Chapter 145: The Competitive Teaching Environment and Controlling Genetic Powers

Yan Xia's eyes widened as he saw the countdown on the panel, and he immediately started running.

Even with twelve hours on the clock, he estimated it would take a few hours just to find the classrooms in this massive school.

"Wait!" Ella called out from behind.

Yan Xia didn't stop.

"Do you know where the classrooms are?" Ella asked.

This time, Yan Xia had no choice but to halt.

"Where?" he asked.

Ella pointed to the sky.

Yan Xia looked up and saw a gigantic sphere floating high above the ground. It appeared as large as the moon, and he was certain its size rivaled that of a dwarf planet.

"A virtual blockchain world," Ella explained. "Or, to be more precise, a type of encryption system. Not that I'm saying blockchain is just an encryption system, but this virtual world utilizes blockchain-like encryption technology and has a similar ledger system. Each virtual world is unique, storing user information and creating an incredibly complex system."

"Every blockchain-based virtual world is a classroom. You can create a virtual classroom, which will provide you with a virtual key. Then, you need to distribute these virtual keys to attract students. If no one attends your class, it's considered an invalid teaching session."

Yan Xia couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What the...?"

"Is this teaching or sales?" he asked.

Ella shrugged. "There's no other way. Many scholars at Mozi Academy are vying to become teachers due to the attractive monthly salaries and the teaching points that contribute to their performance."

"So, I turned the situation around. I transformed Mozi Academy into a market-oriented institution. Teachers who fail to attract students for six consecutive months will be dismissed, and the academy will then release new teaching positions on its official website."

Teachers have become corporate slaves.

This is unfair to the teachers.

However, it's quite friendly to the students. It's a way to weed out teachers with poor teaching abilities through internal competition, ensuring the academy maintains a high standard.

Of course, many talented scholars with mediocre teaching skills will also be dismissed, but this is for the greater good of the Federation.

A school is a place for teaching and nurturing. No matter how brilliant you are, if you can't teach and your students can't understand you, what's the point of being here? You're just wasting your time and the students' time. It's better to shine in areas where you excel.

It's a survival-of-the-fittest situation.

"But don't worry. Professors are different from regular teachers. They can't be dismissed within six months. However, every six months, a list of professors with poor teaching quality will be announced to all students, and their reputations will take a hit."

Yan Xia felt like Ella was hinting at something, but he had no evidence.

As a teacher, Yan Xia disagreed with this system, but as the leader of the Civilization Federation, he supported it.

Since that was the case, it was time to get to work.

After all, he had been a professor himself and had a high level of expertise. Controlling and attracting students was a piece of cake for him.

Mozi Academy had an intranet, which was quite active due to its comprehensive resources and abundant study materials.

Yan Xia created a teaching space and immediately posted advertisements on the intranet.

"Want to control the exotic? A professional professor will teach you how to master it from the genetic level!"

"Perfectly modify your genes. All you need is to master these three steps to become bigger and stronger!"

He posted a series of advertisements.

Yan Xia realized that others had already used this method, but their titles were too formal and lacked appeal.

Titles like "Quantum Field Teaching: One-on-One Instruction by a Nas Scholar" didn't seem very enticing.

Yan Xia waited in the classroom for a while.

Sure enough, students started entering soon after.

He confidently began his introduction. His knowledge might be slightly insufficient for bachelor's degree students, but it was more than enough for these lower-level students.

Moreover, his advertisements weren't just gimmicks.

After spending more than three decades on the planet of Giant Horn, his primary research focus had been on physical ascension.

Can organisms rival machines?

This was an eternal topic.

Even in the current Civilization Federation, there were two factions. Some sacrificed their bodies for higher pursuits, while others felt that replacing their bodies was a bit strange.

The virtual classroom had an unlimited capacity, and perhaps due to the effectiveness of Yan Xia's advertisements, the number of students quickly exceeded 1000.

Of course, the main draw was the professor's reputation.

The professors at Mozi Academy were all renowned scholars, and there were only a little over a hundred of them. Yan Xia was probably at the bottom of the list.

"The body is a shackle that restricts the progress of life," he began.

"Regardless of the species, the information stored in the body and the energy it can release are limited. Therefore, our civilization has developed machines to help us dominate all things."

"The history of the Civilization Federation is a testament to this. We rely on quark machines, mechas, spaceships, and battleships, which make us stronger. Even the latest implanted equipment only solves immediate problems and still falls short of machines."

"What are exotic powers? They are unusual abilities, such as controlling fire, lightning, snow, weather, and particles."

"We can achieve these with the help of technology and machines, but they are not our inherent powers. Without these tools, we are nothing."

"Today, I will teach you how to control exotic powers through your genes."

"The first and most fundamental exotic power we will discuss is electricity..."

Electricity is the easiest energy to generate because many substances in the universe are electrically charged.

Yan Xia's goal was to transform some useless muscles or organs into power-generating muscle groups or organs, like the appendix.

This genetic modification didn't require a large-scale change in the genes themselves but only a slight alteration in the gene expression mechanism.

Take wolves and dogs, for example. They look different, but their genes are almost identical, so they can interbreed.

As Yan Xia explained this, many students left because the technique was too simple, and they could find similar information online.

However, Yan Xia's teachings differed from the online resources. His genetic modifications were safe, efficient, high-voltage, cost-effective, and easily controllable. He also provided additional information, such as how to create a current network to transmit the electricity generated by the organs, how to use the body as an electromagnetic accumulator, and how to utilize electricity to enhance physical and mental abilities.

With just a slight difference, the difficulty was ten times lower compared to the previous methods.

Furthermore, after discussing electricity, it became easier to move on to the next exotic power, fire. Carbon-based organisms already possess hydrogen and oxygen. The challenge was to make these gases usable for combustion and as fuel, control their release, and increase the energy output.

These were the very topics that Yan Xia had come to teach.

Starting from the Snow Star, Yan Xia and Ella had decided on the biological reforms for the Civilization Federation, and the implanted equipment was part of this plan.

The content Yan Xia taught might not be the most powerful, but it was universal and could enable everyone to control exotic powers.

This was like laying a foundation, similar to the universal strike Ella had planned for the Snow Star 3000 years in the future.
