Vishdair raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask why Lin Guang knew about the existence of the Divine People—perhaps she still thought that Lin Guang's common language skills were self-taught and not talent-translated—and continued, "I never thought my life would be worth so much here. Your family doesn't seem that wealthy."

"..."

At this point, the fact that purchasing Vishdair only cost 50 Credit Points was something that couldn't be spoken out loud no matter what.

The three of them and the bird took the school bus and arrived at the Integrated Research Center station.

As they approached the research center's entrance, a girl with long hair like a waterfall stood there. Upon seeing them, she waved on tiptoe, her ahoge bobbing up and down like a float, looking full of energy.

Wang Dawei instinctively blurted out, "Oh my god, Lin Guang, didn't you say—"

Then he saw Lin Guang adjusting his glasses, as if a malicious glint flashed across the lenses.

Wang Dawei immediately wore an aggrieved expression, covering his mouth with his hand as if he had been gravely insulted.

Miaomiao, puzzled, bounced over, saying, "Hi, I'm Miaomiao. I'm here to help you guys."

After saying this, she was a bit puzzled by Wang Dawei's expression but turned to Lin Guang and smiled, "You're here so early, how about trying Chef Liu's culinary skills in the cafeteria first?"

"If we can finish early, I'd still like to go home and cook today."

"Oh~, you can cook now, huh?"

Miaomiao exaggeratedly sized him up from head to toe, as if meeting him for the first time, "I can't imagine you cooking. You seem like the type who would rather eat nutritional supplements to make time for reading."

This statement was quite accurate; Lin Guang indeed rarely cooked in this lifetime, the cooking utensils left by his parents.

In his past life, Lin Guang also wasn't someone who cooked, until he discovered a dead German cockroach in a particularly delicious tomato scrambled egg takeaway he had ordered four times from a place, which gradually made him learn and enjoy cooking.

"People change." Lin Guang slightly lowered his head and adjusted his glasses, "Come over to my place sometime, and I'll cook for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bored Vishdair beside him suddenly had her two red antennae stand up like radars.

"Help, help."

The White Phoenix Parrot in her hand suddenly began to shout—in the bus, it had once again tugged on Lin Guang's hair and was caught by her.

Seeing Vishdair's reaction, an insightful look flashed across Miaomiao's face, and then she giggled, "Forget it, your partner doesn't seem to welcome me."

"What's wrong?" Lin Guang glanced at Vishdair in surprise.

"Nothing." She pouted, "Just think it's funny how people in this world have the extra effort to share food with others."

Although Vishdair didn't say it outright, Lin Guang sensed that she didn't seem to like Miaomiao very much, but since there was no enmity between the two, he could only assume it was something like the natural discord between a literate person and a scholarly wizard, a rebellious girl and a goody-goody.

Pausing, Lin Guang stopped saying anything to Miaomiao, but this behavior made Vishdair's black and red Demon tail behind her sway faster.

Wang Dawei glanced down at the White Phoenix Parrot, and they both shook their heads in unison, a hint of sync visible.

The three of them and the bird went up to the third floor to one of Dr. Kaiwen's labs, where various instruments were neatly arranged, filled with the scent of money.

"Wow! There's a place like this in the school!"

Wang Dawei exclaimed, "This equipment isn't cheap!"

The big bird also loudly cheered, "Awesome! Awesome!"

Lin Guang was a bit curious, "How do you know?"

"Because I've seen similar things before, but definitely not as advanced as this."

Wang Dawei had no shame and said boldly, "After I contracted the big bird, my family let me spend the whole day in a research room like this with it, and in the end, I produced a lot of pages of reports, evaluations, and training direction suggestions, and it cost a lot of money."

Lin Guang nodded and asked, "By the way, not applying to Dr. Kaiwen, is it really okay?"

"No problem, no problem."

Miaomiao waved her hand, "In short, Dr. Kaiwen gave me the usage rights to most of the equipment here, just be careful."

Pausing, she continued, "I remember Uncle Lin and Aunt Ning both specialize in Water Element Spirit Beasts, right."

Blinking his eyes slightly wider, Lin Guang nodded, "Your memory is really good."

Seeing his usual expression, Miaomiao exhaled lightly and explained, "So, what I mean is... even if they privately like Parrot Spirit Beasts and conduct research in their spare time, the results are hard to guarantee. Emotionally, I certainly hope their theories will succeed; but rationally, I think the chances are 'a little' slim, especially since they didn't leave any experimental data, just a concept. You... better not have too high expectations."

"I am aware of this." Lin Guang said with a smile, "So, I will only try this once. If it doesn't work, I won't pay attention to this direction for the time being."

"As long as you know."

Saying this, Miaomiao started fiddling with the machine nearby.

The four worked together, with Vishdair watching intently on the side while Wang Dawei held the big bird to calm its emotions, allowing Lin Guang and Miaomiao to start measuring the White Phoenix Parrot's various data. Needless to say, height, weight, and health conditions were taken into account, but most importantly, they recorded its internal Ether cycle, all under the shooting of a camera in a single take.

If Lin Guang's methods proved effective, this would mark the beginning of a series of papers.

During this time, a Messenger Ambrosia knocked on the lab window and delivered something Lin Guang had ordered earlier.

Soon, the data collection was complete, and it was time to administer the Spiritual Materials to the White Phoenix Parrot.

Miaomiao retrieved a glass bottle from the lab's safe, which contained a murky liquid with a hint of scarlet in the deep purple.

[An ambiguous mixture: Composed of three Reverse Scales from a Transforming Dragon (Tier Two), two fresh Dream Death Mushrooms (Tier Two), 100 grams of Scale Powder from a Whispering Butterfly (Tier One), and a drop of Essence Blood from a White Phoenix Giant Parrot (Tier Two), all mixed together.]

This was what Lin Guang brought to the lab yesterday. At the time, he wasn't sure if he'd have enough Star Shards today to unlock the "Hand of Full Mastery," and most of these Low Tier Spiritual Materials could be extracted and mixed using the lab's equipment, so Miaomiao lent him a small favor.

Lin Guang took the bottle and walked towards the White Phoenix Parrot, feeling a bit listless from the data acquisition.
