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

I?

Shall I pour you some tea?

No?

Are all illegitimate children this arrogant nowadays?

Jiang Zhu frowned, completely baffled as to where Jiang Lang got the courage to utter those words.

Jiang Lang, however, casually sat down on the sofa and reminded him again, "Second Brother, I'm thirsty!"

Jiang Zhu: "???"

Jiang Tai said in a deep voice, "A-Zhu! A-Lang has been busy all night, what's wrong with asking you to pour him a cup of tea?"

Jiang Zhu was shocked: "Dad? I..."

Si Hong interrupted, "Go pour it out!"

Jiang Zhu was so angry she could barely stand it, but she could only pour herself a cup of tea and push it in front of Jiang Lang with a blank expression.

Under the anxious gaze of the couple, Jiang Lang slowly drank half a cup of tea, then blew on it repeatedly.

It seemed like they only realized it was a bit hot after drinking half of it, as if they wanted to finish the tea before discussing business.

Jiang Tai couldn't hold back any longer: "Ah Lang, let's get to the point. How's your research going?"

"fine."

Jiang Lang stopped teasing them and took out a folder from his bag, handing it to Si Hong: "Aunt Hong, mission accomplished."

Si Hong quickly took the folder, flipped to the last page of the paper report, and immediately saw the test results she wanted most. A bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Good, good, the Si family's business is finally showing signs of revival.

Now, all the anxiety that had been building up overnight disappeared.

She knew why Jiang Lang had handed her the report directly, so she didn't mince words and immediately asked with a smile, "Ah Lang! I heard from your dad that things haven't been going very well for your research group lately?"

Isn't that just stating the obvious?

You're as stingy as a miser, how can we expect to get along?

Of course, you can't say things like that.

Jiang Lang feigned surprise: "So Aunt Hong has been keeping an eye on me all along. We are indeed lacking resources... no! We are very lacking!"

Si Hong took out a list she had prepared beforehand: "How could I not care about my own child? Auntie has wanted to help for a long time, but I've been too busy lately and keep forgetting. Ah Lang, is this enough? If not, Auntie will give you some more."

Jiang Lang didn't even look at it: "Then you should get me some more, the team is really broke!"

Si Hong: "???"

Even though she was in a good mood, she almost couldn't hold back.

You didn't even look at it before telling me to fill it in?

To be fair, she had already given him quite a lot, but she didn't expect this brat to get so arrogant.

But there's nothing I can do about it; I'm having a great time.

They just did me a huge favor, so I can't just turn around and embarrass them.

So she took out a pen and quickly added a few clauses to the list, then pushed it over again: "Ah Lang, I'm a school board member, and I need to think carefully before allocating resources. This is all I can offer in a short time. If it's not enough, I'll find another way for you later."

Jiang Lang then took the order. After seeing the amount, he nodded in satisfaction. It was enough for his spendthrift research group to squander for a while.

He stood up with a smile: "The more the merrier! Aunt Hong, don't worry, investing in our group will definitely be a win-win. So, should I take this to the registrar's office now?"

Si Hong nodded: "Yes! I'll call the academic affairs office right now, and you can pick it up when you get there."

Jiang Lang immediately felt relieved: "Then I'll go to school now."

"A-Zhu!"

Si Hong called out loudly, "Ah Lang doesn't have a car, you can give him a ride since you're going that way!"

Jiang Zhu: "???"

I watched the two of them leave.

Si Hong read the report twice more with great satisfaction. She really didn't expect Jiang Lang to actually be able to make this happen, especially since Xinghuo had only given him the minimum research and preparation resources.

After a while, she calmed down from her excitement and said meaningfully, "Ah Lang is still young. He has only achieved a little success and he's already getting cocky."

Jiang Tai smiled. This kid had just entered the door and immediately asked Jiang Zhu to pour tea. The two elders were so anxious, yet he still kept them in suspense.

It certainly got cocky, but...

"It's worth skipping, it'll be good to let him temper A-Zhu's temper. It's already this late, and he still can't stand even the slightest bit of anger."

"Too."

Si Hong wasn't entirely convinced, but she didn't argue further. Instead, she handed the report to Jiang Tai: "You should give the report to the Marshal as soon as possible!"

Jiang Tai smiled broadly: "Okay!"

……

Qida Parking Lot.

"Second brother, you're a great driver! Thanks!"

