust the official statement from the Celestial Master’s Mansion. Whether it’s true or false, they’re trying to protect us ordinary people."

The online discussions led to widespread debate, with both sides holding their views, unlike the previous one-sided situation, gradually diminishing the topic’s heat.

...

...

At Atlantis, halfway up the mountain.

After an hour of waiting, a brand-new bus ascended from the base of the mountain.

Three other ambulances followed closely behind, arriving in front of the group.

The driver, Xiao Hei, and a few slightly injured students were placed in the ambulances, while the rest boarded the bus.

Though everyone was still shaken by the earlier incident, the new bus had passed the steep slope and was now on flatter terrain, allowing their nerves to relax.

This time, the bus drove directly to the Atlantis Grand Hotel, which, though not five-star, was still a four-star establishment.

Its proximity to Atlantis University was its main advantage, just a few minutes’ walk away, which is why Hao Jianhua chose to stay there.

"Rooms can be single or double, freely combined."

"Send me the list of double rooms; the rest will default to single rooms."

"I must emphasize, you can only stay in Block F. Regardless of whether you have cash, you cannot stay on other floors alone, as Block F provides security protection from Atlantis University’s affairs department."

After getting off the bus, Hao Jianhua instructed the group and followed another school leader, leading the students into the hotel.

The students were excited, the day’s unpleasant events had vanished.

Surprisingly, they were not assigned to four-person rooms in the dormitory area but to single rooms in a four-star hotel, which astonished them.

The entire block F was booked for them.

They immediately submitted their lodging preferences.

Hao Jianhua’s assistant soon arranged all the lodging information.

By the time they arrived at the hotel, it was already late, so there were no activities planned for that night, and everyone retreated to their rooms.

Lin Beichen did the same, his room was 204, the fourth room on the second floor.

As he approached his room and prepared to open the door, he discovered An Xiaoran was next door in 205, while Hao Jianhua was in 203.

Lin Beichen smirked coldly, the coincidences were truly uncanny, surrounded on all sides.

Without thinking much, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The room was quite spacious, featuring a large 2.2-meter bed, a floor-to-ceiling window by the bed, with a balcony outside the window equipped with a chair that could be rocked on.

Additionally, there were common domestic furnishings like a TV, fridge, air conditioner, wardrobe, etc. ... the overall style was quite familiar.

He put down his backpack and opted to freshen up first.

After the vehicle overturned in the afternoon, he had accumulated some dust on his body.

After the shower, Lin Beichen took out a book on human electrification and tried to annotate it with his understanding, making it easier to compile in the future.

Regarding the topic for this academic exchange, Lin Beichen hadn’t prepared anything.

Unlike other students who had prepared dozens of topics and several gigabytes of material, aiming to enhance academic understanding.

Lin Beichen, on the other hand, was only interested in exploring new energy elements, not in exchanging academic topics, so he hadn’t prepared at all.

If he were forced to participate in the exchange, Lin Beichen thought he might as well use this book to discuss human electrification.

Ding-dong, ding-dong!

Ding-dong!

Ding-dong!

Just as Lin Beichen had written a few annotations, the doorbell rang.

Through the peephole, he saw a waiter with a dining cart, and his stomach growled uncontrollably.

After a long day of travel, he was indeed hungry.

He opened the door, and the waiter skillfully and politely placed the dishes on the table and then left.

As Lin Beichen closed the door, he glanced down the hallway and saw four or five waiters pushing dining carts, delivering food to each room.

The delicious aroma filled the hallway, and Lin Beichen’s stomach growled again. He didn’t think much of it and returned to the table.

He lifted the dining cover to reveal an entire roast duck from the Imperial Capital!

Accompanied by several sauces, a glass of red wine, a small bowl of rice, and a plate of fruit.

"Principal Hao really thought this through, worrying about us not liking the food by arranging dishes from the Imperial Capital. Nice, thumbs up!"

Lin Beichen commented, feeling famished, he tore off a whole duck leg, dipped it in the sauce, and took a bite.

"Hmm, the flavor is so authentic it’s almost surreal; is this really Atlantis?"

Quickly finished the duck leg and sipped some red wine.

The wine was not strong, slightly sweet, almost like juice with a hint of alcohol, classified as a sweet wine.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

"Could there be more dishes coming?"

Lin Beichen wondered, putting down the wine glass and wiping his hands with a napkin before going to open the door.

But it wasn’t the waiter, it was An Xiaoran.

"I got some anti-inflammatory alcohol and cotton swabs from the front desk. The bite mark on your shoulder... let me help you apply them!"

"Just give them to me, I’ll do it myself."

Lin Beichen declined, worried about causing misunderstandings late at night.

"Wait, can I come in and talk to you?"

"Today on the bus, I saw a beam of light shoot out from your palm."
