Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

The New York Times reporter finally couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Lu, are you kidding?"

Zhanbo said innocently, "How could that be? We're very rigorous in scientific research!" He pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Look, this is the formula I copied from my cousin's paper. It's absolutely scientific!"

When the reporters took a closer look, they saw a crooked Bagua diagram drawn on the paper, with the words "Ji Ji Ru Lv Ling" written in large letters next to it.

The scene fell into dead silence, and the barrage of comments became blank again!

Just when the reporters were shocked by Zhan Bo's "scientific explanation", a white but strong hand suddenly grabbed Lin Bufan's ear.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Lin Bufan turned his head with a grin and met Hu Yifei's murderous eyes.

"Lin Bufan!" Hu Yifei gritted her teeth and said, "Did you teach Zhanbo to do this?!"

While trying to save his ears, Lin Bufan pretended to be dumb and said, "Yifei, what are you talking about? Zhanbo performed very well, didn't he? Look how he frightened those reporters..."

"You're such a jerk!" Hu Yifei added a bit more strength to her grip. "Zhanbo was originally a nerd, and now you've taught him to talk nonsense. How will he find a partner in the future? How can I face the ancestors of my Hu family?!"

Qin Yumo saw Lin Bufan being bullied and immediately stood up. However, he did not dare to confront Hu Yifei directly, so he could only whisper a reminder: "But Zhanbo's surname is Lu, it seems that this has nothing to do with your Hu family, right?"

"If I say yes, then yes! His father has already married into our Hu family, so he is a member of our Hu family!"

Hu Yifei had just finished criticizing Qin Yumo when Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but express his own opinion: "Yifei, did you misunderstand Bufan? I think what Zhanbo said makes a lot of sense. Or, Yifei, are you just worshipping foreign things and don't believe in our traditional culture?"

As soon as Zeng Xiaoxian finished speaking, Hu Yifei gave him a death stare: "Zeng Xiaoxian! Are you itching for trouble?"

Zeng Xiaoxian immediately shrank his neck and hid behind Lu Ziqiao: "I was just joking..."

After sending Zeng Xiaoxian away, Hu Yifei looked at Lin Bufan again: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

Lin Bufan shrugged, looking innocent: "I'm helping Zhanbo develop his potential! Look how eloquent he is now..."

"Potential?!" Hu Yifei sneered: "You call this potential? Do you want me to help you develop your potential?" As she said that, she was about to use her signature skill, Flash.

Lin Bufan quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, no! Sister Yifei, I was wrong! I'll go and replace Zhanbo right now!"

"It's too late!" Hu Yifei let go of his hand and pointed at Zhan Bo, who was still talking nonstop on the stage. She said somewhat dejectedly, "Now he's even brought up the story of Nuwa mending the sky. How am I going to explain this to my relatives? That there's a psychopathic scientist in my family?"

"Yifei, you don't understand this!" Lu Ziqiao adjusted his tie and said seriously, "How charming is Zhan Bo now? Look at those female reporters in the audience, their eyes are wide open!"

Hu Yifei turned her head suspiciously and looked at the audience, and sure enough, she found that several female reporters were staring at Zhan Bo intently, and some even took out their mobile phones to secretly take pictures.

"This..." Hu Yifei was speechless for a moment.

"Yifei!" Lu Ziqiao patted Hu Yifei's shoulder earnestly, "Girls nowadays like men with imagination. Look at Zhan Bo, he can explain quantum mechanics and Taoist philosophy so fluently. What a talent!"

Tang Youyou also came over to help out: "That's right! Sister Yifei, Zhanbo used to be too honest, but now he's so cute! I just heard a female reporter say he's so cute!"

Hu Yifei frowned, still unable to accept it: "But..."

"No buts!" Lu Ziqiao waved his hand and said firmly, "I, Lu Xiaobu, have been in the love world for so many years, how could I be wrong? Zhanbo is now a walking hormone!"

As if to confirm Lu Ziqiao's words, a bespectacled female reporter in the audience suddenly raised her hand and shouted, "Dr. Lu! Can I add you on WeChat? I'd like to ask about the relationship between quantum entanglement and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams!"

Zhan Bo's eyes flashed with a desire for academics. He didn't notice the special look flashing in the female reporter's eyes at all. Instead, he took out a stack of crumpled draft paper from his pocket in a serious manner.

"Look here..." Zhan Bo excitedly pointed at the scribbled formula on the paper. "This is the quantum tunneling effect my cousin deduced using the Book of Changes. This Qian Gua symbol actually represents the phenomenon of quark confinement..."

The female reporter's mouth twitched, and she forced a smile as she leaned forward. "Dr. Lu, I'd actually like to ask you in private..."

"No need for private conversation! I can explain it right now!" Zhanbo didn't get the hint at all. Instead, he became even more excited and grabbed the microphone: "Everyone knows Schrödinger's cat, right? Actually, this experiment is similar to the hamster experiment my cousin raises..."

Hu Yifei held her forehead and sighed, "It's over. This child is beyond saving."

On stage, after a period of adjustment, Zhan Bo had completely settled into his groove. He didn't even need the reporters to ask him questions; he just started talking. "...So our mecha is actually a time machine! As long as you stand in the Qian position of the Bagua formation and chant a spell, you can travel back to the Tang Dynasty to meet Yang Guifei..."

An elderly reporter from Science magazine was so angered by Zhan Bo that he fainted and was then carried away by staff.

Hu Yifei held her forehead with her hand: "It's over, there's no hope now..."

Lin Bufan quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Yifei! This shows that Zhanbo has the talent to be a science fiction writer! How about I invest in him and start a column? Let's call it 'Dr. Lu's Fantasy Laboratory'?"

"Get out!" Hu Yifei kicked Lin Bufan on the butt: "Hurry and get him down!"

Lin Bufan rubbed his butt and ran up to the stage dejectedly. He put his arm around Zhanbo's shoulders and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lu, for your wonderful explanation! Now, let's welcome our mecha for the final performance!"

Zhan Bo said with lingering interest, "I haven't even talked about how to use the I Ching to deduce trajectory..."

Lin Bufan quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Brother, Hu Yifei is sharpening his knife in the audience. For your own safety, retreat immediately!"

When Zhan Bo heard the name "Hu Yifei", he shuddered and walked off the stage obediently.

Lin Bufan stood under the spotlight again and cleared his throat. "Everyone, I believe you have gained a preliminary understanding of our mecha. Finally, let us end tonight's press conference with a magnificent fireworks show!"

As Lin Bufan finished speaking, the mecha took off again, the metal wings behind it fully spread out, and the fireworks array on the ground was ignited at the same time. The mecha made its final farewell gesture in the fireworks.

"Thank you all for coming! Xiaobaizi Technology will continue to promote the advancement of human technology! See you at the next press conference!"

The whole audience burst into thunderous applause, and the flash lights flashed again.
