Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 669: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (18)
Chapter 669: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (18)
After Luo Ning had recovered her spiritual power, she went out for a while, but it still took a toll and left her feeling very tired.
So she went to bed and had a good sleep.
The next day, after having breakfast with her grandfather, she drove to Imperial College.
Father Luo had returned to the Border Star to station ten days ago.
Luo Ning appeared in the schoolyard wearing the Imperial College military uniform, attracting quite a bit of attention.
Many people were also messaging on their terminals, telling those they knew about it.
"Luo Ning has really returned to school."
"Her spiritual power is said to be severely damaged. Can she keep up with her studies?"
"That, I don’t know, but even if her spiritual power is severely hurt, she should still be stronger than most students, right?"
"That’s for sure, after all, her physical quality is Double S-level."
"It’s just unknown if Luo Ning can still pilot a Mecha."
"Let’s wait and see."
Luo Ning first went back to her single apartment to rest for a while before getting up and heading to the classroom.
As soon as she showed up in the Mecha manufacturing classroom, all eyes were drawn to her.
Luo Ning walked in confidently and sat down with grace.
Many people wanted to come forward to greet her, but the instructor walked in right after.
He first expressed a warm welcome to Luo Ning’s return to school, and then he started the class.
Luo Ning listened to the lesson seriously and even took notes, causing a lot of people to be greatly surprised.
They sighed, acknowledging that a top student is indeed a top student. Even with damaged spiritual power, she could still return to school and study earnestly, which is more than most could manage.
After class, Gong Shengjia blocked Luo Ning just as she was walking out of the classroom.
With a smile on her face like there was no barrier between them, she greeted, "Luo Ning, you’re back in class."
This scene made many who were about to leave stop in their tracks and sneak peeks at the two of them.
Luo Ning asked expressionlessly, "I’m not familiar with you. Is there something you want?"
Gong Shengjia: "..." Luo Ning was so heartless. She had already apologized; what more did she want?
Yet, when she thought about the past half month, it drove her crazy.
Once Luo Ning declared their friendship over, people who used to be close to her all distanced themselves.
Her family, upon hearing the news, not only stopped pampering her but also started mocking and sneering at her, saying she was foolish to give up such a big backer for money.
Even her father came home specifically to scold her.
On the school forum, she was harshly criticized and even labeled a traitor.
Luo Ning had even notified the school to cancel all the special privileges she once had.
She could no longer use the school’s advanced training rooms for free; the S-level Mecha was taken back by the school.
She couldn’t even enter the S-area of the library anymore.
Even resources that were only available to first-class and top-tier Nobles, which she previously had access to, were no longer accessible to her.
Her learning resources were now the same as those specially admitted students, or even worse.
After all, as long as one ranked in the top ten of their grade, they could use many places and resources not open to the entire school.
However, her results had always been just above average; she couldn’t compete on her own.
Used to so many privileges, the sudden cancellation left her unable to cope, and she felt terribly upset.
So, seeing Luo Ning back at school, she was actually very happy and had already thought about how to restore their friendship.
This time, she wouldn’t listen to Leng Ying’s instigation to betray Luo Ning for money again.
Only after losing did she realize that what she gained could not be compared to money.
The resources of the Imperial College and the military were not something money could buy, representing a chasm created by family background that could not be crossed.
Although unhappy with Luo Ning being so cold, her smile remained unchanged, "I want to explain, can we go sit in a café alone?"
Luo Ning coldly said, "There’s nothing to talk about between you and me. You don’t need to explain anymore."
"I’m not interested in wasting time by going to a café alone with you."
"People should have some self-awareness."
"Many things, once lost, can never be regained," she said. "There’s no point in struggling anymore."
She could clearly see Gong Shengjia’s regret, but could regret ever make up for the harm done? No.
What were they thinking earlier?
She was too lazy to waste any more time on this and walked away after speaking.
Gong Shengjia wanted to reach out to Luo Ning but was blocked by several people with dyed hair.
"Freak, Luo Ning has said, one must have self-awareness, can’t you stop being so shameless and clingy?"
"Exactly, you’re officially known as an ingrate on the forum. Do you think Luo Ning is so foolish as to forgive you again?"
"I’m warning you, if we see you harassing Luo Ning again, we’ll show you what’s what."
"Don’t even think about having a good time at school. Your family will suffer too."
"If you don’t believe it, just try us."
These people were Bo Xiao’s minions, sent by Bo Xiao to keep an eye on Gong Shengjia.
Though they were minions, they all came from second and third-tier prominent families of the Imperial Capital Star, far superior to someone from a minor nobility like Gong Shengjia.
Gong Shengjia was furious, her face turning beet red, "You, you’re going too far."
But she was intimidated, these people at the Imperial College were known for causing trouble.
Anyone who crossed them ended up very badly treated.
She was still scared.
A man with blue hair sneered, "We are being excessive, so what are you going to do about it? Do you dare bite us?"
In his eyes, Gong Shengjia was just a dog by Luo Ning’s side.
But this dog dared to bite its master, which was detestable.
Gong Shengjia choked up, silenced by the harsh aura emanating from the others.
This person was notoriously ruthless and cold-hearted.
Her eyes turned red, appearing bullied, and she ran away crying.
The blue-haired man sneered, "Thought she had some backbone, turns out that’s not the case."
Then he and his minions left.
Along the way, Gong Shengjia encountered many people, some casting insulting and disdainful looks, others openly mocking her.
Had Luo Ning not supported and taken care of her during the past two years, Gong Shengjia’s situation wouldn’t have been much better than that of a special admission student.
Before, because of Luo Ning, even those who disliked her did not dare provoke her.
Now that Luo Ning had cut ties with her, over eighty percent of the people at the Imperial College could crush her.
Especially today, with Luo Ning determined to ignore Gong Shengjia, several school bullies had set their sights on her. The days ahead would surely be tough.
Thus, these people couldn’t help but kick someone who was already down.
The incident quickly spread on the school’s forum.
Luo Ning saw it too, but this was within her expectations and she had deliberately let it happen.
Let Gong Shengjia taste the bitterness of living in isolation and disgrace for the rest of her life.
Meanwhile, she took Bo Xiao to the college gym to improve her physical fitness.
Being at the 3S-level of spiritual power, her physical capabilities also had to be continuously enhanced to keep up.
After training, she went alone to the library’s S area to check documents on Mecha manufacturing and watch related videos.
It wasn’t until the evening that Luo Ning left the library.
Walking towards the villa district, then witnessed a single person beating a group.
The person flaunted striking silver hair and moved swiftly, gracefully putting the group down before stopping with a cold expression.
When the leader eventually got up with help from his cronies, he glared fiercely at Lu Xun, "Lao Wu, wait for it."
As he left, upon seeing Luo Ning who had been watching, he couldn’t suppress his anger.
Looking at Luo Ning grimly, he said, "What are you staring at, girl? Believe it or not, I’ll gouge out your eyes."
The sun was setting, and the light wasn’t great, which made it hard for him to recognize Luo Ning in his anger.
Of course, he and Luo Ning weren’t acquainted.
