The super doubling backhand of the University of Science and Technology not only exceeded Xu Yun's expectations, but also surprised public opinion.
After all, there were rumors flying around on the internet before, and various speculations were endless.
Some said that the University of Science and Technology had discovered the tomb of a certain emperor, some said it was a prelude to a disaster, and some people photoshopped a student file, changing the surname of a Japanese student to "oil girl", which caused a lot of discussion among Naruto fans.
Of course.
There were also many comments about the University of Science and Technology killing insects.
In short, there is truth in falsehood, and falsehood in truth.
But regardless of the truth, most people subconsciously believed that it was more inclined towards natural accidents, and hardly anyone believed that it was caused by human factors.
Therefore, when the official Weibo account of the University of Science and Technology announced that a comprehensive cockroach extermination would be carried out in the East Campus in the near future, and that the whole process would be broadcasted live on the internet, various doubts immediately swept in.
One of the highly praised comments was as follows:
"Come on, isn't it just an insect riot caused by seasonal factors? In 2014, there was also a phenomenon of millions of termites gathering in Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University. In the end, it's just the self-regulation of the regional ecosystem. There's no need to associate it with some new generation insecticides. What's the difference between this and those internet celebrities who pretend to be popular from street photography and start promoting products in a few days?"
The comment received up to 47,000 likes and more than 1,200 related replies.
There were also many similar skeptical comments, including some verified bloggers.
Some doubts were purely based on logical reasoning, while others had certain personal biases.
For example, some external experts who had academic conflicts with a certain professor at the University of Science and Technology, or some public intellectuals who exaggerated the University of Science and Technology events and compared them to the local teaching environment, turned the comment section into a mess.
But where there are doubts, there will naturally be people trying to debunk them, especially the students from the East Campus of the University of Science and Technology.
Even though they were not eyewitnesses to last night's incident, they were still a reliable source of information.
Among these students, the majority were from Class 2 of Yingwu.
"Damn it!"
In the temporary dormitory, Chang Licheng hammered the desk in annoyance:
"If you can't argue back, just block them. Is this the level of a master's student at Jiaotong University?"
Fu Ming, who was beside him, leaned over and took a look when he heard the words:
"Hey, you know how Weibo works. You don't need to verify your education background. You can just fill in Tsinghua, Peking University, or Fudan University casually. Do you really think it's true if someone writes Jiaotong University?
For education background, you have to check on Zhihu. Although there are still a lot of arguments there, at least there is a verification threshold, unlike Weibo where even middle school students can claim to be from Peking University."

Chang Licheng sighed in annoyance and shook his head:
"It's not about the authenticity of the education background. The main problem is that this person's comments are too offensive. Look at it, he's accusing us of seeking fame and fortune, as if he personally witnessed the board of directors meeting.
He keeps mentioning his doctorate and master's degree, but when asked, he doesn't even know the difference between a research master's and a professional master's. Isn't he just a hater?"
Half a day ago, after being "rescued" from the dormitory by the security team, the students from Building 14 were urgently relocated to another vacant dormitory building.
After all, unlike other universities, the University of Science and Technology only admitted less than 2,000 undergraduate students per year, so there were still many vacant dormitories on campus.
As direct witnesses of the cockroach incident, the emotions of Chang Licheng and others had not completely calmed down, but as boys, they were relatively more carefree.
Moreover, the school had granted them two days off, and it was said that the college was considering whether to give them credits or even GPA compensation. The attitude was very friendly.
As time went on, the desire of these hundreds of students to express themselves gradually overwhelmed their inner fear, and they spontaneously became water army online.
Chang Licheng's thoughts were a bit more complicated. After all, the cause of the whole incident was the mischief he and Ye Guohong had caused, so compared to other students, he had a higher frequency of online arguments.
"Ding Dong——"
Just as Chang Licheng was preparing to regroup and argue again, a message notification suddenly sounded in his friend list.
Chang Licheng opened it and found that the sender was a netizen with a JoJo avatar, with the ID "Insatiable at the Testicles" and the note "Wang Zhaomin".
The conversation was very concise, just two words:
Xiao Chang, are you there?
"Wang Zhaomin..."
Chang Licheng recalled for a few seconds and quickly remembered who the person was—this person was a senior from another university whom he had met when he just entered school last year. He had some part-time resources around the school, including but not limited to tutoring, distributing flyers, and mascot costumes.
At that time, Chang Licheng had signed up a few times with his roommates and others, and later learned that this person was actually an intermediary, commonly known as a snakehead.
Jobs that paid 15 yuan per hour would be deducted 30% by him and only 10 yuan would be left in the hands of the part-time students.
Some newcomers who didn't know the situation were often easily deceived. When the newcomers became experienced and knew how to find part-time jobs through other channels, a new batch of newcomers would come.
These people definitely had abilities, and their abilities were higher than most people, but their character varied from person to person.
At least after a few encounters, Chang Licheng took the initiative to cut off contact with him and kept his distance without speaking ill of him behind his back, but also kept a respectful distance.However, despite the lack of contact, the polite formalities were still maintained. Chang Licheng quickly replied:
"I'm here, Brother Min, it's been a while since we last talked. Are you still in Luzhou?"
Soon, Wang Zhaomin sent back a reply:
"I've moved to Yanjing to make a living. I guess I've become a drifter in the north."
Chang Licheng: "Yanjing? That's a great place, but isn't the cost of living quite high?"
Wang Zhaomin quickly replied:
"You're right. The rent for a Ziroom apartment alone is over five thousand a month. Anyway, let's not talk about that. By the way, Chang, I heard something happened in your major yesterday?"
"Yep, we were invaded by cockroaches [facepalm]."
"So that's it. I saw on the University's official Weibo that it was caused by a pesticide. Is that true or false?"
Hearing the mention of pesticide, Chang Licheng suddenly became interested and typed a few more sentences:
"Of course it's true. It's a new type of pesticide developed by one of our seniors. I was the one who applied the medicine yesterday."
After Chang Licheng sent this message, Wang Zhaomin's chat box suddenly quieted down.
However, from the top of the chat box, it was clear that Wang Zhaomin was in the 'typing' status, probably organizing his next message.
After a while, Wang Zhaomin's new reply came:
"Chang, I won't lie to you, I've been having a lot of cockroaches in my place recently, all of them are American cockroaches. My girlfriend is scared to death in the middle of the night. Do you have any leftover pesticide that you could give me?"
Chang Licheng was taken aback by this and subconsciously typed:
"I do have some, but... it's not very convenient. This pesticide hasn't been made public yet. Why don't you wait a little longer, Brother Min?"
A few seconds later, Wang Zhaomin sent another reply, which made Chang Licheng raise his eyebrows:
"[Crying] I can't wait... There are just too many cockroaches. How about this, you put some pesticide in a small vitamin C bottle for me, and I'll transfer you 300 yuan?"
300 yuan, for a student, was quite a tempting figure.
However, Chang Licheng's attitude remained firm, and he typed on the keyboard:
"......Really can't. How about I ask my senior if he can sell you some?"
Seeing Chang Licheng's firm attitude, Wang Zhaomin had no choice but to give up:
"Never mind then, I'm not very familiar with your senior. I'll think of something else. Maybe the formula from Wuqiong Xiaoliang might be good....."
Looking at the reply from Wang Zhaomin, Chang Licheng felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Then he slowly scrolled up the chat record, his gaze finally stopping on two sentences:
"Isn't it strange that there are so many cockroaches in Yanjing this season? And there are even American cockroaches?"
