Goku, it's up to you

Chapter 280: Sunset Talisman, evolve!

"Senior brother, I'm not very sure about the talisman I've designed so far. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

Chen Xuan took out a pamphlet and handed it to Dean Ximen.

"of course can."

Dean Ximen had a smile on his face, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

The reason why he agreed to be a helper on this project was not only because of Mr. Zou's words, but also because he heard that the core issues had been solved and only some details needed to be polished.

But now that everything is ready, only this finishing touch is needed, but the result is that it is not sure. Isn't this nonsense?
"Ok?"

However, when he patiently opened the booklet and read on, Dean Ximen noticed something was wrong and subconsciously raised his eyebrows to glance at Chen Xuan.

The content of the entire booklet, in addition to the drawing of the talisman temporarily named 'Xi Mu Talisman', also comes with some notes on the deduction process.

just
Looking at the whole article, all the rune formulas can be said to be clear and logical.

From a theoretical point of view, there is no problem at all.

The only flaw may be that a few details are slightly sloppy, which will cause the running path of the talisman to not be perfectly closed, leaking a small part of the power, causing unnecessary waste.

but.
How could someone who could design such a talisman fail to fix such a small flaw?

Therefore, when Chen Xuan invited himself to give guidance, it was obvious that he did not really need guidance, but was using such a name to give part of his contribution to him.

"This problem of yours is not a small problem. I can't guarantee that it can be corrected directly on the spot. Why don't you delay it for two days and discuss it carefully?"

Dean Ximen nodded politely.

No reward for no merit, he just followed Mr. Zou's instructions and helped arrange for several students to handle project-related matters.

This little credit alone is not worthy of the qualification to share the results.

He didn't dare to take advantage of such inexplicable benefits.

"We're here, let's try it first. If it works out the best, if it doesn't work, let's think about countermeasures."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Originally, Teacher Zou specially reminded me to bring some souvenirs when I visit, so that if I need help in the future, I will be able to ask my senior brother to take care of me. I came in a bit of a hurry today. I didn't have time to prepare some fruits, so I came here empty-handed for the first time. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me, senior brother."

Hmm. Although I said I didn’t bring a souvenir, I actually did. By changing the name of the talisman, I made the other party the first author of the paper alongside myself.

Although the weight of a work depends on the influence of the paper.

But for a paper promulgating the new evolutionary form of demon spirits, it is definitely a great gift.

You know, in the academic world, there have been many cases of transparency. Just because they accidentally discovered a new evolutionary form of a certain demon spirit, they directly transformed themselves into the 'Father of XX' or the 'Mother of OO'.

Therefore, this amount is actually so heavy that it is difficult to call it a 'gift'. It is more appropriate to call it a 'bribery'.

of course
It's not because he is generous and willing to give away such a quota to others at will.

The purpose of doing this is actually to pave the way for your future academic path.

After all, with the brand-new talismans in his mind that have not yet appeared in the world, he will definitely have more than just this influential paper like this, and he will publish countless more in the future.

only.
Many scholars will not be able to publish a single paper in their lifetime, but if a college student under the age of 20 can publish it one after another with ease.

That is no longer suspicious, but simply impossible.

Therefore, he needs to find a reasonable reason for his unreasonableness-academic pendant.

Yes, as long as you create an "academic pendant" persona, then all the unreasonable things will become reasonable.

For example, this parallel work:
Although as participants in the paper, both of them knew who had copied whose paper.

But in the eyes of the outside world, Ximen Kai, as the head of the first college of Imperial University, has long been famous in the world even if he does not specialize in academics.

When such a big shot and a little-known college freshman work side by side, it's obvious who has the upper hand of whom.

Although in this case, Chen Xuan will inevitably be discussed, but the focus of criticism will only be on issues such as background and backdoors, rather than questioning why he can achieve such academic achievements at such a young age.

Today I 'took' Ximen Kai, and tomorrow I will ask Mr. Zou to introduce a heavyweight fellow disciple, and the same routine will be repeated again.

After repeating this several times, the persona of the 'academic pendant' has been completely established. No matter how many papers I publish, no one will doubt me.

