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

Chapter 230 Li Ji's Invention of a New Mechanical Arm Shocks the Professor
Shark lay among the robotic arms, holding her phone; her inbox was overflowing with job offers.

"Haven't you been tinkering with inventions at the hotel these past few days? How come you've received so many job offers? Did Earth Company change its rules and no longer require interviews?"

"I fed an AI that specializes in online interviews with excellent interview videos from the internet. I let it submit resumes and conduct interviews on its own, and who knew it would get so many job offers."

Li Ji tapped the communicator and immediately released a holographic projection that looked exactly like him.

The projected figure smiled and waved at Shark Baby.

"Hello, interviewer. My name is Li Ji, and I am twenty-five years old. I graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and from MIT with a master's degree in Quantitative Finance. These two experiences are relevant to..."

Looking at the projected figure talking so eloquently, Shark exclaimed, "He's so talkative!"

The person projecting the message immediately replied, "Thank you for your compliment, interviewer. I believe that being eloquent is also one of my excellent qualities. During my time at Harvard University, I served as a debater in both the Chinese and English bilingual debate teams..."

Shark asked, "How come he can bring up an experience from everything?"

Li Ji didn't need to speak; the projected figure answered for him automatically.

"Personal qualities are hard to describe in words; they are more convincing when paired with actual experience. Every personal quality I listed on my resume is not boastful; each one is supported by corresponding experiences, most of which have quantifiable data. After all, I studied quantitative finance, so I am naturally more sensitive to data..."

"When will he finish talking?" Shark said helplessly.

Li Ji remained silent, only smiling.

The person projecting the message interrupted, "I'm sorry, interviewer, I got a little excited and didn't control the pace of my speech. I'll pay more attention to that in the rest of the conversation. That concludes my self-introduction. Thank you for listening."

The projection vanished in an instant, accompanied by the smile of the person projecting the image.

Li Ji remarked, "This AI is quite useful, much better than that little brat. If any Earthling is willing to call me 'Dad,' I wouldn't mind sharing it with him."

"dad."

"What's your name?!"

Shark Baby grabbed Li Ji's leg and said, "I want one too. Can he go for the bus driver interview in my place?"

Li Ji kicked Shark Baby away: "Impossible! This thing can only fool people online; it can't actually drive for you. Most importantly, being a bus driver is a job that has a significant impact on public safety. If you're not prepared, don't even think about getting the job."

Shark Baby's head drooped.

"Don't be discouraged. The latest version of the robotic arm is ready. I think it will work this time."

Shark Baby excitedly raised its head like a puppy, its red tongue lolling out and its eyes shining.

He excitedly rushed to pounce on Li Ji.

"Let me try it out, I can't wait to go learn to drive!"

"Wait a moment."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the teacher to turn on the surveillance."

Half an hour later, Shark was lying in the pile of robotic arms.

"Li Ji, why hasn't the teacher turned on the surveillance camera yet?"

"How should I know? Let's wait a bit longer."

The mimicry sphere suddenly sent a signal.

The two excitedly ran down the hill of robotic arms.

Li Ji said in a pretentious manner, "Shark, you want to apply for a job as a bus driver on Earth, but the job requirements for bus drivers are quite strict, including height requirements."

"But it doesn't matter. We've been working together these past few days to design a mechanical limb that will allow you to mimic the appearance of an adult human."

Shark Bao said affectedly, "Li Ji, thank you for your help. Let's give it a try." The professors gathered around the monitor projector.

Don't you guys think they're being a bit pretentious?

“That’s not important. Professor Piyande, your focus is always so strange.”

Professor Wilde smiled and said, "Li Ji's idea is quite interesting. Using mechanical exoskeletons to reshape the human body would make it easier to realize the movements of Earthlings. If it can be realized, it will overcome many technical difficulties for students."

Biyangde sarcastically remarked, "If his idea comes to fruition, it might threaten your job, right?"

Professor Qi glared at him disdainfully: "You're overthinking it. The practicality of this kind of equipment is one thing, but its promotion is another. Actual production would require matching the physical characteristics of different races, almost requiring a separate design for each race. The R&D costs are high, but the market is small. Earth sciences doesn't have that many students."

Professor Wilde added, "That's right. This kind of device is at most a customized version for a small number of students. To mass-produce it, unless thousands of people of the same race go to Earth, it has no commercial value. But it is undeniable that Li Ji's efforts are still very commendable."

"He's a good kid who's always helping his classmates," Professor D said, holding up the dumbbell. "I just don't know how effective this device actually is."

Professor Wilde said, "While I admire Li Ji's actions, he is not formally trained in this field, and his craftsmanship is at most a hobby. In addition, the design of this kind of equipment requires in-depth research into the science of human movement on Earth, a subject that has not yet been taught, so I am not sure if he has mastered it."

"The quality of materials on Earth is also generally poor, so it's estimated that it will be difficult to achieve the desired results."

"We mainly encourage the children's innovative attempts, so please be gentle with your comments later."

The professors all agreed.

Li Ji's voice came through the projection again.

"Shark Baby is here!"

In the video, a man about 1.7 meters tall walks out with a steady gait and natural arm swings.

The degree of bending of the knees and elbows is well coordinated.

The professors were so engrossed in watching that they became quite fascinated.

"Is this still Shark Baby? Could Li Ji have found someone to fool us?" Professor Biyangde tilted his green-skinned head and raised a question.

The professors have not yet offered any rebuttal.

As if he had heard this, Li Ji said, "Shark Baby, return to your original state and let's test it."

A burst of pulses flashed around Shark Baby, and it immediately returned to its original state.

The tiny land shark has long mechanical limbs strapped to its four limbs, all encased in a metal shell.

This was made using the iron pot that Li Ji just ordered.

Professor Wilde stared in disbelief, covering his mouth with emotion and letting out a soft sob, as raindrops fell to the ground.

His Majesty the Emperor fell to the ground, shouting, "My carpet!"

He simply lay on his back beneath Wilde, using his protruding catfish mouth to catch the dripping water.

Everyone asked Professor Wilde why he was crying.

Professor Oscar Wilde exclaimed excitedly, "Is this still my little shark? I'm so happy for him!"

"He was able to execute the movements so perfectly."

"The arcs of the arm and leg swings are just right, and the bends of the knees and elbows are also perfect, leaving no flaws."

"Shark has really grown. It's also thanks to Li Ji's invention. I never expected it to be so precise. It's really not easy."

In the holographic projection, Li Ji said again, "There are even more difficult moves!"
