After being struck by lightning, I became the leader of the elves

Yanjing, Dragon Cave.

"Xiaoxue, are you sure you want to choose this Pokémon? We can still take a look. There is no need to worry about safety issues. With Zeraora's aura, we can stay here for a long time."

Bai Muchen looked up at the Pokémon chosen by Lin Xue and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although this exotic Pokémon was a good match for Lin Xue's team, in his mind, there were many better options in the Dragon Cave.

Why don't you get a quasi-god for your daughter?

Lin Xue stared quietly at the Poké Ball in her hand, which had gradually calmed down. After a long while, she whispered:

"No, just her."

"Okay," seeing that Lin Xue had made up her mind, Bai Muchen nodded and said nothing more.

"Remember that the preschool classes at Peking University and Tsinghua University are about to start, so let's go back and rest."

Bai Muchen asked with concern:

"By the way, are you used to living in school? Why don't you just go home and live for a while? Come to think of it, I haven't been back to my villa in Yanjing for a long time."

……

"Senior Baizhi, long time no see."

On the other side, Lin Feng, Zhang Tianhou, Wang Xiaotian, Bai Zhi and others arrived at the gate of Peking University and Tsinghua University, and greeted Bai Zhi warmly who was jogging over.

"Why are you here?"

Bai Zhi looked at Lin Feng and the others in front of her, feeling pleasantly surprised and somewhat astonished.

She looked at her sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time, rubbed her face, and then greeted the other people.

"The monkey said he wanted to give you a surprise, so he didn't tell you in advance."

Lin Feng smiled, then he paused and continued to ask curiously:

"It's winter vacation now, but I heard from Bai Yao that you're still staying in school. Are you busy with your studies?"

"Oh, don't mention the winter vacation. It's all because of the extracurricular activities assigned by the teachers. I'm almost too busy to handle them all now."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and explained with a wry smile:

"According to the school's requirements, all freshmen must choose one of three practical tasks to complete during the holidays."

"The first task is to obtain any gym badge; the second is to make certain achievements in any field such as science, archaeology, performing arts, or publish a paper and obtain official recognition; and the third task is to successfully complete a scientific research invention, which will only count after being reviewed and approved by the school's teaching and research group."

"These...are freshmen really capable of accomplishing them?!"

Zhang Tianhou and Wang Xiaotian looked at Bai Zhi in amazement and questioned in unison.

Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then replied:

"Well...it's actually not that difficult."

She paused, then explained, "Although the process may be a bit cumbersome, according to the seniors, almost every student here can successfully complete one of the tasks before the end of the winter vacation. Among them, most students will choose to obtain the fighting or insect temple badges."

"With my current abilities, I can probably get these two badges, but I want to challenge myself."

As she spoke, a confident smile appeared on her face, "So, this is the second topic I chose."

"At present, my paper "Fossil Pokémon Gene Cloning and Evolutionary Risk Assessment of Gene Mutations in Modern Populations" is halfway done. I estimate that it will be finished in about a week."

"What the hell?" Lin Feng and the others blinked. They knew every word Bai Zhi said, but why couldn't they understand it when they put them together?

Hearing this, Bai Zhi's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she continued:

"Well...it's actually very simple. To put it simply, in order to deal with those wild Pokémon with insect attributes, considering their resistance to the currently used highly effective cyhalothrin, we can first use RT-PCR and RACE technology to clone and obtain the full length of their gene sequence, and then..."

(I regret entering the laboratory in the first semester of my freshman year. My poor winter vacation!!! e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3)

Bai Zhi was speaking excitedly, but she noticed that the people in front of her were looking at each other in confusion, as if they were listening to something incomprehensible. She held her forehead with her hand helplessly.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Bai Zhi waved her hand gently, and then quickly changed the subject. She looked at Lin Feng and said:

Lin Feng, you must be planning to familiarize yourself with the campus environment beforehand when you come here, right? If so, how about I be your guide and take you around?

"You're so busy, will it affect your project?"

