Mei Feels the Pressure

"It will be fine in a while, the numbness won't last long."

Seeing their reactions, Mei nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

After a short while, Kevin and Sue were able to move their mouths with difficulty.

"I feel like... the two of us are actually affecting her, aren't we?"

"... I second that."

Mei returned to her tent.

"Alright, Doctor, the junior students have quieted down," Mei said with a faint smile.

"..."

You're so quiet...

Liu Bai wasn't truly unaware of what Mei had taken out, but regarding Mei's handling of the situation... it seemed that Mei, as her senior sister, was now firmly in her position.

It's estimated that today's incident will leave Kevin and Sue with a psychological shadow called "the senior's authority."

"What do your junior brothers think?"

"I think it should be a 100% positive review rate."

"... When did you become so cunning?"

"Huh? Me? Did I?"

... Absolutely.

"I was just making a reasonable deduction... Even if they ask me later, they'll most likely think I was right."

Yes, the psychological trauma is almost permanent. How dare they say you're wrong?

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Giving them a little lesson won't hurt."

Liu Bai decided to skip this topic.

"By the way, what were you trying to say earlier?"

"Um... it's nothing now."

Mei hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.

After what just happened, the original atmosphere vanished without a trace.

The prepared lines are probably useless to say now.

"Then let's do a quick workout and go to sleep."

"Understood, Doctor."

The three-day training ended quickly. While gaining useful weapons and making significant progress, Kevin and Sue also came to understand the meaning of their senior sister's authority.

Meanwhile, you and Mei spent three leisurely days camping, although Mei seemed a little disappointed—but that obviously had nothing to do with you.

[Mei & Kevin's compatibility +30%]

During the remainder of the holiday, Mei began preparing for her upcoming thesis, while Kevin and Sue sensed a growing sense of urgency and intensified their training.

Not long after, Mei, Kevin, and Su entered high school. Subsequently, Kevin transferred to the Chiba Academy in ChangKong City with his family.

Because the Husky and Border Collie were separated, Sue and Kevin finally got to use their brains properly, which made things much easier for you.

One day, Kevin broke his sword during training and came over to you, all smiles, calling you his godfather and asking you to fix it—only to be kicked away by you.

Okay, is it possible that Kevin isn't using his own brain, but yours?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

This is the kind of thing only a husky could do!

I'm completely rational, aren't I?

After being kicked out by you, and after a long internal struggle, Kevin finally made up his mind and had to muster the courage to approach Mei under the guise of "an older sister is like a mother"—a senior sister is still a sister!

[Because she was in a good mood after learning about Kevin's previous "once a teacher, always a father" slogan, Mei immediately helped him repair the Electromagnetic Sword.]

This success made Kevin feel like he had discovered some incredible secret.

[Mei & Kevin's compatibility +10%]

This brat just deserves a beating...

Fortunately, campus life remains peaceful, and you and Mei are methodically preparing for potential future crises.

You once tried to get Su Ye to transfer to your school, but due to family and other reasons, this idea was ultimately shelved.

Not long after, Kevin asked you for leave from class—his excuse was to go to Eden's concert.

Although you shouldn't agree from a moral and logical standpoint... it's Eden's concert after all, a rare opportunity, so you casually dragged Mei along to attend the concert.

Kevin tactfully separated the seat tickets—by the way, Sue was there too.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh—!" ×2

"Those two guys..." Mei looked at the two people on the other side who stood up and cheered enthusiastically, and couldn't help but facepalm.

"This is the first time I've heard that these two guys are actually fans of celebrities. With these two fans, I really don't know whether Miss Eden on stage is unlucky or lucky."

Although they might be considered idiots... Mei still has high hopes for the potential of her two junior brothers.

Moreover, despite her complaints, Mei only grumbled a few times, but didn't express any real dissatisfaction, considering how sensible Kevin was this time.

"Um... Doctor, are you there?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"How about we come listen again next time... if there's a chance?"

"Hmm... if there's a chance."

The implication is that he agreed.

Mei couldn't help but smile.

Although it's a concert now, and you don't have to wait until next time to do whatever you want, but...

Mei glanced at Su and Kevin, who were clearly die-hard fans.

Although Kevin and Sue had a bad impression of her, didn't she also have a bad impression of those two?

I feel like if I do anything even slightly, these two guys will come and ruin the atmosphere.

