Chapter 16 Daily Life in the Dormitory
Soon, the dorm was filled with the aroma of food. The surrounding dorms were already used to it. Does it smell good? Like their roommates!
Look at other people's roommates! And then look at my own... Oh well, I won't make things difficult for them. It's already a miracle they eat on time! And I expect them to cook? And make it taste so good?
When they first entered the school, some inexperienced students might have been enthusiastic about trying to cook. But once the initial enthusiasm wore off, the kitchens in the dorms were basically turned into storage rooms.
Well, it's said that this school was originally intended to be a specialized culinary academy, but unfortunately, they couldn't recruit enough teachers, so they had to change it into the multi-disciplinary academy it is today.
Smelling Li Muyang's aroma, the culinary school teachers and professors have repeatedly pleaded with him to transfer! Such a genius is a waste of talent in the veterinary department! This infuriates the veterinary professors! What?! You think our veterinary department isn't a college anymore?! Are we even a college anymore?!
You have so many talented people! Why do you have to compete with us for this one? That's going too far! We're already outnumbered!
It turns out that the deans of the two colleges had a fight, and somehow the story got more and more outrageous! In the end, Li Muyang was almost portrayed as some kind of one-in-a-million genius!
The four of them sat together in the dormitory, eating and chatting about these trivial matters.
"Old Li, that little white fox... it shouldn't be tomorrow's extra meal, right?" Wang Yifei, the dormitory leader, asked hesitantly after a long while.
"BT!" "CS!" "He's inhuman!" The other three, including Li Muyang, all accused Fatty Wang of anthropomorphizing! Such a cute little white fox! How could you bite it?!
"Awoo~" Little White, who was buried in his rice, also stopped what he was doing, raised his head and let out a dissatisfied shout.
Wang Yifei chuckled and scratched his head: "I was just kidding, Father Li, don't mind me! But that gourd of yours, could it be the spirit beast gourd that the official channels have been promoting lately? This thing hasn't been released yet, has it? I saw in the promotion that it won't be officially released until 10 a.m. tomorrow!"
Li Muyang showed absolutely no mercy: "You changed the subject so abruptly! And besides, if you don't need me, you're just Old Li, but if you do need me, you're just Father Li?"
“That’s right! Godfather, don’t stoop to this scoundrel’s level!” Fan Zichen, the red-haired scumbag on the other side, chided.
"To be honest, Godfather, you're really something! This spirit beast gourd is an official product, how did you manage to get it a day early? Judging by its design, it's probably not even a mass-produced product officially released!" The fourth person in the dormitory, the bespectacled, squinty-eyed tech geek Lu Xiaobo, teased meaningfully.
"Ahem, calm down, it's no big deal, just basic stuff!" Li Muyang waved his hand with a mysterious smile.
Seeing that Li Muyang didn't want to talk about it, the three of them didn't mind and started to change the subject again.
"Are you going to try and snatch that spirit beast gourd?" Wang Yifei asked with great interest.
"Absolutely! Even if we don't use it ourselves, we can make a lot of money by reselling it," Fan Zichen said excitedly.
Lu Xiaobo adjusted his glasses and said, "You're seriously underestimating the value of this thing! The technology behind it is far ahead of China! It's a powerful, mass-produced spiritual treasure that skips a series of complex steps, allowing anyone to become a beast tamer! Can you imagine the impact it will have?"
“As far as I know, this thing cannot be transferred,” Li Muyang added casually. “Purchase requires binding an identity, and once purchased, it can only be used by the owner. This is also to prevent foreign countries from stealing the technology.”
"Then I'm relieved!" Fan Zichen said with a sigh of relief. "I was worried that if I bought it, it might get stolen."
"Hmph! Kid, this is for your senior's boyfriend?" Wang Yifei said, indicating that he had seen through the truth!
"Ahem, I see through it but I won't say it!" Fan Zichen coughed lightly, a little shy. Although he was somewhat handsome and looked like a scumbag, he was actually surprisingly pure and devoted.
Lu Xiaobo then spoke up, "Do you all want them? I have connections here!"
"Is it legitimate?" Wang Yifei and Fan Zichen's eyes lit up immediately.
"Of course it's legitimate! Can you two stop looking at me with prejudice? Although I sometimes hack into external firewalls, I never do anything illegal or disorderly!" Lu Xiaobo said righteously.
"Tch, if you're going to use a VPN to watch porn, just watch porn, why are you talking about hacking the firewall! How can you say that with such confidence!" Wang Yifei retorted mercilessly.
"I...climbing over the wall doesn't count as watching P! It was just a side thing...can you call hacking P?" Lu Xiaobo blushed for a moment, and then said some incomprehensible things, such as "a gentleman is steadfast in poverty" and "what is it?", which made the three people in the dormitory burst into laughter, and the dormitory was filled with a happy atmosphere.
After laughing and joking for a while, Lu Xiaobo explained, "My dad works at a research institute. This spirit beast gourd is the product of a research genius at the institute. I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone! This is the legendary genius who broke through foreign blockades, deciphered the composition of the spirit liquid, and improved its quality and yield!"
