Although he was very curious about what Meng Hongchen was trying to do, Xu Tianxi still cooperated and used the Mirror Flower and Water Moon to conceal the existence of Meng Hongchen.
No matter what, one should be cautious when it comes to such conspiracies. If they are accidentally discovered and spread by some unscrupulous campus paparazzi, the silly Xiao Hongchen might come and pick a fight with him.
Dean Jing Hongchen, who is kind-hearted and plump, will probably also be wary of this "potential young man".
"Hehe, that guy Xiao has been plotting recently to give you, the junior, a blow from the hateful senior. I, a kind-hearted senior, can't bear it, so I want to help you."
After making sure that no one would see him, Meng Hongchen very familiarly picked out a few notebooks and pushed them to Xu Tianxi's study desk. While flipping through the beautiful handwriting in the notebooks, he instructed:
"Here, these are some of the theories and ideas that I marked when I was preparing for the first-level soul mentor exam, as well as some exam questions that I wrote down. The exam content of the academy has not changed much over the years."
"As long as you can understand all of this, passing the written test will definitely not be a problem. Xiao, that guy, is more talented than me in manipulating soul guides, but he can't match me in theory…"
Xu Tianxi followed Meng Hongchen's explanation for a while, nodded as he read, and soon couldn't help asking:
"Senior Meng, you are helping me like this, don't you have any special purpose? If you need anything, please tell me first. Although I am a refugee, I am not completely penniless."
Meng Hongchen pondered for a moment, then smiled at Xu Tianxi and said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "Little brother, you may not have a specific concept of the financial resources of our Hongchen family. Talking about money is vulgar. I never make friends based on whether others are rich or not."
Xu Tianxi's mouth twitched: "How about I make you a few fixed-type soul guide shells? I can't say they are high-level, but level three is definitely no problem. At least it's a token of my appreciation."
Meng Hongchen folded her hands on the table, her eyes moved suddenly, flashing with cunning light, and she said with a smile: "Senior sister helped you because I thought you were good-looking... I thought you were very energetic when you debated with Director Lin in class, and what you said was very meaningful. After a few years when your soul guidance technology improves, you can talk to me about your ideas and research? Senior sister is investing in advance today, how about it?"
Xu Tianxi's pupils shrank suddenly. Damn! Academic Daji has set her sights on me!
Oh no, Academic Daji is a waste. Meng Hongchen's talent is almost as good as Xiao Hongchen's. She will definitely become a Titled Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Instructor in the future. She cannot be considered Academic Daji.
Moreover, his grandfather's soul guidance technology is several times higher than his own. Although Xiao Hongchen is stupid, he still has some level of soul guidance skills, so the other party does not need to take advantage of his scientific research results.
If I can establish a good relationship with this person, it should be much smoother when I need support for projects in the future...right?
"How is it, junior? How have you considered my suggestion? I know the dean very well. If your idea is okay, I can help you and the dean get enough funds."
Seeing that his junior seemed to be too wary of him, Meng Hongchen felt that he needed to show his generosity as the heir of the Hongchen family and directly make the other party give up the idea of repaying the favor with money.
The dean's granddaughter would be short of money? That's impossible.
Xu Tianxi thought seriously for two seconds, nodded decisively to thank him, and gave a thumbs up to make a promise:
"Senior sister, you are so generous. I won't refuse. I will definitely not forget you if I have scientific research achievements in the future!"
I still have to eat at the other party's grandfather's college, and it is not impossible to give him a number one position in the future. Now that things have come to this, if I don't agree, it would be a lack of face.
What's more, he knows exactly how much value there is in what he said. The general direction is naturally fine, but how much time and energy it will take to produce results... All we can say is that the future is promising.
In this turbulent era of Douluo Dalu, Jing Hongchen led the team to develop the No. 0 Mecha, which was stolen by Huo Gua during the attack of the Benti Sect on Mingde Hall. Xuan Ziwen, who developed the first generation of battle armor, was also recruited by Huo Gua to work as a laborer in the Tang Sect for many years.
Mingdetang's years of hard work have all been used to help Shrek and Tang Sect, which is really tragic. Now that he is here, he must keep these two things in his hands.
At present, our imitation ability is very strong, but how strong our innovation ability is is still unknown.
"Well, you are really likable, little brother. I am looking forward to you becoming a ninth-level soul mentor earlier than Xiao."
Xu Tianxi agreed so readily that Meng Hongchen immediately smiled, with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.
That guy used to keep yelling about how lonely it was to be invincible in the academy. I personally helped him train a future rival this time. He should be very grateful to me, right? Hehe, this little brother really looks like he wants to be bullied, especially his bright eyes. The mark between his eyebrows is also very charming. His martial spirit is indeed unique...
Xu Tianxi could tell from Meng Hongchen's happy eyes that this senior was probably a person who liked to watch the fun and was only trying to make trouble for her good brother. However, they were equals at the moment, so he felt relieved. With his gift of photographic memory and years of practical experience, wouldn't it be easy for him to pass this small first-level soul mentor assessment? There were less than three months left in this semester, so he set a small goal to pass the exam and upgrade before the end of the semester, and to break the record set by Young Master Xiao Hongchen, and to let this senior Meng Hongchen see what she wanted to see.
