[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

This mechanism, as reported by Farusan, indeed combines multiple functions such as repelling monsters, clearing sand, and providing escort and patrol services.

As for those extra, useless components, Seno agreed with Farusan's statement that "those are just for decompression!"

Finally, after Farusan explained the disciplinary officers' doubts one by one, Seno officially announced that the investigation into [Scholar Farusan] and [Project: "Piran"] had come to an end.

There were no problems with the scholar, Farusan, or her project codenamed "Piran".

Sino apologized for his and his colleagues' overstepping of boundaries, and the disciplinary officer who had come to bang on the door that morning also lowered his head and apologized to Chao Ke and the other man.

While arranging for his subordinates to clean up the research workshop that they had messed up for Farusan, Seno explained to Chao Ke and Farusan why their disciplinary officers had targeted Farusan and her "Pilan" project.

The root cause lies in Farusian's mysterious disappearance and her sudden return a century later.

But when it came to what happened during that time, no matter who asked, Farusan always gave the same vague explanation.

"We messed up during the decryption process!"

"What, is there any law that says a senior can't make a mistake?"

Although what Farusan said was true, unfortunately, sometimes the truth is not something everyone is willing to believe.

Out of professional ethics, the disciplinary officers questioned Farusan's claims.

They had a preconceived notion that Farusian had some unspeakable secret.

Furthermore, Farusan's subsequent actions further agitated the disciplinary officers' sensitive nerves.

He first rejected the prestigious Shravasti Academy, which offered generous terms and even promised nominations for the next Sage, and instead chose to remain at the Shravasti Academy, which offered only meager compensation.

If these actions could still be explained by a passion for academics, then Farusan's subsequent actions were tantamount to dancing on the sore spots of the disciplinary officials.

I applied for a mechanical engineering project codenamed "Viram" at Shravasti University, which focuses on the study of languages ​​and scripts.

Immediately, all sorts of unpleasant speculations surfaced in the minds of the disciplinary officers.

Scholars who have come into contact with the Red King civilization can hardly help but be drawn to its strange wisdom. Could it be that Farusan deliberately stayed at the Shravasti Academy to take advantage of the fact that the Gnostic censors were unfamiliar with mechanical knowledge and take the opportunity to reproduce some dangerous creation of the Red King civilization?

This possibility is not nonexistent, and it is quite likely.

Therefore, the disciplinary officials behave as they do today.

Farussan expressed her understanding, aside from her dissatisfaction with the disciplinary officer who banged on the door that morning, her behavior today was quite cooperative with the disciplinary officers' work.

"Younger generations, how could I, as your senior, have committed such a 'Six Root Sins'?"

The discipline officers laughed awkwardly.

Seeing that the atmosphere had shifted from confrontation to harmony, Seno spoke up.

"Let me tell you two jokes."

The disciplinary officers who were tidying up Farusan's research workshop paused, their expressions shifting. They were about to refuse when Farusan spoke first.

“Great! Jokes are an important part of linguistics. I’d like to see what new jokes will be out there a hundred years from now.”

Chao Ke's lips twitched. "Sino's jokes... they're probably going to be 'more 'exciting' than you can imagine..."

Do you know who the dirtiest creature in the world is?

"Who is it? A sand pupa living in the desert, or one of those living in the mud..."

"No, neither."

Sino shook his head and replied.

"The answer is Ice Slime!"

"Because they always walk on the water's surface, but never go down to bathe..."

Chao Ke: ....

Farusian: ....

Other discipline officers: ...

“Long ago, there was a pack animal in the Daocheng Forest that carried heavy goods every day.”

"Finally, one day, it was crowned the champion of the [Beast Carrying Bodybuilding Competition]!"

Everyone:....

Sino tilted his head in confusion. "What, isn't it funny?"

Chao Ke shrank back, finally understanding why Seno alone could defeat the superconductor...

Chapter 186 The storm is over

Unlike the others who were shivering in the cold, Senior Falushan, standing next to Chao Ke, was seriously pondering and savoring the meaning behind the joke told by Seno.

It wasn't until Chao Ke, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and touched his senior's waist that he spoke.

"Stop trying to deduce the meaning of the joke from the grammar and semantics."

"His jokes aren't that profound; they're just literal homophones!"

