Chapter 656 - 656 Worry and the Storm
656 Worry and the Storm
“First of all, I have been entrusted by the Huaxia Genetic Committee and the commander of the Huaxia Moon Integrated Base, Lieutenant General Wei Bin, to express my sincere grat.i.tude for your outstanding contribution.”
As he spoke, Wen Xinglun, the princ.i.p.al of the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College, suddenly stood up and thanked Xu Tui with a serious expression. Xu Tui was so frightened that he quickly stood up.
Wen Xinglun smiled and waved his hand. He had completed his mission and pulled Xu Tui back to his seat. The dean of the Academic Affairs Office, Yan Chen, brought him two cups of tea.
“The main reason is that some of your honor has been slightly blocked. Let me make it clear first. Our Huaxia Sector has never been stingy with rewards for contributions! According to Lieutenant General Wei Bin’s suggestion, we want to report your deeds to the entire Huaxia Sector and report your deeds to the media!”
Wen Xinglun’s words shocked Xu Tui.
In that case, he, Xu Tui, would become the center of attention. Xu Tui might have wanted to do this half a year ago, but now, he wanted to keep a low profile. He still had many important matters to attend to. He could not afford to be the center of attention.
“After that, Princ.i.p.al Cai Shaochu stepped forward to stop it. He said that you were still young and wanted to give you more room to grow. He could not increase the pressure on you. That was why the public commendation was canceled. However, even though we had only canceled the public commendation, the rewards would not be little. Many of the rewards might be distributed in another way. I called you over today to ask for your opinion.”
After a pause, Wen Xinglun said, “In view of your major contribution and achievements, the Huaxia Genetic Committee has decided to give you the t.i.tle of Senior Researcher. If you are willing, you can directly enter the Genetic Research Inst.i.tute now and authorize you to establish your own independent research lab. There is a start-up capital of 500 million yuan. The research funds allocated every year have to be done according to the rules.”
These words made Xu Tui’s heart skip a beat. A senior researcher was equivalent to a professor. Not only did he directly enter the Genetic Research Inst.i.tute, but he could also set up an independent research lab. Although it was not a research inst.i.tute, this was quite a deal. Especially since he was a freshman.
“Princ.i.p.al, is this… appropriate? I’m only a freshman.” Xu Tui was a little hesitant.
Wen Xinglun smiled. “It’s also because of this that I asked for your opinion. The second method will still give you the t.i.tle of a senior researcher at the Huaxia Genetic Research Inst.i.tute. However, you will decide what to do next.”
At that moment, Xu Tui was a little hesitant. Countless thoughts surfaced in his mind, but they all turned into one thought. “Princ.i.p.al, can I continue to stay in school?”
“Of course!”
“Princ.i.p.al, I still want to continue studying. I’ve only studied for less than a year since I entered the school. My research results in the extra-terrestrial also have something to do with luck.”
Wen Xinglun looked at Xu Tui with even more admiration when he heard that. “Actually, both I and Princ.i.p.al Cai Shaochu want you to continue your studies. A rootless tree could not walk too far. However, I checked your learning record. I realized that your learning progress is much faster than most students.
“This should be related to your powerful mind power and the enlightenment of the School of Enlightened Mind. It would be a waste of your time to study according to the schedule like the other students. How about this? I’ll make some exceptions after we’re done here.
“If you have any questions about your studies, you can ask any professor in the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College. I believe that they will definitely not reject you,” Wen Xinglun said.
“Thank you, Princ.i.p.al.”
“Also, I’ve already informed the Special Intelligence Division. Your parents’ security level will also be raised to Level B rights. In addition, if you are willing, there is a s.p.a.cious family building in the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College. Your parents can move in if you settle the school retention procedures. Compared to the outside, the interior of our Huaxia Genetic Evolution College is safer and purer.”
Xu Tui was overjoyed when he heard that. The safety of the Capital was second to none in the entire Huaxia Sector. In that case, the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College was one of the safest places in the Capital. Ever since the Great Genetic Era, no enemy had ever barged into the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College.
“Thank you, Princ.i.p.al. Thank you so much!” Xu Tui thanked him loudly. To be honest, he had chosen to keep a low profile because of his parents. The more famous Xu Tui was, the easier it was for his parents to have safety problems.
Now, Wen Xinglun has completely resolved Xu Tui’s worries.
As for staying in school? That was not a problem! Being able to become a professor at the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College was something that countless people dreamed of!
