Chapter 35: The Beta Female Supporting Character in the ABO "Wife-Chasing Hell" Scene (Part 4)
"Teacher, it's configured. Please test it."
Professor Wen Yuqing was somewhat taken aback. Was her student's speed a bit too fast? It was almost as fast as some junior pharmacists.
The only question was how complete the finished product was. Professor Wen dropped two drops into the testing instrument, and the results came out a moment later: 80% complete. It was astonishing.
Professor Wen stared speechlessly at the exquisite and aloof girl before him. The second preparation method was quite complex, requiring extreme care in many areas to complete. Even the slightest mistake could easily ruin the potion, yet her student had managed to prepare it successfully on the first try.
Professor Wen even suspected that the machine might have malfunctioned, but this machine was just transferred from the research lab for the new students. The latest testing machine could not possibly make a mistake, so the student really did manage to prepare a reagent with 80% accuracy on the second try.
This person is destined to study pharmacy; it seems Heaven ordained her to learn pharmacy and carry it forward.
Professor Wen spoke again, his voice as gentle as could be, enough to give anyone goosebumps: "Luo Shu, you've done very well. You've completely mastered the preparation of this concentration potion. I'll send you a list of books you need to expand your knowledge on. Make sure you read them when you have time. I'll be checking on you from time to time."
Okay, all teachers are the same. As long as you don't die from studying, study like there's no tomorrow.
However, Luo Shu still had a question. She asked curiously, "Teacher, there are some points about the third technique that I don't quite understand, like these few places. What does this gesture mean?"
Luo Shu activated her personal terminal and displayed the gestures that Professor Wen had made during his explanation. She didn't understand what these gestures meant.
This is an era of highly advanced technology, where there is absolutely no magic system, but these gestures really do look like hand seals.
Professor Wen's gaze was somewhat profound, and when it fell on Luo Shu's face, it became even more complex. She hadn't expected that Luo Shu would notice so much during what was just a routine explanation.
She cleared her throat and said, "These are materials tanned using mental energy to increase the yield. In fact, everyone has mental energy. You should have heard this mentioned in your textbooks before. However, relatively speaking, the mental energy of an alpha is very powerful, while that of a beta or omega is much weaker."
She paused, then continued, "Some people, even those with only a tiny bit of it, still need to use mental energy in pharmacy, as well as in other scientific projects. This requires us to be able to use the mental energy within our bodies to perceive the outside world or manipulate external objects. That's why our school has a mental energy threshold requirement for the pharmacy and mecha manufacturing majors."
Luo Shu nodded. The minimum mental strength requirement for their two majors is C, which doesn't sound high, but for beta and omega, it's about one in a hundred. However, the interstellar population is huge, so there are a lot of students at this school.
"So the third configuration method requires me to mobilize my mental energy to complete it?"
"Yes, teacher, you have some information about mental energy tanning agents here. You can take a look."
After speaking, Professor Wen passed the materials to Luo Shu face to face.
"Okay, thank you, teacher. I'll look at the materials first, and I'll ask you again if I don't understand anything."
Professor Wen smiled, clearly pleased. She said in a gentle voice, "Okay, the teacher will cover this topic in the next class. Since you are progressing faster than the other students, you can preview this content beforehand. This will help you understand it better when the teacher explains it in the next class."
Luo Shu nodded, said thank you again, and then returned to her seat to look at the documents.
Seeing that Luo Shu had returned to her seat and was seriously studying the materials, Professor Wen clapped his hands, and through the loudspeaker, all the students in the class heard the applause.
They stopped in unison, their faces showing some confusion and curiosity as they looked at the teacher.
Professor Wen smiled and said, "Classmates, our classmate Luo Shu has already prepared a concentration potion that is 80% complete. Everyone should also make it carefully and not fall too far behind."
It has to be said, people become wise with age.
If the progress of a class is similar, some people may take chances and feel that it doesn't matter much if they try to slack off.
However, when a catfish appears among a group of sardines, the sardines are forced to swim harder; this is known as the catfish effect.
Wen Yuqing used Luo Shu to provoke the students, and the effect was quite good. Many students became serious, and you could even see the burning flames in their hearts.
Every student who gets to come to the Federal University was once a star student in school, someone others used to chase after. How can they be willing to accept being defeated by someone?
