Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 35 News about the Madwoman

After a short rest, it was just lunchtime.

Jiang Lang ate a casual lunch in the cafeteria and then headed to the Xinghuo Research Institute with the documents and letter of introduction.

He knew the school was full of grudges, but that was Ghost Eyes' business.

After all, Ghost Eyes would definitely rather crush Hu Lintian's group than himself.

As for myself, I have more important things to do.

The more important thing is to attract investment for the group.

The basic resources the school provides to each group are far too little, especially for a newly established research group like ours with a small number of members. The resources they provide are like begging for food, making it difficult to even feed a few martial arts students to the 10-star level.

If we don't provide Si Hong with work soon, the research group will really run out of funding.

The only thing to blame is the proliferation of factions, with each university vying for absolute monopoly over the research findings of its researchers. If they had accepted military investment, their situation wouldn't be so dire.

Jiang Lang shook his head and continued driving. After about half an hour, he arrived at the border between Qipu District and another wealthy district.

He parked his car, looked up at the sign for the [Spark Research Institute], and took a slight breath.

These days, almost all research institutes have backgrounds with warlords or foreigners. Even if there are exceptions, they are mostly insignificant nobodys.

But the Spark Research Institute is an anomaly.

Although the human race is currently filled with warlords who are openly and covertly fighting each other, they are nominally just colleagues who obey the orders of their "commander-in-chief".

The founder of the Spark Research Institute was the first chief administrator of the human race in the new era. He earned his position purely through force and prestige, and his influence far surpasses that of any current chief administrator.

Even the Star Cluster Cultivation System was proposed by the second Dean.

Therefore, the Spark Research Institute has a kind of spiritual totem feel to it. Even though it has long been separated from the military, it still holds a high status. Even key resources monopolized by various warlords can be bought with a simple request, and at a very affordable price.

of course.

The Spark Research Institute is also very clear-headed. It has not become arrogant because of its privileged position, but has focused on its research and has always maintained a moderate size.

All of the above contributes to Xinghuo Laboratory's authority.

"Hello! I am Jiang Lang, a student of Professor Su Yunchang. I would like to visit the director of your laboratory department."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The receptionist was a typical career woman. Chongjiang Lang smiled politely and then made a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, her smile became even warmer: "Mr. Jiang, please come with me!"

Then, he led Jiang Lang through the long corridor, passing by countless laboratories.

Inside the laboratory, staff members dressed in various research gowns were busy with their tasks, working quietly and in an orderly manner.

A cursory glance at the categories reveals that they cover almost all popular fields, from pharmaceuticals to genetic engineering and dark matter radiation.

It has a strong academic atmosphere, which is completely different from the feeling of brainpower and physical exertion in other universities.

Soon, the two reached the end of the corridor and finally stopped in front of an office.

"Director Lin! Mr. Jiang has arrived."

"Oh! Little Jiang, come in! What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you!"

Director Lin, a middle-aged man with gray hair, greeted Jiang Lang with great enthusiasm, took his wrist affectionately, and pulled him into his office.

Jiang Lang was somewhat surprised, not expecting that his mentor's status in the martial arts world was so high, that even the director of Xinghuo was so polite to him.

He didn't say anything outright, and immediately exchanged a few polite words of flattery with Director Lin.

Once the atmosphere was relaxed, Director Lin said with emotion, "Back when I was a student, I received a lot of guidance from Professor Su. In a way, he's like a mentor to me. Tell me what you need me to do this time, and I'll do my best."

Jiang Lang then took out the document: "Director Lin, the main reason I came here today is to ask you to prepare this investigation report."

"Let me see!"

Director Lin took the document with a smile, put on his reading glasses, and began to examine it carefully. But as he looked at it, his expression froze.

Jiang Lang's heart sank slightly: "Director Lin, is there a problem?"

Director Lin smiled politely but awkwardly, "Well, well, hahaha... Jiang, you have a sense of humor."

Jiang Lang: "..."

I think you have a good sense of humor.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that Jiang Tai was simply setting an impossible task for him.

Given the environment in Yunjin, everyone is incredibly shrewd. Upon seeing the "Seven Emotions Vine," how could they not understand who this report was targeting?

It's either internal strife within the vertical faction, or other factions trying to seize the vertical faction's market share.

If they also know his identity, then it's practically confirmed.

