Chapter 106: Chapter 45: Cut the Crap (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Reads)

[Shou Lei: The presenter from Mountain City University is so young?]

[Zhang Xiaogong: At this age, he must be in college at most, right?]

[Fenghu Xueji: Does anyone know him? Who is this guy?]

[Dark Red Thunder: No matter who he is, he’s so handsome!]

[Wu Tu: Hetui, aren’t you a guy upstairs? Want to fence? By the way, does this young man have a partner?]

[You Ruoming: The one upstairs, stop dreaming, that’s my husband!]

As Lin Su took the stage, the livestream chat, which had been discussing the new evolution of the Fire Cloud Dog from Mountain City University, suddenly took a turn. However, this diversion did not last long.

When Lin Su spoke those words, in a livestream with tens of millions online, there was a moment of blankness in the dense barrage of comments, followed immediately by a barrage of question marks.

At the seats reserved for Mountain City University, Shi Yuhua’s brows tightened instantly.

She paid particular attention to the words “cross-era” he used because she had used the same phrase shortly before when she presented her research results.

It felt like an affront to her.

Moreover, could research results really create dozens of new evolutionary pathways for the future?

Shi Yuhua couldn’t help but shake her head.

She did not think there was any research that could achieve such an effect.

Was this young man too young, too flamboyant? Seeking attention?

Mountain City University wouldn’t really let him go on like this, right?

Shi Yuhua turned her head to look at the seats of Mountain City University, including Qin Nan, everyone from the research institute looked calm, some even nodded in agreement after hearing Lin Su’s opening words.

For some reason, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis and couldn’t help but sit up straight, silently watching Lin Su on the stage.

As Lin Su’s speech ended, the venue stirred slightly with hushed discussions everywhere until everyone quieted down again and Lin Su, with a slight smile, opened the pre-prepared holographic projection file and began his presentation.

Soon, two lines of text appeared on the projection.

“A new evolutionary form of an indomitable duck”

“Researcher: Official Research Fellow of the Evolution Research Institute, Mountain City University, Lin Su”

Many people in the audience frowned slightly upon seeing these lines.

The medium elite species, the indomitable duck.

Even if this pet had a new evolutionary form, how did it relate to the bright prospects this young man had just described?

And why had they never heard of this researcher named Lin Su before?

Although the audience and representatives from various universities were puzzled, Lin Su had already begun his presentation, and they would not interrupt without reason, so no challenging voices were heard.

However, the atmosphere in the livestream became agitated.

[Xingkong Cherry Snow: An indomitable duck? Such a tall tale for this?]

[Sword of Judgment: Go search his name, Mountain City University really does have such a researcher! He’s verified!]

[Galaxy Descending into the Abyss: Lin Su is a high school senior; my cousin is right beside me, saying she’s in the same class with him.]

[Mist of a Hundred Years: What? High school senior? A research fellow before even attending university?]

[Wanmin Tang Boiled Fish: This is a scandal! Strongly oppose!]

[…]

Various comments, mingled with the venom of a few keyboard warriors, surged rapidly within the livestream, giving the chat a somewhat murky and miasmic feel.

On stage, Lin Su’s presentation continued, “This evolutionary path will allow the medium elite species of indomitable ducks to evolve into a medium supreme species.”

Upon hearing this, many nodded slightly in the venue.

Being able to leap three minor ranks in the evolutionary path was commendable, and such a young newcomer conducting this research could certainly add a significant mark to his credentials.

But still…

They still could not understand why Mountain City University sent this young man, instead of Qin Nan’s Phoenix Pattern Holy Butterfly.

“Next, I will demonstrate this evolutionary process for you all,” Lin Su simply said, then quickly nodded toward the Six-sided Rubik’s Cube already waiting beside the stage.

Under everyone’s gaze, the Six-sided Rubik’s Cube appeared in the center with an indomitable duck and a simple energy detection device, serving as Lin Su’s experimental assistant.

An assistant being a pet?

This was quite amusing to everyone, but soon their focus shifted to the indomitable duck.

After swallowing various evolution resources, the duck’s head slowly drooped, eyes tightly closed as if it had fallen asleep.

What’s going on? The duck fell asleep during evolution?

Before they could react, a dazzling white Evolution Light suddenly burst forth from the body of the indomitable duck, and in the center of the Evolution Light, the form of the duck rapidly began to change!

When the Evolution Light finally dissipated, what appeared before everyone was a duck-like pet that was taller than the indomitable duck, covered in shiny gold and blue feathers, with spiral tufts on its head and a deep gaze, giving it a mysterious look.

This is the evolution?

The audience blinked, their faces showing confusion and bewilderment.

The evolution resources are there, but what about the evolution technique?

Where’s my big evolution technique?

What? You don’t need an evolution technique to evolve? Just close your eyes, take a nap, and you can…

Wait a minute!

Many belatedly realized what was happening, and suddenly there were murmurs spreading throughout the venue.
