Celebrity Alumni Lecture

Lin Xiaoxi's blunt words dealt Cao Rui and Chen Tao a critical hit, inflicting tons of damage.

"Even if we're not exactly lookers, we're not ugly either!" The atmosphere plummeted to freezing point, but Mom stepped in with a smile to smooth things over, "Da Yao, you and your classmates haven't seen each other in a while, chat more. We'll take Xiaoxi to register and find her dorm." Li Yao nodded, and the two elders scurried away with Lin Xiaoxi, clearly trying to avoid the two beasts in the dorm.

Cao Rui and Chen Tao watched Lin Xiaoxi's departing figure, shaking their heads and sighing, "The girl's great in every way, except her mouth's a bit venomous."

Chen Tao pondered, "How did she grow up like this?"

How could she have such a sharp tongue and not get beaten to death? They looked at Li Yao, hoping for an answer.

Li Yao pondered for two seconds, then said, "Because she's good-looking?"

Cao Rui and Chen Tao exchanged glances, their fiery eyes reaching a consensus—kill this guy! Right now! At this moment, Zhao Shuisheng suddenly said, "Don't you guys think that little girl looks familiar?" Zhao Shuisheng's reminder made Cao Rui and Chen Tao thoughtful.

Soon, they thought of Lin Xiaowei.

And then...

The way they looked at Li Yao changed: "You animal!"

Not letting go of two sisters from the same family!

Li Yao rolled his eyes. He could guess what those two were thinking with just a fingernail. He didn't bother explaining and said casually, "Want the girl's WeChat?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The two beasts vividly demonstrated what "true fragrance" meant.

Li Yao pushed his luggage out, "Take it back to the dorm, and treat me to a meal!"

The meal cost over nine hundred, finally making up for it!

I, Li Yao, always get revenge! After ruthlessly fleecing the two beasts, Li Yao pushed Lin Xiaoxi's WeChat business card to them, selling out his best friend's sister with practiced ease. As for whether they could hook up with Lin Xiaoxi, that was another matter.

Freshmen had to undergo two weeks of military training, while old students like Li Yao had a much more leisurely time. Every year, the freshman enrollment season was their time to let loose. The entire campus was filled with the scent of hormones, with older students hooking up with younger ones, creating news and jokes every year—as the saying goes, life never stops, and neither does making trouble.

Li Yao was good-looking, so he was always the one being confessed to.

But he wasn't very interested in such things. In the past, Lin Xiaowei would help him fend off advances, but now that Lin Xiaowei was gone, many girls were starting to get restless. However, Li Yao didn't give them the chance.

I, Li Yao, am single by choice!

After returning to school, he commissioned a real estate agent to purchase a studio apartment near University City, fully furnished and ready to move in.

Proximity to the school was the only factor he considered.

The housing prices in the provincial capital were very high, and the prices near University City were even higher, nearly 40,000 yuan per square meter. Li Yao had spent over three million yuan some time ago, and now he had six million yuan left. After negotiating with the agent, he paid 1.9 million yuan in full.

After spending a week running through the procedures, Li Yao took out the items from his space ring and began his journey of alchemical cultivation.

This path was not easy.

Fortunately, neither the Cleansing Potion nor the Vitality Potion were difficult to refine. With Lin Xiaowei's initial assistance, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Before starting, Li Yao carefully read through the alchemy recipes and precautions, marking the more important parts for focused study. Once he had thoroughly understood the steps, Li Yao began to refine... Unsurprisingly, the first two attempts failed. The main reason for the failure was in the process of extracting the medicinal materials—the magical world's pharmaceutical equipment was also driven by magic.

At first, Li Yao thought that these medicinal materials with Spiritual Energy characteristics also needed to be extracted using magical devices.

But after two attempts, he discovered that this was not the case.

Some magical extraction devices could actually be replaced by equipment from Earth, such as centrifugal extractors... Magical devices required Mages to use their mental power to drive them, and it was difficult to grasp the precision without sufficient experience. In comparison, the extraction and synthesis equipment on Earth was much more user-friendly. Li Yao carefully compared the effectiveness of scientific and magical equipment and replaced some of the instruments.

And it worked quite well!

After five more attempts, he successfully refined two Cleansing Potions! In a room filled with draft paper and alchemy test tubes, Li Yao held up the Cleansing Potion to the window. The light green potion was slightly viscous, emitting a pungent, mint-like smell. Its liquid color and state were exactly as described in the recipe. He knew that he had succeeded! This was truly a case of if magic isn't enough, use technology!

But no matter what, success was success, regardless of the method used.

However, he didn't dare to use this potion directly on people, so he ordered two miniature pigs to test the medicinal properties.

It would take a week for the miniature pigs to be delivered, and during this time, he was focused on alchemy, paying little attention to the outside world. He almost never stayed on campus except for classes. Cao Rui and the others had looked for him many times in the dorm. If they couldn't contact him, they might have called the police!

After successfully refining the Cleansing Potion, Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief and decided to relax for a few days.

He left the apartment and returned to campus.

Strolling along the tree-lined paths of Southeast University, Li Yao's tense nerves relaxed, and his mood wasn't as gloomy.

However, he saw many students heading towards the auditorium with great interest. Was there some event at the school?

He stopped a girl who looked like a freshman and asked, "Hello, what are you all doing?"

The freshman girl who was stopped was a little nervous—

This young man is so good-looking!

She said with a blushing face, "It's Senior Li Shishi, she's been invited back to school to give a commencement speech. Many alumni are at the auditorium, and if you go late, you might only be able to watch the livestream. Does Senior want to go together? I have an extra ticket here." Actually, it was her roommate's, but if she doesn't sell out her roommate now, when will she?

Li Yao smiled and said, "Thanks, but I'm not really interested."

After saying that, he walked away on his own, leaving the freshman girl full of regret.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the fiery sunset lingered on the horizon, exceptionally magnificent.

He stood in a corner of the campus, watching and feeling, but a different feeling gradually arose in his heart... He was here, but the pattern in his heart was already different.

So these scenes that were usually taken for granted, even boring, became more vivid.

Li Yao wandered around for a while, preparing to go back to the dormitory, and happened to run into Cao Rui and the other two coming out of the dormitory.

Cao Rui: "Yo, Li Yao! You're here, let's go! Let's go to the auditorium!"

Chen Tao: "We haven't seen you for a while. Didn't you know? Li Shishi is here!"

These two guys grabbed Li Yao on the left and right and walked towards the auditorium, saying as they walked, "This Li Shishi is no ordinary person. She was originally a top student in the Medical Department, and later pursued postgraduate studies. During her postgraduate studies, she also obtained a degree certificate from the Business School. She's amazing! After graduation, she devoted herself to the biotechnology industry and founded a beauty and skincare company, which is very popular now! Her assets are almost hundreds of millions!"

Cao Rui chuckled, "Actually, Southeast University has produced many talented people, and her achievements are nothing. The key is that she's beautiful! She was a star figure at Southeast University when she was in school!"

Li Yao suddenly understood~ No wonder these two beasts were so excited.

Today shouldn't have been this late... but how can everything in the world be satisfactory? Thank you for waiting so long, I still hope everyone can give me collections, recommendations, and rewards. I, Timo, am greedy!
