Chapter 43: Thunder Laboratory, Something Happened
“I heard you’re a student at Tianhai City University, right? And you’re going into your Senior Year this year. Do you have any plans for postgraduate studies?”
Bai Yu said without mercy, “No.”
Professor Wang Wen’s expression froze.
“Uh, actually, with your abilities, you could directly be recommended for postgraduate studies. How about this, I’ll give you a spot for recommended postgraduate studies, and you can be a postgraduate under one of my Associate Professors. If you truly have the ability, one year as a postgraduate, three years as a doctoral student, and five years as an Associate Professor…”
He’s still trying to string me along?
“Stop, stop, stop! Professor Wang Wen, you don’t seem to understand one thing. This so-called recommended postgraduate study, and research positions like Professor, might be very attractive to the general public, but in my eyes as a combatant, they are worthless!”
“This world has undergone a Spiritual Qi Awakening, and with my talent, why would I go into research instead of Cultivating and becoming stronger? Is this a joke?”
Professor Wang Wen was stunned, thinking: I am a professor in the extraordinary field, and the spots under me are hard to come by! Do you know how many people want to come here?
And it’s not like I’m asking you to stop Cultivating. My department is very flexible! We also have combat members.
This person in front of him doesn’t know what’s good for him, which made him troubled.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Since you created this Tonic Soup, aren’t you interested in scientific research? You must understand that the research field can benefit more people. If you achieve results, you can earn a large amount of funds, and your Cultivation resources can be easily obtained.”
“What is this soup? I also have a Potion/Elixir for cleansing meridians, which is much better than the Honeysuckle Potion on the market and costs less. I can clearly research some things while Cultivating, and do both Cultivation and scientific research. Why should I be your student? Isn’t that just foolish?”
“What!? Do you know the status of Honeysuckle Potion in the industry? Better effect, lower cost? You are typically ignorant!”
Bai Yu deliberately walked to the cabinet, took out a bottle of prepared Potion/Elixir, and shook it.
“Are you at the Qi Gathering Realm, Professor? If so, you can try it.”
Professor Wang Wen was silent for a moment. Could this thing be drunk casually?
However, this kid in front of him was different from most people around him. The Investigation Bureau tried its best to satisfy his requests. All the wealthy and powerful figures in Tianhai City were extremely polite to him.
Yet this kid looked at him with disdain.
It was infuriating! But there was nothing he could do.
After considering for a moment, he said, “Then I’ll try its effect.”
To be honest, for someone like Professor Wang Wen, this green and red Potion/Elixir made him very concerned about the possibility of poisoning.
But Bai Yu said, “Hey, hey, hey, I didn’t say I was going to give it to you, Professor.”
“Speak, how much do you want?”
“This is not something that can be solved with money; we need to discuss conditions.”
Hearing that conditions needed to be discussed, Professor Wang Wen immediately became cautious and asked, “What conditions do you want to discuss?”
“A few days ago, I obtained a Scepter from a Third-Level Treasure Vault. Recently, I tried it, and it seems to require absorbing a large amount of Lightning Attribute Spiritual Energy to activate. I mean, an extremely large amount! So I need a high-specification Laboratory to help activate it.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Wang Wen immediately thought of a large-scale Thunder Laboratory in the suburbs.
That site had only been completed a few months ago.
But he seized on another key point: “You can enter a Third-Level Treasure Vault?”
“Of course, my abilities are much stronger than you imagine. Let’s make a simple trade. If you help me find a suitable site and activate the Scepter, I will give you the Recipe for that soup. The biggest feature of this soup is that ordinary people can also drink it.”
“Ordinary people can too? How can ordinary people withstand food mixed with Spiritual Material from the start?”
“When the Professor came earlier, my roommate drank it. He’s just an ordinary person who has been training for two or three days. He drank it without any issues.”
Hearing this, Professor Wang Wen’s perception of the value of this soup increased.
It’s useful for ordinary people too!
Then he said, “Alright! I can help you contact them.”
Of course, he wouldn’t believe everything Bai Yu said. He was experienced, not foolish. He was already planning to understand Bai Yu better from the Investigation Bureau.
To see what this guy Bai Yu was up to.
Was he trying to sabotage the Laboratory, or did he have some other conspiracy?
Then, Professor Wang Wen looked at the remaining soup and said, “But I have to take all this soup to test if what you said is true.”
