Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Hardcore! Academic Genius!

However.

Qin Xin maintained a cold demeanor, completely unfazed by the handsome face and earnest enthusiasm of the young man opposite her.

Ao Xinghao: ”Do you know why she’s called Little Dragon Girl? Because our Ao family is a big name, after all, the lineage of the Ancient Dragon King all carry the Ao surname...”

This time, Qin Xin finally looked up at him: ”Are you talking about the dragon skinned by Nezha?”

Ao Xinghao choked: ”...”

After a while.

He burst out laughing: ”Do you know, your way of retorting is very interesting, and you have a lot of cool trivia.”

Qin Xin inwardly rolled her eyes dramatically.

Ao Xinghao continued to laugh, his eyebrows arching attractively: ”You probably don’t know, right? You don’t need to feel inferior, you’re actually quite good. I make friends not based on looks, and I don’t think you’re ugly...”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Where the hell did this dumb bug see that I feel inferior???

Not ugly? Is he blind?

Associate professor’s office.

Gou Dachun stormed in angrily: ”That despicable woman, Ao Meng, is getting more outrageous, she actually insulted me in front of the students...”

Just as he was about to vent his frustrations to his colleagues.

He realized no one was paying him any attention.

Everyone was gathered around a computer, eagerly browsing an academic webpage in a foreign language, animatedly discussing:

”BMP-16 has been researched, my god, the research prowess is incredible!”

”Rumor has it that the one leading the experiment is an Imperial person, and very young too...”

”Hardcore, an academic genius!”

BMP-16?

Why does it sound familiar?

Gou Dachun suddenly remembered, of course, it sounds familiar. Just in the anatomy class for Class 2, he had asked that sleeping academic dullard, where can BMP be extracted from?

The result? That waste almost made him explode with anger, babbling that BMP-16 could be extracted from plants.

Doesn’t he know? The latest international drug development is only up to BMP-12. Here, due to incomplete legislation, we can only import basic drugs below BMP-8, and extraction methods are only from vertebrates.

”Did you say BMP-16? What an international joke, if someone managed to develop BMP-16, they’d win the Nobel Prize in Medicine!” Gou Dachun scoffed.

A few colleagues rolled their eyes: ”Old Gou, what are you talking about, we don’t have time for you. BMP-16, this is a high-purity, high-activity bone morphogenetic protein. If one day the findings are applied in clinical practice, treating fractures, broken bones, disabilities... the prospects are limitless!”

”Holy crap, it could help the lame walk again?”

”Of course it’s possible.”

”The researcher said in the paper, you need sufficient sea urchins and specific plant extraction...”

”Who on earth is this researcher? The academic paper is signed QUEEN? Empress, quite arrogant!”

”Empress? A woman? Could it be one of those eccentric mentors at the Royal Academy?”

”Not sure, the whole world is looking for her, and they say her contact details are only with the International Red Cross Federation. But those people at the Red Society, you know, they’re so aloof, they’d never reveal a single bit...”

”True, with a world-class academic genius like that, why would she easily make an appearance...”

Listening to his colleagues’ exclamations, Gou Dachun was almost jaw-dropping.

Sea urchins?

Plants?

World-class academic genius?

No way it’s such a coincidence, that academic genius’s paper is exactly what that goofball Lan Qingxin answered.

Gou Dachun muttered to himself:

”Impossible, absolutely impossible. That academic waste has always been at the bottom, let alone world-shaking academic papers, if she could even pass her finals...”

”I’d write my name, Gou Dachun, backwards!”
