Ye Bai gained information about the Sword Spirit Insects in the Secret Realm, only Blue Hair and Yun Luo knew.
But given his relationship with the two of them, they wouldn’t reveal such things.
Originally, Ye Bai planned to hand over these Sword Spirit Insects, but he couldn’t explain how he stored them, which would inevitably expose Blue Hair’s abilities.
However, just as Ye Bai walked out of the competition venue, he embarrassingly realized he forgot the way back in this remote wilderness, he had come to Shan Kara for the trial, a place covered in yellow sand everywhere.
Moreover, he didn’t have a laboratory now, where would he go to conduct experiments, Ye Bai chuckled.
The continuous toil of recent days made his mind somewhat unclear.
Chairman Ye of the organizing committee stood with arms crossed, coldly sneering at Ye Bai, returning dejectedly.
"Run, in this wilderness, you don’t even know how to run back."
Ye Bai naturally had a way back, but it wasn’t appropriate to expose his Spatial Transfer ability under such scrutiny.
So Ye Bai gave an awkward smile, without saying much.
"Forget it, looking at you, you’re not eager to take the stage either."
"But even if you don’t take the stage, you can’t leave for now; for the prospective students admitted to Imperial University, we still need to exchange Imperial University points for you."
"Imperial University points are like a universal currency."
"Even for rating titles, points can settle it."
"Do you know why your teacher became a professor at such a young age?"
"Because she researched the Hundred-Change Silkworm, the school granted a substantial amount of points, relying on which she became a professor at Imperial University."
"If you can research epoch-making innovations, you might become a professor even earlier than your teacher."
"Imagine, when your classmates are still struggling as students, you’ve already become a professor, wouldn’t you be the winner of life?"
"Speaking of which, your teacher recently encountered a bottleneck. If you have time, you might want to assist her in research."
Ye Lin suddenly frowned and mentioned.
After hearing this, Ye Bai kept it in mind.
When the teacher is in trouble, the disciple should always step up first, but generally, there are few problems that trouble the teacher, what project is the teacher researching recently?
Ye Bai found this intriguing.
However, he currently urgently wanted to apply for a laboratory to conduct research on Sword Spirit Insects.
"Chairman Ye, I’d like to rent a laboratory in Imperial University, how many points would it require?"
Ye Lin raised an eyebrow.
"You want to rent a laboratory?"
"But Imperial University’s laboratories generally aren’t open to outsiders, even if you’re a prospective student."
"You could apply through your teacher, or perhaps collaborate with her in one laboratory."
"By the way, your teacher is currently working on enhancing the spiritual traits of equipment-type Exotic Beasts."
"She’s trying to simulate the traits of Sword Butterfly Eggs to formulate better Spirit Summoning Potions, endowing Exotic Beasts with spirituality."
Ye Lin did not shy away from telling Ye Bai in public.
"This laboratory is crucial for your teacher to establish herself at Imperial University."
"This wager also concerns your master’s honor."
"And involves higher-level power plays."
"If you don’t help your mentor and they lose the bet, you might also get implicated."
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow—it truly was a coincidence.
He possessed Sword Spirit Insects, and his professor had a project to enhance equipment-type Exotic Beasts.
This seemed tailor-made for him, Ye Bai felt.
The exchange ratio between competition points and Imperial University points was five to one.
Ye Bai suddenly had over 30,000 points at his disposal, enough to exchange for quite a lot.
He could even exchange enough credits to complete a doctorate.
Ye Lin had already negotiated with the school here.
Zhang Lingxue indeed needed assistance, so a procedure was followed, allowing Ye Bai to join the research team as a temporary worker.
Immediately, he rushed to Imperial University without stopping for a breath.
Zhang Lingxue felt it was another sleepless night.
She currently had no clues, the frustration made her somewhat frantic.
Due to the rarity of Sword Butterfly Eggs, it’s simply impossible to conduct Spirit Summoning without restrictions, strengthening the power of equipment-type Exotic Beasts.
With each Sword Butterfly Egg used, a Sword Butterfly permanently disappears.
Enhancing the capabilities of equipment-type Exotic Beasts is currently a main direction in major national competitions.
The country that first develops this technology will have more influence.
Zhang Lingxue was assigned this staggering task under emergency orders.
Her initial idea was to develop a potion similar to the Sword Butterfly Egg, to enhance the spirituality of equipment-type Exotic Beasts.
Thus, she needed to analyze Sword Butterfly Eggs, extracting all components and compositions.
After over a month of her diligence, she had identified ninety-seven percent of the components of the Sword Butterfly Eggs.
But the remaining three percent were impossible for her to analyze, causing the overall research to stall at a bottleneck.
Zhang Lingxue had a feeling that this remaining three percent might be the crucial component for Spirit Summoning from Sword Butterfly Eggs.
