Wen Wubin is worthy of his reputation for being protective of his own people. Not only did he help Su Mu keep the Jiao Pearl, he also secured research funds for him - or perhaps it should be said that the funds for being researched?
What could Su Mu be dissatisfied with? He said readily, "Okay." Then he took out the dragon pearl from the school badge.
Before the old professor could speak, the assistant beside him was stunned after seeing the dragon bead: "Hey, why is this dragon bead red?"
The assistant had only been with the old professor for a short time and had never seen a real dragon pearl. Although there was a green dragon in the school, she had to have the courage and strength to provoke it. Otherwise, she would die before she saw the dragon pearl. How tragic that would be...
When Su Mu heard her question, he said, "It's dragon blood. I added dragon blood."
Unfortunately, neither the old professor nor his assistant got the point.
The assistant muttered, "No wonder it's so popular."
The old professor smiled and said, "It seems that Lao Wen is really good to you. Not only did he let you keep the dragon pearl, he also gave you dragon blood. Well, the dragon pearl plus the dragon blood are very effective for cultivation. You are really smart."
Su Mu wanted to say that it wasn’t because he was smart, but because this dragon pearl was spiritual enough, but in the end he held back and didn’t show off.
The old professor called several other experts and conducted a series of tests on the Jiaozhu.
Su Mu couldn't tell what tests they had done, he only knew that the instruments were covered with complex runes, and they were high-tech scientific research equipment. It was a pity that they couldn't be dismantled for research, and with his current cultivation level, he couldn't learn anything even if he studied them.
After some hard work, the experts and professors came up with a bunch of data and conclusions.
Su Mu curiously leaned over to take a look.
The experts and professors didn’t tell him to hide it from him, but unfortunately, it was full of professional symbols, like a hieroglyphic book, and was completely incomprehensible.
After the experts and professors finished their work, they returned the Jiaozhu to Su Mu.
It was the same old professor who came to contact Su Mu: "We have basically understood the situation of this dragon pearl, and now we are returning it to you. Thank you for your cooperation, and your reward will be directly issued to you through the task system later. You can leave now."
You're kicking me out after I'm done with it. Are you so realistic?
Su Mu felt like he was calling her Little Sweetie before, but now he was calling her Mrs. Niu.
But he still put away the dragon pearl obediently, and just before leaving, he asked: "Professor, what is the relationship between this dragon pearl and Yingyu?"
The old professor did not hide anything from him and told him the truth: "It is not clear yet, but after our research, we found that this fish is very different from ordinary fish. To put it simply, it has mutated or evolved. But we are not sure whether this happened on its own or because it got the dragon pearl. We need to study more."
"Mutation?" Su Mu was a little scared when he heard the word, and asked hurriedly: "Can this fish be eaten?"
The old professor laughed in silence: "You really cut off those two pieces of meat on the belly of the Ying fish? You are quite skilled with the knife, we almost didn't notice it. Don't worry, whether this Ying fish mutates or evolves, it is heading towards the direction of turning into a dragon, its meat is fine to eat."
"That's good." Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, the old professor then put on a stern face and said seriously: "Of course, based on the research results we have now, there is no problem. Whether this judgment will be overturned in the future, I don't know."
What the hell?! Su Mu was shocked. This means that the fish meat is not safe?
“Hahaha.” Seeing his expression, the old professor couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter. “I was just kidding you. Look how scared you are. You have Lao Wen protecting you, so what are you afraid of? Even if there is something wrong with Ying Yurou, he can resolve it for you.”
"Are you making fun of me?" Su Mu smiled bitterly.
You said that these old professors in our school, why are they all so dishonest? Could it be that after reaching a higher level of cultivation, their personalities will change towards innocence? Or, will they become more in line with their true nature?
"So is there any problem with the fish meat?" Su Mu asked. After all, he was not the only one who ate the fish meat. His friends and sister also ate it. Even if he didn't worry about himself, he would have to worry about them.
"Don't worry, it's okay." The old professor waved his hand, indicating that Su Mu could leave.
When he got home, the rewards had been delivered. In addition to the rewards for assisting in the research, the rewards for hunting and killing Yingyu were also received. After Su Mu asked Wen Wubin about the value of the Jiaozhu, he also transferred the money to the accounts of Gu Ranxi and others.
Fortunately, he had made a lot of money from the foundation-building cram school recently and had sold several succulent magic tools, otherwise he would have become penniless in an instant.
Another two days passed.
Su Mu completed and passed the most basic theoretical courses in four majors and was allowed to enter the next stage of study.
A new stage of courses has also appeared, but they will not officially start until the beginning of next month.
Su Mu took a look at the new curriculum. There were some theoretical courses, but there were also some applied courses.
For example, the "Diagnostics", "Anatomy" and "Basic Alchemy Recipes" of the alchemy major.