He pretended not to understand and continued to ask, "Director Lin, if there's anything that's difficult to do, just tell me, and I will definitely cooperate fully."

"Hey! This isn't a matter of whether we cooperate or not."

Director Lin thought for a moment: "This report is a bit too sensitive; I don't have the authority to approve it. Perhaps you could wait a moment while I consult the dean?"

Jiang Lang nodded: "Thank you, Director Lin. I have another request. When you consult the dean, could you please pass on a message for me?"

"you say!"

"I'm not afraid to admit it, but I am the illegitimate son of Jiang Tai, the Director of the Maritime Trade Office. My purpose in writing this report is indeed somewhat dishonorable."

But I'm also a resident of Liaocheng, and for the first fifteen years of my life I was just an ordinary citizen, so my perspective might be different from my father's. Regardless of factional struggles, the Seven Emotions Vine is something that exploits ordinary people to the bone.

I know it might seem hypocritical to say this from my current perspective, but I've always admired your institution's motto: "Regardless of wealth or status, black or white, whether under the blazing sun or a spark, if you have residual warmth, you should have the ambition to ignite a prairie fire."

"you……"

Director Lin was in a daze for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Okay! I will definitely convey your message."

After saying that, he gestured for Jiang Lang to sit and wait, while he ran to the balcony, closed the glass door, and made a phone call.

He seemed to be arguing with someone across from him, his slightly chubby cheeks trembling incessantly.

About five minutes later, he pushed open the glass door and came back: "The dean said he'd think about it for a bit. How about I show you around the lab first?"

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Director Lin."

Jiang Lang smiled gratefully and followed him out of the office, where they toured a series of laboratories.

Perhaps because the Spark Research Institute is rarely open to the public, the researchers who weren't too busy cast curious glances when they passed by, but they didn't say much and went back to chatting about their experiments or lives.

Director Lin seemed to know that Jiang Lang would make a wasted trip and was trying to make up for it. He was very enthusiastic in introducing the place throughout the whole process and even led Jiang Lang to a dark room separated by three security doors.

"Xiao Jiang, this document room is my treasure; you young people will definitely love it."

"Oh? Well then, I'll have to take a look!"

Jiang Lang was genuinely intrigued by his mysterious demeanor.

"Bang!"

Director Lin turned on the light in the dark room, and everything inside was revealed.

The walls were covered with photos and documents.

The photos contain blurry figures and various gruesome images of corpses.

These corpses were either not human-shaped or scattered in pieces.

Either the limbs are tangled and intertwined, or there is a "moth" character carved on the forehead.

Jiang Lang: "..."

Nima!

Why does it feel like I've entered iMo's base?

Director Lin crossed his arms, brimming with a sense of accomplishment: "All the firsthand information about Mo Li is here. I dare say that no one in the entire Yunjin has as much as I do."

Although the media is currently overwhelmingly negative about Mo Li, most of you young people probably idolize him. Feel free to visit, just don't take pictures.

"Why!"

Jiang Lang felt an indescribable feeling welling up inside him. He hadn't expected that the Spark Research Institute would be the first place where he could openly speak well of Mo Li.

He glanced at the analytical data on the wall and couldn't help but marvel at their formidable capabilities.

Director Lin explained from the side, "These are the on-site fluctuations we collected through various channels. To be honest, Mo Li is a genius. Although he hid it very well, we still detected the wavebands of four star clusters."

This demonstrates a genuine mastery of four star clusters, including even the nearly undeveloped constellations like Orion and Ghost.

His team is incredibly capable; they've developed his brain to such an extent that he can physically distinguish and utilize four different types of energy waves. I never even dared to dream of it. Ah, what a pity…”

Jiang Lang kept flipping through the documents, even finding a lot of information he didn't know.

For example, how did those warlords and foreign tribes discover the whereabouts of their team?

Even the plans for encirclement and suppression are archived here.

My own memories were re-emerged from a different perspective through these materials.

He flipped through the pages faster and faster, trying to reach the final result, but stopped abruptly just as he was getting close to it.

"Director Lin!"

"Um?"

"I saw on the news that Mo Li's entire team was wiped out. Don't you have... a list or photos here?"

"I don't actually have any. These all seem to be top-secret documents, but..."

"But what?"

"But I heard the dean has some."

"!"
