The method for creating an antidote to Star Martial Toxins has always been to develop a counteracting Star Martial Toxin to treat the symptoms accordingly. Where does this idea of a vaccine come from? But the Vice-Dean also knew that Wang Qi couldn’t possibly have traveled two hundred kilometers to Modu City to deceive him amidst her busy schedule. After digesting the shock in his heart, ecstasy instantly surged through the Vice-Dean. What did the advent of the Star Martial Vaccine signify? It represented a groundbreaking change. The crises facing humanity, aside from the unforeseeable large-scale invasions by the Demon Clan, were the endless hordes of Exotic Beasts that seemed impossible to eradicate. Exotic Beasts are cunning and their abilities varied. And among the many types of Exotic Beasts, which were the most troublesome? Undoubtedly, the Poisonous Beasts. This was because, as of now, there was no effective method to counter them. Over eighty types of Star Martial Toxin Vaccines developed in just a few days—the Vice-Dean instantly grasped what this meant. With this shortcoming addressed, the threat of Exotic Beasts to humanity was reduced once again. And it was the Star Martial Academy in Modu City that developed the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine? Thinking about this, the Vice-Dean felt like laughing. Of the four major Star Martial Academies, the one in Modu City was established the latest. But being last doesn’t mean one has to play the little brother, right? The Star Martial Academy in Modu City has strength, and it also has Eld Di, the Pillars of Heaven, as its dean. Descendants of the Qing Emperor and sons of the Flame Emperor are at the Star Martial Academy in Modu City; it should at least be considered the foremost of the Jade Country academies. And the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine was indeed developed by the Star Martial Academy in Modu City. At the next high-level meeting of the Ministry of Education, he, Nangong Meng, will have something to say! "Ms. Wang Qi, please wait a moment. I’ll make a call to inquire," the Vice-Dean said hurriedly as he took out his phone and dialed. After a long while, frowning, he hung up and dialed again. "Go and see what Director Sun Li is doing. Find her and tell her to call me immediately." "Dean Nangong, may I visit your medical department?" "Of course, I’ll take you there." The medical department occupied a three-story building; though not tall, it covered a large area. Even though Sun Li was in seclusion, the medical department was still operational. Apart from students who came for experiments and learning, the department itself had many elite professionals recruited from outside. They were not students of the Star Martial Academy in Modu City, but they were employees of the Academy. "The third floor houses the research institute for Star Martial Toxins. Our academy has made significant investments in the study of Star Martial Toxins. This research institute was established thirteen years ago, with total investments amounting to approximately eight billion. The study of Star Martial Toxins has always been our key research area, and Director Sun Li is among the top Medical Star Martial Warriors in the country. Unfortunately, any wound, pain, illness, or disability can be treated with Medical Star Martial Techniques, except for Star Martial Toxins... which are very difficult. The lethality range of Star Martial Toxins is too vast, covering hundreds of kilometers. A single exposure could affect thousands, even tens of thousands. Medical Star Martial Warriors can’t keep up with treating everyone. Therefore, the only solution is to study Star Martial Toxins to create an antidote." Suddenly, Wang Qi stopped in her tracks during the visit. All along the way, nothing had seemed different from other research institutes. But the moment she stopped outside this classroom, Wang Qi saw what she had been looking for. On the classroom’s blackboard was written a complex Star Martial Toxin Vaccine coding sequence. Only Wang Qi could instantly discern its coding pattern. Wang Qi entered the classroom and looked up at the code on the blackboard, an increasing sense of familiarity washing over her. She slightly furrowed her brow—it wasn’t the familiarity with the code that struck her, but with the handwriting. "Hello Ms. Wang Qi, Vice-Dean!" Sun Li’s voice sounded as she walked tiredly into the office. "Director Sun, why is your phone turned off? I recall requiring you to keep your phones on 24 hours a day." "I was in seclusion!" Sun Li said nonchalantly. "I was writing a paper. I only had seven days, and it was very rushed." "A paper?" The Vice-Dean instantly connected it to the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine matter and didn’t press further, simply nodding in silence. "Did Ms. Wang Qi come to... look for me?" Now that Wang Qi was a household name as a great scientist, Sun Li recognized her immediately. Looking at Wang Qi, who seemed like a young girl, a trace of envy flashed in Sun Li’s eyes. She’s nearly forty years old, yet she still looks like she’s in her twenties. "Director Sun, sending me over eighty vaccine samples all at once really gave me a shock. With so many samples, of course, I had to come and confirm in person." "I apologize, that was inconsiderate of me." Sun Li had indeed oversimplified things. If one sample was easy to make, wouldn’t over eighty be just as simple? But making one sample was a trivial task; making over eighty different samples was a massive undertaking. "The first time I received the vaccine code, I felt a sense of familiarity. After some scrutiny, I realized that the vaccine was created using the gene coding formula. I’m right, aren’t I?" Sun Li watched Wang Qi, her eyes flickering. "Ms. Wang Qi, you’re not considering charging a royalty fee, or not allowing us to use it, are you?" "I’ve already published the formula, so I certainly have no such intention. It’s just strange. In my estimates, the second person to master the formula and apply it practically would take at least three years. It hasn’t even been three months. But now I’m relieved... it was Wang Lan, wasn’t it?" Sun Li’s face broke into a smile. "Indeed, I couldn’t hide it from you, Ms. Wang. The gene coding formula is so difficult