Chapter 833 - Studying

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the biology laboratory, Fang Ning, together with a laboratory director, accompanied by a large group of fellow researchers, were given a brief tour of the place; after which, he made his request to study the “Modern Biology System”.

The laboratory director’s eyes lit up the minute he heard those words, “Venerable One, I may not be the most talented, but I would be most willing to volunteer myself for the position, I was previously hired as a tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has supervised over 11 Ph.D. students…”

He had yet to complete his sentence, when the deputy director next to him had caught on as well, “Venerable One, I may lack talent, but I too, am willing to offer my services to you, I have previously been employed as a tenured professor by Cambridge University…”

All the other researchers’ eyes were beaming, much eager to try and have a go.

If they could become the teacher of the Venerable Dragon God, there would be no doubt of the boons they would receive.

It would even be several times better than becoming an emperor’s tutor.

As elites of the best of the best, they were definitely not bound by conservative thoughts and ancient traditions; they understood very well that the arrival of the Era of Mystery meant that the world would be dictated by power.

If they were able to become the teacher of the Earth’s strongest powerhouse, holding the title of a master on their shoulders, who knew what they would be able to achieve in the future?

They might even have a chance of seizing longevity.

If it were not for the fact they were afraid of upsetting said powerhouse with their noise and ruckus, together with and a sense of self-realization of the gap between them and the two directors, all the others would have charged up to him earlier.”

Seeing this, Fang Ning became incredibly pleased with himself.

“See, ol’ System, this is the legendary treatment that a protagonist gets to have!” He proudly said, “The masters fighting over the apprentice.”

“Indeed it is, once you become their apprentice, and you being so softhearted, if anything were to happen to them, you’d definitely send me out over a thousand miles just to help them. I’m the one who has to do the bulk of the work while you reap the benefits.” Sir System said resentfully.

“You’re exactly as stingy as lovely said you were, this is a win-win situation, alright? To put it bluntly, whether or not we’ll be able to finish the road before the God of Plagues does, these people account for a third of our success rate.” Fang Ning said, somewhat disdainfully.

“As long as you don’t loaf around on the job, I’ll be quite content.”

“Rest assured, I know what I’m doing.” Fang Ning affirmed him.

Without being able to take down the Gods, he would not feel at ease either. What if they were to be calculated and fell into the other’s schemes, would that not be extremely frustrating?

Then Fang Ning reached out and gestured to everyone to be quiet, and then slowly said: “It is rare that the teachers are so active. This is not a defense. This seat can be used for 24 hours. Everyone will make a unified class according to their own schedule and their specialties. Plan, take turns to take classes for this seat.”

Thus, Fang Ning raised his hand to silence the crowd, and then slowly spoke, “It is a rare privilege to find so many proactive professors here, but this won’t an issue, I’m willing to take a 24-hour class; everyone may arrange their sessions according to their flexibility and specialties, and together, come up with a unified lesson plan to provide lessons for me.”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but felt slightly disappointed, as this implied a devaluation of their titles.

The concept of doctoral students, postgraduate supervisors, and student teachers was not the same.

Despite so, they changed their minds when they looked at it from a different perspective, there were pros in this method as well, at least with this, everyone would get an equal share of merit. In the past, surely, most of them would not have been able to make the cut.

Thus, everyone nodded with bright expressions on their faces.

The laboratory director immediately followed on, “The Venerable One is most correct, Modern Biology has many classifications, including cells, prokaryotes and viruses, protists, fungi, plants and animals, genetics, the origin and evolution of lifeform and so much more. It would certainly be difficult for one to cover all of them, I will discuss this immediately with everyone and come up with a lesson plan as soon as possible so that the Venerable One may be able to fully master this subject and reach the level of practical application in the shortest time possible.

“That would be very good, I shall leave it to you then, Director Zhang, just let Xue Ba know if you need anything.” Fang Ning instructed.

……

Two days later, Fang Ning re-entered the classroom.

After finishing only one lecture, however, he realized that this would not do at all.

“It’s too easy. The moment I hear these lecturers’ lessons, I can understand everything at once, the learning efficiency is too low.” Fang Ning immediately shook his head.

