Chapter 1656 Take a Peek (Ⅱ)
After a little thought, Joan thought of a method that was most suitable for "peeping".
He first draws a "power of myth", converts it into 7 points of psionic power, and then shows the second-level spiritual prophecy power "remote sensing", using Todd as the anchor, trying to create a nearly invisible psionic observation on top of his head point.
Before, Joan tried to use similar means to detect the situation around Todd. Unfortunately, Todd was in Linyuan Castle at that time, protected by an enchantment, and neither divination spells nor similar psychic powers could see the situation inside Linyuan Castle. Condition.
Now that Todd has left the Fortress of Linyuanbao, "remote sensing" will come in handy.
After a moment of trance, Joan switched his viewing angle to the New Avalon Military Port Wharf thousands of miles away.
After a little adaptation to the ambient light, Joan looked down and soon found a big fat man with a heavy leather bag on his back, striding forward on the soft sand, sweating profusely.
Well, Joan can only admit that his thinking is wrong. Todd's little brother is indeed exercising.
He quickly noticed that there seemed to be something alive in Todd's backpack, kicking his legs and struggling, screaming.
"Todd, what's in your backpack?"
"It's a pig!"
Todd stopped, opened the backpack with his backhand, and a fat, big white pig rushed out immediately, twisting its buttocks and galloping on the beach.
"Wow! The pig has escaped! Master, I have to catch it quickly!"
Todd hurriedly chased after it, and it took a lot of effort to catch the fat pig. He grabbed the two pig's hind feet with one hand, lifted them upside down and stuffed them back into the backpack.
"Todd, why do you carry a fat pig with you?" Joan asked inexplicably.
"Todd likes pigs! And my dad said that he always starves when he marches and fights. He never eats his last meal. He always takes a fat pig with him. It can be used as a spare ration when he is hungry."
"Well, your father is quite wise."
"My father is the most intelligent person in the tribe. People in the tribe call him 'great wisdom'. I don't know why I am so stupid..."
Todd was a little depressed.
Qiao An couldn't bear to see this silly boy sad, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Todd, why are you running with a pig on your back?"
"I was afraid that the pig would slip away. Similar things happened before. My pig slipped away and was caught by a bad guy named 'Bucktooth' Cook. Instead of returning it to me, he even killed my pig. I was so angry that I beat him up!" Todd recalled angrily.
"But running with a pig on your back, don't you feel tired?"
Qiao An visually estimated that the big fat pig weighed at least 500 pounds. If he carried such a fat pig on his back, let alone running, he might not even be able to climb.
"I'm a little tired, but doesn't exercising mean that the more tired the better, the more sweat the better?"
Todd asked solemnly.
Joan didn't know how to answer for a moment, coughed twice, and said: "Then you continue to exercise! When you arrive at Calydon Island, remember to listen and memorize more, but don't rush to inquire about sensitive information, so as not to arouse suspicion."
"Hmm! Master, don't worry, I will remember your instructions!"
After finishing the communication with Todd, Joan canceled the "remote sensing technique", and decided to use the time before dinner to exercise his body and practice the basic boxing skills of "Douqi School" taught by Master Heimdall.
...
The two papers written by Joan before serving in the military, as Professor Moriarty expected, were successfully published in the "Offa Letters".
One of those papers, on the mystery of the Dinosaur Riot at Lake Aosta, was published in the May issue and earned him 65 academic credits.
The score is not too high, but judging from the feedback from editors and reviewers, Joan’s ingenious investigative style of writing has been praised, just like reading a thrilling detective novel, which is different from those boring and obscure ones. The comparison of papers is especially impressive and impressive.
The reason why the score is not high is because the technical aspects of the thesis are too simple, but it is a special case of the parasitic characteristics of Huangquan bee colonies, and it is particularly profound because it involves cults, wars, and conspiracy.
In general, the news value and popular science value of this article are far greater than the academic value.
For young scholars like Qiao An, this kind of "lightweight" articles is a useful attempt, which may be done occasionally, but it is not suitable for the main direction of attack, otherwise it will be a waste of talent.
In contrast, another paper, also independently written by Joan and published in the June issue of "Arcania Newsletter", is much more "hard-core" in the systematic study of the effect of blood and souls of alien creatures on the strengthening effect of summoning spells , received 70 points of praise.
In just half a year, Joan published three papers in the "Offa Newsletter" as the corresponding author and the first author. Volunteering in the two places with Midgard, I can only spare a very limited time and energy to engage in academic research during the war. This exuberant creativity is almost abnormal, which is really amazing.
The academic value of these three papers alone has greatly exceeded the reasonable expectations of the Austrian law academic circle for a young scholar who won the "Rising Star Award" last year.
You must know that most of the so-called young geniuses who have won the "Rising Star Award" in the past have achieved the highest achievement in their lifetime, which is just a "Rising Star Award".
Geniuses who are too precocious are also prone to premature aging. As they grow older, from youth to middle age, the aura of genius gradually fades, and most of them become mediocre "screws" in the academic system. There are very few people who can truly advance from "genius" to "master" level.
Joan's performance in the past six months has shown amazing potential. "Genius" is just a trivial title for him, and now the academic circles have to take this 15-year-old "magic boy" seriously and include him in the system of judging "masters", unlike those who have been famous for many years The senior scholars are placed on the same starting line, competing for an academic "laurel crown" that is far more valuable than the "Rising Star Award".
This laurel crown is the famous "Ebdon Award".
On the afternoon of June 17, as soon as Qiao An received the sample issue of the month from the editorial department of "Ofa Communication", she was arrested by Dean Franklin and gave a lecture in the office.
As soon as he walked into the dean's office, the old man Franklin said to him with a smile on his face: "Dr. Vader, I have some good news for you."
"Mr. Dean, what's the good news?" Joan asked curiously.
"In the past six months, you have made great progress in academic research. You have published three high-level papers in the "Aofa Newsletter", "Petrochemical Effect", "Secrets of the Dinosaur Epidemic in Lake Aosta", "Essence and Blood and "Soul" has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions in the arcane academic circles, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to achieve such a great achievement in such a short period of time!" Dean Franklin looked at the young mage with a gratified face .
