Wu Bin had once seen a saying online that truly capable people could immerse their emotions into something within an extremely short time.
At first, Wu Bin didn’t understand what it meant.
It wasn’t until now, as he watched Wang Xin take the oath, that he understood.
No matter what intentions the people around him had for attending the oath-taking ceremony, at least Wang Xin was serious.
He was emotionally charged, his voice fervent and impassioned during the oath, infecting even the group of leaders on the stage.
Vice Chancellor Zhou Tong smiled and applauded.
"Very good, very good, this is indeed the spirit our Agricultural University students should possess. President, I think that this year’s image ambassador for our Agricultural University should still be Wang Xin, Wu Bin is ultimately somewhat lacking."
Upon hearing Zhou Tong say this, Xu Wenyao just smiled.
While he was frantically competing for influence with other trustees, Zhou Tong had always been making sneaky moves behind the scenes, thinking that Xu Wenyao wouldn’t know.
Previously, Xu Wenyao had never known whose side Zhou Tong was really on, but now he had finally figured it out—Zhou Tong was from the Wang Family.
"Old Zhou, just giving a speech on stage has always been done, year after year, what can we really see from that?"
"Wu Bin has brought significant traffic to our school ever since he enrolled, and this year the number of registered users on our Agricultural University’s forum has already exceeded three hundred thousand, do you know what that means?"
"Three hundred thousand active users, even most popular forums don’t have that many people."
Xu Wenyao wasn’t exaggerating.
Wu Bin’s sudden popularity had already benefitted the Agricultural University in many ways.
Not only did it attract a lot of attention, but many people also expressed their intention to invest in the Agricultural University.
Xu Wenyao had secretly contacted these prospective investors.
After all, Zhou Tong and the others had large family funds supporting them behind the scenes, but Xu Wenyao did not.
Now, with the help of enthusiastic people from society, Xu Wenyao also had the confidence to challenge the powerful families backing Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong clearly had come with an agenda.
Seeing that Xu Wenyao disagreed with making Wang Xin the image ambassador, his attitude also cooled down.
"President Xu, our Agricultural University is still a well-known university in the Magic Capital, we can’t just disregard everything because of popularity, right?"
"Look at Wang Xin, he has always been doing practical things for the school, the annual oath ceremony is to encourage his juniors and motivate them, having a very good role model effect."
"Now look at Wu Bin, what has he contributed to our Agricultural University other than getting sick and being hospitalized?"
"I’m afraid Wu Bin might feel unworthy of being the image ambassador."
When Zhou Tong made this comment, many other leaders quickly agreed.
Xu Wenyao remembered all the followers in his heart.
Then Xu Wenyao countered, "Previously, it was only because Wu Bin hadn’t enrolled yet, so the oath ceremony was always read by Wang Xin. This year Wu Bin is also going to speak on stage, perhaps his performance could be better than Wang Xin’s?"
Zhou Tong scoffed, "That’s hardly likely, isn’t it? You mean Wu Bin could read with more emotion, more vigor than Wang Xin?"
Xu Wenyao smiled silently, merely turning his gaze towards Wu Bin.
...
Seated in the audience, Wu Bin had already activated the "Supreme Command" skill.
The system’s voice echoed in his mind.
[You have selected a target. Based on the current target’s condition, three possible diseases have been provided: cerebral infarction, convulsions, shock.]
[Please choose.]
Seeing the three options provided by the system, Wu Bin suddenly realized.
So this is what it meant to choose based on health conditions.
Right now, Wang Xin was emotionally charged, his whole being in an excited state.
Thus, these three diseases were the most likely to occur, which made sense.
Cerebral infarction was a bit too extreme. After all, he just wanted to teach Wang Xin a lesson, not really hoping for his death.
Wu Bin had to choose between convulsions and shock.
If he chose shock, and suddenly fainted while making his oath, the people around him would probably think Wang Xin was just too excited, which would actually endear him to them.
No, he could not do something that would help Wang Xin.
"Then, let’s go with the cramps."
Ding.
[Choice made by the host, cramp effect activated]
As the system notification sounded, Wang Xin, who was in the middle of the oath, suddenly felt something was off.
"Guard against pride and impatience, self-discipline, and self*yue!"
At this Wang Xin *yue, many juniors and sophomores below the stage couldn’t hold back any longer.
What was going on?
He choked up while making an oath?
Wang Xin also realized something was wrong; his throat muscles seemed to have a mind of their own as they began to tremble and spasm.
If Wang Xin could have rested for a while, maybe he could have alleviated the condition.
But unfortunately, he was the one leading the oath, so the only time he could rest was in the few seconds between sentences.
No, he had to persevere and finish reading!
Wang Xin felt he could suppress the strange sensation in his throat.
At this moment, his emotions became even more agitated.
Because he felt like he was experiencing déjà vu in his fight against the difficulty!
"Persist *yueyue! Never give up, never let go!"
"Surpass oneself! Ignite *yueyue!"
"With the shipping fee *yue! Do not uninstall the original god!"
Continuing on until the end, Wang Xin’s hands trembled, yet his gaze was frighteningly resolute.
Especially after he pronounced the last word, Wang Xin’s face even showed a very satisfied expression.
He thought he had overcome numerous difficulties and had managed to complete the oath, which was the coolest part!
However, the viewers in the live broadcast burst into laughter.
"This guy is way too into it, it’s hilarious, he even choked on his own oath."
"Don’t laugh, it’s just a loss of the right to choose a spouse for three years."
"Class teacher: Don’t mess it up, big brother."
"Look at the school leaders’ expressions, hahaha, they’re very complicated."
"Does the oath not suit your taste, classmate?"
"It’s not that it’s not to his taste, it’s that the vow has backfired."
"Students who didn’t memorize the script must be utterly confused, what’s this ’do not uninstall the original god’ about?"
On the presidium, Zhou Tong, who had just been singing Wang Xin’s praises, now had a very interesting expression.
While clapping, Xu Wenyao said with a laugh, "Zhou, you really have an eye for talent; he indeed is extraordinary."
Zhou Tong’s face looked extremely unhappy.
"President Xu, you flatter him. Making an oath in front of so many people, Wang Xin was bound to be nervous."
"It’s almost Wu Bin’s turn to come up, I really want to see if Wu Bin can perform better than Wang Xin."
The people around looked at Zhou Tong with sympathetic eyes.
That was definitely an attempt to salvage his dignity.
Given Wang Xin’s performance just now, it was destined to become a memorable scene at this oath-taking ceremony.
Even if Wu Bin simply stood on stage later and said nothing, there was no way he could embarrass himself more than Wang Xin.
