Chapter 274: When Will You Be Back? I’ll Pick You Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a day, the most talked about topic in the entire Imperial University was Chu Luo and the robot following behind her.
Chu Luo didn’t care what others said in private.
After the last lesson, she had just walked out of the classroom when she received a call from Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi asked, “Junior Chu, did you go back and look at the electronic form I sent you?”
Chu Luo replied bluntly, “No time to look.”

Nangong Yi was obviously choked by her words. After a few seconds, he said, “You have time to look at it tonight, right?”
“Not necessarily.” Tonight, after she returned, she had to go to the laboratory to do three hours of experiments. She also had to find Li Yan to teach her a foreign language for an hour. How would she have time?
Nangong Yi said in an I-knew-you-would-say-that tone, “Alright. If you really don’t have time, I can help you.”
Chu Luo had already walked out of the school building and was about to go to the parking lot when she asked, “Help with what?”
“Help you fill in the application,” Nangong Yi said. “Junior Chu, you’re the first person I’ve met who cares least about joining the Imperial University Student Union.”
Chu Luo was straightforward. “If it weren’t for the fact that the Student Union has the right to watch university professors from other countries teach online at any time, I wouldn’t even want to join.”
When Nangong Yi heard this, not only was he not angry, but he also chuckled. After laughing, he reminded her, “Not everyone can watch other countries’ university professors teaching online just by joining the Student Union. Only the president of the Student Union is qualified.”
Chu Luo said, “Isn’t that the same?”
Nangong Yi: “How is it the same? Not everyone can be the president of the Student Union.”
Chu Luo had already reached the parking spot. She took out her school card and swiped it on the card reader before saying, “I know. We have to get 80% of the Student Union’s support. At the same time, we have to let the entire school vote.”
Nangong Yi: “Mm, as long as you remember this matter.”
Chu Luo replied, “I won’t forget.”
She then said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
Nangong Yi: “Wait.”
Chu Luo stopped.
Nangong Yi: “Junior, there will be a group of foreign Student Union members coming to our school to study for half a month. You can take some time to receive them with the Liaison Department.”
Chu Luo thought for a while. In half a month, she would have already finished learning the few foreign language classes she had chosen for this semester. It would be just enough to test her speaking ability. She said, “Sure.”
Only then did Nangong Yi bid her farewell in satisfaction.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo got on her bike and rode out of the school.
Not long after she rode out, a history teacher stopped her.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo stopped and turned around. “Professor Yang, what’s the matter?”
Professor Yang was also riding a bike. When he reached her side, he smiled and said, “I heard that you don’t usually attend evening self-study?”
“Yes.”
“I’m about to go to the Archaeology Department to get some information. This information will be helpful for your history studies. Why don’t you come with me? You can bring the information back and return it to me after reading it.”
“Okay.”
Chu Luo followed Professor Yang to the Archaeology Department.
It was dinner time. The students from the Archaeology Department had already gone out to eat. Only a few professors who had yet to leave were chatting in the courtyard.
When the two of them walked in, they happened to hear an excited teacher say, “I heard that the geological exploration team found an ancient tomb under the ruins of the legendary Ancient Capital of Loulan. Professor Peng, will our Imperial University’s Archaeology Department send people along?”
Then, an older person replied, “If the news is correct, we will definitely send people over. If it’s really the legendary ancient tomb, the archaeological value will be immeasurable.”
“Didn’t we hear that there’s a sinister door in that ancient tomb? Will it be dangerous for us to go there?”
“The country will definitely send people to protect us. We just have to follow the national team.”
“That’s right. Which ancient tomb isn’t dangerous? If we really can’t go down, we can study it from the periphery.”
Chu Luo and Professor Yang had already walked up to them.
Only then did they stop and look over.
“Professor Yang is here.”
“This must be Chu Luo?”
“Student Chu enrolled in so many specializations. Why didn’t you enroll in our Archeology Department?”
The professors were obviously very easygoing. As they spoke, they started joking.
Professor Yang smiled and introduced them to Chu Luo. “This is Professor Peng, this is Professor Situ, this is Professor Li, and this is Professor Chen.”
