Because the majority of attendees appeared dispirited, the atmosphere of the academic conference was naturally affected. Most participants were drowsy, and both the speakers on stage and the listeners in the audience lacked enthusiasm.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of the conference was inevitably dull from the beginning, even more so than the last time Chen Yu had attended.
Chen Yu even saw quite a few attendees with particularly bad complexions, who completely ignored the speaker on stage and fell asleep leaning on their seats. Those who managed to stay awake were obviously fighting off yawns, with their eyelids battling to stay open.
