In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
Although Su Mu asked for leave, he still attended the morning class because he was leaving in the afternoon.
When I got home after the class, I found that Xu Yue had actually come and was chatting with Su Ye in the house.
Su Mu hurriedly asked, "The teacher is here? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"
Xu Yue raised her head and said with a smile: "What can you do if I inform you in advance? Do something like lining up to welcome you?"
"That won't happen, but at least it will allow Caimao to prepare more meals."
Xu Yue glared at him and said in feigned anger: "So I came here just to eat for free?"
Su Mu knew that she was not really angry, so he was not in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Of course not, but since you are here at my home, I should host a banquet to entertain you."
Xu Yue finally couldn't hold it back, shook her head and laughed, "You are getting better and better at talking, kid. Okay, let's get down to business. I came here today to give Xiao Ye a protective magic weapon, and I've already given it to her."
When Su Ye heard this, he took out six protective magic tools without Su Mu asking him to speak. One of them looked very familiar to Su Mu. It was the fate doll he got from Wen Wubin last time.
In addition, there was actually a pistol.
"Isn't that too much?" Su Mu looked at Xu Yue.
Xu Yue explained: "Don't be fooled by the large number of items. These protective instruments are disposable and will be damaged after use. There is nothing we can do about it. The protective instruments that ordinary people can use are too limited. They are basically disposable. There are very few like your succulents. But although they are disposable, they are very defensive. You don't have to worry about this."
It turned out to be a one-time thing, no wonder so much was given.
However, with six disposable protective magic weapons, plus Cai Mao, Xiao Ai, and Amiya, Su Ye's safety was sufficiently guaranteed.
"As for this pistol, it is for Xiao Ye to use for self-defense. It has runes engraved inside and can be used by ordinary people with rune bullets. Its power is almost as strong as a first-level spell, but there are not many bullets, only six, so use them sparingly."
"Thank you, teacher." Su Mu said sincerely, but his eyes were fixed on the bullets, wondering if they would explode if he dismantled them...
Xu Yue waved her hand and said, "You have to thank the director for this. These are the paper awards he helped you get. I don't have that much power."
"I'll call the director right now." Su Mu said as he took out his cell phone and called Wen Wubin. Together with Su Ye, they expressed their gratitude to him.
"What are you thanking me for? These are the rewards you earned! Study hard, write your papers well, and you will get more rewards in the future." Wen Wubin said "you're welcome", but his old face was full of smiles because of Su Mu and Xiao Ye's thanks.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Wubin was still laughing: "These two kids are quite polite. I like such polite kids." As he was muttering, his phone rang again. But this time the caller was not Su Mu, but his friend Zhu Tao, the editor of the top academic journal of elixir, "Jindan Dadao".
This time, Su Mu did not submit his two papers on elixir to the "Journal of Cultivation Studies", but submitted them to the top academic journal of elixir, "Golden Elixir Avenue".
"I just gave him the article yesterday, and the review result is out already?"
Wen Wubin was a little surprised. Isn't this too efficient? It's so fast that it doesn't seem like a top academic journal at all! He was very familiar with the manuscript review process of "Jindan Dadao". First, it was reviewed by the editor, and then it was handed over to several experts in the expert group for cross-evaluation.
He himself is one of the reviewers of "Golden Elixir Avenue".
Confused, Wen Wubin answered the call and asked, "Editor Zhu, you called me because the review result of Su Mu's article has been released so quickly?"
"I didn't expect it to be so fast."
Zhu Tao's voice came from the phone. He sounded a little tired, but the surprise in his tone was no less than Wen Wubin's.
"I received the articles you sent me yesterday and forwarded them to several experts. Guess what happened? My phone was ringing off the hook this morning! Those experts didn't reply to their review comments or revision suggestions via email. Instead, they called me directly and praised the two articles to the skies! If I didn't know you well, and if I didn't stay up late last night to study the two articles over and over again and knew that they were indeed well written, I would have suspected that you, Old Wen, had paid off these experts."
Knowing that Zhu Tao was joking, Wen Wubin also smiled and said, "Even if I want to bribe those experts, I don't have the money. Don't you know me well? Every month, I hand over my salary in full to my wife, and at most I can get some pocket money. That little money, let alone buying off the experts, they won't even look at it."
"That's not necessarily true." Zhu Tao also laughed, "As far as I know, many experts are like you, dominated by their wives!"
After laughing, Zhu Tao said, "According to the feedback, there is no problem with Su Mu's two articles passing the review. The specific issue in which they will be published still needs to be determined through internal discussions."
After a pause, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I really didn't expect that Su Mu not only has a very in-depth study of the basic theory of cultivation and foundation building, but also has such a high level of attainment in the two fields of mastering the temperature of alchemy and the nature and taste of the elixir."