She entered these three percent into the database, and Imperial University’s AI ran the calculations repeatedly.
But still couldn’t determine what it was.
Her hair was falling out in clumps from worry.
The time left for her was already running out.
Everyone at Imperial University was focused on her experiment’s progress, and all the pressure was on her.
But Zhang Lingxue didn’t plan to give up; she intended to become more fearless with each setback.
She had withdrawn all the Sword Butterfly Eggs stored in the university warehouse, planning to stake everything on them.
Now there were only three left.
Among them, one Sword Butterfly Egg had been left for too long and directly hatched into a Sword Spirit Insect.
No time, no materials, and her research ideas had hit a bottleneck.
This left Zhang Lingxue feeling a bit defeated.
She finished the coffee in her hand and was about to get another cup to get through the long night.
The doorbell of the laboratory was knocked.
Zhang Lingxue glanced suspiciously outside.
When she saw who it was, the corners of her mouth curled upwards.
"Ye Bai, why are you here?"
"Aren’t you about to take the college entrance exam?"
She didn’t show any bad emotions on her face.
Ye Bai smiled: "I’ve already won first place in the Young Qilin Cup, directly securing a guaranteed admission to Imperial University."
"I don’t have to participate in the college entrance exam, I get to enroll directly without an exam."
"Teacher, aren’t I impressive?"
Zhang Lingxue saw the youthful confidence in Ye Bai.
"Chairman Ye of the organizing committee said you were having trouble, so I hurried over overnight."
Zhang Lingxue gave a cold laugh: "Damn it, Ye Lin that blabbermouth."
"I told her not to tell anyone."
"But it’s good that you came, my research is currently at a bottleneck."
"To get the school’s full support for my research, I signed a betting agreement."
"If there’s no progress, once the agreement takes effect, I might work unpaid for Imperial University for years."
"I’ve put down a military order for this experiment."
Zhang Lingxue said with slight displeasure.
This is a trap aimed at me and my teacher, a ploy to ruin me.
If I can’t finish the research, my reputation will stink.
But it’s currently the crucial moment for my teacher’s promotion to vice-principal, so despite knowing it’s a trap, Zhang Lingxue dove in without hesitation.
Indeed, this project is very tricky and difficult, and it doesn’t have a specific research direction.
Ye Bai made a secret gesture known only to the two of them towards Zhang Lingxue.
Zhang Lingxue, seeing this, knew that Ye Bai had secrets to share and was asking if the lab had any blocking.
The lab had no surveillance, but Zhang Lingxue still felt it was not secure; she planned to find a more hidden place.
"Come in with me first."
Ye Bai followed Zhang Lingxue into the living room inside the laboratory.
The small living room was about fifty square meters, with a bed placed inside.
Whenever Zhang Lingxue got tired, she would rest on the bed for a while.
The Light Goddess Butterfly appeared, forming a small barrier.
"Ye Bai, what do you want to tell me?"
Zhang Lingxue rubbed her temples; she hadn’t rested in too long, and her eyes were bloodshot.
From a distance, she looked like a fragile porcelain doll.
"During this Secret Realm journey, I made an astonishing discovery."
"So I rushed to share it with you right after coming out of the Secret Realm."
Ye Bai took out several Beast Cards from his Pet Beast Space.
After Zhang Lingxue saw these Beast Cards, her pupils dilated, and a trace of excitement appeared on her face.
But she seemed to think of something, and her eyes dimmed again.
Ye Bai took Zhang Lingxue’s expression into his mind.
"This is the Sword Butterfly larva, the Sword Spirit Insect."
"It hatched from the Sword Butterfly Eggs I found in the Secret Realm."
"I personally witnessed a Sword Butterfly laying over a dozen Sword Butterfly Eggs."
"Breaking our longstanding belief that a Sword Butterfly can only lay one egg in its lifetime."
"I sensed these Sword Butterfly Eggs, and they were full of vitality, perfectly usable for Spirit Summoning." The source of thɪs content is NoveI★Fire.net
"So I immediately decided to let these Sword Butterfly Eggs hatch into Sword Spirit Insects."
"When the Sword Spirit Insects evolve into Sword Butterflies, it will be our moment to witness evolution."
"We will enhance the recessive genes for reproduction by selecting the Sword Butterfly with the strongest reproductive capacity, passing them down generationally."
Zhang Lingxue’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but marvel at her student’s luck.
"Of course, I also think your idea is quite profound, teacher; it’s an excellent subject."
"How about this, teacher: take charge of the research to find the reproductive genes of the Sword Spirit Insect, and I’ll focus on researching the Spirit Summoning Potion."
"You’ve already completed ninety-seven percent, teacher, so I’ll tackle the remaining three percent."
