176: Commoner's Divine Pet
However, things did not unfold as Li Wen had anticipated.
He had initially thought he would be discovered on the spot, then unceremoniously driven away, followed by a satisfying display of feigned weakness leading to a dramatic face-slapping scene.
But the reality was that the flight was unusually calm, passing over an hour without incident.
A bored Li Wen even drifted off to sleep, as the journey was simply too monotonous.
When he opened his eyes again, the familiar face of Lin Yan greeted him; Lin Yan had woken him from his dream to tell him the plane was about to land and it was time to prepare for disembarking.
It must be said, the elderly truly have more energy! A young person like Li Wen who doesn't sleep on a plane is 'that' kind of person.
The two walked together towards the area where some experimental materials, transported in advance by high-speed rail, were stored.
As they walked, Lin Yan finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked,
“I say, good student, what kind of novel thing are you researching?”
Li Wen continued to stride forward without turning his head, responding with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
“This afternoon, each school will select the research results to participate in the competition; then you'll naturally understand.”
Hearing this reply, Lin Yan nodded helplessly, indicating his acceptance.
In his heart, he knew that this experiment had been almost entirely completed independently by Li Wen, and he himself hadn't even provided a related topic.
Therefore, it was understandable that Li Wen was unwilling to explain it to him in detail right there.
However, this was not the case; in reality, Li Wen had not yet formed a clear idea of how to present his experimental results.
He had always been accustomed to hastily creating a PPT at crucial moments to meet presentation needs, but now even this most basic preparatory work—creating a PPT—had been completely forgotten by him.
After much thought, Li Wen decided to simply improvise on the spot.
The main reason he refused to explain it to Lin Yan alone was his concern that the other party would hear two completely different versions.
After all, if one version was told to one person first, and then another version was told to others later, it could easily lead to unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding.
When they arrived at the temporary laboratory together, the first thing that caught their eyes were several large, completely sealed barrel-shaped objects.
In addition, some pet beasts could be vaguely glimpsed in the corner of the laboratory. These pet beasts varied in appearance; a rough count revealed at least ten different species.
However, they shared one significant commonality: they all belonged to common Wood attribute pet beasts.
And, without exception, they all appeared in their second-stage form.
This sight truly puzzled Lin Yan; for a moment, he was completely at a loss, unable to guess the necessity of it all.
Originally, when he saw those large barrels, research projects related to production immediately came to mind.
Combined with the Wood attribute pet beasts and the fact that they were all in their second stage, Lin Yan could initially barely infer that it might be about pet beasts assisting in production.
But as he observed more deeply, more and more doubts gradually surfaced, making this seemingly simple conjecture increasingly untenable.
