Chapter 190

"I could have graduated long ago; I'm just working on my PhD now. If it weren't for those old stubborn people saying I have to win an award before they consider giving me the degree, I would have left here long ago."

Mary chewed the beef in her mouth resentfully, as if what was in her mouth were those old professors.

Louis was speechless.

Hailey beside him took a deep breath, still unable to calm her complex mood.

A PhD is not just a PhD; the PhD degree Mary was going for couldn't be simple, and besides, no matter what kind it was, it was still a PhD!

How old is she!

She's about to be a PhD?

No, no, no, she hasn't become one yet.

Hailey stabilized her emotions.

At this time, she heard Mary say, "But it should be soon. I have already broken most of those questions, just one left. The first PhD degree should be given to me soon."

"Keep it up, don't forget our agreement." Louis encouraged her.

Mary nodded.

She and Louis had agreed that she would earn three PhD degrees, then open up paths in the academic world, and then return to Orlando.

The academic world has always been hugely connected to the scientific world. As long as you handle the academic world, the scientific world is equivalent to being handled as well.

Talent would naturally flow in continuously.

Moreover, Louis did not want to affect her future development because of himself. As for cultivation like Qi Gong, it was fine to do both.

That was why he made this agreement with her.

"As for Uncle, I don't know what he's busy with every day now." A trace of hidden worry flashed in Mary's eyes.

"Louis, can you help me check on him? I always feel like he's doing something bad."

Frank doing bad things?

Louis remembered that righteous face of his, which looked like Captain America, and found it hard to imagine what bad things he could be doing.

But Louis still agreed, "Okay."

Subsequently, the three chatted while eating the food on their trays.

Of course, saying the three were chatting, in reality, most of the time it was Louis and Mary chatting, and Hailey only chimed in from time to time.

The content of their chat wasn't all idle talk; there was a lot of content about arts and Qi Gong, especially in terms of arts, Mary had spent the last few years because of Louis.

She had specifically delved into the culture of a certain country and also had an understanding of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements changes in the arts.

Even because of her super comprehension, she could discuss the practice of arts with Louis to a certain extent.

In a sense, she was a fellow Daoist who could discuss the Dao with Louis, which was also one of the reasons Louis treated her differently.

"That's right, Qi Gong is actually unremarkable before the birth of internal Qi, but I cannot agree with your idea of using things like chemical hormones to stimulate it in order to give birth to internal Qi."

"Louis, you told me to learn to use modern technology. Modern chemical hormones can affect the human body. As long as they are reasonably matched, it is possible to force the body to give birth to internal Qi by affecting the body."

"You are right, but internal Qi is not just biological energy. The influence of hormones in this aspect is not as great as you imagine."

"Then why can't we combine hormones with alchemy and pharmacology? In this way, after conversion by pharmacology, it should be able to affect internal Qi..."

"By the way, internal Qi should affect mental energy. I feel my mind has become much clearer, and my energy has greatly increased, which is very helpful for research..."

"This is natural. Cultivation is itself a kind of evolution. Hey, can we start from the aspect of biological evolution?"

"..."

Watching the two arguing, envy flashed in Hailey's eyes.

Mary's status was indeed different.

Among them, perhaps only Emma could barely compare with her?

"Okay, okay, you're right. I will be cautious. Since Sister Hailey is here, I will hand this aspect over to her."

"Hmm, her talent in chemistry and biology is indeed trustworthy."

In a few words, Hailey found that her next path had been arranged.

Soon, time passed, and the two's idle chat ended.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the dormitory."

"I live in a dormitory by myself now, and the room next to me is just empty. Let Sister Hailey move in."

"Is that really okay?" Hailey was a bit puzzled.

"Of course, as long as I speak up." Mary said very proudly.

Seeing this, Hailey couldn't help but want to laugh. Mary's appearance reminded her of the past.

Mary was also this proud back then.

However, she did indeed have the qualifications to be proud.

No, I can't fall behind either. I am still very good at chemistry and biology.

Along the way, many students greeted Mary, their attitudes appearing very intimate, even vaguely carrying some flattery.

At the same time, they looked at Louis with very puzzled eyes, seemingly curious about why there was a man beside the genius Mary.

Louis, however, was very calm.

He was just using his Spiritual Eye Art to look around. After all, it was where Mary lived. Although it was a prestigious school, it was still this ghost place called America. It didn't mean it was truly safe; it was better to check it once.

"Mary, you take Hailey to the dormitory first, I'll look around."

"Okay, see you at the teaching building in a while."

Hailey and Mary soon arrived at the dormitory building.

They found that the situation was indeed as Mary said. She really enjoyed special privileges, living in a room by herself, and it was a luxury version of a room, with a bathroom, balcony, living room, kitchen, study, game room, and bedroom, all fully equipped!

This was the treatment for a genius among geniuses!

And although the room next to Mary was not as luxurious, it was not an ordinary room either. Many facilities inside were complete, which made Hailey puzzled.

"This building is only for special students to live in. Talented people naturally have privileges. This is openly displayed by the school, and everyone accepts it." Mary explained like this.

"Even we special students have different classes from others. Every time we have a class, there is a name in the school called 'Superhuman Course'. Tsk, the name is really ugly..." Mary complained while helping Hailey tidy up her things.

Hailey had a deeper understanding of this school.

So naked?

This is really... too great!

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to see the classroom. Although it's not fixed, you still need to remember the orientation of the teaching building."

Mary led the way confidently.

Hailey felt that Mary was truly different now.

When they arrived at the teaching building, they saw Louis walking toward a classroom.

Mary glanced at the classroom, thought for a moment, and remembered. This classroom was holding a lecture today, specifically called a Supernatural Lecture.

The speaker was a couple, it seemed their name was... Warren?

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."
