CH 122

At the end of the seminar, almost everyone was in a state of contemplation.

They all thought that their thinking was correct, and it was only now that they began to seriously consider the validity of their thinking.

Not everyone agreed or took what was right for granted.

They learned from An Yan, an eighteen year-old, that not everyone agreed or took what was right for granted. This was a truth worthy of their deep thought and reflection.

However, An Yan felt quite happy compared to them. He had finally got the answer to the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

He immediately started working on his second paper after leaving the institute.

"A Discussion on the Relationship between Humans and Animals."

In this thesis, An Yan describes in detail the process that led to his discovery of the new concept of body potions. He highlighted the impact of human thoughts on the production of body potions.

In addition, he also described the relationship between the animal traits that humans carry and humans themselves through objective facts.

On the basis of these objective facts, An Yan also described his subjective views in detail.

He argued that since the animal traits humans carry are a consequence of their own choices, it is up to humans to take responsibility for them and not to take it out on innocent animals.

Moreover, these animal traits do not have a negative impact on humans and are also a manifestation of human evolution.

Therefore, their existence is not shameful and should not be rejected by mankind.

An Yan even believed that humans could use these animal traits to further explore the mysteries of human evolution, and perhaps get unexpected and surprising results.

But of course, there was no contradiction with the view that animal features that affect someone’s daily life should be eliminated.

The second paper had fewer words than the first one, but it took longer to write because it was so subjective and had very little data to work with.

It took An Yan two weeks to finally finish this thesis.

During this process, the Institute of Body Potions had already announced that An Yan had become an academic member of the Institute.

The number of people who paid attention to the information announced by such academic research institutions was usually small, with most of them being insiders or professionals. But this time, the announcement caused a great sensation on the virtual net.

#Shock! The youngest academic in history is born, and I never thought it would be him! # shocking!

The subject matter of this eye-catching headline was very simple.

Did you see the announcement released by the Institute of Body Potions?

An Yan has become an academic at the Institute! Oh my god! This is unbelievable!

An 18-year old academic? Can you believe it!

1L: Holy shit! An eighteen-year-old academic? Are you sure you're not kidding me?

5L: This is click bait, right? You really don't understand anything. Do you know how strict the requirements are for a research institute recognized in the whole planet, not to mention the Institute of Body Potions? An academic at 18 years old? Why don’t you say that you've been selected as an academic at birth?

11L: I just took a look at the official website and the Institute did release an announcement that someone called An Yan had become an academic at the Institute. But is that person really only eighteen years old?

18L: Of course it's true! Don't you guys even know who An Yan is? He's the one who came up with the new concept of body potions!

23L: Yes, yes! He is, in fact, eighteen years old, and he is still a freshman at the Academy!

29L: He's too great. To become a member of the Institute of Body Potions so soon! It’s unbelievable!

33L: Mamma asked me why I was kneeling down to read the announcement from the Institute of Body Potions..

41L: I’m the one on the 5th floor. I just went to verify it, and I admit that I'm ignorant. I apologize to the poster here, and by the way, worship the big boss.

47L: Why is there such a great person! Why is someone so awesome and not me! [storm crying.jpg]

55L: At the same age of 18, Big Boss has already become an academic, while I am still thinking about which canteen in the college has the best food. Why is there such a big gap between people? (╯︵╰,)

60L: I have nothing more to say. From now on, I'm academic An Yan’s biggest fan!

66L: Has this big boss registered for this year's Academy Mecha Competition?

70L: You're in the wrong place upstairs. I don't think this has anything to do with the mecha competition, right?

77L: This is normal. Isn't this year's Academy Mecha Competition about to start? As long as there is a popular thread,  people will always skew the issue to that topic, so just ignore it.

82L: Although it's a bit skewed, An Yan has indeed signed up for this year's Academy Mecha Competition, and he's teamed up with Cheng Yi.

88L: Holy crap! So the two big bosses I admire are teaming up in the Academy Mecha Competition?

93L: There's a serious delay in getting information upstairs. Hasn't this news been out for a long time? There are many people who think that these two big bosses will win the competition.

99L: That's for sure. If these two are together, they'll be invincible and unbeatable.

100L: Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the wording upstairs?

101L: Don't worry about the details, just know that there are a lot of people who think highly of these two.

105L: I am asking weakly. Do you remember what the topic of this thread was?

106L: ...... can't remember.

107L: ...... can't remember +1.

108L: ...... can't remember + floor number.

......

Just when the discussion in the post was in full swing and so popular that it was almost skewed to the sky, An Yan checked the content of the paper one last time and then sent it to the president of the Institute.

The president had specifically told him to send the paper directly to his email address the next time he wanted to submit one, which would speed up the review.

After doing this, An Yan stretched and was about to crawl into bed to sleep when he received a call from Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang's excited voice came through as soon as the communication was answered, "I have good news, Yan Yan! I have finally found a partner for the competition! "

Cheng Yang’s level of potion making was average, even though he had always been very interested in potion making. So he had been worried about finding a partner.

It wasn't that no one had offered to team up with him. After all, with Cheng Yang's family background, there were many people who would offer to team up with him just to get closer to him even if he couldn’t make a single potion.

But Cheng Yi did not want to team up with these strangers whom he had never even come into contact with, let alone know what purpose they might have.

Cheng Yang had complained to An Yan about this more than once. But the people he wanted to team up with had already found partners, which left him in an awkward position.

"Really?" An Yan's eyes lit up, then asked, "Who is the partner you found?"

"It's a second-year mecha major on Pro-Star," Cheng Yang said excitedly, "I accidentally saw one of his fights on the virtual net and thought he was particularly impressive. I took the initiative to contact him, explained my situation, and then offered to team up with him. I thought it was definitely out of the question, but he surprisingly agreed straight away. hahahaha!"

An Yan was a little worried on hearing this: "That’s a student from another planet, so does he know your identity?"

His attitude would be a little strange if he gave a straightforward yes while knowing Cheng Yang's identity.

"He doesn't know!" Cheng Yang said proudly, "I just told him about my level of potion making without mentioning my real identity at all, and I didn't expect him to say yes!"

"Oh." But doesn’t that make things seem even stranger?

It would be reasonable if the other party knew Cheng Yang's identity and then immediately agreed to it, even though the reason might not be pure.

However, the other party agreed despite not knowing Cheng Yang's identity and knowing his level of potion making. It didn’t make sense.

An Yan thought so and asked, "But why would he agree to team up with you?"

When asked, Cheng Yang also realized the problem: "That’s true. I'm so bad at making potions, but he's so good at controlling mechas. Why would he want to team up with me? Does he actually know who I am? But that can’t be. I entered the virtual arena anonymously, and seeing him fight was purely coincidental."

An Yan thought about it for a while, but couldn't find an answer. He could only comfort him, "If it's certain that he doesn't know your identity, then there's no need for us to think so much. Maybe it was fate?"

Fate was a wonderful thing.

He had managed to come to this world and met Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yang's nature was also simple. He threw it to the back of his mind when he couldn't figure it out, "You're right. It's not like I'm losing out by teaming up with him anyway. In the end, I'm the one taking advantage of him. Let's not talk too much. I'm going to train with him."

An Yan asked curiously, "Training? What kind of training?"

"It's to train for the competition.  That way we can get to know each other better and prepare for it," Cheng Yang explained briefly before realizing the problem, "Have you and my brother never trained before?"

An Yan shook his head with a bewildered expression, "No."

He thought all he had to do after registration was wait for the competition to start. He never thought they had to train in advance.