Farusan stared blankly at Chao Ke and Seno with disbelief.

"Really?"

Chao Ke remained silent, but Seno, the one who had been telling the joke, slowly nodded, acknowledging Chao Ke's explanation.

"Those jokes are so boring..."

Several discipline officers also nodded almost imperceptibly.

However, although Sino's jokes were not very funny and were somewhat lame, the disciplinary officers still quite liked Sino telling jokes (not the jokes Sino told).

After all, while such moments may be awkward, they are still much warmer than a serious meeting.

Not long after, the disciplinary officers finished tidying up the Farusan Research Workshop and were about to leave with the officers.

At this moment, Farusan greatly admired Seno's ability to distinguish right from wrong, and also expressed her gratitude to him for stopping his men from dismantling the "Piran" Unit-01.

After looking at the Evangelion Unit-01, whose research was largely complete, I suddenly became interested.

"Want to name my new work? Grand Disciplinarian, Seno?"

Sino was also quite interested in this matter, and after pondering for a moment, he replied.

"Since this organization has this connection with our disciplinary officials, and it can generate strong winds..."

"How about we call it the 'Great Wind Mechanism'!"

After Chao Ke's explanation, Farusan did not inquire further about whether the name Seno had any deeper meaning.

Instead, he rejected the proposal on the spot with an icy expression.

Meanwhile, Seno's disciplinary colleagues immediately reminded him that the Shahavara Academy had already established an institution with the same name, giving Seno a way out.

Of course, Farusan kept her word and named her work "Bilan Heavy Machine" after the name of the Cyno [Great Wind Machine].

After finishing this matter, Chao Ke took Farusan's hand and went to a restaurant in Sumeru City to have a late... brunch.

After last night's intense exercise and this morning's explanation, Farusan was also hungry and ate her meal with great appetite.

"Do you have any other plans for your trip to Sumeru?"

"No."

Chao Ke shook his head. "All the related matters have been taken care of. I'm here mainly to keep you company."

"Will you stay with me...?"

A sweet feeling welled up in Farusan's heart.

However, considering her own monotonous academic life, Farusan thought it over carefully and decided to take Chao Ke to a different environment.

After such a hard-won reunion, what kind of person stays indoors doing research all the time?

Moreover, based on Falusan's understanding of Chao Ke.

Whether my academic research can continue as usual while I am in the same room with him will be a huge question.

It's quite possible that before you've even finished half of your academic research, you'll become "research equipment" and be thoroughly "studied" by Chao Ke.

Therefore, Farusan did not intend to stay at home, but wanted to take Chao Ke to various places in Xumi to experience the local customs and culture.

Just in time, his "Bilan" project was also basically completed. He only needed to submit a final project report to the Ministry of Education to receive a substantial stipend.

If we're frugal, it should be enough to take Chao Ke on a proper trip around Xumi.

Farusan told Chao Ke about her idea, and Chao Ke was naturally happy to accept this "honeymoon trip".

After dinner, Farusan said she wanted to go home together so she could finish her project report as soon as possible.

Chao Ke originally wanted to go home with Senior Falushan, but...

On his way home, Chao Ke discovered a beautifully decorated clothing store in the commercial street.

Outside the store, various exquisite fabrics are displayed, showcasing the quality of their own fabrics.

On the other side, several well-designed garments were displayed, showcasing the superb tailoring skills of their family.

Chao Ke's eyes lit up. He told his senior colleague, Falushan, to go home first, while he stayed behind to buy two sets of clothes.

With her mind preoccupied with how to present the project report, Farusian didn't think much of it and assumed that Chao Ke had come in a hurry and hadn't brought a change of clothes.

After giving Chao Ke a few instructions, Falushan went home first.

Watching Farusan leave, Chao Ke, still inside the clothing store, revealed a twisted smile.

"Hello sir, are you buying clothes for yourself, or for...?"

The sales assistant stepped forward and asked Chao Ke.

"I bought this for my wife. Take me to see the women's styles in the store."

The sales assistant nodded slightly and led Chao Ke into the store.

"Eh?!"

"Wait, what are these clothes?"

Chao Ke suddenly stopped a sales assistant in the store and asked.

The sales assistant turned around in confusion and looked in the direction Ke was pointing.