However, considering Kevin's sensible behavior this time, Mei said she would tolerate it.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities, so there's no harm in waiting for the next one... I just hope those two guys don't show up then.

Hmm... I hope so.

Kevin's compatibility +10%, Mei's compatibility +15%

[After the concert, Mei's paper on Quantum Mechanics was published. Given Mei's current level of expertise, this paper caused a sensation in the academic community. Subsequently, Mei received an invitation letter bearing the name Mobius.]

"Mobius ...isn't she a biologist?"

Mei, who has always paid close attention to the academic community, is no stranger to Mobius, a scholar who can be called a leader in the field of biology.

But... she clearly published a paper on Quantum Mechanics!

What does this have to do with biology?

"Maybe it's just a matter of valuing talent; after all, not everyone is willing to send an invitation to an academic conference to a high school student."

Liu Bai said with a light laugh.

Chapter 122 Mei felt the pressure

Liu Bai wasn't actually surprised that Mobius had sent Mei an invitation.

In most respects, Mobius was very broad-minded and generous in nurturing those she admired. Moreover, her personality and abilities allowed her to disregard outdated and rigid rules.

"So, get ready, Mei, you should cherish this opportunity."

"I see."

Even if Liu Bai hadn't said anything, Mei would have had no reason to refuse the invitation.

Despite the doubts, academic seminars are still a good thing.

But then again...

"Doctor, do you know Dr. Mobius very well?"

For some reason, Mei had this intuition.

As for the basis... there isn't one; Mei herself can't find any basis for this speculation.

If I had to put it into words, it would be a woman's intuition.

"Of course, I was reading scientific journals when you were sleeping as a child, and this PhD appeared quite frequently in them, so I have some knowledge of him."

Liu Bai casually told a lie, neither warm nor cold.

"I see... Now that you put it that way, I'm actually less willing to go."

Mei said half-jokingly, "I heard that Dr. Mobius is a voluptuous widow. Doctor, don't let yourself be bewitched—although she still misses her late husband."

Do I look like the kind of person who gets lustful at first sight?

Liu Bai said irritably, "The term 'deceased husband' really has a lot of Mobius's twisted sense of humor... although considering his current 'ghost' state, calling him 'deceased husband' doesn't seem so wrong..."

That's so wickedly funny...

"Of course not—so this is just a joke." Mei smiled. "As a senior in scientific research, I would also like to meet her once."

"Hmm... I understand."

I'm going to see Mobius again...

Liu Bai thought to himself, somewhat inexplicably, that although it was only two or three days in real time, it had been more than six years in the time it had actually been.

Now that you mention it, I do really want to, but Liu Bai doesn't plan to reunite with Mobius at this time.

After all, Mobius's personality is rather troublesome in some ways...

There is a need to avoid conflicts to some extent, although such conflicts are generally based on observation.

As long as Liu Bai doesn't observe himself, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The best time for Hua to reunite with Mobius is undoubtedly after Hua leaves the headquarters of the Moth Chasers to Fire, at which point there will be virtually no risk of self-observation.

Mei was clearly unaware of Liu Bai's many thoughts and immediately got to work, starting to prepare for the upcoming academic seminar.

As for the school's permission to take leave, there's no need to worry. Only someone with a screw loose would refuse such leave—besides, Mei completed high school courses in elementary school.

Half a month later, Mu Continent

"They're all heavyweights..."

Mei, being a high school student, still seemed a little reserved in this situation.

After all, the academic conferences in the Mu Continent are world-renowned, and those qualified to participate are all top-notch figures... Among them, only Mei is a high school student with "no influence and little influence".

It's normal to feel uncomfortable; not everyone has a personality like Mobius.

To be honest, he really didn't know what it was like when Mobius first attended this academic seminar.

"Relax, there are some people here who aren't necessarily as good at physics as you."

Planck began teaching Einstein when he was ten years old, and continued teaching him until Einstein was sixteen and had achieved great success.

He started teaching Liu Bai when he was ten and continued until he was sixteen. Now, he's probably on par with Einstein, right?

With top-tier talent, top-tier teachers, and top-tier self-discipline, if Liu Bai can't teach Mei to the level of Einstein, he's truly wasting Mei's youth.

So Mei knows she's strong in physics, but she doesn't know just how strong she really is.

In a true theoretical contest, Mei alone could overwhelm a large group of physicists present—even though many of these scientists were more than four times Mei's age.

... It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.
