Chapter 495: I Never Trick My Friends (1)

Despite his feelings, there was no running away from a debt to the Xia Family.

With the rules established, they naturally needed to follow the rules. Just look at how even Hong Tan was prepared to sell the research center.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Su Yu said nothing else. After assigning everyone their respective tasks, he proceeded to work on his plans.

...

He completely ignored the Foreign Students Faculty.

However, the foreign students did not stop.

Not long after Xia Qing's fight with Zhu Hong, someone else from the Foreign Students Faculty challenged the ranking. This time, that person did not claim to be Su Yu's friend. Nevertheless, a single character student was challenged and beaten up quite badly.

But with the previous example set by Xia Qing, everyone assumed that this foreign student was also Su Yu's friend.

This was a rather smart plan.

As their opening move, Xia Qing made the purpose of her fight clear.

For the second move, they no longer needed to say anything, or it would look like they were being too deliberate. And since the single character faction was their target both times, it became obvious to the masses that they were acting on behalf of Su Yu.

The truly smart ones naturally knew the truth, but the clueless ones would believe everything they were seeing.

...

Mental Tempering Garden.

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to do anything about the Foreign Students Faculty. That was not an issue for him. As for his loss of reputation...that was something that would be resolved very soon.

His current priority was to get his research center up and running before producing a method to fuse acupoints faster.

Special zone.

Su Yu knocked on a certain door unhesitatingly. The door swung open, revealing Wu Lan behind it. Before she could speak, Su Yu said, "I am here to invite you to the Source Soul Research Center. Do not believe whatever rumor you hear. I don't even know those foreign students, while both of us are old friends. Are you going to trust those outsiders instead of an old friend like me?"

Wu Lan stared at Su Yu in stupefaction.

Su Yu said, "My research center is in dire need of high-end talents. I remember that during the Nanyuan exam, you had taken first place for the culture test with 33 mastered languages..."

Slowly, the stupefied expression of Wu Lan turned into a smug expression.

Yes. She had taken first place in the culture test.

"That was because not all the languages I knew were tested. In truth, I already knew 36 languages back then!"

Wu Lan looked proud. Su Yu was nothing. In terms of language, Su Yu was basically her little brother. She was over 100 marks ahead of him in the culture test!

Of course, he wouldn't let his emotions show. Instead, he said, "Our first difficulty is a small inconvenience. We need to make a catalog of the various racial abilities and foundation cultivation methods of the myriad races. We need to give a simple description of the racial abilities and cultivation methods of each race listed in this catalog.

"This won't be too difficult. We can gather some information from the library, along with a summary of these races, their abilities, and their cultivation methods. But the library does not have enough information.

"We need a more complete database with proper classification of all races, their abilities, and their cultivation methods. This will be a massive undertaking. The human race has never stopped collecting information about the myriad races, but previously, our classification has always been based on the strength of the races instead of their abilities and cultivation methods."

Su Yu shook his head, "This is an illogical way of doing things."

Wu Lan blanked out. How was that illogical? Wasn't that the easiest way for everyone to learn more about these races?

Su Yu explained, "We are researching the cultivation methods, characters, acupoints, and apertures of the myriad races. Different topics of research will require different classifications. Thus, we need to reorganize the information available to us. This is a very important task. And it is now yours. Can you do it?"

Su Yu added, "We need it to be done as quickly as possible. And we need our database to be as complete as possible. The other sources of information are still too lacking for us. With the sheer number of races in existence, gathering and organizing all this information would be very troublesome. Even so, I still need this to be done quickly."

Wu Lan started to feel pressured. She hurriedly asked, "When do you need the task to be completed?"

"It's better if it can be done within one week." Su Yu solemnly said, "And this is only the start. If we mess it up at the start, we will only be faced with even more difficulties in the future. I do not wish to get stuck doing the same research for decades without any result. I wish to get some results as early as possible."

Wu Lan felt even more pressure. Gathering and organizing the information of thousands of races in one week into new classifications. That was...too difficult. Sure enough, being the leader of the Breakthrough Team was no easy job.

Wu Lan solemnly asked, "Can you recruit more helpers?"

Su Yu shook his head, "Wu Lan, this research concerns the secrets of humanity. Don't take this lightly just because we are mere youngsters. We can only allow those we trust to take part in our research. People like you. People like me. As for the other people in the academy...I don't know who I can trust."

Su Yu said, "Therefore, only I, you, my senior sister, and Hu Qiusheng will join hands for this task. We will help you, so you don't need to feel too pressured."

Wu Lan nodded, but she still felt greatly pressured.

True. This was top secret. They couldn't let just anyone know about it.

Su Yu said, "I need to make something else clear. Our research center is currently very poor. We lack the starting fund. Thus, we are all paying out of our pockets to start this project. I am in charge of purchasing a defensive formation worth tens of thousands of merit points for the research center.

"Teacher Zhao Ming is in charge of purchasing some devices and research materials for the research center. That won't be cheap, either. Hu Qiusheng and Jiang Mu are in charge of purchasing a large amount of cultivation manuals, books, diagrams, and so on to build up the research center's library..."

Su Yu sighed, "If you wish to join, you need to contribute as well. I have ordered copies of many books at the library. A payment of 300 merit points is required. If you're willing to join, you may pay for that..."

"300 merit points?" Wu Lan blinked before nodding, "Sure. The start is always the hardest, no matter what you do. I understand this."

"Thanks!" Su Yu said, "Every contribution will be recorded. I will repay all of you when the time comes. You don't need to feel embarrassed about that. A debt is meant to be paid. Or perhaps I can allow all of you to have priority over our research results. Everything you have contributed today can be used to claim our future results and benefits."

Wu Lan nodded and said nothing else. 300 merit points...that wasn't a small sum of money, but it wasn't too big either. She was rich enough to afford that.

"Let's not waste time. Wu Lan, I still need to take care of something else. Do you want to start immediately? Can you go to the library and pay up before returning with the copied books?"

"Now?"

Wu Lan looked at the sky. It was getting dark. She had yet to have her dinner.
