Thesis Flooding, Research Level

If not for the fact that many Golden-Eyed Ones had undergone visible physical mutations in an extremely short period, scientists would have likely abandoned their research long ago.

How many elite scholars and genius scientists are there across the world's nations?

How much manpower, financial resources, and material investment have various political entities poured into related projects?

Yet their research results are zero.

Relying solely on Yan Anqing alone, even with exclusive experimental materials, what could he possibly discover?

Now...

Staring at the report before her, titled "Summary of Experimental Reports on Non-Human Golden-Eyed Lifeforms and Fuxi Cells," Jiang Xinyue instinctively covered her cheeks.

She felt that her youthful face had been thoroughly slapped by her own words.

At this point, Jiang Xinyue finally understood why Academician Zhao Hongyun valued lucky young people so much.

It actually made a damn lot of sense!

Yan Anqing wasn't a Golden-Eyed One; his body didn't bear those exaggerated anomalies.

But his perseverance and luck—mainly the latter—could no longer be described as merely "strong."

In Jiang Xinyue's eyes, he was the Child of Destiny, unmatched in fortune!

Jiang Xinyue felt her vocabulary was far too impoverished to fully articulate her current feelings.

However, one thing was certain!

Having read Yan Anqing's paper and its appendices, she dared to pat her flat chest and guarantee that the Superpower Cavity and Fuxi Cells were real!

"Senior, do you know..."

Looking at Yan Anqing's calm and composed demeanor, Jiang Xinyue's tone turned wistful: "In the future, you might be hailed as the 'Father of Superpowers' for discovering Fuxi Cells."

She wasn't stupid.

How flexible was a young person's mind?

Having been exposed to plenty of anime and novels, Jiang Xinyue quickly grasped the significance of this scientific discovery with a bit of thought.

Fuxi Cells meant...

Fifty times the energy storage efficiency, conversion speed, and output power of fat cells!

Their existence could help lifeforms break through their original shackles and transcend limits.

They were equivalent to Internal Force! True Qi! Chakra! Magic Power!

They were the cornerstone of the supernatural!

The beginning of Greatness Returns to the Individual!

If Fuxi Cells could be properly modified, smoothly implanted into the human body, and rejection reactions and non-human trait expressions avoided...

This world would be turned upside down!

"But Senior, directly submitting this report would put you at a big disadvantage."

Jiang Xinyue flipped through Yan Anqing's report, propping her cheek on her hand: "There's too much solid content here. Senior is really an honest person..."

"Just with what's here, if you padded it a bit, expanding it into ten papers would be more than enough!"

In Mojuke, researchers were also ranked by level.

Level 7 was the lowest, and Level 1 was the highest in the Digital Sequence.

Dongfang Zhi, who had previously recommended Yan Anqing to Yaoguang Section, was a Level 2 researcher.

Above Level 1 researchers, there were the "Special Grade" and "Academician" tiers, which were outliers.

The higher the title, the better the benefits, the more ample the research funding, and the greater the prestige!

If Yan Anqing followed his original plan and directly submitted this paper, even if the higher-ups liked him and valued him, at most they would only grant him a Level 7 researcher title.

There was no room for negotiation on that front.

Back when Yuan Lao discovered high-yield hybrid rice and saved countless lives, he almost failed to be elected as an "Academician" due to an insufficient number of papers.

Jiang Xinyue's words woke Yan Anqing up.

If she stepped in and padded this paper into ten, Yan Anqing could skip ranks and become a Level 6 Researcher.

Judging by Jiang Xinyue's expression, she seemed confident, fully assured about This Matter.

"I can't just do nothing and shamelessly claim the second author spot, right?"

"Leave this to me!"

Jiang Xinyue sat down beside Yan Anqing's desk, put on her small glasses, pulled out her tablet, and started tapping away like a coder.

As she padded the paper, she said, "Even though I can only expand it to ten papers and help you secure a Level 6 Researcher title, this report has deeper implications!"

