"Removing the highest 80 and the lowest 74, the average energy per unit mass is 77 calories." Staring at the numbers appearing on the screen, the professor's voice trembled slightly.
"It has already broken the domestic record of 52 calories," my senior colleague exclaimed in shock. "If it passes clinical trials, this formula could replace some products on the market."
"Junior brother, you've struck it rich!" Senior sister patted Wei Xin on the shoulder with delight.
"Unfortunately, we still couldn't break the international record." A senior student sighed.
The highest international record is 82 calories.
"No, it has already broken an international record," the professor said. "The 82-calorie energy cube is used to enhance strength, while the one Wei Xin made enhances beauty."
"The highest record for the Beauty Attribute Energy Cube is 74 calories. Wei Xin's recipe broke Mr. Adam's record."
"Then wouldn't that mean—" A senior brother, Adam, was the founder of the Grand Contest and the discoverer of how Feebas evolved into Milotic through beauty. Adam was also a leader in the field of energy cube research, which was no less than his achievements in the Grand Contest.
Professor: "Yes, at least in the research of the Beauty Attribute Energy Cube, Mr. Adam should give way to Wei Xin."
A brief silence fell over the research lab. The energy cube was one of the main projects their research center was responsible for, but progress had been slow for various reasons. And today, the research center’s long-standing experimental bottleneck was easily broken by someone who had joined the research center less than a year, or even less than a month.
Everyone was bewildered. Were we dreaming? Could someone check if we forgot to balance the centrifuge during the experiment this morning?
If that rumbling sound means the centrifuge lid is about to fly off, then our hearts are about to explode.
"Ouch, why are you pinching me, senior sister!" Ma Liang rubbed his waist. The issues the others were discussing weren't in the textbooks, so he still didn't understand what had happened.
It will hurt, it's not a dream! Then, almost everyone excitedly raised their arms, and the thunderous cheers almost shattered the glass of the research center.
"As expected of my junior brother, he accomplished what we couldn't do with ease."
Millerton, who was fast asleep in the nature garden, was startled awake by the loud noise and suddenly opened his eyes.
Is dinner served?
"So, I have my graduation thesis?" Wei Xin suddenly realized, but since he was in the combat department, it seemed he didn't really need a thesis.
"Wouldn't that be a waste?" Wei Xin thought in alarm. "Oh no, everyone else is beating up the combat majors, how did I, a combat major, end up on the path of academic research?"
"This isn't just a graduation thesis, it's worthy of publication! Do you know PCI? With a professor's name on it, you could get into a top-tier journal in time!" Senior Sister Huang quickly grabbed Wei Xin's arm, her eyes blazing, as if she had seen King Zhou of Shang. "Junior Brother, I have a favor to ask you, no, I'm begging you, please, can you put my name on this thesis? It's my lifelong request."
Ma Liang: "What is PCI?"
He usually only reads Yilin and Reader.
Lillie: "Pokemoncitationinde, Pokemon paper index l, putting aside the patents, if Wei Xin writes this paper, at least his master's and doctoral degrees are guaranteed, and he might even graduate early."
However, Lillie felt that Wei Xin's research results were not suitable for PCI. Putting traditional Chinese medicine into the formula of energy cubes was not something that no one had done before, but only he had achieved results.
His research findings should be published in journals related to Pokémon (compared to the real-world counterpart Nature).
If I can develop a deeper theory, I might be awarded the title of Pokémon Professor and become the youngest Pokémon Professor.
Wei Xin: "Senior sister, you've already used up all your requests for favors in this lifetime when you asked me to do something last time, and besides, I don't know how to write a thesis at all."
When his thesis was read, his advisor said, "You're writing a tomb raiding novel from the back of your head."
He threw it into Yilin magazine, but it was rejected.
"It's better if you can't write papers, your senior will teach you, no, your senior will write them for you."
The others in the research lab also realized that a published paper was priceless; adding it to a resume could add a zero to their paycheck. Among them, they might only publish no more than twenty papers a year, and those were all in low-quality journals.
Stepping on a Swampert can even trigger Swift Swim.
Now, with a highly valuable paper and its researchers placed in front of them, who could resist?
