"Are you Li Xiang?"

The two girls, hearing someone pointing at Li Xiang and shouting, immediately asked in disbelief.

"Shh~ Don’t make a fuss."

Li Xiang nervously checked his surroundings. At this moment, he was besieged from all sides, and any slight carelessness would lead to him being discovered and surrounded.

That Academician Ma, really, why did he have to reveal his identity?

The uproar at Peking University was indeed because Li Xiang’s identity had always been a secret.

The Artificial Intelligence "Xiaomu" was a sensation online, but no one knew who its creator was. It was a case of the product being famous but the person not.

Everyone wanted to know who developed such an amazing software.

Today, this mysterious person finally made an appearance on the Peking University campus. How could that not stir things up?

"Uh-huh, we won’t make a fuss."

The two girls were so excited that they stomped their feet. Two guys who caught up also ran over: "God, we’re your fans. Can we take a picture together?"

"You can take a picture, but please don’t make a fuss. Our Peking University classmates are too enthusiastic, and I’m afraid of being torn apart by you guys."

Li Xiang gave a wry smile; the campus was crowded with people. Especially after his news had been pinned by an admin on the campus network, more and more students came out of dormitories and classrooms, swarming over.

There were people everywhere he went.

The four students surrounding Li Xiang were instantly beaming, and they all took out their phones to take pictures with him.

After taking the photos, Li Xiang asked one of the girls, "Do you have an extra mask? Can you give me one?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll get it for you."

She then took out an unopened mask from her bag and handed it to Li Xiang.

After putting on the mask, Li Xiang immediately felt much safer: "By the way, where is the principal’s office?"

After the students pointed out the direction, Li Xiang waved goodbye to them, leaving the still excited students standing there feeling proud.

Since Li Xiang decided to reveal the Artificial Intelligence, he had been ready for fame.

From the moment AI was born, it was destined to be recorded in history. As the developer, he was bound to become famous, just like the teenage genius who discovered graphene, destined to be renowned both domestically and internationally.

So he had long been psychologically prepared, but the sudden arrival of fame, just within a Peking University campus, made him somewhat apprehensive. The feeling of being pursued after fame was not as good as he imagined.

He just hoped that after the hype cooled down, he could return to normal life.

On campus, everyone was still searching for Li Xiang, like a big game of hide and seek. Wearing the mask and his jacket inside out, he managed not to be discovered.

After all, he was a cop, and with some counter-surveillance techniques, these Peking University students were already clueless.

At this moment, Academician Ma called: "Xiao Li, where are you?"

"I’m heading to the principal’s office, Academician Ma. You’ve really put me in a tough spot now."

"Hehe, your fame was just a matter of time. You have to learn to adapt. I’m just helping you adapt early. Wait for me there, I’ll be right there."

The two quickly met at the office building and took the elevator together to the principal’s office.

"Principal Gong, look who I brought over. Last time you said, upon seeing Li Xiang, under any circumstances, bring him to Peking University for a visit. Well, here he is, I brought him for you."

Academician Ma, like an old friend, directly pushed open the principal’s office door, indicating the unusual relationship between the two.

"Ah, welcome, welcome. Meeting you is better than hearing of you. Seeing you today, you’re really young, please have a seat."

Upon seeing Li Xiang, Principal Gong couldn’t take his eyes off him, and his words were quite cordial.

"Principal, you’re too kind."

"Did you just have a look around the school? How’s our campus environment?"

Principal Gong’s words immediately reminded Li Xiang of the scene where he was being chased and blocked by Peking University students. How could he have had the mind to look at the campus environment?

He was only focused on escape routes.

So, he casually replied, "It’s alright!"

But when Li Xiang realized it, he immediately felt this remark was inappropriate.

This "alright" was influenced by Xiao Sa. When someone asked him how Peking University was, he said it was alright, and this joke spread.

When someone asked how Peking University was, the quick response was: it’s alright.

But now it’s different, saying Peking University is just alright in front of the principal?

Even if Xiao Sa came, he wouldn’t dare, right?

Sure enough, hearing Li Xiang’s casual "alright," Academician Ma couldn’t hold it back and burst into hearty laughter.

"Principal Gong, this Peking University joke, you just can’t get over it."

Academician Ma’s words instantly dispelled Principal Gong’s awkwardness. At this moment, it’s undeniable that Academician Ma, being experienced, resolved Li Xiang’s unintentional words with one sentence.

"Haha, indeed our Peking University is also just alright."

Principal Gong seized the opportunity to step back and, not mentioning the topic of Peking University anymore, turned to talk about Artificial Intelligence.

And this topic matched Li Xiang’s expertise, allowing him to talk passionately and endlessly.

Peking University’s computer science is considered the top tier among national computer science programs. Peking University’s inherent strength is that of a top domestic university, like a ceiling in existence. The school also established an Artificial Intelligence Research Institute specializing in AI models, but progress hadn’t been very ideal.

Seeing things were not ideal, Principal Gong thought of Li Xiang.

If Li Xiang were to join, Peking University’s Artificial Intelligence Research Institute could once again stand at the pinnacle of academic institutions domestically...no...globally.

As the conversation became more animated, Principal Gong suddenly extended an invitation: "Li Xiang, on behalf of Peking University, I formally invite you to become an honorary professor at Peking University. Would you be interested?"