"You're going to become famous, you know?"

"I feel like the big shots up top might package you as a science star! Ugh! You're so lucky!"

Jiang Xinyue was too excited and forgot to call him Senior.

Mojuke was highly efficient.

The next morning, Yan Anqing submitted the ten papers Jiang Xinyue had padded with water through the proper channels, and by that afternoon, he received the results.

All ten papers on the "Superpower Cavity" and "Fuxi Cell" were rated "Class A."

After conversion using the standard formula, Yan Anqing completed a splendid double promotion in rank.

From Mojuke Idler to Level 7 Researcher, then to Level 6 Researcher.

Rank, benefits, status, resource allocation—all elevated across the board.

Yan Anqing looked at the brand-new "Chinese Academy of Sciences Researcher" ID in his hand, his mindset perfectly calm.

This was just the beginning. In the future, he would gradually release more things that would shock the world.

Earth would eventually be twisted by him into a far more interesting shape.

Yan Anqing's name burst onto the scene alongside the ten papers, and for a time, everyone in the secret base was discussing him and his discoveries.

As for the second-named author, Jiang Xinyue...

No one paid her much attention.

People in the circle knew that the value of a second-named author was truly low.

Unless a parenthetical note was added, specifically stating "Names listed in no particular order, arranged by stroke count of surnames," otherwise, 99% of the honor for a scientific achievement fell on the first-named author.

Colleagues from Yaoguang Section and Mojuke came one after another to offer congratulations, and some reasonably attractive women—and even male comrades—hinted subtly that they were open to under-the-table dealings.

Yan Anqing made no promises and gave no indication of any stance, merely politely and properly brushing off this swarm of colleagues who had flocked to him.

Knock, knock, knock...

The sound of knocking came.

"Senior, it's for you."

Jiang Xinyue opened the door, and three men and women wearing senior researcher badges entered the room one after another.

All old acquaintances.

The seemingly refined, low-level schemer, Qu Li.

Dongfang Zhi, who had introduced Yan Anqing to Yaoguang Section.

Shang Yin, the mad scientist who had predicted the Solar End ten years from now.

"Congratulations. You're really lucky."

The first to speak was Qu Li.

He stared fixedly at Yan Anqing, his expression extremely complicated.

After a long pause, Qu Li said fiercely, "Remember, this is the best of times. The moment you slack off, I'll surpass you!"

Losing to anyone was fine.

But he absolutely didn't want to lose to this guy who had made a fool of him!

Qu Li's impression of Yan Anqing was constantly shifting.

At first, Xie Zhe always called Yan Anqing "Guardian of the Science God Cult," which made Qu Li unconsciously picture a brute with a head full of muscle.

Later, when they actually met, Qu Li thought Yan Anqing was a very lucky guy...

Good-looking face from his parents, decent temperament, and luck above average—a capable official from Yaoguang Section, worth recruiting.

At that time, Qu Li didn't immediately connect "Yan Anqing" with "Guardian of the Science God Cult."

When he realized the relationship between Yan Anqing and Xie Zhe...

When Yan Anqing shamelessly made demands to Academician Zhao Hongyun...

Qu Li's mentality exploded!

This shameless bastard Yan Anqing had already surpassed Xie Zhe's ranking on Qu Li's little blacklist, quickly charging into the "Number One Enemy" sequence.

A tree without bark is sure to die; a person without shame is invincible.

You often hear that saying.

But in real life, Qu Li had encountered someone like Yan Anqing for the first time...

The tactics he often used against Xie Zhe and other colleagues—if applied to Yan Anqing, they'd probably be utterly useless!

Qu Li had rehearsed hundreds of schemes against Yan Anqing in his head, only to reach a sorrowful conclusion.

This shameless bastard Yan Anqing...

Was truly fucking unstoppable!

To deal with someone like this, only an open scheme would work.

Use overwhelming momentum, use epoch-making research results, to crush him head-on!
