"Cough, cough!"
Hank coughed slightly in embarrassment. "Alright, I was just trying to lighten the mood earlier. Now, it's time to formally assign the research tasks."
He glanced at Jean.
"Jean, I don't want you to enter my mind anymore."
"Okay, Hank, don't worry. I won't go into your mind anymore~" Jean immediately stuck out her tongue, looking cute and promising not to do it again.
Yu Feng couldn't help but smile at her antics.
However, based on Jean's words just now, it seemed that for this first research assignment, Hank wanted them to choose different fields of study?
This made Yu Feng start thinking.
He wasn't considering which specific scientific field he wanted to study, but rather, he wanted to study everything!
At least he couldn't just focus on one area; otherwise, it would be a waste of his talent...
If Hank knew what Yu Feng was thinking at the moment, he would probably be speechless. For now, he was relieved that Jean wouldn't leak any information to him in advance. Hank hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Jean was right. I do want you to choose the field of study you're interested in. After all, you're still young, and being my research assistants is secondary. The main focus is for you to engage in extensive learning. Otherwise... well, I'm not comfortable letting you carry out various research projects and especially not the ones I've designed, you understand?"
Yu Feng and Jean nodded in agreement.
Of course, they understood this logic.
If Hank had immediately let them conduct various research projects at the beginning, especially with the weapons he had designed, it would have been strange.
"Good, since you understand, let me first tell you about what I'm currently researching and designing. Based on what I research, both of you can determine your own areas of interest."
Hank said as he suddenly produced a remote control-like device.
He pressed a button.
Yu Feng and Hank both looked at Jean in surprise.
Hank was bewildered.
Yu Feng had a wry smile on his face.
Uh... Jean... it seems she's really been influenced too much by League of Legends...
"Uh, cough, well, Hank, Jean has heard too many stories about League of Legends, and 'Demacia' can be understood as 'Long live mutants' or 'proud of our mutations,'" Yu Feng explained, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seeing Hank's confusion and not knowing what Jean was talking about, Yu Feng quickly explained.
"Oh, I see. Long live mutants, proud of our mutations... But what does 'the tower stands, so do we' mean?" Hank asked.
Yu Feng was about to give a concise answer when he saw Jean, who looked excited, eagerly jumping in to answer:
"Hank, 'the tower stands, so do we' means fiercely defending our home. To explain it further, we have to start with Summoner's Rift. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a canyon filled with mysterious runic magic power. A group of mutant heroes, fighting for their glory, engaged in a 5v5 battle in that Summoner's Rift, dividing into blue and purple sides..."
As soon as Summoner's Rift was mentioned, Jean seemed to transform into a different person, full of enthusiasm.
Hank was rarely seen Jean so lively and was somewhat surprised, looking at Yu Feng with a glance that seemed to say, "Kid, you have some skills!"
Yu Feng couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Meanwhile, as Hank listened to the story about Summoner's Rift, he seemed to be increasingly interested. They delved into a heated discussion about Summoner's Rift and the intense 5v5 battles between the blue and red sides...
Suddenly, the style of the scene took a strange turn.
Yu Feng stared dumbfounded at this sight, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Indeed, Summoner's Rift is toxic, and it's contagious too!
If he had known, he wouldn't have told Jean stories about Summoner's Rift!
(Author's Note: Some readers have said that with the Glint Glint fruit's speed, the protagonist would be invincible, and they think the protagonist's light-speed ability is too weak when he fought. I don't feel like replying to those comments anymore, so here I emphasize it again. The protagonist's use of the Glint Gling fruit's speed is based on the early power of light, similar to the power demonstrated by Admiral Kizaru in One Piece. Otherwise, if we follow what some people say, if having light-speed means infinite power when charging, wouldn't the protagonists who traveled to the world of One Piece be in trouble? Kizaru's kick would turn them into dust, right? We have to remember that novels and comics play with the violation of physics laws. When reading novels or comics, we're not reading physics books. Taking it too seriously will lead to loss. Moreover, the style of this book should be apparent by now, and I believe you've all noticed that it's not the kind where the protagonist shows off. If you want that, I suggest finding another book to read. That's all~)