The crowd began to scramble for it.
"Senior sister, you're really not being fair. You haven't even finished your last project yet."
"Junior brother, your senior sister is getting old and her beauty has faded. Let your senior brother take her place. Look at me, I'm still quite charming."
"How can you expect to get something for nothing, junior brother? I'll trade you the contact information of female students from other departments. If that's not enough, your senior brother will find you more. What type do you like?"
They have cast aside their principles and morals, and are completely oblivious to the nature of the world.
The increasingly frenzied appearance of the crowd frightened Wei Xin into taking a step back. He had only taken out one formula and it had already caused a scramble among the crowd. If he were to tell others now that he could take out a dozen or more similar formulas, wouldn't he be divided into dozens of equal parts?
You academics are really scary.
Seeing that everyone else was eager to bring out their cousins, aunts, and other relatives to show off in front of Wei Xin, Lillie walked up to the professor and said, "Professor, can you please stop interfering with everyone?"
The professor was also in a dilemma.
Although he brought Wei Xin to the research center, he didn't have time to teach him anything. He had been having Wei Xin help with odd jobs all along. Today was the first lesson, and the student had already graduated.
He failed to fulfill any of the duties of teaching, imparting knowledge, or resolving doubts.
He felt he couldn't handle the position of mentor. When others asked, he couldn't very well say that his research center was a place of outstanding people and that such a thing had sprung up out of nowhere. In that case, Wei Xin would not only pose a great threat to him in the academic world, but also make him lose face in the education sector. He even worried that in a few days, this kid might give him the Oak Yuki Award (the Nobel Prize of the Pokémon world).
"Stop arguing," the professor finally intervened, stopping the academic dispute. He walked over to Wei Xin and said, "You don't know how to write a paper, do you? I'll teach you. Also, about the patent, find some time."
You can't teach a genuine product, but if you sell something shoddy, you can at least feel a sense of participation.
However, considering the level of newcomers' papers, he plans to write one himself, put the research center's name on it, and he should have a chance to get published in the Pokémon journal. He might even receive an invitation to an international conference this year.
Although the professor felt the latter was unlikely, scholars from other regions were not fond of taking Donghuang on trips.
"Professor, I still have to compete in the freshman competition, and I also have classes to attend." Wei Xin had no idea that his client was considering having him write the proposal.
Replied.
"I'll write you a leave note. If you don't want to attend a class, then don't go," the professor said with a wave of his hand.
If he can't teach a student, who else can? He's just slowing down Wei Xin's academic progress. This kid is born to do scientific research. Besides, which regular college student attends classes seriously and finishes their coursework in a week? He just drags it out for a whole semester. In the end, he still has to rely on his tutor and self-study.
"Then what about the research funding we talked about earlier?" Wei Xin said, rubbing his hands together.
"Hey, haven't you already published your research results? Don't push your luck." The professor guessed what Wei Xin meant; this kid was planning to include the materials Ralts needed to learn skills in the report. He gave Wei Xin a dog-headed, pointing emoji.
"We have the results, but we need to complete the process, otherwise how can we write the paper without data and information?" Wei Xin retorted confidently.
"You little brat." The professor was speechless for a moment. He had almost forgotten how shameless Wei Xin was, even surpassing his academic level.
Ma Liang hesitated. Energy Cubes are a major part of the Pokémon-related industry, and the returns after entering the market are immeasurable. Although Penguin Company does not have a related industry, it has no shortage of connections and funds, and can definitely enter the market to get a share of the pie.
After returning home, he discussed it with his uncle. His uncle had sent him to the research center not only to gain prestige but also to obtain firsthand research information.
But he forgot one thing: among the people present, there was one who was not lacking in connections or money at all.
Lillie raised her hand without hesitation: "I'm investing in this project. Wei Xin, just name your price."
The Ether Foundation had never done similar business before, so as long as she took over this industry, all the money she earned would be hers. She would no longer need to take money from the Ether Foundation. As long as she was financially independent, she would no longer have to worry about her mother disapproving of her relationship with Wei Xin.
"Rejected!" The professor pointed at Lillie again. "I didn't say I wouldn't approve it."
