173: Research Institute Wars!

The people from the Magic City were clearly very excited.

Because they were considered to be ahead of everyone else.

After the ranking of Martial Arts.

Then various Martial Arts could be produced artificially.

Whether in terms of profit or the future of Great Xia, it was a huge benefit.

However.

Captain Ye quickly poured cold water on them;

"At this stage, stop trying to write down Martial Arts from memory."

"The depletion is immense!"

"Even after the Soul Manifestation, you must consider the strength of your Soul."

"With your current consciousness strength—"

Captain Ye was clearly speaking to the person beside him;

"Your speed of comprehending Martial Arts has slowed down, hasn't it?"

"By forcibly comprehending Martial Arts and trying to master and write them down, you will pay a price you cannot afford."

Don't play with content from future versions in this version.

Touching the true intent with the strength of ordinary consciousness and then trying to transcribe it...

Good heavens—you're only alive because this solar term has the timing to share the burden!

The Tomb Sweeping Day solar term should be related to the Soul; at that time, you must nurture yourself while attempting it.

Patting the person's shoulder, Captain Ye sent him down.

He then decided to inform Qiu Qi about this situation later.

Magic City, be a bit more steady; don't try to play with the early access version for everything!

"Continuing from your previous topic."

"The Second Stage and third stage don't have a huge relationship with the Martial Arts Rank."

"However, the more ordinary the Martial Arts, the stronger the Comprehension Ability required."

"And better Martial Arts will guide your Comprehension Ability to explore and increase real sensations."

"Aside from that, it should be about the same."

The people from the Magic City hurried to take the man back.

However, the man was almost a different person when he stepped off the stage compared to when he stepped up.

He was full of energy.

The spiritual deficit in his consciousness was almost completely replenished by Captain Ye.

After Captain Ye finished speaking.

He returned to his seat.

The Magic City side had made a good start.

The matter of the Professionals is done, so now it's the turn of you Research Institutes to start.

Let's see what you Research Institutes have actually come up with.

Luoyang Research Institute;

"The Spirit Medicine we planted has sprouted. It seems that Spirit Medicine can be cultivated during this solar term."

Captain Ye was stunned.

Good, good, good.

Suzhou and Hangzhou still can't beat Luoyang.

Captain Ye had already reminded Li Qing in advance, but the results weren't as fast as theirs.

As expected, plain cities are adept at planting.

However.

Li Qing was not to be outdone.

Holy crap.

You guys are really fast, but I have something too;

"Regarding the age of Spirit Medicine, my Suzhou and Hangzhou has produced results."

"For Spirit Medicine to reach high tiers, its medicinal structure is not about age, but about the quantity and quality of nutrients!"

As expected of someone who makes potions.

He immediately suppressed the Luoyang Research Institute.

Tier 3 Spirit Medicine is a gap.

How to cultivate it to a tier 3 Spirit Medicine is definitely a blank space.

This was also something the Luoyang Research Institute was completely puzzled by.

Then.

Naturally, Li Qing and the other party hit it off.

If the meeting weren't still ongoing, they would probably have huddled in a corner to whisper.

Just as Li Qing finished speaking.

Someone stood up and said;

"My Tangshan side has researched a metal that guides the efficiency of a Professional's Qi and blood."

This was said very loudly.

And it indeed should be loud.

It was truly impressive.

As expected of a Suzhou and Hangzhou that works with steel.

Exclusive weapons for Professionals were almost all obtained from treasure chests.

The quantity was very small.

Many Professionals used weapons made of refined steel.

They were usable.

But these weapons were completely unresponsive.

They couldn't conduct Qi and Blood Power at all.

Not being able to conduct Qi meant the Professional's attack power dropped by a level.

This wave from Tangshan was a huge win!

If it's proven true later.

The resulting benefits and first-mover advantage would be incredible!

Immediately following.

Others kept standing up, explaining their results.

Of course, it also invited skepticism from other Research Institutes.

And so.

A large-scale wet market was born.

The Professionals looked at each other.

These scholars—they seem to have quite a temper!

A large number of technical terms popped out of their mouths, which the Professionals couldn't even understand.

Some even derived formulas on the spot.

Suddenly, the entire venue became the scholars' stage.

Captain Ye felt a chill all over.

He quickly made his escape.

Because once they weren't sure, they would look at Captain Ye, wanting him to judge.

But when Captain Ye looked, the paper was full of letters... and they said those were formulas.

This was truly unstoppable.

The professionalism was too strong.

Even if he was the uncrowned king of Professionals, he had to surrender.

It turns out.

When people are anxious, they really can't solve math problems!

For a while.

A large number of Professionals sneakily left the venue.

Even Cui Hu's scalp felt numb seeing those rows of letters!

So what if you're from a prestigious background?

Your math is so good, isn't it!

Afterwards.

The Professionals all cleared out.

Only a large group from the Research Institutes remained in a showdown.

Even Li Qing, who usually looked gentle and refined, was now like a furious lion.

It was a case of debating against a crowd of scholars—from then on.

The Research Institute meeting was called by the Professionals;

The Unknown Domain!

This was an existence that even the uncrowned king of Professionals didn't dare to touch.

They're all a bunch of academic failures!

Of course, with this group from the Research Institutes, you could doubt their EQ, but you couldn't doubt their IQ.

It looked like showing off.

But it was actually about interests.

Sharing between the Research Institutes of various cities?

Even a ghost wouldn't believe that.

If everything was shared, who would bother researching?

Everyone's goal was to show you their treasures.

And then see what you had.

After that, there would be agreements for technology exchange or resource trading.

And the leading Professional of each Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Gave the Research Institute a lot of authority; if you're a layman managing experts, the best way is not to mess around.

They would fight for their own interests.

They wouldn't let you lose out.

—The Professionals all came out.

Then they gathered in small groups, validating some insights with each other.

This meeting was practically the top experts giving away everything they knew.

The harvest was too great.

Not just them, even Captain Ye had gains.

The paths of Cui Hu, Ying Si, and Li Qiankun had a certain degree of reference value.

Locking onto a certain attribute and pulling combat power to the limit.

This path was both unique and fierce!

Or the Unity of Heaven and Man, wielding the great power of heaven and earth for oneself.

These were all big ideas and directions.

See.

There are still many smart people in Great Xia.

He looked up at the sky.

During this exchange, with so much on his mind, he hadn't noticed the time.

Looking at the color of the sky, it should be evening.

"Now..."

Captain Ye was about to speak.

Beside him, Mo Xiaoyu handed over a tablet with a serious expression;

"Captain Ye, it's 12 noon right now."

"The sun's luminosity is decreasing."

"The higher-ups in the Imperial Capital sent you a private message; the reaction passivation of the mushrooms is intensifying."

"In a few more weeks, I'm afraid the mushrooms won't detonate at all, and the sun in the sky will gradually go out."

Captain Ye looked at the tablet.

It contained precise calculations from Professionals.

Based on the current rate of reaction passivation.

At most by the end of the Tomb Sweeping Day, mushrooms will be completely unusable.

As for the sun, due to its size, it has a large amount of thermal energy stored inside, so it can hold on for a bit longer.

But it won't last past the grain in ear before it goes out.

At that time—what natural disaster could be more terrifying than the sun going out?

Eternal night.

Constantly dropping temperatures.

A gradually dying planet.
