Li Yao wasn't interested in the so-called celebrity alumni lecture.

But Cao Rui and Chen Tao were too excited to let it go. They not only dragged Shui Sheng along, but also wanted to drag Li Yao with them. What could Li Yao do? He was also desperate to have such two animal roommates.

When they arrived at the Great Hall, it was already surrounded by layers upon layers of people. Cao Rui and Chen Tao were both cadres in the student union and had good connections, so they managed to squeeze into seats in the front row. Li Yao sat in the crowd and looked around, not seeing Lin Xiaoxi. He took out his phone and sent Lin Xiaoxi a message: "The Great Hall is lively, where are you?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "Dorm binge-watching."

Li Yao: "…So lazy?"

Lin Xiaoxi: "I, Lin the Millionaire, am feeling myself!"

Alright then.

Li Yao exited the chat interface with Lin Xiaoxi and found Lin Xiaowei's chat box at the top. Her avatar was still gray. It had been half a month, and Lin Xiaowei still showed no signs of logging in. It seemed that the operation back then had been a great burden on her. He wondered if it had left any bad effects.

While he was thinking, the hall burst into warm applause. A group of school leaders and some celebrity alumni came to the stage amidst the enthusiastic applause. What followed was a lengthy speech from the leaders…

This was simply a common problem for leaders in all walks of life.

Li Yao listened, feeling drowsy. He secretly took out paper and pen from his Space Ring and began to deduce alchemical formulas on it.

The refining of the Cleansing Potion had been completed, but he didn't know its medicinal properties and effects yet. The little fragrant pig would have to wait a few more days to arrive, so he had already begun to study the Vitality Potion. The Cleansing Potion, as the name suggests, was for removing harmful toxins from the body. Li Yao didn't understand the principle of its medicinal effects, but he just followed the formula.

He was just a potion synthesizer, so the workload was much smaller.

The Vitality Potion was a potion that could stimulate various systems of the human body, allowing the user's body to recover quickly.

It sounded a bit like overdrawing potential, and at first, it was indeed like that.

However, this potion was later improved by mages, who added many ingredients to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the origin. While the body rapidly generated various hormones and repaired cells, it would also replenish the consumption produced by the body, so it would not overdraw the body's potential.

While Li Yao was deducing the formula, the speech of the leaders on the stage finally came to an end, and the celebrity alumni that everyone was looking forward to also stood on the podium.

The lively applause was like a wave, coming one after another, and even Li Yao was affected.

He looked up.

His eyesight was very good, so he could see very clearly.

Li Shishi was really a very beautiful woman. At the age of twenty-seven or eight, she was very well maintained. Her skin was smooth and tender enough to pinch water out of it. Her temperament was gentle and intellectual, and under her soft and beautiful appearance was a confident and firm aura. Standing under the spotlight, she seemed to be really glowing.

Cao Rui was so excited that his heart was about to fly out: "When I graduate, I want to apply to Senior Apprentice Sister's company! I'm willing to work overtime until dawn to work with such a beautiful woman!"

Chen Tao said painfully: "It's okay even if I don't get paid!"

Li Yao pondered for two seconds and said, "President Li is very busy, can she be in the company all day?"

Cao Rui and Chen Tao pondered for a moment and said in unison, "Who is Li Wanji?"

Why is he occupying our President Li all day long! Li Yao: "…"

Zhao Shuisheng poked the two guys and said, "The speech has begun, keep your voices down."

Well,

Shui Sheng was the most honest.

How many of the boys who came here were here to listen to the speech? However, the venue quickly quieted down. Although Li Shishi's speech theme was clichéd, her words were humorous, playful, and firmly grasped everyone's attention. Of course, she was still good-looking, and everything she said sounded good.

Li Yao also listened for a while, but soon buried his head in deducing the alchemical formula again.

You don't say, learning really makes me happy.

Li Yao really felt that alchemy was very interesting. Limited by his knowledge and experience, he was still just a synthesizer, but he definitely didn't want to be just an alchemical formula synthesizer forever.

Immersed in the world of alchemy, Li Yao did not notice the changes in the outside world.

Li Shishi's speech had ended, and the school specially arranged a "Question and Answer" session, where students from Southeast University could directly talk to their idol Senior Apprentice Sister and answer questions. But each person could only ask one question, and the total was only ten.

This matter aroused the enthusiasm of the students, and a piece of arms was raised in the Great Hall.

Like a bamboo forest after rain.

Soon, a student got the microphone: "Senior Apprentice Sister, are you single!"

The venue burst into laughter, but many people still stared at Li Shishi with burning eyes, including not only boys, but also many girls—what's wrong with people now? Li Shishi smiled and said generously: "This classmate, you wasted an opportunity, yes, I'm single."

Next: "You are so successful, there must be many handsome men pursuing you, why are you still single? Or do you not like boys?"

Li Shishi: "Once you stand where I stand, you'll understand why."

Li Shishi defused the question with ease.

After two consecutive questions about her private life, the school realized that this couldn't continue.

The celebrity alumnus the school had invited was there to encourage the students, not for them to gossip!

So the following questions were consciously selected for students with excellent academic and moral character, and the questions became things like, "How did you achieve success?" and "What setbacks did you encounter in achieving your current accomplishments?" When it came to the last spot, the tutor selecting the microphone recipient searched through the crowd, and then her eyes were drawn to a dark, sturdy figure.

It was Zhao Shuisheng, a student nearly 1.9 meters tall, standing up and raising his hand, his tall and strong physique particularly conspicuous.

And his dark skin and simple, robust appearance were even more striking.

In fact, the tutor had noticed Zhao Shuisheng several times...

But for various reasons, she had overlooked him.

But for some reason, this time she felt a little guilty. He looked like an honest kid, so enthusiastic and eager every time, and it wouldn't be right to skip him again.

So, in a moment of impulse, the tutor handed the microphone to Brother Shuisheng.

Zhao Shuisheng: "???"

Suddenly receiving the microphone, Zhao Shuisheng was immediately dumbfounded:

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do? Why did they give me the microphone? I'm just a bystander egged on by my roommates... Brother Shuisheng held the microphone, at a loss, while Cao Rui and Chen Tao instantly entered old scheming mode, hiding to the side and offering bad ideas: "Brother Shuisheng, quickly ask her how old she is!"

"No, no, no, ask her measurements!"

Actually, they were just secretly talking nonsense. Honest Brother Shuisheng could never ask such a question, so he was very confused holding the microphone...

In his helplessness, Brother Shuisheng looked down and saw Li Yao hunched over, writing and drawing on paper, completely unaware of what was happening around him. So, he poked Li Yao with the microphone and said, "Li Yao, here's the microphone, you say something."

"Huh?"

Instinctively taking the microphone, Li Yao was very confused: "Say what?"

Wishing everyone a great Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard that reading my novel while eating mooncakes is even better, it must be so.
