NOVPUBIn the impression of netizens, Wu Bin was still that brittle-skinned university student who would crumble at the slightest touch.
Therefore, they were very surprised that Wu Bin was able to subdue a knife-wielding robber as soon as he made a move.
After the police took the robbers away, the bus continued driving forward, but the looks the passengers gave Wu Bin had instantly changed.
The two young men who had acted together with him also received respect.
These two young men were well-built, clearly athletes of some sort.
They reached out their hands, smiling, and shook hands with Wu Bin.
"Fellow student, I didn’t expect you to be skilled too. Thanks to you for distracting them, we wouldn’t have been able to subdue the others otherwise," they said courteously.
Wu Bin simply nodded and did not intend to talk much with them.
Because what they said was right, Wu Bin directly confronted the knife-wielding robber while these two only assisted from the side, ambushing the attacker.
More importantly, these two didn’t act immediately but only intervened after seeing Wu Bin had the upper hand.
If Wu Bin hadn’t caught the wrist of that robber initially and had instead gotten stabbed in the stomach, the outcome would have definitely been different, and these two might not have chosen to help.
In other words, these two didn’t act out of sheer goodness at first, but decided to intervene after weighing the pros and cons and feeling certain they could win.
So, Wu Bin didn’t have a high opinion of them; while they indeed had a sense of justice, it was limited and not overly substantial.
Wu Bin didn’t want to interact with them, but they were quite interested in Wu Bin.
Even though Wu Bin wasn’t talking to them, somehow they still took the initiative to introduce themselves.
"Fellow student, we are from Modu Sports Institute. I am Chen Xiang, and this is Fei Jiemin. It looks like you’re also a university student from Modu, aren’t you? Which university do you attend?"
Wu Bin frowned. These two were overly familiar.
But as the saying goes, ’Don’t slap a smiling face,’ and since their behavior and introductions were still quite proper, Wu Bin thought about it and simply shared his identity.
Upon hearing Wu Bin’s words, Chen Xiang’s eyes immediately lit up.
"So you are Wu Bin! I’ve heard about you online!"
Fei Jiemin looked puzzled.
"Is he a major internet celebrity?"
Chen Xiang nodded repeatedly, explaining, "He’s the famous delicate-skinned university student from Agricultural University, Wang Hasan is very famous, and there are tens of millions of followers in his live streams. Speaking of which, you’re live streaming now, aren’t we on TV?"
It was apparent that Chen Xiang was very concerned about his image. Upon learning that He Bingbing was live streaming, he immediately started fixing his hair and clothes in front of her.
Fei Jiemin, on the other hand, seemed somewhat embarrassed and uneasy, nudging Chen Xiang with his elbow, evidently not wanting to continue appearing on camera.
This showed the stark contrast between their personalities.
Fei Jiemin didn’t want to have any interaction with a big internet celebrity like Wu Bin, because he felt they weren’t the same kind of people.
But Chen Xiang thought differently; he saw this as an opportunity for them to make it big.
This was a celebrity with tens of millions of followers!
Previously, they had no chance of getting noticed, but now that they had encountered him, how could Chen Xiang let go of such an opportunity?
Thinking this, Chen Xiang couldn’t contain his excitement any longer.
He said to Wu Bin, "Wu Bin, our school isn’t far from your Agricultural University, and since it’s still the holiday season, you probably don’t have much to do at school. Would you be interested in visiting our school?"
"We are currently hosting a National Martial Arts Tournament, it’s really fun. Would you like to come?"
Chen Xiang feared Wu Bin would refuse, so he continued, "Normally, we wouldn’t invite outsiders to watch this tournament, but if you want to come, I can talk to my coach, and you can even bring your friends. You might even live stream the event."
Chen Xiang deliberately made the National Martial Arts Tournament sound prestigious, but in reality, it was little known outside the circle, and most viewers in the live stream had never even heard of it.
The reason Chen Xiang invited Wu Bin and offered special treatment was to leverage Wu Bin’s influence to promote the tournament and even their school and himself.
What if it became a hit?
Wu Bin saw right through Chen Xiang’s intentions and responded indifferently, "Sorry, I’m not interested in any National Martial Arts Tournament."
Upon hearing Wu Bin’s refusal, Fei Jiemin breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Xiang was not yet dissuaded.
He continued, "Wu Bin, I can tell you must be a skilled martial artist too; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to subdue that man so cleanly and efficiently."
"As martial artists, we prefer straightforward dealings. Don’t be hesitant; just come to our event. I’ll cover all your expenses for food and accommodation. That should be fine, right?"
After saying this, Chen Xiang didn’t even wait for Wu Bin’s response but took out his phone in front of him and called their school’s leadership, claiming he had invited Wu Bin.
The teacher from the sports school, not understanding the situation, assumed Chen Xiang had really secured Wu Bin, the big internet celebrity, and immediately expressed on the phone that if Wu Bin was willing to come, their school would definitely welcome him warmly.
The leadership of the sports school also mentioned that they had a good relationship with President Xu, so if Wu Bin was willing to help promote their school, the sports meet would also gladly support Agricultural University in return.
With just one phone call, what started as a personal invitation turned into an official inter-school invitation.
Now, even out of respect for Xu Wenyao, Wu Bin couldn’t refuse.
The viewers in the live stream, witnessing this scene, began to discuss.
"This guy’s pretty clever, making one phone call and putting my bro Wu on the hot seat. Is this really the level of intelligence a sports student should have?"
"You probably don’t know, but just because sports students aren’t great academically doesn’t mean they’re actually brainless. They excel at networking and connecting, which is crucial; otherwise, why do you think our national soccer team performs so poorly? It’s not about your physical abilities on the field but rather how strong your connections are."
"Damn, are you really dragging our national balancers into this? What’s wrong with our national soccer team? Haven’t you heard of soccer diplomacy?"
