Quinlyn tilted her head, looking puzzled “Didn’t you say students aren’t allowed to bring food in
Enoch was speechless, thinking. Are you just a regular student!”
89%)
He was holding the food box for Quinlyn, feeling grateful. If it weren’t for her, he’d be out of a job as a trip instructor–and maybe even out of the military
Um about what happened yesterday, I really need to thank you.” Enoch said.
“No problem.” Quinlyn nodded, realizing he wasn’t going to take the food away. She grabbed her stuff and headed upstairs
“Let me help you with that.” Enoch quickly caught up and took the box from her, noticing she was heading toward the principal’s office. His heart raced as he thought. Is she going to file a complaint?
Meanwhile, the principal’s office was already bustling with people early in the morning.
“Well, Mr. Adams, regarding this incident, we are really sorry. Both DigitalKey Group and we have decided to offer free after–school tutoring for a semester as compensation until your students‘ emotions settle down a college professor sand
The professors were now humble after their earlier arrogance. “Moreover, DigitalKey Group will donate two libraries and three academic buildings,”
With such generous offers on the table, Felix was tempted. The incident had been scary, but it had blown over. Getting this kind of compensation wasn’t too bad.
Just as he was about to agree, there was a knock on the door. Enoch entered first, standing obediently to the side. Everyone was confused until they saw a small figure walk in.
The moment Quinlyn appeared, everyone stood up, as stiff as statues. Forgetting negotiating compensation–they were all on their best behavior now,
Felix finally managed a smile, bent slightly, and said kindly, “Quinlyn, do you need anything? It was our mistake yesterday that nearly put you at risk. If you have any feedback, please feel free to share it, and we will certainly address it
He was glad that he didn’t rush to agree to DigitalKey’s requests. The real hero was the kid standing before him, who also had strong connections with the military. Who were they to claim credit for someone else’s achievements?
The professors felt both embarrassed and hopeless as if doomsday had arrived. They couldn’t help but push Austin, the psychology professor, forward, signaling he should apologize, even if it meant bowing low to calm things downL
Otherwise, if word got out about yesterday’s trouble, they’d be suspected of associating with criminals. DigitalKey Group wouldn’t be able to protect them, and they’d all be ruined.
“Q–Q–Quinlyn, I’m, uh, I’m so sorry, Austin stammered, shaking like a leaf. His face was pale. He deeply regretted his arrogance, which had almost caused a disaster. He wished he could go back in time and stop himself.
Quinlyn just watched him quietly. Only when he was about to collapse did she ask, “Did you guys also choose the outdoor site for the high school section’s camping trip?”
The professors paused and then shook their heads. “No, that was chosen by DigitalKey’s headquarters. They have th advanced computing system in the world. One just inputs the data, and it calculates the best option, someone replied
Then he realized something suddenly and added, “Come to think of it, Frostlight Monastery was also chosen by the system after we submitted our proposal”
The word “system” made Quinlyn frown. “What’s the name of the system?” she asked, already holding a tablet in her hands.

The professors were sumprised and troubled After they were hardly cried pratentay causing meer inues today might mean they’d never work with Digitalkey Group again, and their reputations would be rutnet.
But seeing Quinlyn’s serious expression; they hesitated Finally, a professor took out his phone and called the headgenters diely “Hello, is that Ms. Kane!!
After the call connected, the professors bravely conveyed the request, but predictably, they were turned down.
Amy Kane, Warren’s secretary, said on the other end of the line, “Quinlyn? Is the the student who saved people yesterday? First, our group offers her our deepest thanks. If she needs a thank–you gift, she can let us know
“However, we’ve poured a lot of money into the Manldon International School project, and we can’t just pull out because of a child’s request.”
Amy added her voice full of impatience and disdain, “You’re all college professors, right? Isn’t it absurd to take a child’s words as gospel just because of one failure?
The call was on speaker, and her attitude was clear. In the next moment, a small hand took the phone, and Quinlyn’s young voice came through clearly.
“Your system might have been hacked, and the high school section’s camping trip could be in danger. My brother is there, and only your network can get in touch with them immediately,” she explained as briefly as possible
Amy understood but didn’t care, even laughing. “Little girl, our DigitalKey Group’s system is top–notch worldwide. There’s no way there could be a problem. If you’re worried about your brother, just have him quit and go home to stay safe. Don’t disrupt our work.”
“Magnetic storm area–there’s no cell signal there,” Quinlyn said. She had already tried, but the magnetic field in that area was completely scrambled. Now, she could only rely on DigitalKey Group. “Can you try again? Can you still get in touch with the students?”
“Of course, we can. Our cameras are monitoring 24/7. There’s no way a student could get into trouble,” Amy said, finding it funny. She even made a video call to show Quinlyn the giant LCD screen behind her, filled with images from the students smartwatches.
“Now you can relax. Okay, okay, don’t make a fuss when there’s nothing wrong. I’ve still got to clean up the mess you left behind. I’m swamped”
She was complaining as she was about to hang up, but just before the call ended, she heard Quinlyn’s clear and calm voice again. “The surveillance footage was altered”
Amy was taken aback, wanting to say Quinlyn was joking, but Quinlyn had already quickly opened her computer. She first locked onto the IP address of the call and then smoothly located the main server in the surveillance room
Hearing some noise, Amy turned around and saw the once–clear surveillance footage suddenly stutter and freeze and then swiftly turn into a snowy white screen.
“Wh–what’s going on here?” Amy was shocked and turned to Quinlyn, demanding. “What did you do?”
Quinlyn didn’t want to waste any more time with Amy. She looked directly at the camera, expressionless, and don’t want to be charged with treason, tell Warren to see me.”
