179: Simulation Enhancement Talent
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
In this venue filled with white-bearded old men, Li Wen seemed particularly out of place, like a little chick that had wandered into a flock of cranes.
Before the meeting officially began, the other esteemedBig guys exchanged greetings, some discussing academic issues, others simply chatting, creating a harmonious and lively atmosphere.
Only Lin Yan quietly sat beside Li Wen.
Did Lin Yan not want to interact with others? The answer is, of course, no.
The reason he chose to stay put and accompany Li Wen was because his personality was too eccentric and unpredictable.
If he were to move around, he might cause trouble at any moment.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary complications, Lin Yan decided to tackle the problem at its root: as long as he didn't actively seek trouble, no incidents would naturally arise.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the official start of the meeting arrived.
According to the established rules, it was first the turn of the representative teams from ordinary universities to draw lots to determine the order of their presentations.
This time, Tiannan Breeding University was incredibly lucky, drawing the first opportunity to present!
It's worth noting that while being the first to present brings considerable pressure, as long as the subsequent teams' results aren't too astonishing, it's less likely to cause too much of a sensory disparity for the judges.
When the presentation team walked onto the stage, Li Wen immediately spotted the girl with the lively eyes.
However, with her independent nature, she was clearly not suited to bear the heavy responsibility of explaining the results this time.
The research topic they brought this time was 'High Yield of Active Source Water from Small Spring Spirits.' From their report, it must have contained many clever ideas and innovations.
Using the trait 'Spirit Water' of ordinary 'Small Spring Spirits,' which originally improved the continuous combat ability of pet beasts, they researched and used it to maintain the activity of source water.
However, the level of the results felt ordinary to Li Wen, equivalent to a small part of Li Wen's own achievements.
Nevertheless, despite his inner impatience, Li Wen still patiently listened.
To be honest, he wasn't looking for so-called inspiration from these reports; rather, he was worried that if he abruptly ran off now, the consequences would be unimaginable—Lin Yan and the dean might just gobble him up alive!
As expected, the subsequent reports did not improve at all; in fact, they could be said to have gone from bad to worse.
Of course, this wasn't actually too bad, after all, it was just a competition between universities.
The participating teams were basically composed of a supervising teacher leading several students to complete the relevant research topics.
The quality of results presented by such a combination was actually at a normal level to reach its current state.
This continued until the last team from the ordinary universities took the stage, and only then did the situation improve slightly.
The quality of the research topic submitted by this team was indeed slightly better than that of Tiannan Breeding University.
But unfortunately, their luck was simply too bad, because the next university to present, according to long-standing custom, was the undisputed ace institution of the entire Breeding Department—Haidu University's Breeding Department.
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"Hello everyone, I am Luo Luyao from Haidu University's Breeding Department."
As her voice fell, a tall, beautiful girl elegantly walked onto the stage.
Following closely behind her were several staff members, carefully carrying a mechanical device resembling a hamster wheel onto the stage and placing it securely.
As this scene unfolded, a commotion immediately erupted below the stage, with various discussions rising and falling, their intensity clearly incomparable to the previous teams.
However, Luo Luyao, the 'Sixth Seat of the Golden Generation,' who appeared very confident, was not disturbed by the outside world at all and calmly said,
"Our research group's topic is 'Simulated Enhancement Talent Training Device.'"
"It is well known that once a pet beast and a Beastmaster successfully advance to Level Five, the effects brought by the enhancement trait become extremely significant."
"However, further increasing this amplification ratio is not an easy task."
"After long-term and unremitting research and exploration by our entire team, we finally astonishingly discovered a fact: it turns out that trait enhancement and pet beast feedback share astonishing similarities—their actual effects are both influenced by the inherent factors of the boosted party."
"Thus, if it's possible to simulate the operation of an enhancement trait in advance, before reaching the Monarch Tier, to enhance the pet beast's adaptability to this enhancement trait."
"Then, when truly entering the Monarch Tier, the resulting effects will undoubtedly be greatly improved!"
"Based on this concept, we have meticulously replicated a special mechanical device."
"It cleverly mimics the energy frequency released by Beastmasters skilled in using enhancement traits."
"Even without a signed contract, this machine can still exert an extremely subtle yet genuinely existing enhancing effect."
After speaking, she gently pressed a button, activating the machine before her.
In an instant, there was no earth-shattering change; merely a faint, soft, and ethereal halo appeared around the machine.
Just then, the Monarch Tier pet beast responsible for the live demonstration slowly walked into the center of the machine.
Immediately after, a wondrous aura began to subtly rise.
Although the ascent speed appeared somewhat slow, and the magnitude was not particularly large, everyone present clearly and distinctly felt that subtle and real change.