After all, in the eyes of the outside world, he has not participated in the project at all, he is just enjoying the title of a work. How long will it take?

And
Even if everyone thinks he has committed academic misconduct, apart from making up a few sentences in private, he usually does not take any substantive action.

Because in academia, the real hierarchy is strict, and authority is only in the hands of a few people.

Once something is revealed, it will do no good to each other except that they will both die together.

So even if your heart is like a bright mirror, sometimes you can take the initiative to cover it with a vague veil, so that you can go a long way.

"If Junior Brother Chen Xuan is willing, it doesn't matter if I try it on the spot. I'm afraid that Senior Brother's ability is limited and he won't be able to achieve the effect you want. You need to think carefully about this."

Dean Ximen smiled slightly.

When he heard the other party mention the 'souvenir gift', he naturally understood what the act of proactively giving away a place for a game just now meant.

It's just that this kid hopes to take care of his senior brother by giving him benefits, so that he can protect him more in the Imperial University in the future.

He also gave a clear hint about this - he can give some care, but there is a limit, and it is impossible to indulge infinitely.

After all, I am not a member of the academic community. Being the first author of a heavyweight paper is just a lot of nice names. If I have one, it is best. If I don’t have one, it will have no impact.

Moreover, his job is to be a teacher, so he naturally has to be a role model and can only take care of things that are innocuous.

If he did something extraordinary in the future, he would not be able to cover it up. Otherwise, what kind of behavior would it be?

Therefore, the answer given was also emphasized to let the other party consider whether the "pay and return" is worth it.

"Senior brother, if you are willing to help, it is a matter of friendship, and if you don't help, it is also a duty, so no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will not complain."

Chen Xuan nodded in response, giving the other party a reassurance.

Obviously, what he really wanted and what Dean Ximen thought were not the same thing.

But it doesn't matter, it's a win-win situation anyway, it doesn't matter what the other party thinks.

"Okay, senior brother, I will show my shame."

Once the interest relationship was reached, Dean Ximen's attitude became a lot closer invisibly.

I saw him casually picking up a pen on the table and began to make drastic changes in the booklet.

If you only change a few imperfections, then naturally you don't need to spend so much time.

In fact, this gesture was only made for a few other students present.It's a complete set of acting, and if it can be corrected with just a few strokes, when the time comes for two people to work side by side, they will also notice that something is wrong.

After a while.

'call--'

Ximen Kai let out a long breath, pretending to be tired and handed the booklet back to Chen Xuan:

"I'm in pretty good shape today. I've performed beyond my level. I've been able to make so many just-right changes in such a short period of time. I'm still saying this, hahaha."

Several other students also promptly offered flattery:

"Teacher, you are being humble. He is clearly at his peak, but he always says that his sword is still young. But if I look at it, he is still lurking in the abyss. He will be able to reach a higher level in two years."

"Yes, others are dexterous with one hand. Teacher, you are dexterous with both hands. This is equivalent to the development of both the left and right brains. At your peak, you will be at least twice as good as others, and you will definitely achieve greater glory."

"To be honest, compared to other deans, our teacher's situation is completely different. The position of the next principal is definitely confirmed."

Listening to the bragging of these students, Dean Ximen waved his hand to indicate that it was enough, and then smiled gently at Chen Xuan:

"Junior brother, hurry up and give it a try. Today, senior brother and I will also be able to open our eyes."

"it is good."

Chen Xuan nodded in response.

Afterwards, while pretending to look through the booklet, he processed the materials that had been prepared in the laboratory.

First, fist-sized eyeballs were taken out from a basket, and an empty needle was inserted into the depths of the eye pupil to extract the juice contained inside.

This object is called 'Ghost Toad's Eyes', and it looks very similar to an eye, but in fact it is not an eye, but bumps on the back of 'Ghost Toad's' back.

These bumps are not responsible for providing vision, but if the opponent looks directly at them, they will cause a hypnotic and psychedelic effect.

The juice contained in each 'Ghost Toad Eye' is very limited. After the entire basket is drained, it can only accumulate a dose of one tube.

'Zi'

After pouring all of it into the talisman ink prepared on the side, Chen Xuan grinded it while picking off a few leaves of 'Sunset Grass' and threw them into it.

