Tan Rou noticed that something was off with the atmosphere; she laughed awkwardly and asked, "Did I ask something I shouldn't have?"
One of the men with a big beard glanced at her and said, "You're not from our country, are you?"
Tan Rou replied, "I'm not from J country; I'm from another country and plan to attend an academic conference."
The bearded man nodded and said, "No wonder you speak the J language so fluently; you're a student, right? Are you studying linguistics?"
"No." Since Tan Rou wanted to extract information, she needed to gain these people's trust, so she made up a specialty, "I'm studying mechanical kinetics."
The bearded man laughed and said, "Ah, so you're here for the robotics exchange meeting, huh?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, I'm here for the robotics exchange meeting." Tan Rou didn't know which meeting it was but guessed from the name what it was about, "I think it's an opportunity to broaden my horizons, so I came over."
