Feeling (@Meeting in Yuu and Sora's Spring Day--King of Gifts (2/5))
"I need to learn by observing the difference in time flow. What am I supposed to learn if you don't have classes?" Su Luo frowned.
The amount of data purchased for over a billion is neither a small nor a huge sum, and Su Luo hasn't fully digested it yet. She's only handling the exam and other matters at the same time.
Without learning, one cannot survive.
Zuo Guxian opened his mouth as if to speak, but after thinking for a moment, he took on a course for himself and prepared to teach it.
Having followed Scholars for so long, I've come to understand some things.
Their strength improvement can never compare to that of the Survivors; after a while, they'll turn into maggots.
But as long as you do things well, you'll have the opportunity to retire comfortably.
You see, as Scholars' abilities improve, even the Cloud Maggots that swim in the soles of shoes rise in status and bully others.
The Future is bright.
Maybe...
[Adrian Academy] East Thirty-Second Courtyards, a small space separate from the main space.
The Work-Study Student, covered in emerald green liquid, leaned lazily against the lab bench, dozing off with his eyes closed, his posture relaxed and carefree.
A few ordinary students assisting with the experiment sat around a table, leisurely playing cards and slacking off, showing no signs of a research atmosphere.
Nobody knows why the Laboratory isn't doing experiments.
After a while, the Laboratory door disappeared silently, and a creature with golden light strode in, its gaze falling on the guy whose whole body was dripping with green liquid.
"Cameron, you're slacking off again! This project has been going on for over thirty years, and if it's not finished soon, it will be forcibly ended!"
"You're calling your mom?"
The green creature, called Cameron, raised its eyes and replied nonchalantly:
"If you, Wang Fujian, are capable of achieving results, if you, Wang Fujian, were to advance to Demigod today, become a lecturer tomorrow, and become the dean the day after, wouldn't our project be able to conclude?"
At this moment, Wang Fujian's gaze fell on the students playing cards nearby.
The students were terrified and didn't know what to do for a moment.
They were ordinary students who came to the research group to help out. Although their strength was similar to that of the Work-Study Students, [Adrian Academy] was, after all, a place where people paid to play.
Wang Fujian waved his hand irritably, and the students breathed a sigh of relief and quickly scurried out.
"That's ridiculous! What do you think this Laboratory is, hiring a bunch of idiots to gamble Laboratory? You really enjoy gambling that much? Gambling every single day!"
Cameron raised his eyes slightly, but his body remained completely still.
"Does watching gambling automatically make you a gambler? Did all the guests at your mother's wedding marry her?"
Wang Fujian frowned, ignoring the trash talk, and simply found a clean spot in the Laboratory to sit down.
Following him were several members of the research group, some looking dissatisfied, others indifferent.
"It has to be our Lord Cameron! He just sleeps in the Laboratory all day and solves the problem."
"Who knows, maybe he's just a short-lived ghost who lives in Dreamscape, haha..."
"Don't say that, don't say that. Lord Cameron, where would you find resources to navigate the Dreamscape?"
"..."
Finally, a richly dressed girl appeared in the Laboratory, coldly surveying the messy Laboratory.
"Prepare for the seventy-sixth experiment."
Cameron stretched, stood up, and began turning on the equipment in the Laboratory.
[The spacetime anchoring process has started...]
[Pseudo-time axis deviation check: ±0.0003, corrected]
[Space Disturbance Isolation Barrier: In Operation]
[Mana Supply Chain Self-Check]
[Main Mana Fountain: Stable Output]
[Backup Mana Reserve: 72% remaining]
[Magic tube circuit pressure test: All normal, no leakage]
[Detector Array Initialization]
[Soul module loading complete]
[Subsystem Launched]
[High-Risk Early Warning Module: Activated]
[Void Escape Interference Filtering: Enabled]
[Data logging terminal: Enabled, automatically saves all observation logs]
[Security lock verification complete, emergency circuit breaker mechanism ready to activate]
[Experimental subjects are lacking]
"We've run out of experimental subjects. We're requesting that school staff go out and capture wild Limit Breaker as experimental samples," Cameron said without looking up.
"There's been some unrest outside lately, which might affect efficiency," someone warned.
"Then let's go to the Small World's breeding farm and catch one that's being raised." Cameron still didn't look up.
No cumbersome scheduling required.
The elegant young woman spoke in a cool, aloof voice, directly interrupting the discussion, her gaze sweeping across the entire room:
"Since there's a shortage of samples, we'll use what's available. One of you will be chosen to fill in as the test subject."
"Huh? This..." Cameron looked up abruptly, all sleepiness gone.
The other Work-Study Students, including their leader Wang Fujian, also became somewhat nervous, and even broke out in a cold sweat.
[Adrian Academy] teaches students, and most students come to learn and advance in their careers.
In theory, students learn how to advance in rank before graduating and leaving [Adrian Academy] to seek resources for advancement elsewhere.
This is also why you need to fill in a guarantor; otherwise, even if you learn how to advance, without a [Demigod] guarantor to support you, the probability of obtaining enough advancement resources is less than one percent.
However, there are loopholes to exploit. A small portion of the experiments conducted by various research groups or lecturers focus on extraordinary Paths to advancement or how to achieve better advancement.
Joining relevant research groups and experiments, along with the experimental resources provided by the college and the resources you bring yourself, might allow you to advance directly within the college.
This is almost an unspoken rule among Work-Study Students, and the college turns a blind eye to it.
But for someone like this to expose the unspoken rules is just plain crazy.
Wang Fujian's face twitched, and he suddenly pulled out his academic system and registered for the first course recommended by the system.
Work-Study Students also have aspirations. Optimization their career paths while conducting experiments, and it's not uncommon for them to hone their skills in the Laboratory for decades or even centuries.
The Work-Study Students present were able to advance through their own methods, but the experiment was not conducted using their methods. Instead, it involved directly advancing their Constitution by referencing the [Mana-Infinite Life Path]!
Commonly known as m.
If the promotion is successful, it's fine; at most, it damages the foundation. But if it fails, it's a complete disaster, and resources will be wasted.
"You come here."
The elegant girl pointed first at the most conspicuous Wang Fujian.
"I... I have class soon and can't teach."
Wang Fujian gestured to himself that he was busy with his studies.
"Me too."
Me too!
Everyone immediately signed up for the same course as Wang Fujian, and they all agreed.
The elegant girl remained expressionless.
"Then go to class. The student with the worst grade in this subject will come back as the test subject."
What kind of classes were you taking?
Cameron slowly reported his answer, replying as well:
"[Mana - Unorthodox - Infinitely Stackable Attribute Advancement]"
The elegant young woman immediately checked. "The new instructor's first course is disorganized and lacks structure."
"It feels like a low-quality, unqualified course."