“Alright, if there are no more problems, you can go back. You can contact me directly if you need anything in the future.” Wen Xinglun smiled.
“By the way, Princ.i.p.al, the Huaxia Genetic Committee allocated me a huge sum of 315,000 contribution points. The source is the invention authorization. What’s going on?” Xu Tui asked in confusion.
“This… The Huaxia Genetic Committee has a rule. If a major invention is handed over to the Huaxia Genetic Committee to deal with, the inventor will directly enjoy 10% of the transaction value. This time, the direct absorption method that you invented earned the Huaxia Genetic Committee more than 3.1 million contribution points. According to the rules, they would give you 10%. You wouldn’t think it’s too little, would you?”
“How could that be!” Xu Tui was very clear about this. If not for the Huaxia Sector behind him, Xu Tui might have been devoured by someone. 10% of the transaction value was a lot.
…
Over the next few days, Xu Tui met with his cla.s.smates and friends. He politely declined a few interviews, and his life gradually returned to normal. However, the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College was not peaceful.
The return of the elite students from the first, second, third, and fourth years brought explosive news.
The first-year Dragon, Xu Tui, had actually monopolized the rewards for all the rankings on the Mars battlefield. Even the Dragon of Huaxia, Li Zhouchen, and the Tiger of Huaxia, Zhao Hailong, could not withstand the might of the spear, not to mention the third-year Dragon and Tiger.
Especially when these elite students felt that Xu Tui had obtained his ranking through his strength and not luck. Many students expected that the Longhu List of the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College would definitely surge.
Many students were guessing when Xu Tui would become the Dragon and Tiger of Huaxia. This guess caused the Huaxia Genetic Longhu List to become extremely lively, even though no one challenged it. Unfortunately, the battle that countless students were looking forward to did not happen.
Xu Tui had been extremely silent ever since he returned from the Extra-terrestrial. Other than the occasional sights of Xu Tui in the library and self-study rooms, even Xu Tui had disappeared from the cla.s.sroom and canteens, not to mention challenging the Longhu Overall Rankings.
On the contrary, during the actual combat on Mars, many of the students around Xu Tui caused waves. The first thing that attracted attention was the second-year Tiger, Cui Xi, challenging the second-year Dragon, Dai Lijun.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, in the second and third years, the Mystery Branch would be the dragon, while the Extreme Branch would be the tiger. It was extremely difficult for an Extreme Branch tiger to defeat a Mystery Branch dragon.
Huaxia’s Longhu List was an example.
However, what was surprising was that the second-year Tiger, Cui Xi, relied on his astonishing defense to forcefully resist the sea of fire of the second-year Dragon, Dai Lijun. In the end, he used his iron rod to knock Dai Lijun out.
He successfully became a second-year dragon. Then, Cui Xi fought the Longhu Overall Rankings. If his attacks did not work, he would defend. In any case, no matter who it was, they would definitely faint if he approached them.
Cui Xi fought his way into the top 50 of the Longhu Overall Rankings. His combat strength was astonishing!
The third-year Tiger, Luo Murong, had obtained the position of the third-year Dragon and had charged all the way to the third place on the Huaxia Longhu Overall Rankings! He was in the limelight for a moment!
What shocked the third-year and fourth-year students the most was that Yan Lie, who had always been short and weak, had also advanced by leaps and bounds. He had become the third-year Tiger!
In the past ten years, the position of the third-year Dragon and Tiger had been occupied by the Extreme Branch students.
Yan Lie had even entered the top ten of the Longhu Overall Rankings. Unfortunately, he did not manage to defend it. In the end, he fell out of the top 10! The other students, such as Yan Xuejin, Miao Huanshan, Li Zheng, and the others, had their strength ranked on the Huaxia Longhu List.
Ordinary students could not understand. However, those who had partic.i.p.ated in this year’s Mars actual combat, especially the students who had partic.i.p.ated in the second energy overflow combat circle, could tell.
At that time, all the students who had gathered around Xu Tui, especially those who had been illuminated by the red jade slip, had their strength increased greatly after the battle.
Of course, only a few people could tell that.
Just as everyone was looking forward to or waiting for Xu Tui to challenge the Dragon and Tiger of Huaxia, Xu Tui secretly saw someone in a cafe in the capital.
Shi Hong, the person-in-charge of the Huaya Sector’s outreach of The Myth.
