Hearing his words, Lu Yuan looked up, downed his drink in one gulp, and put down his chopsticks: "Alright, I've got nothing better to do anyway, I'll go with you to take a look!"

Professor Wu didn't waste any words, and without even bringing the wine beside him, he picked up the test report and headed back towards the underground research lab.

When the guards saw Professor Wu, they all greeted him. Professor Wu simply waved for them to pass. When they tried to stop Lu Yuan, Professor Wu glared at them, and they immediately stopped talking and let him through.

Upon arriving at a spotless testing center, Professor Wu placed the silkworm cocoon he was holding onto the hardness testing machine. First, he pulled a silk thread from the cocoon and placed it on the machine. After a series of tests, the results came out quickly.

He was stunned when he saw the test report. He had never imagined that there were things in the world that contradicted the true theory. This almost caused the theory he had built up over decades of research to collapse.

"Let's test its resilience again. I refuse to believe it!"

Professor Wu then took the silkworm cocoon to the toughness testing machine again and conducted a series of tensile tests. He once again found that the cocoon's toughness exceeded that of most materials. Finally, when the difficulty level of the toughness test was set to the highest, the silkworm silk broke on the last test.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible!" Professor Wu's face lit up with excitement. His hands trembled slightly as he looked at the silkworm cocoon in his hand. Then he found a box next to him, placed the cocoon inside with great care, and wrote a bunch of numbers on it.

"You...you're called Lu..."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "My name is Lu Yuan!"

"Oh, Lu Yuan, how about this, do you have time tonight? Let's talk about this material?"

Lu Yuan then slightly felt that the other party was paying attention to him. However, considering that he had just been humiliated by the other party, he decided to tease the old man a little.

He yawned and covered his mouth, "Oh dear, I've been busy for two days and haven't had a chance to pay attention. I'm so tired. The environment here is so comfortable, I'm almost sleepy. Professor Wu, how about we talk again tomorrow?"

Professor Wu's face twitched slightly. He knew, of course, that Lu Yuan was doing this on purpose. He was about to lash out when he realized that if they could get their hands on this material, it would definitely be of great help to their future endeavors.

He gritted his teeth and said to his assistant, "Arrange better accommodations for Lu Yuan and his friends!"

The bespectacled man quickly went to do his work, while Lu Yuan followed him back to the camp with a smile. When he saw the bespectacled man again, he was already somewhat obsequious.

Seeing Lu Yuan's smug expression, Xiao Shan quickly came over and whispered, "Did you succeed? Why do you look so proud of yourself?"

"Hehe! Of course I'm smug! That old man was really asking for a beating. I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine and letting him know just how miserable it is to wait for someone! Let's leave him hanging for now and let him reflect on his actions. Now we're going to sleep!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Xiaoshan's neck, which earned him a glare from her.

When Lu Yuan spoke, he didn't try to hide anything from the bespectacled man next to him. Although the man had a smile on his face, there was a bitterness mixed in with it.

He knew what kind of person Professor Wu was, and in fact, he disliked the old man to some extent. However, he had indeed learned a lot from following the old man. Now, hearing Lu Yuan not shy away from him at all, and even say what he wanted to say, made him feel somewhat pleased, but he also felt that doing so was inappropriate.

So he quickly changed the subject and arranged for everyone to go to the high-end accommodations in the underground research lab to rest.

Lu Yuan and the others ate some dinner again, and then slept straight until eight o'clock in the morning before he woke up groggily.

"Wow, I slept so well! What time is it?"

Xiao Shan looked at him with a depressed expression, then held up her phone to show him the time.

"Wow, it's already 8:30! Let's eat something first!"

Xiao Shan was a little worried, and walked over and said softly, "Why don't we go find Professor Wu first? He arrived at four o'clock this morning and has been waiting for you for four hours. That's enough!"

Lu Yuan smiled, a very happy smile. This old man Wu had actually arrived at four o'clock, which showed how much he longed for his material.

So he rinsed his mouth slightly, washed his face, grabbed a piece of bread from the bedside, stuffed it into his mouth, and walked toward the living room.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan emerge, Professor Wu quickly went to greet him.

"I don't know if you've rested well? If you have, let's talk about the problems with this cooperation!"

Lu Yuan checked the time and sat down on the sofa next to him: "Of course, Professor Wu, please tell me how we plan to cooperate!"

In fact, the night before, Professor Wu had been working in his office researching collaborative methods. He hadn't slept all night and had already drafted a collaboration plan by 4 a.m., fearing that Lu Yuan might not agree to the collaboration, so he offered Lu Yuan many benefits.

After finalizing the cooperation plan, he rushed to Lu Yuan's residence, only to find that Lu Yuan was still fast asleep and showed no sign of getting up. So he canceled all his work and waited there, but ended up waiting for four hours.

When Professor Wu saw Lu Yuan again, he wanted nothing more than to go up to Lu Yuan and kill him. It was simply too much!
