Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 282 New Friends

As expected, the plane where the guy in the pointed hat lives is within the Major League, so he knew about the existence of the multiverse since he was born.

His parents took him to travel to other dimensions when he was a child, and he himself liked traveling very much, but this time he came here not for traveling, but to complete his thesis.

Up to this point, Malu didn’t think there was anything wrong and just thought he was a poor scientific researcher.

According to Pointy Hat, he studied at a top 5 university in the Major League, and worked with a great mentor to get a doctorate degree in something like Earth.

Relying on working as a slave in his supervisor's black factory without complaint, he successfully reached graduation. Just as he was about to get his diploma, his supervisor suddenly raised the graduation standards, requiring him to publish at least three papers in top journals in the major leagues, and to be the first author.

The man with the pointed hat was dumbfounded. He only had one paper that could reach this level, and he had less than half a year left before graduation.

At this time, how could he produce two more SCI papers? His supervisor almost told him to stay and continue working.

But Pointed Hat refused to admit evil and gritted his teeth to sprint towards this impossible goal. He even went alone to a desolate plane outside the big league to conduct experiments.

When Malu found out that this guy was majoring in agronomy, he began to realize that things were not that simple.

And when he found out that the title of the paper that Pointy Hat was preparing to finish was "Study on the Promoting Effect and Mechanism of PPCW Growth Solution on Plant Activation", a certain premonition in his heart became stronger.

The millipede even forgot about looking for the singing physalis and began to search for the pointed hat's marking point nearby.

After arriving at this plane, this guy should have been active in the surrounding area, conducting his experiments and collecting and analyzing data.

According to Pointed Hat, as long as this paper can be completed successfully, it will definitely be published in a top journal.

However, even if he could finish writing the thesis within the time limit, he would still be one short of meeting the graduation standard. Of course, in theory, one project can have many papers, especially a major project like the one in the hands of a top scholar.

But the problem still remains. There is not enough time. I am already running low on time to write one article, and two is simply impossible.

And just at this time, the man in the pointed hat met a man.

Pointed Hat said in the message that the person was a local aboriginal who was concentrating on doing experiments and writing a paper in the Red Rock Canyon. Some arrangements had been made around him to prevent him from being disturbed.

However, that day a powerful animated plant accidentally broke one of his fences and ran away. Although the man in the pointed hat quickly chased it back, the native happened to enter his experimental field after the device was destroyed.

Pointy Hat was startled. According to the Multiverse Travel Manual, his visit should not be known to the locals.

Fortunately, the man in the pointed hat came up with a solution. He planned to feed the visitor some hallucinogenic plants and then throw the person out.

In this way, when the latter wakes up, he will think that everything he saw before was just an illusion.

In order to let the visitor relax his vigilance, the man in the pointed hat pretended to chat with the other party for a few words. It would have been fine if he hadn't chatted, but after chatting, the man in the pointed hat was surprised to find that the other person was quite nice.

He didn't know if it was because he had been alone for too long, but he was soon won over by that person's personal charm.

Although the two had different backgrounds and came from different planes, they became good friends in just one afternoon. This made it difficult for Pointy Hat to attack his friend again.

Not only that, not long afterward he told the other person his true identity and took the man to visit his laboratory.

That man was also a researcher like him, but his research subject was not botany, but sociology.

But even so, as both are scientific researchers, the two still have a lot in common.

At this time, Pointy Hat had thrown all the rules in the "Multiverse Travel Handbook" out of his mind and complained to his new friend.

The man expressed sympathy for his situation and then said he was willing to provide him with all the help he could.

The pointed hat thanked the other party for his kindness, but did not have any expectations of the help that the man mentioned.

Although he never showed it, as a player from the major leagues, he always had a hidden sense of superiority towards the natives outside the major leagues.

In Pointy Hat's own words, "This place is boring and primitive, and I just want to finish my paper and go back to school."

However, when the visitor gave him a preliminary description of his idea, Pointed Hat was quickly interested. This was an interdisciplinary collaborative research.

The visitor wanted to use the revitalized plants he brought to conduct a sociological experiment to see how the existing social structure would disintegrate and reconstruct after being hit by a disaster, and what changes would occur after the revitalized plants occupied the main ecological niche of a planet.

From a research perspective, Pointy Hat thought this topic was very valuable, but he still rejected the man.

Firstly, there is not enough time. The experiment that person mentioned will not produce any interim results for dozens or even hundreds of years. By then, the professor will graduate with any other paper he writes.

In addition, this experiment is not very humane. It is true that Pointy Hat likes scientific research, but he does not want to openly violate the laws of the Grand Alliance to interfere with or even drastically change the history of a plane, especially when it will cause the deaths of billions of people.

However, he still praised his new friend's wonderful idea, and the man did not take it seriously. He still came to chat with him from time to time and explored the possibility of joint research between different disciplines.

The man with the pointed hat really enjoyed these academic exchanges, and every time someone came they would bring him some cookies, which tasted very good.

The Pointed Hat would also use animated plants to entertain his good friends. Millipede had seen him express his feelings in the comments more than once, saying that the people here were simple and honest, unlike the Big League, which was full of interests and calculations.

The man in the pointed hat even considered bringing the visitor back to the major leagues, but he was a PhD student and didn't know any bureaucrats at the Immigration Bureau. At best, he could only dream about it at night and had no connections in this regard.

Perhaps because he had someone to chat with and relieve stress, Pointed Hat's paper went very smoothly and was completed a month and a half ahead of schedule. He also had an idea for the second one.

It was definitely too late in terms of time. However, once he accepted the fact of delayed graduation, Pointed Hat was not as anxious as he was at the beginning. The worst result was just being a slave for another year. On the bright side, at least his tutor didn't have any thoughts about his butt.

The last message Malu found was from Pointy Hat saying that his new friend was going to bake him some cookies with new flavors tomorrow, and he was very much looking forward to it.

After that, the millipede never found any new landmarks nearby.
