Li Tianming said again, "Little Qin, don't be so resistant. Think about it, don't I still have to help you get research credits and stuff?"
"I think, the two of us can settle accounts separately."
"I call you President Qin, and you call me Godfather."
Qin Siyang didn't answer.
He pulled off his chest pin, and with a "swish," summoned the Fangtian halberd.
"Old Li, I remember when you went out today, you didn't seem to bring any protective gear, right? If I thrust this halberd down, do you think you can take it?"
Li Tianming waved his hands repeatedly, "Enough, enough, I won't say anymore. President Qin, please!"
The two came to the front of the laboratory building, when suddenly a light screen appeared in front of them, blocking the way.
Li Tianming explained, "Similar to the red concealing barrier that the Black Dog used, this light screen is also a Zhao family protective measure, to prevent outsiders from entering at will."
Qin Siyang nodded, "Seems a bit higher-level. This light screen only shows up when we walk right in front of it, from a distance there's no problem at all."
"Of course. If the laboratory building on the South Glory University campus were wrapped in an obvious barrier, that'd be way too petty. Sometimes face-work has to be done."
"Principal Zhao said our information has already been recorded, we can enter freely, let's go."
"Alright."
The two went straight through the light screen.
The moment they passed through, the scene before their eyes immediately changed.
On the empty ground in front of the laboratory building were laid out all kinds of God-Hunting tools, divine remains, experimental instruments, and so on.
Wu Yu and several other professors were all busy with their own tasks, seemingly planning how the new laboratories should be used.
Lu Daoxing was still taking equipment out of storage boxes nonstop, scattering it all over the ground.
It was clear that moving house was especially troublesome for the professors.
"Eh, Old Li, Little Qin is here!"
Seeing Qin Siyang and Li Tianming arrive, they all put down what they were doing and came to greet them.
After exchanging a few words of greeting with Li Tianming, they all gathered around Qin Siyang.
Lu Daoxing slung an arm around Qin Siyang's shoulder and said, "Little Qin, I'm missing a kind of stone called Blue Water Glazed Ore, it's very critical."
Hao Liang quickly pulled Qin Siyang over, smiling as he said, "Little Qin, can you kill a multi-headed mongoose? I badly need its blood to research a new potion."
Wu Yu stood behind Hao Liang and chimed in, "I need the remains of a Tentacle Fox to study the abilities of its sequence…"
Qin Siyang looked at the professors all talking at once about the research materials they needed, utterly confused, "Everyone, wait a moment."
"No, what's the point of telling me all this, I can't just conjure them up for you."
Hao Liang said, "Eh, no rush. Anyway, you'll have to go outside the Safe Zone sooner or later, right? When you go, if you see these materials, just help us collect them."
"Professor Hao, wait a bit."
Qin Siyang frowned, "When I go outside the Safe Zone, I have my own targets, and usually time is very tight. I might not be able to help you."
"No problem," Lu Daoxing waved his hand, "Do your own thing. If you happen to see what we need, just grab it in passing. We believe in you."
"Believe in me?"
Chang Tianxiong laughed, "Mm, we believe in your strength, and we believe in your luck."
"Huh?", Qin Siyang didn't understand what these professors meant.
Lu Daoxing scratched his garlic nose, eyes shining, "Look, Old Li needed rare materials to set up a lab, and you immediately got the Heart of Vines."
"Old Li needed a treasure to hold the line, and you came back with the Crimson Crystal."
"Old Li needed a Thunder Snow Wolf's fang, and you killed a Thunder Snow Wolf on the spot."
"Old Li needed the corrosive sac of the Corrosive Black Centipede, and you turned around and killed one."
"Old Li makes wishes, you fulfill them."
"We've all figured it out now. Little Qin, you're really spiritual. If we'd believed in you earlier, maybe the shortage of research materials would've been solved long ago, and we'd already be enjoying ourselves."
"So, we decided, we'll tell you the materials we need first. Then when you go outside the Safe Zone, just look around, and I bet you'll quickly find them for us too."
Qin Siyang frowned and thought for a while, something felt off.
'Are these professors treating me like some kind of wishing pond turtle?'
'How can I possibly have that ability?'
Qin Siyang cupped his hands toward the professors.
"Professors, Confucius said not to talk of ghosts and spirits. My ability is limited, I really can't meet your demands. Please don't pin too much hope on me."
Hao Liang laughed heartily, "We're not pinning hopes on you, we're waiting for you to manifest miracles."
"That's right, Little Qin, we all know now, you're really spiritual."
Seeing the professors all looking at him expectantly, but seemingly without any intention of forcing him, Qin Siyang felt it was more like they just wanted to hang their wish on him, hoping it might one day be fulfilled.
'Fine then.'
Qin Siyang shook his head helplessly.
"Then professors, send me the materials you need most, I'll make a note. If I run into them outside the Safe Zone, I'll try to bring them back for you."
"Great!"
"Thanks, Little Qin!"
After noting down what materials each professor needed, Qin Siyang walked through the equipment scattered on the ground and came to the base of the laboratory building.
Only then did he notice that the entrance of the laboratory building was engraved with three large characters:
[Miracle Building]
Qin Siyang burst out laughing.
"Zhao Longfei's naming sense really stinks. Miracle Building? Sounds like it has no depth at all."
"I came up with it," Wu Yu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Professor Wu, you named it?"
"Yes. Principal Zhao said the entire laboratory building was up to us to arrange, so I gave it a new name. The words Miracle Building were chosen by me, everyone was satisfied, and then Old Lu found tools and carved them on."
"Professor Wu, why Miracle Building? Because you feel that since we were once forced to scatter everywhere, and now we've returned to the peak, it counts as a miracle?"
"No."
Wu Yu said seriously, "It's because your nickname is [Brother Miracle]."
"Hm?"
"The materials we need for research in this building are all extremely hard to get. You're everyone's biggest hope."
"So, we decided to name it after you. We hope you can create more miracles, so that all of us can break through our research bottlenecks."
Qin Siyang frowned, "If it's after me, why not call it [Siyang Building]?"
"Oh, because [Siyang Building] sounds a bit like worshipping foreign things. We're all eastern professors, and felt it didn't sound good."
"Also, your research ability isn't that great. Naming a laboratory building after you would be a bit inappropriate."
Qin Siyang slowly clenched his fists.
Wu Yu's words were really nasty.
This professor who looked all refined. Every time he opened his mouth it was full of jabs. And the worst part was, you couldn't really refute him, because he was telling the truth.
No wonder Hao Liang called him "the schemer."
Qin Siyang turned his eyes toward Li Tianming.
He couldn't shake the feeling that [Miracle Building] had something to do with him.
Li Tianming quickly waved it off.
"Don't look at me, [Miracle Building] has nothing to do with me. My suggestion wasn't approved by anyone."
"What name did you suggest? I bet it was better than [Miracle Building]."
"Little Bro Building."
