Luo Yan ignored Shi Haoting's shouting and said coldly, "The 'Spark Agent' is a new drug you developed."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Shi Haoting exclaimed, "But don't worry, this drug is very safe. It just causes internal heat if you use too much, and it can also cause certain impulses."

Luo Yan frowned, "What kind of impulses?"

Shi Haoting chuckled awkwardly, "You know, male impulses. You get it."

"To enable the drug to temper Essence Energy, I added sunflower. Sunflowers have an aphrodisiac effect."

"And it stimulates a creature's primal urges."

Luo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was an aphrodisiac, not impotence.

If it were the latter...

He glanced at Shi Haoting's neck.

Hmm, fair and tender.

"In the future, new drugs must be disclosed," Luo Yan warned.

Shi Haoting quickly agreed.

Only then did Luo Yan let go.

Shi Haoting stretched his arms, baring his teeth. "Classmate Luo, you have quite a bit of Strength. How about it, the 'Spark Agent' works well, right?"

Luo Yan nodded. Aside from those inexplicable side effects, the 'Spark Agent' did work well.

"I want to redeem a few more bottles."

Shi Haoting spread his hands. "I've used up all the materials. You redeemed a lot this month; I can't even keep up with your usage."

"Because it's not mass-produced yet, the materials in the warehouse are not plentiful, and there are none in stock for now."

"However, if you cooperate with me on a report, and once the results are submitted and approved by the principal, it can be mass-produced, and you can redeem it anytime."

Luo Yan knitted his brows. "Cooperate how?"

"It's very simple."

"I need to collect a sample of your blood and urine for analysis."

"Then, for the next few days, come to me every morning on an empty stomach, and I'll conduct a few examinations with you," Shi Haoting said, rubbing his palms with anticipation.

Luo Yan thought for a moment. "No problem, but in the future, 'Spark Agent' should be provided to me first, and the redeemable academic credit should be a bit less."

"Deal," Shi Haoting immediately agreed. "I'll make a note of it. When Classmate Luo comes to redeem, it will only cost you 7 academic credits."

"No less than that, or it won't even cover the cost."

"Also, in the future, if there are new drugs, and Classmate Luo is willing to help me test them, they will be discounted for you once they are mass-produced."

"Of course, I will be responsible for your safety. I won't let you have any major issues, at least no life-threatening ones."

"On my end, sometimes I'll need some medicinal herbs. You can collect them when you're out on missions, and I'll buy them from you with academic credits."

Buying with academic credits...

This way, there would be another channel to earn academic credits.

Luo Yan nodded. "When testing new drugs, I should also get academic credits, otherwise I won't do it."

Shi Haoting's expression froze for a moment, then he chuckled dryly. "Alright, alright, Classmate Luo, you call the shots."

"So, the academic credits for testing 'Spark Agent'?"

"When the drug is mass-produced, I'll give you 20 bottles, how about that?"

"Deal!"

Exiting the Logistics Department.

Luo Yan thought of the cave in 'Misty Canyon' filled with 'Essence Gathering Flowers'.

It was a pity he couldn't get those medicinal raw materials out.

Otherwise, it would be a considerable amount of academic credits.

Should he find Captain Di for help? Let him be responsible for collecting and transporting, and he could earn a profit from it?

Luo Yan shook his head again.

If he did that, at most he would only have the merit of providing coordinates and information.

How much money could he get?

Just then, his vision darkened.

He looked up.

Someone was blocking his path.

One of them was very familiar; it was Yang Lixie, who had wanted to buy his academic credits before.

Luo Yan immediately glanced at his neck.

Yang Lixie suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

He touched his neck and said with a grin, "Classmate Luo, I'm just changing my medicine. Don't just focus on cultivating."

"Life needs some balance."

"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal outside of school."

"I'll introduce you to a few girls too, to spice things up."

Luo Yan was a bit bewildered.

A meal.

Girls.

He wasn't here to cause trouble?

What a shame...

Luo Yan didn't say anything and walked past Yang Lixie.

"Classmate Luo, why are you leaving?"

"Let's chat. I just want to be friends with you."

Yang Lixie called out from behind, "You don't like girls? That's fine, sexy older sister, intellectual mature woman, you name it."

"Classmate Luo, Classmate Luo..."

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yan was already far away.

Yang Lixie shook his head and said, "He's not swayed by women."

"Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed?"

"The protagonist."

"Definitely a Son of Destiny."

"See his ambition? Everyone should learn from him."

He reached out and put his hands on Zhang Hao and Fatty's shoulders, "Our classmate Luo came empty-handed, looks like he didn't get what he wanted."

"Go, find out what he wanted to exchange for."

"As long as it's available in Guangling City, I'll spend any amount of money to get it for him."

"One sentence."

"I've decided to be his friend!"

The next day.

The computer lottery ended, and the group lists were out.

Luo Yan was in Group Seven, meaning his competition would be on the fourth morning.

Coincidentally.

The Mecha his group would compete for was the silver Mecha 'White Dragon' that Luo Yan had once controlled.

Looking at the list again, he saw his classmates and some second-year students.

Among them, Yang Lixie was prominently listed.

Three days passed in a flash.

In these three days, six matches had already been completed.

Among them.

Li Bohang successfully advanced.

Even Zeng Shan, with great luck, managed to get a Mecha.

By the fourth morning.

It was Luo Yan's turn.

He arrived at the competition venue early.

A stage had been set up here.

The competition would be held on the stage in a free-for-all format.

Those who fell off the stage.

Those who surrendered voluntarily.

Those who lost consciousness.

Would all be considered defeated.

The last person standing on the stage.

Would be the victor!

Additionally, killing was not allowed in the competition.

The equipment used was also provided by the academy; all were blunt cold weapons that hadn't been sharpened.

He arrived at the lounge to find it empty.

Luo Yan then began to select alloy weapons from the rack beside him.

He had just picked up a dull sword whose length and weight were close to 'Star Splitter' when he heard the door open.

Then he saw Yang Lixie walk in.

As soon as Yang Lixie entered, he forced a smile and said, "Good morning, classmate Luo."

He then took a box out of his pocket and handed it to Luo Yan, "This is the 'Spark Agent' Teacher Shi rushed to make. He asked me to bring it to you."

"20 bottles, that should last you for a while."

Luo Yan was a bit surprised. Didn't Shi Haoting say he was short on materials?

How did he get the agent so quickly?

And 20 bottles at that.

But he didn't ask and accepted it.

Yang Lixie continued, "When we get on stage later, I'll surrender directly."

"I won't compete with you, classmate Luo."

"But you should be careful of one person, Wu Tiejun."

"His uncle is Wu Shimo. Do you know who Wu Shimo is?"

Luo Yan shook his head.

"Wu Shimo is the head of the underground city's security department. All the local security bureaus in our city fall under his jurisdiction."

"He's a big shot."

Yang Lixie lowered his voice and said, "Ever since the group list was released, Wu Tiejun has been threatening that anyone who dares to compete with him, he'll kill them."

"If you end up facing him, focus your attacks on his left side."

"That kid injured his left hand while practicing combat techniques recently and it hasn't recovered yet."

"So, his left side is relatively a weak point."

Luo Yan looked at the second-year student before him, finding it harder and harder to understand this person.
