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

Chapter 371 Published in a Second-Tier Journal, Professorial Team Collapses
The projected content overhead changed, displaying the table of contents for this issue of the secondary journal "Primitive Era".

Everyone quickly stared at the screen and began carefully searching for the name.

Delulu sighed, "Don't bother looking, meow. We're not here, meow."

Li Ji comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, there are still two publications."

"Earth science is indeed a sewer-level discipline; it's much harder to get published than other primitive civilization disciplines, meow. Professor Qi's research is so good, yet it only got published in a third-tier journal, meow."

"What's so good about studying Indians urinating and defecating in public in Canada? Don't worry, we'll continue reading."

Although Li Ji was verbally comforting Dai Lulu, he couldn't help but feel nervous inside.

He was confident that, logically speaking, their discovery of the connection between Earth's civilization and interstellar civilization would be a scientific achievement far superior to their research on the global Lag of Indians.

But he has no idea about the standards of interstellar journals. What if they read too many normal articles and prefer unconventional research results?

For example, the paper currently projected, "An Empirical Analysis of Watermelon Consumption Methods by Aliens."

The first chapter in the table of contents is "108 Cooking Methods of Watermelon People".

"It's really hard to fathom the selection criteria of editors for something like this to get published in a second-tier journal."

Professor Biyangde rubbed the hundred knuckles of his four fingers, making a crackling sound like firecrackers.

He said to Professor Qi with a grin, "They probably won't be able to get published in a second-tier journal, right?"

Professor Qi looked at his name on the big screen with smug satisfaction: "With all the students arrested and such a huge mess on Earth, how could they possibly have any good research results?"

Professor Wilde's voice came from the speakers, interrupting their conversation.

"Let's congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince, Li Ji, Dai Lulu, Sha Bao, and Nini. Their paper, 'A Major Discovery of Traces of Interstellar Civilization on Earth,' has been published in the second-tier journal 'Research on Primitive Civilizations'!"

"what?"

Bi Yangde, Professor Qi, and Professor D immediately opened their eyes wide and stared at the journal catalog on the projector, which clearly listed the names of His Highness the Crown Prince and others.

"Did they find the real thing?"

Upon hearing this news, His Highness the Crown Prince jumped up excitedly, overturning the flying wheelchair in his hand, and sending His Majesty the Emperor flying out.

He drew a red parabola in the air.

"teacher!"

His Highness the Crown Prince slid off on his knees and rushed out, managing to catch His Majesty the Emperor in his arms.

He trembled all over as he breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty the Emperor opened his three eyes in a daze.

"Your Highness, what happened? You seem very excited. Have you ruled the entire universe?"

"Teacher, it's not that serious. I was just published in the journal 'Studies on Primitive Civilization'."

"Really?" His Majesty the Emperor excitedly grabbed his hand. "As expected of my student, I knew you would get a cyst that was almost impossible to treat."

"Teacher, it's 'Research on Primitive Civilization,' a second-level journal."

"Oh, so it's chicken liver for headphones."

"Teacher, why don't you go back to sleep for a while?"

His Majesty the Emperor held the Crown Prince's hand and said earnestly, "I am truly proud of you. I knew you could do it. But don't be too proud of being published in 'Research on Primitive Civilizations.' Strive to be like me and be published in a top journal like 'Planet.'"

"Teacher, didn't you hear me clearly? And when did you ever log onto 'Planet'?"

"I was just dreaming, teacher, please go back to sleep."

"Alright! Whew~"

His Majesty the Emperor fell asleep instantly, snoring as loud as thunder, startling the students sleeping in the back row awake. Professor Biyangde gritted his teeth and congratulated him, "Your Highness, congratulations indeed! Crack crack crack—"

"Thank you for your congratulations. What was that clicking sound?"

"He's grinding his teeth." Professor Qi had removed his dentures beforehand, and his lips covering his gums made him look old, but this way he wouldn't grit his teeth when he spoke. "Congratulations, Your Highness, we can rest assured that the Earth Mythology Group is led by you."

His Highness the Crown Prince was all smiles.

"Thank you for the praise, professors. This is not entirely my doing."

Professor Qi feigned politeness, saying, "Your Highness is so eloquent, but we truly do not deserve such treatment—"

His Highness the Crown Prince interrupted her excitedly: "All of this is thanks to my lovely students."

"Eh? Are you really not going to be polite?"

Amidst the stunned gazes of the professors, His Highness the Crown Prince rushed off the stage and pulled Li Ji and the others up.

They basked in the cheers and attention of the crowd, as if they were standing on a podium.

Professor Wilde exclaimed excitedly, "This is our first paper published in a second-tier journal this year. What's even more remarkable is that this paper is an academic achievement led by young faculty members with high student participation. It's far superior to the work of some professors who are incompetent, lazy, and shameless!"

Professor Qi, furious, said to his colleague, "Did she swear?"

Professor Piyande touched his green face: "What she said makes some sense; my face really can't possibly turn red."

"That's how Earth is described! You idiot!"

No one paid any attention to the furious professors; everyone's eyes were on Li Ji and the others.

Shark Baby excitedly started dancing the electric twerk, its shark tail swishing rapidly, eliciting cheers from the audience.

Delulu waved her cat paws excitedly, delivering her acceptance speech with great emotion amidst the noise.

"I deserve all of this, everyone. There's no need to be envious. Only a beautiful cat like me, who combines talent, beauty, and diligence, can receive such an honor, meow. I will continue to work hard and create brilliance for Earth Science, meow!"

Looking at her like this, Li Ji said helplessly, "You're being way too immodest! Besides, the classroom is so noisy, nobody's even listening to you, okay?"

Professor Wilde continued, "It is precisely because of this new academic gem that our earth science is likely to increase its academic value, and the risk of earth science being eliminated will become lower!"

The hall erupted in applause once again.

After this climax ended, Li Ji and the others returned to their seats for farewell.

Milia sat in her seat, her almond-shaped, peach-colored eyes sparkling.

"Li Ji, you're amazing! You even got published in a second-tier journal, which is so difficult to get published in."

Shark Baby excitedly came over: "I logged on too, praise me!"

Milia replied perfunctorily, "Lielielie."

"hey-hey!"

Shark Baby ran away with a big laugh.

Li Ji chatted with Milia for a few minutes, but then noticed that He Ping, the Water Man, was watching him from not far away, still wearing that enigmatic smile.

Why is he looking at me like that?

"He might have fallen in love with you. After all, it's quite common for water people and slime creatures to intermarry, and they are both genderless and very tolerant."

"That's too weird."

When Professor Wilde's voice rang out again, Li Ji finally understood why He Ping was looking at him like that.
