Chapter 879: Chapter 869 Research

"What’s it called here?" Odeli watched the sea otter and even stretched out a hand to touch it, finding it quite soft.

"Spiritual Beast, they’re quite rare now, but as the spiritual power in this area revives, there will be more and more diverse species." Xia Yue said.

"It doesn’t look dangerous. It could be kept as a pet." Odeli remarked.

"It has not been cultivating for long, so of course it’s not dangerous. Besides, it’s domesticated, not wild, so it’s not that fierce," Xia Yue explained.

"Oh." Odeli nodded in understanding.

After showing them around Pet Paradise, Xia Yue left, ready to return to the mansion to rest.

"The development here is completely different from that of the Oakes Continent." Through the observations since the afternoon, it was clear that this world relied more on technological advancement rather than individual strength.

"Of course it’s different. We’re in a stage of revival, and afterward, it should be a dual development of technology and techniques.

Because, whether it’s your place or ours, the majority are common people. If common people can’t cultivate, then we must develop technology to strengthen ourselves through external means," Xia Yue said.

"Don’t the superiors restrict them? After all, this could also threaten their ruling status." Odeli, of noble birth, was all too aware of these matters.

"Our country probably won’t, but I can’t say for other countries. Different national conditions mean different developments, but the general trend should be consistent," Xia Yue mentioned, noting that although she might not have understood these things in the past, she had learned a bit after more than a year’s experience.

Odeli didn’t continue the conversation, having only made a casual remark without any desire to delve deeper.

After sending them back to their courtyards, Xia Yue also returned to her own.

"Whew, refreshing." As soon as she entered the courtyard, she lay down on a lounger and took a large sip of iced watermelon juice from her System Space, sighing contentedly.

[You act as if you’ve done something really exhausting.] The System suddenly appeared beside her, looking at her speechlessly.

"I’ve been accompanying them all afternoon and half the evening, walking and talking the whole time," Xia Yue said irritably.

[...Just walking around, not fighting like them. What’s there to be tired about? Lazy is just lazy.] The System shook its head at her indignant demeanor.

"Now I understand what it means to have a hundred thousand whys," Xia Yue muttered, deflecting the topic away from their earlier discussion.

[That’s called having a thirst for knowledge, a spirit of research.] The System actually liked that spirit very much. If its own host had even one-fifth of that thirst for knowledge and research spirit, it would be overjoyed.

"Is he especially intelligent? A type of genius?" Xia Yue asked the System seriously.

[Yes, with his photographic memory and excellent comprehension skills.] The System nodded in confirmation.

"No wonder he could destroy an entire world by himself." Xia Yue nodded in agreement.

[Just a reminder, you have three days left to send out invitation letters to those sixty students.

In five days, they’ll have to come. Have you found a teacher yet?] The System reminded her.

"Tomorrow I’ll take Odeli to meet those professors. If even one of them keeps him, he’ll have to agree to be a teacher, so there’s no rush," Xia Yue said.

[Odeli is highly gifted, very exceptional, but not necessarily cut out to be a teacher.

After all, not many can keep up with his pace. Asking him to teach those kids might be a bit too difficult for both.] The System felt she was complicating things not just for Odeli but also for the children, who, although talented, were not on Odeli’s level.

"That’s his problem then, he did promise to agree to the conditions I put forward," Xia Yue said with a smile.

[I wish you good luck.] The System, watching her like this, also wanted to know if Odeli could really do it.

Early the next morning, Xia Yue got up, went for breakfast with Odeli and Ron, and then let Ron go play on his own, instructing him to seek help from the staff of the Resort Area or a smart robot if needed.

"What about you guys?" Ron looked at Xia Yue and Odeli, feeling a bit sad that they weren’t taking him with them.

"I’m taking him to meet the professors who can answer his questions. Do you want to come with us and attend the class?" Xia Yue asked.

"Enjoy your studies, I’m off." As soon as Ron heard this, he quickly said his farewells and left. He didn’t want to listen to that stuff, which had no appeal to him at all.

"Let’s go," Odeli said to Xia Yue, watching Ron walk away. He couldn’t wait to find out those answers.

Xia Yue took him to the research area, which was constructed together with the dormitories for convenience in studying the manufacturing principles of the Resort Area’s equipment.

There were quite a few research professors there, and having them teach Odeli would surely be effective.

With her pass, Xia Yue smoothly led Odeli inside.

She gathered all the professors of the Research Institute and introduced Odeli to them.

As she was the person providing research subjects, the professors gave her face even if they weren’t very optimistic about Odeli, they still listened patiently.

Odeli had written down everything he wanted to know the night before, and now took out his notebook and started asking questions one by one.

Initially, the professors had a perfunctory attitude, wanting to answer quickly and return to their research, but as Odeli questioned them, they became serious and even engaged in interactive discussions.

In the end, Xia Yue could only yawn and watch them discuss, sitting aside and trying not to fall asleep, pinching herself to stay awake because she truly was on the verge of dozing off.

As the discussion went on, they directly pulled Odeli into the laboratory for hands-on experimentation.

Since Xia Yue had brought Odeli in, they didn’t harbor any suspicions.

Xia Yue, seeing that they were all heading off and not wanting to follow them to watch their research, told Odeli she would come back for him later.

Odeli nodded hastily and followed them away.

"They say that those who do research are madmen, and it seems to be true," Xia Yue said, shaking her head as she looked at the empty Conference Room, then left the research area to return to the Resort Area.

As soon as she came back, Zheng Tang found her.

"Is Odeli really okay?" Zheng Tang, having received a message saying Xia Yue had taken Odeli to the research area, rushed over immediately.

"It’s fine, he’s a talent. Who knows, he might even bring us a surprise," Xia Yue said.

"That’s reassuring coming from you," Zheng Tang replied. He had contacted Yan Mo to inquire, and Yan Mo had told him to listen to Xia Yue.

"Right, are the rooms ready yet? Those students will be arriving in a few days," Xia Yue mentioned.

"Everything’s prepared, and the invitations are ready as well," Zheng Tang nodded.

"Good, I’ll go find Ziluo," Xia Yue nodded and then headed to the Four Seasons Hotel.
