Jia Xiu spent more than two hours memorizing all the Flame Arrow spell code in the Little Black Room.
With trembling hands, he even fine-tuned the timeline and checked the states at several other points in time.
He wasn't sure whether he had truly recorded the entire process in full, but he had done his best. Conservatively speaking, what he had noted down should be enough to keep him researching for at least several months.
Jia Xiu exited the Little Black Room and rubbed his dry eyes, strained from staring at tiny coding symbols for so long.
His vision was a little blurry.
He fumbled around the table for eye drops.
He had always kept eye drops on hand. After all, his old job had involved staring at screens for more than ten hours a day.
The eye drops in the laboratory were premium goods—a gift sent by Holy Son Jacob. Supposedly, they had been blessed by Holy Light or something, and the bottle even seemed to be set with gemstones. In any case, Jacob had sent them as "a gift proving the friendship of fighting Devils together, shoulder to shoulder."
Because they looked outrageously expensive, Jia Xiu had struggled for a while over what gift to send in return.
He couldn't exactly give the Holy Son a set of little toys.
In the end, after racking his brains and weighing the matter again and again, Jia Xiu gave a return gift with little direct economic value but unmistakably academic flair.
He read every paper Jacob had sent him, then helped the Holy Son find a highly promising research direction related to blessings, while also helping resolve some of the key issues.
If all went smoothly, the Holy Son should be able to graduate from Holy Light Divine Academy two
