Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 766 - 332 will never regret

The school hadn’t fully opened yet, so the cafeteria only had one window open.

Shen You’an, Liu Runxi, and Gu Bichen picked up their meals and sat at a window-side seat. The three of them weren’t the talkative type and ate silently.

Gu Bichen glanced at Shen You’an across the table, thought for a moment, and said, "An’an, are you interested in the time machine research Mr. Xie mentioned earlier?"

He had been Shen You’an’s desk mate for quite a while and often saw her engrossed in reading books on temporal physics during their free time.

Shen You’an swallowed her food, lowered her gaze, and responded softly, "Mm."

"Then let’s go to the library together after we eat. De Ren Library has the most comprehensive collection of research literature on temporal physics. You can look anything up freely," he suggested.

"Alright."

Gu Bichen glanced at her silently, the corners of his lips curving into an unintentional smile.

Liu Runxi caught the moment, gripping his chopsticks tighter, and lowered his gaze without expression.

After eating, Shen You’an, Gu Bichen, and Liu Runxi headed to the library together. Gu Bichen led them straight to the sixth floor.

The sixth floor was expansive and quiet, lined with orderly rows of bookshelves holding rare documents. More than half of the materials were out-of-print publications, inaccessible elsewhere even for a price.

The librarian on the sixth floor noticed the three entering, frowned slightly, and stood up.

"Are you students from the Young Talent Class?"

Gu Bichen took out his student card. "We’re here to look up some materials."

The librarian accepted the card and connected it to the system. The student’s information instantly popped up. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

When the librarian noticed the familiar surname, his face broke into a warm smile. "Oh, it’s Young Master Gu."

Gu Bichen nodded politely with a smile. "May we go in now?"

"According to the rules, these two also need to register..."

Shen You’an and Liu Runxi handed over their student cards.

After registering, the librarian unlocked the barrier.

Once the three had entered, the librarian picked up his phone and discreetly made a call.

Gu Bichen appeared quite familiar with the layout, guiding Shen You’an efficiently to one of the digital catalog machines.

The catalog machine also required a student card to unlock access. Gu Bichen placed his card in the sensor area, and the display screen showed a loading prompt.

Soon, the PAC interface appeared.

Gu Bichen stepped aside and said to Shen You’an, "Enter the name of the material or the author you’re looking for in the search box."

Shen You’an approached and typed "Yu Yisen" into the search box.

The page displayed a loading message as a small spinning circle revolved endlessly, seeming as though it would never stop.

Shen You’an took a deep breath as time steadily ticked away.

A pop-up message appeared on the screen, stating: "Access level insufficient, unable to view."

Gu Bichen frowned and said to Shen You’an, "Don’t worry, let me make a quick call to check."

Gu Bichen walked to the side with his phone and dialed a number.

"Uncle Qingyun, it’s Bichen."

Gu Qingyun, the principal of De Ren Middle School.

"Ah, Bichen. You started school today, right? How are you adjusting to the new environment?"

"Everything’s great. But Uncle Qingyun, my classmates and I are at the library trying to look up some materials. Why does the system say my access level isn’t sufficient?"

"What materials are you trying to find?"

"Professor Yu Yisen."

The voice on the other end fell silent for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Bichen, that’s a regulation from higher authorities. I have no control over it."

Gu Bichen glanced back at Shen You’an. "What should I do to gain access?"

"Have you heard of Professor Kong from the Physics Research Institute?"

Gu Bichen nodded. "Yes, I’ve heard of him."

"He’s the leading figure in the field of physics domestically. Without his approval, no one can unlock it. I have other matters to attend to—let’s leave it at that for now."

Gu Bichen hung up the call and walked back. "An’an, don’t worry. I’ll figure something out."

Liu Runxi looked at Gu Bichen. "You’re part of the Gu family, yet you don’t have the clearance?"

"It’s a bit complicated..." Gu Bichen replied hesitantly.

Liu Runxi said flatly, "Is it because of Professor Kong?"

Gu Bichen frowned, glancing at him. "How do you know?"

"Professor Yu Yisen and Professor Kong Liwen were both students of Professor Migo over thirty years ago. At that time, Professor Yu Yisen had already gained academic fame with numerous remarkable papers and was Professor Migo’s most favored student. After returning to the country, he was employed at the Temporal Physics Research Institute under the Physics Research Institute. If it hadn’t been for the lab explosion back then, the current leader in the field of physics would be Professor Yu Yisen."

Gu Bichen hadn’t expected him to know so much. "That’s correct. It’s a pity that Professor Yu Yisen was involved in that accident, and there’s been no news about him since."

"Whoever tied the knot must untie it. If you want to unlock the access, Professor Kong is key."
