"Are you out of your mind?" eximed a post that quickly went viral in the Northbridge High School online forum


    In no time, the forum was swarming with spectators.


    Anthea found herself under fire. used of stic surgery and giarism by trolls, enduring a rough patch. Meanwhile, Reba seemed to thrive


    amidst the chaos, subtly leveraging the situation to her advantage. Her follower count, which had plummeted to just under five million, miraculously


    bounced back to six million in a matter of hours


    ThorHammerStriker chimed in: "Team Griffin, let''s stand by Anthea! We''ve got to have faith in Ann! She''ll prove herself with her talents!"


    Pupper added: "Exactly, believe in Ann!"


    Caught up in her schoolwork, Anthea was oblivious to the online storm.


    Ding!


    She had justpleted a task when a friend request popped up.


    ID: Varn.


    Her friend list wasn''t full, so Anthea epted.


    Elsewhere, in ab.


    "Yes! Phoenix actually epted!" A middle-aged man in a radiation suit nearly jumped for joy.


    Just then, someone entered the room.


    “Doctor, what''s got you so excited?”


    Dr. Varn couldn''t contain his exhration. "Phoenix epted my friend request!"


    "Really?"


    Dr. Varn nodded. "Andrea, should I drop him a message now? Maybe chat about artificial intelligence?"


    Dr. Varn was a tech fanatic, having made significant contributions to human research. He had long awaited a discussion with Phoenix YC, who


    seemed even more adept than many abroad, on professional topics. Phoenix’s enigmatic nature had kept him at bay, until today.


    When titans meet, excitement is inevitable.


    Andrea suggested, "Perhaps start with a task for him, then ease into other topics.”N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Good thinking, Andrea," said Dr. Varn.


    Anthea found Varn intriguing. After


    completing atask worth $700,000


    for him, he-Qembarded her with


    questions ‘about future tech like


    light- speed spacecraft, =


    miniaturization, and aerial


    architecture, showcasing deep


    ay


    professional insight. He even


    suggested adding each other on


    Whatsapp.


    Anthea hesitated and ultimately


    declined, unwilling to expose hers


    persanal life to a stranger from the


    digital realm.


    Swnovel -


    Back at theb, Dr. Varn frowned. "Andrea, he didn''t ept."


    Andrea consoled him, "Patience is key, Doctor. These things take time."


    Dr. Varn had to agree. Just having Phoenix on his friends list was satisfaction enough


    Meanwhile, Anthea tackled missions online, her forum ount bing increasingly popr.


    Phoenix-JustYourAverageJoe: "Dad''s so cool!”


    Phoenix: PowerMax & YoungAce: "Dad. save some of those good genes for us!"


    Phoenix:-InfinityAeon00: "Holy cow! Dad just epted my friend request! You guys should try tool”


    Phoenix: IGotADog: “It actually worked! Thanks, bro!”


    Suddenly, Anthea found herself bombarded with friend requests, all iming to be her long-lost sons.


    Seeing thousands of requests, she raised an eyebrow. When did she acquire such a vast progeny?


    Nheless... free sons are not to be declined.


    But addressing them one by one was too cumbersome. With a stroke of genius, Anthea scripted a batch approval


    Just as she finished, the school bell rang. and she put away her phone.


    "Holy moly! Can you believe these people?" Lizzie eximed, clutching her phone.


    "What''s up?” Anthea turned slightly.


    Lizzie passed her the phone. "Annie, see for yourself!"


    Skimming through thements about her alleged stic surgery, Anthea remained calm


    Lizzie was fuming. "They''re the ones


    with the stic surgery! Their whole


    farnily! A bunch of jealousmions!"
