Even in Coastal City, it is the same.

The wolf-eared girl was leisurely nibbling on a chocolate Pocky, and she said softly, "It's said that this person broke through at Longteng University, and his partner, the Beast King, broke through at the same time."

"Really? I was there struggling to practice skills yesterday and didn't notice anything."

Lin Guang, who was sitting in the center and holding Lisa with his chin resting on the girl's head, also spoke up, "Yeah, a teacher explained it on the forum."

"Apparently, most of the phenomena from the condensation of true intention by the other party and the true body by the Beast King did not manifest in the real world. Instead, they merged into the network space of Coastal City through the ether network and star track, sparking many ripples, and causing quite a stir, which led to the network fluctuations."

This style... Lin Guang was somewhat familiar with it.

Could it be that guy?

The timing seems to add up.

After thinking for a while, Lin Guang sent a message to [This user does not exist], whose avatar was still black, and continued watching TV without waiting for a reply.

The voice of the host reporting the news continued to convey.

[With over two months remaining before the start of the biennial Mechanical Spirit Cup, Yuanhu Industry made a strong announcement yesterday that the group's founder, chairman, CEO, and CTO, True Master Li Feng, will participate in this competition.]

[Including Jie Zhi Heavy Industry, Lei Mi Group, and Yuedong Group, which announced their participation earlier, a total of four major groups with True Masters will personally be involved in this year's Mechanical Spirit Cup, making it a rare event.]

[A great victory, with the head of the Seventh Army of Yue Shui Province, the "War God" Huo Lingxiao, leading his troops to intercept the Demon God at the Outer Realm Horse Sea, engaging in a fierce battle for three days and nights, heavily injuring the opponent.] 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

......

Time passed by.

Night soon arrived.

Lin Guang stood in the yard of his villa, looking up at the projected simulated starry sky while holding his phone and talking to someone.

"Lin Guang, classmate."

From the other end of the phone, Liu Qingyi's voice carried a hint of a relieved smile.

"I've already completed the first draft of the paper. I can submit it to the journal of the Researcher Association for review at any time. We have a privileged channel, so it doesn't require a complicated process to publish."

"Of course, to truly achieve commercialization and apply it to standard arrays, it still requires extensive stability testing in various environments."

"The principal has already approved funding and manpower from the research department, so results should be out soon. By then, the True Masters in the school will likely help spread it."

"Don't worry," she continued, "once the paper passes review and mass production begins, your share of the technology royalties and credit points won't be short by even a cent."

"I appreciate your trouble, True Master Liu."

Lin Guang smiled, "I've been quite busy lately and really can't manage it myself, so I must entrust it entirely to you."

"What's the trouble? I would gladly welcome more of this kind of trouble."

Liu Qingyi spoke again.

"Then there are the subsequent hypotheses you've proposed."

"Lin Guang, classmate."

Her tone became very serious, "Are you really sure you want me to continue verifying these hypotheses for you while you remain as the second author?"

"You know, fulfilling the wish from those years and completing that subject satisfies me greatly."

"But you are different."

"Although it may take more time, if you verify these inspirations yourself and publish the papers as the first author, with the tremendous significance of these achievements, you could easily rise from an Intermediate Researcher to a Senior Researcher in an instant."

"In fact, because of your seemingly endless inspirations, I even think you might become a Spirit Beast Doctor within twenty years, becoming a legend in Blue Star's academic community."

"But if I lead the team and share these points with you..."

After listening, Lin Guang just shook his head with a smile.

"Things twenty years later..."

The young man said softly, "That seems a bit too far for me."

"I'm not lacking in honor. Besides, I've only provided a few possible routes, and haven't contributed to the specific experiments."

"Inspiration, too, has no value unless it's realized, just like potential."

"Potential that isn't realized is equivalent to being non-existent."

Lin Guang spoke lightly, "I even hope you can invite a few experts in the research domain to jointly study these subjects and produce results quickly, so the benefits I can gain in the short term would be even greater."

"I'm content being an ordinary person who enjoys the fruits, and receives money to the fullest."

"......"

On the other end of the line, Liu Qingyi seemed to detect a slight peculiarity.

In Lin Guang's tone, inexplicably, there was a sense of urgency, as if he knew or foresaw something.

—Was it the same as his intuition as a Spirit Blessed?

"...I understand."

After a long pause, she finally spoke, her voice carrying a sincere seriousness.

"Since you insist, I won't persuade you further."

"However."

"As a token of gratitude, and the first result of our collaboration..."

Her tone changed, and she spoke with a smile.

"In the process of verifying the Spirit Rune Array results, our team spared no expense to strip away that composite Spirit Rune Array, transplanting it onto other materials and creating a Spirit Pattern Crystal of it, pushing its development to Tier Five."

"After verification, this item doesn't hold much practical significance anymore. After all, once fully perfected and put into production, it will likely be just a matter of months, but its performance and material are absolutely fine, it's just not needed anymore."
