"Big star—"
She saw Lin Guang from afar too and energetically waved her hand: "Here, here~"
Lin Guang took a few quick steps forward and ca to her side, giving her a once-over and teasingly remarked:
"You're dressed quite formally today, I never see you dress like this in the lab."
Today's Miaomiao looked exceptionally professional, lacking the youthful vibrancy she usually displayed in her attire. She wore a lab coat commonly worn in the research lab, with a simple black fishtail dress underneath, white stockings, and black flat leather shoes covering her feet. Her face had a light and elegant makeup, but her already high-level appearance could carry it all alone.
She didn't wear any jewelry, just holding a parasol.
If she didn't smile, Miaomiao at this mont even exuded so of Dr. Kaiwen's deanor and aura, giving an inexplicable sense of authority and scholarly air.
But upon hearing Lin Guang's words and seeing his approach, the unapproachable aura around Miaomiao suddenly dissipated.
The girl slightly raised her parasol, ensuring Lin Guang who was tightly shaded could also enjoy so shadow, while teasing: "You dressed like this have the nerve to talk about ? Besides, you make it sound like I'm never professional normally!"
Her gaze turned towards the large gate in front.
"And anyway, this is the submission office for a state-level Plant journal, of course, it needs to be a bit serious."
This was the entrance to the office of the "Plants" journal.
And Lin Guang ca out today just for this—to submit a paper.
As Lin Guang had expected, after sending the Swaying Lily back to Miaomiao, it completed its evolution in just a week.
Miaomiao excitedly called Lin Guang to ask about the situation after the competition, and then received the materials and data Lin Guang had long prepared and packaged for her—luckily, Lin Guang kept it at ho, administered special nutrient solutions, and recorded data daily during care. Otherwise, with such a large gap, the paper wouldn't know how to be written.
With tangible support, and the ability to use Dr. Kaiwen's equipnt for testing, the journal paper tentatively titled "Discovery of a New Evolutionary Path of the Native Plant Spirit Beast, Swaying Lily" naturally ca to life in the hands of the two.
After completion, it was ti to consider the issue of submission.
The paper on the White Phoenix Parrot's evolution to the White Illusion Phoenix was managed by Hu Tuzhi over there with Lin Guang only needing to have his na on it. However, for the Glowing Lily affair, there was no such shortcut; Lin Guang had to think of a way himself.
After ssaging Dr. Kaiwen, Lin Guang set his sights on a journal called "Plants".
Not only does it have an office in Zhen Sheng City, but it's also one of the few journals that accept manuscripts from non-researchers, though the person must submit it in person offline.
Lin Guang looked up at this gracefully lined, simply colored standalone building and nodded slightly: "As expected from a top-tier journal, the facade has a good vibe."
Miaomiao nodded: "After all, it's one of the authorities on native plant spirit beasts in Great Xia, and it's said that reviewers are at least interdiate researchers in the plant field, sotis even senior researchers are involved."
She glanced around Lin Guang, who was alone, and suddenly felt curious: "By the way, where are Vishdair and little Lisa? Are they at ho?"
Lin Guang shook his head and tapped his head: "They're in the space."
"I wanted them to rest at ho, but they weren't too willing to let go out alone. It's too conspicuous outside and a bit troubleso, so they are staying in the Spirit Beast Space for a while."
"I see."
Miaomiao waved to Lin Guang with a cheerful smile: "Hello to you all."
——The space constructed by the Equal Contract allows perception of outside information.
The two walked into the lobby and said to the receptionist: "Hello, we have an appointnt for paper submission today."
The receptionist looked a bit surprised at the two, not only because Lin Guang's face was concealed with glasses and a mask but also because compared to other people submitting papers, their voices were so youthful.
Generally, academic researchers rarely choose to use the Face Stabilizing Pill so early in their life to fix their body condition, as that would seem rather immature.
However, she didn't comnt on it and asked, "We have a new rule which hasn't been updated on the website yet. Are you two aware of it?"
This made Lin Guang pause, and after exchanging a glance with Miaomiao, they shook their heads.
"Simply put, recently, too many people have been trying to muddle through, causing us a lot of pressure during paper review. Moreover, there's been so falsification in papers that other researchers couldn't reproduce, damaging the journal's reputation. So a new rule requires passing a 'defense' to get through."
This took Lin Guang by surprise, and he thought for a mont before asking: "Does it take long? We might have other appointnts later."
The receptionist glanced at the schedule and replied: "We have many reviewers, so it shouldn't waste too much of your ti."
Lin Guang tilted his head to look at Miaomiao. Although she didn't reply, her expressive eyes clearly said, "We're already here," a phrase that people from Great Xia found hard to resist.
"If you decide to submit, hand over the paper to , and I need to print a copy. The reviewer will take a brief look and determine the paper's value before proceeding with the defense."
Lin Guang removed his mask and sunglasses: "Then I'll trouble you."
The receptionist looked at his face, montarily stunned, and subconsciously let out a small "ah" before glancing around and sheepishly said, blushing, "Could you give a signature later? I'm a fan of yours."
Lin Guang couldn't help but hold his forehead, while Miaomiao covered her mouth, smiling.
After so interaction, the receptionist finally took the paper from him.
Before long, a young man approached the two of them. He wore a lab coat issued by the Researcher Association, with a white handkerchief in the front pocket, indicating he was a Junior Researcher, with a na tag below that read "Wu Yu".
If he hadn't taken the Face Stabilizing Pill, his achievents at his age were quite remarkable.
"You are number 18? Miaomiao and... Lin Guang, right?"
He plainly paused when ntioning Lin Guang.
Miaomiao and Lin Guang stood up simultaneously, and Lin Guang nodded: "That's us."
Wu Yu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he said nothing, just instructing: "Co with ."
He led the way, taking a deep breath, seeming sowhat emotionally unsettled.
Miaomiao and Lin Guang exchanged a glance and then followed the young man into an office, sitting opposite each other at a table.
"I've reviewed your paper."
Wu Yu said seriously, "The format is neat, clear, easy to understand, with nothing ambiguous and no blatant errors, but this doesn't rule out the possibility of falsification, so let's get straight to the point."
"The key point is, you indicated you've developed an evolved form of Swaying Lily, naly the 'Glowing Lily', do you have a specin?"
"Of course," replied Lin Guang.
Miaomiao nodded too: "We didn't know papers were reviewed offline at first, so we didn't bring it. If necessary, we can bring it another day."
"..."
Wu Yu looked at the young man and woman before him, showing a thoughtful expression.
He recognized that face, as well as the na on the docunt.
Lin Guang's notoriety in Zhen Sheng City had been rising fiercely recently.
Wu Yu had no doubt that if Lin Guang wanted, don't even ntion himself, even the spirit beasts of those scholarly veterans in the office wouldn't be enough for him alone.
But the problem is, research ability and combat skills have no necessary connection.
Lin Guang's talent in the path of the Combat Spirit Master is naturally not sothing he, who felt his potential consud upon advancing to Two-Star status with a white-tier Spirit Master aptitude, could question. But different fields make for insurmountable barriers; soone so young likely expends all his energy in combat, so how could he have much academic achievent?
