America's Greatest Villain: I Defeat Magic with Magic

Chapter 98 You guys really know how to have fun.

"According to the college's latest regulations, the advanced laboratories in Area B can only be used by teams of three or more people."

Seeing that Arthur remained silent, the voice became even more aggressive: "You are all alone, and you haven't produced anything in the past year. You've been a complete waste of the school's resources and have no right to stay here."

Through the crack in the door, you could see that Arthur's face was flushed, and his lips were trembling violently, as if he wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.

Chen Yuan had also heard that some highly intelligent people often suffer from severe social difficulties in real life.

But looking at Arthur being insulted to his face and not daring to talk back, he is a complete and utter social phobia!

But when Kevin took him to Rongding Pavilion last night, Arthur, though flustered, was still able to manage a normal conversation.

This shows that Kevin's social skills are exceptional. Only social butterflies could handle someone with social anxiety.

Seeing that Arthur was cornered, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate any longer and immediately pushed open the door and went in.

"Arthur is already a member of my team."

He looked at the smug-looking young man in front of him, who appeared to be a member of the student council, and said, "Our team currently has four people. Shouldn't we be eligible to continue using this lab?"

"He joined your team?"

The man found it hard to believe, after all, Arthur was known for being a loner.

Forget about forming a team, he doesn't even have anyone willing to eat at the same table with him normally. And now someone actually dares to take this burden under their wing?

"Our team roster has already been submitted to the student council via email; you can check it yourself."

.

The officer frowned, but still refused to back down: "No matter what team you are, this lab has already been booked in advance by Adrian's team. They will be conducting an important clinical data simulation experiment here this morning."

Didn't you understand what I said?

Chen Yuan stepped forward, closing in on the officer, a cold glint in his eyes: "Arthur already had the long-term right to use this laboratory, and now that he's joined our team, everything is completely in accordance with the academy's rules and regulations. Therefore, we will continue to use this place today."

Chen Yuan's powerful aura forced the clerk to take two steps back, but the clerk, emboldened by some unknown source, stubbornly persisted: "How important can your research be? Is it just about working on those fried chicken leg batter recipes in the lab?"

"Adrian's project is a monumental undertaking that concerns the future of hundreds of students, determining whether they can successfully complete the Spark Program! You must yield!"

Clearly, after a night of buzz, the name Adrian had become a highly sought-after "savior" in the eyes of the students in the School of Life Sciences.

Rich second-generation heirs from wealthy families will directly spend money to buy the "early riser partner" spot from him.

Students without money, in order to curry favor with Adrian's team and obtain the coveted $50,000 life-saving bonus, became Adrian's lackeys, clearing obstacles for him.

It can be said that overnight, Adrian established a considerable "community of interest" in the School of Life Sciences through his "partnership system".

Just then, another boy appeared at the door, saying unhappily, "Pete, why haven't you vacated this lab yet? Adrian is coming over to do experiments in half an hour."

Upon seeing his colleagues arrive, the officer named Pete's attitude hardened again: "The cryogenic centrifuge in this lab is crucial to Adrian's upcoming research projects, so regardless of what team you are, you must vacate this lab this morning!"

The boy at the door chimed in loudly, "Yeah, we used the centrifuges here to test a lot of data last night, and we were planning to continue this morning. Since you guys are just researching fried chicken here anyway, it would be better to give this valuable equipment to the elite team who need it more!"

At top-tier universities like USC, advanced laboratory resources are rarely allocated to a single student for exclusive use.

Everyone takes turns sharing the equipment according to the pre-arranged schedule.

However, sometimes experiments take too long, so it is necessary to coordinate with users who are behind in the queue to borrow the time, which is not a big deal in itself.

However, Chen Yuangan was quite displeased with their appalling act of directly driving Arthur away.

He casually glanced at the student leader named Pete's head; the red information panel there happened to record what they had done in the lab the previous night.

Chen Yuan chuckled and walked straight past the two men to the center of a cryogenic centrifuge priced at a staggering $800,000.

He extended his index finger and gently rubbed it along the edge of the gap in the metal base of the instrument, picking up a little bit of dark red, viscous liquid.

"Did you conduct an important experiment here last night?"

Chen Yuan turned around, looked at his blood-stained fingertips, and sneered, "But why do I have a feeling that you secretly used the expensive medical centrifuge as a refrigerator to quickly chill the red wine you brought?"

Upon hearing this, Pete and the boy at the door immediately changed their expressions!

Last night, while the two of them were conducting experiments for Adrian here, they got bored and complained about the lab refrigerator's poor cooling efficiency. So they put a bottle of red wine they had brought into this low-temperature centrifuge to quickly cool it down.

"Bringing alcoholic beverages into the lab is already a serious violation, but you actually used expensive lab equipment to chill the drinks? And you even contaminated the machinery in the process!"

Chen Yuan waved his fingers, stained with red wine, in front of the two men: "You guys really know how to have fun!"

Pete never imagined that Chen Yuan was fully aware of their outrageous behavior the previous night. He broke out in a cold sweat, desperately trying to argue, "You—what evidence do you have? This is a completely baseless accusation!"

"If you want evidence, just check the surveillance footage from this lab last night," Chen Yuan retorted jokingly. "Or are you saying you had a guilty conscience and turned off the lab's surveillance beforehand?"

Chen Yuan's words completely shattered the last shred of hope in Pete and the other boy's hearts.

Because last night, in order to avoid suspicion, they did indeed secretly turn off the laboratory's security monitoring.

But how did Chen Yuan know about this? Could it be that there are other cameras hidden in this laboratory?

Thinking of this, the two boys no longer dared to have any excuses, and didn't even dare to leave a harsh word. They fled the laboratory like stray dogs without looking back.

[Ding! Detected that the host used despicable means to intimidate two diligent college students. Villain points awarded:]

The 20 villain points I used this morning have been added back.

With just 10 more points, I'll have 500 villain points to learn [Intermediate Biotechnology Mastery]!

However, Chen Yuan was no longer in a hurry. After all, doing experiments is a very enjoyable thing. If he could solve the problem using his existing knowledge, the sense of accomplishment would undoubtedly bring him joy.

Just then, two familiar figures appeared outside the half-closed laboratory door; it was Kevin and Mina Hoshino.

"You've come at the perfect time!"

Chen Yuan changed into his lab coat, walked to the lab bench, and said to Arthur, who was still standing there somewhat dazed, "I've carefully reviewed the information you sent me yesterday. I also have a few immature ideas about the high-temperature denaturation and curing of 'high-temperature curing enzymes,' which I'll use to verify!"