Upon seeing this, Professor Wen's smile became even more gentle.
The class started conducting experiments with great enthusiasm again, preparing a concentration potion. Hard work pays off, and a short boy with glasses also managed to prepare a concentration potion with a 40% success rate. More and more qualified potions were produced one after another.
However, whenever they successfully prepared a potion, after the professor announced that the finished product was acceptable, they would habitually glance at Uncle Luo. Seeing that Luo Shu, who was engrossed in the data, did not give them a single look, their expressions would invariably become somewhat gloomy.
Damn it, are we not worthy of Luo Shu's attention? We need to work even harder.
This society undoubtedly admires the strong. They don't think Luo Shu is arrogant; they just think they are not strong enough. As long as they are strong enough, that person will definitely notice them.
There was no way around it; Luo Shu's talent points were maxed out, and she possessed an unparalleled beauty that could topple empires. Her phoenix eyes, delicate eyebrows, and rose-colored thin lips captivated everyone's hearts, not to mention her long silver hair. Who wouldn't have been tempted by her?
I want this person to see me.
Then let's strive to become stronger.
The emotions of young people are passionate and pure.
Luo Shu was still studying the basic information on the mental energy tanning agent that Professor Wen had given her. She wasn't worried about her mental energy being too weak, but rather how to control her mental energy as much as possible.
Spiritual power is actually the manifestation of the power of the soul, and her soul power is too great. If she mobilizes too much spiritual power at once, her body will be damaged. She needs to carefully control the degree of her spiritual power.
A long class lasting two hours was almost over when a loud "bang" suddenly came from the corner where Luo Shu was sitting.
This explosion was much louder than the one caused by the student earlier; it seemed to shake the walls nearby.
Wen Yuqing walked quickly to Luo Shu's lab table. With such a violent explosion, was Luo Shu alright? Such a promising talent shouldn't be ruined.
The smoke from the explosion was completely drawn away by the ventilation system. The experimental table was also affected; some test tubes on the table were broken, but a huge black mark remained on the wall.
It was clear that the test tube had been thrown against the wall when it exploded. Luo Shu also crawled out from under the lab table. Professor Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Shu only had some ash on her head. It was good that she was alright.
It's important to understand that although technology is highly advanced now, not everyone wears protective gear all the time, and medical wards cannot treat people whose heads have been blown apart.
If Luo Shu had really perished in that explosion, it wouldn't just have been the loss of a promising talent; the Federal University would likely have faced attacks from the media.
The main reason was that Wen Yuqing didn't expect Luo Shu to cause such a serious experimental accident. The huge black crater on the special alloy wall showed the enormous power of the explosion.
"Teacher, I'm fine. I have another vial of medicine here. Can you test it?"
Luo Shu's voice was no different from before. She handed a vial of medicine to Wen Yuqing. Her hands were covered with various small wounds and exposed flesh and tissue from burns, which was quite horrifying. The test tube she was holding even had a chip in it.
Professor Wen's lips twitched. This student was quite an oddball. She took the test tube and put it on the stage for testing.
Luo Shucai slowly picked up the medical disinfectant wipes next to her and wiped the wound.
The classmates all stared intently at Luo Shu as she treated her wounds. Her ten fingers were long and slender, like warm and beautiful jade. The wounds on her hands looked even more ferocious on her smooth skin, like cracks on fine white porcelain, which was terrifying to behold.
However, her snow-white wrists constantly captivated everyone's hearts, making them want to see what stunning beauty lay beneath her slightly rolled-up white shirt.
After Luo Shu finished treating her wounds, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard throughout the laboratory. Her beauty was captivating, enough to bewitch anyone.
Professor Wen on the stage looked at the report given by the testing instrument with a stunned expression. How could this be?
Completion rate 95%
What does a 95% completion rate mean? It means you can get a guaranteed admission to graduate school in pharmaceutics.
This is just a student's first time using a potion. Is there really someone with such terrifying talent?
Professor Wen couldn't help but have some doubts about his past life. After so many years of accumulation and learning, he could only achieve a maximum success rate of 98% in preparing this calming potion.
She's determined to have this student; even gods and Buddhas can't stop her.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
"Alright, class dismissed. Luo Shu, come with me for a moment."
