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

Chapter 370 of the journal has been released, and everyone is eagerly awaiting its release.

"The professors are here!"

The elevator light in the center of the classroom came on.

The students quickly returned to their seats.

He Ping, the water spirit, also found an empty seat and sat down.

He casually crossed his legs, which immediately caused an uproar.

"He's crossing his legs! It's a miracle that a Water Elemental can do that!"

He Ping smiled and waved to everyone: "No need for that, these are just basic little things."

"He's so humble, so handsome."

Li Ji kept a close eye on this uninvited guest.

"Pretentious. So pretentious."

"I think so too, meow. It's just crossing my legs, why doesn't anyone cheer when I do it, meow?"

Dai Lulu crossed her legs, her cat-like feet shaking incessantly, propped her chin on her hand, and stared at He Ping with a frown.

Li Ji wasn't jealous of He Ping's treatment.

Instead, He Ping made him feel a sense of urgency.

There is only one position available for faculty members in Earth Sciences, and Delulu is not competing for it.

Nini, our former rival, is no longer a threat.

They thought the situation was going very well, but then He Ping suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

With Milwall University of Technology's GPA transferred over, He Ping, who was ranked first by a wide margin, obviously wouldn't have a low score, which made Li Ji worry about catching up.

Secondly, this guy isn't a good-for-nothing like Nini. You can tell from how he uses water flow to mimic the muscles of an Earthling that he has a deep understanding of Earth science. His expertise in Earth behavior alone is comparable to that of Professor Wilde.

It will be a very strong competitor in the future.

Milia sensed Li Ji's worries and patted his back with her sticky pink hands: "Don't worry, I don't think he can threaten you. You've already joined the Earth Mythology Research Group, and I heard you've made some impressive research results this time. Once the results are released, he'll realize the gap between you two."

"Thank you, Milia."

Li Ji felt a little relieved. He had indeed established some foundations in geoscience, so why should he worry about this foreign water creature? He was probably overthinking it.

The elevator in the center of the classroom slowly rose, and all the professors appeared together.

Professor Wilde waved excitedly: "Students, it's that time of the week again to read the journals together. Let's witness the release of the list of major journals."

Professor Biyangde and Professor Qi whispered to each other, "Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to get published in a second-tier journal this time?"

"Who knows? The current publication system of these journals is unreasonable. Even the author doesn't know until the day of publication."

"That's right. Even the selection committee can't be leaked. My friend is an editor at a third-tier journal. He wears a bomb around his neck all the time. If the list of articles is leaked, he'll be blown up."

"Look at His Highness the Crown Prince's expression, he seems quite nervous."

At the other end of the professors' group.

His Highness the Crown Prince pushed a floating wheelchair, upon which lay the sleeping Emperor.

His Highness the Crown Prince was filled with worry, gripping the flywheel handles tightly with both hands.

The circular projection in the center of the classroom began to change.

"Let's take a look at 'The Primal Call' first. It's also a very popular Tier 3 journal."

The projection began to flicker, and everyone held their breath.

Li Ji was also a little nervous; he hoped his name wouldn't appear in the journal.

According to current journal publication rules, if an article is accepted by a higher-level journal, it cannot be published in a lower-level journal.

Conversely, if their article appears in a third-tier journal, it means they have no chance of getting into a second-tier journal this time.

If they fail to publish in a second-tier journal, the bet with the professors will not be completed, and the leadership of the Earth Mythology Research Group will be handed over to others. At that time, those professors will definitely not include them, a few students, in their activities.

Even if we let them participate, they would only be doing hard labor. It's impossible for them to be as generous as His Highness the Crown Prince, who is willing to share the title of a secondary author.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "I've got it!" Li Ji and the others immediately panicked.

"Got it? Who got it? I can't see it."

"Li Ji, use this."

Shark handed over a monocular pair of glasses.

"what is this?"

"These are all-purpose glasses; the prescription can be adjusted at will. You can't see, can you?"

"When I said I couldn't see, I meant I couldn't find our names, not that I'm blind. Aren't your eyesight very good? Why are you wearing glasses?"

"It's not mine, it belongs to Kuku."

Who is Kuku?

"He!"

Following the direction Shark Baby was pointing, a dark mole-man with eyes so small they were almost invisible was groping around in the corridor.

He kept stroking the whale-man's thigh.

"This is a pillar."

The whale-man said in a deep voice, "These are my legs!"

"Excuse me, I can't see. Where are my glasses?"

Li Ji said helplessly, "Shark, give the glasses back to Black Bear!"

"Oh."

Professor Wilde's voice once again drew Li Ji's attention.

Let's congratulate them!

Lee Ki's heart pounded, and he kept repeating to himself, "It can't be me, it can't be me."

Lahu, sitting in the back, grumbled, "Are all top students these days so pretentious?"

Professor Wilde's voice echoed in the classroom.

"Let's congratulate Professor Qi!"

Professor Qi smiled slightly, her face crinkling with wrinkles. She took a faltering step forward and waved to everyone.

"Professor Qi's paper, 'An Empirical Study on Whether Unclean Hygiene Habits Cause Racial Discrimination—Taking the Phenomenon of Public Defecation and Urinating by Indians in Canada as an Example,' has been published in 'The Primitive Call.' Everyone should read and study it when they have time."

Dailulu silently complained, "This paper's title perfectly matches the original 'calling meow.' I wonder when we'll get our paper, meow?"

Li Ji said, "It's better to wait a bit, preferably to a second-tier journal."

"I think so too, meow."

Several more lists of third-tier journals were subsequently released.

Professor Bi Yangde published "A Feasibility Analysis of Prohibiting Certain Genders from Eating at the Table on Earth within the Interstellar Alliance" in the journal "Pioneers of the Old Era".

Li Ji lamented, "How did such a utterly rubbish paper even get published?"

"The Old Era Vanguard is a journal that disguises itself as an academic publication but specializes in spreading extreme ideas. As long as this stinking journal exists, there will be a place to publish this kind of garbage paper."

I listened to all the third-level journals in the field of primitive civilization, but none of them had their names, nor did He Ping's name.

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems our findings are really going to be published in a second-tier journal. This time, the research team is safe."

Moreover, I didn't hear He Ping's name. I guess he just had better grades in school, but he's not as strong as Li Ji academically.

After all, what kind of achievements can a student from a school that has even had its Earth Science department shut down produce?

Professor Wilde announced loudly: "Now let's witness the second-tier journals."
