Chapter 130: Second Level Professor Jiang Mengxi

Zhao Yuxi took Xu Yingze into a square house. She remembered that Fuxian Lake King's spokesperson, Jiang Mengxi, a second-level professor at the Academy of Sciences, was in Office 122 in this building.

The office door was closed. Zhao Yuxi cast a note in her eyes, and then she saw Jiang Mengxi hand-drawing a gear parts diagram in the office. She waited for a few seconds at the door before knocking. At that time, Jiang Mengxi had just put down the pen in his hand.

When Zhao Yuxi saw Jiang Mengxi walking towards her, she quickly retracted the notes in her eyes. The door opened and she immediately went to greet him enthusiastically: "Hi, Teacher Jiang, I'm here to borrow something from you."

Jiang Mengxi's drawing was far from finished. She stopped because she heard footsteps: "Huh? Teacher Zhao is so polite? It seems that the things you want to borrow are not very valuable."

Zhao Yuxi smiled and said, "Whether it is worth money or not is not up to me to decide, it is up to you to decide."

"Tell me, what do you need? Who is this girl?"

"My colleague, Xu Yingze, who is about to be promoted to the dean of the third-level branch."

"Not bad, you're young and promising. Okay, let's get to the point. What do you want to borrow from me?"

Zhao Yuxi looked at Xu Yingze and said, "Stationmaster Xu, are you the one who makes the request or am I the one who makes the request?"

Xu Ying knew very little about the materials. She thought that since she was the one making the request and selecting the materials, she would most likely choose the best-looking ones. To prevent this from happening, she gave Zhao Yuxi the opportunity to make the request: "You come. You give it to me, so you decide."

Zhao Yuxi spent her own money to help her own people. Her request was straightforward and generous: "Okay. Teacher Jiang, I want a tool that can defeat Gu Tingzhou."

Jiang Mengxi was stunned: What you said doesn't make sense. Even if you and I were combined, we might not be able to definitely defeat Gu Tingzhou.

"Will you beat him, or will this girl beat him?"

Zhao Yuxi replied: "Neither, it's another colleague of mine, also an Ancient One. They agreed not to use the Asymptote entity, but to use tools of the same level to fight."

Jiang Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh... then maybe there's a chance to win, I'll think of a way."

When Xu Ying heard "maybe there is a chance", she knew that this matter was not simple. But it made sense. The odds of a medieval person fighting an ancient person were slim. Even if they were fighting at the same level, it would be extremely difficult.

Zhao Yuxi didn't want to leave her any room: "I must win."

Jiang Mengxi looked embarrassed: "Must win? I can't make the decision on this matter, you have to find Gu Tingzhou."

Zhao Yuxi stopped insisting: "Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang, please think of some solutions and try to finish the work within half a month. When the tools are ready, notify me to pick them up."

"No, I'll deliver it myself. I'm curious whether the tool I made can defeat Gu Tingzhou. I want to watch their fight."

"Thank you."

After Zhao Yuxi expressed her gratitude, Xu Ying also said "thank you".

"You're welcome. Teacher Zhao, have you received the information this month? I saw in the information that the Institute and the Academy of Sciences will jointly carry out six projects next month. You are a big shot in the Institute and must be one of the leaders of the project. Prepare in advance."

Zhao Yuxi was a little embarrassed: "Oh, there is no big shot. These projects are very important? Do I need to be there in person?"

Jiang Mengxi took out a thick folder from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Zhao Yuxi: "Here are my documents for you. I have marked the key points. Take a look at it when you are free. Don't let your secretary do it for you this time." Zhao Yuxi felt even more embarrassed: "Okay, I understand."

"It's not easy for Teacher Zhao to come to the Academy of Sciences. You can stay at my place tonight. Tomorrow morning, you can have breakfast with other friends and help them solve some problems."

Zhao Yuxi was not opposed to living in the Academy of Sciences. She had to solve her friend's problem. She was afraid that Xu Ying would not agree: "Stationmaster Xu, you don't have to see my friends. If you don't want to stay, I'll find someone to take you back to the ground."

Xu Ying really had no intention of staying overnight: "I'll go back first. Thank you, teachers, for the tools."

"Teacher Jiang, please find someone to take her back."

"I thought you were looking for someone. OK, I'll notify my secretary to pick her up."

Two minutes later, Zhang Shenyue knocked on the door of office 122.

Zhao Yuxi stretched out her right index finger and drew a circle in the air. She pushed the virtual circle, and ten meters away, the door handle turned and the door hinge turned.

"Teacher, you are looking for me."

"Zhang Shenyue, send Mr. Zhao's friend to the ground, and then notify the Level 4 professors in the Materials Department and the Energy and Power Department to come to my place for a meeting in an hour."

After sending Xu Yingze away, Jiang Mengxi and Zhao Yuxi discussed private matters: "Is the Medieval one worthy of your attention?"

"There's no other way. We can't ask the Ancients to fulfill our wishes." Fulfilling wishes, asymptotes shifting. Zhao Yuxi was very confident that she could suppress Xu Yingze even without the asymptotes, but if she changed to the Ancients, she would have no chance of winning.

"That's true. How are my family members out there? Have there been any actions against them recently?"

Since reaching the third level, Jiang Mengxi suddenly felt that no place in the world was safe, and the most unsafe place was probably the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences. There were at least twenty ancients stationed at the headquarters, and they were like bombs. No matter which bomb exploded, it would be enough to destroy all ordinary people in the headquarters. Jiang Mengxi asked Zhao Yuxi to help settle his family, which not only borrowed the power of the two academies, but also avoided the threat of the ancients.

"No. I'm here for the outside world, so you can rest assured. I handle these things personally, and only we know about them. Are these also the problems your other friends want to solve?" Zhao Yuxi handed over a lot of work and daily affairs to her subordinates, but she never delegated matters for her friends and allies to others.

"Not necessarily. You can tell them in detail tomorrow when you meet them." Jiang Mengxi carved out a stepped USB flash drive out of thin air. "The information you asked me to collect is all here. There is only one copy. Destroy it after reading it."

Zhao Yuxi summoned dozens of colorless musical notes and put them into the USB drive. The notes were all dyed with different colors. She put in more notes until the notes were no longer dyed. Then, the USB drive began to decompose and fade, and it became something like confetti and fell to the ground.

“It has been destroyed.”

Jiang Mengxi drew a circle to collect the USB debris: "Teacher Zhao is efficient in his work."

"I'll reply to you after I've read the contents of the USB drive." Zhao Yuxi used notes to store files, but she never even looked at them.

"Don't worry, take your time. There is one question I can't figure out: What is the meaning of doing these things?"

Everything Zhao Yuxi did was for her own selfish desires. Her ultimate goal was the whole world. But what she said was completely different: "Maybe what we do is meaningless. How people live today cannot extend the past even a moment. How people live tomorrow cannot be known in advance. Asymptotes do not increase life span, and everyone's time is very limited. In a limited time, we do what we want to do and realize the wishes that should be realized."

Jiang Mengxi was bewildered by her and deeply moved.
