He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 117 Game Project Launch
Li Ji smiled knowingly.

Senior Gu Yuqing has always been both decisive and gentle, and her overall image is that of an older sister.

At this moment, however, I inexplicably feel like a child.

"I understand, Senior Dolly just likes to joke around, Senior Yuqing, you don't need to mind her."

Gu Yuqing's expression froze; she looked like a bewildered deer.

"It's getting late, I should go. I have a feeling my living fathers need me."

Lee Ki walked through the snow towards the portal below.

He turned around and waved to Gu Yuqing: "The scenery is nice, let's go see it together next time!"

Li Ji passed through the portal and plopped down on top of the car's driver's seat.

The driver's seat is above your head, and the steering wheel is upside down in front of you.

The windshield was cracked, the car was hot inside, and everything around was on fire.

"What the hell? Where did I get this from?"

Professor Qi finished reviewing the Indian video recordings from Li Ji's group in his office.

She frowned as she read, annotating each segment.

"The fact that this primitive form of entertainment called video games can enable people to achieve upward social mobility, especially in a cultural context where racial oppression is so severe, makes it very worthy of study."

Professor Qi turned around to face Li Ji and the other three people who were sitting down.

“Your research report is very meaningful. You not only experienced the lives of people from different castes, but also the treatment they received from God.”

"Your report will be used in this research project, and your names will be added to the project."

"This project is at the provincial level, which is enough for you to apply for scholarships."

Dailulu suppressed a smug laugh, feeling smug that she had the scholarship in the bag.

Money isn't important; what matters is honor, after all, she doesn't like money.

Li Ji also really wanted a scholarship.

The school-level scholarship is 2000 Union Coins.

The Star System Scholarship costs 5000 Alliance Coins.

Provincial scholarships can reach up to 10000 Union Coins.

If there is a chance to obtain a scholarship at the Interstellar Alliance level, it would be worth 100000 Alliance Coins.

For someone with seven-figure negative assets, this can alleviate a lot of pressure.

The reward for the last mission to capture the deliveryman in India was increased to 2000 Union Dollars due to a last-minute upgrade.

My current account balance is 3946 Alliance Coins.

Although it's a long way from paying off the loan, my income is growing rapidly, so I can at least have a few good days before I'm taken out of business.

Li Ji's biggest problem in applying for scholarships is his poor grades.

This project helped raise his average score to 64.3.

However, compared to Dailulu's 96 points and Nini's 88 points, there is still a slight gap.

Without better projects to rely on, it would be difficult to compete with students from other majors, let alone surpass Nini.

Everyone left the office, but Li Ji stayed behind alone.

"Professor, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Professor Qi put down his work and turned around in the mechanical chair.

"If you're asking about scholarships, I can write you a letter of recommendation. Professor Wilde would probably be willing to write one too. It might not guarantee you a scholarship, but it would still have some positive impact."

Li Ji was flattered, and his three eyeballs involuntarily bent backward: "Thank you, Professor. I am very grateful for your help."

"You're welcome. All you have to do is be my slave."

Professor Qi smiled kindly, as if he were talking about something trivial.

Lee Ki's pupils dilated; he was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Old lady, is it really that serious?

Professor Qi chuckled twice: "Hahaha, this is a classic Earth joke. Li Ji, it seems your Earth-related sense of humor needs improvement." Not funny at all!
You old rascal, where did you learn this kind of joke from?
"Professor Qi, actually I wanted to ask about something else."

Do you remember that person who went from being a foodie to achieving the pinnacle of life through video games?

Although this peak lasted only ten minutes.

Although it was quick, at least I had a good time.

"I remember the example of using video games to achieve upward social mobility is very valuable for study. It might even have practical significance in resolving the current racial conflicts within the alliance."

Li Ji pointed to the three eyes, then began to spout nonsense: "That's what I think too."

"Therefore, I hope to develop a video game as learning material."

"It can help our students become more familiar with Earth knowledge."

"We can also experiment to see if this is effective in alleviating racial tensions."

Professor Qi's previously drowsy eyes snapped open.

"Good idea!"

"I'll handle the licensing approval. After all, this activity generates a lot of dopamine. Without the necessary licensing for educational purposes, it's definitely illegal."

"I'm confident in my qualifications. But 'to be frank,' that's an Earthly phrase, and it means—"

Li Ji immediately interjected: "It emphasizes speaking frankly in communication and explaining potential difficulties or unpleasant things in advance to avoid future misunderstandings or conflicts."

Professor Qi smiled and tapped his finger: "Excellent. You have a good grasp of Earth phrases."

"To be clear, the department has limited funding, and the Education Committee has been keeping a close eye on things lately."

"You'll have to figure out the funding yourself."

"Teaching aids don't need to be too sophisticated; just enough to convey the general atmosphere is sufficient."

These words sounded familiar to Li Ji.

When I was in school, the teacher said the same thing when printing out study materials, but as a result, all the pictures on the exam questions were completely black.

In the history exercise, the question about the emperor who unified China had four options, all of which were black portraits of Black people.

"I'm very grateful that the professor was able to help me with the qualifications; I can handle the funding."

Li Ji had already figured out how to fool Dai Lulu.

“Do a good job on this project. If you succeed, it might actually help you apply for a provincial scholarship.”

Li Ji left Professor Qi's office and rushed to the school's space station without stopping.

The penguin driver of the dilapidated flying saucer saw him hurriedly crawling over and honked the horn twice impatiently.

“dudala~”

“dudala~”

His shrill voice came from the UFO's loudspeaker: "Kid! Hurry up! If you're even a second slower, I'll fly out of here!"

Li Ji waved his tentacle at him: "Fly! Aru! I'm not going to the asteroid belt today!"

"Is that a spaceship heading to the main planet?"

Li Ji's tentacles were pointing to a large spaceship docked in front of him, with a streamlined shape and a shiny silver hull.

It's not even in the same league as this old, dilapidated flying saucer in front of me, where seven of the light balls have gone out.

"Yes. You've gone mad, kid. You can't pay off your loan, are you just going to go to the main planet, squander all your credit and wait to die?"

"I have money, so you don't need to worry."

Li Ji boarded the spaceship bound for the main star.

The spaceship even has seats, which is much better than having to stand the whole time on that broken little flying saucer.

The seats are divided into two layers, with the upper layer being inverted and mounted on the ceiling.

Li Ji chose the upper-level ticket, which was 15% cheaper.

He looked out the window as the spaceship sailed out of the port and into the vast expanse of space.

In the distance, there is a pink planet, with a white atmosphere slowly rotating in its outer layer.