to learn. Wang Lan taught me for ten whole days before I could barely use it, and I still make mistakes often. To be able to come up with such a formula, you... I really don’t know how to describe you." "The formula wasn’t my idea. It was written by my late husband ten years ago, and it took me ten years to finally understand it. That you could learn to use it in just ten days is quite an accomplishment." "How long did Wang Lan study it for? You don’t know how arrogant he is. Even though he’s my student, he’d lecture me until I was speechless." "Wang Lan..." A gentle smile touched Wang Qi’s lips. Under Sun Li’s gaze, Wang Qi shook her head slightly. "Wang Lan has never caused me any worry when it comes to studying, and I’ve never taught him. He only learned of the formula at the beginning of this year. I always thought he was too busy with the provincial martial arts competition to be interested in such things. To think..." Alright, I shouldn’t have asked, Sun Li thought. Wang Lan was like a landslide in a group of geniuses. No matter what kind of genius you were before, once this landslide came tumbling down, everyone else looked like an idiot. "Mrs. Sun, is the paper you’re talking about the one related to the successful research of the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine?" "Is Wang Lan’s name listed as an author?" "Yes! His name is the first author. In fact, his name could be the only one on the paper. After all, the method for developing the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine was truly his own research; I just learned from him." "Without Mrs. Sun’s name, the paper might not receive the attention it deserves. After all, claiming a freshman solved a problem that has perplexed people for hundreds of years? That would be hard to believe." "Then thank you, Dr. Wang, for understanding." "I’ve decided to set up a separate production line dedicated to the prototyping and production of the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine. If your academy is interested, we could form a joint venture." "Really?" Upon hearing this, the Vice-Dean’s eyes immediately lit up. The financial benefits of a joint venture company producing the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine would be huge; even a fool would know that. And in the world, only Wang Qi’s Jiayi Biotech had the capability to manufacture Gene Potions. Wang Qi had absolutely no need to form a joint venture with the Star Martial Academy in Modu City. Even if the vaccine research was done by the Star Martial Academy in Modu City, Wang Qi could completely ignore them. Consequently, Wang Qi’s proposal was practically like gifting money to the Star Martial Academy in Modu City. "Of course! That’s the main reason for my visit this time." "Great, we can discuss the details further." "Um... I still need to write my paper. Dr. Wang, Vice-Dean, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now." After Sun Li left, Wang Qi was taken to the dean’s office by the Vice-Dean. "Professor, it’s been a while. How are you feeling? Still robust?" Wang Qi asked Eld Di kindly, her attitude completely different from when she met Ma Bo. "Hahaha... good, good! I’m no less fit than you young people. Dean Nangong tells me you’re planning to form a joint venture with the Star Martial Academy for the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine? I wouldn’t have known that the Star Martial Toxin Vaccine had already been developed if Nangong hadn’t told me. Great... This vaccine is crucial for the future of humanity. I absolutely support it with all my might!" Wang Lan only found out about his aunt’s visit to the academy in the afternoon when he received a call from her. Wang Lan was very happy to invite Wang Qi for dinner at the Star Martial Academy’s grand restaurant... which was just the academy’s cafeteria. Having not seen his aunt in two months, Wang Lan was very excited. As for when Wang Lan had mastered the gene coding formula, Wang Qi didn’t ask at all. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 Wang Qi had never doubted Wang Lan’s learning ability. Or rather, she was already used to Wang Lan’s demonic level of talent. His aunt didn’t stay in Modu City overnight. After dinner, Wang Qi hurried back to Suzhou City. Her visit was just a minor episode in Wang Lan’s college life. Sun Li successfully came out of her seclusion and handed the paper to Wang Lan for review and revision. After all, when it came to editing Star Martial Toxin Vaccines, Wang Lan was the real expert. The only things Wang Lan lacked were experience and proper formatting in writing academic papers. After three days of revisions, the final version was agreed upon by both. The paper mentioned two important steps. The first was breaking down the Star Martial Toxins and then editing the corresponding counteracting toxins; this prerequisite work belonged to the Star Martial Academy in Modu City. The subsequent step of editing the counteracting toxins into a vaccine using the gene coding formula was Wang Lan’s contribution. From a contribution perspective, Wang Lan and the Star Martial Academy in Modu City each contributed half. The publication of the paper was naturally left entirely to Sun Li to handle, while Wang Lan returned to his days of tackling Star Martial Toxins in the medical department whenever he had free time. Despite the busy schedule, Wang Lan was enjoying himself. Every day, three to five vaccines were developed, earning him twenty to thirty thousand experience points and over a thousand skill points. Sweet! Truly sweet! "Xinyu, today is my birthday!" Lan Qi said on Saturday noon, lying on her bed while playing with her phone. "Oh, happy birthday..." Jiang Xinyu replied, her eyes closed as she practiced controlling her Star Power. "I’m taking you out for dinner tonight. Consider it... celebrating my birthday with me?" Jiang Xinyu opened her eyes, looking at Lan Qi with puzzlement. Even though they were roommates, Jiang Xinyu and Lan Qi hadn’t become close friends. At least, their interactions were limited to the time after they returned to the dormitory from their studies. Besides, the two didn’t have many common topics of conversation, so Lan Qi’s invitation left Jiang Xinyu somewhat perplexed. However, she nodded after only a moment. "Sure!"
