British writer

George Bernard Shaw kept his word, and he did not invite Lu Shi to create plays in the next few days.

Lu Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He devoted all his time and energy to Guns, Germs, and Steel, finishing the final chapters in early December.

Meanwhile, the time for lectures to LSE students has finally arrived.

...

early morning,

London School of Economics and Political Science,

In front of the school gate.

Nikati Nikolic rushed to the school by bicycle, and found that the school gate was full of people, including many new faces.

He elbowed his way into the crowd,

"Give way! Let's all make way!"

No one paid him any attention.

The crowd is like a lump of dense mercury, which seems to be flowing, but has no chance to see the needles at all.

Nikolic made several charges without success.

At this moment, Thierry Solomon's voice came from the crowd: "Nigati, why are you here now!? Professor Lu's lecture is about to start!"

Nikolic swears: "I'm from Tower Bridge!"

Since the Tower Bridge was built, there has been a time limit for its opening, and it cannot be passed at any time.

Moreover, the Tower Bridge often has some inexplicable failures, such as raising it to allow ships to pass, but not letting it go down, causing traffic interruptions. There are always three or four times a month.

Solomon laughed,

"I'll pick you up!"

He made his way through the crowd to join Nikolic, and squeezed together towards the gate.

There were discussions all around the two of them.

"Is it really that Lu?"

"It should be! I saw the photo in the "Manchester Guardian". Lu is a Chinese, and the Lu who is going to speak at the London Economics and Political Sciences today is also a Chinese."

"I heard that Lu's real name is Ruth. Isn't that a girl's name?"

"No, it should be Lu - Zhi -, you idiot, you can't pronounce your Chinese name well."

...

There was a commotion.

Only then did Nikolic realize what the crowd was here for, and asked Solomon, "Our school doesn't care?"

There was so much noise around that Solomon couldn't hear,

"What did you say?"

Nikolic had no choice but to repeat at the top of his voice: "I just asked, why doesn't our school care about it?"

Solomon rolled his eyes.

"Did you forget that our school is now a member of the University of London Union? Among these people, there are UCL, Royal Holloway, College of Arts and Entertainment, and even King's College. "

Nikolic was taken aback,

"The College of Crafts and Recreation in the Union of London Universities?"

Solomon was questioned,

"not here?"

"Are you there?"

The two looked at each other.

Then they said in unison:

"There are people from the Academy of Crafts and Entertainment here, so you can't enter!"

"There are people from the Academy of Crafts and Entertainment here, so you can't enter!"

For a moment, the crowd was quiet for a while, and then they all shifted their targets, focusing on the output of the people from the School of Crafts and Entertainment, trying to drive them out.

The pressure on Solomon and Nikolic suddenly eased a lot, and they went through the crowd flexibly.

The two finally entered the school and let out a sigh of relief.

"Hoo~"

Solomon said: "Originally, Professor Lu's lecture was arranged indoors, but there were too many people who came, so we had to change it to the central square."

Nikolic nodded and said, "It's expected."

The two continued to walk forward.

The closer to the central square, the more people,

But the strange thing is that the students can keep the volume up instead, and the communication is also whispering.

Nikolic asked in a low voice, "Have you prepared any questions?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper full of words and shook it in front of Solomon.

Solomon took a closer look and found that the paper was full of questions:

1. Pigs, cows, sheep, and horses are mentioned in the article. So, is fish a domesticated animal? Is it necessary to domesticate fish?

2. Is the long-term doom theory true?

3. Are germs the root cause of Indian genocide?

...

A total of nineteen articles.

This is too serious!

Solomon couldn't help but chuckled, pointed to his temple, and said, "All my problems are here~"

Nikolic went up and punched the opponent,

"Pack!"

At this moment, the teachers of the school came to the square to maintain order.

The students gradually stand in line.

Bernard Shaw stood under the statue of the Queen, slightly raising his hands.

The scene was instantly quiet.

Bernard Shaw nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Today, thanks to the efforts of many parties, especially Sir Wodehouse, we are honored to have the founder of the new historiography——Lu, that is, Professor Lu Shi, to give us a lecture."

As soon as I said this, there was warm applause from below.

Bernard Shaw raised his hand again to signal.

The applause stopped abruptly.

George Bernard Shaw continued: "The opportunity is rare. I hope that the students will listen carefully and think deeply."

As he spoke, Bernard Shaw nodded to the side,

"Professor Lu, please start the lecture."

clap clap -

applause.

It was very enthusiastic at first, but when Lu Shi himself appeared, it gradually became sparse.

Nikolic said in a low voice: "Although I knew that Mr. Lu was young, but...he is too young, right? Younger than the photos in the newspaper!"

Solomon complained: "What can you tell from the few blurred photos in the Manchester Guardian?"

Not only them, everyone was surprised.

Although the students know that Lu Shi is an international student, there are many types of international students.

Just like Natsume Soseki,

Born in 1867, studied abroad in 1900, 34 years old.

Moreover, such examples are very common among East Asian students studying abroad, so at first everyone thought that Lu Shide was a scholar in his forties.

But now, how do you look like a young man in his twenties?

Discussions gradually arose.

Lu Shi coughed,

"Cough... Everyone, I know what you are thinking. In fact, I have the same question myself. Why did Mr. School Supervisor invite me to be this Lao Shizi's guest lecturer? I am still so young..."

The students below roared with laughter.

Lu Shi spread his hands,

"In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, my article can be published in "Manchester Guardian", which will allow "Manchester Guardian" to quickly open overseas markets."

Saying that, Lu Shi stretched out a finger,

"I'll say a number, 7391."

Puzzled, the students looked at each other.

Lu Shi continued: "This number is the increase in overseas sales of "Manchester Guardian" after it published my article. Moreover, the reason why this number is only over 7,000 is because "Manchester Guardian" has overseas sales. Delivery is limited."

Bernard Shaw couldn't help frowning,

"What exactly does Mr. Lu want to do?"

Qi Lun on the side was also puzzled, and said: "The students hate authority the most. Wouldn't it be counterproductive to talk about the sales of newspapers?"

Sure enough, someone fired a cannon towards Lu Shi,

"You mean, because your article sold well enough, you're correct?"

Lu Shi shook his head and said, "No, no, no. Newspaper sales just make me qualified to stand here. If you still can't understand, then you might as well change your perspective and think about why you can't stand in my position? "

This can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

For a time, the crowd was excited.
