965 Alchemy (1/2)
The old man that stepped forth was Qi Hetao, and he was simply a research maniac.
Once he saw Fang Yuan, he refused to let him go, wanting to obtain the right to research the Wings of the Sky.
”This… it's not a problem!” Fang Yuan waved his hands heroically. ”I've taken the Wings of the Sky apart. I'll deliver a few parts to each research institute. If Sky University wants it, I'll give them a portion!”
”What? You've dismantled it?”
Qi Hetao was in disbelief. But after seeing the pile of parts, he collapsed to the ground, crying out loud without care for his image. ”What a complete waste. I can't believe this!”
”Actually, I have a feeling that this mecha had hit its limit long ago. After going through the battle, it started to fall apart…”
Fang Yuan was talking nonsense. Anyway, nobody knew how damaged the mecha was previously, and everything was based on what he wanted to say.
”I still need your help, Qi Yunshan. I'm going to donate half of it to the school. As for the rest, I'll donate portions to the other mecha research institutes!”
”O-Okay…” Qi Yunshan answered in a daze. ”In that case, you'll offend Sky University though!”
”I'm not a student from there…” Fang Yuan shrugged indifferently. ”Also, our university should reward me for this, right?”
”That's right. In terms of credits, it'll be an astronomical figure! You can even request an Undead Immortal to be your teacher!” Qi Yunshan replied enviously.
Fang Yuan looked at the aircraft and suddenly said, ”Hm, also… I'll have to trouble you to give me a lift!”
”My pleasure!”
Qi Yunshan agreed immediately without giving it much thought.
…
Fang Yuan crossed his legs inside the aircraft's cabin while going through everything that happened earlier.
”Hm, after what happened, even if I want to remain low-profile, the school's higher-ups must have noticed me by now…”
There had to be a fortuitous encounter for an ordinary student to suddenly change this much!
However, Fang Yuan was very assured about the alliance's laws. At least, nobody would blatantly take away his secrets.
And all he needed was time!
After all, he could obtain more information with increased jurisdiction!
By the time he found out the source of the psionic crystal, would he be afraid of anyone? Even if the Abominable Lord came along, he would just leave and wait for a better time to enter this world again.
With this in mind, he was naturally carefree.
”I wonder if I'm stronger than him now?”
Fang Yuan felt a little eager to try.
As for why he did not silence them or change their memories?
As long as Fang Yuan did something, he'd leave a trace. Before he figured out the details of the Undead Immortals and Grand Arcanists in this world, there was no way he would do that.
”There are still many mysteries in this world. A broken top-class mecha has battle power of that level. What would happen if it were complete?”
Fang Yuan silently looked outside the window. He watched the clouds fade away quickly before the outline of East Dragon University appeared and smirked.
…
”Student Lin Meng, please allow us to perform an inspection!”
Once Fang Yuan got off the aircraft, he spotted several mentors with serious expressions.
”All right!”
He nodded, allowing them to scan him with their various instruments and take some blood samples.
Although the Human Alliance respected privacy, there were some safety precautions it had to take. For instance, against spies of the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance!
There was a type of Brain Zerg that could invade a human's brain and control the human to do whatever it wanted like a puppet.
Fang Yuan knew that if he resisted, the Undead Immortals who were secretly watching would dash out immediately.
As long as he passed this test, there would be no problems, and nothing would hold him back.
…
”Great… it seems like the school also hopes to keep secrets and won't announce this to the outside!”
After walking around the campus, he realized that he had not become famous. Fang Yuan was very pleased with this.
He thought about it and did not return to his dorm. Instead, he went to a courtyard house. ”Teacher Han Yunfeng, are you here?”
”… Lin Meng! Come in!”
The main door opened automatically, and Fang Yuan stepped in. He went to the large hall, but he found that Han Yunfeng seemed to be in a bad state.
He wore a scruffy outfit, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had a foul stench all over his body.
”What happened?” he asked curiously.
”I've failed… I tried a few times, but creating the high-tier brain development drug with ancient refinement methods has a bottleneck that I can't break through!” Han Yunfeng murmured with a dazed look.
Bang!
After saying that, it seemed like he could not bear it. He fainted and collapsed onto the ground.
