The Same Small Circle
Yun Xiaoxiao: "..."
The Baldy thought for a moment before speaking:
"Your Majesty, your method seems to be working. My mother stopped observing me ten hours ago, or at least I can no longer sense it."
Shang Yang looked up sharply. "So you were watching this the whole time? Damn, he was even allowed to attend classes outside the school when he enrolled."
"I found it quite beautiful, at least it has a unique charm when the Cognitive Manifestation."
The Baldy stroked his chin, savoring the moment, then pulled out a [Specified Quirk Certification].
"I even went to a mental hospital to take a certification exam..."
"Stop, let's not discuss these issues anymore." Su Luo stopped everything.
"Your task is to help me find suitable research groups. I require you to infiltrate those Work-Study Students and learn about topics related to advancing to [Demigod] level."
Su Luo said calmly.
He lacks resources.
No matter how amazing Su Luo is, she can't conjure up a bunch of promotion resources out of thin air.
Libraries can only sell knowledge; teachers need time and justification to apply for experiments and research projects.
The application process takes at least half a month, and the experiments are often at the [Demigod] level, Su Luo cannot do for the time being.
Experiments between [Limit Breaker] and [Demigods ], or even directly related to advancement experiments, are rarely undertaken by faculty and staff.
These are all Work-Study Students preparing to advance to [Demigod] level. They apply to the academy for experimental projects, use resources brought from outside, and also freeload off some of the academy's resources.
These are some of the hidden benefits of [Adrian Academy], and also Su Luo's hope for advancement.
It can also make some money.
"Why aren't you two saying anything?" Su Luo frowned.
Shang Yang: "Me? Me?"
Baldy: "What if we can't beat the Work-Study Students?"
Shang Yang was dumbfounded, and the Baldy was bewildered.
The Baldy is New Life and doesn't understand, and the senior who mentored him back then has already gone into seclusion and left him alone.
Shang Yang found it utterly unbelievable.
He'd been in the college for two years and hadn't even seen the Work-Study Students. Now they wanted him to go Work-Study Student among them?
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed? We're all classmates, we'll see each other all the time. The time for you to be tested has come."
Su Luo lowered her head and took a sip of tea, which was tea leaves she had taken from the restaurant.
"No need to rush, but it's best to be quick. I'll address the project once I've sorted out what I'm currently working on."
Shang Yang looked helpless. "Slow and steady wins the race; haste makes waste."
To put it bluntly, you entrusted this matter to us, but you didn't take it seriously at all.
He shrugged, indicating that it was impossible to do so.
Given his status as Scholar and lecturer, he should logically be fawning over the Scholar, practically swimming in the Scholar's shoes.
But because of the ironclad rule that "students who are not good at studying should not hinder students who are good at studying," he couldn't even see the "Work-Study Students " and might even die.
"What's so difficult about that?" the Baldy objected.
"Aren't they just a bunch of guys who are guaranteed to reach the minimum level of Limit Breaker? Aren't you Limit Breaker too? Are you afraid of their sharpness?"
Shang Yang sneered, "Let's not even talk about whether I can beat those guys. At [Adrian Academy], everyone is competing in Knowledge and intelligence!"
"In their presence, I'm no better than a dog that understands human nature!"
Then, Shang Yang and the Baldy started arguing about just how intelligent dogs with human-like intelligence really are.
Su Luo: "..."
He looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately understood and gave both of them a beating.
"Stop arguing. From now on, my [Adjudication] will be implemented alongside you, and I'll cover the funding."
Su Luo said calmly.
He issued the Adjudication mainly for this matter; otherwise, he usually just goes between his dormitory, Library, and classroom, and there's nothing he needs protection for.
Before Yun Xiaoxiao, Shang Yang, and the Baldy could say anything, Su Luo used her privileges to throw the three guys out of the Library.
"Holy crap, they're really fighting."
The Baldy was whipped until his head bled profusely.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a surge of excitement. "Wow, this is the first time I've felt so powerful! But it's a bit expensive; I just spent 30,000 on you guys."
"Scholars are just different; they beat you up before even asking you to do the work," Shang Yang muttered.
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately chimed in, "Not bad, at least the money was spent on you guys."
After discarding the irrelevant people, Su Luo opened the [Advancement Outline] again, preparing to review the [Transcendent Path Advancement] once more.
In fact, within the [Adrian Academy]'s classification of advancement knowledge, there is no major category of [Body Foundation Advancement] and [Transcendent Path Advancement]. Everyone's common knowledge is [Transcendent Path Advancement].
Direct [Body Foundation Advancement] is a niche and abnormal process. Su Luo's classification is mainly due to perspective and cognitive inertia, which elevates the importance of [Body Foundation Advancement].
In Su Luo's eyes, most of the [Transcendent Path Advancement] involves borrowing the complete closed-loop rules of a certain transcendent school, using oneself as Anchor, and grafting or imitating the power of the world.
The powerful Technology Side is actually the ultimate master of utilizing the World Rules.
Therefore, most of the Technology Side methods are included in the [Transcendent Path Advancement].
Because it was special, Su Luo recorded it at the very beginning.
This involves a very important issue.
Is a powerful, purely Technology Side considered extraordinary?
Even at the Adrian Academy, this is a controversial issue because it is so vague.
All Civilization Development a certain stage of development, will develop tools and technologies. So why is it that some are considered Technology Side, some Transcendent Side, and some a hybrid approach?
From the perspective of a less advanced civilization, pure technology is vastly different from other extraordinary technologies.
In the Technology Side, power comes from the deduction and utilization of matter and objective rules; all phenomena can be broken down into reproducible things.
In most Transcendent Side, power comes from Authority, Divinity, world Fruit Position, causal Talent, etc. Some phenomena cannot be completely dissected, and technology is the means of utilizing extraordinary power.
But when you reach the higher levels of [Adrian Academy], where you can create Small Worlds, the concepts begin to become confused.
The theoretical system of civilization allows some phenomena to be explained by physical technology; other phenomena acknowledge the real existence of Mana, spirit, and Authority, and use technological means to utilize extraordinary powers.
A powerful technological civilization can be extraordinary, or it can be not; all the debates are simply about different perspectives.
"Pure Technology Side advancement is essentially an advancement of an entire civilization. With the support of a civilization's technology and productivity, the difficulty of reaching the Demigod level is diluted. Without changing the world, the Technology Side is actually the most difficult and the most powerful."
Su Luo flipped through the Technology Side section.
This part is far too complex, and the Technology Side doesn't actually place much emphasis on individual combat strength, so it's not particularly difficult for Su Luo.
The main event is still the advancement on the Mana Side.
There are many ways to get promoted, but Su Luo will only introduce the main ones.
The promotion methods introduced are all extremely difficult; Su Luo only provides the simpler promotion methods for reference and may even disregard them.
Moreover, Su Luo would try her best to do everything that was introduced to her.
After all, Su Luo quite unbalanced in terms of academic strengths and weaknesses.
