"Senior Rui Xi actually invented the Lie Detector?!"
"Yes," Meng Yu answered for Rui Xi Fan. "Rui Xi is practically good at everything. You could say he secured a spot as a [Five Good Student] long ago. But with his powerful family background, he's used to taking steady, measured steps, so he waited until senior year to enter the selection with us."
Man Gongxue nodded slightly as well. "That's right. Although I rank first in research points among the seniors, I don't quite live up to that distinction. Everyone knows Rui Xi is the finest research talent in our year."
Qin Siyang was utterly amazed.
"Developing a Tier-Four God-Hunting Artifact is still something I can wrap my head around. But inventing the Lie Detector? How did you even invent that?"

If you want an equivalent to his invention of the Lie Detector, it should be inventing a Tier Four Artifact. As far as I'm concerned, Rui Xi is already at the very pinnacle of research in the Safe Zone."
Rui Xi shook his head. "You're exaggerating, Meng Yu. It's only a Lie Detector. It falls far short of Professor Zhong and Professor Guan inventing the first Tier Four Artifact in the Safe Zone."
