Carefree Path of Dreams
Chapter 966: Negotiations

“What happened this time?” asked the group of Undead Immortals in surprise.

“It’s that Lin Meng again… he unexpectedly broke the shackles of ancient refinement methods to concoct the high-tier brain development drug!”

The principal smiled bitterly.

Hiss hiss!

Gasps erupted around the table.

Even though Undead Immortals did not need the drug, they understood what it meant. It was something that could potentially change the structure of the world.

“In order to prevent leaks, I can only do this. Wait here. I will meet him personally!”

…

“This experiment has proven that in the aspect of inputting Aural Dao, ancient alchemy has a clear advantage. It can increase the success rate by more than 15%!”

Fang Yuan’s fingers were flying as the lines of a paper formed under his hand. Han Yunfeng read the data analysis, and his eyes twitched. “I have to say, the experiment only succeeded once. We haven’t even performed comparative analysis. How can we write such a conclusion?”

According to his intentions, this success would be a great reason to request more resources from the school.

“Not necessary… the data from simulation experiments is all in my head!” Fang Yuan said nonchalantly in the style of a genius.

“All right… But how did you cultivate to this level in such a short amount of time?”

Han Yunfeng felt that he had received too many blows today, and his brain was feeling numb.

“Haha… Student Lin Meng!”

All of a sudden, a white-haired old man entered the hall, scaring Han Yunfeng. “How’s it going?”

A person who could infiltrate a cultivator’s cave abode was not ordinary. Not to mention, East Dragon University’s restrictions were also protecting this place.

“Ah, it’s you, Principal?”

After seeing who it was, Han Yunfeng immediately felt at ease.

After all, this Venerable Three Star had the highest authority in the entirety of East Dragon University. Being able to do this was not surprising at all.

“Principal?”

This was the first time that Fang Yuan met an Undead Immortal, and he felt slightly agitated at that moment.

However, he knew the severity of his actions, which was why he did not do anything. He wanted to see how things were going to pan out.

“Student Lin Meng, on top of your exceptional talent in cultivation, I didn’t expect you to have an equal amount of talent in alchemy…” Undead Immortal Three Star laughed gently. “If we hadn’t examined your psyche waves and verified that there were no abnormalities, I would have thought that you were an ancient cultivator who took over this body!”

“Principal, you must be joking.”

Fang Yuan smiled wordlessly. Lin Meng was indeed taken over. Unfortunately, although the school’s detection system was powerful, it could not identify a Demon God True Spirit.

“This… is the paper on refining the high-tier brain development drug…”

Venerable Three Star stepped forward and took a look. His expression changed immediately. “Do you know what it means to be able to raise the success rate by 15 to 25%?”

“Of course I do. It means a major disruption for the entire pharmaceutical industry. On top of that, it provides opportunities for high-level Mystics to make up for the gaps in their foundation. It’ll become the core military power in our battle against the cosmic lifeforms!”

Fang Yuan thought about this long ago, which was also why he had proposed this refining experiment and paper.

No matter how talented a student was, it only suggested their potential as an Undead Immortal.

However, talents like him who could cause the revolution of an entire industry were rare.

Given the overall situation, the school would seal all information related to him. This was also a form of protection. After all, if the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance found out about this, Fang Yuan would be added to their assassination list.

With East Dragon University undertaking this task, he did not need to worry about his information leaking, thereby attracting the Abominable Lord.

At the moment, he and this existence were in a strange contest.

Even though he would not be a match for him outside this world, it was not the same here.

As Fang Yuan recovered his strength, it sparked his competitiveness. He wanted to slug it out with the other party.

After revealing this, the entire East Dragon University, or rather the entire Human Alliance will be on my side. Even if the Abominable Lord receives the news and attacks me, I won’t have to make a single move. I’ll witness the power of the best educational institution in the Human Alliance, East Dragon University!

This world was vast. Inevitably, someone on the level of a Demon God must exist somewhere.

For instance, Undead Immortals could increase their levels infinitely. It would not be impossible for them to reach level thirty or even forty! Even if they were all Undead Immortals, the difference between their combat power was like heaven and earth!

Fang Yuan instinctively sensed that the Venerable Three Star before him was just an incarnation. Even so, he could not underestimate his strength.

If East Dragon University could not match a Demon God even after activating their top combat power, it would be a complete joke!

“Yes, it’s good that you know. I approve of this paper. However, we need to add a top-secret tag to it! The same goes for your information. What do you think?” Venerable Three Star turned to Fang Yuan. “Of course, the school has been monitoring your contributions and the matter from before. We’ll give you a favorable reward for your work!”

Right after he finished speaking, Fang Yuan received a notification on his wristband. He received a large number of credits on his account, and the number of zeros was terrifying.

“No problem!” Fang Yuan nodded.

“On top of that, you’re a genius that surpasses Wu Wudi. I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you’ll prioritize humanity! Don’t be like Wu Wudi. If you have any doubts in your studies or anything else, you’re welcome to call my private number!”

