78: Outrageous Lin Yan

Complaining is one thing, but he still had to sit on his “throne.”

Having secured the target, Li Wen had Yuan Wang enlarge and envelop the Mutated Ice Slime with its jelly-like body.

The scene was like blue ice cream being wrapped by green ice cream, except the difference in color area was vast.

Once the blue had completely disappeared, Li Wen made a move to recall Yuan Wang, but in reality, he did not.

Yuan Wang did not return to the Beast Taming Space; instead, it entered the Secret Realm along with the Mutated Ice Slime.

Directly bringing a pet into a Secret Realm under everyone's watchful eyes was indeed a bit attention-grabbing, and the origin of the Secret Realm space in Li Wen's hand was not exactly legal.

If exposed, he would most likely need to undergo an investigation. Although the outcome wouldn't be too bad, at such a critical juncture, it was better to avoid trouble.

Brother Lei was curious why the Mutated Ice Slime needed to be “devoured,” but out of the belief that everyone has their own secrets, he didn't ask.

Because of his misjudgment, the other people's Commander pets were severely injured. Therefore, Li Wen ultimately decided to create a breeding plan for each of the others' new pets.

After all this was done, the group was ready to rejoin the team.

They were still needed for the subsequent measurement tasks, and their pre-scheduled free time had ended.

Upon rejoining the team, the team leader, who was quite easygoing, didn't say much about their tardiness.

Li Wen quickly joined the subsequent measurement work. By around four in the afternoon, they had measured seven or eight sets of data, ultimately concluding that the water quality was indeed different.

The data point at the center of the plum blossom in each set, whether in terms of spiritual power or ice energy, was higher than other locations and significantly higher than the content in normal water.

The team leader was very happy because with the completion of this initial investigation, their academy could have more than ten related projects approved, which would bring in another sum of research funding.

Seeing the teacher so happy, the two third-year students decided to put on a show for him.

“Teacher Mo, look, Junior Li does things so cleanly and efficiently. Why don't you try to get him a recommendation for admission?”

The teacher's surname was Mo, and his name was Mo Congwen. He was a Grandmaster Breeder and indeed had a say in the Breeding Department of Nuclear Lion University, but his perspective was also different from that of students.

He habitually tapped the student's head lightly and chuckled.

“You said your junior was clumsy, but you also know he works efficiently. Do I still need to teach you?”

“This means he has been to research institutes, and probably not fewer times than you, otherwise this level of equipment wouldn't be allowed to be touched.”

Li Wen: That's really not the case. The teacher doesn't seem to care much about this stuff.

Lin Yan, besides his shamelessness, eccentric temper, disrespect for elders, and constant nonsense, was very dedicated to cultivating his students' professional Skills.

When he started teaching Li Wen and Lu Chen, he immediately began with the most practical machines, completely disregarding their cost.

In Lin Yan's own words, it was: “If it breaks, just find my teacher, which is Lu Chen's grandfather, to pay for it.”

“He definitely has a teacher, most likely from Haidu University, where Breeding is the ace major.”

After hearing such praise, Li Wen's face was indeed a bit overwhelmed.

“My teacher is... Lin Yan. Do you know him?”

Upon hearing the name Lin Yan, the previously happy face instantly froze, and he said with a hint of gritted teeth.

“Lin Yan? Lin Yan~ Lin Yan is good. This guy is indeed a genius, barely teachable. Since he's his student, I won't give too much guidance.”

Li Wen: No, teacher, what exactly did you do? Why are there legends about you everywhere?

“You know my teacher?”

The other party's expression of hatred didn't seem fake. When Li Wen said this, he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

But there's a saying, if a person isn't even interested in gossip, then living truly has no meaning.

So, though I may die, the gossip must be heard.

The other party stroked his beard and said seriously.

“Be careful of your teacher; he's capable of anything.”

He slightly raised his head, lost in nostalgic memories.

“Back when I first became a teacher, I took my most confident research achievement to participate in the Eastern Splendor Breeding Competition.”

“And your teacher, still a student, gathered a few classmates under his personal charm and ability to produce results on par with ours, competing with us for third place.”

“First and second, of course, went to Haidu University and Imperial Capital University, one an ace in Breeding, the other an ace in Combat, but all their departments were incredibly strong.”

“Among the prestigious universities, Tiannan is the only one that is a jack of all trades but master of none. For example, Imperial Capital's ace is Combat, Haidu's ace is Breeding, Lingdu's ace is Mechanics, Ancient Capital's ace is Archaeology, and Whale Island's ace is Secret Realm.”

“So, being able to compete for third place with a university like ours, which specializes in Breeding, was already a very good achievement.”

“However, this scoundrel, I don't know whose advice he heard, said that as long as our contestants were too sick to compete, third place would surely be theirs.”

“He went to the cafeteria and put laxatives in the food. And besides us, the finalists were all contestants from prestigious universities. They knew your teacher's habits very well.”

“Each of them brought their own food; no one dared to eat the cafeteria's meals. At first, I followed suit, but on the last day, I really couldn't take it anymore; I was starving.”

“As a result, he put in a heavy dose that day—three bottles of laxatives.”

“Three days! Do you know how I got through those three days? I didn't dare to leave the toilet by more than ten meters. I was so sick that my legs couldn't even stand straight.”

Grandmaster Mo said this with a look of indignation.

“And when he was caught, do you know what he said?”

“He damn well said it was because he didn't want to waste them, so he added all three bottles at once.”

Li Wen: That's outrageous. You deserved to be targeted.

Now Li Wen finally understood why the rules of the Eastern Splendor Breeding Competition had such an absurd regulation as prohibiting contestants from approaching the cafeteria kitchen.

But then again, this seemed to be a family tradition. He himself was “wanted” because of the title Tiannan Baixiaosheng, wasn't he?

“Grandmaster Mo, it's alright, these are minor matters.”

Grandmaster Mo: ???

Li Wen quickly waved his hand and explained.

“That's not what I meant.”

“What I mean is, when I get the chance, I'll invite the teacher to drink some 'detoxifying and beautifying tea' so he can experience it himself.”

Grandmaster Mo thought: “No, you're killing me with filial piety.”

But what he said was different: “That's good, I fully approve.”