Chu Luo greeted them and Professor Yang started talking about serious matters.
Professor Chen gave Professor Yang the information he wanted and everyone walked out of the door.
As Chu Luo left, she casually asked, “Professors, are you talking about the magical ancient tomb that was rumored to exist 18 years ago?”
The professors were a little surprised.
“Student Chu seems to be very familiar with this.”
“A little.” Chu Luo nodded. “My family used to be in the antique business. I heard a fair bit about such stuff.”
“I see,” Professor Peng said. “I’m not sure for now. I’ll have to wait for the news to be confirmed before I know.”
Chu Luo nodded and changed the topic.
As they spoke, they walked out of the Archaeology Department. Chu Luo planned to leave the school. After saying goodbye to them, she left on a bike with Roundy.
After having a meal, she went to the laboratory.
When Elder Hu saw Chu Luo coming, he quickly stopped her. “Little Chu, don’t be in a hurry to change your clothes.”
After saying that, he walked out of the laboratory and said to her happily, “I’ll take you to see the herbs.”
Chu Luo nodded. After Elder Hu took off his lab coat and put it away, the two of them walked out.
When they reached the backyard, she saw that the herbs were growing well and had revealed sharp horns. At this moment, an arm-long herb swaying in the evening wind caught her eye.
The two of them walked up to the cluster of herbs. Elder Hu pointed at them and said happily, “Little Chu, look. These herbs grow so quickly.”
Chu Luo squatted down to look at the herbs.
Elder Hu continued, “Isn’t it too incredible? This kind of herb usually doesn’t germinate until two months later.”
Chu Luo looked around and realized that there was a ginseng seed planted beside her. Moreover, a faint fluorescence was emanating from the soil.
Chu Luo seemed to have sensed something and her eyes lit up. She stood up and said to Elder Hu, “Elder Hu, I know how to make these herbs grow quickly.”
“Child, aren’t you spouting nonsense?”
“Hehe, I’m not spouting nonsense.”
Chu Luo was about to walk out of the courtyard when Elder Hu quickly asked, “Little Chu, what are you trying to do?”
Chu Luo said as she ran, “I’ll… call CEO Li.”
After saying that, she walked out.
Elder Hu shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh. “Young people are really energetic.”
Chu Luo ran back to her villa. The butler, who was instructing the servants to water the roses, was a little surprised to see her.
“Miss Chu.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and ran back to the villa.
Li Yan came back to eat with her today. When Chu Luo went to the villa at the back, he went to the study upstairs to work.
Chu Luo ran to the study door before stopping. She knocked on the door first and pushed it open after receiving a response.
Li Yan was obviously having a video conference. Once he saw her, he said to the person on the other end of the video call, “Rest for ten minutes.”
After saying that, he turned off the video and sat there looking at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo strode to his side.
“Yan, I’ve discovered that the array I set up can promote the growth of herbs.”
Li Yan looked at her sparkling eyes and flushed face as she said this. He reached out to pull her into his arms and said, “Tell me in detail.”
Chu Luo nodded at him. “I found out that the array I set up can gather energy. This kind of energy can be used to nourish especially precious herbs. When their energy is released, it can also promote the growth of other herbs.”
“What are these herbs you’re talking about? I’ll get someone to look for them immediately.”
“Ginseng, lingzhi, Tianshan Snow Lotus…”
Chu Luo named more than ten herbs in a row.
Li Yan nodded and picked up his phone to order people to look for these herbs.
Chu Luo held his hand and added, “You can find more of each.”
Li Yan said to the person on the other end, “Do it immediately.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at Chu Luo.
With a smile in her eyes, Chu Luo intended to jump out of his arms. “Then I’ll continue with the experiment.”
Li Yan didn’t let go of her. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips before asking, “When are you coming back tonight? I’ll come and pick you up then.”
Chu Luo giggled and said, “It’s just a short distance.” At this point, she changed the topic. “Ten-thirty.”
After saying that, she wrapped her arms around his neck and rubbed her cheek against his. She smiled and said, “Come and pick me up. You can teach me how to speak foreign languages.”
Li Yan rubbed his palm on her waist and let go of her.
Chu Luo went to the villa at the back.