What Su Mu had studied before was "Normal Human Anatomy", but this "Anatomy" probably includes more than just humans.
Dingshi’s professional courses, such as “Food Processing”, “Basic Knife Skills” and “Basic Spiritual Food Cooking Skills”, are all application-oriented courses.
Especially the "Basic Knife Skills", which can not only be used to cut vegetables, but also for fighting, so you have to learn it well.
And according to the school's usual style, a seemingly insignificant course like "Food Processing" might actually be very useful!
What are the ingredients for spiritual food? In addition to spiritual plants, there are exotic beasts! So, does food processing include how to deal with exotic beasts? If you master this course, will you be more comfortable with exotic beasts?
The advanced courses in rune array studies are slightly inferior, and most of them are still theoretical, such as "Rune Structure", "Principles of Rune Array Construction", etc. Fortunately, there are also application courses such as "Basic Rune Drawing", which makes Su Mu feel a little better.
The advanced courses in the instrument repair major finally started to talk about the manufacture and maintenance of magical instruments, such as "Magic Instrument Design and Principles", "Material Forming and Processing" and "Principles of Basic Magic Instrument Production and Maintenance" and so on.
The textbooks for these courses will not be distributed until the beginning of next month, so Su Mu plans to go to the library to borrow all these textbooks and start studying in advance.
I am not only a cheater and a pay-to-win player, but also a hard-working player. I just want to ask you if you are afraid of me?
Anyway, he has already completed all the basic subjects, so he doesn't have to go to class during this period, so he can just study hard at home.
Su Mu completed the basic subject assessments of four majors so quickly, once again setting a record for Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University!
This record, however, was not as shocking as the fastest foundation-building record, so the impact it caused was not that great, but the teachers discussed it more.
However, it also caused some incidents - it is said that the night before, Wen Wubin was attacked by a group of masked men on his way home after completing an experimental project.
The final outcome is unknown.
Even the truth of this matter is difficult to distinguish.
Because the school's top management and department leaders have flatly denied the incident, saying that the school is very safe and such a thing could never happen, and that no outsider would dare to run into the school and commit a crime!
Although Wen Wubin was slightly injured, he said that it was not caused by an attack, but rather he was accidentally scratched while petting a cat or dog.
Just when people were wondering how he, who was so strong, could be scratched by cats and dogs, it was said that several old professors of Dingshi, Qixiu and Fuzhen who had accidentally fallen while walking were cursing Wen Wubin as a good-for-nothing and insulting them as cats and dogs.
After hearing that Wen Wubin was injured, Su Mu took Xiao Ye to visit him.
Wen Wubin's injuries were not serious. Rather than being scratched by a cat or dog, it looked more like he was beaten by someone. But since he said it was scratched by a cat or dog, no one dared to question it.
Wen Wubin was very happy to see Sumu and Suye coming to visit him.
While applying ice to the bruise at the corner of his eye, he said to Su Mu, "I heard about your learning speed, it's very good, I hope you can keep it up, but you can't lose quality just for the sake of speed, you have to learn fast and well. As long as you perform well, I'll be happy, even if I get scratched by many cats and dogs, I'll still be happy."
Su Mu originally wanted to ask about the real situation, but after hearing what he said, he stopped asking.
As long as you are happy...
And looking at Wen Wubin's condition, he doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage, and that's enough.
When Su Mu was about to say goodbye and leave, Wen Wubin pulled him aside and whispered, "The school has basically agreed to the factory building issue, but there is a requirement that the school must invest and take a stake."
Su Mu had no objection to the school taking a share, and was even quite happy about it.
Doing this is equivalent to having a big backer, so why not do it?
He nodded and said, "You can hold shares, but I have to be the absolute controlling shareholder. The school cannot interfere with my management and operations."
Wen Wubin said, "Don't worry about this. The school won't take a large stake, and it will definitely not interfere with your management and operations. If anyone dares to have this idea, I will fight back. And the school is not taking your shares for nothing. In addition to the venue, the school can also provide you with help in many aspects, including material supply, sales channels, and even business licenses, etc. After all, over the years, there are many cultivators who have graduated from the school."
"Thank you, Director."
"Don't thank me, this is all your own work. After your two articles passed the review of the Journal of Cultivation Studies, they attracted great attention from the school's top management. Otherwise, it would have taken a while for this matter to have a result, and it wouldn't be as good as it is now."
Finally, he added, "Keep going and write more good articles. Although this won't improve your cultivation, it will give you a reputation and status in the school and in the cultivation world, which is another kind of cultivation. With me here, you don't have to worry about anything else, just write boldly!"
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Director."
Su Mu's gratitude for Wen Wubin's care comes from the bottom of his heart.
This is a good teacher. Not only does he have high cultivation, ability and status, but he also protects his students.
Well, especially the last point, made Su Mu very satisfied.
