I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 14 Farusan: I've struck gold!

"You... you really haven't come across any documents from the Red King's era before?"

Farusan closed the "Red Sandstone Tablet: Secret Words of the Phases" in her hand, looked at Chen Bo with a suspicious gaze, and leaned forward slightly, trying to find a trace of guilt on Chen Bo's face.

"No," Chen Bo answered crisply, his expression innocent and sincere. "The senior's explanation was very logical, and with the combination of mnemonic techniques and word root deduction, it wasn't difficult to understand."

"Perhaps it was because the senior explained it so well, making it easy to understand, that I was able to learn it in just one go."

Chen Bo skillfully offered a compliment.

Farusan couldn't help but smile.

She coughed lightly, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly, "Hmph, of course. Back when I was teaching elective courses at the Academy of Teaching, students were scrambling to sign up. These days, all the teachers can do is read from the textbook. What kind of teaching is that?"

She sat back down in her chair.

His eyes were full of admiration for Chen Bo.

In recent years, she has not accepted students. On the one hand, she is not used to the current learning content, and the students of the epistemology school are not interested in her ancient mechanisms.

On the other hand, it's also because he didn't have any students he was satisfied with and wanted to take on.

Cole is one of them; he's a very nice person and studies very hard, but Cole needs to stay in the rainforest to recuperate.

The boy in front of me, Anil, not only has a positive attitude towards learning, but also has great talent in learning.

I consider myself quite talented in classical Chinese; a hundred years ago, I was a well-known scholar of the Epistemological School.

However, he learns classical Chinese faster than I do.

What a satisfactory disciple!

"Since you have such a talent for languages, let's speed things up a bit."

Farusian became interested; good students always bring more joy to their teachers: "I originally planned to finish the basic grammar in a week, but it seems we can conclude the course today. Don't blame me for not warning you, the following content is something even Priest Hermanubis would find challenging."

"Then I'll leave it to Senior Farusan." Chen Bo sat up straight, ready to listen attentively.

For the next three hours, only Farusan's clear voice and Chen Bo's occasional questions could be heard in the corner of the Wisdom Palace reading room.

This time, Farusan mainly explained grammar issues.

As for literacy, let Chen Bo learn it on his own.

After each section of her presentation, Farusan would ask a few questions.

Chen Bo also applied his knowledge to other situations and gave a very precise answer.

Farusan became more and more excited as she talked, even forgetting to drink water, and she was increasingly satisfied with Chen Bo.

"alright."

"I've already covered the basic grammar. The rest is about building your vocabulary. That shouldn't be difficult for you; you can learn it on your own."

"Thank you, Senior Farusan." Chen Bo handed over a glass of warm water at the right moment. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Farusan."

Farusan took the water glass, took a sip, and was in a great mood.

This child is not only intelligent, but also very perceptive.

"Alright, you can study on your own for a while now. I'll find a book to read too." Farusan stretched.

Chen Bo then took the opportunity to take out his own paper and hand it over.

"Senior, I actually have some thoughts on mechanical arts. This is a paper I recently wrote; could you please take a look?"

"paper?"

Farusian became interested.

A second-year student writing a paper?

In the Academy of Education, the second year is still the stage of learning knowledge, and being able to write a clear lab report is considered excellent.

Writing papers was something I only started trying after I started working with my supervisor.

Furthermore, one must work as an assistant to a supervisor for more than a year to accumulate experimental experience before attempting to write a paper.

"Aiming too high is not a good habit," Farusan said, her tone becoming slightly more serious. "Academic research requires time and reflection; it's not something that can be published as a paper just by piecing things together..."

As she spoke, she took Chen Bo's thesis.

Title: "Secondary Burst and Output Optimization of Grass Element Crystallization Energy Based on Fire Element Ignition Medium"

Fiona nodded.

This approach... is quite tricky.

Let's see what the content is like.

The more she looked, the more deeply Farusan frowned.

It's not because it's poorly written, but because... it's so well written.

Igniting the grass element at the end of the grass element loop can indeed reduce the risk of explosion and significantly reduce the requirements for materials.

The ignited grass element can drive gears or be ejected through nozzles, directly converting into thrust.

The motivation for guarding historical sites also has a similar structure.

However, Chen Bo's paper is not just an idea, but also includes specific design drawings.

It can be directly put into practical mass production.

Is this really something a second-year student could write?

Fiona looked at Chen Bo: "Did you really write this?"

Chen Bo: "Genuine, no doubt about it."

Farusan looked at Chen Bo suspiciously, her left hand resting on the virtual terminal by her ear.

A barely perceptible green light swept across the paper, indicating a plagiarism check in the database.

Although she admires Chen Bo, academic fraud is a bottom line. If this paper plagiarizes the research results of other scholars, she will absolutely not accept this student.

"drop--"

The virtual terminal reported: No matching record.

It really is original content.

Farusan's eyes were now filled with admiration as she looked at Chen Bo.

I found the treasure.

This time I've really found a treasure.

"The idea is bold, and the structure is mostly fine." Farusan put down the paper, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. "However, there are still some issues with the formatting, and the labeling of the data charts is not standardized."

"These kinds of papers will be rejected during the initial review stage."

"How about this, I'll help you revise it, and then we can submit it to the journal 'Mystic Mechanics' under your name."

Chen Bo was overjoyed and immediately said, "Thank you, Senior Falushan."

Farusan hummed happily, "It's nothing, I don't have anything to do right now anyway."

Then, Fiona stopped Chen Bo again: "By the way, the Miaolun School has a mechanical competition starting soon."

"It is said that the prize money is a full 100 million mora, and the tutor of the winning student will also have priority in receiving research funding in the future."

"I don't know if you're interested. If you are, I can help you register. I'll fill in my own name as the tutor." (Here, Mora's spending power is about 1:1 with our everyday currency. The Mora ratio in the game is strange; food is very expensive, while ironware is very cheap. Food in the game is actually used as medicine, with special buff effects, hence the distorted price ratio.)

Even if I give half of my 1 million Mora to Teacher Farusan, I'll still have 500,000 Mora.

This is no small sum of money, and Chen Bo has no reason to refuse such a competition.

She immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble Senior Farusan to help me register."

Farusan nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, very good, what a good child."

Suddenly, Chen Bo's system panel popped up.

A flashing red dot appeared on the task interface, indicating unread messages.

Chen Bo immediately clicked with his consciousness.

[Detected that mentor Farusan's favorability rating has reached 31 points.]

[Application: Do you wish to link "Falushan" as your mentor?]

Once the binding is confirmed, Task 2 will be completed and settled immediately.
