Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 324 A Friend's Visit: Fried Potatoes
"Unfortunately, in recent years, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's various research projects have gradually entered a bottleneck period. Whether it's conducting experiments to collect data or carrying out actual scientific research, we clearly feel a shortage of manpower. There are still too few excellent soul masters with research and development capabilities!" Xuan Ziwen sighed as he mentioned this.

Huo Yuhao suddenly had a thought and said, "Teacher Xuan, from what you just said, I feel that you have gone astray."

Xuan Ziwen was taken aback and asked, "Oh? What misunderstanding?"

“Some things don’t necessarily require a Soul Master to conduct research! Why don’t you break these things down further, categorize them, and then hand them over to ordinary people who are interested? Moreover, there are some things that you don’t have any theoretical basis to guide you on. Almost every project is doing the same things over and over again, so naturally, the research is inefficient.”

"For example, the 'ship armor improvement project' and the 'near-shore water-blocking dam project' that you just mentioned. Both of these projects involve fluid mechanics, but none of you have studied this. Instead, the two project teams rely on repeated experiments and corrections, doing the same work over and over again. This is bound to be inefficient."

Xuan Ziwen looked completely bewildered: "Fluid mechanics? What's that?"

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao immediately realized that this was, after all, a fantasy world dominated by soul masters. Even though soul tools had developed rapidly over the past few thousand years, it had not yet reached the point where these sub-disciplines had been developed.

But since he'd already said it, he might as well show off a little. It would be a good opportunity to instill in Xuan Ziwen the impression that he was very "advanced," paving the way for him to be lured away later.

"Fluid mechanics is a name I gave myself. It specifically studies the motion of liquids and gases and the interaction between fluids and solid surfaces. It can be used as a reference when manufacturing ships, dams, or other soul guides. In addition to this, I also thought of some other sub-disciplines, such as aerodynamics, materials science, elasticity, etc. These more specialized research directions are actually perfectly capable of being done by ordinary people."

"Through extensive experimentation and long-term data accumulation, effective reference data can be formed. When Soul Masters are developing Soul Guidance Device projects, these reference data can avoid a lot of repetitive work and experiments, save a lot of time, and accelerate the project."

As a seasoned level eight soul master, Xuan Ziwen could roughly guess what Huo Yuhao was trying to say from the literal meaning of many unfamiliar terms he had never heard before, even though Huo Yuhao had used quite a few. After a moment's thought, he immediately realized that what Huo Yuhao had just said was indeed a highly efficient approach!

After staring blankly at Huo Yuhao for a long time, Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but sigh again: "I really don't know how your brain works. Some things you see are even more accurate than those of us experts who have been studying for decades."

Huo Yuhao earnestly advised, "Teacher Xuan, you'd better not become an expert. In my hometown, the word 'expert' is like 'idiot'—it's an insult."

Xuan Ziwen scratched his head and said, "The customs in your hometown are quite unique."

Huo Yuhao sighed, "There's nothing we can do. The experts there don't think before they speak, and they slowly turn into idiots."

Xuan Ziwen glanced at the time and realized it was almost lunchtime. He shook his head and said impatiently, "Looks like I have to go report to the hall master again. I won't be able to have dinner tonight!"

Watching Xuan Ziwen leave the lab, Huo Yuhao wondered if he should ask Teacher Fan Yu to relay the information about the specialized disciplines back to Shrek Academy. After all, he had already told the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy; it would be a bit unreasonable not to inform Shrek Academy as well.

After waiting a while longer in the laboratory and memorizing a few more soul tools, Meng Hongchen arrived as promised, and the two headed towards the cafeteria again.

This time, Huo Yuhao also specially invited Ning Tian and He Caitou. Meng Hongchen had become acquainted with them during the competition, so she didn't mind. The four of them headed to the cafeteria, enjoyed a comfortable dinner, and then returned to their dormitories to meditate and cultivate. The next morning, Huo Yuhao once again received meticulous guidance from Xuan Ziwen on theoretical knowledge. At the same time, Xuan Ziwen also explained some points that needed attention regarding the Mingde Hall assessment.

"Alright, that's all for today. I have some things to do later. You can review what I just covered. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me next time." With that, Xuan Ziwen got up, dusted himself off, and left the lab.

Ju Zi didn't come today, and after Xuan Ziwen left, Huo Yuhao was alone in the lab again. After confirming with his True Sight that Xuan Ziwen was gone, he resumed his research, scanning the fully automated work platform.

A moment later, a "beep" sound suddenly came from the door. Huo Yuhao immediately stopped what he was doing and looked towards the door.

"Is Huo Yuhao here?" an unfamiliar voice came from the video access control system.

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "I'm here, is there something you need?"

"Huo Yuhao, someone is looking for you outside the academy. She claims to be your friend."

"Friends?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. In the Sun Moon Empire, shouldn't all the people he could call his friends be in the academy? As for Xiao Xiao and Dong'er, it's still a long time before Shrek Academy's vacation, and he just parted ways with them. They shouldn't suddenly run off to the Sun Moon Empire, right?

"Oh, right, she also asked me to bring you this box of fried potatoes. She said that once you see this, you'll know who she is."

Huo Yuhao was immediately jolted. Fried potatoes!
No way, could it be her?

Upon opening the laboratory door, a middle-aged man, around forty years old and dressed in a uniform, stood outside, holding a box of steaming hot fried potatoes and looking at him.

Huo Yuhao took the fried potatoes, and the middle-aged man smiled at him before turning and leaving.

Smelling the unique aroma of Huo's fried potatoes, a glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. This familiar smell must be hers!

But why would she travel all the way to the Sun Moon Empire to find me? Since she knew I was here, she must have gone back to Shrek Academy, right? I wonder if Beibei has seen her.
Huo Yuhao's mind raced. He closed the laboratory door and quickly checked his equipment, loading all the bullets that needed to be chambered so that he could immediately engage in combat should any unexpected situation arise.

Being in a foreign land, and in the Holy Spirit Cult's territory, Huo Yuhao dared not be careless in the slightest!

You've probably guessed who she is by now, right? Hehe.