I believe that after the novelty wears off, this senior sister will probably no longer be interested in me. She might even try to balance things out and urge Xiao Hongchen to make progress every day.
As for whether he could succeed, Xu Tianxi felt that it was not a problem at all. If he followed the standard of Douluo Three Kingdoms that "as long as you can carve out the core magic array of the corresponding level, you can be promoted to a soul engineer", he would have already been a fifth-level soul engineer, and he could even try to become a sixth-level soul engineer.
In Sun and Moon, the only thing that stood in his way was theoretical knowledge. After a month of bloody battles in the library, even if he had passed the Level 4 and Level 6, what else could he be afraid of?
Under Meng Hongchen's instruction, Xu Tianxi absorbed knowledge tirelessly, occasionally asking some whimsical questions: "By the way, senior sister, when our soul guides process rare metals, do we have to use the blacksmith's method? Are there other methods, such as using water power and wind power?"
Meng Hongchen: "??? (⊙o⊙)…"
What strange things is the junior talking about? Why can't she understand? "The creativity of soul masters is unlimited. I think we can use more ways to simplify our work. For example, when I was in Xuanming Sect, I saw something like a water wheel. If this kind of water power is used well, can it also be used to cut rare metals..."
"There is also soul power, which is an omnipotent energy source. I think if we store it and use it to automatically power soul guide machines, it can greatly improve the work efficiency of our soul guides, and it should also be suitable for large-scale operations..."
Xu Tianxi took a pen and paper and wrote and drew. He quickly drew some sketches of his past life and tried to light up a new technology tree.
The blacksmithing craftsmanship in Tangjia Continent that has remained the same for thousands of years is really a headache. The metal tables in the Sun-Moon Empire are much more advanced, but he thinks that the efficiency is still very low and there is no standardization.
If you want to increase production capacity and conquer the Three Kingdoms, you have to come up with something like an assembly line? Meng Hongchen grabbed the straw paper and used his brain to imagine the scene according to Xu Tianxi's words. He seemed to have grasped something in a daze, but he couldn't seem to understand it.
"You...wait a moment, I'll call a professional to help ask."
Unable to figure it out, Meng Hongchen decisively chose to call someone and dialed a soul guide number, saying respectfully: "Hello? Is this Master Xuan Ziwen? I'm Xiao Meng. I have a very creative junior here. I just discussed some very interesting things with you. I think it may be of some help to your research on sealed milk bottles..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am in the library. This junior of mine is called Kong Tianxi. It is even better that you know him. I didn't expect that even you have heard of his name so soon…"
After ending the soul guide communication call, Meng Hongchen smiled at Xu Tianxi, made a "yeah" gesture with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Done! How is it, junior? Is senior sister very powerful?
Let me tell you in secret, the Master Xuan Ziwen that I just invited is the chief researcher of our Mingde Hall, and the leading eighth-level soul guide master of our Sun Moon Empire."
Xu Tianxi nodded honestly, expressing his absolute admiration for Meng Hongchen's strength.
As expected of the hall master's granddaughter, she can even call on scientific research giants like Xuan Ziwen at any time.
But Meng Hongchen just said on the phone that Xuan Ziwen had also heard about him. What was going on? He just fainted Lin Jiayi, the dean of teaching, and his reputation spread so quickly? A moment later, a gust of wind whistled, and a man who looked only in his early thirties rushed into the library and ran straight towards Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianxi who had just solved the illusion.
Meng Hongchen took the initiative to stand up and offer his seat to the master, inviting him to take a seat:
"Master Xuan Ziwen, you don't have to be so anxious. My junior brother Tianxi and I still have a lot of things to sort out..."
"Hahaha, I have to be anxious. Xiao Meng, you are the hall master's precious granddaughter, and you also introduced such a talented student to me. Of course, I can't let you down."
Xuan Ziwen responded to Meng Hongchen with a cheerful face, then stared straight at Xu Tianxi who was protected by Meng Hongchen behind him. He put his wrist on Xu Tianxi's shoulder and smiled warmly and kindly.
"Are you the Kong Tianxi who made that good-for-nothing Lin Jiayi faint yesterday? You are indeed a good candidate for soul guide research. I just heard from Xiao Meng that you have a lot of wonderful ideas that you want to share with me. That's great!"
"Come, come, come with me to my laboratory. Let's slowly explore the wonderful world of soul guides. There are many things that can be studied there..."
As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen didn't care that Meng Hongchen was frightened and Xu Tianxi was at a loss and full of surprise, and he was about to pull Xu Tianxi away with his powerful Soul Douluo skills.
Meng Hongchen felt very uneasy. It seemed that she shouldn't have asked this person to come here!
Without time to think more, she screamed and stopped Xuan Ziwen from forcibly snatching him away: "Master Xuan Ziwen, Junior Tianxi is mine now. Isn't it a bad idea for you to snatch him away directly?"