"Wow! It's this mysterious master!" Wang Yifei and Fan Zichen exclaimed in surprise.
Li Muyang was completely bewildered: "Wait... when did he decipher the composition of the spirit liquid? Does this thing even need to be deciphered? Didn't it only improve quality and quantity?"
Lu Xiaobo waved his hand, clearly displeased with Li Muyang's questioning, and said seriously, "Old Li! You just don't understand! This spiritual liquid was originally embargoed by foreign countries! It was all thanks to this genius's research! The quality and quantity were just something he did incidentally! Isn't that amazing?"
"NBNB!" Wang Yifei and Fan Zichen cheered enthusiastically.
Li Muyang was both amused and exasperated. He really didn't know that his roommate was a huge fan of his own father!
"So, what's this amazing person's name?" Wang Yifei asked curiously.
Lu Xiaobo's lips twitched: "Sorry, I don't know."
"Uh..." The two of them were speechless. You were talking so enthusiastically, we thought you knew.
Lu Xiaobo was also helpless: "Come on, guys, this big shot's identity information, including his family background, is all top state secrets. If my dad dares to leak this information, our whole family will be arrested for espionage tomorrow!"
Li Muyang silently ate his rice. Hmm, Xiaobai is so cute!
Let's hurry up and find a way to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Otherwise, Li Muyang always felt that once his father's identity was revealed to the world or exposed, he would have to forget about living a leisurely life if he didn't have the strength!
The other three were also engrossed in their conversation and didn't notice that Li Muyang was rarely speaking. He was worried that he might accidentally reveal something he shouldn't have said.
After finishing their meal, the three of them went to wash the dishes, while Li Muyang went to the rooftop to call his father.
"Hello?" asked Li Yunfei, Li's father.
"Dad, do you have time?" Li Muyang asked.
"what's up?"
"I have a sample of the flesh and blood cells of a powerful expert on your desk. Could you help me study it and see if I can integrate the power of these cells into my body..."
Father Li: "...Son, we don't do anything illegal, and we'll be lenient if you confess. Who did you chop up this time?"
Li Muyang looked extremely annoyed: "Dad, don't you know what kind of person your son is?"
Li Yunfei retorted speechlessly, "I know all too well! Back when you were twelve, you could watch me dissect lab mice in the lab without batting an eye, at fifteen you could skillfully dissect rabbits on your own, and at eighteen you dared to kill a chicken all by yourself! You even killed one of the geese in your grandfather's vegetable garden..."
"...Although the goose pecked at you first."
Faced with his father's detailed summary, Li Muyang was speechless. He genuinely hadn't expected his father to remember so clearly! He could only explain, "I made an agreement with them, and they gave it to me themselves! Don't overthink it! I'm just asking if you have time to study it! If not, I'll find someone else!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li's father hurriedly agreed, then thought for a moment, "If you don't go to your father, who else can you go to?"
Li Muyang smiled wickedly: "I have a roommate whose dad also works at your research institute. His surname is Lu. If you don't take care of this, I'm going to go find his dad!"
"Surname Lu? Oh! I see." Father Li also gave a wicked smile; the father and son shared the same grin. Little Lu! You've chosen the wrong path!
You dare to try and take my son away from me?! How dare you?!
A seemingly ordinary researcher surnamed Lu at a research institute suddenly sneezed involuntarily. He looked up at the air conditioner and wondered if it was too cold.
Hehehe, don't misunderstand, Li Muyang and his father definitely didn't have any malicious intent. Li's father, Li Yunfei, is a very special researcher at the research institute. Other researchers of the same level can't have much contact with their families at all. Every time they go out, they are accompanied by a special person.
As for higher?
Li's father is the top researcher!
The fact that Lu Xiaobo could see his father so often only shows that his father's rank was not high and that he could not access core secrets.
If I truly gain Mr. Li's appreciation, it will be an opportunity for promotion!
Li Muyang's words were very tactful, and he didn't deliberately bring up this point, but Li's father was certainly intelligent enough to understand. At the same time, he was giving the choice to Li's father. Whether to use it or not, whether it was feasible or not, it was all up to him!
Li Muyang had only mentioned it casually. Regardless of whether Li Yunfei agreed to help him research the first-generation cells, Li Muyang would never go to Lu Xiaobo's father! For such an important matter, it was obvious that the level of trust was low, and he certainly wouldn't choose someone he had never met before!
Li Muyang only knows Lu Xiaobo, not his father; there's a difference between the two.
Li Muyang was quite at ease entrusting the important task of researching the first generation of cells to his father. His father was not the same type of researcher as Snake Uncle. Although his father had bug-level research capabilities, he always maintained a deep respect for life! This was extremely rare and valuable!
According to his explanation, the more he researched, the stronger his curiosity became, and the more he wanted to explore the mysteries of the truth. But usually at this point, he would forcibly stop his research because he knew that once such a Pandora's box was opened, the consequences would be immeasurable!
