Samuel wasn't in the conversation.
In the lively dorm atmosphere, Samuel was learning programming software. Jack had told him that learning programming could land him a good job, so Samuel became exceptionally hardworking.
Jack planned to test Samuel's skills at a more appropriate time. If he did well, he would consider hiring him at Genesis Games.
When Isaac and Joshua saw Jack return, they enthusiastically invited him into the discussion. Queenie, Miranda, and the rest of the group turned their gaze toward him.
Amelia, in particular, looked at him with anticipation and eagerness. However, Jack smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm quite occupied these days. Maybe next time!"
Genesis Games had just secured a successful round of funding and was ready to go all out.
With the massive success of Legend of the West and the growing popularity of Horizon Net, even with an increasingly large team assisting, Jack still needed to attend to countless matters.
Disappointment lingered in Isaac and Joshua's eyes when Jack rejected the invitation.
Queenie, Anya, Miranda, and the rest were perplexed, vaguely sensing that Jack was the centre of the entire dorm. However, they couldn't figure out why.
Even if Jack was great at basketball and had helped Joshua in the past, this was not a good enough reason to earn Isaac and Joshua's respect.
Only Amelia knew everything Jack had done.
Yet, this was nothing short of a myth to an average student. Who would have imagined that the boy who arrived at the beginning of the semester in knockoff clothes, dragging a woven fertilizer sack and being ridiculed by many, would achieve such massive success?
No one.
However, Amelia was similar to them. Back then, she was short-sighted and broke up with Jack. If it weren't for those few chance encounters, how would she have known about the remarkable world Jack thrived in beyond campus?
However, what could she do with this newfound information? Since she had missed her opportunity, there was no turning back.
Although Amelia appeared similar to them on the surface, her short-sightedness led to her breakup with Jack. This decision had undoubtedly proved her lack of foresight. If it weren't for the few chance encounters, no one would have noticed how extraordinary Jack was.