Lin Feng asked a little embarrassedly. He did have this idea originally, but after listening to the three extracurricular practical tasks of Peking University and Tsinghua University, he was a little intimidated by this university.

With his ability, it seems that he won't be able to complete any other tasks except getting the badge in one day.

"It's okay. It will take some time for the PCR machine to finish its work. I also need to go to the Bean Cricket Market to buy some things. Let's go shopping together."

As she spoke, Bai Zhi suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"If you're lucky, you might find some treasures."

……

"You mean, the Pokémon language translator that the league installed on the phone of elite trainer Rotom last year was actually invented by a freshman from Tsinghua University?"

On the way to the cricket market, after hearing Bai Zhi's detailed explanation of the matter, several people couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

“Yes, although the outside world has reported that this Pokémon language translator was developed by the joint efforts of the research team of Tsinghua University and Peking University, the actual situation is that it was entirely the work of that genius student.

"But considering that he is still young and may face pressure and influence from all sides, his identity was not made public, and the report was released in the name of the entire research team. But even so, some students in the school still learned some of the inside story to a certain extent."

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded, and further explained to everyone.

"Moreover, the earliest version of this app, the Pokémon Language Translator, was leaked at the Cricket Market."

"The freshman at the time just wanted to give it a try and put it on display at the fair, but he didn't expect it to cause a huge sensation. It was eventually picked up by the league and improved and perfected, becoming the popular model it is today."

"What's the name of the new student?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lin Feng asked curiously.

"I don't know. All the students who knew his name signed a confidentiality agreement. Also, it is said that when he was setting up the stall, he covered himself tightly. You know, it was summer!"

"Genius always has something different about him."

Lin Feng smiled and became even more interested in this person.

Bai Zhi took this opportunity to continue:

“In fact, there are many students like him. Because of the practical projects, many senior students will choose to sell their inventions that have passed the assessment here. On the one hand, they can earn some extra money to supplement their living expenses, and on the other hand, they can take this opportunity to increase the popularity and influence of their works.”

“If a scientific research product receives a good response and reputation in the market, it may even attract the attention of the alliance and develop in-depth cooperation with it. The school will naturally not treat these outstanding students unfairly and will give them corresponding rewards and honorary titles according to the specific circumstances.”

At this time, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the bean cricket market. Looking around, the bustling crowd, the dazzling array of goods and the constant shouting of vendors intertwined together, forming a picture full of vitality and vigor.

"So, you've come at the right time. At the bean cricket market at Peking University and Tsinghua University, you can see many things that are not available outside, and the process of shopping is also very interesting."

Bai Zhi stood at the entrance of the market with a smile on her face. She skillfully took out her student ID and swiped it, then led a few people into the market.

Just after entering the market, Zhang Tianhou was stunned by the crowded scene in front of him. He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Why are there so many people?"

The market was filled with students gathered in groups of three or five. Some were bargaining enthusiastically, while others were concentrating on selecting the items they liked.

There was almost no place to step on both sides of the road.

After hearing Zhang Tianhou's exclamation, Bai Zhi smiled and explained:

“After all, to successfully complete those complex research projects, sometimes relying on one’s own efforts alone is not enough, and often requires the help of some external forces.

"Therefore, students come here to see if they can find some special props, or find a reliable person to help write their papers, or get some R&D inspiration from others."

"If you need anything, you can just swipe my card. If people outside the school buy it with Elf Coins, the price will be several times higher."

Bai Zhi looked at the students setting up stalls on both sides and introduced them as she walked:

"The bean cricket market is about 100 meters long and can be roughly divided into three areas: the traditional resource props area, the hodgepodge area, and the help area."

"The traditional resource props area sells evolution stones, carrying props, food ingredients, skill machines, etc. that students obtain through field training or other means. Occasionally, there are also top-quality evolution props such as mega stones, gigantic wristbands, and tai crystal stones."

Lin Feng listened to Bai Zhi's introduction, glanced at the fire orbs, poisonous orbs, life orbs and other rare items sold by the students nearby, which were rarely seen in large supermarkets outside, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In Peking University and Tsinghua University, can even precious beads be sold wholesale?
