The matter of the paper is very simple, just have Little White Spider work overnight to finish it.

The old president gave an anonymous account, which has internet protection, so even the most skilled hackers cannot track the account's location.

This account was specifically requested by Li Cunxu to avoid revealing his identity.

Li Cunxu was unwilling to take the spotlight for the invention of the Spirit Crystal.

In his past life, a doctor who developed the Spirit Crystal by listening to player suggestions became a target for the Four Gods because of too much fame.

He suffered from frenzied assassination attempts, making it impossible to even leave his house.

The only time he went out, he was attacked by overwhelming artillery, and though he dodged it, he was cursed when someone found the chance, leading to his death.

Li Cunxu didn't want to lose his freedom so early or become a thorn in the eye of the Evil God so soon.

The publication of the Spirit Crystal paper, fueled by the alliance's promotion, caused a sensation in the academic world, leading to heated online discussions.

People were inquiring about the identity of the scholar who issued the Spirit Crystal paper named 'Not Wanting to Be a Breeder.'

But... there was no answer.

This scholar seemed to appear out of nowhere,

Someone read the Spirit Crystal paper and immediately replicated the machines in the paper, producing low-grade Spirit Crystals.

They lavishly praised the Spirit Crystal, calling it a groundbreaking technological innovation.

However, the Spirit Crystal didn't receive universal acclaim and admiration; instead, it attracted a lot of criticism and defamation.

The birth of the Spirit Crystal meant an impact on the breeder industry, which relied on Spiritual Food.

After spending ten years arduously learning Spiritual Food, to be suddenly told it was wasted effort because there is a better Spirit Crystal technology that can replace Spiritual Food techniques, they ask if you are angry.

And the top practitioners in the Spiritual Food industry were even angrier because their previously exalted status was shaken with Spiritual Food being dethroned.

Breeders currently learning to make Spiritual Food were angrily denouncing it.

Breeders who had just learned Spiritual Food were angrily denouncing it.

Masters in the Spiritual Food industry were angrily denouncing it.

Only those who had just started learning to make Spiritual Food and breeders with no talent for Spiritual Food techniques were cheering.

For a moment, nearly 99% of breeders were denouncing the Spirit Crystal.

As if the Spirit Crystal was something unforgivable.

Li Cunxu paid no attention to the heated online discussions, believing that no matter the criticism, it would be useless against the overwhelming trend of Spirit Crystals replacing Spiritual Food.

The convenience, storability, and universality of Spirit Crystals far surpass Spiritual Food; widely promoting Spirit Crystals is beneficial for the overall strengthening of Beast Masters. The alliance won't stop promoting Spirit Crystals because of breeder resistance.

For example, Spiritual Food has a short shelf-life; simple freezing is ineffective. To preserve it unless you have a Space Ring with a time-freeze function, considered a treasure, there are very few in the world.

During Beast Masters' expeditions in the wild, their beasts can't become stronger by eating Spiritual Food unless they invite a breeder to accompany them.

Breeders are support professions, not like the combat profession of Beast Masters. Facing dangers in the wild, their survival probability is very low, so it's hard to convince them to accompany you, and even if you do, it requires a considerable price.

But with the Spirit Crystal, it's different; it's convenient and easy to store.

Even on wild adventures, it doesn't delay a beast's potential growth through consumption.

The emergence of Spirit Crystals also aids in the development of civilian Beast Masters.

The difficulty in making Spiritual Food makes it very expensive, and many civilian Beast Masters can't afford to buy or eat it.

Compared to the complex Spiritual Food, the Spirit Crystal is much simpler to make.

Simplicity in production also means the price of Spirit Crystals won't be high, allowing civilian Beast Masters to afford them.

Moreover, Spirit Crystals won't face production bottlenecks due to breeder resistance.

Because it is so simple, with machines, even if you're not a breeder, you can replicate Spirit Crystals by following the paper's operation.

It is no exaggeration to say that Spirit Crystals can enhance human strength as a whole.

This is precisely why the old president values it highly.

Intelligent breeders realize that the inevitable trend of Spirit Crystals replacing Spiritual Food is unstoppable, ostensibly resisting them while secretly recreating them and developing other types of Spirit Crystals.

They aim to ride the tide of Spirit Crystals and be trendsetters.

The Holy Lotus Family showed indifference in this field, as the Spirit Crystal would occupy only the mid-to-low-end market, while the high-end market was already dominated by Holy Meals.

Holy Meals are more advanced Spiritual Food, and this is not self-conscious praise by the Holy Lotus Family but a fact.

The greatest wish of top breeders is to create Spiritual Food comparable to premium Holy Meals.

Neither Spirit Crystals nor Spiritual Food can replace the transcendent nature of Holy Meals.

Days passed, and Spirit Crystals became even more popular after some time, with almost everyone online discussing them.

From university doctors to elementary school students.

And at this time, Li Cunxu still wasn't online; he was delighted for the Mechanical Pupil, having developed the first junk-series energy shield under the research of Little White Spider's iron black avatar.

Li Cunxu named this energy shield equipment 'Budget Energy Shield Type 1.'

Budget Energy Shield Type 1 is not very strong, only able to defend against attacks below Black Iron level 5, but it's super cheap; it can be made using a few kinds of common mechanical junk from Mechanical City's garbage dump.

The issue arises: How did Li Cunxu, after returning to Tongdu, get the mechanical parts from Mechanical City's garbage dump?

Of course, he packed them in advance.

The Hidden Mechanism Space of the Mechanical Pupil can store non-living items; the Mechanical Pupil used it to pack a bunch of waste materials.

"The Budget Energy Shield Type 1, when stacked in numbers, has reasonable defensive power."

Moreover, with Type 1, it is bound to develop into Type 2, Type 3, Type 4...

Li Cunxu happily said, "Let's go, we'll head to Mechanical City again, to manufacture Budget Energy Shield Type 1, while developing Budget Energy Shield Type 2."

The 'Not Wanting to Be a Breeder' anonymous academic account given by the old president received a message, disrupting Li Cunxu's plan to visit Mechanical City's garbage dump.

This academic account was set to block messages from strangers, and under those conditions, only one person could send a message bypassing this setting—the old president who gave him the account.

The message was very brief.

"The principal of Shendu University has taken a liking to you and has specially recruited you to study at Shendu University."

Li Cunxu couldn't help but laugh since the principal of Shendu University is none other than you, right?

The old president, the alliance's number one, serving as the principal of Shendu University, would place Shendu University in a very transcendent position; this transcendence would make other universities lose interest in competing for the title of 'the first university of the alliance.'

At the same time, it would also make the students of Shendu University extremely arrogant.

To avoid the above situation, the old president used an avatar to act as the principal of Shendu University.

No one knew that the Shendu Principal was an avatar of the old president.

Going to Shendu University to study?

Is there even a need to think about it?

Of course, the answer is to go.

Shendu University is the alliance's number one university.

Moreover, with the old president's avatar overseeing the school, Shendu University's atmosphere is exceptionally good—super, super, super good.

Li Cunxu contacted the old president on how to get to Shendu.

Shendu is very far from Tongdu, and without an airship, you can only travel by plane or through a teleportation array.