As soon as the leaves were thrown into the ink, there was no reaction, but after just a few seconds, they quickly inflated like a balloon.

Immediately afterwards, he was instantly discouraged and shriveled up.

However, the juice that seeped out from this also added a touch of brilliance to the entire ink.
After completing the preparation in an orderly manner step by step, Chen Xuan also raised his sword finger, stained it with some rune ink, and began to sketch out obscure runes in the air.

Not long after, a talisman emitting a warm orange-red light like the setting sun appeared in everyone's sight.

"唳"

The 'Red Light Falcon', who was originally locked in a metal cage with his eyes closed for a nap, suddenly opened his eyes after feeling the energy fluctuations emitted by the 'Twilight Talisman'.

Not only were his feet stomping, but his head was stuck directly into the gap in the railing, and his eyes looking out were full of excitement.

"It seems like it can really inspire a new evolutionary form?"

"I thought it was just a hypothetical experiment, just for a paper."

"But it's not necessarily a completely new form, right? It feels more like the talisman can relieve the parasitic state of the 'Starfire Firefly'. That's why the 'Red Light Falcon' is so excited."

Seeing this scene, several graduate students present could not help but look at each other and whispered among themselves.

"Shh-"

Dean Ximen on the side made a silence gesture and stared at the 'Twilight Talisman' suspended in the air.

Although Mr. Zou took the lead in introducing this project, it must have considerable credibility.

But at this moment, he was about to witness the birth of a new evolved form of a demon spirit. This scene, which was enough to be engraved in the long history, also made him feel a little uneasy.

Because he is not only a witness to history, but also a participant.

Even if the participation level only changes a few insignificant transactions.
'Om—'

As the 'Evening Light Talisman' was attached to the forehead of the 'Red Light Falcon', a strong wave of energy suddenly swayed, causing the metal cage to buzz.

I saw the talisman shrink into a point of light in an instant, pouring into the body of the 'Starfire Firefly' parasitic on the eyebrows, causing it to burst out as bright as the sun, making everyone present couldn't help but squint their eyes, and their vision was blurred Blazing white.

Fortunately, this brightness did not last long. The light spot was like melted candy, turning into streams of flowing liquid, extending from the eyebrows until covering the whole body.

"哳ANG——!!!"

The next moment, a strange cry sounded like a phoenix or a dragon.

The dazzling light completely dissipated immediately, revealing the falcon with a red vertical eye between his eyebrows, sunset light spots flowing around his body, and a noble and majestic temperament.

[Three-eyed sunset falcon, fire demon spirit, race rating 7 stars]

[The red eyes hang down like long flames, and the field of vision is covered with thousands of stars.The sunset glows in clusters all over the body, and the ancient trees stand majestically in their nests. 】

"It's really a new evolutionary form! It's actually successful!"

"This looks very expensive, and a poor guy like me can't afford it!"

"I feel like the race rating should have been improved a lot. Originally, the Crimson Light Falcon was only 3 stars and had not evolved yet. It was a piece of junk on the street. Now it is jumping over the dragon's gate, and the price keeps rising!"

Witnessing the historical moment, several students present hugged and shouted excitedly.

As for Dean Ximen, although he remained calm on the surface, his legs that kept shaking with excitement under the table also showed that he was in an equally excited mood at the moment.

Even if he doesn't usually specialize in academia, who would refuse a title with a lot of weight?
The key is, this title came with no effort at all!

Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Xuan again, with a little regret in his eyes.

When I first started school, I thought this kid was just trying to play, but I never thought that he was also extremely talented in academics.

If I had known earlier I shouldn't have been so arrogant. If I had been thicker-skinned and lowered my figure to actively win over him, the relationship between the two of them would not only be limited to brothers, but also the title of master and disciple.

Hey, there seems to be something weird about this relationship?

"Hurry up, open the cage, and quickly collect experimental data on the new form."

After being excited, several graduate students who calmed down a little urged each other.

"Well, the data collection will wait a moment."

Chen Xuan interrupted with some embarrassment, "I want to take it with me to submit a mission first."
