Global Dungeon: My Support Is Too Strong

455 Outside Trial

The meeting room was in full swing.

One side thought that Lu Benwei had to leave Yanjing Hunter University, or they would lose face. The other side thought that Lu Benwei could not leave, otherwise, they would lose face too.

The two sides quarreled for a full five minutes over the embarrassment!

“Enough! Don’t quarrel!” Chu Bowen finally could not stand it anymore.

“Principal Chu, do you have any brilliant ideas?” Someone was very dissatisfied.

Chu Bowen let out a breath and said, “The reason why Lu Benwei is the focus is because our students keep provoking him. There’s nothing much to say about this matter.”

“But Lu Benwei never did anything, but when he made a move, he attracted wave after wave of people. Our students are eager to protect the school and win back face for the school.”

“There’s nothing to say. With Lu Benwei here, our students can be encouraged.”

“But they’re all afraid of conflicts erupting, irreconcilable differences, and brewing a big disaster. I also know this…”

“In that case, why don’t you let Lu Benwei go out alone?”

Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

If he let Lu Benwei go out alone, the students at Yanjing Hunter University would naturally not be able to find trouble with him.

They did not need to stay here in fear.

…

The next morning.

Chu Bowen found Lu Benwei.

“Lu Benwei, are you used to the life at Yanjing Hunter University?”

Lu Benwei thought for a while and replied, “I’m alright, but I don’t get along well with my classmates.”

Chu Bowen’s mouth twitched, but he smiled again. “Is that so?”

“If my students offend you, I hope you can forgive them.”

“Sure!”

Lu Benwei readily agreed.

Chu Bowen’s office was huge. Apart from the wall at the door, the remaining three walls had bookshelves made of mahogany.

The entire office was filled with the smell of ink. In the corner of the south wall, there was a glass door that led to the sunroom.

It was early spring, and the morning glory vines on the vine rack in the sunroom had grown tender green new shoots.

The sun was shining, and the room was warm.

On Chu Bowen’s desk, the coffee pot was bubbling with steam.

Chu Bowen laughed heartily when he saw Lu Benwei looking around.

“Drink some?” As he spoke, Chu Bowen removed the coffee pot. He took out a filter, and the brown-black liquid flowed down the glass pen.

“Do you want more milk?” Chu Bowen asked.

Lu Benwei nodded. Chu Bowen took out a new ceramic cup and poured some fresh milk into it. He mixed it with the dark brown liquid, creating a new color.

“Here, be careful. It’s hot.”

Chu Bowen handed it to Lu Benwei and even added a sugar cube.

Lu Benwei took a sip.

This was his first time drinking coffee, and the bitter and sour taste made him frown. Fortunately, the rich fragrance of the milk neutralized the sour and bitter taste in his mouth, and he resisted the urge to vomit.

“How is it? Is it good?” Chu Bowen asked.

Lu Benwei savored the taste. “It’s okay. The taste is amazing. Although I think it’s bad, I still want to drink a second mouthful.”

“Not bad,” Chu Bowen laughed heartily. “It seems like you’ve understood the true meaning of life.”

Lu Benwei looked at him in confusion.

Chu Bowen stroked his white beard. “Life is hard, but you have to finish it. But after walking to the end, is it still bitter or sweet?”

Lu Benwei was slightly stunned. Was Chu Bowen’s life hard? He did not know.

However, compared to Chen Yuan, Chu Bowen was much happier.

There was a large office with a mahogany bookcase and desk that were low-key and luxurious.

There was also a large sunroom. On a winter afternoon, he would lie on the sofa with a small blanket over him. It was very comfortable.

As for Chen Yuan, his office was as messy as a warehouse, and there was not even a place to sleep.

Lu Benwei was more and more confused. What did Chu Bowen want with him? Was he just going to discuss the true meaning of life with him?

“Lu Benwei, do you want to go out alone? Can you help me find the answer to life?” Chu Bowen suddenly asked.

Lu Benwei was stunned for a moment and thought, ‘I’m afraid this isn’t good?’

According to the rules, exchange students were not allowed to leave the city of the exchange school.

Then, Chu Bowen said indifferently, “That’s fine. I’m the principal of a school. I still have this bit of power.”

Lu Benwei heard this and let out a breath.

“Principal Chu, please let me think about it.”

Chu Bowen hesitated for a moment before sighing. “Then hurry up. I might change my mind by then.”

“Alright!” Lu Benwei answered, put down the cup, and left the office.

...

…

“You want to go out and gain experience?”

Chu Yan was making a fuss in her seat.

It was lunchtime, so Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, and Gan Yan gathered.

With a mouthful of rice in his mouth, Gan Yan mumbled, “In my opinion, since Principal Chu has spoken, you don’t need to be afraid of the rules. Two months is enough for you to destroy the Dragon Kingdom.”

Lu Benwei sighed. “It’s an experience trip, not a national tour.”

Chu Yan was a little dissatisfied. “Why did you go out for training?” she asked.

Lu Benwei shook his head. “I don’t know. At first, he asked me if I’m used to staying here. Then he told me that life is like coffee, and then he asked me to go out and gain experience.”

Chu Yan was confused, and her eyes were seeing stars.

“That old man is really mysterious.”

It was also at this moment that Gan Yan burst into laughter, unable to even straighten his back.

...

“What’s wrong?” Chu Yan rolled her eyes and said in an annoyed tone, “Is it funny that we don’t understand what you’re saying?”

“No, no!” Gan Yan said, waving his hand.

“What’s that? Tell me!” Chu Yan urged.

“I just want to say that Principal Chu has really put in a lot of effort to prevent the reputation of Yanjing Hunter University from being damaged.”

“What does this have to do with Yanjing Hunter University’s reputation?”

Gan Yan pursed his lips, wiped the oil from his mouth, and said, “Of course, it’s the students of Yanjing Hunter University. They formed an alliance to teach Lu Benwei a lesson. But apart from the arena, where can a student beat Lu Benwei? I’m afraid they can’t beat him even if they work together. So many of us are fighting one person and we still can’t beat him. How can Yanjing Hunter University not lose face?”

After a pause, Gan Yan continued, “I can’t beat him, so I can only ask Lu Benwei to leave Yanjing Hunter University.”

Lu Benwei finally understood.

“So, you’re saying that your previous coffee life was just a lie?” Chu Yan also understood.
