Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 525 - 499: Interview

Two hours later.

The speech finally ended.

Zhang Miaomiao quickly came from backstage, a ripple in her eyes as she looked at Chen Shouyi and said, "General Manager Chen, Renmin Daily wants an exclusive interview with you!"

Chen Shouyi, preparing to leave, paused slightly.

This was unprecedented.

When he received the Godslayer Medal, there wasn’t even an exclusive interview, just a brief mention in an inconspicuous place on the second page.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "Sure, when!"

"Seeing that it’s already noon, how about after lunch, at one o’clock?" Zhang Miaomiao suggested.

"Okay!"

The Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy warmly hosted a lunch.

A seventeen-year-old girl sat beside him, expressionless, showing no polite face.

After the banquet dispersed, the two walked out the door and saw no one around, Chen Xingyue quietly said, "Brother, are you crazy? How could you do such a dangerous thing just now?"

"Ahem..." Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but cough, "It’s fine, bullets can’t hurt me!"

Though his brain was a bit buzzing from the bullet impact.

"What if?" She said with a stern face, still remembering how her heart was pounding, almost scared to death.

"What if? I’ve blocked rifle bullets before, not to mention a handgun." Chen Shouyi said indifferently, then remembered something and warned, "Don’t babble about it."

"Hmph!" Chen Xingyue turned her head away.

What does hmph mean?

But he couldn’t figure out what to do with his sister, definitely not pin her down on the ground, beat her up, and threaten, "Do you still want benefits from me?"

Then he took out a golden scale from his pocket and touched her arm, "Here, another piece for you."

The golden scale shimmered in the sunlight with a mesmerizing glow, like the most beautiful gem.

Chen Xingyue glanced at it, and her eyes couldn’t look away, hesitating a bit, her hand uncontrollably reached out and took it.

Chen Shouyi found dealing with his sister and the Shell Lady was pretty much the same.

"Do you think by buying me off, parents won’t know!" Chen Xingyue turned her head and snorted, "Such a sensational event will soon spread across the whole Hedong City."

...

In a small conference room.

The photographer was checking the film camera.

Renmin Daily’s senior reporter Wang Jingshu was repeatedly organizing the interview script, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She had interviewed government officials, renowned billionaires, and famous scientists, but interviewing a legendary strong figure was a first.

Before coming out, she had already learned some information about Chen Shouyi.

It shocked her tremendously.

The recipient of the Godslayer Medal.

The creator of the Chen-style training method that caused a sensation in the entire Great Xia Country, now including the Chen-style Horizontal Training Method.

Nineteen years old.

And of course... very handsome.

Faced with such a person, nervousness was inevitable.

"Jingshu sis, it’s almost time," the assistant reminded.

Wang Jingshu took a deep breath.

...

"Hello, General Manager Chen, I’m Wang Jingshu." Wang Jingshu wore a black professional outfit, showing a proper smile and extending her hand, "It’s a pleasure to interview you."

Chen Shouyi shook her hand, "Just call me Chen Shouyi!"

He sat down on the sofa opposite her, looking relaxed, noticing the film camera next to him, he asked, "Why is there a video recording?"

"It’s to keep as a valuable archive!" Wang Jingshu explained.

"I just asked casually, let’s start!" Chen Shouyi said, unable to resist adjusting his sitting position.

Oh, the burden of fame!

"When did you become interested in martial arts?" Wang Jingshu asked with a smile.

Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe when I was young, my health was not good, frail and sick, so I admired those kids who were good at fighting."

Actually, it was after his sister practiced martial arts and he found he couldn’t beat her, so he started practicing martial arts, of course, he couldn’t mention that.

Wang Jingshu smiled slightly, "I think it’s precisely this passion for martial arts that made you a legendary figure at such a young age!"

"I suppose so!" Chen Shouyi said without a trace of embarrassment, "And of course, the hard work!"

"Were you nervous facing barbarians for the first time?" Wang Jingshu continued to ask.

"If it’s the first time, nervousness is unavoidable, even thought about running, but once you overcome it, it’s nothing!" Chen Shouyi said, after all, it’s Renmin Daily, everyone will see it, he was quite cooperative, everything he said was positive.

"Can you tell us about your experience in godslayer?" Wang Jingshu asked.

Chen Shouyi was surprised by the question, this interview was going big!

He had long sensed that Great Xia Country consistently maintained a silent attitude towards individual godslaying, never promoting it.

He made guesses, partly to avoid personal hero worship, and more importantly, to prevent the occurrence of faith becoming a god.

And this sudden change in attitude from above.

Made him think deeply.

Could it be that the situation in Great Xia Country has already reached such a critical point?

Chen Shouyi came back to his senses, suppressing his thoughts, and smiled, "No problem, but saying godslaying is exaggerated, it’s actually just a demigod!"

Wang Jingshu showed a trace of admiration, legs together, "General Manager Chen, you’re too humble, a demigod is also classified as a Barbarian God!"

"How to say it! If you consider a True God to be an adult, then a demigod is just a baby, the power gap is too vast!" Chen Shouyi thought and said.

"But for the rest of us, it’s still unimaginable!" Wang Jingshu said, "May I ask, how many demigods have you killed in total?"

"Three, I think!" Chen Shouyi said, paused for a moment, then added nonchalantly, "If you add one from another world, four in total."

The atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Afterward, Wang Jingshu suppressed the waves of shock in her heart and asked some questions about his life and family, ending the interview.

...

Chen Shouyi left the school and returned home.

The Shell Lady had already woken up, she emerged from the bedclothes.

"Good Giant, you’re back, this thing keeps ringing ’ling ling ling’." The Shell Lady pointed to the phone and said.

"Ignore it!" Chen Shouyi said.

There was no caller ID nowadays, without answering the phone, no one knew who was calling.

Moreover, important matters always had someone come to the door.

Chen Shouyi poured himself a cup of hot water and gulped it down. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He sat on the bed and checked the attribute panel.