Venerable Three Star was obviously extending his goodwill, and it almost seemed like he had intentions to take him in as his disciple.

“Hold on, Principal. What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand this?” Han Yunfeng was confused.

“All you have to know is that this student’s information is top-secret. I don’t think you want me to send out a purger, do you?” Venerable Three Star smiled.

“No! Of course not!” Han Yunfeng suddenly felt a chill and did not dare not ask more. “I’ll go out for a while!”

He also realized that Fang Yuan’s gift in alchemy alone would be sufficient to warrant East Dragon University’s protection, not to mention his other secrets.

“Mentor Han Yunfeng, I am a contract lawyer directly under the school. I need you to verify this confidentiality agreement here!”

At this moment, an expressionless cultivator in blood-red clothes came to him.

“No problem!”

This was a cultivator trained by the school who specialized in curses. Contracts that were notarized by him were legally binding and bound by his curse. Anyone who broke the contract would face a horrifying fate.

Han Yunfeng smiled bitterly for a moment before leaving his spiritual will signature on it.

…

Inside the courtyard house, Fang Yuan thought of something and took out an item. “This is a strange object that I obtained in a special encounter. I can lend it to the school for research!”

Everything he did was to be protected. Even him dismantling the Wings of the Sky was to erase traces. His only flaw was killing the three Golden Core cultivators instantly.

Since Fang Yuan planned to continue studying at East Dragon University, he wanted to make up for this flaw.

“This is…” Venerable Three Star stared at that thin needle and suddenly recalled the image from the Heavenly Eye when Fang Yuan killed three Golden Core cultivators at once.

“When I first got it, I thought that it was just a regular needle. However, it seems like it can penetrate any object. To date, I haven’t found a material that can defend against it! Even Golden Core Mystics’ true elemental shields and magical weapons are like paper in front of it. I merely relied on it to kill Red Tarantula’s great commander!”

Of course, this was not his magical weapon seed. It was not even a weapon that was enhanced by the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao.

It looked simple and unassuming. Costing 0.01 star dollars, it was a standard sewing needle that anyone could find in a shop.

However, Fang Yuan had used the Impermanence Great Dao to turn it into a Derivative. On top of that, he gave it with the ‘sharp’ peculiarity.

“That’s definitely not an ordinary needle!”

Venerable Three Star was well-learned, but after examining it, he nearly burst out cursing. “How can something like this exist in the universe? Is there such a huge gap in our science?”

If one were to say that this world’s science and technology was an Orthodox Dao, the Impermanence Great Dao was thoroughly the antithesis of it!

Its existence would cause scientists to collapse in disbelief and begin doubting the world.

Fang Yuan was really looking forward to it. He wondered how deep this world would go into the research of peculiarities.

“Sorry… I forgot myself!” Venerable Three Star apologized. “Its existence is unreasonable. Student Lin Meng, thank you for your generosity. Perhaps, it may point out a brand new direction in our scientific knowledge!”

He had valued Fang Yuan before, but now the principal felt that this needle was more important than anything else!

This was the common failing of a researcher.

“The researchers from tool refinement and materials departments will also be grateful to you!”

Venerable Three Star was excited. He could not wait to leave and take the needle to a laboratory for research.

As he was leaving, it seemed like he remembered something. He patted his head. “Oh! Also, regarding Wu Sanhuai, even Wu Wudi hasn’t mentioned anything about the police. Furthermore, in the Wasteland, fighting back in self-defense isn’t an offense! As for Red Tarantula’s leaders, those three people had bounties on them. We’ll transfer the reward to your account in a while!”

He was very satisfied with this first meeting. Not only did they reach a consensus, but he had also obtained a precious research subject!

He immediately forgot about all the trivial matters.

…

“You…”

After Venerable Three Star left, Han Yunfeng returned to the house. He looked at Fang Yuan with a complex expression. “Forget it… I won’t ask you anything. You can tell me what you want!”

“Uh…” Fang Yuan released his Breath Holding Dao Art, and the fluctuations of his Golden Core emerged. “I’ve reached the Golden Core stage!”

“…”

…

“Genius! You’re a true genius!”

After a while, Han Yunfeng finally calmed down. He stared at Fang Yuan like he was a monster. “This must be why the principal came to see you!”

As for Wu Wudi and the mecha, Fang Yuan mentioned none of it. He was afraid that Han Yunfeng would faint from the shock.

“With your cultivation and level of alchemy, you should just skip a year! Why continue with your first year?”

After a series of shocks, Han Yunfeng was left with excitement. “Even though your alchemy and cultivation have surpassed many graduates, I still recommend you start as a second-year and study the contents of the pharmacy department completely…”

“Sorry…” Fang Yuan shrugged. “I’ve thought about it, and my true dream is to enter the mecha department!”

“Huh???”