After class, he went up to Director Zhang from the first lecture and said, “It seems that the method of conduct for the lessons are still a little too slow, I think it would be better if the Director could come up with a study plan for me, along with the relevant texts; it would be even better if you could also include those years worth of lecture notes of yours, so that I can absorb the information even faster.”

Director Zhang was startled by his words, earlier during class, he had already factored in the fact that Cultivators had high learning abilities and had deliberately prepared his lecture content to be a five-times concentrated version of a regular lecture, yet it still was not enough to meet the other’s expectations?

He had a feeling in his heart, that in the future, not only would the battlefields be dominated by Cultivators, but even in the scientific world, few would be able to compete with the capability of a Cultivator.

A Cultivator’s learning ability and lifespan was far superior to that of a normal human’s, thus, it was likely that the regular people would end up only being able to do the things that the Cultivators would not.

A Cultivator’s capabilities were already of such a degree, what of then, of the learning ability of Gods of the Upper Realm?

A sense of fear slid through him, that the future may not have a place for him at all.

Looks like it was time for him to put his hope on his child instead.

However, why was it that he still felt like he could not accept it all?

Director Zhang forcibly pushed those emotions away, smiled and said, “If the Venerable One wishes to study by himself, then very well, I shall discuss this with the others and contact our some of our previous students to gather their thoughts and knowledge gains over the past years, and hand it over to you after sorting them out.”

“Very well then, I’ll leave it to you, Professor Zhang.” Fang Ning said, his tone sincere.

Seeing Fang Ning’s response, Director Zhang felt some ease in his heart, in any case, for him to be able to latch onto this powerhouse, he would always be ahead of his fellow peers.

That said, it may be time for him to consider changing jobs.

Fang Ning gave him a few more words and gave the other a way of contacting him before he left the Scientific Academy for Vitality; leaving his body to Sir System as he waited for the other party to deliver him the subjects for self-study.

“Don’t just get all into it by yourself, can the sh*tty book even understand everything? We’re depending on the book to take over the God of Plagues’ position, not you.” Sir System said with contempt.

“Nonsense, of course he can, once I learn something, my lovely learns something as well. Even though he was created by you, green is born of blue, but is better than blue 1 , that is the advantage of evolution.” Fang Ning gloated.

“Humph, since you like him so much, why didn’t you agree last time when I broke down and told you to create a new sub-system?”

“Oh, this and that are not the same thing, I’m not someone who would abandon the old for the new.” Fang Ning said earnestly.

“…Now that’s something I like to hear.” Sir System said approvingly.

As they were talking, an email notification prompt popped up on the computer.

Fang Ning opened the mailbox, after taking a look, it turned out to be a reading list sent by Director Zhang.

The other party was incredibly proactive and efficient, it had not even been an hour since he left the academy.

Fang Ning briefly scanned through the list, which had a total of over hundreds of books, all respectively appended with links that led him directly to a professional online library where he could read them, how very convenient.

There were even some explanations noted further down.

“Venerable One, please read through these basics books first, after that I will design a specialized study plan according to your knowledge to ensure that you will be able to master the entire Modern Biology System and understand its current research directions as soon as possible.”

“This person’s not bad.” Fang Ning said, gruntled.

“Humph, it’s only because he thinks you have value, if you were someone useless, he definitely wouldn’t have bothered at all.” Sir System said disdainfully.

Fang Ning was at a lost for words, “This is perfectly normal, alright? If you’re useless you have to improve yourself, you can’t still expect others to think highly of you.”

“Huh, how optimistic of you, then why didn’t you come to this realization back when you were wasting away?” Sir System purposely dug up Fang Ning’s unsavory past.

“Oi…Get outta here, stop picking on me, there was a reason for why I was such a deadbeat back then.” Fang Ning said as he fell into deep thought, with a vacant look on his face.

“Uh, you’re not looking very well there, do you want me to take a look at you?” Sir System offered kindly.

“Thanks, but no thanks.” Fang Ning pulled himself back from his thoughts, and started digging seriously into his first book, Introduction to Modern Biology.