Wen Wubin was very proud: "Let me tell you, Sumu knows a lot of things, this is just the beginning."
Zhu Tao laughed in silence: "You are showing off again, but you have the capital, after all, you have taught a good student! Okay, I will let you know, I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't say more to you."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll treat you to dinner next time." Wen Wubin wrote a blank check, but it was unclear when it could be cashed.
Not long after he hung up the phone, the editor of the "Cultivation Academic Journal" called again to "demand accusations."
"Old Wen, you are so mean. Why didn't you give Su Mu's article to our "Journal of Cultivation Studies" instead of "Jindan Dadao"?"
Although he was held accountable, Wen Wubin was not unhappy at all, but very happy instead.
How many people have experienced being questioned by top journals about why they didn't submit to them? This is not a censure, it is clearly an honor! Wen Wubin only regrets that there are no colleagues from other schools at this moment. It's a pity that no one will read his pretense.
"It's mainly because Su Mu wrote an article about elixirs this time, and I thought "The Avenue of Golden Elixir" was more suitable, so I gave it to them." Wen Wubin explained.
"Why are they more suitable? Lao Wen, our "Journal of Cultivation Studies" is a general journal. As long as it is about cultivation, any article is suitable! Next time Su Mu writes a good article, you must give it to us. We have been cooperating with Su Mu from the beginning, and we have cooperated so many times, and it has been very pleasant..."
The other party appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, and almost said: We are her first love, the others' magazines are all mistresses, you can't be a scumbag and abandon her!
"Haha, next time Su Mu writes a good article, I will definitely consider you first. But as to which company to submit it to, I will definitely have to listen to Su Mu's opinion at that time." Wen Wubin was laughing so hard that he could hardly close his mouth.
The other party was very satisfied with this statement and immediately said, "Okay, we will wait for Su Mu's new article. I believe that our influence will not disappoint Su Mu."
The two sides exchanged a few words of business before hanging up the phone.
After the call, Wen Wubin felt like something was missing. He thought about it and realized that he hadn't shared this joy with anyone. So he opened WeChat and found a group he had joined when he attended the Danyi Exchange Forum held in Chengdu.
The people in that group are all experts and bigwigs who participated in the Chengdu Danyi Exchange Forum. Sharing this joy with these people is undoubtedly the best choice.
Soon, Wen Wubin sent a message in the group: "Su Mu's two new articles on elixirs will be published in the academic journal "Golden Elixir Avenue". Because of these two articles, I was criticized by the editor of "Xuan Academic Journal" and asked why I didn't submit the articles to them... Alas, sometimes, it is really hard to have an outstanding student." He also @ed everyone by the way.
Someone in the group quickly replied to the message. It was Qin Mao from Maoshan Xiuzhen University. He replied with two words: "Hehe." Then, he actually left the group!
What is this operation?
Wen Wubin was a little confused.
Before he asked Qin Mao a question, he saw people replying one after another in the group, and the formation was very consistent, because they all replied with "hehe". And after replying with these two words, they also followed Qin Mao and left the group.
Fuck, are you robots? Why do you all do the same thing? Also, you are going too far! I was kind enough to share my joy with you, but you did this. Where is your conscience?
Wen Wubin wanted to complain, but most of the people in this group have already left. The few who have not left probably haven't seen the message yet. If they see it, they will have to leave anyway.
This group is already in name only.
"Do you think you are the only ones who will quit? I will too!" Wen Wubin was so angry that he simply quit the group himself, then found Qin Mao's WeChat and wanted to question him. However, after sending the message, he saw a red exclamation mark and a reminder below: "The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party."
Wen Wubin was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "You actually blocked me? Qin, you are so cruel!"
When he sent messages to other people, he found that there were more than one person who blocked him...
Su Mu and the others had no idea what was happening here.
After having lunch with Xu Yue, Su Mu brought Xiao Ye to find Kevin and borrow his invisibility cloak.
After not seeing each other for a while, Kevin's strength has improved. Although he is not yet at the first-class level, he is not far away.
After hearing the purpose of the visit, he agreed readily: "No problem, my dear friend, I can lend the invisibility cloak to Xiao Ye. I believe that with her, we can complete our mission smoothly this time."
Su Mu was a little surprised: "You are going too? Senior Sister Gu also asked you for help?"
Kevin nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Sister Gu values my strength and asked me for help. This time we will fight side by side again. It is really something to look forward to."
Su Mu was thinking about something else: "I never thought that Senior Sister Gu could actually tolerate Kevin's nagging... She is such a tough girl!"
Since Kevin was also going to participate in this mission, the three of them, a cat, and two figures went straight to find Gu Ranxi.
Such a strange team attracted curious glances from many students along the way.