The classmates thought they could go to the cafeteria with the beautiful girl, and sitting in the same cafeteria would practically mean eating together, right? But unexpectedly, Luo Shu was called away by the teacher. Waaah, let's take them with us to the beautiful girl.
"Luo Shu, please sit here for a while. The teacher will be right back."
After arranging for Luo Shu to sit down in her office, Wen Yuqing went to the conference room next door. Several professors of pharmacy were already there, seemingly waiting for Wen Yuqing.
"Please take a look at this test report."
Wen Yuqing sent the final test report of the mind-controlling potion that Luo Shu had made to the personal computers of the professors present. When the professors saw the test report, their expressions turned serious. Clearly, Professor Wen had sent them the "outstanding deeds" of Luo Shu on the way here.
One of the professors, with graying hair, spoke first: "Is this the student you were just talking about? Is this her first time preparing a potion?"
Wen Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "No, the third time. I'll send you the test reports for the first two times now."
The professors were speechless upon receiving the reports. This was the first time they had prepared a drug, and all of them were masters of medicine. They could easily tell that the two reports showed the finished products prepared using different methods.
“Xiao Wen, this child is exceptionally talented, a rare talent in our pharmacy field. I can make an exception and let her enter my laboratory to study.”
A kind old lady smiled and said, "Such a promising talent, of course we should grab him first."
Wen Yuqing did not reply to the old professor, but instead dropped another bombshell: "I did not teach this student the method of guiding mental power, and she concocted this potion on her own without any instruction."
"What? Are you sure? Xiaowen, this is no joke."
"Professor Wen, you must be joking."
"Professor Wen..."
In an instant, the conference room became incredibly noisy, with each professor expressing their shock. If a student had concocted such a highly refined concentration potion during their freshman year, the professors present would have been surprised, but not so flustered.
Every year there are always one or two exceptionally gifted students. Which of the professors here wasn't a brilliant student in their youth? But if someone can comprehend and utilize spiritual power on their own without guidance, that's just too outrageous. This is unprecedented, and there may never be another like it.
"Xiaowen, are you sure?"
The one who spoke was an elderly professor with white hair and beard sitting at the head of the table. He was also a level 10 potion master and could be called the jewel of the Federation.
"I'm sure."
At this moment, Wen Yuqing also became serious, and her body trembled slightly with excitement.
Why? Because every pharmacist who studies pharmacy wants to promote and develop this discipline. But for far too long, no exceptional talent has emerged in their field.
Unable to break through and stagnant, pharmacists faced a dilemma, but Luo Shu's appearance gave them a glimpse of a different possibility for the future.
“Good. If this student is really as Professor Wen said, then we, the entire pharmacy department, will do our utmost to teach her.”
The old professor's words carried great weight. Luo Shu possessed a vast spiritual sense, and she heard everything they said. She was delighted. Her attempt to portray herself as a prodigy was simply to attract the attention of a pharmacy expert, enabling her to study more deeply, obtain core information, and realize her dreams.
"But let's test her mental strength first. Since she can mobilize her mental strength on her own, her mental strength level should be quite high."
The old professor's thinking was prudent, since mental strength level is closely related to the ultimate achievement.
Professor Wen also suppressed his excitement and replied, "Okay, I'll take her to test her mental strength level right away."
Several other professors also said they wanted to go and see for themselves, to join in the fun.
When the group stood in front of Luo Shu, they all looked at her with smiles and affection.
Luo Shu remained calm and greeted the professors, displaying a remarkable composure that made her even more admirable.
Professor Wen's office had a mental strength testing device. Five or six professors were gathered around the device, watching Luo Shu being tested. An ordinary person would definitely be extremely nervous, but Luo Shu remained calm and composed.
Following Wen Yuqing's instructions, she channeled her spiritual energy into the machine. The scale representing spiritual energy crossed the C mark, broke through B in one breath, entered A, and reached the highest A+, the very top, before being forced to stop.
what does that mean?
A+ is the limit of the machine, not Luo Shu's. This is truly a blessing for pharmacy.
Several elderly professors with gray hair were as happy as children. From this day forward, their glorious era in pharmacy had begun.
Luo Shu smiled slightly, her smile as bright as the spring sunshine in March. From today onwards, she was one step closer to her dream.