“I need to keep two bowls for myself.”
After Professor Wang Wen left, Bai Yu quietly drank, replenishing his body.
About twenty minutes later, the phone rang.
【Captain】
“Hello, Captain, what’s up?”
“I should be asking you what’s up.”
“Hey, you can only blame my excellent cooking skills. The soup I made was too fragrant, attracting a rude old professor, and then I taught him a good lesson.”
“Alright, but I heard you need the Thunder Laboratory?”
“Yes, I’ve been researching it these days, and it’s related to that Scepter.”
“Actually, for something like this, you just need to tell us, and we can arrange it for you.”
Bai Yu: .You should have said so earlier! If I knew you could handle it, I could have saved some soup.
Not exactly, I wasn’t giving it to Professor Wang Wen for free, just letting him spread it out.
After hanging up the phone, he began to Cultivate.
“I feel like my physique is incredibly strong!”
He looked in the mirror.
“Perfect appearance.”
“As expected of me, I’m so handsome!”
Evening.
Sitting in the patrol car, Bai Yu looked at the neon lights outside the window, the bustling skyscrapers, and the brightly lit, familiar Media Building, a sense of satisfaction from the myriad of lights filled his heart.
Patrolling every day and dealing with crises in the darkness felt quite interesting.
Unfortunately, thinking about the Vampire Clan Modification from the morning, the hidden super threat of the Lei Family behind it, and the news of the annihilation of Tianhai City.
Bai Yu felt annoyed again.
Especially since he had a backlog of matters that needed to be dealt with.
‘The Thunder Laboratory mentioned this afternoon, and Purple Intelligence two days later.’
‘Stockpiled Soybean Futures, and the subsequent Oil Futures that need to be bought. Making money is urgent.’
‘Liu Ruoxi’s attack after the Party.’
‘The auction at the end of the month, and the Blood Pi Xiu theft incident on August 5th.’
He couldn’t forget friends like Zhang Youpeng either.
“Thinking about it, there’s too much to do!”
“Sigh~”
At this moment, his phone rang in the car.
Bai Yu looked at it; it was Sister Wanqing calling.
After answering, she simply said “Mm” a few times and hung up.
Bai Yu couldn’t abruptly ask who called.
But Qin Wanqing turned around and said to Bai Yu, “Your cousin Chen Man was at a Bar playing and was targeted by a Vampire. During the process of dealing with it, your cousin saw the Vampire’s true face.”
Bai Yu showed no emotional reaction and simply asked, “Is she alright?”
“She wasn’t injured. The two people sent to your cousin’s side had some strength and resolved the problem in time. However… your cousin has come into contact with the extraordinary, and her emotions are unstable.”
Bai Yu said calmly, “Oh.”
Did it go wrong?
No! Nothing happened, and she was scared to the point of breakdown. The scale was just right!
What is this called? This is called – stunned but unharmed!
Li Yunbin also said, “There’s nothing going on now. Where is the address? Let’s drive there directly.”
“White Moon Bar.”
She must have been dancing.
Bai Yu pondered this in his heart.
‘Originally, I was busy tightening screws every day and was very busy, so I didn’t encounter these things.’
‘Now that I’m free, something has happened.’
‘It seems I need to make the next arrangements and absolutely cannot let her be idle.’
‘As for whether to talk to the relatives of this life about the extraordinary…’
Thinking about these things, he tapped his thigh, contemplating the complex family relationships.
Aunt was still quite good to him, and his cousin from Aunt’s family had a good relationship with him, quite cute.
However, there were a few relatives, damn it, when his parents died, these people verbally said they would take him in to raise him, but Bai Yu knew in his heart that they had no contact usually, and suddenly wanted custody. Were their intentions hard to guess? Really hard to guess~
White Moon Bar, private room 666.
A young man with pale skin was tied to the sofa.
Chen Man was squatting beside him, crying, her body trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Two burly men stood there, waiting quietly.
“Thump~”
The door opened.
Bai Yu and the others quickly entered and saw the scene.
Seeing Bai Yu arrive, Chen Man ran over emotionally and immediately burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu~”
“Monster! Monster! There’s a monster!”
Today is the second round of recommendations, and it has been over 100,000 words. It will be on the intelligent recommendation within three days, so I’m posting three chapters today, just at a cliffhanger.
