The next morning.
Feng Qi was awakened by the ringing of his phone.
Feeling around, he picked up the phone from his bedside and looked up, only to discover that the call was from Bai Fusheng.
After answering, Bai Fusheng's aged voice came through the phone:
"The Ministry of Education's approval just came through."
The moment he heard that, all traces of sleepiness vanished, and he immediately asked:
"What was the result?"
"It was approved. The Ministry of Education said that while it won't provide you with financial support, it will allow you to conduct virtual technology research and development within Star City Academy. It will also provide support with workspace, accommodation, and meals."
Although he had already been prepared for it, hearing the affirmative answer still made him unable to contain his excitement.
"Thank you, Master. You've helped me immensely."
"No need to thank me. The higher-ups have been paying close attention to you lately. This approval also has a lot to do with you personally. After all, you earned the Silver Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Humanity at such a young age."
"Besides, several of your Cultivation Methods are still undergoing registration and testing. The higher-ups think highly of your chances of earning the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution. Also, Vice Minister Liu of the Ministry of Education specifically called to ask about you recently. He asked me to persuade you to focus on Cultivation Studies and not waste your talent."
Feeling pleased, he immediately replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, Master. I won't neglect my Cultivation Studies research. I explained it to you in detail yesterday. If virtual technology succeeds, its impact will be far greater than creating a Five-Star Technique."
"As a genius, I need to grasp both, and produce results in both fields."