Jiang Lang jumped out of the passenger seat, casually praised him, and without caring how ugly Jiang Zhu's expression was, headed straight for the stairs.

There's a time bomb hidden in the research report; it could explode at any moment.

Although the bomb wasn't fatal, Si Hong could make a big deal out of it if she wanted to.

Therefore, we still need to get our hands on the resources as soon as possible.

The martial arts competition is tomorrow, so we can't afford any more accidents.

We took the elevator all the way to the sixth floor.

Upon arrival, they found Xu Yanzhi alone in the teaching and research office reading literature.

Jiang Lang asked curiously, "Xiao Kui, why are you sitting here? Where are the others?"

Xu Yanzhi didn't even look up: "The teacher is in the office, there's a video conference to attend. The others were taken out for field training by Instructor Zhou, who said they'd be doing special training for tomorrow's combat skills competition."

"Oh……"

Jiang Lang nodded thoughtfully, then pulled out his phone and dialed Ghost Eye's number: "Hey! Old Zhou, stop sending him to practice. Hurry back to the sixth floor, I'm going to show you what numerical inflation really means!"

"Grass!"

Ghost Eyes excitedly praised him and quickly hung up the phone.

Less than five minutes later, the group rushed over excitedly.

"Senior brother! You're finally back!"

"Senior brother! Has the village distributed fuel?"

"Is it enough for us to reach the 10-star dome?"

"Where's the order form? Let me see it!"

Everyone was incredibly excited, and Ghost Eye even rushed up and reached into Jiang Lang's pocket.

Jiang Lang didn't stop him, letting him take the document from his pocket, and smugly crossed his legs: "Old Zhou, now you know who's your father, right?"

"Father! My dear father!"

"Who's the trash?"

"I'm a piece of trash!"

"Speak louder."

"I'm a piece of trash!"

Ghost Eyes grinned from ear to ear: "What the hell are you all standing there for? Come with me to move resources, everyone break 10 today!"

The martial arts performers were also extremely excited.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"These past few days I've been avoiding Hu Lintian's research group; it's making me so frustrated."

"Let's get him!"

A group of people rushed towards the radiation room.

Jiang Lang then sat down next to Xu Yanzhi: "Xiao Kui, do you know anything about biology? It's related to star cluster cultivation."

Xu Yanzhi stopped scrolling and turned his head to the side: "You want to ask about that banyan fruit, right?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"My cousin called last night and told me to resolve this as soon as possible."

Is there any explanation for this?

"There is a bit of that."

Xu Yanzhi organized his thoughts: "Actually, it's not that profound. Simply put, many things in ancient books have been proven. Cultivators should have really existed in the era when the concept of the Twenty-Eight Mansions was formed, so many of their theories are highly credible."

For example, the naming of constellations. Taking your major, Horned Wood Dragon, as an example, each character has a corresponding cultivation characteristic. It's just that the current star cluster cultivation system is incomplete, and many of them have not yet been developed.

Currently, most of the research on the Horn constellation focuses on its armor-piercing and vigorous vitality, with little understanding of the character "蛟" (jiao).

However… my family's research institute once conducted a cell radiation experiment, which involved arranging cells from various species and exposing them to radiation in the dark matter decay band of Spica. They found that the mortality and teratogenic rates were not significantly different from other bands. But there was one very interesting phenomenon.”

"What phenomenon?"

"That is, co-evolution has occurred in groups where human cells and plant cells are cultured together."

"What is co-evolution?"

"It's about two types of cells forming new tissue in a specific arrangement, and it even seemed to have new functions. Unfortunately, the researcher in charge of the project was later infected by something in the petri dish, and the research was banned."

"What happened to that researcher afterward?"

"I have no idea."

"So you mean, I co-evolved with this banyan fruit?"

"It should be..."

Xu Yanzhi also looked curious: "My family's research in this area is relatively weak. To get a thorough understanding, we might have to collaborate with our professor. Senior, do you trust our professor?"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "I've been an upright and honest cultivator of the Horn Constellation my whole life. What's there to distrust?"

"Okay!"

Xu Yanzhi was also looking forward to it: "After the teacher finishes his video conference, we'll go find him together."

Jiang Lang asked curiously, "Wasn't he isolated? Who was he meeting with?"

Xu Yanzhi thought for a moment: "It seems to be a man, in his thirties, somewhat handsome, and looks arrogant. His family background should be quite good."
